Item 1. Business

 

General

 

Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references in this offering circular to “us,” “we,” “our” or “our Company” refer to GK Investment Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

 

We are focused on acquiring and lending on existing income producing commercial rental properties for the purpose of financing, developing, holding and operating the acquired such properties, and if the need arises, to redevelop the rental properties for an alternative use other than the intended use at the time of acquisition. We expect that most of the acquired assets will be held through wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries and the assets will be acquired by assuming either existing financing secured by the asset or by borrowing new funds.

 

We filed an offering statement on Form 1-A, or the Offering Statement, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on December 23, 2015, which offering statement was qualified by the SEC on September 30, 2016. On September 29, 2017 we filed the First Post-Qualification Amendment to the Offering Statement extending the offering termination date to September 30, 2018 and updated certain other information. The Offering Statement was subsequently requalified by the SEC on October 30, 2017. On September 28, 2018 we filed the Second Post-Qualification Amendment to the Offering Statement extending the offering termination date to September 30, 2019 and updated certain other information. The Offering Statement was subsequently requalified by the SEC on October 19, 2018. Pursuant to the Offering Statement and its subsequent amendments, we offered up to a maximum of $50,000,000 of 7% unsecured bonds, or the Bonds. The purchase price per Bond was $1,000, with a minimum purchase amount of $5,000. The Bonds were offered at a 3-5% volume-weighted discount to the public price for purchases of 20 Bonds or greater. On April 30, 2019, we terminated the offering and as of the date of termination, we had sold $33,421,000 of Bonds.

 

On September 15, 2022, but effective September 7, 2022, GK Investment Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”) entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated September 7, 2022 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Second Supplemental Indenture amended certain provisions of the Indenture, dated September 30, 2016 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated October 17, 2016 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Original Indenture and Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and the Trustee. The Second Supplemental Indenture by and between the Company and the Trustee created and authorized for issuance under the Indenture 7%/7.5% Series B Senior Unsecured Bonds due September 30, 2025 (the “New Bonds”) which were subsequently issued following an exchange offer in which holders of the Company’s 7% Series A Senior Unsecured Bonds due September 30, 2022 (the “Old Bonds”) were offered New Bonds in exchange for their Old Bonds, on a one-for-one basis, in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Exchange Offer”). The Second Supplemental Indenture also adjusted the definition of “Equity-Bond Ratio” to include cash and cash equivalents in the calculation of such ratio. The Second Supplemental Indenture required the consent and approval of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Old Bonds, which consent the Company sought and received concurrently with the solicitation of the Exchange Offer.

Based on real estate market conditions, including rising interest rates and lingering effects of the pandemic regarding the market demand for retail real estate properties, the Company was unable to find a buyer for the real estate assets it held in time to pay back the Old Bonds set to mature on September 30, 2022 (the “Old Bond Maturity Date”). The Company decided it would be prudent to maintain the real estate assets it held and work to increase their value so that they would be more desirable to a potential buyer. Therefore, the Company undertook the aforementioned Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer commenced on March 30, 2022, and ultimately required the consent and approval of holders of at least 75% of the outstanding Old Bonds. Holders of approximately 80.10% of the outstanding Old Bonds elected to participate in and approve the Exchange Offer and consented to the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Exchange Offer closed on September 15, 2022.

 

Each exchanging holder of Old Bonds received a number of New Bonds equal to the number of Old Bonds being exchanged, on a one-for-one basis. The Old Bonds exchanged were canceled as of September 15, 2022. The remaining approximately 20% of Bonds which were not exchanged were paid in full at maturity on September 30, 2022. The funds for the maturity payment were generated from available cash flow from i) a principal reduction and deferred interest payment on the Ridgmar note, and ii) available cash flow from the rental properties from sales as discussed below and from operating cash flow.

 

As of December 31, 2023 we had $26,201,550 of the New Bonds outstanding.

