Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SB Partners, a New York limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership" or the “Registrant”), have been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating, and holding for investment a varying portfolio of real estate interests. SB Partners Real Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner of the Partnership.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
For a discussion of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies of the Partnership, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
(2) INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

The Partnership’s wholly owned property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota is 100% leased to a single tenant to October 31, 2024. The tenant pays fixed base rent which increases approximately 3% each year. The tenant pays directly or reimburses Registrant for all utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property operating expenses and property management fees.
(3) ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
● |
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
● |
Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or quoted prices in less active dealer or broker markets; |
● |
Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable. |
The following major categories of assets were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Omaha was precluded from making distributions to its investors until its unsecured loan was paid in full. During the first quarter of 2018, Omaha sold its garden apartment property in Asheville, North Carolina and its garden apartment property in Fresno, California. Net sales proceeds were used first to paying selling expenses and to pay off the mortgage securing each property. Remaining proceeds were used to fully retire the remaining balance of Omaha’s unsecured loan. Registrant as of March 31, 2018 had reduced the reserve to 20%. On October 16, 2018 Sentinel Omaha paid a distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $2,400,000. The Partnership used these funds to retire the Partnership’s unsecured loan.
(4) INVESTMENT IN SENTINEL OMAHA, LLC
In 2007, the Partnership made an investment in the amount of $37,200,000 in Sentinel Omaha, LLC (“Omaha”). Omaha is a real estate investment company which as of March 31, 2019 owns eight multifamily properties in five markets. Omaha is an affiliate of the Registrant’s general partner. The investment represents a 30% ownership interest in Omaha.
The following are the condensed financial statements (000’s omitted) of Omaha as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

On October 4, 2018, the Partnership retired the unsecured loan. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $3,554,011 and $3,408,317, respectively of investment management fees have been accrued and are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.
(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 11, 2019, Sentinel Omaha paid a distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $5,100,000. On April 16, 2019, the general partner declared a distribution of $400 per full unit for all partners holding units or participations on May 31, 2019. The distribution will be paid in June 2019.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS | ||
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018 |
General
The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect the operation of one wholly owned industrial flex property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota and a 30% interest in Omaha.
Registrant’s wholly owned property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota is 100% leased to a single tenant to October 31, 2024. The tenant pays fixed base rent which increases approximately 3% each year. The tenant pays directly or reimburses Registrant for all utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property operating expenses and property management fees.
Sentinel Omaha LLC’s portfolio consisted of eight garden apartment properties located in five markets. Leases generally are for one year or less. Tenants generally pay fixed rent plus utilities used by tenant. On April 6, 2019, Omaha sold its garden apartment property in Independence, Missouri. Net sales proceeds were used to first pay selling expenses and retire the property’s related secured mortgage loan. On May 6, 2019, Omaha sold its garden apartment property in Columbus, Ohio. Net sales proceeds were used to pay selling expenses and were used to retire Omaha’s secured mortgage loan encumbering its garden apartment property located in Charleston, South Carolina to further pay down Omaha’s debt.
Results of Operations
Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $4,000 to approximately $278,000 as compared to approximately $274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total revenues increased due to an increase in base rental income. Base rental income increased $6,000 to approximately $190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 due to a scheduled increase in base rent at Registrant’s property located in Maple Grove, MN. Other rental income increased slightly. Interest income decreased due to a decrease in cash reserves.
The Registrant reported a net loss from operations of approximately $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $12,000 as compared to a net loss from operations of approximately $126,000 for the same period in 2018. Net loss from operations consists of net income from the Maple Grove property offset by partnership income and expenses. The increase of loss from operations was due to higher total expenses partially offset by higher total income. Total expenses from operations for 2019 increased $16,000 to approximately $416,000 from approximately $400,000 in 2018, due primarily to an increase in management fee expense of $26,000 combined with an increase in administration expenses of $7,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense of $9,000, a decrease of mortgage amortization expense of $5,000 and a decrease in depreciation expense of $4,000.
The Registrant has a 30% non-controlling interest in Omaha that is accounted for on a fair value basis. Net increase in net assets decreased $2,342,000 to approximately $1,363,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net increase in net assets of approximately $3,705,000 for the same period in 2018. During 2018, Omaha sold its garden apartment property in Asheville, North Carolina, its garden apartment property in Fresno, California and its high rise apartment property located in Omaha, Nebraska. Net sales proceeds in each transaction were used to first pay selling expenses and retire each property’s related secured mortgage loan. Remaining net sales proceeds were used to retire Omaha’s unsecured loan and were used to retire Omaha’s secured mortgage loan encumbering its garden apartment property located in Columbus, Ohio to further pay down Omaha’s debt. Retirement of the unsecured loan removed certain restrictions placed on Omaha by the lender including making distributions to its members including Registrant. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Omaha reported a slight net decrease in the value of its remaining real estate portfolio of $1,151,000.
During 2018 the variable rates on Omaha loans increased as short term LIBOR rates increased. The one month LIBOR rate increased from an average of (1.4925%) during December 2017 to an average of (2.4582%) during December 2018. The one month LIBOR rate increased slightly to an average of (2.4898) during March 2019. Fixed mortgage interest rates for multi-family properties of similar class and location as Omaha’s portfolio also increased during 2018 from an approximate range of 4.35% to 4.50% near the end of 2017 to 5.05% to 5.10% near the end of 2018. Fixed mortgage interest rates have remained flat during 2019. Although increases in fixed mortgage rates do not impact the operating cash flow of the Omaha properties directly, increases in fixed and floating rates on commercial mortgage debt can have a negative impact on capitalization rates and the sales prices Sentinel Omaha may achieve in the future.
The investment in a 30% non-controlling interest is valued at a discount due to the lack of liquidity and ownership of a non-controlling (minority) interest. Registrant has reported a reserve on the value of Omaha on its books of 20% since March 31, 2018.
On April 11, 2019, Sentinel Omaha paid a distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $5,100,000. On April 16, 2019, the general partner declared a distribution of $400 per full unit for all partners holding units or participations on May 31, 2019. The distribution will be paid in June 2019.

