Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flows:

Interest totaling approximately $809,000 was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. No interest was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. No interest was capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 or 2019.

During April 2020, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap (hereinafter defined in Note 10, “Interest Rate Swap”) agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for $50 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as discussed in Note 9, “Long-Term Debt.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Interest Rate Swap value decreased by approximately $619,000. This non-cash transaction is reflected as an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities and as a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

BUSINESS

Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “PINE”) is a real estate company that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of single-tenant commercial properties. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Our portfolio consists of 45 single-tenant, primarily net leased retail and office properties located in 32 markets in 17 states. All of the properties in our portfolio are subject to long-term, primarily triple-net leases, which generally require the tenant to pay all of the property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures.

The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (our “Manager”). CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE American: CTO) is a Florida corporation that is a publicly traded, diversified real estate operating company and the sole member of our Manager (“CTO”).

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets, and in many industries, business activity has experienced periods of almost complete shutdown. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.

The Company collected 100% of the Contractual Base Rent due for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Contractual Base Rent (“CBR”) represents the amount owed to the Company under the current terms of its lease agreements. The Company has previously agreed to defer or abate certain CBRs in exchange for additional lease term or other lease enhancing additions that equated to approximately 6% of contractual rents. Additionally, the portfolio remains 100% occupied as of September 30, 2020. In general, the repayment of the deferred CBR began in the third quarter of 2020, with ratable payments continuing, in some cases, through the end of 2021. The Company has not yet reached an agreement with a tenant responsible for approximately 2% of CBR due during the three months ended June 30, 2020, however, this tenant has made 100% of its CBR payments due for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 17, “Subsequent Events” for the Company’s disclosure related to October 2020 rent collections.

An assessment of the current or identifiable potential financial and operational impacts on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic are as follows:

When the pandemic was declared, given the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the impact on the capital markets, the U.S. economy, and PINE’s tenants, the Company temporarily suspended its activities directed at identifying additional acquisition opportunities. Towards the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Company reached agreements with tenants for rent deferrals and abatements and the Company completed the acquisition of two properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $28.6 million. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of fifteen properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.9 million, for total year-to-date acquisitions of approximately $99.3 million.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the federal government and the State of Florida issued orders encouraging everyone to remain at their residence and not go into work. In response to these orders and in the best interest of our Manager’s employees and our directors, our Manager implemented significant preventative

Table of Contents

measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees and our Board of Directors (the “Board”), including: conducting all meetings of our Board and Committees of the Board telephonically or via a visual conferencing service, permitting its employees to work from home at their election, enforcing appropriate social distancing practices in our Manager’s office, encouraging its employees to wash their hands often and use face masks and providing hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products throughout their office, requiring its employees who do not feel well, in any capacity, to stay at home, and requiring all third-party delivery services (e.g. mail, food delivery, etc.) to complete their service outside the front door of its offices. Our Manager also offered COVID-19 testing to its employees in our Manager’s office to ensure a safe working environment.

ORGANIZATION

 

The Company is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 19, 2019. On November 26, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of its common stock (the “Offering”) as well as a concurrent private placement of shares of common stock to CTO. Net proceeds from the Offering and the concurrent CTO Private Placement (defined below) were used to purchase 15 single-tenant properties from CTO. Additionally, CTO contributed to Alpine Income Property OP, LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), five additional single-tenant properties in exchange for operating partnership units (“OP Units”).

The price per share paid in the Offering and the concurrent private placement was $19.00 (the “IPO Price”). The Offering raised $142.5 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock. We also raised $7.5 million from the concurrent private placement to CTO from the issuance of 394,737 shares of our common stock (“CTO Private Placement”). Included in the $142.5 million Offering was CTO’s purchase of 421,053 shares of our common stock for $8.0 million, representing a cash investment by CTO of $15.5 million. Approximately $125.9 million of proceeds from the Offering were utilized to acquire 15 properties in our initial portfolio. The remaining five properties in our initial portfolio were contributed by CTO in exchange for 1,223,854 OP Units of the Operating Partnership for a value of approximately $23.3 million based on the IPO Price. The Company incurred a total of approximately $12.0 million of transaction costs, which included underwriting fees of approximately $9.4 million. Upon completion of the Offering, the concurrent CTO Private Placement, and the other transactions executed at the time of our listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “PINE” (collectively defined as the “Formation Transactions”), CTO owned approximately 22.3% of our outstanding common stock (assuming the OP Units issued to CTO in the Formation Transactions are exchanged for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis).

We conduct the substantial majority of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpine Income Property GP, LLC (“PINE GP”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2020, we have a total ownership interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 85.9%, with CTO holding, directly and indirectly, a 14.1% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Our interest in the Operating Partnership generally entitles us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership. We, through PINE GP, generally have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain approval and voting rights of the limited partners. Our Board manages our business and affairs.

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”) commencing with its short taxable year beginning on November 26, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income, without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain, to its stockholders (which is computed and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Even if the Company

10

qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

For the periods prior to November 26, 2019, the accompanying combined financial statements of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) do not represent the financial position and results of operations of one legal entity, but rather a combination of entities under common control that have been “carved out” from CTO’s consolidated financial statements. Historically, financial statements of the Predecessor have not been prepared as it has not operated separately from CTO. These combined financial statements reflect the revenues and expenses of the Predecessor and include certain material assets and liabilities of CTO that are specifically identifiable and generated through, or associated with, an in-place net lease, which have been reflected at CTO’s historical basis.

 

For periods subsequent to November 26, 2019, the accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated statements of PINE together with our consolidated subsidiaries. As a result of the Company’s acquisitions of the initial portfolio from CTO, the consolidated financial statements subsequent to November 26, 2019 are presented on a new basis of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10, Business Combinations.