 

We are managed by GK Development, Inc., d/b/a GK Real Estate (referred to herein as “GK Real Estate”), a real estate acquisition, development and management company located in Barrington, Illinois, formed in 1994. We benefit from GK Real Estate’s real estate operating and leasing skills, including releasing, redeveloping, renovating, refinancing, repositioning, and selling. As of December 31, 2023, we owned two real properties, had an outstanding loan receivable to an affiliate for $690,850, and had an investment in a self-storage facility of $1,380,848 as described below, and had an investment in land held for development.

 

Lake Mead Crossing

 

On November 12, 2015, we acquired, through wholly owned subsidiaries, a commercial rental property located in Henderson, Nevada, known as Lake Mead Crossing, for a total purchase price of $42,065,000, excluding prorations. Upon acquisition, Lake Mead Crossing consisted of multiple buildings aggregating approximately 220,000 square feet of rentable commercial space. Lake Mead Crossing is part of a larger shopping center shadow anchored by a Target consisting of approximately 152,000 square feet. Lake Mead Crossing is owned by two of our subsidiaries, Lake Mead Partners, LLC, or LM Partners, and Lake Mead Development, LLC, or LM Development. Lake Mead Parent, LLC, or LM Parent, which is our wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole member of LM Partners.

Upon acquisition, LM Development owned the other portion of Lake Mead Crossing consisting of approximately 60,000 square feet of rentable commercial space.

Ridgmar Loan

 

The Company has entered into a senior secured participatory mortgage loan (the "Ridgmar Loan") effective July 30, 2021, in favor of GK Preferred Income II (Ridgmar), LLC ("GKPI II") and 1551 Kingsbury Partners SPE, LLC ("Kingsbury" and, together with GKPI II, the "Ridgmar Borrowers"). The Company and the Ridgmar Borrowers are affiliates of one another, and the Ridgmar Loan is a related party transaction. GK Development, Inc. ("GK Real Estate") is the manager of the Company and the Borrowers. The Manager is the sole director and shareholder of GK Real Estate and effectively manages the Company and the Borrowers. The Manager has a direct and material interest in the transaction described above.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Ridgmar Loan, the Company initially advanced $3,700,000 to the Ridgmar Borrowers for a term of three (3) months, originally maturing on October 31, 2021. The Ridgmar Loan is collateralized by a senior security interest on the rental property, Ridgmar Mall. On October 15, 2021, the Company was repaid $200,000 from the Ridgmar Borrowers and simultaneously extended the maturity of the Note until November 30, 2021. On December 1, 2021, the Company was repaid $2,500,000 from the Ridgmar Borrowers decreasing the balance of the Note to $1,000,000 and extended the maturity of the Note until December 31, 2021. The note bore interest at 20% per annum, payable 12% monthly and 8% deferred and due upon maturity of the note.

 

Concurrently with the Loan, GK Investment Property Holdings II, LLC (“GKIPH”) and GK Secured Income V, LLC (“GKSI V”) collectively loaned $4,250,000 subsequently increased to $6,850,000, to Ridgmar on terms substantially similar to the terms of the Ridgmar Loan for an aggregate loan amount of $7,950,000 (the “Aggregate Ridgmar Loan”). On July 30, 2021, the Company entered into an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), dated as of July 30, 2021, by and among the Company, GKIPH and GKSI V (collectively, “the Lenders”) in order to establish and acknowledge the pari passu ranking of the Lenders’ respective loans to Ridgmar and certain other matters. Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Lenders acknowledge that the security interest held by each of the Lenders ranks equally and ratably without priority over one another and that any and all payments under the respective loans as between all Lenders will be paid equally and ratably. The Intercreditor Agreement has been subsequently amended to reflect the changes in the Ridgmar Loan.

 

Ridgmar acquired Ridgmar Mall as tenants in common in 2013. As a result of the continued decline of retail sales and consumer traffic at regional malls, the value of Ridgmar Mall was subsequently impaired, and ultimately the Ridgmar’s senior secured lender and mezzanine lender (together, the “Prior Lenders”) foreclosed on the property. The Prior Lenders offered Ridgmar a discounted payoff of $7,950,000 to retire the existing debt on Ridgmar Mall, comprised of a $26,600,000 CMBS mortgage loan and a $10,000,000 mezzanine loan. On July 30, 2021, Ridgmar used the proceeds of the Aggregate Loan to fund the discounted payoff paid to the Prior Lenders. Ridgmar intends to repay the Ridgmar Loan and corresponding GKIPH and GKSI V loans with proceeds of a future land and building sale.

