INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly those included in Part I, Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include discussion and analysis of our financial condition, including our ability to rent space on favorable terms, our ability to address debt maturities and fund our liquidity requirements, the value of our assets, our anticipated capital expenditures, the amount and timing of anticipated future cash distributions to our unit holders and other matters.  Words such as “may,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and indicate that it is possible that the event may not occur.  If these events do not occur, the result which we expected also may or may not occur in a different manner, which may be more or less favorable to us.  We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

 

Any forward-looking statements included in MD&A, or elsewhere in this report, are not historical facts, but reflect the intent, belief or current expectations of our managing general partner based on its knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, the economy and other future conditions only as of the date of this report and may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we caution unit holders not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or forecast in any forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors listed and described under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013, as they may be revised or supplemented by us in subsequent reports on form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 NTS REALTY HOLDINGS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership’s (“NTS Realty”) 2012 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of NTS Realty as of that date.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  In the opinion of NTS Realty Capital, Inc., our managing general partner (“NTS Realty Capital”), all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.  As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” or “our,” as the context requires, may refer to NTS Realty, its wholly-owned properties, properties held by wholly-owned subsidiaries, its interests in consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments or interests in properties held as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party.

 

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Distribution Policy

 

We are in the business of developing, constructing, owning and operating multifamily properties, commercial and retail real estate.  As of September 30, 2013, we owned wholly, as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties or through joint venture investments with both affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, 24 properties, comprised of 15 multifamily properties, 7 commercial properties and 2 retail properties.  The properties are located in and around Louisville (7) and Lexington (1), Kentucky; Fort Lauderdale (3) and Orlando (3), Florida; Indianapolis (4), Indiana; Memphis (1) and Nashville (2), Tennessee; Richmond (2), Virginia; and Atlanta (1), Georgia.  Our commercial properties aggregate approximately 736,000 square feet, which includes approximately 125,000 square feet at our property held as a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party, and our retail properties contain approximately 47,000 square feet.  We own multifamily properties containing 4,393 rental units, which includes 686 rental units at our properties held as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party.

 

We pay distributions if and when authorized by our managing general partner using proceeds from advances drawn on our revolving note payable to a bank.  We are required to pay distributions on a quarterly basis of an amount no less than sixty-five percent (65%) of our “net cash flow from operations” as this term is defined in regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; provided that if a law is enacted or existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that subjects us to taxation as a corporation or otherwise subjects us to entity level taxation for federal, state or local income tax purposes, we will adjust the amount distributed to reflect our obligation to pay tax.  Any distribution other than a distribution with respect to the final quarter of a calendar year shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days after the last day of such quarter based on our estimate of “net cash flow from operations” for the year.  Any distribution with respect to the final quarter of a calendar year shall be made no later than ninety (90) days after the last day of such quarter based on actual “net cash flow from operations” for the year, adjusted for any excess or insufficient distributions made with respect to the first three quarters of the calendar year.

 

“Net cash flow from operations” may be reduced by the amount of reserves as determined by us each quarter.  NTS Realty Capital may establish these reserves for, among other things, working capital or capital improvement needs.  Therefore, there is no assurance that we will have “net cash flow from operations” from which to pay distributions in the future.  For example, our partnership agreement permits our managing general partner to reinvest sales or refinancing proceeds in new and existing properties or to create reserves to fund future capital expenditures.  Because “net cash flow from operations” is calculated after reinvesting sales or refinancing proceeds or establishing reserves, we may not have any “net cash flow from operations” from which to pay distributions.

 

We paid quarterly distributions of $0.05 per unit to limited partners on April 12, 2013, July 12, 2013 and October 11, 2013.

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned properties and properties that are less than wholly-owned, but which we control or for which we are the primary beneficiary.  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 Consolidation provides guidance on the identification and accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”).  We consolidate a VIE when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary based on the qualitative factors affecting:

 

·                  Our power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance; and

 

·                  Our obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements, when determining the party with the controlling financial interest, as defined, by accounting standards.  There have been no changes during 2013 in conclusions about whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether we are the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we did not provide financial or other support to a previously identified VIE that we were not previously contractually obligated to provide.  Our unconsolidated joint venture interests and our properties owned as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party are accounted for under the equity method.  Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

We own a joint venture investment with an unaffiliated third party in a commercial office building located in Louisville, Kentucky. The building, known as 600 North Hurstbourne, was developed by our affiliate, NTS Development Company.  This joint venture, Campus One, LLC, is a variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary.  NTS Corporation through its subsidiaries, NTS Development Company and NTS Management Company, holds the right to receive significant benefits through its agreement as developer and manager, respectively.  Our interest in this variable interest entity is accounted for using the equity method.  Our ownership interest is reflected as investments in and advances to joint ventures on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

As of October 31, 2012, we entered into a joint venture investment agreement with an unaffiliated third party to invest in a commercial office building totaling approximately 125,000 square feet at 700 North Hurstbourne Parkway on the ShelbyHurst property in Louisville, Kentucky, adjacent to our 600 North Hurstbourne property.  The building is being developed by our affiliate, NTS Development Company, with construction expected to be completed in late 2014 to early 2015. The building will be managed by an affiliate of NTS Development Company.  We are obligated to contribute approximately $2.6 million, for a 49% ownership interest.  We intend to fund our share of this investment with cash on hand, cash from operations or borrowing on new or existing debt.  At September 30, 2013, we had funded approximately $0.4 million of this commitment.  The joint venture has entered into a $16.5 million construction financing agreement with a bank.  We are a guarantor under this agreement and are proportionately liable for this obligation, limited to our 49% ownership interest.  The joint venture expects to invest a total of approximately $22.0 million in the construction of the building and completion of tenant space.

