Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words or phrases “anticipate,” “estimate,” ”believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management’s current views with respect to financial results related to future events and are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, financial or otherwise, may differ, perhaps materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors discussed in Item 1A of this Form 10-Q and other factors that might cause differences, some of which could be material, include, but are not limited to: the possibility that we may be unable to find appropriate investment opportunities; levels of construction activity in the markets served by our mining properties; demand for apartments in Washington D.C.: our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development; the impact of lending and capital market conditions on our liquidity, our ability to finance projects or repay our debt; general real estate investment and development risks; vacancies in our properties; risks associated with developing and managing properties in partnership with others; competition; our ability to renew leases or re-lease spaces as leases expire; illiquidity of real estate investments; bankruptcy or defaults of tenants; the impact of restrictions imposed by our credit facility; the level and volatility of interest rates; environmental liabilities; inflation risks; cyber security risks; as well as other risks listed from time to time in our SEC filings, including but not limited to, our annual and quarterly reports. We have no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, other than as imposed by law, as a result of future events or new information. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management’s current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company’s other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FRP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.

 

FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in the real estate business, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement and development primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of a residential apartment building, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “FRP”) inclusive of our operating real estate subsidiaries, FRP Development Corp. (“Development”) and Florida Rock Properties, Inc. (”Properties”) and RiverFront Investment Partners I, LLC. Our investment in the Brooksville joint venture, BC FRP Realty joint venture, RiverFront Holdings II joint venture, and Bryant Street Partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note 11). Our ownership of RiverFront Investment Partners I, LLC includes a non-controlling interest representing the ownership of our partner.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and 3 additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. This resulted in the disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties and constituted a major strategic shift and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

 

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which replaces existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date. Lease contracts with customers constitute a materially all of our revenues and are a specific scope exception. The new standard was adopted beginning with the first quarter of 2018 in connection with our revenues not subject to leases and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. The Company is not a significant lessee. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing accounting standards. The Company's existing leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. Leases entered into after the effective date of the new standard may be classified as operating or sales-type leases, based on specific classification criteria. Operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as under current GAAP. Sales-type lease accounting, however, will

8 
 

result in the recognition of selling profit at lease commencement, with interest income recognized over the life of the lease. The new standard also includes a change to the treatment of internal leasing costs and legal costs, which can no longer be capitalized. Only incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained may be deferred as initial direct costs. The new standard also requires lessors to exclude from variable payments certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that the lessor contractually requires the lessee to pay directly to a third party on its behalf. The new standard requires our expected credit loss related to the collectability of lease receivables to be reflected as an adjustment to the line item Lease Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the credit loss related to the collectibility of lease receivables was recognized in the line item Operating expenses and was not significant. Additionally, the new standard requires lessors to allocate the consideration in a contract between the lease component (right to use an underlying asset) and non-lease component (transfer of a good or service that is not a lease). However, lessors are provided with a practical expedient, elected by class of underlying asset, to account for lease and non-lease components of a contract as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. The terms of the Company's leases generally provide that the Company is entitled to receive reimbursements from tenants for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, in addition to the base rental payments for use of the underlying asset. Under the new standard, common area maintenance is considered a nonlease component of a lease contract, which would be accounted for under Topic 606. However, the Company will apply the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. While the timing of recognition should remain the same, the Company is no longer presenting reimbursement revenue from tenants separately in our Consolidated Statements of Income beginning January 1, 2019. The new standard along with the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements which the FASB issued in July 2018, was adopted effective January 1, 2019 and we have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before January 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

(3) Business Segments. The Company is reporting its financial performance based on four reportable segments, Asset Management, Mining Royalty Lands, Development and Stabilized Joint Venture, as described below.

 

The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages commercial properties. The flex/office warehouses in the Asset Management Segment were sold (with one remaining warehouse in discontinued operations) and reclassified to discontinued operations leaving only three commercial properties and one recent industrial acquisition, Cranberry Run, which we purchased in 2019.

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials).  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.

 

Through our Development segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.  Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development segment will form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.

 

The Company operates a residential apartment building Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC partnership (“Dock 79”). The ownership of Dock 79 attributable to our partner MRP Realty is reflected on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within equity but separately from shareholders' equity. On the Consolidated Statements of Income, all of the revenues and expenses from Dock 79 are reported in net income, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is clearly identified on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and 3 additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. This sale constituted a major strategic shift and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. We plan to develop our remaining owned office/warehouse pad sites in a timely, deliberate manner and find a buyer once each building is fully leased.