 

The Company, Ridgmar, GKIPH and GKSI V are each affiliates of one another, and the Loan and each of the GKIH and GKSI V loans are related party transactions. GK Development, Inc. (“GK Real Estate”) is the manager of each of the Company, Ridgmar, GKIPH and GKSI V. Mr. Kholamian is the sole director and shareholder of GK Real Estate and effectively manages the Company, Ridgmar, GKIPH and GKSI V. GK Real Estate has a direct and material interest in the transactions described above.

 

In the case of any event of default under the Loan, the Company will be entitled to an additional five percent (5%) interest on the Loan until such event of default is cured. The Loan is secured by a first priority lien on Ridgmar’s commercial property, the Ridgmar regional mall (“Ridgmar Mall”) located in Ft. Worth, Texas.

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company increased the outstanding principal balance of Note by $100,000 and further extended the maturity of the Note until September 30, 2022. The interest rate was reduced to 8% per annum, with principal being repaid based on a 25-year amortization rate.

On September 28, 2022, Ridgmar paid $390,610 of the principal balance of the Note along with $106,756 of deferred interest and simultaneously extended the maturity of the Note until December 31, 2023.

 

On December 31, 2023, the Ridgmar Borrowers extended the maturity date of the note to December 31, 2024.

 

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 is $67,549, which includes $5,712 of interest receivable as of December 31, 2023.

 

Lake Mead Self-Storage Loan

 

The Lake Mead Self-Storage Note (the “Note 2”) was entered into effective April 6, 2022, in favor of Lake Mead Self-Storage, ( the “Borrower”). Pursuant to the terms of the unsecured Note, the Company initially advanced $254,393 to the Borrower for a term of approximately three years and five months, maturing on September 30, 2025. The Borrower can draw up to $1,950,000 in total loan proceeds during the term. The Borrower drew another $1,503,557 for the total amount drawn and due to the Company of $1,757,950.

 

The Note bore interest at 8% per annum, payable as 8% deferred and due upon a prepayment of principal or at maturity of the Note.

 

 In the case of any event of default under the Loan, the Company will be entitled to an additional five percent (5%) interest on the Loan until such event of default is cured.

 

On September 28, 2022, the Company through LM Development received $291,022 of the principal balance as a reduction of the note receivable from Lake Mead Self-Storage along with $45,416 of deferred accrued interest, which resulted in an ending balance due to the Company of $1,652,118. Lake Mead Self-Storage then assigned its obligation to the Company to a related party, LMSS Developer, LLC (“LMSS Developer”). The Company then converted the note to a preferred equity position in LMSS Developer. As a result of the conversion to the preferred equity position, the Company now owns 45.24% of LMSS Developer.

The funded reserves are comprised of (i) tenant improvement reserves of $506,759, which is required as a condition precedent of the mortgage loans payable, (ii) bond cash coverage reserve of $590,000 held at UMB Bank, as trustee of the Bonds, as a requirement of the Indenture, and (iii) and cash collateral reserves held by a few of the lending banks of $121,870.

 

In our offering of a maximum of $50,000,000 of Bonds, purchase price per Bond was $1,000. The Bonds, which bore interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum, matured on September 30, 2022.

 

Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, capital expenditures and the repayment of debt, including our new Bonds maturing on September 30, 2025. We conducted the Exchange Offering to our Bondholders to replace the Bonds with the New Bonds, resulting in an extension of the maturity date for three years and an increase in the interest rate on our New Bonds to 7.5%, beginning October 1, 2022.

On September 30, 2022 we used $6,680,450 to repay those Old Bonds that did not participate in the Exchange Offer. The funds for the maturity payment were generated from available cash flow from i) a principal reduction and deferred interest payment on the Ridgmar note, and ii) available cash flow from the rental properties from sales as discussed above and from operating cash flow. As of December 31, 2023, $26,201,550 of New Bonds remain outstanding.

