STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

We make statements in this Annual Report on Form 1-K (the “Annual Report”) that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” “continue,” “could,” “might,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods or the negative of these terms are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this Annual Report or in the information incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

·

changes in business conditions and the market value of our assets, including changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, operator or borrower defaults or bankruptcy, and generally the increased risk of loss if our investments fail to perform as expected;

 

·

our ability to implement effective conflicts of interest policies and procedures among the various real estate investment opportunities sponsored by Realty Mogul, Co.;

 

·

our ability to access sources of liquidity when we have the need to fund repurchases of shares of our common stock in excess of the proceeds from the sales of shares of our common stock in our continuous offering and the consequential risk that we may not have the resources to satisfy share repurchase requests;

 

·

Item 1.       Business

 

The Company

 

MogulREIT II, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on January 13, 2017 to own and manage a diversified portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States. The use of the terms “MogulREIT II,” the “Company,” “we,”, “us,” or “our” in this Annual Report refer to MogulREIT II, Inc., unless the context indicates otherwise. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017.

 

We operate under the direction of the board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders as fiduciaries. The current board members are Jilliene Helman, Flynann Janisse and Louis W. Weeks III.  Ms. Janisse and Mr. Weeks are independent directors. We are externally managed by RM Adviser, LLC (“Manager”), which is an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, RM Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”). Our Manager and our Sponsor are each wholly-owned subsidiaries of Realty Mogul, Co. Our Manager manages our day-to-day operations. Our Manager also provides asset management, marketing, investor relations and other administrative services on our behalf with the goal of maximizing our operating cash flow and preserving our capital.

 

On August 23, 2017, our offering of shares of common stock (the “Offering”) was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and we commenced operations on September 18, 2017. We are offering up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock including any shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. As of December 31, 2017, we had issued approximately 401,406 shares of our common stock in the Offering for gross offering proceeds of $4,014,057. We expect to continue to offer shares of our common stock in the Offering until we raise the maximum amount being offered, unless the Offering is terminated by our board of directors at an earlier time. See Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Overview” for more information concerning the current status of the Offering.

 

We have used, and intend to continue using substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering to invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the Unites States.

 

As of December 31, 2017, our portfolio was comprised of approximately $47,000,000 in real estate investments that, in the opinion of our Manager, meets our investment objectives.  We intend to make preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in apartment communities that have demonstrated consistently high occupancy and income levels across market cycles as well as multifamily properties that offer value added opportunities with appropriate risk-adjusted returns and opportunity for value appreciation.

 

Investment Strategy

 

We intend to use substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering to make preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties, including independent senior-living communities, located in target markets throughout the United States. We intend to invest in apartment communities that have demonstrated consistently high occupancy and income levels across market cycles as well as multifamily properties that offer value added opportunities with appropriate risk-adjusted returns and opportunity for value appreciation. We will invest in the following types of assets: equity or preferred equity interests in companies whose primary business is to own and operate one or more specified multifamily projects.

 

We believe that the near and intermediate-term market for investment in multifamily communities is compelling from a risk-return perspective. Millennials and Baby Boomers, the two largest demographic groups comprising roughly half of the total population in the United States, are increasingly choosing to live in a variety of rental housing. The Company plans to provide rental housing for these multi-generational groups as they age through their housing needs. With home ownership is at its lowest rate since 1967 combined with the demographic and economic factors that favor renting, we believe that a multifamily investment policy targeted to provide rental housing options is appropriately timed for this market. We believe that our investment strategy, combined with the experience and expertise of our Manager’s management team, will provide opportunities to invest in assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns.

 

3


 

 

Our Manager, through its affiliates, intends to structure, underwrite and originate many of the properties in which we will invest as this provides for the best opportunity to control our borrower and partner relationships and optimize the terms of our investments. Our affiliates’ underwriting process, which our management team has successfully developed over their extensive real estate careers in a variety of market conditions and implemented at Realty Mogul, Co., will involve comprehensive financial, structural, operational and legal due diligence of our borrowers and partners in order to optimize pricing and structuring and mitigate risk. We believe the current and future market environment provides a wide range of opportunities to generate compelling investments with strong risk-return profiles for our stockholders.

 

Investment Objectives

 

Our primary investment objectives are to realize capital appreciation in the value of our investments over the long term and to pay attractive and stable cash distributions to stockholders.