 The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The combined financial statements for the periods prior to November 26, 2019 include an allocation of general and administrative expenses to the Predecessor from CTO. In addition, general and administrative expenses include an allocation of the costs of certain CTO corporate functions, including executive oversight, treasury, finance, human resources, tax compliance and planning, internal audit, financial reporting, information technology, and investor relations. General and administrative expenses (including stock-based compensation) for periods prior to November 26, 2019 represent a pro rata allocation of costs from CTO based on the revenues of the Predecessor as a percentage of CTO’s total revenue. The Company believes the allocation methodology for general and administrative expenses for periods prior to November 26, 2019 is reasonable. However, the allocated general and administrative expense presented in our combined statements of operations for periods prior to November 26, 2019 does not necessarily reflect what our general and administrative expenses will be as a stand-alone public company for reporting periods subsequent to November 26, 2019. Additionally, most of the Predecessor entities included in CTO’s financial statements did not have separately established bank accounts for the periods presented, and most cash transactions were historically transacted through bank accounts owned by CTO. The combined statements of cash flows for the periods presented were prepared as if operating, investing, and financing transactions had been transacted through separate bank accounts of the Predecessor. The combined financial statements include, on a carve-out basis, the historical balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows attributed to the Predecessor.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

For periods subsequent to November 26, 2019, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. For periods prior to November 26, 2019, the combined financial statements include, on a carve-out basis, the historical balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows of the Predecessor.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Among other factors, fluctuating market conditions that can exist in the national real estate markets and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets make it possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to PINE’s investment in income properties, could change materially due to continued volatility in the real estate and financial markets, or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

REAL ESTATE

 

The Company’s real estate assets are primarily comprised of the income properties in its portfolio, and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Such income properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the applicable income property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $1.7 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $946,000 and $2.6 million, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment in conducting its impairment analyses. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, an income property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment of long-lived assets is measured at fair value less cost to sell.

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE SUBJECT TO A LEASE

 

Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company determines whether the transaction is a business combination, which is accounted for under the acquisition method, or an acquisition of assets. For both types of transactions, the Company recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree based on their relative fair values. For business combinations, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase, if applicable, and acquisition-related costs in the periods in which the costs are incurred. For acquisitions of assets, acquisition-related costs are capitalized on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. If the

12


Table of Contents

Company acquires real estate and simultaneously enters into a new lease of the real estate, the acquisition will be accounted for as an asset acquisition.

 

In accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values.

 

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets.

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless management believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease upon expiration, in which case both the Company and the Predecessor amortize the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

 

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.

 

INCOME PROPERTY LEASE REVENUE

 

The rental arrangements associated with the Company’s income property portfolio are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, contractual lease payment increases are recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The periodic difference between lease income recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms (i.e., straight-line rent) is recorded as a deferred operating lease receivable and is included in straight-line rent adjustment on the accompanying consolidated  balance sheets.

 

The collectability of tenant receivables and straight-line rent adjustments is determined based on, among other things, the aging of the tenant receivable, management’s evaluation of credit risk associated with the tenant and industry of the tenant, and a review of specifically identified accounts using judgment. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

 

SALES TAX

 

Sales tax collected on lease payments is recognized as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets when collected. The liability is reduced at the time payment is remitted to the applicable taxing authority.

Table of Contents

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is reported at Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which represents valuation based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY

Effective April 30, 2020, in conjunction with the variable-rate Credit Facility (hereinafter defined in Note 9, “Long-Term Debt”), the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap to fix the interest rate on $50 million of the outstanding Credit Facility balance (the “Interest Rate Swap”). The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivative in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the Interest Rate Swap’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivative is included in either other assets or accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date the Interest Rate Swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.

The Company formally documented the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. At the Interest Rate Swap’s inception, the Company formally assessed whether the derivative that is used in hedging the transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item, and we will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. As the terms of the Interest Rate Swap and the associated debt are identical, the hedging instrument qualifies for the shortcut method, therefore, it is assumed that there is no hedge ineffectiveness throughout the entire term of the hedging instrument.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instrument that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Credit Facility approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

14


Table of Contents

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption that the OP Units issued to CTO in the Formation Transactions are exchanged for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its short taxable year beginning on November 26, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. The Company believes that, commencing with such short taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. The Company may form one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), which will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the periods presented, the Company did not have any TRSs that would be subject to taxation.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company adopted the Individual Equity Incentive Plan (the “Individual Plan”) and the Manager Equity Incentive Plan (the “Manager Plan”), which are collectively referred to herein as the Equity Incentive Plans. The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plans is to provide equity incentive opportunities to members of the Manager’s management team and employees who perform services for the Company, the Company’s independent directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel, either individually or via grants of incentive equity to the Manager. The Equity Incentive Plans provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), stock awards, restricted stock units, cash awards, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, including long-term incentive plan units, and incentive awards. The Individual Plan is intended to provide a means through which the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates, as well as employees of the Manager and its affiliates who are providing services to the Company and its affiliates, can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company or be paid incentive compensation. The Manager Plan is intended to provide a means through which the Manager and its affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the Company, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

A total of 684,494 shares of our common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plans. If an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plans expires, is forfeited or terminates, the shares of common stock subject to any portion of the award that expires, is forfeited or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards. Shares of stock (i) surrendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price or taxes related to an award and (ii) covered by a SAR (without regard to the number of shares actually issued upon the exercise of such SAR) will not again be available for award under the Equity Incentive Plans. Unless previously terminated by the Board, no new award may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plans after November 18, 2029. The maximum aggregate compensation, including cash compensation and the grant date fair value of

15


Table of Contents

awards granted under the Individual Plan, to a non-employee director will not exceed $300,000 in any single calendar year.

 Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of operations. Award forfeitures, if any, are accounted for in the period in which they occur.

For the periods prior to November 26, 2019, Predecessor’s stock-based compensation expense, included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflected an allocation of a portion of the stock compensation expense of CTO for the applicable period.

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Certain of the tenants in the portfolio of 45 single-tenant properties accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the properties leased to Wells Fargo Bank, NA and Hilton Grand Vacations represented approximately 20% and 13% of total revenues, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the properties leased to Wells Fargo Bank, NA and Hilton Grand Vacations represented approximately 26% and 17% of total revenues, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately 19% and 29%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the State of Florida. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, approximately 14% and 24%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the State of Oregon. Additionally, as of September 30, 2020, individually more than 10% of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the States of  North Carolina and Michigan. As of December 31, 2019, individually more than 10% of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the States of Georgia and North Carolina. Uncertainty of the duration of a prolonged real estate and economic downturn could in any or all of these geographic areas have an adverse impact on the Company’s real estate values.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Lease Modifications. In April 2020, the FASB issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In this guidance, entities can elect not to apply lease modification accounting with respect to such lease concessions and, instead, treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract. This guidance is only applicable to lease concessions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company elected to not apply lease modification accounting with respect to rent deferrals as the concessions were related to COVID-19 and there was not a substantial increase in the lessor’s rights under the lease agreement. Accordingly, for leases in which deferred rent agreements were reached, the Company has continued to account for the lease by recognizing the normal straight-line rental income and as the deferred rents are repaid by the tenant, the straight-line receivable will be reduced. The portion of the straight-line adjustment related to COVID-19 concessions has been reflected separately in the Company’s statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. With respect to rent abatement agreements, lease modification accounting applies as an extended term was a part of such agreements, accordingly the Company re-calculated straight-line rental income for such leases to recognize over the new lease term.