 

Trend Information

 

The recent rise in interest rates, resulting at least in part from measures taken to combat inflation, has adversely affected our ability to dispose of our retail real properties, and may continue to do so in the future. It is currently expected that interest rates will maintain their current heightened level or continue to increase in the near term.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business - On September 14, 2015, GK Investment Holdings, LLC (“GKIH” and/or the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company was formed with the intent to acquire and lend on existing income producing commercial rental properties for the purpose of financing, holding and operating such properties, and if the need arises, to redevelop the rental properties for an alternative use other than intended when originally acquired. GKIH also has lent and invested in potential income producing properties. However, GKIH is permitted to transact in any lawful business in addition to that stated above. GKIH anticipates funding acquisitions in part, by offering to investors the opportunity to purchase up to a maximum of $50,000,000 of Bonds of which $26,201,550 and $26,221,550 were sold and outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (Note 7). The Bonds are unsecured indebtedness of GKIH.

 

The Company has two classes of units, Class A Units and Class B Units. Fourteen individuals, or the Class A Members, hold all the Class A Units. Four entities, or the Class B Members, hold all the Class B Units. Currently, Class A Units and Class B Units each constitute 50% of the outstanding membership units and voting power, respectively, each a Membership Interest. The members of GKIH have limited liability. Pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company will exist in perpetuity unless terminated as defined in the Agreement. The Company is managed by GK Development, Inc. (the “Manager” and “Sponsor of the bonds”), an affiliate of one of the members of GKIH.

 

On October 22, 2015, Lake Mead Parent, LLC (“LM Parent”) and Lake Mead Development, LLC (“LM Development”), both Delaware limited liability companies were formed and on October 22, 2015, Lake Mead Partners, LLC (“LM Partners”), a Delaware limited liability company was formed and 100% of LM Partners is owned by LM Parent.

The Borrowers extended the maturity of the Note until December 31, 2024.

 

Allocation of Profits and Losses – Profits or losses from operations of the Company are allocated to the members of GKIH in their ownership percentages. Gains and losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of Company property are allocated to the members of GKIH in their ownership percentages.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Basis of Accounting – The Company maintains its accounting records and prepares its consolidated financial statements on an accrual basis, which is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Classification of Assets and Liabilities – The financial affairs of the Company generally do not involve a business cycle since the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities are usually dependent on the Company’s circumstances. Accordingly, the classification of current assets and current liabilities is not considered appropriate and has been omitted from the consolidated balance sheets.

Estimates – The preparation of 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsOur financial instruments consist of cash, funded reserves, short-term trade receivables, notes payable and bonds payable. The carrying values of cash, funded reserves, and short-term receivables approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the notes payable and bonds payable approximates their fair value based on interest rates currently obtainable.

 

Going Concern Considerations: Upcoming Obligations – Management believes the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

The Company had bonds payable obligations totaling $32,902,000 that were set to mature on September 30, 2022. On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Offer and Consent (the “Exchange”) solicitation and vote with the current bond holders in order to extend the maturity date of the Bonds. The Company needed a participation rate of at least 75% and achieved 80% participation in the Exchange offering. The Company issued a new bond series dated October 1, 2022 at an interest rate of 7.5% to those participating in the Exchange. The new bonds have a maturity date of September 30, 2025.

 

The remaining 20% of bond holders who did not participate were redeemed on September 30, 2022. The proceeds for the redemption were generated from available cash flow from i) the principal reduction and accrued interest payment of the Ridgmar note, and ii) available cash flow from the rental properties.

 

Management is also in the process of liquidating the remaining rental property in order to redeem, a portion or all, of the new bonds prior to the new maturity on September 30, 2025, as well as to repay the Company’s outstanding notes payable (see Note 6 for further discussion on upcoming maturities of note payable obligations and management’s plans to meet the obligations). Although management is in the process of liquidating the Company’s remaining rental properties, these items have not met the requirements of assets held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash and Restricted Cash - The Company maintains cash and restricted cash balances in federally insured financial institutions that, from time to time, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. The Company believes that they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and restricted cash. Restricted cash consists of tenant improvement/lease commission reserves and bond service reserves. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash balances that exceeded the FDIC limits by an aggregate of $796,341 and $1,438,866, respectively.