There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that Registrant believes will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2019, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $374,000. These balances are approximately $36,000 higher than cash and cash equivalents held on December 31, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents increased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to cash flow generated from operating activities at Registrant’s wholly owned property partially offset by partnership expenses paid.
Currently, Registrant’s only consistent source of cash is rental income received from the tenant that leases 100% of the leasable space at Registrant’s wholly owned property in Maple Grove. The tenant reimburses Registrant for real estate taxes, insurance and most of the properties’ operating expenses leaving a significant portion of the base rent received available to fund capital improvements and partnership administrative expenses.
Registrant pays the General Partner and an affiliate of the General Partner fees for services performed. A portion of the fees during 2011 to 2018 were accrued while Registrant’s unsecured loan was outstanding. Since the unsecured loan has been retired, Registrant is allowed to pay the accrued fees and current fees. However, Registrant anticipates cash flow generated from the property located in Maple Grove and current cash reserves will not be sufficient to pay ongoing operating and capital improvement costs, other working capital requirements of the Registrant and current and accrued fees due to the General Partner and its affiliates. A portion of the fees due to the General Partner and its affiliate may be accrued until Registrant receives distributions from Omaha or Registrant’s wholly owned property is sold. The Registrant has no debt except normal trade accounts payable and accrued investment management fees.
During the quarter, inflation and changing prices did not significantly affect the markets in which the Registrant conducts its business, or the Registrant's business overall.
On April 11, 2019, Sentinel Omaha paid a distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $5,100,000. On April 16, 2019, the general partner declared a distribution of $400 per full unit for all partners holding units or participations on May 31, 2019. The distribution will be paid in June 2019.
Eagle Lake Business Center IV (Maple Grove, Minnesota)
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $7,000 to approximately $278,000 as compared to approximately $271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The property reported higher base rental income and higher other rental income. Base rental income was higher in 2019 due to a scheduled increase in the base rent. Net operating income, which includes deductions for depreciation, increased $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to approximately $180,000 from approximately $161,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due primarily to higher total revenues combined with lower operating expenses. Operating expenses were lower due to lower repairs and maintenance expense and depreciation expense.

Fair Value Measurement and Measurement Inputs, Recurring and Nonrecurring [Text Block] | ( 3 ) ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUEThe accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
The following major categories of assets were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 ) during the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
Omaha was precluded from making distributions to its investors until its unsecured loan was paid in full. During the first quarter of 2018, Omaha sold its garden apartment property in Asheville, North Carolina and its garden apartment property in Fresno, California. Net sales proceeds were used first to paying selling expenses and to pay off the mortgage securing each property. Remaining proceeds were used to fully retire the remaining balance of Omaha’s unsecured loan. Registrant as of March 31, 2018 had reduced the reserve to 20%. On October 16, 2018 Sentinel Omaha paid a distribution to the Partnership in the amount of $2,400,000. The Partnership used these funds to retire the Partnership’s unsecured loan. |