 

This joint venture, Campus Two, LLC, is a variable interest entity.  We are not the primary beneficiary.  NTS Corporation through its subsidiaries, NTS Development Company and NTS Management Company, holds the right to receive significant benefits through its agreement as developer and manager, respectively.  NTS Development Company is responsible for the development of the building on time and within budget.  The development fee for these services is 2% of the projected costs.  NTS Management Company is responsible for leasing and managing the building and is entitled to earn leasing commissions, management fees, construction supervision fees of 10%, asset management fees and a disposition fee for its services.  Our interest in this variable interest entity is accounted for using the equity method.  Our ownership interest is reflected as investments in and advances to joint ventures on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures requires companies to determine fair value based on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability to a market participant.  FASB ASC Topic 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

 

·                  Level 1:  Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                  Level 2:  Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

·                  Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

We did not have any material financial assets or liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

 

Financial Instruments

 

FASB ASC Topic 825 Financial Instruments requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in both interim and annual financial statements.

 

Certain of our assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments.  Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.

 

The book values of cash and equivalents, cash and equivalents - restricted, trade receivables and trade payables are considered representative of their respective fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

 

Deferred compensation plans: Our Officer and Director Plans as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflected liabilities of approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, the fair market value of 139,178 and 132,022 units, respectively, and are included in our other liabilities using Level 1 measurement. Compensation expense for the Officer and Director Plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled approximately ($290,000) and $236,000, respectively.  The income item resulted from a fluctuation in the fair market value of the respective units.

 

Mortgages and notes payable: As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we determined the estimated fair values of our mortgages and notes payable using Level 2 measurement were approximately $272.0 million and $293.1 million, respectively, by discounting expected future cash payments utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar instruments would be originated at the reporting date.

 

Note 2 — Going Private Proposal

 

On December 27, 2012, NTS Realty and NTS Realty Capital entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NTS Merger Parent, LLC (“Parent”), an entity controlled by our founder and Chairman, J.D. Nichols, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian F. Lavin, and NTS Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”, and together with Mr. Nichols, Mr. Lavin, Parent and certain of their respective affiliates, the “Purchasers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon consummation of the transactions proposed in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into NTS Realty and NTS Realty would continue as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

 

Also on December 27, 2012, we entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with the Purchasers in which they agreed to vote their limited partnership units in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger. As of the date hereof, the Purchasers collectively own of record limited partnership units representing approximately 59% of the aggregate voting power entitled to vote on approval of the Merger Agreement.

On October 18, 2013, the special committee of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital delivered notice (“Notice”) to Parent and Merger Sub informing Parent and Merger Sub that the special committee, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, had conducted a thorough review of their rights and options under the Merger Agreement.  Having completed this phase of its review and analysis, the special committee terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) thereof as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to close by September 30, 2013.  In making this decision, the special committee weighed numerous factors, including our improving financial performance during the nine months that passed since the execution of the Merger Agreement, and determined that, on balance, it was in the best interests of the unaffiliated holders of our limited partnership units to terminate the Merger Agreement at the time of the Notice.  The Notice further provided that notwithstanding the termination, the special committee continues to consider additional potential actions, and reserves all of its rights.

 

In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement has also terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

Note 3 — Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Note 4 — Real Estate Transactions

 

Acquisitions

 

FASB ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to measure the assets acquired, liabilities assumed (including contingencies) and any noncontrolling interests at their fair values on the acquisition date.  The statement also requires that acquisition-related transaction costs be expensed as incurred and acquired research and development value be capitalized.  In addition, acquisition-related restructuring costs are to be capitalized.

 

Upon acquisition of wholly-owned properties or joint venture investments that are less than wholly-owned, but which we control or for which we are the primary beneficiary, the assets and liabilities purchased are recorded at their fair market value at the date of the acquisition using the acquisition method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations.  We recognize the net tangible and identified intangible assets for each of the properties acquired based on fair values (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, acquired above and below market leases and the origination cost of acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities.  The intangible assets recorded are amortized over the weighted average lease lives.  We identify any above or below market leases or customer relationship intangibles that exist at the acquisition date.  We recognize mortgages and other liabilities at fair market value at the date of the acquisition.  We utilize an independent appraiser to assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections for the tangible assets acquired that utilize discount and capitalization rates deemed appropriate and available market information.  We expense acquisition costs as incurred.  Noncontrolling interests are recorded for the portion of the equity in a subsidiary not attributable to us.