 

Restricted Cash – Funded Reserves – Funded reserves consist of (a) funds required to be maintained under the terms of the various loan agreements, which reserves have been pledged as additional collateral for those loans requiring funds to be reserved and (b) bond service reserve to be maintained under the bond indenture agreement at the bond trustee’s financial institution.

 

Revenues from Rental Properties - Revenues from rental properties are comprised of minimum base rent, percentage rent, lease termination fee income, amortization of above-market and below-market rent adjustments and straight-line rent adjustments. These leases may contain extension and termination options that are predominantly at the discretion of the tenant, provided certain conditions are satisfied.

 

·Base rental revenues from rental properties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The difference between cash received and straight-line revenue is recorded as deferred rent receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
·Certain of these leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the lessee.  We recognize this variable lease consideration only when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold.
·We amortize any tenant inducements as a reduction of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter.
·Rental income may also include payments received in connection with lease termination agreements.  Lease termination fee income is recognized when the lessee provides consideration in order to terminate a lease agreement in place.
·Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, the Company estimates the fair value of identified intangible assets and liabilities (including above-market and below-market leases, where applicable). The capitalized above-market or below-market intangible is amortized or accreted to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases.

Rental income is recorded for the period of occupancy using the effective monthly rent, which is the average monthly rental during the term of the lease. Accordingly, rental income is recognized ratably over the term of the respective leases, inclusive of leases which provide for scheduled rent increases and rental concessions. The difference between rental revenue earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Rents received in advance are deferred until they become due and are recorded as prepaid rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Additionally, during the term of their respective leases, tenants pay either (i) their pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses (as defined in the underlying lease agreement), or (ii) a fixed rate for recoveries. For most of the Company’s leases, the Company receives a fixed payment from the tenant for these reimbursed expenses, which is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all of these expenses as variable lease consideration in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The Company recognizes differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented.

 

Notes Receivable Notes receivable are stated at the outstanding principal amount, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Outstanding notes accrue interest based on the terms of the respective note agreements. A note is considered delinquent when the debtor has missed defined payments. At that time, the note is placed on nonaccrual status and interest accrual ceases and does not resume until the note is no longer classified as delinquent. Delinquent notes are written off based on defined metrics used to assess delinquency and write-off amount. The note receivable is current as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. No portion of the Note was written off during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For both years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for credit losses was $0.

Accounts Receivable Tenants and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Tenant receivables are comprised of billed, but uncollected amounts due for monthly rent and other charges required pursuant to existing rental lease agreements. The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer creditworthiness in addition to whether customer balances are expected to be collected. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on management’s assessment, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Rental Properties - Acquisitions of rental properties are generally accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with acquisition costs incurred including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions and other related costs, being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired, instead of accounted for separately as expenses in the period they are incurred. Land, buildings, and other depreciable assets are recorded at cost unless obtained in a business combination. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

The cost of major additions and betterments are capitalized and repairs and maintenance which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to operations as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are reflected in operations for the period.

 

Upon the acquisition of rental properties, the purchase price is allocated to the acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, and improvements) and acquired intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above-market and below-market leases, leasing commissions and acquired in-place leases). The amount allocated to tangible assets is determined using the income approach methodology of valuation, which amount is then allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of the assets, relying in part, upon independent third-party valuation reports. In determining the amount allocated to intangible assets and liabilities, factors are considered by management, which includes an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods and estimates of loss rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates the costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related costs. Transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized and included in the purchase price.

 

Assets Held for Sale – The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use. The Company records these properties as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year. Properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, an impaired charge is recognized. The Company utilized a third-party valuation service to determine the fair value of properties classified as held for sale. The valuation service provider determined fair value based on the three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurement. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Based on the results of the valuations the Company determined that no impairment charges should be recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Lease Intangible Assets and Liabilities – Upon the acquisition of the Rental Properties, the Company recorded above and below-market leases based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflected the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) the Company estimates of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease.

