Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

An investment in our common stock involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors in addition to the other information contained in our offering circular before purchasing shares. The occurrence of the stated risks might cause you to lose a significant part, or all, of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed in the offering circular are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this semiannual report constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this semiannual report. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we do not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Operating Results

 

Overview

 

MogulREIT II, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on January 13, 2017 to own and manage a diversified portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States. The use of the terms “MogulREIT II,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this semiannual report refer to MogulREIT II, Inc., unless the context indicates otherwise. We are externally managed by RM Adviser, LLC, (our “Manager”), which is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RM Sponsor, LLC (our “Sponsor”). Both our Manager and our Sponsor are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Realty Mogul, Co. Although our Manager manages our day-to-day operations, we operate under the direction of our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent directors. Our affiliate, RM Technologies, LLC, operates an online investment platform, www.realtymogul.com. We are continuing to offer, pursuant to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock, including any shares that may be sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan (the “Offering”) and such shares are being offered in the Offering exclusively through the aforementioned platform. The Offering was qualified by the SEC on August 23, 2017, and we commenced operations on September 18, 2017.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of approximately $28.3 million from settled subscriptions and issued an aggregate of 2,822,513 shares of our common stock. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering (after paying or reimbursing organization and offering expenses) to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our consolidated financial statements are presented for the six months ended June 30, 2020, resulting in a consolidated loss of $1,475,000 of which $1,007,000 was attributable to MogulREIT II, Inc. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) require any subsidiaries or affiliates under common control to be consolidated. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its controlled joint ventures, Travertine North Park Investors, LLC and Vinegar Hill Asset, LLC, which were acquired during 2017, Avon 46, LLC, which was acquired during 2018 and RM Terrace Hill, LLC, which was acquired during 2019.

 

Sources of Operating Revenue and Cash Flows

 

Our revenue is mainly generated from rental income and other tenant fee revenue of our consolidated investments, equity in earnings of our unconsolidated joint ventures and accrued interest in our preferred equity investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred real estate expenses of $1,576,000 as compared to the same period in 2019 in which we incurred real estate expenses of $1,153,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred interest expense of $1,695,000 as compared to the same period in 2019 in which we incurred interest expenses of $1,315,000.

 

Distributions

 

Our board of directors has declared and paid, and we expect that our board of directors will continue to declare and pay, distributions quarterly in arrears. Stockholders who are record holders with respect to declared distributions will be entitled to such distributions until such time as the stockholders have had their shares repurchased by us.

 

On December 15, 2017, our board of directors declared our first distribution to stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on December 17, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017. Our board of directors has declared quarterly distributions for stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last day of each quarter, as shown in the table below:

  (6) Annualized yield represents the annualized yield amount of each distribution calculated on an annualized basis at the then current rate, assuming a $10.42 per share purchase price (the then-current purchase price for the period from April 1, 2020 to April 29, 2020) and calculated for April 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020 and a $9.77 per share purchase price (the current purchase price effective April 30, 2020) for the distribution period from May 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020.

 

MogulREIT II has declared distributions for 10 consecutive quarters. Distributions have been paid on a quarterly basis since January 1, 2018 that equate to approximately 4.5% on an annualized basis based upon the then current per share purchase price.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We require capital to fund our investment activities and operating expenses. Our capital sources may include net proceeds from the Offering, cash flow from operations and borrowings under loans and credit facilities.

 

We currently obtain the capital required to purchase real estate-related investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of the Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders including an affiliate of our Manager, and from any undistributed funds from our operations. As of June 30, 2020, we had made seven investments with an investment value of approximately $14 million, net of capital returned from refinancings, and had cash of approximately $13.4 million, of which $2.3 million was attributed to our consolidated investments. We anticipate that proceeds from the Offering will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments as of June 30, 2020 as well as our operational cost.

 

If we raise substantially less than $50,000,000 in gross offering proceeds, we will make fewer investments resulting in less diversification in terms of the type, number and size of investments we make and the value of an investment in us will fluctuate more with the performance of the specific assets we acquire. Further, we will have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in the Offering. Our inability to raise substantial funds would increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions.

 

We do not expect to use leverage at the portfolio level, but we have used, and may continue to use, asset-level leverage, which, in the aggregate across the portfolio, we do not expect to exceed 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our total assets, capital expenditures and closing costs. As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings other than those owed to related parties and mortgages outstanding on our consolidated investments.