(4) Related Party Transactions. The Company is a party to a Transition Services Agreement which resulted from our January 30, 2015 spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot). The Transition Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot will provide to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain shared executive officers. The boards of the respective companies amended and extended this agreement for one year effective October 1, 2018.

 

The consolidated statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $301,000 and $359,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Included in the charges above are amounts recognized for corporate executive stock-based compensation expense. These charges are reflected as part of corporate expenses.

 

To determine these allocations between FRP and Patriot as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, we employ an allocation method to allocate said expenses and thus we believe that the allocations to FRP are a reasonable approximation of the costs related to FRP’s operations, but any such related-party transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis.

 

(5) Long-Term Debt. Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):

 

    March 31,   December 31,
    2019   2018
Riverfront permanent loan   $ 88,823       88,789  
Less portion due within one year     —         —    
    $ 88,823       88,789  

 

On May 21, 2018 in conjunction with the sale of the warehouse business the Companies mortgages notes were prepaid and the credit line with First Tennessee Bank, N.A. was terminated. Prepayment penalties of $3,420,000 were paid.

 

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), effective February 6, 2019. The Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo dated January 30, 2015. The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year revolving credit facility with a maximum facility amount of $20 million. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement will be a maximum of 1.50% over LIBOR, which may be reduced quarterly to 1.25% or 1.0% over LIBOR if the Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital, as defined which excludes FRP Riverfront. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment but the amount may be reduced to 0.20% or 0.15% if the Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. The Credit Agreement contains certain conditions, affirmative financial covenants and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2019, there was no debt outstanding on this revolver, $1,740,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $18,260,000 available for borrowing. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are

11 
 

irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The letter of credit fee is 1% and applicable interest rate would have been 3.48% on March 31, 2019. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of March 31, 2019, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $209 million combined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2019.

 

On November 17, 2017, Riverfront Holdings I, LLC (the "Joint Venture") refinanced the Dock 79 project pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank ("Loan Documents"). The Joint Venture, which was formed between the Company and MRP in 2014 in connection with the development of the Riverfront on the Anacostia property, borrowed a principal sum of $90,000,000 in connection with the refinancing. The loan is secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and has a term of 120 months. During the first 48 months of the loan term, the Joint Venture will make monthly payments of interest only, and thereafter, make monthly payments of principal and interest in equal installments based upon a 30-year amortization period. The loan is a non-recourse loan. However, all amounts due under the Loan Documents will become immediately due upon an event of default by the Joint Venture, such events including, without limitation, Joint Venture's (i) failure to: pay, permit inspections or observe covenants under the Loan Documents, (ii) breach of representations made under the Loan Documents (iii) voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, and (iv) dissolution, or the dissolution of the guarantor. MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC, an affiliate of MRP, has executed a carve-out guaranty in connection with the loan.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 the Company capitalized interest costs of $385,000 and $235,000, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 22,470 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, 17,275 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

During the quarter the Company repurchased 35,932 shares at an average cost of $47.71.

 

(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. The Company has two Stock Option Plans (the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Option Plan) under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers and key employees. The 2016 plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or stock awards. The options awarded under the plans have similar characteristics. All stock options are non-qualified and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock based compensation awarded to directors, officers and employees are exercisable immediately or become exercisable in cumulative installments of 20% or 25% at the end of each year following the date of grant. When stock options are exercised the Company issues new shares after receipt of exercise proceeds and taxes due, if any, from the grantee. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 490,310 at March 31, 2019.

 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating fair value of stock compensation for options awarded to officers and employees. Each grant is evaluated based upon assumptions at the time of grant. The assumptions were no dividend yield, expected volatility between 29% and 43%, risk-free interest rate of .6% to 2.9% and expected life of 3.0 to 7.0 years.

 

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate at the date of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to exercise options by the employees.

 

The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in its consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

    Three Months ended

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was $1,914,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding in-the-money options was $2,080,000 based on the market closing price of $47.57 on March 29, 2019 less exercise prices.

 

The unrecognized compensation cost of options granted to FRP employees but not yet vested as of March 31, 2019 was $374,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.2 years.

 

 

(8) Contingent Liabilities. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company executed a letter of intent with MRP in May 2016 to develop Phase II of the Riverfront on the Anacostia project and recorded an estimated environmental remediation expense of $2.0 million for the Company’s estimated liability under the proposed agreement. The Company substantially completed the remediation and reduced the estimated liability in the quarter ending September 30, 2018 by $465,000. The Company has no obligation to remediate any known contamination on Phases III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction on each phase.