 

Management’s determination of the relative fair values of the leases, relied in part, upon independent third-party valuation reports. These assets and liabilities are being amortized or accreted on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the respective tenant leases and the amortization or accretion is being recorded as an adjustment to rental income, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Upon the acquisition of the Rental Properties, the Company estimated the value of acquired leasing commissions as the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the Rental Properties to its occupancy level at the date each Rental Property was acquired. Such estimate, which is included in lease intangibles on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, includes the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and other third-party costs that would be incurred to lease the Rental Properties to the level at the date of the acquisition. Such costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the respective tenant leases and the amortization is being recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Additionally, the Company estimated the value of acquired in-place lease costs as the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the Rental Properties to its occupancy level at the date of acquisition by evaluating the period over which such occupancy level would be achieved and included an estimate of the net operating costs incurred during lease up. In-place lease costs, which are included in lease intangibles on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the respective tenant leases and the amortization is being recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Impairment of Assets - The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets including buildings, equipment, and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pretax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations. The Company does not believe that there are any events or circumstances indicating impairment of its investments in the rental properties and related long lived assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discounts – Debt issuance costs represent fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing for the Rental Properties. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the respective agreements. Debt issuance costs are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the notes payable. Unamortized costs are expensed when the associated notes payable are refinanced or repaid before maturity. Amortization expense is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Bond Issuance Costs and Bond Discounts – Bond issuance costs represent underwriting compensation and offering costs and expenses associated with selling the bonds. Bond discounts are a volume-weighted discount (three to five percent) dependent on how many bonds are purchased. Both of these costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the term of the bonds. Bond issuance and bond discount costs are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the bond liability. Unamortized bond issue and bond discount costs will be expensed if the bonds are repaid before maturity (September 30, 2025). Amortization expense is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Deferred Leasing Costs – Deferred leasing costs represent leasing commissions, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining tenants for the rental properties. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Amortization expense is included in depreciation and amortization expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Income Taxes - The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries are treated as disregarded entities and are treated as a component of GKIH for federal income tax reporting purposes. GKIH is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and consequently, federal income taxes are not payable or provided for by the Company. Members of GKIH are taxed individually on their pro-rata ownership share of the Company’s earnings.

 

U.S. GAAP basis of accounting requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and to disclose a tax liability (or asset) if the Company has taken uncertain positions that more than likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Reporting Standards and Disclosure Requirements – The Company has adopted reporting standards and disclosure requirements as a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, as amended. These rules provide scaled disclosure accommodations, the purpose of which is to provide general regulatory relief to qualifying entities. For each of the accounting pronouncements that affect the Company, the Company has elected plans to elect to follow the rule that allows companies engaging in an initial Regulation A offering to follow private company implementation dates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better calculate credit loss estimates. The guidance applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as accounts receivable and loans; however, it does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842. ASU 2016-13 requires that the Company estimate the lifetime expected credit loss with respect to applicable receivables and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the net amounts expected to be collected. The Company is also required to disclose information about how it developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. The Company adopted the update on the required effective date of January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which is widely used as a reference interest rate in debt agreements and other contracts, was effectively discontinued for new contracts as of December 31, 2021, and its publication for existing contracts is scheduled to be discontinued by June 30, 2023. Financial market regulators in certain jurisdictions throughout the world undertook reference rate reform initiatives to guide the transition and modification of debt agreements and other contracts that are based on LIBOR to the successor reference rate that will replace it. ASU 2020-04 was issued to provide companies that are impacted by these changes with the opportunity to elect certain expedients and exceptions that are intended to ease the potential burden of accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.  The Company elected to apply the expedients and exceptions provided in ASU 2020-04 to these changes. The Company elected to account for the incorporation of the corresponding SOFR rate as the replacement reference retrospectively without requiring contract modification accounting or reassessment of the effectiveness of the interest rate protection transaction. The reference rate changes and the application of the expedients in ASU 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 6 – Notes Payable (continued)