 

FASB ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment specifies circumstances in which certain long-lived assets must be reviewed for impairment.  If this review indicates the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of its expected future cash flows, the asset’s carrying value must be written down to fair value.  In determining the value of an investment property and whether the investment property is impaired, management considers several factors such as projected rental and vacancy rates, property operating expenses, capital expenditures, interest rates and recent appraisals when available.  The capitalization rate used to determine property valuation is based on, among other factors, the market in which the investment property is located, length of leases, tenant financial strength, the economy in general, demographics, environment, property location, visibility, age and physical condition.  All of these factors are considered by management in determining the value of any particular investment property.  The value of any particular investment property is sensitive to the actual results of any of these factors, either individually or taken as a whole.  If the actual results differ from management’s judgment, the valuation could be negatively or positively affected.  Application of this standard for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, did not result in an impairment loss.

Table of Contents

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not acquire any properties.

 

Dispositions

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not dispose of any properties.

 

Note 5 — Concentration of Credit Risk

 

We own and operate through wholly-owned subsidiaries, as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties or through joint venture investments with both affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, multifamily, commercial and retail properties in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky; Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Florida; Indianapolis, Indiana; Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee; Richmond, Virginia; and Atlanta, Georgia.

 

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and equivalents and cash and equivalents - restricted.  We maintain our cash accounts primarily with banks located in Kentucky.

 

Note 6 — Cash and Equivalents

 

Cash and equivalents include cash on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.  We have a cash management program, which provides for the overnight investment of excess cash balances.  Under an agreement with a bank, excess cash is invested in a mutual fund for U.S. government and agency securities each night.

 

Note 7 — Cash and Equivalents - Restricted

 

Cash and equivalents - restricted represents cash on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less which have been escrowed with certain mortgage companies and banks for property taxes, insurance and tenant improvements in accordance with certain loan and lease agreements and certain security deposits.

 

Note 8 — Property and Depreciation

 

Land, buildings and amenities are stated at cost.  Costs directly associated with the acquisition, development and construction of a project are capitalized.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 5-30 years for land improvements, 7-30 years for buildings and improvements and 5-30 years for amenities.  Tenant improvements are generally depreciated over the life of the initial or renewal term of the respective tenant lease. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $3.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively.  Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $12.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

 

Note 9 Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

 

We own a joint venture interest in and operate the following properties:

 

·                  600 North Hurstbourne: Approximately 125,000 square foot office building in Louisville, Kentucky.  At September 30, 2013, we had funded approximately $5.3 million for our 49% ownership interest as a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party.

 

·                  700 North Hurstbourne: Office building under construction in Louisville, Kentucky.  We are obligated to contribute approximately $2.6 million, for a 49% ownership interest as a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party.  At September 30, 2013, we had funded approximately $0.4 million of this commitment.

Note 12 — Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Due to Affiliates

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses due to affiliates includes amounts owed to NTS Development Company and/or its affiliate, NTS Management Company, (collectively referred to as “NTS Development”), for reimbursement of salary and overhead expenses and fees for services rendered as provided for in our various management agreements.

 

Note 13 — Related Party Transactions

 

Pursuant to our various management agreements, NTS Development receives fees for a variety of services performed for our benefit.  NTS Development also receives fees under separate management agreements for each of our consolidated joint venture properties, our unconsolidated joint venture properties, our properties owned as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties and our properties owned by our eight wholly-owned subsidiaries financed through Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”).  Property management fees are paid in an amount equal to 5% of the gross collected revenue from our wholly-owned properties, consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture properties and properties owned by our eight wholly-owned subsidiaries financed through FHLMC.  Property management fees are paid in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross collected revenue from our unconsolidated properties owned as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties.  We are the beneficiary of a preferential ownership interest, disproportionately greater than our initial cash investment in each property owned as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party.  Construction supervision fees are generally paid in an amount equal to 5% of the costs incurred which relate to capital improvements and significant repairs.  NTS Development receives commercial leasing fees equal to 4% of the gross rental amount for new leases and 2% of the gross rental amount for new leases in which a broker is used and for renewals or extensions.  Disposition fees are paid to NTS Development in an amount of 1% to 4% of the aggregate sales price of a property pursuant to our management agreements and up to a 6% fee upon disposition on our properties owned as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties under separate management agreements.  NTS Development has agreed to accept a lower management fee for the properties we own as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party in exchange for a larger potential disposition fee.  NTS Development is reimbursed its actual costs for services rendered to NTS Realty.

 

Employee costs are allocated among NTS Realty, other affiliates of our managing general partner and for the benefit of third parties so that a full time employee can be shared by multiple entities.  Each employee’s services, which are dedicated to a particular entity’s operations, are allocated as a percentage of each employee’s costs to that entity.  We only reimburse charges from NTS Development for actual costs of employee services incurred for our benefit.  Many business enterprises employ individuals serving on their behalf and record their associated employment costs as salaries, employment taxes and benefits in their respective statements of operations.  The cost of services provided to us by NTS Development’s employees are classified in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates.