ASC Topic 842, Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)  2016-02, which requires entities to recognize assets and liabilities that arise from financing and operating leases and to classify those finance and operating lease payments in the financing or operating sections, respectively, of the statement of cash flows pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

16


Table of Contents

During the Company’s and Predecessor’s evaluation of FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, the following practical expedients and accounting policies with respect to ASC 842 were elected and/or adopted effective January 1, 2019:

 

The Company, as lessor, will not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases or (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

The Company, as lessor, will not separate nonlease components from lease components and, instead, will account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease as a single component if the nonlease components otherwise would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The primary reason for this election is related to instances where common area maintenance is, or may be, a component of base rent within a lease agreement.

NOTE 4. INCOME PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s income property portfolio consisted of 45 single-tenant properties with total square footage of approximately 1.5 million.

Leasing revenue consists of long-term rental revenue from retail and office income properties, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease.

The components of leasing revenue are as follows:

 2020 Activity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company acquired twenty six single-tenant income properties for a purchase price of approximately $99.3 million, or an acquisition cost of approximately $100.3 million including capitalized acquisition costs. Of the total acquisition cost, approximately $25.8 million was allocated to land, approximately $59.7 million was allocated to buildings and improvements, approximately $16.1 million was allocated to intangible assets pertaining to the in-place lease value, leasing fees, and above market lease value, and approximately $1.3 million was allocated to intangible liabilities for the below market lease value. The weighted average amortization period for the intangible assets and liabilities was approximately 10.2 years at acquisition.

(1)Effective April 30, 2020, the Company utilized an Interest Rate Swap to achieve a fixed interest rate of 0.48% plus the applicable spread on approximately $50 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility.

Credit Facility. On November 26, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the maximum aggregate initial original principal amount of up to $100 million and includes an accordion feature that may allow the Operating Partnership to increase the availability under the Credit Facility by an additional $50 million, subject to meeting specified requirements and obtaining additional commitments from lenders. BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Raymond James Bank, N.A. are joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) as administrative agent. The Credit Facility has a base term of four years, with the ability to extend the base term for one year. 

On October 16, 2020, the Company executed the second amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”), with the addition of two lenders, Huntington National Bank and Truist Bank, respectively. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $150 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $200 million during the term, utilizing an accordion feature, subject to lender approval.

21


Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points, based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Operating Partnership, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

 The Operating Partnership is subject to customary restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, limitations on the Operating Partnership’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants covering the Operating Partnership, including but not limited to, tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios. In addition, the Operating Partnership is subject to additional financial maintenance covenants as described in the Credit Agreement. On June 30, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement with the lenders whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms.

 

At September 30, 2020, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $100 million and the Company had an outstanding balance of $88.3 million. With the increase in the commitment level on October 16, 2020 to $150 million, the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, which was limited based on the level of borrowing base assets, was $46.5 million.

Long-term debt as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of the following:

These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Credit Facility and are included in interest expense in the Company’s accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. As of December 31, 2019, these costs were reflected as deferred expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as there was no outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019.

NOTE 10. INTEREST RATE SWAP

During April 2020, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for $50.0 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as discussed in Note 9, “Long-Term Debt.” During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Interest Rate Swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the Interest Rate Swap has been included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2020, the fair value of our Interest Rate Swap agreement, which was a loss of approximately $619,000, was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Interest Rate Swap was effective on April 30, 2020 and matures on November 26, 2024. The Interest Rate Swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $50.0 million to a fixed rate of 0.48% plus the applicable spread.

NOTE 11. EQUITY

PREDECESSOR EQUITY

 

The Predecessor equity represents net contributions from and distributions to CTO. Most of the entities included in the Predecessor’s financial statements did not have bank accounts for the periods presented and most cash transactions for the Predecessor were transacted through bank accounts owned by CTO and are included in the Predecessor equity.

 

DIVIDENDS

 

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its short taxable year beginning on November 26, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the REIT. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its common stock and OP Units of $0.20 and $0.60 per share, respectively. See Note 17, “Subsequent Events” for disclosure related to the fourth quarter 2020 dividend.

Table of Contents

NOTE 12. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are determined based on the assumption of the conversion of OP Units on a one-for-one basis using the treasury stock method at average market prices for the periods.

NOTE 13. SHARE REPURCHASES

In March 2020, the Board approved a $5 million stock repurchase program (the “$5 Million Repurchase Program”). During the first half of 2020, the Company repurchased 456,237 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of approximately $5 million, or an average price per share of $11.02 which completed the $5 Million Repurchase Program.

NOTE 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the closing of the IPO, on November 26, 2019, the Company granted restricted shares of common stock to each of the non-employee directors under the Individual Plan. Each of the non-employee directors received an award of 2,000 restricted shares of common stock on November 26, 2019. The restricted shares will vest in substantially equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, the restricted shares are subject to a holding period beginning on the grant date and ending on the date that the grantee ceases to serve as a member of the Board (the “Holding Period”). During the Holding Period, the restricted shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by the grantee. Except for the grant of these 8,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, the Company has not made any grants under the Equity Incentive Plans. Any future grants under the Equity Incentive Plans will be approved by the independent members of the compensation committee of the Board. The 2019 non-employee director share awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $150,000. The Company’s determination of the grant date fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized stock compensation expense totaling approximately $13,000 and $38,000, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of September 30, 2020, there was approximately $108,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the three-year vest restricted shares, which will be recognized over a remaining period of 2.2 years.

 

Each member of the Board has the option to receive his or her annual retainer in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director by the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled approximately $163,000, or 10,986 shares, of which 4,098 shares were issued on April 1, 2020, 3,414 shares were issued on July 1, 2020 and 3,474 shares were issued on October 1, 2020.

Stock compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 is summarized as follows:

(1)Director retainers are issued through additional paid in capital in arrears. Therefore, the change in additional paid in capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is equal to total stock compensation expense of $201,000, less the $54,000 of third quarter 2020 director retainers, as those shares were issued on October 1, 2020, plus the fourth quarter 2019 director retainers of $24,000, as those shares were issued on January 2, 2020.