 

Total amortization expense of debt issuance costs charged to operations amounted to $109,093 and $144,375 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such amounts have been included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred and paid debt issuance costs of $160,490 and $21,870 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Interest expense for the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $1,521,098 and $1,263,474, respectively, of which $140,671 and $112,724 was incurred but not paid as of the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Future minimum principal payments are as follows:

 

Years Ending December 31

 

   Total 
2024  $9,150,632 
2025   17,044,426 
Total  $26,195,058 

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has two notes payable financing arrangements with a combined principal balance of $8,601,722 that mature within twelve months of the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company has considered their short-term (one year or less) liquidity needs in relation to the adequacy of their estimated future cash flows from operating activities and other expected financing sources to meet these needs. They have considered their scheduled notes payable maturity in 2023 as discussed above. The Company expects to meet these short-term liquidity requirements, including the maturing of various note payable borrowing arrangements, through a combination of the following:

 

-available cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash;

 

-cash flows from operating activities;

 

-refinancing of maturity debt;

 

-intended sale of remaining rental properties, as previously discussed.

 

Management is currently working with lenders to refinance the loans noted above. One of the note agreements is with an affiliated company and has successfully refinanced and extended the maturity date in the past. The second note agreement has also had a successful history of past refinances, as previously discussed. The loans are expected to have customary interest rates similar to current loans. They are subject to formal lender commitment, definitive documentation and customary conditions. If the Company is ultimately unable to refinance these loans or sell the properties prior to maturity, the lenders have the right to place the loans in default and ultimately foreclose on the properties securing the loans. Under this circumstance, the Company would not have any further financial obligations to the lenders as the current estimated market values of these properties are in excess of the outstanding loan balances.

Note 7 – Bonds Payable

 

The Company had originally offered 7% unsecured bonds at a purchase price of $1,000 per bond. The bonds, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 7% per annum, will mature on September 30, 2022, see below for further discussion. The bonds are issued under an Indenture Trust Agreement with UMB Bank as the trustee.

 

Prepayment penalties for calling the original bonds early are as follows: (a) 1.02 times the price to the public ($1,000 per bond) if redeemed on or before September 30, 2019; (b) 1.0015 times the price to the public ($1,000 per bond) if redeemed on or after September 30, 2019 but on or before September 30, 2020; and (b) 1.001 times the price to the public ($1,000 per bond) if redeemed on or after September 30, 2020 but on or before September 30, 2021. See Note 9 for specific amounts payable to GK Development, Inc., a related party, as sponsor of the bonds.

 

On January 15, 2019, the Company adopted a “Bond Redemption Plan” which consists of 1) optional bond redemption and 2) death and disability redemption. For both redemption options, the bondholder must provide written notice and must request redemption of at least 50% of their bond holdings. Once a redemption request has been made, the Company has 120 days to redeem the bonds. In the event of an optional redemption, the price per bond is equal to $850 plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

 

In the event of a death and disability redemption, and if the redemption is being made from the original purchaser of the bonds, the price per bond is equal to the price paid per bond; for all other persons seeking redemption, the price per bond is equal to $1,000. Both redemption options are subject to a redemption period of three calendar months. During the redemption periods, only 3.75% and 1.25% of the aggregate principal amounts of bonds outstanding can be redeemed for the optional redemption and death and disability redemption, respectively. For both redemption options, cash available for the redemptions is limited to available cash flows from operations or proceeds from the sale of assets.

 

On September 30, 2019, the Company terminated the offering and as of such date of termination, had sold $33,421,000 of bonds.

 

On September 15, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Offer and Consent (the “Exchange”) solicitation and vote with the current bond holders in order to extend the maturity date of the Bonds. The Company needed a participation rate of at least 75% and achieved 80% participation in the Exchange offering. The Company issued a new bond series dated October 1, 2022 at an interest rate of 7.5% to those participating in the Exchange. The new bonds will have a maturity date of September 30, 2025. The new bonds have no prepayment penalty.

