Mark 302 JV

On March 20, 2018, the Company contributed its property located in Santa Monica, CA to the Mark 302 JV and sold a 49.9% interest to an investment fund managed by Invesco Real Estate based on a contribution value of $90.0 million (the “Initial Mark 302 Contribution Value”) and pre-transaction development and other costs of approximately $10.4 million.  As a result of the transaction, the Company received cash of approximately $50.1 million and recorded a gain of $38.8 million (the “Initial Mark 302 Gain”) which is included in gain on sale of real estate within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Initial Mark 302 Gain is comprised of $19.4 million attributable to the increase in fair value of the retained 50.1% interest due to application of the ASU 2017-05, while the remaining $19.4 million is the gain on sale of the remaining 49.9% interest.

The Mark 302 JV is subject to a revaluation upon the earlier of the first anniversary of project stabilization (as defined in the operating agreement of the Mark 302 JV) or December 31, 2020. Upon revaluation, the primary inputs in determining the Initial Mark 302 Contribution Value, which consist of property operating income and total project costs, will be updated for actual results and a value (the “Final Mark 302 Contribution Value”) will be calculated to yield a pre-determined rate of return to the investment fund managed by Invesco Real Estate.  The Final Mark 302 Contribution Value cannot be more than $105.0 million or less than $60.0 million and will result in a cash settlement between the two parties.

The Company recorded the Initial Mark 302 Gain based on the Initial Mark 302 Contribution Value because it determined it to be the expected amount in the range of possible amounts. The Company made this determination based on its analysis of the primary inputs that determine both the Initial Mark 302 Contribution Value and Final Mark 302 Contribution Value, which consist of property operating income and total project costs. The gain on sale of real estate based on the Final Mark 302 Contribution Value (the “Final Mark 302 Gain”) will not be more than $53.8 million or less than $8.8 million.

Each reporting period the Company re-analyzes the primary inputs that determine the Final Mark 302 Contribution Value and Final Mark 302 Gain.   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no adjustments to the Initial Mark 302 Contribution Value or the Initial Mark 302 Gain resulting from such analysis.

West Hartford JV

On May 18, 2018, the Company contributed its property located in West Hartford, CT to the West Hartford JV and sold a 50.0% interest to First Washington Realty based on a contribution value of $25.0 million (the “Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value”) and pre-transaction development and other costs of approximately $20.2 million.  As a result of the transaction, the Company received cash of approximately $22.6 million and recorded a gain of $1.2 million (the “Initial West Hartford JV Gain”) which is included in gain on sale of real estate within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Initial West Hartford JV Gain is comprised of $0.6 million attributable to the increase in fair value of the retained 50.0% interest due to application of the ASU 2017-05, while the remaining $0.6 million is the gain on sale of the remaining 50.0% interest.

The West Hartford JV is subject to (i) a revaluation upon the earlier of the first anniversary of project stabilization (as defined in the operating agreement of the West Hartford JV) or December 31, 2019, and (ii) an adjustment based on the timing, method and magnitude of the reassessment of the property for real estate tax purposes between 2018 and 2022.  Upon revaluation, the primary inputs in determining the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value, which consist of property operating income and total project costs, will be updated for actual results and a value (the “Final West Hartford JV Contribution Value”) will be calculated to yield a pre-determined rate of return to First Washington Realty.  The Final West Hartford JV Contribution Value cannot be more than $29.6 million or less than $20.4 million.  Upon adjustment for real estate tax purposes, an amount based on the difference between actual real estate taxes and tenant recoveries for such real estate taxes will be determined and the capitalized value of such amount will be applied as an adjustment to the transaction price (the “Real Estate Tax Adjustment Amount”).  The Real Estate Tax Adjustment Amount, and the aggregate transaction price adjustment resulting from (i) the difference between the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value and the Final West Hartford JV Contribution Value, and (ii) the Real Estate Tax Adjustment Amount, cannot exceed $4.6 million and will result in a cash settlement between the two parties.

The Company recorded the Initial West Hartford JV Gain based on the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value because it determined it to be the expected amount in the range of possible amounts. The Company made this determination based on its analysis of the primary inputs that determine both the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value and Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value, which consist of property operating income, including the difference between actual real estate taxes and tenant recoveries for such real estate taxes, and total project costs. The gain or loss on sale of real estate based on the Final West Hartford JV Contribution Value (the “Final West Hartford JV Gain”) will not be more than a $5.8 million gain or more than a $3.4 million loss.

Each reporting period the Company re-analyzes the primary inputs that determine the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value and Initial West Hartford JV Gain.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no adjustments to the Initial West Hartford JV Contribution Value or the Initial West Hartford JV Gain resulting from such analysis.

Cockeysville JV

On March 29, 2019, the Company contributed its property located in Cockeysville, MD to the Cockeysville JV and sold a 50.0% interest to an affiliate of the owner of the adjacent shopping center based on a contribution value of $12.5 million and pre-transaction development and other costs of approximately $6.2 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company received cash of approximately $9.3 million and recorded a gain of $3.8 million which is included in gain on sale of real estate within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The gain is comprised of $1.9 million attributable to the increase in fair value of the retained 50.0% interest due to application of the ASU 2017-05, while the remaining $1.9 million is the gain on sale of the remaining 50.0% interest.

Each unconsolidated joint venture is obligated to maintain financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  The Company shares in the profits and losses of these unconsolidated joint ventures generally in accordance with the Company’s respective equity interests.  In some instances, the Company may recognize profits and losses related to investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that differ from the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture.  This may arise from impairments that the Company recognizes related to its investment that differ from the impairments the unconsolidated joint venture recognizes with respect to its assets, differences between the Company’s basis in assets it has transferred to the unconsolidated joint venture and the unconsolidated joint venture’s basis in those assets or other items.  There were no joint venture impairment charges for the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

The Company acts as the operating partner and day-to-day manager for the Mark 302 JV, the West Hartford JV, and the UTC JV.  The Company is entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, and construction supervision services to these joint ventures. The Company earned $1.8 million and $914 thousand from these services for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and $2.1 million and $914 thousand from these services for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