 

 

(9) Concentrations.  The mining royalty lands segment has a total of five tenants currently leasing mining locations and one lessee that accounted for 30% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $327,000 of accounts receivable at March 31, 2019.  The termination of these lessees’ underlying leases could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with Wells Fargo Bank and First Tennessee Bank.  At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.

 

 

(10) Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs are those that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

At March 31, 2019 the Company was invested in 48 corporate bonds with individual maturities ranging from 2020 through 2022. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $1,125,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The Company recorded a realized gain of $119,000 in its net investment income related to bonds that were sold first quarter 2019. The amortized cost of the investments was $147,653,000 and the carrying amount and fair value of such bonds were $148,778,000 as of March 31, 2019.

 

At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit approximate their fair value based upon the short-term nature of these items.

 

The fair values of the Company’s other mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At March 31, 2019, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $88,823,000 and $90,173,000, respectively. At March 31, 2018, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $117,231,000 and $118,469,000, respectively.

(11) Investments in Joint Ventures (Equity Method).

 

Brooksville. In 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of the property until 2032 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a 288-acre contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it leased from FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to the Company. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes a loss of $10,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss of this joint venture.

 

BC FRP Realty (Windlass Run). During the quarter ending March 2016, we entered into an agreement with a Baltimore development company (St. John Properties, Inc.) to jointly develop the remaining lands of our Windlass Run Business Park. The 50/50 partnership initially calls for FRP to combine its 25 acres (valued at $7,500,000) with St. John Properties’ adjacent 10 acres fronting on a major state highway (valued at $3,239,536) which resulted in an initial cash distribution of $2,130,232 to FRP in May 2016. Thereafter, the venture will jointly develop the combined properties into a multi-building business park to consist of approximately 329,000 square feet of single-story office space. On September 28, 2017 BC FRP Realty, LLC obtained $17,250,000 of construction financing commitments for 4 buildings through September 15, 2022 from BB&T at 2.5% over LIBOR. The balance outstanding on these loans at March 31, 2019 was $10,110,000.

 

Essexshire Loan. On January 27, 2018 the Company entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire now known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $9.2 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which the Company is also entitled to a portion of proceeds from sale. This project will hold 122 town homes and 4 single family lots and is currently in the entitlement process. The loan balance at March 31, 2019 was $755,000.

 

RiverFront Holdings II, LLC. On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP formed a partnership to develop Phase II of our RiverFront on the Anacostia project and closed on construction financing with Eagle Bank. The Company has contributed its land with an agreed value of $16.3 million (cost basis of $4.6 million) and $6.2 million of cash. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the partnership including development costs paid prior to the formation of the partnership and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate all of which was advanced through March 31, 2019. The Company records interest income for this loan and a loss in equity in ventures for our 80% equity in the partnership. The loan from Eagle Bank allows draws of up to $71 million during construction at an interest rate of 3.25% over LIBOR. The loan is interest only and matures in 36 months with a 12-month extension assuming completion of construction and at least one occupancy. There is a provision for an additional 72 months extension with a 30-year amortization of principal at 2.15% over seven-year US Treasury Constant if NOI is sufficient for a 9% yield. The loan balance at March 31, 2019 was $2,230,000. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting through the construction and lease up period as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project.

 

Bryant Street Partnerships. On December 24, 2018 the Company and MRP formed 4 partnerships to purchase and develop approximately five acres of land at 500 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, D.C. This property is the first phase of the Bryant Street Master Plan. The property is located in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities development program as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed cash of $32 million in exchange for a 61.36% common equity in the partnership. The Company also contributed cash of $23 million as preferred equity financing at 8.0% interest rate. The Company records interest income for this loan and a loss in equity in ventures for our 61.36% equity in the partnership. On March 13, 2019 the partnerships closed on a construction loan with a group of lenders for up to $132 million at an interest rate of 2.25% over LIBOR. The loan matures March 13, 2023 with up to two extension of one year each upon certain conditions. There were no draws on the loan through March 31, 2019. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is

The Company’s capital recorded by the unconsolidated Joint Ventures is $11,358,000 more than the Investment in Joint Ventures reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the lower basis in property contributed.

 

The amount of consolidated accumulated deficit for these joint ventures was $(2,895,000) and $(2,702,000) as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively.

 

 

(12) Discontinued Operations.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. These properties comprised substantially all the assets of our Asset Management segment and have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The results of operations associated with discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

(13) Subsequent Events.