 

For the periods prior to November 26, 2019, Predecessor’s stock-based compensation expense, included in general and administrative expenses in the combined statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflected an allocation of a portion of the stock compensation expense of CTO for the applicable periods.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY

We are externally managed by the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. In addition to the CTO Private Placement, CTO purchased from us $8 million in shares of our common stock, or 421,053 shares, in our IPO. Upon completion of our IPO, CTO Private Placement, and the other transactions in the Formation Transactions, CTO owned approximately 22.3% of our outstanding common stock (assuming the OP Units issued to CTO in the Formation Transactions are exchanged for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis).

 

On November 26, 2019, we entered into the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager manages, operates and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of our Board and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by our Board. Our Manager is subject to the direction and oversight of our Board. We pay our Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.

 

25


Table of Contents

Our Manager has the ability to earn an annual incentive fee based on our total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. We would pay our Manager an incentive fee to with respect to each annual measurement period in the amount of the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares.

 

The initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on November 26, 2024 and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

Our independent directors will review our Manager’s performance and the management fees annually and, following the initial term, the Management Agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our independent directors or upon a determination by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based upon (i) unsatisfactory performance that is materially detrimental to us or (ii) a determination that the management fees payable to our Manager are not fair, subject to our Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of management fees agreed to by two-thirds of our independent directors. We may also terminate the Management Agreement for cause at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, with 30 days’ prior written notice from our Board. During the initial term of the Management Agreement, we may not terminate the Management Agreement except for cause.

 

We will pay directly or reimburse our Manager for certain expenses, if incurred by our Manager. We will not reimburse any compensation expenses incurred by our Manager or its affiliates. Expense reimbursements to our Manager will be made in cash on a quarterly basis following the end of each quarter. In addition, we will pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement.

 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred management fee expenses which totaled approximately $631,000 and $1.9 million respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock owned by affiliates of its Manager in the amount of approximately $408,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. There were no Manager dividends or management fees applicable to the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement

 

On November 26, 2019, we also entered into an exclusivity and right of first offer (“ROFO”) agreement with CTO. During the term of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement, CTO will not, and will cause each of its affiliates (which for purposes of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will not include our company and our subsidiaries) not to, acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, without providing us with notice and we have affirmatively rejected the opportunity to acquire the applicable property or properties.

 

The terms of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement do not restrict CTO or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.

 

26


Table of Contents

Pursuant to the exclusivity and ROFO agreement, neither CTO nor any of its affiliates (which for purposes of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement does not include our company and our subsidiaries) may sell to any third party any single-tenant, net leased property that was owned by CTO or any of its affiliates as of the closing date of our IPO; or is owned by CTO or any of its affiliates after the closing date of our IPO, without first offering us the right to purchase such property.

 

The term of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will continue for so long as the Management Agreement with our Manager is in effect.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future with CTO and its affiliates, including our Manager, the individuals who serve as our executive officers and executive officers of CTO, any individual who serves as a director of our company and as a director of CTO and any limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Conflicts may include, without limitation: conflicts arising from the enforcement of agreements between us and CTO or our Manager; conflicts in the amount of time that executive officers and employees of CTO, who are provided to us through our Manager, will spend on our affairs versus CTO’s affairs; and conflicts in future transactions that we may pursue with CTO and its affiliates. We do not generally expect to enter into joint ventures with CTO, but if we do so, the terms and conditions of our joint venture investment will be subject to the approval of a majority of disinterested directors of the Board.

 

In addition, we are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our Manager. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is obligated to supply us with our senior management team. However, our Manager is not obligated to dedicate any specific CTO personnel exclusively to us, nor are the CTO personnel provided to us by our Manager obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business. Additionally, our Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO and one of our officers (John P. Albright) is also a member of CTO’s board of directors. As a result, our Manager and the CTO personnel it provides to us may have conflicts between their duties to us and their duties to, and interests in, CTO.

We may acquire or sell single-tenant, net leased properties in which our Manager or its affiliates have or may have an interest. Similarly, our Manager or its affiliates may acquire or sell single-tenant, net leased properties in which we have or may have an interest. Although such acquisitions or dispositions may present conflicts of interest, we nonetheless may pursue and consummate such transactions. Additionally, we may engage in transactions directly with our Manager or its affiliates, including the purchase and sale of all or a portion of a portfolio asset. If we acquire a single-tenant, net leased property from CTO or one of its affiliates or sell a single-tenant, net leased property to CTO or one of its affiliates, the purchase price we pay to CTO or one of its affiliates or the purchase price paid to us by CTO or one of its affiliates may be higher or lower, respectively, than the purchase price that would have been paid to or by us if the transaction were the result of arms’ length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party.

In deciding whether to issue additional debt or equity securities, we will rely, in part, on recommendations made by our Manager. While such decisions are subject to the approval of our Board, our Manager is entitled to be paid a base management fee that is based on our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement). As a result, our Manager may have an incentive to recommend that we issue additional equity securities at dilutive prices.

All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO. These individuals and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager devote as much time to us as our Manager deems appropriate. However, our executive officers and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager may have conflicts in allocating their time and services between us, on the one hand, and CTO and its affiliates, on the other. During a period of prolonged economic weakness or another economic downturn affecting the real estate industry or at other times when we need focused support and assistance from our Manager and the CTO executive officers and other personnel provided to us through our Manager, we may not receive the necessary support and assistance we require or that we would otherwise receive if we were self-managed.

27


Table of Contents

Additionally, the exclusivity and ROFO agreement does contain exceptions to CTO’s exclusivity for opportunities that include only an incidental interest in single-tenant, net leased properties. Accordingly, the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will not prevent CTO from pursuing certain acquisition opportunities that otherwise satisfy our then-current investment criteria.

 

Our directors and executive officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, PINE GP has fiduciary duties, as the general partner, to the Operating Partnership and to the limited partners under Delaware law in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. These duties as a general partner to the Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and executive officers to us. Unless otherwise provided for in the relevant partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of loyalty and care and which generally prohibits such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest. The partnership agreement provides that in the event of a conflict between the interests of our stockholders on the one hand and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership on the other hand, PINE GP will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners; provided, however, that so long as we own a controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, any such conflict that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners of the Operating Partnership shall be resolved in favor of our stockholders, and we shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the limited partners in connection with such decisions.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS - EXPENDITURES

On January 13, 2020, the Company acquired a property in Georgetown, Texas leased to 7-Eleven (“7-Eleven-Georgetown”). As of September 30, 2020, cash rent has not yet commenced on this lease, although control of the property has been transferred to the tenant. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred approximately $388,000 of tenant improvements related to 7-Eleven-Georgetown. Additionally, approximately $519,000 of tenant improvements are expected to be completed during October 2020, for a total commitment of approximately $907,000 as of September 30, 2020.  Pursuant to the lease with 7-Eleven, upon completion of the tenant improvements, the tenant will fund $360,000 to the Company as a partial reimbursement, for total anticipated net cash outlay of approximately $547,000. The Company anticipates rent to commence prior to the end of 2020 upon completion of the remaining tenant improvements.