 

Competition

 

There are numerous REITs with asset acquisition objectives similar to ours, and others may be organized in the future, which may increase competition for the investments suitable for us. Competitive variables include market presence and visibility, size of investments offered and underwriting standards. To the extent that a competitor is willing to risk larger amounts of capital in a particular transaction or to employ more liberal underwriting standards when evaluating potential investments than we are, our investment volume and profit margins for our investment portfolio could be impacted. Our competitors also may be willing to accept lower returns on their investments and may succeed in buying the assets that we have targeted for acquisition. Although we believe that we are well positioned to compete effectively in each facet of our business, there is enormous competition in our market sector and there can be no assurance that we will compete effectively or that we will not encounter increased competition in the future that could limit our ability to conduct our business effectively.

 

Risk Factors

 

We face risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business as well as the real estate industry generally. These risks are outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in our Offering Circular dated August 23, 2017, and qualified by the SEC on August 23, 2017, as supplemented (the “Offering Circular”), which may be accessed on the SEC’s EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) system and may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time, and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. These risks could result in a decrease in the value of shares of our common stock.

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

 

Overview

 

MogulREIT II, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on January 13, 2017 to own and manage a diversified portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States. We are externally managed by our Manager, which is an affiliate of our Sponsor. Both our Manager and our Sponsor are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Realty Mogul, Co. Although our Manager manages our day-to-day operations, we operate under the direction of our board of directors, majority of whom are independent directors. Our affiliate, RM Technologies, LLC operates an online investment platform, www.realtymogul.com. Our shares are being offered in the Offering exclusively through this platform. We commenced operations on September 18, 2017.  

 

Pursuant to the Offering, we are offering and will continue to offer up to $50,000,000 in shares of our common stock, including any shares that may be sold pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. As of April 23, 2018, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of approximately $6,940,927 from settled subscriptions and issued an aggregate of 694,093 shares of our common stock, with additional subscriptions for an aggregate of 14,700  shares of our common stock, representing additional potential gross offering proceeds of approximately $147,000, that have been accepted by us but not settled. Assuming the settlement for all subscriptions received, as of April 23, 2018, approximately $42,912,073 in shares of our common stock remained available for sale to the public pursuant to the Offering.  We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from the Offering (after paying or reimbursing organization and offering expenses) to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of preferred equity and joint venture equity investments in multifamily properties located in target markets throughout the United States.

 

Our Investments

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we entered into the following investments. See the section entitled “Recent Developments” below for a description of investments we have made subsequent to December 31, 2017.  

 

Acquisition of Serendipity Apartments –Dallas, TX

 

On August 31, 2017, we acquired a $4,000,000 joint-venture limited partnership equity investment in connection with the acquisition of a 343-unit multifamily apartment community located in Dallas, Texas. We acquired the investment for a purchase price of $4,000,000, which was funded with a loan from Realty Mogul Commercial Capital, Co.

 

Acquisition of Brooklyn Portfolio –Brooklyn, NY

 

On November 30, 2017, we acquired a $3,000,000 joint-venture limited partnership equity investment in connection with the refinancing of a 112-unit multifamily portfolio of apartment buildings in Brooklyn, New York.  We acquired the investment for a purchase price of $3,000,000, which was funded with a loan from Realty Mogul Commercial Capital, Co.

 

Distributions

 

We did not declare any distributions for the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2107.  See the section entitled “Recent Developments” below for a discussion on distributions declared subsequent to December 31, 2017.

 

Share Repurchase Program

 

We have adopted a share repurchase program in order to provide our stockholders with some liquidity that may enable them to sell their shares of common stock to us in limited circumstances. The Board may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. Reasons we may amend, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program include (i) to protect our operations and our remaining stockholders, (ii) to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, (iii) to preserve our status as a REIT, (iv) following any material decrease in our NAV, or (v) for any other reason.

 

5


 

 

From the period January 13, 2107 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we did not receive any repurchase requests for shares of our common stock.   A valid repurchase request is one that complies with the applicable requirements and guidelines of our current share repurchase program.

 

Sources of Operating Revenue and Cash Flow

 

Our revenue is mainly generated from rental income and tenant reimbursements from our investments.

 

Profitability and Performance Metrics

 

We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) to evaluate the profitability and performance of our business. See “─  Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a description of these metrics. Our investing and management activities related to commercial real estate are all considered a single reportable business segment for financial reporting purposes. All of the investments we have made to date have been in domestic commercial real estate assets with similar economic characteristics, and we evaluate the performance of all of our investments using similar criteria.