 

The remaining 20% of bond holders who did not participate were redeemed on September 30, 2022. The funds for the redemption were generated from available cash flow from i) a principal reduction and deferred interest paid on the Ridgmar note, and ii) available cash flow from the rental properties from sales as discussed above and from operating cash flow.

The Company entered into a note receivable agreement (the “Note”) effective July 30, 2021, in favor of GK Preferred Income II (Ridgmar), LLC and 1551 Kingsbury Partners SPE, LLC (“Kingsbury” and, together with GKPI II, the “Borrowers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company initially advanced $3,700,000 to the Borrowers for a term of three (3) months, maturing on October 31, 2021. The Note is collateralized by a senior secured participatory mortgage loan on the rental property, Ridgmar Mall. On October 15, 2021, the Borrowers paid $200,000 of the principal balance of the Note and simultaneously extended the maturity of the Note until November 30, 2021. On December 1, 2021, the Borrowers paid $2,500,000 of the principal balance leaving a remaining unpaid principal of $1,000,000 and extended the maturity of the Note until December 31, 2021.

 

The Note bore interest at 20% per annum, payable 12% monthly and 8% deferred and due upon maturity of the Note. On January 1, 2022, the Company increased the outstanding principal balance of the Note by $100,000 and further extended the maturity of the Note until September 30, 2022. The interest rate was reduced to 8% per annum, with the principal being repaid based on a 25-year amortization rate. On September 28, 2022, the Borrowers paid $390,610 of the principal balance of the Note along with $106,756 of deferred interest and simultaneously extended the maturity of the Note until December 31, 2023. On December 31, 2023, the Borrowers extended the maturity date of the Note until December 31, 2024.

 

Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is $67,549 and $78,288, respectively, which includes $5,712 and $4,808 of interest receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

The Lake Mead Self-Storage Note (the “Note 2”) was entered into effective April 6, 2022, in favor of Lake Mead Self-Storage, ( the “Borrower”). Pursuant to the terms of the unsecured Note 2, the Company initially advanced $254,393 to the Borrower for a term of approximately three years and five months, maturing on September 30, 2025. The Borrower can draw up to $1,950,000 in total loan proceeds during the term. The Borrower drew another $1,503,557 for the total amount drawn and due to the Company of $1,757,950.

 

Note 2 bore interest at 8% per annum, payable 8% deferred and due upon a principal paydown or maturity of the Note.

 

On September 28, 2022, the Company received $291,022 of the principal balance as a reduction of Note 2 along with $45,416 of deferred accrued interest, which resulted in an ending balance due to the Company of $1,652,118.

Note 11 – Notes receivable (continued)

 

During the year ended December 31,2022, the Company then converted the Note 2 to a preferred equity position in LMSS Developer. As a result of the conversion to the preferred equity position, the Company now owns 45.24% of LMSS Developer. Because the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in LMSS Developer, the Company has accounted for the investment using the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. This investment is reflected as Investment in Real Estate on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The Investment is in a self-storage facility that was opened for business August 6, 2023. The self-storage facility is currently in the lease-up stage. The Investment in this real estate activity incurred a loss of $271,270 per the stub period ended December 31, 2023

 

Note 12 – Information about variable interest entities

 

As described in Note 11, the Company issued a note receivable to GK Preferred Income II (Ridgmar), LLC and 1551 Kingsbury Partners SPE, LLC (“Kingsbury” and, together with GKPI II, the “Ridgmar”) on July 30, 2021. The activities that most significantly impact Ridgmar’s economic performance are from owning and operating real estate. This entity is considered to be a variable interest entity because it does not have sufficient equity to carry out its principal activities without the subordinated financial support provided by the loans from the Company. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Ridgmar because it does not have the power through voting or similar rights to direct rental operations of Ridgmar, which represent its most significant activities. The Company does not have equity investments in Ridgmar.

 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with Ridgmar is approximately $764,000 and $765,000, respectively, which represents the outstanding balance of the notes receivable, accrued interest receivable, and estimated future payments per the terms of the notes receivable agreements.