We were charged the following amounts pursuant to our various agreements with NTS Development for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  These charges include items which have been expensed as operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates or professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates and items that have been capitalized as other assets or as land, buildings and amenities.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

We, as an owner of real estate, are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments.  Our compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.  However, we cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on our current properties or on properties that we may acquire in the future.

 

We rely primarily on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for permanent financing on our properties.  There is significant uncertainty surrounding the futures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Should Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac have their mandates changed or reduced, be disbanded or reorganized by the government or otherwise discontinue providing liquidity to our sector, it would significantly reduce our access to debt capital and/or increase borrowing costs and would significantly reduce our sales of assets and/or the values realized upon sale.  Disruptions in the floating rate tax-exempt bond market (where interest rates reset weekly) and in the credit market’s perception of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee and provide liquidity for these bonds, have been experienced in the past and may be experienced in the future and could result in an increase in interest rates on these debt obligations.

 

Litigation

 

On January 27, 2013, we received notice that Dannis, Stephen, et al. v. Nichols, J.D., et al., Case No. 13-CI-00452, a putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on January 25, 2013 in Jefferson County Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Partners, LLC, Parent and Merger Sub alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. On March 14, 2013, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and added NTS Development Company and NTS Management Company as additional defendants. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger as contemplated by the terminated Merger Agreement. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On February 12, 2013, we received notice that R. Jay Tejera v. NTS Realty Holdings LP et al., Civil Action No. 8302-VCP, another putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on February 12, 2013 in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, Parent and NTS Realty Capital, alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. The complaint seeks, among other things, money damages. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On February 15, 2013, we received notice that Gerald A. Wells v. NTS Realty Holdings LP et al., Civil Action No. 8322-VCP, a third putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on February 15, 2013 in the Court

of Chancery of the State of Delaware against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, Parent, Merger Sub and NTS Realty Capital, alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. The complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger as contemplated by the terminated Merger Agreement. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On March 19, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated the Tejera and Wells complaints under the Tejera case number and the consolidated case caption of In Re NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation.  Then, on June 12, 2013, the Delaware Chancery Court granted a Stipulation and Order of Voluntary Dismissal as to Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera, dismissing the claims of Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera, without prejudice, from In Re NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation.  On June 13, 2013, we received notice that Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera joined with Plaintiffs Stephen and Sharon Dannis in filing a second amended complaint in the litigation pending in the Jefferson County Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  In the second amended complaint, the Dannises and Tejera purport to state claims for breach of fiduciary duty against us, each member of the board of directors, NTS Realty Capital and Parent.  This second amended complaint, like the amended complaint, seeks money damages.  We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

Counsel for R. Jay Tejera and Stephen and Sharon Dannis has also threatened to initiate unspecified claims against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Capital, Parent and Merger Sub in the event the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not consummated and additional consideration for the limited partnership units in excess of the price specified in the Merger Agreement is not paid.  No further action on that threat has occurred as of this date.

 

We do not believe there is any other litigation threatened against us other than routine litigation and other legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business.

 

Note 15 — Segment Reporting

 

Our reportable operating segments include multifamily, commercial and retail real estate operations.  The following unaudited financial information of the operating segments has been prepared using a management approach, which is consistent with the basis and manner in which our management internally disaggregates financial information for the purpose of assisting in making internal operating decisions.  We evaluate performance based on stand-alone operating segment net income (loss).  The non-segment information necessary to reconcile to our total operating results is included in the column labeled “Partnership” in the following information.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements in Item 1 and the cautionary statements below.

 

Going Private Proposal

 

On December 27, 2012, NTS Realty and NTS Realty Capital entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NTS Merger Parent, LLC (“Parent”), an entity controlled by our founder and Chairman, J.D. Nichols, and our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian F. Lavin, and NTS Merger Sub, LLC (“Merger Sub”, and together with Mr. Nichols, Mr. Lavin, Parent and certain of their respective affiliates, the “Purchasers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon consummation of the transactions proposed in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into NTS Realty and NTS Realty would continue as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

 

Also on December 27, 2012, we entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with the Purchasers in which they agreed to vote their limited partnership units in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the Merger. As of the date hereof, the Purchasers collectively own of record limited partnership units representing approximately 59% of the aggregate voting power entitled to vote on approval of the Merger Agreement.

 

On October 18, 2013, the special committee of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital delivered notice (“Notice”) to Parent and Merger Sub informing Parent and Merger Sub that the special committee, in consultation with its legal and financial advisors, had conducted a thorough review of their rights and options under the Merger Agreement.  Having completed this phase of its review and analysis, the special committee terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) thereof as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to close by September 30, 2013.  In making this decision, the special committee weighed numerous factors, including our improving financial performance during the nine months that passed since the execution of the Merger Agreement, and determined that, on balance, it was in the best interests of the unaffiliated holders of our limited partnership units to terminate the Merger Agreement at the time of the Notice.  The Notice further provided that notwithstanding the termination, the special committee continues to consider additional potential actions, and reserves all of its rights.