 

Market Outlook and Recent Trends

 

We still see strong economic indicators for real estate as we enter the new year.  Though we believe the U.S. economy is in the late stages of its recovery, we believe that there is still further growth in the near to intermediate-term.  In November 2017, consumer confidence reached its highest level in 17 years.  The metric decreased slightly in December, but it remains at historically strong levels.  While we believe consumer confidence trails the market rather than precedes it, we believe that positive consumer confidence bodes well for near-term investing.

Equities are also at all-time highs, evidenced by the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Similarly, job growth has remained strong, and unemployment rates are at their lowest levels in a decade. We believe that this is one of the most important macroeconomic indicators for real estate and is one of the foundations of our positive near-term outlook.

Additionally, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was signed into law on December 22, 2017,  and which we view as being market friendly, may have a positive impact on investors moving forward.  1031 exchanges, which allow for the deferment of capital gains taxes by using such proceeds to purchase real estate, remained largely unaffected by the tax changes.  In addition, changes relating to pass-through entities, such as REITs and special purpose entities formed specifically to acquire real estate, may result in a reduction to the effective tax rate on certain distributions paid by such entities.

 

For commercial real estate specifically, the total deal volume in October 2017 and November 2017 had year-over-year decreases of 23% and 31%, respectively, yet sale prices increased both in the aggregate and in all individual

asset classes except for office, as depicted in the charts below.  We believe these statistics indicate that both buyers and sellers are less willing to compromise on the purchase price of new acquisitions.

We believe that this environment will also create a need for more refinancing opportunities as sellers are holding their assets for longer periods of time.

 

Though current pricing indicates that we are in a seller’s market overall, we believe that our prudent underwriting and flexibility to make investments in any type of multifamily asset, any geography and any tier in the capital stack leaves us poised to take advantage of the near and intermediate-term opportunities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

8


 

 

different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate

 

The Company has recorded acquired real estate investments as business combinations when the real estate is occupied, at least in part, at acquisition. Costs directly related to the acquisition of such investments have been expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate among land, building, improvements and intangibles, such as the value of above, below and at-market leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases at the acquisition date. The Company assesses the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The value, as determined, is allocated to land, building and improvements based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets.

       The Company assesses the fair value of lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements.

       The value of lease intangibles is recorded to amortization expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its contractual expiration date or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets is 10 months.  Amortization expense related to intangible lease assets amounted to $228,151 for the period from January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017.

The Company assesses the fair value of assumed debt based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The difference between the fair value and the stated principal of assumed debt is amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective debt obligations, which approximates the effective interest method.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2017, both of the investments we held were considered VIEs.

Fair Value

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value Option

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental income includes the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. In determining, in its judgment, that the unbilled rent receivable applicable to each specific property is collectible, management reviews unbilled rent receivables on a regular basis and takes into consideration the tenant's payment history and financial condition.

 

For certain properties, in addition to contractual base rent, the tenants pay their share of utilities to the Company. The income and expenses associated with these properties are generally recorded on a gross basis when the Company is the primary obligor. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded reimbursements of expenses of $111,006, which are reported as tenant reimbursements in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

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

 

Impairment and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

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

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent payments. At December 31, 2017, there was no balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements.

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

On August 23, 2017,  the Offering was qualified by the SEC and we commenced material operations on September 18, 2017. Our financial statements are presented for the period from January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017. The period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017 resulted in a net loss attributable to MogulREIT II of approximately $674,230.  Net loss was primarily attributable to rental and tenant reimbursements income less general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, real estate expenses and real estate acquisition costs over the operating period.

 

Rental Income, net

 

For the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we earned net rental income of $933,153.

 

Tenant Reimbursements

 

For the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we earned tenant reimbursements of $111,006.

 

Expenses

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

For the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we incurred depreciation and amortization expenses of $461,870.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the period  January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $234,434 which includes professional fees, organizational costs and other costs associated with running our business. 

 

Real Estate Expenses

 

For the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we incurred real estate expenses of $311,884.