References to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also, when the Company uses any of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and reasonable assumptions, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those the Company anticipates or projects are described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

COVID-19 PANDEMIC

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets, and in many industries, business activity has experienced period of almost complete shutdown. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.

The Company collected 100% of the Contractual Base Rent due for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Contractual Base Rent (“CBR”) represents the amount owed to the Company under the current terms of its lease agreements. The Company has previously agreed to defer or abate certain CBRs in exchange for additional lease term or other lease enhancing additions that equated to approximately 6% of contractual rents. Additionally, the portfolio remains 100% occupied as of September 30, 2020. In general, the repayment of the deferred CBR began in the third quarter of 2020, with ratable payments continuing, in some cases, through the end of 2021. The Company has not yet reached an agreement with a tenant responsible for approximately 2% of CBR due during the three months ended June 30, 2020, however, this tenant has made 100% of its CBR payments due for the three months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 17, “Subsequent Events” for the Company’s disclosure related to October 2020 rent collections.

An assessment of the current or identifiable potential financial and operational impacts on the Company as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic are as follows:

When the pandemic was declared, given the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the impact on the capital markets, the U.S. economy, and PINE’s tenants, the Company temporarily suspended its activities directed at identifying additional acquisition opportunities. Towards the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Company reached agreements with tenants for rent deferrals and abatements and the Company completed the acquisition of two properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $28.6 million. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of fifteen properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.9 million, for total year-to-date acquisitions of approximately $99.3 million.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the federal government and the State of Florida issued orders encouraging everyone to remain at their residence and not go into work. In response to these orders and in the best interest of our Manager’s employees and our directors, our Manager implemented significant preventative measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees and our Board of Directors (the “Board”), including:

30


Table of Contents

conducting all meetings of our Board and Committees of the Board telephonically or via a visual conferencing service, permitting its employees to work from home at their election, enforcing appropriate social distancing practices in our Manager’s office, encouraging its employees to wash their hands often and use face masks and providing hand sanitizer and other disinfectant products throughout their office, requiring its employees who do not feel well, in any capacity, to stay at home, and requiring all third-party delivery services (e.g. mail, food delivery, etc.) to complete their service outside the front door of its offices. Our Manager also offered COVID-19 testing to its employees in our Manager’s office to ensure a safe working environment.

OVERVIEW

We are a real estate company that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of single-tenant commercial properties, including retail and office, all of which are located in the United States. All of the properties in our portfolio are leased on a long-term basis and located primarily in or in close proximity to major metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, and in growth markets and other markets in the United States with favorable economic and demographic conditions. Our properties are primarily leased to industry leading, creditworthy tenants, many of which operate in industries we believe are resistant to the impact of e-commerce. Our portfolio consists of 45 single-tenant, primarily net leased retail and office properties located in 32 markets in 17 states. Twenty of these properties, representing our initial portfolio, were acquired from CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (“CTO”), a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) American under the symbol “CTO”, in our Formation Transactions (as defined within Note 1, “Business and Organization”), utilizing approximately $125.9 million of proceeds from our initial public offering of our common stock (our “IPO”) and the issuance of 1,223,854 units of our operating partnership (the “OP Units”) that had an initial value of approximately $23.3 million based on our IPO price of $19.00 per share (the “IPO Price”). The remaining 26 properties were acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For four of our properties in our portfolio, we are the lessor in a long-term ground lease to the tenant.

 

All of the properties in our portfolio are subject to long-term, primarily triple-net leases, which generally require the tenant to pay all of the property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in such a manner.

 

Our objective is to maximize cash flow and value per share by generating stable and growing cash flows and attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, operating and growing a diversified portfolio of high-quality single-tenant, net leased commercial properties with strong long-term real estate fundamentals. The 45 properties in our portfolio are 100% occupied and represent approximately 1.5 million of gross rentable square feet with leases that have a weighted average lease term of approximately 8.6 years as of September 30, 2020, based on annualized base rent.

We seek to acquire, own and operate primarily freestanding, single-tenant commercial real estate properties primarily located in our target markets, primarily leased pursuant to triple-net, long-term leases. Within our target markets, we focus on investments in single-tenant retail and office properties. We target tenants in industries that we believe are favorably impacted by current macroeconomic trends that support consumer spending, such as strong and growing employment and positive consumer sentiment, as well as tenants in industries that have demonstrated resistance to the impact of the growing e-commerce retail sector. We also seek to invest in properties that are net leased to tenants that we determine have attractive credit characteristics, stable operating histories and healthy rent coverage levels, are well-located within their market and have rent levels at or below market rent levels. Furthermore, we believe that the size of our company will, for at least the near term, allow us to focus our investment activities on the acquisition of single properties or smaller portfolios of properties that represent a transaction size that most of our publicly-traded net lease REIT peers will not pursue on a consistent basis.

Table of Contents

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals and target markets, including major markets or those markets experiencing significant economic growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g., location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g., credit-worthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g., tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g., strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s structure, etc.).

The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO (our “Manager”). CTO (NYSE American: CTO) is a Florida corporation that is a publicly traded, diversified real estate operating company and the sole member of our Manager.

Revenue and Direct Cost of Revenues

 

Revenue from our income property operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), totaled approximately $5.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The increase in the respective revenues during the periods presented is reflective of the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $553,000 and $387,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in the direct cost of revenues is also due to the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $1.1 million and $564,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. Changes in general and administrative expenses are primarily due to the changes in the nature of such expenses, as the three months ended September 30, 2019 represents an allocation of the Predecessor parent company expenses versus actual general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company. The Predecessor general and administrative expenses were not indicative of the amount of general and administrative expenses the Company expects to incur on an annual basis subsequent to the IPO.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $2.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in the depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Net Income

 

Net income totaled approximately $636,000 and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. In addition to the impacts described above, the decrease in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor) reflects the following elements:

An increase in gain on disposition of assets totaling approximately $287,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, attributable to the disposition of one single-tenant income property during the three months ended September 30, 2020 with no gains recognized during the comparable Predecessor period; and

An increase in interest expense totaling approximately $384,000 related to the outstanding balance on the Company’s Credit Facility, utilized to fund the year-to-date income property acquisitions. No interest expense was allocated to the comparable Predecessor period by CTO.