 

In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, the Support Agreement has also terminated pursuant to its terms.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

A critical accounting policy is one that would materially affect our operations or financial condition, and requires management to make estimates or judgments in certain circumstances.  These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.  Critical accounting policies discussed in this section are not to be confused with accounting principles and methods disclosed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires information in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and disclosures pertaining to significant estimates.  Our critical accounting policies, as previously disclosed in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013, discuss judgments known to management pertaining to trends, events or uncertainties which were taken into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into consideration different conditions and assumptions and remain unchanged during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of September 30, 2013, we owned wholly, as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties or through joint venture investments with both affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, 24 properties, comprised of 15 multifamily properties, 7 commercial properties and 2 retail properties.  We generate substantially all of our operating income from property operations.

Net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $2.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively.  The change in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in operating income across the multifamily segment, a $0.6 million decrease in deferred compensation expense, a $0.1 million increase in operating income across the commercial segment and a $0.1 million decrease in interest expense.  This was partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fees primarily related to the going private proposal of approximately $0.6 million. There were no other material offsetting changes in net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $3.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively.  The change in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $2.7 million increase in operating income across the multifamily segment, a $1.5 million increase in interest and other income across the multifamily segment primarily from a non-recurring settlement received for landscaping and tree damage and a $0.5 million decrease in deferred compensation expense.  In addition, there was a $1.5 million increase in income from investments in tenants in common primarily from a $0.8 million non-recurring settlement received for landscaping and tree damage and a $0.7 million increase in operating income across the tenants in common properties.  This was partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fees primarily related to the going private proposal of approximately $1.7 million.  There were no other material offsetting changes in net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

The following tables include certain selected summarized operating data for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.  This data should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes attached hereto.

We believe the changes in average and period end occupancy from period to period are temporary effects of each property’s specific mix of lease maturities and are not indicative of any known trend or uncertainty.

 

We have on-site leasing staff, who are employees of NTS Development Company, at each of the multifamily properties.  The staff handles all on-site visits from potential tenants, coordinates local advertising with NTS Development Company’s marketing staff, makes visits to local companies to promote fully furnished apartments and negotiates lease renewals with current residents.

 

The leasing and renewal negotiations for our commercial and retail properties are primarily handled by leasing agents that are employees of NTS Development Company.  All advertising for the commercial and retail properties is coordinated by NTS Development Company’s marketing staff located in Louisville, Kentucky.

 

The following discussion relating to changes in our results of operations includes only material line items within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations or line items for which there was a material change between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Rental Income and Tenant Reimbursements

 

Rental income and tenant reimbursements for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $15.0 million and $14.5 million, respectively.  Rental income and tenant reimbursements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $44.1 million and $42.9 million, respectively. The increase of $0.5 million, or 3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of a $0.4 million increase in rental income across the multifamily segment primarily related to an increase in the average monthly unit rental to $1,074 from $1,039 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The increase of $1.2 million, or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of a $1.4 million increase in rental income across the multifamily segment primarily related to an increase in the average monthly unit rental to $1,066 from $1,024 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in rental income and tenant reimbursements across the commercial segment.  There were no other material offsetting changes in rental income and tenant reimbursements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Operating Expenses and Operating Expenses Reimbursed to Affiliates

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $4.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively.  Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $10.8 million and $12.0 million, respectively.  The decrease of $0.1 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of a $0.1 million decrease in operating expenses across the multifamily segment primarily related to less repairs and maintenance expense.  The decrease of

Table of Contents

 

$1.2 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of a $1.1 million decrease in operating expenses across the multifamily segment primarily related to less repairs and maintenance expense and a $0.2 million decrease in operating expenses across the commercial segment primarily related to less repairs and maintenance expense.  There were no other material offsetting changes in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates for each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1.6 million. Operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $4.7 million. There were no material offsetting changes in operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

We do not have any employees.  Pursuant to our various management agreements, NTS Development employs the individuals who provide services necessary to operate our properties and conduct our business.  NTS Development provides employees that may also perform services for other properties and business enterprises.  In the situation where a particular employee benefits multiple operations, the employee’s cost is proportionately charged out to the entity receiving the services.  We only reimburse charges from NTS Development for actual costs of employee services incurred for our benefit.  Many business enterprises employ individuals serving on their behalf and record their associated employment costs as salaries, employment taxes and benefits in their respective statements of operations.  The cost of services provided to us by NTS Development’s employees are classified in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates.  The services provided by others are classified as operating expenses.

 

Operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates are for services performed by employees of NTS Development, an affiliate of our general partner.  These employee services include property management, leasing, maintenance, security and other services necessary to manage and operate our business.