 

Real Estate Acquisition Costs

 

For the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we incurred real estate acquisition costs of $829,991.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

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

 

We are dependent upon the net proceeds from the Offering to conduct our proposed operations. We currently obtain the capital required to purchase real estate-related investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of the Offering and any future offerings we may conduct, from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders and from any undistributed funds from our operations.  As of December 31, 2017, we had made two investments with a net investment value of approximately $47,000,000 and had cash of approximately $1,200,000. We anticipate that proceeds from the Offering will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments as of December 31, 2017 as well as our operational cost.

 

11


 

 

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

 

We expect to selectively employ leverage to enhance total returns to our stockholders. Our targeted portfolio-wide leverage after we have acquired an initial substantial portfolio of diversified investments is up to 75% of the fair market value or expected fair market value (for a value-add acquisition) of our assets; provided, however, we may exceed this limit for certain temporary bridge financings. During the period when we are acquiring our initial portfolio, we may employ greater leverage on individual assets (that will also result in greater leverage of the initial portfolio) in order to quickly build a diversified portfolio of assets. As of December 31, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings other than those owed to related parties.

 

In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our Manager. During our organization and offering stage, these payments will include payments for reimbursement of certain organization and offering expenses. We expect aggregate organization and offering expenses to be approximately $1,500,000 or, if we raise the maximum offering amount, approximately 3% of gross offering proceeds. If the Offering is not successfully completed, we will not be obligated to pay the remaining offering and organizational costs owed to our Manager. Real estate sponsors may make payments to our Sponsor or its affiliates in connection with the selection or purchase of investments.

On February 28, 2018, we acquired a $1,000,000 joint-venture limited partnership equity investment related to the acquisition of a 263-unit, 35-building apartment complex in the Southwest submarket of Fort Worth, Texas.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

 

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

 

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

 

·

the amortization or accrual of various deferred costs; and

 

·

an adjustment to reverse the effects of unrealized gains/(losses).

 

Our calculation of AFFO differs from the methodology used for calculating AFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and AFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash expenses. Additionally, FFO and AFFO serve as measures of our operating performance because they facilitate evaluation of our company without the effects of selected items required in accordance with GAAP that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, AFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and AFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs.

 

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

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Stockholders
MogulREIT II, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of MogulREIT II, Inc., which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MogulREIT II, Inc. as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period January 13, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2017 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MogulREIT II, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017

 

Note 1 - Formation and Organization

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We believe we have operated in such a manner as to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes as of and for the period from inception through December 31, 2017. We hold substantially all of our assets directly, and as of the date of these financial statements have not established an operating partnership or any taxable REIT subsidiary or qualified REIT subsidiary.

 

Pursuant to the Form 1-A filed with the SEC with respect to our offering (the “Offering”) of up to $50,000,000  in shares of common stock, the purchase price for all shares was $10.00 per share as of December 31, 2017. The Offering was qualified by the SEC on August 23, 2017, and we commenced operations as of September 18, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has issued 371,106 shares, including 10,000 shares issued to our Sponsor, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. The Company has the authority to issue 9,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

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

GAAP requires any subsidiaries or affiliates under common control to be consolidated. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its controlled joint ventures, Travertine North Park Investors, LLC, and Vinegar Hill Asset, LLC, which were acquired during 2017. See Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities and Note 6 – Business Combinations.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

F-7


 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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

Geographic concentration

As of December 31, 2017, the Company's investments in real estate operate in Brooklyn, New York and Dallas, Texas. Future operations could be affected by changes in economic or other conditions in those geographical areas or the demand for such housing. 

 

Organizational, Offering and Related Costs

 

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

 

The Company expenses organization costs as incurred and offering costs, when incurred, will be deferred and charged to additional paid-in capital. The deferred offering costs will be charged against the gross proceeds of the Offering when received or written off in the event that the Offering is not successfully completed.  The Manager and/or affiliates will be reimbursed for organizational and offering expenses incurred in conjunction with the Offering subject to achieving a minimum capital raise of $1,000,000. The Company was not required to reimburse any organizational and offering costs before December 31, 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Manager has incurred offering costs of approximately $341,868 on behalf of the Company, including the full amount of legal fees of $250,000. As of December 31, 2017, approximately $24,690 of offering costs had been amortized and were included in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

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

 

A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents has both the: (i) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (ii) obligation to absorb the losses of the VIE or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE, which could be significant to the VIE. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE by considering various factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of its investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other interests to provide financial support; consideration of the VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders and the similarity with and significance to the business

F-8


 

 

activities of our interest and the other interests. We reassess our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE each reporting period. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the future performance of investments held by VIEs and general market conditions. The maximum risk of loss related to our investments is limited to our recorded investment in such entities, if any.

