The Company owns a 40% interest in a former Sports Authority store in Wichita, Kansas. On March 2, 2016, the tenant, TSA Stores, Inc., and its parent company, The Sports Authority, Inc., the guarantor of the lease, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. In June 2016, the tenant filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to reject the lease for this store effective June 30, 2016, at which time the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. As of June 30, 2020, the tenant owed $19,366 of past due rent, which was not accrued for financial reporting purposes. The owners listed the property for lease with a real estate broker in the Wichita area. While the property was vacant, the Company was responsible for its 40% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property.

On September 21, 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with Biomat USA, Inc. (“Biomat”) as a replacement tenant for 28% of the square footage of the property. The tenant operates a Biomat USA Plasma Center in the space. The Company’s 40% share of annual rent, which commenced on June 18, 2018, is $37,071. Biomat agreed to pay for the costs to divide the building into two separate spaces, the costs of tenant improvements to remodel the Biomat space and 28% of the cost to replace the roof.

On August 27, 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a primary term of 10 years with BigTime Fun Center, LLC as a replacement tenant for 57% of the square footage of the property. The tenant will operate an indoor sports entertainment center in the space. The Company’s 40% share of annual rent, which commenced on February 23, 2020, is $78,000. As part of the agreement, the Company will pay a tenant improvement allowance of $64,000 when certain conditions are met by the tenant. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company agreed to extend the rent commencement date to June 1, 2020. As part of the agreement, the tenant agreed to convert the tenant improvement allowance to a ten month rent abatement. In September 2019, the Company paid $32,760 to a real estate broker for its 40% share of the lease commission due as part of the lease transaction. This amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the lease.

The Company owned a 27% interest in a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The remaining interests in the property were owned by three affiliates of the Company. On January 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property was vacant, the Company was responsible for its 27% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property. The owners listed the property for lease with a real estate broker in the Fredericksburg area. The annual rent from this property represented approximately 24% of the total annual rent of the Company’s property portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property decreased the Company’s cash flow. Consequently, beginning with the first quarter of 2019, the Company reduced its regular quarterly cash distribution rate from $0.0949 per Unit to $0.0527 per Unit.

Based on its long-lived asset valuation analysis, the Company determined the former Dick’s Sporting Goods store was impaired. As a result, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company recognized real estate impairment of $611,623 to decrease the carrying value to the estimated fair value of $972,000. The charge was recorded against the cost of the land and building.

In December 2018, the Company decided to sell the Applebee’s restaurant in Crawfordsville, Indiana. In January 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the property to an unrelated third party. On April 8, 2019, the sale closed with the Company receiving net proceeds of $1,242,457, which resulted in a net gain of $436,887. At the time of sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation was $1,237,771 and $432,201, respectively.

On June 6, 2019, the Company purchased an additional 16% joint-venture interest in the Best Buy store in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for $1,009,850 from AEI Income & Growth Fund 23 LLC (“Fund 23”), an affiliate of the Company. The purchase price of the property interest was based upon the property’s fair market value as determined by an independent, third-party, commercial property appraiser. The property interest became available because Fund 23 is in the process of liquidating its property portfolio. The Company now owns a 46% interest in the Best Buy property. The Company allocated $69,074 of the purchase price to Acquired Intangible Lease Assets, representing in-place lease intangibles. The annual rent for the additional 16% interest that was purchased is $83,627.

The Company owns a 55% interest in an Advance Auto Parts store in Middletown, Ohio. The remaining interest in the property is owned by an affiliate of the Company. On July 31, 2019, the lease term ended, and the tenant returned possession of the property to the owners. While the property is vacant, the Company is responsible for its 55% share of real estate taxes and other costs associated with maintaining the property. The owners have listed the property for sale or lease with a real estate broker in the Middletown area. The annual rent from this property represented approximately 11% of the total annual rent of the Company’s property portfolio. The loss of rent and increased expenses related to this property will decrease the Company’s cash flow.