 

Operating expenses reimbursed to affiliates consisted approximately of the following:

Management Fees

 

Management fees for three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  Management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $2.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.  The increase of $0.1 million, or 14%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of an increase in management fees across the multifamily segment primarily related to increased rental income.  The increase of $0.2 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of an increase in management fees across the multifamily segment primarily due to increased other income from a non-recurring settlement received for landscaping and tree damage.  There were no other material offsetting changes in management fees for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Pursuant to our various management agreements, NTS Development Company and/or its affiliate, NTS Management Company, (collectively referred to as “NTS Development”), receives property management fees equal to 5% of the gross collected revenue from our properties.  This includes our wholly-owned properties, our consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture properties and properties owned by our eight wholly-owned subsidiaries financed through FHLMC.  NTS Development receives property management fees from our unconsolidated properties owned as a tenant in common with unaffiliated third parties equal to 3.5% of their gross collected revenue under separate management agreements.  We are the beneficiary of a preferential ownership interest, disproportionately greater than our initial cash investment in each property owned as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party.  NTS Development has agreed to accept a lower management fee for the properties

we own as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party in exchange for a larger potential disposition fee.  Disposition fees of up to 6% of the gross sales price may be paid to NTS Development for the sale of one of our properties owned as a tenant in common with an unaffiliated third party.  Management fees are calculated as a percentage of cash collections and are recorded on the accrual basis.  As a result, the fluctuations in revenue between years will differ from the fluctuations of management fee expense.

 

Property Taxes and Insurance

 

Property taxes and insurance for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively.  Property taxes and insurance for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $6.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively.  The increase of $0.3 million, or 17%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of a $0.2 million increase in property taxes and insurance across the multifamily segment.  The increase of $0.6 million, or 11%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of increases of $0.5 million and $0.1 million in property taxes and insurance across the multifamily and commercial segments, respectively.  There were no other material offsetting changes in property taxes and insurance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Professional and Administrative Expenses and Professional and Administrative Expenses Reimbursed to Affiliates

 

Professional and administrative expenses for each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $0.5 million.  Professional and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $2.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.  The increase of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily the result of increased legal and professional fees primarily due to the going private proposal, which was partially offset by decreased deferred compensation expense due to decreased unit prices in 2013.  There were no other material offsetting changes in professional and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates for each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $0.5 million. Professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1.4 million. There were no material offsetting changes in professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

We do not have any employees.  Pursuant to our various management agreements, NTS Development employs the individuals who provide services necessary to operate our properties and conduct our business.  NTS Development provides employees that may also perform services for other properties and business enterprises.  In the situation where a particular employee benefits multiple operations, the employee’s cost is proportionately charged out to the entity receiving the services.  We only reimburse charges from NTS Development for actual costs of employee services incurred for our benefit.  Many business enterprises employ individuals serving on their behalf and record their associated employment costs as salaries, employment taxes and benefits in their respective statements of operations.  The cost of services provided to us by NTS Development’s employees are classified in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as professional and administrative expenses reimbursed to affiliates.  The services provided by others are classified as professional and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $3.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively.  Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $12.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively.  The decrease of $0.6 million, or 13%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.5 million spread across the multifamily segment.  The decrease of $1.1 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.0 million spread across the multifamily segment.  There were no other material offsetting changes in depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Interest and Other Income

 

Interest and other income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $11,000 and $14,000, respectively.  Interest and other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $1.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively.  The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was primarily due to an approximately $1.6 million non-recurring settlement received for landscaping and tree damage. There were no other material offsetting changes in interest and other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $10.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively.  The decreases of $0.1 million, or 3%, and $0.2 million, or 2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense across the multifamily segment.  There were no other material offsetting changes in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Loss on Disposal of Assets

 

The loss on disposal of assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 can be attributed to assets that were not fully depreciated at the time of replacement primarily across the multifamily and commercial segments.

 

Loss from Investments in Joint Ventures

 

Loss from investments in joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes net operating losses attributable to our investments in joint ventures with an unaffiliated third party.  The properties are 600 North Hurstbourne and 700 North Hurstbourne. We anticipate construction on 700 North Hurstbourne to be completed in late 2014 to early 2015. There were no other material offsetting changes in loss from investments in joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

(Loss) Income from Investments in Tenants in Common

 

(Loss) income from investments in tenants in common for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 includes net operating (losses) income attributable to our investments in tenants in common with an unaffiliated third party.  The properties are The Overlook at St. Thomas Apartments and Creek’s Edge at Stony Point Apartments.  Loss from investments in tenants in common for each of the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.4 million.  Income from investments in tenants in common for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was approximately $0.1 million, and loss from investments in tenants in common for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $1.4 million.  The change in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to a $0.8 million non-recurring settlement received for landscaping and tree damage and a $0.7 million increase in operating income.  There were no other material offsetting changes in (loss) income from investments in tenants in common for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

The continuing net losses of The Overlook at St. Thomas Apartments reduced our investment to zero.  Subsequent to our investment being reduced to zero, we recognized losses in excess of our investments and recorded the resulting liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The continuing net losses of Creek’s Edge at Stony Point Apartments reduced our investment to zero at December 31, 2012.  Subsequent to our investment being reduced to zero, we recognized losses in excess of our investments and recorded the resulting liability on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we made a capital contribution to Creek’s Edge at Stony Point Apartments and recorded the resulting asset on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our most liquid asset is our cash and equivalents, which consist of cash and short-term investments, but do not include any restricted cash.  Operating income generated by the properties is the primary source from which we generate cash.  Other sources of cash include the proceeds from our mortgage loans and revolving note payable.  Our main uses of cash relate to capital expenditures, required payments of mortgages and notes payable, distributions and property taxes.