 

As of December 31, 2017, we held investments in two entities which are considered to be VIEs. See Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2017, $32,593 in distributions have been made to stockholders, which were classified for tax purposes as ordinary income.  The Company expects its distributions to be characterized for federal income tax purposes as (i) ordinary income, (ii) non-taxable return of capital, or (iii) long-term capital gain. Distributions that exceed current or accumulated taxable earnings and profits constitute a return of capital for tax purposes and reduce the stockholders’ basis in the shares of common stock. To the extent that distributions exceed both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the shareholders’ basis in shares of common stock, they will generally be treated as a gain or loss upon the sale or exchange of our stockholders’ shares of common stock. When we begin to make distributions to our stockholders, we will report the taxability of such distributions in information returns that will be provided to our stockholders and filed with the Internal Revenue Service in the year following such distributions. This information will be provided annually beginning in the first year that distributions occur.

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

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

For certain properties, in addition to contractual base rent, the tenants pay their share of utilities to the Company. The income and expenses associated with these properties are generally recorded on a gross basis when the Company is the primary obligor. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded reimbursements of expenses of $111,006, which are reported as Tenant reimbursements in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

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

 

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate

 

The Company has recorded acquired real estate investments as business combinations when the real estate is occupied, at least in part, at acquisition. Costs directly related to the acquisition of such investments have been expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate among land, building, improvements and intangibles, such as the value of above, below and at-market leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases at the acquisition date. The Company assesses the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The value, as determined, is allocated to land, building and improvements based on management's determination of the relative fair values of these assets.

F-9


 

 

       The Company assesses the fair value of lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In valuing an acquired property's intangibles, factors considered by management include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, such as real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on its evaluation of current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements.

       The value of lease intangibles is recorded to amortization expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its contractual expiration date or not renewed, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be recognized in operations at that time. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets is 10 months.  Amortization expense related to intangible lease assets amounted to $228,151 for the period from inception through December 31, 2017.

The Company assesses the fair value of assumed debt based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The difference between the fair value and the stated principal of assumed debt is amortized using the effective interest method basis over the terms of the respective debt obligation. 

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

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

Escrows

       Real estate taxes, insurance and other escrows aggregating $201,725 at December 31, 2017, are included in Escrow, deposits and other assets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

       The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent payments. At December 31, 2017, there was no balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements.

Depreciation and Amortization

       Depreciation of buildings is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 30 to 40 years. Depreciation of building improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the improvements.  Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 5 years.  Depreciation expense amounted to $233,719 for the period from inception through December 31, 2017.

F-10


 

 

Deferred Financing Costs

       Mortgage costs are deferred and amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective debt obligations. At December 31, 2017, deferred financing costs amounted to $92,809, net of accumulated amortization of $11,601. The Company presents unamortized deferred financing costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.

The unamortized balance of intangible lease assets at December 31, 2017 of $484,223 will be charged to amortization expense during 2018.

F-11


 

 

 

Minimum Future Rents

 

The rental properties owned at December 31, 2017 are leased under 12 month operating leases with current expirations throughout 2018, with certain tenant renewal rights.

 

Note 4 – Variable Interest Entities

 

       With respect to the two consolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds a 34% and 63% interest, respectively, the Company has determined that such ventures are VIEs because we hold substantive kick-out or participating rights.

 

       In each of these joint ventures, the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as it has the power to remove the VIE manager with or without cause, and thus, can direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint venture's performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated the operations of these joint ventures for financial statement purposes. The joint ventures' creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by these joint ventures.

 

       The following is a summary of the consolidated VIEs' carrying amounts and classification in the Company's consolidated balance sheet:

Related Party Loans

 

On August 31, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note for approximately $4 million with Realty Mogul Commercial Capital, LLC (“RMCC”), an affiliate of the Manager. The proceeds from the loan were used to purchase the Company’s first asset. During 2017, the Company used proceeds from the issuance of common stock to repay approximately $3.7 million to RMCC. The promissory note matures on August 31, 2022 and accrues interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2%. 

 

On November 30, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note for approximately $3 million with RMCC. The proceeds from the loan were used to purchase the Company’s second asset. The promissory note matures on November 30, 2022 and accrues interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2%.