 

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. We expect aggregate organization and offering expenses to be approximately $900,000 or, if we raise the maximum offering amount, approximately 3% of gross offering proceeds. If the Offering is not successfully completed, we will not be obligated to pay the remaining offering and organizational costs owed to our Manager. Real estate sponsors may make payments to our Sponsor or its affiliates in connection with the selection or purchase of investments. We will pay the Manager a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 1.25%, which is based on total equity value, which equals (a) our then-current net asset value (“NAV”) per share, as determined by our board of directors, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding. During our acquisition stage, we also expect to make payments to our Manager in connection with the purchase of investments of up to 3% of the contract purchase price of each asset and for costs incurred by our Manager in providing services to us. When assets are disposed of, we expect to make payments to our Manager of up to 2% of the contract sales prices of each property sold.

Outlook and Recent Trends

 

Since the inception of MogulREIT II, we have focused on two key objectives: realize capital appreciation in the value of our investments over the long term and pay attractive and stable cash distributions to stockholders. This strategy is not changing. To date, the majority of our investments have been in value-add multifamily apartment buildings and our business plan is to continue to invest in this asset class pursuant to our investment guidelines as shared in the formal offering circular.

 

We remain excited about value-add multifamily investing and believe that it may provide a good risk adjusted return in today’s market. We seek to mitigate risk by keeping cash flow at the properties while we are engaged in renovations. We are concerned about cap rates, as they are near historical lows in certain markets for multifamily investments; thus, we are particularly interested in investing in markets where occupancy levels remained high during the 2008 recession.

 

MACRO OVERVIEW

 

On the heels of the longest period of expansion in U.S. history, Q2 2020 reflected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy as it suffered its largest quarterly GDP decline in history. During that time, the U.S. underwent an almost complete shutdown of the economy, with most states prohibiting non-essential services, leading to a 25% drop in consumer spending according to the U.S. Commerce Department Bureau of Economic Analysis (“BEA”). While some industries may bounce back quickly, a report by McKinsey & Company suggests it may take up to five years for certain industries to rebound to 2019-level GDP contributions. Those industries include arts, entertainment and recreation, accommodation and food services, educational services, transportation services and manufacturing. Given what we know, we are inclined to agree with Joe Zidle at Blackstone who sees a “‘square root’ recovery, characterized by 1) the initial sharp drop that we have already experienced; 2) a sharp, but smaller, bounce back to a lower level; and 3) a long, flat recovery.” We are incorporating this outlook in our strategic thinking as we underwrite new investments.

 

While containment of the COVID-19 pandemic has varied throughout the country, the federal government has intervened with upwards of $3 trillion to try to relieve downward economic pressure caused by COVID-19. A study conducted by The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania estimated that the $2.3 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) increases GDP by approximately 5% in 2020 while lowering GDP by 0.2% in 2030. Based on the stimulus plans already enacted, we do not believe that the U.S. government will allow the country to sink into a depression.

As it stands now, we remain, like many, in the discovery stage, gathering data as it becomes available to guide our portfolio composition and strategy. We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, tenants, operating partners, managers and our portfolio of investments, and on the United States and global economies. Although we believe that we are well positioned to withstand potential economic shocks or economic slowdown, we will continue to monitor and reevaluate our investments so that we are prepared to take advantage of any market changes.

 

GDP GROWTH

 

As of June 2020, the Federal Reserve forecasts a GDP decline of 6.5% for the year 2020, which was the median of individual projections from Federal Reserve participants that ranged from negative 10.0 to negative 4.2 percent. The wide range may reflect differing opinions on recovery and uncertainty regarding COVID-19. In Q2 2020, the U.S. economy shrank by 32.9% quarter over quarter at a seasonally adjusted annual rate compared to a 5.0% decrease in Q1 2020 per the BEA. While the aforementioned Blackstone projection reflected a “square root” recovery, J.P. Morgan is now predicting a U-shaped recession, with a fall, stall and surge, while Wells Fargo is anticipating a V-shaped recession, citing the Fed’s targeted economic policies as a catalyst for a recovery.

 

 

 

EMPLOYMENT AND WAGE GROWTH

 

Unemployment has fluctuated as a result of COVID-19, reaching a peak in April 2020 at 14.9% as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”). The unemployment rate has since dropped to 10.2% as of July 2020. The Federal Reserve forecasts an unemployment rate of 9.3% for year-end 2020.