 

The components of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are outlined below:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.6 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The change of approximately $2.1 million was primarily due to increased cash provided by results of operations of approximately $2.3 million, decreased cash - restricted of approximately $1.0 million and decreased accounts receivable of approximately $0.3 million, which was partially offset by decreased cash provided by other assets of approximately $1.2 million primarily for a payment received on a note receivable in 2012 without a similar payment in 2013 and increased cash used to satisfy accounts payable and accounts payable due to affiliates of approximately $0.6 million.  The remaining increases and decreases in cash were individually immaterial.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $2.6 million and $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The change of approximately $2.4 million was primarily due to decreased cash used to invest in our joint ventures with an unaffiliated third party of approximately $2.0 million and

 

30



Table of Contents

 

decreased cash used for additions to land, buildings and amenities of approximately $0.9 million.  This change was partially offset by increased cash contributed to our tenants in common investments of approximately $0.6 million.   The remaining increases and decreases in cash were individually immaterial.

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $5.0 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The change of approximately $3.8 million was primarily due to increased cash used to repay our revolving note payable, net of receipts, of approximately $3.4 million in 2013 and cash provided by our revolving note payable, net of receipts, of approximately $3.6 million in 2012.  This was partially offset by a distribution received from our unaffiliated third party joint ventures of approximately $3.4 million in 2013 without a similar distribution in 2012.  The remaining increases and decreases in cash were individually immaterial.

 

Future Liquidity

 

Our future liquidity depends significantly on our properties’ occupancy remaining at a level which allows us to make debt payments and have adequate working capital, currently and in the future.  If occupancy were to fall below that level and remain at or below that level for a significant period of time, our ability to make payments due under our debt agreements and to continue paying daily operational costs would be materially impaired.  In the next twelve months, we intend to operate the properties in a similar manner to their operation in recent years.  Cash reserves, which consist of unrestricted cash as shown on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, were approximately $2.2 million as of September 30, 2013.

 

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements for normal operating expenses from cash generated by operations.  In addition, we anticipate generating proceeds from borrowing activities, property sales and/or equity offerings to provide funds for payment of certain debts and obligations.  We expect to incur capital costs related to leasing space and making improvements to properties and expect to meet these obligations with the use of funds held in escrow by lenders, proceeds from property sales and/or borrowing activities.

 

We have approximately $24.8 million of consolidated and unconsolidated secured debt maturing during the next 12 months.  We intend to seek a renewal of our expiring $10.0 million revolving note payable to a bank that matures in the next twelve months, but can offer no assurance that we will be successful in doing so, or that favorable terms of renewal can be obtained.  As of September 30, 2013, our availability to draw on our revolving note payable was approximately $5.1 million.  The result of higher interest rates would have a negative impact on our results of operations and ability to pay distributions.  Further, as part of any refinancing, we may be required to pledge additional assets as collateral and may not be able to achieve the same loan to value ratios on our secured indebtedness.  If we are unable to refinance this debt for any reason, we must either pay the remaining balance or borrow additional money to pay off the maturing loan.  We may not, however, be able to obtain a new loan, or the terms of the new loan, such as the interest rate or payment schedule, may not be as favorable as the terms of the maturing loan.  Additionally, due to the amount of available cash on hand, expected cash generated by operating activities and funds available to us from existing sources of borrowings, there can be no assurance as to our ability to obtain funds necessary to repay the amounts due during the next 12 months.  Thus, we may be forced to sell a property at an unfavorable price to pay off the maturing loan or agree to less favorable loan terms.

 

On March 13, 2013, we announced that the board of directors of our managing general partner approved a quarterly distribution of $0.05 per unit on our limited partnership units.  The distribution was paid on April 12, 2013, to limited partners of record at the close of business on March 28, 2013.

 

On June 11, 2013, we announced that the board of directors of our managing general partner approved a quarterly distribution of $0.05 per unit on our limited partnership units.  The distribution was paid on July 12, 2013, to limited partners of record at the close of business on June 28, 2013.

 

On September 10, 2013, we announced that the board of directors of our managing general partner approved a quarterly distribution of $0.05 per unit on our limited partnership units.  The distribution was paid on October 11, 2013, to limited partners of record at the close of business on September 30, 2013.

 

We pay distributions, if and when authorized by our managing general partner, using proceeds from advances drawn on our revolving note payable to a bank.  We have a revolving note payable that is used as a source

of operating working capital.  Each time we have previously paid a distribution, the funds were drawn from our revolving note payable.

 

Pursuant to leasing agreements signed by September 30, 2013, we are obligated to incur expenditures of approximately $0.1 million on our wholly-owned properties funded by borrowings on our debt during the next twelve months, primarily for renovations and tenant origination costs necessary to continue leasing our properties. We are obligated to incur expenditures of approximately $0.2 million on our unconsolidated joint venture properties pursuant to our 49% ownership interest funded by borrowings on our debt during the next twelve months, primarily for renovations and tenant origination costs necessary to continue leasing our properties. We expect to fund these expenditures with cash on hand, cash from operations or borrowings on new or existing debt during the next twelve months. This discussion of future liquidity details our material commitments.  We anticipate repaying, seeking renewal of or refinancing of our revolving note payable coming due in the next twelve months.