 

This past quarter, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell 7030 Dorsey Road in Anne Arundel County, one of the three commercial properties remaining from the asset sale last May, for $8,823,000. The study period for the purchaser expired on April 15, 2019 at which time the property became classified as held for sale and we expect to close in the second quarter of 2019.

 

In July, 2018, the Gill Corporation sued the Company to enforce a right of first refusal to purchase a warehouse property that was scheduled to be sold to BRE Foxtrot Parent LLC for $11.7 million in the transaction that closed in June 2018. The suit also sought to require the Company to replace the roof or, in the alternative, for damages. Gill’s claim to enforce the right of first refusal has been dismissed, though the claim for roof replacement or damages remains pending. In light of the dismissal of the right of first refusal claim, BRE Foxtrot Parent has exercised its contractual right to purchase the property for $11.7 million, subject only to receipt of an estoppel letter from Gill addressing all matters other than the roof, and an updated survey and environmental report in acceptable form. This transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2019.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion includes a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to supplement the financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure discussed is net operating income (NOI). The Company uses this metric to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

 

Overview - FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in the real estate business, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement and development primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of a residential apartment building, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.

 

The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, construction activity and costs, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates, market conditions in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington DC area, and our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. Internal factors include administrative costs, success in leasing efforts and construction cost management.

 

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. These properties comprised substantially all the assets of our Asset Management segment and constituted a strategic shift for the Company and have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Asset Management Segment.

 

The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages four commercial properties.  These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings and closing costs related thereto and personnel costs of our property management team.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Asset Management Segment owned four commercial properties as follows:

1) 34 Loveton Circle in suburban Baltimore County, Maryland consists of one office building totaling 33,708 square feet which is 95.2% occupied (24% of the space is occupied by the Company for use as our Baltimore headquarters).

2) 7030 Dorsey Run Road in Howard County, Maryland consists of one office building totaling 63,122 square feet which was 67.9% occupied at March 31, 2019.

3) 155 E. 21st Street in Duval County, Florida was an office building property that remains under lease through March

2026. We permitted the tenant to demolish all structures on the property during 2018.

4) Cranberry Office Park consists of five office buildings totaling 268,010 square feet which are 26% occupied at March 31, 2019.

 

Management focuses on several factors to measure our success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) revenue growth, (2) net operating income, (3) growth in occupied square feet, (4) actual occupancy rate, (5) average annual occupied square feet, (6) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied square feet at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period), (7) growth of our portfolio (in square feet), and (8) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed).

 

Mining Royalty Lands Segment.

19 
 

 

Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials).  Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.  The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature of the construction markets in these states as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically where the reserves on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia which would positively benefit our profitability in this segment.  Our mining properties had estimated remaining reserves of 528 million tons as of December 31, 2018 after a total of 8.0 million tons were consumed in 2018.

 

The major expenses in this segment are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining locations, are not paid by the tenant.  As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, Cemex, Argos and The Concrete Company. 

 

Additionally, these locations provide us with excellent opportunities for valuable “second lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.

 

Significant “2nd life” Mining Lands: 

 

Location Acreage Status
Brooksville, Fl 4,280 +/- Development of Regional of Impact and County Land Use and Master Zoning in place for 5,800 residential unit, mixed-use development
Ft. Myers, FL 1,993 +/- Approval in place for 105, 1 acre, waterfront residential lots after mining completed.
Gulf Hammock, Fl 1,600 +/- Currently on the market
Total 7,873 +/-  

 

Development Segment.

 

Through our Development segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.  Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new commercial and residential buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development segment will purchase or form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.

 

Revenues in this segment are generated predominately from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction costs.

 

Since 1990, one of our primary strategies in this segment has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial/industrial business parks providing 5–15 building pads which we typically convert into warehouse/office buildings. To date, our management team has converted 29 of these pads into developed buildings. Our typical practice has been to transfer these assets to the Asset Management segment on the earlier to occur of (i) commencement of rental revenue or (ii) issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We have also occasionally sold several of these pad sites over time to third parties.

20 
 

 

Development Segment – Warehouse/Office Land.

 

At March 31, 2019 this segment owned the following future development parcels:

 

1)15 acres of horizontally developed land available for future construction of an additional 187,550 square feet of warehouse/office product at Lakeside Business Park in Harford County, Maryland.

 

2)33 acres of horizontally developed land including one 93,450-square-foot warehouse under construction for completion in the spring of 2019 and two or three lots available for 234,450 square feet of warehouse, office, hotel and flex buildings at Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, Maryland.

 

We will continue to actively monitor these submarkets where we have lots ready for construction and take advantage of the opportunities presented to us. We will also look for new parcels to place into development.