 

 

 

IMPACT OF MONETARY POLICY

 

As a result of COVID-19, the Federal Reserve took emergency measures and reduced the Federal Funds Rate to zero in order to boost the economy. Based on commentary from the Federal Reserve, it plans to maintain a low interest rate environment in the near to intermediate term future.

 

5
 

 

 

 

During this time, Congress also passed the $484 billion Paycheck Protection Program, or “PPP,” and Health Care Enhancement Act, the $2.3 trillion CARES Act, the $8.3 billion Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act and the $192 billion Families First Coronavirus Response Act, totaling almost $3 trillion of coronavirus-related aid to both business and individuals. It remains to be seen if these measures will create an inflationary environment in the intermediate to long term, but if it does, real estate and other hard assets have historically been inflationary hedges during these periods.

 

MULTIFAMILY FUNDAMENTALS

 

We continue to believe in the macroeconomic fundamentals that highlight the benefits of multifamily investing. We believe that the need for affordable and workforce housing is not going to change in the next 10+ years; however, there may be some temporary moments of pain for investors and landlords. The U.S. homeownership rate ticked up from to 65.3% as of March 2020 to 67.9% as of June 2020, which we believe may be a result of historically low interest rates as well as the effect of COVID-19 on renters vacating high-rise, densely populated buildings. Interestingly, on a longer-term scale, multifamily vacancy rates have trended downward since 2015 even as homeownership rates have increased as depicted in the graph produced by CBRE Research on the following page. While we believe that the housing market supply will need to be increased meaningfully over the long term, particularly in affordable product such as workforce housing, in the near term, there may be a pause in demand due to the rise in unemployment. We will continue to closely monitor the effects of COVID-19 on supply-demand dynamics.

 

 

 

While average rents declined for the first time since 2010, Class B and C effective rents experienced smaller decreases than the Class A assets. CBRE posits that Class A assets may be experiencing both the pressure from new supply hitting the market as well as the variety of housing options available to their renters. The data also varied based on property location. Overwhelmingly, the Midwest fared the best in Q2, with all but two cities, Minneapolis and Chicago, experiencing quarter-over-quarter rent increases.

According to CBRE, Q2 2020 net absorption fell to 21,100 units, which, while still positive, was the lowest Q2 absorption since 2009. CBRE also notes that net absorption is anticipated to trend negative for the balance of the year. We are anticipating a similar trend in the short-term, and we have made corresponding changes in our underwriting of new deals.

 

 

 

When we break down the data further, it appears that absorption varied widely in different parts of the country. Large cities such as Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Miami recorded the lowest net absorption, ranging from negative 7,200 units to negative 1,900 units; conversely, Houston, Dallas, Minneapolis, Austin and Washington D.C. recorded the highest net absorption, ranging from 2,300 units to 2,900 units.

 

Lastly, according to CBRE, multifamily vacancy rates increased by 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 4.6%. It is important to note that each asset class within multifamily appears to be reacting differently to COVID-19. Class A experienced the largest vacancy increase of 70 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 5.7%, followed by Class B, which rose 20 basis points to 4.6%, while Class C experienced a 10 basis points decrease in vacancy to 3.9%. CBRE also notes that suburban submarkets generally outperformed urban submarkets, partly due to higher concentrations of COVID-19 infections in certain cities and from remote-working arrangements.

 

 

 

CBRE reports that the initial impact of COVID-19 on multifamily vacancy has been mixed, with owners reporting higher lease renewals but fewer new leases signed. Data collection is still ongoing regarding the effects of COVID-19, but we believe that in the near-term, multifamily vacancy rates may increase and rents may remain flat as landlords focus on retaining tenants to maintain occupancy.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

 

Since inception in MogulREIT II, we have focused on two key objectives: realize capital appreciation in the value of our investments over the long term and pay attractive and stable cash distributions to shareholders.

 

In order to achieve these objectives, we target value-add multifamily investments, which investment strategy involves acquiring apartment communities that can benefit from a value-add plan in which the real estate operator is making both exterior improvements, such as adding amenities like playgrounds, clubhouses and outdoor living areas as well as interior improvements such as upgraded appliances, air conditioning and finishes. We believe that these investments have a high value from an investment standpoint as well as a high value in the local community by enhancing previously underserviced apartment buildings. Lastly, we believe that these properties offer significant downside protection on one’s investment due to the large number of tenants at each property and the adaptability of individual property business plans.