 

As of October 31, 2012, we entered into a joint venture investment agreement with an unaffiliated third party to invest in a commercial office building totaling approximately 125,000 square feet at 700 North Hurstbourne Parkway on the ShelbyHurst property in Louisville, Kentucky, adjacent to our 600 North Hurstbourne property.  The building is being developed by our affiliate, NTS Development Company, with construction expected to be completed in late 2014 to early 2015.  The building will be managed by an affiliate of NTS Development Company.  We are obligated to contribute approximately $2.6 million, for a 49% ownership interest.  We intend to fund our share of this investment with cash on hand, cash from operations or borrowing on new or existing debt.  At September 30, 2013, we had funded approximately $0.4 million of this commitment.  The joint venture has entered into a $16.5 million construction financing agreement with a bank.  We are a guarantor under this agreement and are proportionately liable for this obligation, limited to our 49% ownership interest.  The joint venture expects to invest a total of approximately $22.0 million in the construction of the building and completion of tenant space.

 

Property Transactions

 

Acquisitions

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not acquire any operating properties.

 

Dispositions

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not dispose of any operating properties.

 

We may engage in transactions structured as “like-kind exchanges” of property to obtain favorable tax treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  If we are able to structure an exchange of properties as a “like-kind exchange,” then any gain we realize from the exchange would not be recognized for federal income tax purposes.  The test for determining whether exchanged properties are of “like-kind” is whether the properties are of the same nature or character.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

(1)         We are party to numerous small operating leases for office equipment such as copiers, postage machines and fax machines, which represent an insignificant obligation.

Website Information

 

Information concerning NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership is available through the NTS Development Company website (www.ntsdevelopment.com).  Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act are available and may be accessed free of charge through the “Investor Services” section of our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file this material with, or furnish it to, the SEC.  Our website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is expected to be our exposure to changes in interest rates.  We have refinanced substantially all of our debt with instruments which bear interest at a fixed rate, with the exception of approximately $48.0 million at variable rates.  We anticipate that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase interest expense on our variable rate debt by approximately $0.5 million annually.  The average variable interest rate at September 30, 2013 was 3.4%.

 

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated as of September 30, 2013, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2013, were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

 

On January 27, 2013, we received notice that Dannis, Stephen, et al. v. Nichols, J.D., et al., Case No. 13-CI-00452, a putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on January 25, 2013 in Jefferson County Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Partners, LLC, Parent and Merger Sub alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. On March 14, 2013, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and added NTS Development Company and NTS Management Company as additional defendants. The amended complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger as contemplated by the terminated Merger Agreement. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On February 12, 2013, we received notice that R. Jay Tejera v. NTS Realty Holdings LP et al., Civil Action No. 8302-VCP, another putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on February 12, 2013 in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, Parent and NTS Realty Capital, alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. The complaint seeks, among other things, money damages. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On February 15, 2013, we received notice that Gerald A. Wells v. NTS Realty Holdings LP et al., Civil Action No. 8322-VCP, a third putative unitholder class action lawsuit, was filed on February 15, 2013 in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, Parent, Merger Sub and NTS Realty Capital, alleging, among other things, that the board of directors breached their fiduciary duties to our unitholders in connection with the board’s approval of the Merger between Merger Sub and NTS Realty. The complaint seeks, among other things, to enjoin the defendants from completing the Merger as contemplated by the terminated Merger Agreement. We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

On March 19, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery consolidated the Tejera and Wells complaints under the Tejera case number and the consolidated case caption of In Re NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation. Then, on June 12, 2013, the Delaware Chancery Court granted a Stipulation and Order of Voluntary Dismissal as to Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera, dismissing the claims of Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera, without prejudice, from In Re NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Unitholders Litigation.  On June 13, 2013, we received notice that Plaintiff R. Jay Tejera joined with Plaintiffs Stephen and Sharon Dannis in filing a second amended complaint in the litigation pending in the Jefferson County Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  In the second amended complaint, the Dannises and Tejera purport to state claims for breach of fiduciary duty against us, each member of the board of directors, NTS Realty Capital and Parent.  This second amended complaint, like the amended complaint, seeks money damages.  We believe these allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against them.

 

Counsel for R. Jay Tejera and Stephen and Sharon Dannis has also threatened to initiate unspecified claims against us, each of the members of the board of directors of NTS Realty Capital, NTS Realty Capital, Parent and Merger Sub in the event the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not consummated and additional consideration for the limited partnership units in excess of the price specified in the Merger Agreement is not paid.  No further action on that threat has occurred as of this date.

 

We do not believe there is any other litigation threatened against us other than routine litigation and other legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

 

Our principal unit holders may effectively exercise control over matters requiring unit holder approval.

 

As of September 30, 2013, Mr. J.D. Nichols beneficially owned approximately 61.7% of the outstanding NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Units.  Mr. Nichols effectively has the power to elect all of the directors and control the management, operations and affairs of NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership.  His ownership may discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership, even if we needed the investment to operate our business.  His holdings could be a significant factor in delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that other limited partners may deem to be in their best interests, such as a transaction in which the other limited partners would receive a premium for their units over their current trading prices.