 

We have three properties that were either spun-off to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated third parties. These properties, as a result of our “highest and best use” studies, are being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, and in certain cases we are leasing these properties on an interim basis for an income stream while we wait for the development market to mature.

RIVERFRONT ON THE ANACOSTIA PHASES III-IV: This property consists of 2.5 acres on the Anacostia River and is immediately adjacent to the Washington National’s baseball park in the SE Central Business District of Washington, DC. Once zoned for industrial use and under a ground lease, this property is no longer under lease and has been rezoned for the construction of approximately 600,000 square feet of “mixed-use” development in two phases. See “Stabilized Joint Venture Segment” below for discussion on Phase I and Development Joint Ventures below for discussion of Phase II. Phases III and IV are slated for office, and hotel/residential buildings, respectively, all with permitted first floor retail uses.

 

On August 24, 2015, in anticipation of commencing construction of the new Frederick Douglass bridge at a location immediately to the west of the existing bridge, the District of Columbia filed a Declaration of Taking for a total of 7,390 square feet of permanent easement and a 5,022-square-foot temporary construction easement on land along the western boundary of the land that will ultimately hold Phase III and IV. Previously, the Company and the District had conceptually agreed to a land swap with no compensation that would have permitted the proposed new bridge, including construction easements, to be on property wholly owned by the District. As a result, the Planned Unit Development was designed and ultimately approved by the Zoning Commission as if the land swap would occur once the District was ready to move forward with the new bridge construction. In September 2016 the Company received $1,115,400 as settlement for the easement. The Company will continue to seek an agreement from the District that the existing bridge easement will terminate when the new bridge has been placed in service and the existing bridge has been removed. The Company’s position is that otherwise Phase IV will be adversely impacted, and additional compensation or other relief will be due the Company.

HAMPSTEAD TRADE CENTER: We purchased this 118-acre tract in 2005 for $4.3 million in a Section 1031 exchange with plans of developing it as a commercial business park. The “great recession” caused us to reassess our plans for this property. As a result, Management has determined that the prudent course of action is to attempt to rezone the property for residential uses and sell the entire tract to another developer such that we can redeploy this capital into assets with more near-term income producing potential. On December 22, 2018, The Town of Hampstead re-awarded FRP its request for rezoning with a 30-day appeal period. No appeal was filed, therefore, FRP can now move forward with its residential concept plan. We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for this 118-acre tract in Hampstead, Maryland, now known as “Hampstead Overlook”.

 

SQUARE 664E, WASHINGTON, DC: This property sits on the Anacostia River at the base of South Capitol Street in an area named Buzzard Point, approximately 1 mile down river from our RiverFront on the Anacostia property. The Square 664E property consists of approximately 2 acres and is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials for use as a concrete batch plant. The lease terminates on August 31, 2021 and Vulcan has the option to renew for one additional period of five (5) years. In July 2018, Audi Field, the home of the DC United professional soccer club, opened its doors to patrons in Buzzard Point. The 20,000-seat stadium hosts 17 home games each year in addition to other outdoor events. The stadium is separated from our property by just one small industrial lot and two side streets.

Brooksville Quarry, LLC.. In 2006, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of the property until 2032 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a 288-acre contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it leased from FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly controlled by Vulcan and FRP. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to the Company. Other income for the year ended March 31, 2019 includes a loss of $10,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss of this joint venture (not including FRP’s royalty revenues).

 

BC Realty, LLC (Windlass Run). In March 2016, we entered into an agreement with a Baltimore development company (St. John Properties, Inc.) to jointly develop the remaining lands of our Windlass Run Business Park. The 50/50 partnership initially calls for FRP to combine its 25 acres (valued at $7,500,000) with St. John Properties’ adjacent 10 acres fronting on a major state highway (valued at $3,239,536) which resulted in an initial cash distribution of $2,130,232 to FRP in May 2016. Thereafter, the venture will jointly develop the combined properties into a multi-

22 
 

building business park to consist of approximately 329,000 square feet of single-story office space. The project will take place in several phases, with construction of the first phase, which includes two office buildings and two retail buildings totaling 100,030-square-feet (inclusive of 27,950 retail), commenced in the fourth quarter of 2017 and projected to stabilize in the fourth quarter of 2020. The start of subsequent phases will follow with the final phase commencing in the 4th quarter of 2024. On September 28, 2017 BC FRP Realty, LLC obtained $17,250,000 of construction financing commitments for 4 buildings through September 15, 2022 from BB&T at 2.5% over LIBOR. The balance outstanding on these loans at March 31, 2019 was $10,110,000. The joint venture finished shell construction on its two office buildings in November 2018, while shell construction on the two retail buildings wrapped up in January 2019.