 

We had two investments complete the first phases of their business plans in Q1 2020, Clover Apartments and Villas de Sol. For these assets, the real estate company renovated units as they became available, beautified the properties’ exteriors, improved management for previously underserved tenancy and subsequently, refinanced the assets to monetize the value creation and return capital to MogulREIT II and its other investors. Other assets in our portfolio were amid business plans when COVID-19 hit the United States. For assets like Avon, Villas de Sonoma and Villas de Toscana, we worked with our partners to adapt business plans by temporarily shifting focus to tenant assistance and tenant retention while pausing capital improvement and unit renovation plans to maintain occupancy and preserve balance sheet capital. Avon and Villas de Toscana have maintained the same rate of occupancy since Q1 2020 and Villas de Sonoma has increased occupancy by 2%. The Brooklyn Portfolio continues to face challenges due to the effects of COVID-19 on New York specifically, but occupancy has ended each quarter above 94% since inception and the real estate company has increased its collections each month since April. Lastly, Terrace Hill has not only increased its occupancy to its highest since inception at 94%, but our Manager, the sponsor of the transaction, continues to renovate units as the market continues to absorb these units.

 

As an investor in real estate, we are also striving to adapt to the changing times. While multifamily data from Q2 2020 reflected the realities of COVID-19, it encapsulated our belief that we are all experiencing the impact of COVID-19 differently. On a macroeconomic level, the country experienced its first recession since the Great Recession of 2009 where generally vacancy rates increased and rents decreased. On a microeconomic level, however, each market and asset class is behaving differently. Thus far, from an investment perspective, the Midwest has generally held up the best, with most major markets experiencing rent increases. We believe that this is a result of wider city sprawl and lower population density compared to coastal cities. As mentioned above, Class B and C properties have performed better than Class A assets, partly due to pressure from new supply hitting the market as well as the variety of housing options available to their renters. It is important to note that we have no exposure currently to Class A communities, by design. We believe that garden style multifamily, which comprises the majority of our portfolio, will be more desirable for renters in the future given its expansive nature compared to mid-high rise buildings.

 

Multifamily assets have been the bread-and-butter of RealtyMogul Co., the parent company of our Manager, for the last seven years and RealtyMogul Co. and its affiliates have thus far invested in over 13,000 apartment units. We fundamentally believe that the need for affordable and workforce housing is not going to change in the next 10+ years; however, there may be some temporary moments of pain for investors and landlords. We believe this downturn will allow us to acquire and invest in quality assets in quality markets – if we have the stomach and patience, which decades of combined experience in real estate among our team has taught us that we do. While we will take advantage of the low interest rate environment when we place debt on the property, our underwriting guidelines mandate that the property must also stand on its own. We had communicated our general underwriting standards in last quarter’s letter, and they remain the same as of now. We are underwriting cautious business plans in Year 1, and potential changes may include removing unit renovations, increasing bad debt, increasing vacancy and/or removing rent growth. We believe that our robust process for sourcing new investments, prudent underwriting and patience will allow us to thrive over the long term.

We fundamentally believe in the strategy to acquire multifamily properties due to the asset class’ resiliency during downturns and potential long-term appreciation. While the disruption caused by COVID-19 is a hurdle for our existing portfolio, we believe that we have taken the appropriate steps to weather the disruption, we are sitting on an ample supply of cash, and we are hopeful that it will be a boon for new investments. We will continue to target assets located in resilient markets that offer current income and solid growth potential. As always, we want to be prepared and we want to be able to hold onto real estate assets through multiple real estate cycles.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. Such judgments are based on our management’s experience, our historical experience, the experience of our Manager’s affiliates, and the industry. We consider these policies critical because we believe that understanding these policies is critical to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. Additionally, these policies may involve significant management judgments and assumptions, or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Please refer to “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 3. “Financial Statements” contained in this report, for a more thorough discussion of our accounting policies and procedures.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Related Party Arrangements

 

For further details, please see “Note 7 ─ Related Party Arrangements” in Item 3. “Financial Statements” below.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Our Manager believes that funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) each of which are non-GAAP measures, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and of our company in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable properties, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles, real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated/uncombined partnerships and joint ventures. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s cash flow generated by operations.

 

We calculate AFFO by subtracting from (or adding to) FFO:

 

  the amortization of accrual or various deferred costs; and
     
  an adjustment to reverse the effects of unrealized gains/(losses).