Revenue and Direct Cost of Revenues

 

Revenue from our income property operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), totaled approximately $13.9 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The increase in the respective revenues during the periods presented is reflective of the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in the direct cost of revenues is also due to the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included higher than expected direct cost of revenues of approximately $107,000 which were the result of expensing costs associated with our due diligence on approximately $75 million of potential income property acquisitions which were terminated at the outset of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $3.5 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. Changes in general and administrative expenses are primarily due to the changes in the nature of such expenses, as the nine months ended September 30, 2019 represents an allocation of the Predecessor parent company expenses versus actual general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company. The Predecessor general and administrative expenses were not indicative of the amount of general and administrative expenses the Company expects to incur on an annual basis subsequent to the IPO. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses were impacted by the recognition of approximately $288,000 of costs associated with audit services related to the 2019 annual audit. The fees associated with our annual audit are recognized as the services are incurred, which typically occurs ratably throughout the year.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $7.0 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. The increase in the depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the increase in the Company’s income property portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Net Income

 

Net income totaled approximately $799,000 and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) and September 30, 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. In addition to the impacts described above, the decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (the Company) as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 (Predecessor) reflects the following elements:

An increase in gain on disposition of assets totaling approximately $287,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, attributable to the disposition of one single-tenant income property during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 with no gains recognized during the comparable Predecessor period; and

An increase in interest expense totaling approximately $1.0 million related to the outstanding balance on the Company’s Credit Facility, utilized to fund the year-to-date income property acquisitions. No interest expense was allocated to the comparable Predecessor period by CTO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash totaled approximately $1.9 million at September 30, 2020, and we had no restricted cash.

 

Long-term debt, at face value, totaled $88.3 million at September 30, 2020, representing an increase of $88.3 million from no balance at December 31, 2019. The increase in the long-term debt was due to the draws on our Credit Facility which funds were used to facilitate the acquisition of twenty six income properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, at face value, was as follows:

Credit Facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) serving as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Raymond James. The Credit Facility had an initial total borrowing capacity of $100 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $150 million during the base term, subject to lender approval.

On October 16, 2020, the Company executed the second amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”), with the addition of two lenders, Huntington National Bank and Truist Bank, respectively. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $150 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $200 million during the term, utilizing an accordion feature, subject to lender approval.

The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a secured interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Operating Partnership, as defined in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity.

At September 30, 2020, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $100.0 million the Credit Facility and the Company had an outstanding balance of $88.3 million. With the increase in the commitment level on October 16, 2020 to $150.0 million, the available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was $46.5 million, which was limited based on the level of borrowing base assets.

The Operating Partnership is subject to customary restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, limitations on the Operating Partnership’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. The Credit Facility also contains financial covenants covering the Operating Partnership, including but not limited to, tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the Operating Partnership is subject to additional financial maintenance covenants as described in the Credit Agreement. On June 30, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement with the lenders whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms.

 

Acquisitions and Investments. As noted previously, the Company’s operations commenced on November 26, 2019 and we did not acquire any single-tenant income properties during the period beginning with the commencement of our operations and December 31, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we acquired twenty six single-tenant, net leased properties for a total investment of approximately $100.3 million.  

When the pandemic was declared, given the uncertainties created by the COVID-19 Pandemic and the impact on the capital markets, the U.S. economy, and PINE’s tenants, the Company temporarily suspended its activities directed at identifying additional acquisition opportunities. Towards the end of the second quarter of 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of two properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $28.6 million. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of fifteen properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $23.9 million, for total year-to-date acquisitions of approximately $99.3 million.

Dispositions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the sold its single-tenant income property, classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2020, leased to Outback Steakhouse located in Charlottesville, Virginia, for a sales price of approximately $5.1 million, reflecting an exit cap rate of approximately 5.75%. The Company’s gain on the sale was approximately $287,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Capital Expenditures. On January 13, 2020, the Company acquired a property in Georgetown, Texas leased to 7-Eleven (“7-Eleven-Georgetown”). As of September 30, 2020, cash rent has not yet commenced on this lease, although control of the property has been transferred to the tenant. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred approximately $388,000 of tenant improvements related to 7-Eleven-Georgetown. Additionally, approximately $519,000 of tenant improvements are expected to be completed during October 2020, for a total commitment of approximately $907,000 as of September 30, 2020.  Pursuant to the lease with 7-Eleven, upon completion of the tenant

improvements, the tenant will fund $360,000 to the Company as a partial reimbursement, for total anticipated net cash outlay of approximately $547,000. The Company anticipates rent to commence prior to the end of 2020 upon completion of the remaining tenant improvements.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations and approximately $46.5 million of available capacity on the existing $150.0 million Credit Facility, based on our current borrowing base of income properties, as of September 30, 2020.

 Our Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our stockholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy of investing in single-tenant net leased income properties by utilizing the capital we raised in our IPO and available borrowing capacity from the Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose FFO and AFFO both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

 FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of capitalized lease incentives and above- and below-market lease related intangibles, and non-cash compensation. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

 FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated and combined financial statements included in this Quarterly Report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The development and selection of these critical accounting policies have been determined by management and the related disclosures have been reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of the Company. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; however, the most critical accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates and assumptions as to future uncertainties and, therefore, may result in actual amounts that differ from estimates, are as follows:

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Because of, among other factors, the fluctuating market conditions that currently exist in the national real estate markets, and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Predecessor’s investment in income properties, could change materially due to the continued volatility of the real estate and financial markets or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

 

Long-Lived Assets. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment in conducting its impairment analyses. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, an income property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment of long-lived assets is measured at fair value less cost to sell.

 

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease. Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company determines whether the transaction is a business combination, which is accounted for under the acquisition method, or an acquisition of assets. For both types of transactions, the Company recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree based on their relative fair values. For business combinations, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase, if applicable, and expenses acquisition-related costs in the periods in which the costs are incurred. For acquisitions of assets, acquisition-related costs are capitalized on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. If the Company acquires real estate and simultaneously enters into a new lease of the real estate the acquisition will be accounted for as an asset acquisition.

 

In accordance with the FASB guidance on business combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values.

 

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building and tenant improvements based on the determination of the fair values of these assets.

 

42


Table of Contents

In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be received pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease, including the probability of renewal periods. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the management believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease upon expiration, in which case both the Company and the Predecessor amortize the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period.

