Preparation of Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein
may
not
be indicative of the results expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form
10
-K.
 
On 
March 2, 2018, 
HG Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) sold substantially all of its assets (the “Asset Sale”) to Stanley Furniture Company LLC, formerly Churchill Downs LLC (“Buyer”), pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of
November 20, 2017, 
as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated 
January 22, 2017 (
the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). Operations of the furniture business from
January 1, 2018
through
March 2, 2018
are reflected as discontinued operations pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
2015

Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations
for all periods presented. As a result of the sale, the Company
no
longer has a wholly owned subsidiary.
 
Results of discontinued operations are excluded from the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statement for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
 
On
September 6, 2018,
as previously reported on Form
8
-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 12, 2018,
Buyer sold certain of its assets, including certain inventory of the Stone & Leigh tradename (the “S&L Asset Sale”), to Stone & Leigh, LLC (“S&L”), a newly formed limited liability company owned by a group which includes Matthew W. Smith, the Company’s former interim Chief Executive Officer. As a part of the S&L Asset Sale, Buyer assigned to S&L certain of its rights and obligations under the subordinated secured promissory note payable to the Company (“Original Note”).
 
As a result of both the Asset Sale and the S&L Asset Sale, we have a variable interest in
two
entities that have been determined to be variable interest entities ("VIE"). If we conclude that we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we are required to consolidate it. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our evaluation includes identification of significant activities and an assessment of our ability to direct those activities based on governance provisions and arrangements to provide or receive product and process technology, product supply, operations services, equity funding, financing, and other applicable agreements and circumstances. Our assessments of whether we are the primary beneficiary of our VIE requires significant assumptions and judgments. We have concluded that we are
not
the primary beneficiary of the
two
VIEs as we do
not
have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and therefore are
not
required to consolidate these entities.
 
On
March 19, 2019,
we entered into subscription agreements with HC Government Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“HC Realty”), pursuant to which we purchased (i)
200,000
shares of HC Realty’s
10.00%
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,000,000
and (ii)
300,000
shares of HC Realty’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$3,000,000.
  Certain investors affiliated with Hale Partnership Capital Management, LLC (the “HPCM”) purchased an additional
850,000
shares of Series B Stock for an aggregate purchase price of
$8,500,000.
  While some of these investors have other investments with HPCM, each of these investors made a separate and direct investment in HC Realty and HPCM does
not
receive management fees, performance fees, or any other economic benefits with respect to these investors’ investment in HC Realty’s Series B Stock.
 
On
March 19, 2019,
the Company and certain entities affiliated with HPCM (the “Lenders”) also entered into a loan agreement with HC Realty’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), pursuant to which the Lenders provided the Operating Partnership with a
$10,500,000
senior secured term loan, of which
$2,000,000
was provided by the Company. While some of these entities have other investments with HPCM, each of these entities made the loan separate and direct to HC Realty and HPCM does
not
receive management fees, performance fees, or any other economic benefits with respect to the loan agreement.
 
As of
December 31, 2018,
HC Realty owned and operated a portfolio of
16
single-tenant properties leased entirely to the United States of America for occupancy by federal agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Social Security Administration and the Department of Transportation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
June 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU
2016
-
13,
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic
326
): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU
2016
-
13”
). The amendments in ASU
2016
-
13
require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU
2016
-
13
amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendment is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2019,
however early application is permitted for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018.
The Company does
not
anticipate the adoption of ASU
2016
-
13
to have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued its final lease accounting standard, ASC,
Leases
(Topic
842
) (“ASU
2016
-
02”
), which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of -use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such as for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes, the new standard retains a dual model similar to ASC
840,
requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. For lessees, operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current accounting by lessees for operating leases under ASC
840
) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current accounting by lessees for capital leases under ASC
840
). The Company adopted the standard effective
January 1, 2019.
As of
March 31, 2019,
we do
not
have any long-term leases. We will evaluate the effect that ASU
2016
-
02
will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures at such time a long-term lease is executed. Our only lease as of
March 31, 2019
relates to a real estate lease for the corporate office space. The adoption did
not
have material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