Our calculation of AFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs. Our management will utilize FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they will be useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash expenses.

 

Additionally, FFO and AFFO will serve as measures of our operating performance because they facilitate evaluation of the Company without the effects of selected items required in accordance with GAAP that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, AFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs.

 

Neither FFO nor AFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and AFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

 

Our unaudited FFO and AFFO calculations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, are as follows:

MogulREIT II, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020 (unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Formation and Organization

 

MogulREIT II, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland corporation on January 13, 2017 to own and manage a diversified portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States. The use of the terms “MogulREIT II”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” in this semiannual report refer to MogulREIT II, Inc., unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

The Company is externally managed by RM Adviser, LLC (“Manager”), which is an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, RM Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”). Our Manager and our Sponsor are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Realty Mogul, Co. (“RM”). Our Manager is an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Although our Manager manages our day-to-day operations, we operate under the direction of our board of directors, a majority of whom are independent directors.

 

The Company’s investing and management activities related to commercial real estate are all considered a single reportable business segment for financial reporting purposes. All of the investments the Company has made to date have been in domestic commercial real estate assets with similar economic characteristics, and the Company evaluates the performance of all of its investments using similar criterion.

 

We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. We hold substantially all of our assets directly, and as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, have not established an operating partnership or any taxable REIT subsidiary or qualified REIT subsidiary.

 

Pursuant to the Form 1-A filed with the SEC with respect to our offering (the “Offering”) of up to $50,000,000 in shares of common stock, the purchase price for all shares was $9.77 per share as of June 30, 2020. The Offering was qualified by the SEC on August 23, 2017, and we commenced operations as of September 18, 2017. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has issued and outstanding 2,743,408 and 2,460,817 shares, respectively, including 10,000 shares issued to our Sponsor, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. The Company has the authority to issue 9,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2020, there had been approximately 79,000 shares repurchased by the Company.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of equity, statements of cash flows and related notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company has adopted a calendar year basis of reporting.

 

GAAP requires any subsidiaries, investments, or affiliates under the Company’s control to be consolidated. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include its controlled joint ventures, Travertine North Park Investors, LLC and Vinegar Hill Asset, LLC, which were acquired during 2017, Avon 46, LLC, which was acquired during 2018, and RM Terrace Hill, LLC, which was acquired during 2019. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any other interim period or for the entire year and certain disclosures may be condensed for interim reporting. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 1-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2020.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements. Actual events and results could differ from those assumptions and estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

At times, our cash may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250,000 per institution. The Company mitigates credit risk by placing cash with major financial institutions. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on cash.

 

Geographic concentration

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s investments in real estate operate in Texas, Connecticut and New York. Future operations could be affected by changes in economic or other conditions in those geographical areas or the demand for such housing.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s annualized rental income in real estate equity investments by state is approximately 51%, 29% and 20%, for Texas, Connecticut and New York, respectively.

 

Organizational, Offering and Related Costs

 

Organizational and offering costs of the Company are initially being paid by the Manager on behalf of the Company. These organizational and offering costs include all expenses to be paid by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company and the qualification of the Offering, and the marketing and distribution of shares, including, without limitation, expenses for printing, and amending offering statements or supplementing offering circulars, mailing and distributing costs, advertising and marketing expenses, charges of experts and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of the sale of shares under federal and state laws, including taxes and fees and accountants’ and attorneys’ fees.

 

The Company expenses organization costs as incurred and offering costs, when incurred, will be deferred and charged to additional paid-in capital. The deferred offering costs will be charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering when received or written off in the event that the Offering is not successfully completed.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Manager has incurred offering costs of approximately $932,000 and $896,000, respectively, on behalf of the Company, including the full amount of legal fees of approximately $322,000 and $302,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately $827,000 and $739,000 of offering costs, respectively, had been amortized and were included in the consolidated statement of equity.

Variable Interest Entities and Voting Interest Entities

 

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE includes consideration of various factors. These factors include review of the formation and design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and relevant financial agreements, and analysis of the forecasted cash flows of the entity. We make an initial determination upon acquisition of a VIE, and reassess the initial evaluation of an entity as a VIE upon the occurrence of certain events.

 

A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering various factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of our interest and the other interests. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the future performance of investments held by VIEs and general market conditions. The maximum risk of loss related to our investments is limited to our recorded investment in such entities, if any.