 

Essexshire Loan. On January 27, 2018 the Company entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire now known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $9.2 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which a “waterfall” determines the split of proceeds from sale. This project will hold 122 town homes and 4 single family lots and is currently in the entitlement process. The loan balance at March 31, 2019 was $755,000.

 

RiverFront Holdings II, LLC. On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP formed a Joint Venture to develop Phase II and closed on construction financing with Eagle Bank. Phase II on the Anacostia known as The Maren is a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports 264 residential units and 6,900 SF of retail. The Company has contributed its land with an agreed value of $16.3 million (cost basis of $4.6 million) and $6.2 million of cash. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to the formation of the joint venture and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate all of which was advanced through March 31, 2019. The loan from Eagle Bank allows draws of up to $71 million during construction at an interest rate of 3.25% over LIBOR. The loan is interest only and matures in 36 months with a 12-month extension assuming completion of construction and at least one occupancy. There is a provision for an additional 72 months extension with a 30-year amortization of principal at 2.15% over seven-year US Treasury Constant if NOI is sufficient for a 9% yield. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project. Construction began in April 2018, with substantial completion estimated in June 2020, and stabilization (meaning 90% of the individual apartments are leased and occupied by third party tenants) in late 2021.

 

Bryant Street Partnerships: On December 24, 2018 the Company and MRP formed 4 partnerships to purchase and develop approximately five acres of land at 500 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, D.C. This property is the first phase of the Bryant Street Master Plan. The property is located in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities development program as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This first phase is a mixed-use development which supports 487 residential units and 86,042 SF of first floor and stand-alone retail on approximately five acres of the roughly 12-acre site. The Company contributed cash of $32 million in exchange for a 61.36% common equity in the partnership. The Company also contributed cash of $23 million as preferred equity financing at 8.0% interest rate. The Company records interest income for this loan and a loss in equity in joint ventures for our 61.36% equity in the partnership. On March 13, 2019 the partnerships closed on a construction loan with a group of lenders for up to $132 million at an interest rate of 2.25% over LIBOR. The loan matures March 13, 2023 with up to two extension of one year each upon certain conditions. There were no draws on the loan through March 31, 2019. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as all the major decisions are shared equally. Construction is to begin in 2019, with substantial completion estimated in 2nd quarter 2021, and stabilization (meaning 90% of the individual apartments and retail are leased and occupied by third party tenants) in late 2022.

 

Stabilized Joint Venture Segment.

 

Currently the segment only includes one stabilized joint venture which owns, leases and manages one building, Dock 79. This asset creates revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, and reimbursements for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for property taxes, full service maintenance, property management, utilities, marketing and our management.

Dock 79. In 2014, approximately 2.1 acres (Phase I) of the total 5.8-acres was contributed to a joint venture owned by the Company (77%) and our partner, MRP Realty (23%), and construction commenced in October 2014 on a 305-unit residential apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space. Lease up commenced in May 2016 and rent stabilization of the residential units of 90% occupied was achieved in the third quarter of 2017. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company had, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”. The attainment of stabilization also results in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on a third-party opinion), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $60,196,000 of which $20,469,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. The Company used the fair value amount to calculate adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective July 1, 2017 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit-sharing arrangement and is 66.0% on a prospective basis. As of March 31, 2019, the residential units were 93.1% occupied and 94.8% leased, while retail units are 76% leased with just one space remaining.

Most of the Asset Management Segment was reclassified to discontinued operations leaving only three commercial properties and one recent industrial acquisition, Cranberry Run, which we purchased this quarter for $6,411,000. Cranberry Run is a five-building industrial park in Harford County, MD totaling 268,010 square feet of industrial/ flex space. The park is currently 26% leased and occupied, and it is our plan to make $1,455,000 in improvements in order to re-lease the property for a total investment of $29.35 per square foot. This past quarter, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell 7030 Dorsey Road in Anne Arundel County, one of the three commercial properties remaining from the asset sale last May, for $8,823,000. The study period for the purchaser expired April 15, 2019 and we expect to close in the second quarter of 2019. Total revenues in this segment were $641,000, up $60,000 or 10.3%, over the same period last year. Operating loss was ($66,000), down $322,000 compared to the same quarter last year due to higher allocation of corporate expenses and operating losses associated with the Cranberry Run acquisition.