  

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases, is measured by the excess of (i) the purchase price paid for a property after adjusting existing in-place leases to market rental rates over (ii) the estimated fair value of the property as-if-vacant, determined as set forth above. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off. The value of tenant relationships is reviewed on individual transactions to determine if future value was derived from the acquisition.

 

Income Property Lease Revenue. The rental arrangements associated with the Company’s income property portfolio are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, contractual lease payment increases are recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The periodic difference between lease income recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms (i.e., straight-line rent) is recorded as a deferred operating lease receivable and is included in straight-line rent adjustment on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company adopted the Individual Equity Incentive Plan (the “Individual Plan”) and the Manager Equity Incentive Plan (the “Manager Plan”), which are collectively referred to herein as the Equity Incentive Plans, to provide equity incentive opportunities to members of our Manager’s management team and employees who perform services for us, our independent directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel, either individually or via grants of incentive equity to our Manager. The Company’s Equity Incentive Plans provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock units, cash awards, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, including long-term incentive plan units, and incentive awards. A total of 684,494 shares of common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plans.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow

timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2020, 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 PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of September 30, 2020, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). However, in light of the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have expanded the following risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K to provide additional specificity to the matters covered by such risk factors:  

We are subject to risks related to the ownership of commercial real estate that could affect the performance and value of our properties.

 

Factors beyond our control can affect the performance and value of our properties. Our core business is the ownership of single-tenant commercial net leased properties. Accordingly, our performance is subject to risks incident to the ownership of commercial real estate, including:

inability to collect rents from tenants due to financial hardship, including bankruptcy;
changes in local real estate conditions in the markets where our properties are located, including the availability and demand for the properties we own;
changes in consumer trends and preferences that affect the demand for products and services offered by our tenants;
adverse changes in national, regional and local economic conditions;
inability to lease or sell properties upon expiration or termination of existing leases;
environmental risks, including the presence of hazardous or toxic substances on our properties;
the subjectivity of real estate valuations and changes in such valuations over time;
illiquidity of real estate investments, which may limit our ability to modify our portfolio promptly in

response to changes in economic or other conditions;

zoning or other local regulatory restrictions, or other factors pertaining to the local government institutions

which inhibit interest in the markets in which our properties are located;

changes in interest rates and the availability of financing;
competition from other real estate companies similar to ours and competition for tenants, including

competition based on rental rates, age and location of properties and the quality of maintenance, insurance

and management services;

acts of God, including natural disasters and global pandemics which impact the United States, which may result in uninsured losses;
acts of war or terrorism, including consequences of terrorist attacks;
changes in tenant preferences that reduce the attractiveness and marketability of our properties to

tenants or cause decreases in market rental rates;

costs associated with the need to periodically repair, renovate or re-lease our properties;
increases in the cost of our operations, particularly maintenance, insurance or real estate taxes

which may occur even when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in our revenues;

44


Table of Contents

changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related

costs of compliance with laws and regulations, fiscal policies and ordinances including in response to global pandemics whereby our tenants’ businesses are forced to close or remain open on a limited basis only; and

commodities prices.

The occurrence of any of the risks described above may cause the performance and value of our properties to decline, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses, and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Each of our properties is occupied by a single tenant. Therefore, the success of our investments in these properties is materially dependent upon the performance of our tenants. The financial performance of any one of our tenants is dependent on the tenant’s individual business, its industry and, in many instances, the performance of a larger business network that the tenant may be affiliated with or operate under. The financial performance of any one of our tenants could be adversely affected by poor management, unfavorable economic conditions in general, changes in consumer trends and preferences that decrease demand for a tenant’s products or services or other factors, including the impact of a global pandemic which affects the United States, over which neither they nor we have control. Our portfolio includes properties leased to single tenants that operate in multiple locations, which means we own multiple properties operated by the same tenant. To the extent we own multiple properties operated by one tenant, the general failure of that single tenant or a loss or significant decline in its business could materially and adversely affect us.

 

At any given time, any tenant may experience a decline in its business that may weaken its operating results or the overall financial condition of individual properties or its business as a whole. Any such decline may result in our tenant failing to make rental payments when due, declining to extend a lease upon its expiration, delaying occupancy of our property or the commencement of the lease or becoming insolvent or declaring bankruptcy. We depend on our tenants to operate their businesses at the properties we own in a manner which generates revenues sufficient to allow them to meet their obligations to us, including their obligations to pay rent, maintain certain insurance coverage, pay real estate taxes, make repairs and otherwise maintain our properties. The ability of our tenants to fulfill their obligations under our leases may depend, in part, upon the overall profitability of their operations. Cash flow generated by certain tenant businesses may not be sufficient for a tenant to meet its obligations to us pursuant to the applicable lease. We could be materially and adversely affected if a tenant representing a significant portion of our operating results or a number of our tenants were unable to meet their obligations to us.

The tenants that occupy our properties compete in industries that depend upon discretionary spending by consumers. A reduction in the willingness or ability of consumers to use their discretionary income in the businesses of our tenants and potential tenants could adversely impact our tenants’ business and thereby adversely impact our ability to collect rents and reduce the demand for leasing our properties.

 

Certain properties in our portfolio are leased to tenants operating retail, service-oriented or experience-based businesses. Restaurants (including quick service and casual and family dining), home furnishings, entertainment (including movie theaters), sporting goods and health and fitness represent a significant portion of the industries in our portfolio. The success of most of the tenants operating businesses in these industries depends on consumer demand and, more specifically, the willingness of consumers to use their discretionary income to purchase products or services from our tenants. The ability of consumers to use their discretionary income may be impacted by issues including a global pandemic that impacts the United States. A prolonged period of economic weakness, another downturn in the U.S. economy or accelerated dislocation of these industries due to the impact of e-commerce, could cause consumers to reduce their discretionary spending in general or spending at these locations in particular, which could have a material and adverse effect on us.

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war or other unexpected events could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, other acts of violence or war or other unexpected events, including a global pandemic that impacts the economy in the United States, could materially interrupt our business operations (or those of our tenants), cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economies. They also could result in or prolong an economic recession. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect us.

 

In addition, our corporate headquarters and certain of our properties are located in Florida, where major hurricanes have occurred. Depending on where any hurricane makes landfall, our properties in Florida could experience significant damage. In addition, the occurrence and frequency of hurricanes in Florida could also negatively impact demand for our properties located in that state because of consumer perceptions of hurricane risks. In addition to hurricanes, the occurrence of other natural disasters and climate conditions in Florida (and in other states where our properties are located), such as tornadoes, floods, fires, unusually heavy or prolonged rain, droughts and heat waves, could have an adverse effect on our tenants, which could adversely impact our ability to collect rental revenues. If a hurricane, earthquake, natural disaster or other similar significant disruption occurs, we may experience disruptions to our operations and damage to our properties, which could materially and adversely affect us.