 

A voting interest entity (“VOE”) is an entity in which equity investors have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and has sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities. A controlling financial interest exists if limited partners with equity at risk are able to exercise substantive kick-out rights or are able to exercise substantive participation rights. Under the VOE model, generally, only a single limited partner that is able to exercise substantial kick-out rights will consolidate the entity.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held investments in three entities, which were evaluated under the VOE model and were not consolidated because the Company does not have substantive kick-out rights or a controlling financial interest. These investments are carried on the equity method because of the Company’s significant influence.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held investments in four entities, which were evaluated under the VOE model and are consolidated because the Company is able to exercise substantial kick-out rights and substantive participation rights.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company intends to operate and be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning the year ended December 31, 2017. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. No material provisions have been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and no gross deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recorded as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020 (unaudited)

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, approximately $609,000 and $854,000, respectively, in distributions have been made to stockholders. The Company expects its distributions to be characterized for federal income tax purposes as (i) ordinary income, (ii) non-taxable return of capital, or (iii) long-term capital gain. Distributions that exceed current or accumulated taxable earnings and profits constitute a return of capital for tax purposes and reduce the stockholders’ basis in the shares of common stock. To the extent that distributions exceed both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the stockholders’ basis in shares of common stock, they will generally be treated as a gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of our stockholders’ shares of common stock. We report the taxability of such distributions in information returns that are provided to our stockholders and filed with the Internal Revenue Service in the year following such distributions.

 

All tax periods since inception remain open to examination by the major taxing authorities in all jurisdictions where we are subject to taxation.

 

Stockholder Funds Receivable

 

Stockholder funds receivable consists of shares that have been issued with subscriptions that have not yet settled. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was approximately $51,000 and $134,000, respectively, in subscriptions that had not settled. All of these funds settled subsequent to June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Stockholder funds receivable are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

 

Settling Subscriptions Payable

 

Share repurchases initiated in June 2020 and settled in August 2020 will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as Settling Subscriptions Payable as of June 30, 2020. This liability was reversed subsequent to June 30, 2020 when the share repurchases settled in August 2020.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Company and tenants of the property are operating leases and are one year or less.

 

For certain properties, in addition to contractual base rent, the tenants pay their share of utilities to the Company. The income and expenses associated with these properties are generally recorded on a gross basis when the Company is the primary obligor.

 

Tenant fees, such as application fees, administrative fees, late fees, and other revenues from tenants are recorded when amounts become due.

 

As a result of the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company has updated its policies as it relates to revenue recognition. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The adoption of ASC 606 did not materially change our revenue recognition patterns.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate

 

Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company recorded acquired real estate investments that are consolidated as business combinations when the real estate is occupied, at least in part, at acquisition. Costs directly related to the acquisition of such investments have been expensed as incurred. The purchase consideration includes cash paid, the fair value of equity or other assets issued, and the fair value of any assumed debt. The Company assesses the fair value of assumed debt based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The difference between the fair value and the stated principal of assumed debt is amortized using the effective interest method basis over the terms of the respective debt obligation.

 

The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the fair value of land, buildings, site improvements and intangible assets including in-place leases at the acquisition date. The Company estimates the fair value of the assets using market-based, cost-based, and income-based valuation techniques.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides that if substantially all the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in any individual asset, the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination. Under an asset acquisition, costs directly related to the acquisition are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration. The fair value of the purchase consideration is then allocated based on the relative fair value of the assets. The estimates of the fair value of the purchase consideration and the fair value of the assets acquired is consistent with the techniques used in a business combination.

 

Investments in Equity Method Investees

 

If it is determined that we do not have a controlling interest in a joint venture through our financial interest in a VIE or through our voting interest in a VOE and we have the ability to provide significant influence, the equity method of accounting is used. Under this method, the investment, originally recorded at cost, is adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliate as they occur, with losses limited to the extent of our investment in, advances to, and commitments to the investee. The Company evaluates its investment in equity method investees for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. To do so, the Company would calculate the estimated fair value of the investment using various valuation techniques, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the entity, the financial condition and long-term prospects of the entity, and the expected term of the investment. If the Company determined any decline in value is other-than-temporary, the Company would recognize an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of its investment to fair value. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, we recorded a loss of approximately $181,000 and $281,000, respectively, related to equity method investees.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets and Impairment of Real Estate Owned

 