Total revenues in this segment were $2,229,000 versus $1,772,000 in the same period last year. Total operating profit in this segment was $2,001,000, an increase of $460,000 versus $1,541,000 in the same period last year. Among the reasons for this increase in revenue and operating profit is the contribution from our Ft. Myers quarry, the revenue from which, now that mining has begun in earnest, was more than double the minimum royalty we have been receiving until recently.

The Development segment is responsible for (i) seeking out and identifying opportunistic purchases of income producing warehouse/office buildings, and (ii) developing our non-income producing properties into income production.

 

With respect to ongoing projects:

 

  • We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for our 118-acre tract in Hampstead, Maryland, now known as “Hampstead Overlook.” This past quarter, Hampstead Overlook received non-appealable rezoning from industrial to residential. 
  • We finished shell construction in December on the two office buildings in the first phase of our joint venture with St. John Properties.  Shell construction of the two retail buildings was completed in January. We are now in the process of leasing these four single-story buildings totaling 100,030 square feet of office and retail space. Phase I is currently 44% leased.
  • We are the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire known as “Hyde Park.”  We have committed up to $9.2 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which a “waterfall” determines the split of proceeds from sale.  Hyde Park will hold 122 town homes and 4 single family lots and received a non-appealable Plan Approval this past quarter. We are now in the process of obtaining record plat and construction drawing approval as well as seeking proposals from residential home builders. 
  • 26 
     
  • During the second quarter of 2018, we began construction on a 94,350-square foot spec building at Hollander Business Park.  This Class “A” facility is our first building with a 32-foot clear. Shell construction was completed subsequent to the end of the quarter and we are now in the process of leasing up the building.
  • In April, we began construction on Phase II of our RiverFront on the Anacostia project, now known as “The Maren.”  We expect to deliver the building in the first half of 2020.
  • In December 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with MidAtlantic Realty Partners (MRP) for the development of the first phase of a multifamily, mixed-use development in northeast Washington, DC known as “Bryant Street.”  FRP contributed $32 million for common equity and another $23 million for preferred equity to the joint venture. Construction began in February 2019 and should be finished in 2021.

 

Stabilized Joint Venture Segment Results

 

Highlights of the Three Months ended March 31, 2019:

 

  • Beginning July 1, 2017, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture and established the RiverFront on the Anacostia segment as its fourth segment. FRP’s share of prior period results are included in the line Equity in loss of joint ventures in the Company’s overall Consolidated Statements of Income.

Average occupancy for the quarter was 93.49%, and at the end of the quarter Dock 79 was 94.75% leased and 93.11% occupied. During the first quarter, 61.70% of expiring leases renewed with an average increase in rent of 3.14%. Net Operating Income for this segment was $1,630,679, up $145,282 or 9.78% compared to the same quarter last year. Dock 79 is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 66% ownership. Depreciation and amortization decreased $956,000 compared to the same quarter last year due to lower amortization of in-place lease intangible values allocated upon consolidation in July 2017.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs to acquire and develop land or operating buildings and to construct new buildings and tenant improvements. As of March 31, 2019, we had $29,641,000 of cash and cash equivalents along with $148,778,000 of investments available for sale. As of March 31, 2019, we had no debt borrowed under our $20 million Wells Fargo revolver, $1,740,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $18,260,000 available to borrow under the revolver. In November 2017, we secured $90 million in permanent financing for Dock 79 from EagleBank, the proceeds of which were used to pay off $79 million of construction and mezzanine debt. The remainder was distributed pari passu between the Company and our partners.

 

Cash Flows - The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each of the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

    Three months  
    Ended March 31,  
    2019   2018  
Total cash provided by (used for):            
Operating activities $ 3,250     5,325  
Investing activities   5,813     (1,548 )
Financing activities   (1,969   (1,340 )
Increase in cash and cash equivalents $ 7,094     2,437  
             
 Outstanding debt at the beginning of the period $ 88,789     118,317  
 Outstanding debt at the end of the period $ 88,823     117,231  

 

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $3,250,000 versus $5,325,000 in the same period last year. Net cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations was $150,000. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was higher primarily due to a $1,505,000 decrease in Federal and state income taxes.

 

Investing Activities - Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $5,813,000 versus cash used in investing activities of $1,548,000 in the same period last year due primarily to the proceeds on the sale investments available for sale offset by the purchase of investments available for sale, the acquisition of Cranberry Business Park, and the preferred equity contribution to the RiverFront Holdings II joint venture.

 

At March 31, 2019 the Company was invested in 48 corporate bonds with individual maturities ranging from 2020

through 2022. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $1,125,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The Company did realize a gain of $119,000 in its net investment income related to bond sales in the first quarter of 2019.