 

Terrorist attacks or other acts of violence may also negatively affect our operations. There can be no assurance that there will not be terrorist attacks against businesses within the U.S. These attacks may directly impact our physical assets or business operations or the financial condition of our tenants, lenders or other institutions with which we have a relationship. The U.S. may be engaged in armed conflict, which could also have an impact on the tenants, lenders or other institutions with which we have a relationship. The consequences of armed conflict are unpredictable, and we may not be able to foresee events that could have an adverse effect on our business. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect us.

There had been no public market for our common stock prior to our IPO and an active trading market may not be sustained or be liquid in the future, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly and make it difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

Prior to our IPO, there had been no public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will be sustained or be liquid. There can be no assurance that our common stock will not trade below the IPO Price. The market price of our common stock could be substantially affected by general market conditions, including the extent to which a secondary market develops and is sustained for our common stock following the completion of our IPO, the extent of institutional investor interest in us, the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities of other entities (including securities issued by other real estate-based companies), our financial performance and prospects and general stock, and bond market conditions.

 

The stock markets, including the NYSE on which our shares are listed, have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of our common stock may be similarly volatile, and investors in shares of our common stock may, from time to time, experience a decrease in the market price of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our financial performance or prospects. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including those discussed in this “Risk Factors” section, and others, such as:

our financial condition and operating performance and the financial condition or performance of other similar companies;
actual or anticipated differences in our quarterly or annual operating results than expected;
changes in our revenues, FFO, AFFO, or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry generally;
increases in market interest rates, which may lead investors to demand a higher distribution yield for shares of our common stock, and could result in increased interest expense on our debt;  

46


Table of Contents

adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
actual or anticipated changes in our and our tenants’ businesses or prospects, including as a result of the impact of a global pandemic;
the current state of the credit and capital markets, and our ability and the ability of our tenants to obtain financing on favorable terms;
conflicts of interest with CTO and its affiliates, including our Manager;
the termination of our Manager or additions and departures of key personnel of our Manager;
increased competition in our markets;
strategic decisions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions, divestments, spin-offs, joint ventures, strategic investments or changes in business or growth strategies;
the passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or our industry;
adverse speculation in the press or investment community;
actions by institutional stockholders;
the extent of investor interest in our securities;
the general reputation of REITs and the attractiveness of our equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, including securities issued by other real estate-based companies;
investor confidence in the stock and bond markets, generally;
changes in tax laws;
equity issuances by us (including the issuances of OP Units), or common stock resales by our stockholders, or the perception that such issuances or resales may occur;
volume of average daily trading and the amount of our common stock available to be traded;
changes in accounting principles;
failure to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT;
failure to comply with the rules of the NYSE or maintain the listing of our common stock on the NYSE;
terrorist acts, natural or man-made disasters, including global pandemics impacting the United States, or threatened or actual armed conflicts; and  
general market and local, regional and national economic conditions, including factors unrelated to our operating performance and prospects.

No assurance can be given that the market price of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future or that holders of shares of our common stock will be able to sell their shares when desired on favorable terms, or at all. From time to time in the past, securities class action litigation has been instituted against companies following periods of extreme volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Our portfolio has geographic market concentrations that make us susceptible to adverse developments in those geographic markets.

 

In addition to general, regional, national, and global economic conditions, our operating performance is impacted by the economic conditions of the specific geographic markets in which we have concentrations of properties. Our initial portfolio includes substantial holdings in the following states as of December 31, 2019 (based on annualized base rent): Oregon, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada. In addition, a significant portion of our holdings as of that date (based on annualized straight-line base rent) was located in the South (56%) and West (34%) regions of the United States (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau). Our geographic concentrations could adversely affect our operating performance if conditions become less favorable in any of the states or markets within such states in which we have a concentration of properties. Such geographic concentrations could be heightened by the fact that our investments may be concentrated in certain areas that are affected by COVID-19 more than other areas. We cannot assure you that any of our markets will grow, not experience adverse developments or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of commercial properties. Our operations may also be affected if competing properties are built in our markets. A downturn in the economy in the states or regions in which we have a concentration of properties, or markets within such states or regions, could adversely affect our tenants operating businesses in those states or regions, impair their ability to pay rent to us and thereby, materially and adversely affect us.

The current COVID-19 Pandemic, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our tenant’s business operations and as a result adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

 

Since late December 2019, the COVID-19 Pandemic has spread globally, including every state in the United States. The COVID-19 Pandemic has had, and other future pandemics could have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 Pandemic has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and produced significant volatility in the global financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.

Certain states and cities, including where we own properties, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter at home” rules, and importantly, restrictions on the types of business that may continue to operate or requiring others to shut down completely. Additional states and cities may implement similar restrictions. As a result, the COVID-19 Pandemic is negatively impacting most every industry directly or indirectly. A number of our tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and requested deferral, or in some instances, rent abatement while the pandemic remains. Many experts predict that the COVID-19 Pandemic will trigger, or even has already triggered, a period of global economic slowdown or possibly a global recession. The COVID-19 Pandemic, or a future pandemic, could have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate our business and as a result our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;
the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
the reduced economic activity could result in a recession, which could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending;
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations on a timely basis;
a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability or desire to grow our portfolio of properties;
a deterioration in our or our tenants’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants; and
the potential negative impact on the health of our Manager’s personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

  

The extent to which the COVID-19 Pandemic impacts our operations, and those of our tenants, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, including the scope, severity and duration of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the impact of actions taken by governmental and health organizations to contain the COVID-19 Pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their businesses and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at expected levels, or at all. The rapid onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the continued uncertainty of its duration and long-term impact precludes any prediction of the magnitude of the adverse impact on the U.S. economy, our tenant’s businesses and ours. Consequently, the COVID-19 Pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business operations, our Manager’s business, and therefore, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Further, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Certain statements contained in this report (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company.

There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

We wish to caution readers that the assumptions, which form the basis for forward-looking statements with respect to or that may impact earnings for the year ended December 31, 2020, and thereafter, include many factors that are beyond the Company’s ability to control or estimate precisely. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market; the impact of a prolonged recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of competitive real estate activity; the loss of any major income property tenants; the ultimate geographic spread, severity and duration of pandemics such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain or address the impact of such pandemics, and the potential negative impacts of such pandemics on the global economy and our financial condition and results of operations; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