The Company reviews its real estate portfolio on a quarterly basis to ascertain if there are any indicators of impairment to the value of any of its real estate assets, including deferred costs and intangibles, to determine if there is any need for an impairment charge. In reviewing the portfolio, the Company examines one or more of the following: the type of asset, the current financial statements or other available financial information of the asset, and the economic situation in the area in which the asset is located. For each real estate asset owned for which indicators of impairment exist, management performs a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset to its carrying amount. If the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the estimated fair value is less than the asset’s carrying amount. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the property. The analysis includes an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

 

Restricted Cash and Escrows

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated 2016-18 (“ASU 2016-18”) Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation requirements of restricted cash within the statement of cash flows. The standard requires that changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents during the period be included in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balance reconciliation on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this standard results in amounts previously recorded in cash provided by (used in) operating activities on the statement of cash flows to be included in the beginning and ending balances of Cash and Restricted Cash and Equivalents on the statements of cash flows. The adoption of this standard results in amounts detailed below that are reported as restricted cash and escrows and deposits on the balance sheet to be included in Cash and Restricted Cash and Equivalents on the statements of cash flows.

 

The following are the amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheets that are included in Cash and Restricted Cash and Equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows:

 

   June 30, 2020   June 30, 2019 
         
Cash and cash equivalents  $13,379,000   $3,747,000 
           
Restricted cash, escrows and deposit   1,534,000    1,396,000 
           
Total cash and restricted cash and equivalents  $14,913,000   $5,143,000 

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent payments. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was $114,796 and $54,634, respectively, in the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements.

Depreciation

 

Depreciation of assets is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation of buildings is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 30 to 40 years. Site improvements and certain building improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 10 years and depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years. Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $1,596,000 and $1,085,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

Advertising costs

 

The Company’s policy is to expense advertising costs when incurred. Such costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were $73,000 and $50,000, respectively.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Mortgage costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method which management does not believe is materially different than the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the respective debt obligations. At June 30, 2020, deferred financing costs amounted to $793,921, net of accumulated amortization of $422,191. At December 31, 2019, deferred financing costs amounted to $679,726, net of accumulated amortization of $289,506. The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

 

Fair Value

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Financial Instruments - FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, other current assets and liabilities, long-term debt and derivative instruments. The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, other current assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value of the Company’s senior and subordinated debt instruments approximates their carrying value as the interest is tied to or approximates market rates or is short term in nature.

 

Fair Value Option

 

ASC 825 “Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASC 825”) provides a fair value option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. ASC 825 permits the fair value option election on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition. We have decided not to make this election.

If a non-independent director is also an employee of the Company or our Manager or its affiliates, we will not pay compensation for services rendered as a director. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, we issued approximately 1,000 shares and 2,500 shares, respectively, to Mr. Levy and our independent directors. Compensation expense in the amount of $34,195 and $10,000, respectively, was recorded in 2020 and 2019, based on the offering price of approximately $9.77 and $10 per share, respectively, which approximates fair value.

Under various agreements, the Company has engaged or will engage RM Adviser, LLC and its affiliates to provide certain services to the Company, including asset management services, asset acquisition and disposition decisions, the sale of the Company’s shares of our common stock available for issue, as well as other administrative responsibilities for the Company including accounting services and investor relations. As a result of these relationships, the Company is dependent upon RM Adviser, LLC and its affiliates. In the event that these companies were unable to provide the Company with the respective services, the Company would be required to find alternative providers of these services.

Legal Proceedings

 

As of June 30, 2020, we are not named as a defendant in any active or pending litigation. However, it is possible that the Company could become involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of our business. Although we are unable to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, management is not aware of any litigation likely to occur that we currently assess as being significant to us.

 

COVID-19

 

During the six-month period ended on June 30, 2020, the effects of the COVID-19 virus began impacting many aspects of the U.S. economy. The Company recognizes that COVID-19 may have an adverse impact on its business and investments; however, as of September 28, 2020, there were no material quantifiable measurements of adverse effects on the Company’s business or investments.

 

Note 11 – Subsequent Events

 

Events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, must be evaluated for recognition or disclosure. The effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the consolidated balance sheet date are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the consolidated balance sheet date require disclosure in the accompanying notes. Management has evaluated the activity of the Company through September 28, 2020, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and noted no events that provided evidence of conditions that existed on the balance sheet date that were not properly recorded.