 

Financing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities was $1,969,000 versus $1,340,000 in the same period last year due primarily due to the increased purchase of company stock in first quarter and the repayment of long-term debt in the prior year.

 

Credit Facilities - On February 6, 2019 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo”), effective February 6, 2019. The Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, dated January 30, 2015. The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) with a maximum facility amount of $20 million. The interest rate under the Credit Agreement will be a maximum of 1.50% over LIBOR, which may be reduced quarterly to 1.25% or 1.0% over LIBOR if the Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment but the amount may be reduced to 0.20% or 0.15% if the Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of March 31, 2019, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $209 million combined.

 

On November 17, 2017, Riverfront Holdings I, LLC (the "Joint Venture") refinanced the Dock 79 project pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank ("Loan Documents"). The Joint Venture, which was formed between the Company and MRP in 2014 in connection with the development of the Riverfront on the Anacostia property, borrowed a principal sum of $90,000,000 in connection with the refinancing. The loan is secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and has a term of 120 months. During the first 48 months of the loan term, the Joint Venture will make monthly payments of interest only, and thereafter, make monthly payments of principal and interest in equal installments based upon a 30-year amortization period. The loan is a non-recourse loan. However, all amounts due under the Loan Documents will become immediately due upon an event of default by the Joint Venture, such events including, without limitation, Joint Venture's (i) failure to: pay, permit inspections or observe covenants under the Loan Documents, (ii) breach of

28 
 

representations made under the Loan Documents (iii) voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, and (iv) dissolution, or the dissolution of the guarantor. MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC, an affiliate of MRP, has executed a carve-out guaranty in connection with the loan.

 

Cash Requirements – The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise. As of March 31, 2019, $7,436,000 was authorized for future repurchases of common stock. The Company does not currently pay any cash dividends on common stock.

 

The Company currently expects its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2019 to include approximately $6,848,000 for real estate development including investments in joint ventures, which will be funded mostly out of cash and investments on hand, cash generated from operations and property sales, or borrowings under our credit facilities.

 

Summary and Outlook. We began this year a very different company than we were at the start of 2018. The asset sale of nearly a year ago has dramatically reshaped the landscape of our business and our direction forward. The disposition of over 40 buildings, the infrastructure required to support it, and the cash we retained from that disposition has shifted our focus towards development as the number of ongoing projects in our development segment demonstrates. Despite or maybe because of the lack of consensus regarding economic forecasts, indicators, and the volatility of markets, we believe we are in an enviable financial position given our current liquidity. Though we, like any other company, would stand to benefit from the rising tide of this nearly unprecedented stretch of economic growth, the cash and investments on our balance sheet allow us to play defense and protect our assets should a downturn present itself as our projects are coming online, while also allowing us to play offense should that same downturn create opportunities to grow our business segments via attractively priced acquisitions. It is because we prize this liquidity so much, that we remain steadfast in our commitment to redeploy these proceeds as carefully as we possibly can. The substantial amount of dry powder retained from the sale affords this company an amazing opportunity that we are loathe to squander. We have some of the best assets in the business segments in which we compete, as demonstrated by another amazing quarter from our mining royalties segment and the continued ability to grow rents at Dock 79, and we will not make any further investments unless they fall in line with the quality of assets and opportunities of your company as it is situated presently. To that end, we have been repurchasing shares of the Company when we believe it is underpriced. This past quarter we repurchased 35,932 shares at an average cost of $47.71.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

 

To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, FRP presents certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this quarterly report is net operating income (NOI). FRP uses this non-GAAP financial measure to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.

 

Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at March 31, 2019 was LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.

 

The Company did not have any variable rate debt at March 31, 2019, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

 

All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

As of March 31, 2019, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO

30 
 

concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. LEGAL MATTERS

 

In July, 2018, the Gill Corporation sued the Company to enforce a right of first refusal to purchase a warehouse property that was scheduled to be sold to BRE Foxtrot Parent LLC for $11.7 million in the transaction that closed in June 2018. The suit also sought to require the Company to replace the roof or, in the alternative, for damages. Gill’s claim to enforce the right of first refusal has been dismissed, though the claim for roof replacement or damages remains pending. In light of the dismissal of the right of first refusal claim, BRE Foxtrot Parent has exercised its contractual right to purchase the property for $11.7 million, subject only to receipt of an estoppel letter from Gill addressing all matters other than the roof, and an updated survey and environmental report in acceptable form. This transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2019.
