TEJON RANCH CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of theits consolidated financial statements.
The periods ending September 30, 20192020 and 2018December 31, 2019 include the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC’s statement of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment and statements of cash flows. The Company’s September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 balance sheets and statements of changes in equity and noncontrolling interests are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC.
The Company has identified five5 reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.
The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. The coronavirus, COVID-19, has also brought additional uncertainty previously unseen. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion.
For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Concessions Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a Staff Question-and-Answer, or Q&A, intending to reduce the operational challenges and complexity of accounting for leases at a time when many businesses have been ordered to close or have seen their revenue drop due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB determined that it would be appropriate for entities to make a policy election regarding how to account for lease concessions resulting directly from COVID-19. Rather than analyzing each lease contract individually, entities can elect to account for lease concessions “as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed, regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract.” Accordingly, entities that choose to apply the relief provided by the FASB can either (1) apply the modification framework for these concessions in accordance with ASC Topic 840 or ASC Topic 842 as applicable or (2) account for the concessions as if they were made under the enforceable rights included in the original agreement and are thus outside of the modification framework. In making this election, an entity would not need to perform a lease-by-lease analysis to evaluate the enforceable rights and may instead simply treat the change as if the enforceable rights were included or excluded in the original agreement. The election not to apply lease modification accounting is only available when total cash flows resulting from the modified contract are “substantially the same or less” than the cash flows in the original contract.
The Company has elected to account for lease concessions outside of the modification framework based on the FASB Q&A, and is continuing to assess the impact of the Q&A in light of our ongoing negotiations with tenants. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in tenant requests for rent relief, with a majority of the requests occurring in the second quarter. As of September 30, 2020, the Company reached agreements with all of our commercial tenants on their respective rent deferral requests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company retained 87% of rent billings and agreed to defer 13% of rent billings, or $163,000. Based on the terms of the agreements reached with our tenants, all of deferred rent will be fully repaid by the end of 2021. The Company will account for the rent receivables as if no changes to the lease contract were made, and the rent receivable for the deferral period will stay on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet until the rent is collected over the passage of time.

Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The pronouncement provides optional expedients for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. Specifically, the ASU permits modification of contracts within ASC Topic 470, Debt, to be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate when a contract is modified because of reference rate reform. It also provides exceptions to the guidance in ASC Topic 815 related to changes to critical terms of a hedging relationship: the change in reference rate will not result in de-designation of a hedging relationship if certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company expects to utilize this optional guidance but do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Allowance for Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)," changing the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. The ASU will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU isNo. 2019-10, changing effective dates for the new standards to give implementation relief to certain types of entities. The Company was required to adopt the new standards no later than January 1, 2023 according to ASU 2019-10, with early adoption allowed.
The Company adopted the new standards on January 1, 2020, and will be applied as2020. The adoption did not have a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as ofmaterial impact on the effective date.


The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on itsCompany's consolidated financial statements. The Company's implementation efforts include, but are not limited to, identifying key interpretive issues, assessing its policies and processes, and evaluating related control activities to determine if modifications or enhancements may be required. The Company's accounts receivable balance is primarily composed of crop receivables. Based on the short-term nature of these contracts, historical experience with current customers, and periodic credit evaluations of theirthe customers' financial conditions, the current economic environment and rent deferrals negotiated with tenants the Company believes its credit risk is minimal. With regards to marketable securities, as the Company limits its investment to securities with investment grade ratings from Moody's or Standard and Poor's,Poor's. As the Company does not have a current intent to sell securities and it generally doesis more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company does not expect this ASU to have any material impact on its accounting of marketable securities.no allowance for credit losses was recorded.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." This ASU removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, such as the disclosure of amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and adds new disclosure requirements, such as the disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement. For theThe Company adopted the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. The Company does2020, and the adoption did not expect this ASU to have anya material impact on its consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not have financial instruments classified as Level 3.
Retirement Benefits
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." This ASU removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer. This ASU also requires additional disclosures for the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit plan obligation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2020. The Company doesadopted the new standard on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not expect this ASU to have anya material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Disclosure Simplification
In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-07, "Codification Updates to SEC Sections - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization and Miscellaneous Updates (SEC Update)." This ASU clarifies or improves the disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of codification topics by aligning them with the SEC’s regulations, thereby eliminating redundancies and making the codification easier to apply. This ASU was effective upon issuance and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.



Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use, or ROU, model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee. From the lessor's perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. Entities are prohibited from using a full retrospective transition approach to adopt this guidance, and a modified retrospective approach is required to be used for all leases that exist at or commence after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Entities are permitted to elect a package of expedients where an entity need 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 existing leases.
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842," which permits entities to elect a transition practical expedient to not assess land easements that exist or expired before the adoption of the new standard in order to reduce the costs and complexity of complying with the transition provisions. If this practical expedient is elected, entities are effectively allowed to grandfather the accounting for easements entered into prior to the adoption of the new standards.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements to Leases (Topic 842)," which allows entities to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements. Under this transition option, entities can continue to apply the legacy guidance in the comparative periods presented in the year they adopt the new standard. ASU No. 2018-11 also provides a practical expedient for lessors to combine the lease and non-lease components under certain circumstances to simplify the lessor's implementation of the new guidance.
The Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842: Leases, or ASC Topic 842, became effective on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new standards using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2019. The optional transition method was elected during this transition, and comparative information is not restated and will continue to be reported under the legacy guidance. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients and will account for its existing leases under the new guidance without reassessing its prior conclusions of lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
Lessee Impact:
The Company currently leases several office copiers under 48-month lease terms. On January 1, 2019, an operating lease ROU asset and an operating lease liability were recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, both in the amount of $52,000, as a result of adopting the new guidance. The $52,000 was determined by calculating the present value of the future annual cash lease payments using a discount rate of 4.11%. The 4.11% discount rate represents the Company's incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The implementation of the new standards did not have any impact on the consolidated statements of operations or the opening balance of retained earnings on the consolidated statements of equity.
Lessor Impact:
The Company elected the land easement practical expedient upon adoption of the new guidance and is thus permitted to continue its current accounting policy for land easements that exist or expired before the


effective date of the adoption. As of the adoption date, the Company evaluates new or modified land easements under ASC Topic 842.
Additionally, the Company elected the lessor's practical expedient and combined the lease and non-lease components due to the following criteria being met: (i) the timing and pattern of recognizing revenue for the lease components are the same as its associated non-lease components, (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (iii) the lease component is the predominant component within the contract. The Company believes that combining the lease component, which is the lease revenue, and non-lease components such as common area maintenance revenue and provisions of real estate taxes and insurance, will provide more meaningful information as it is more reflective of the predominant component in the lease contracts.
The Company does not expect significant differences in the timing and pattern of revenue recognition under the new lease guidance for all existing leases from the lessor's perspective. For new leases originated after the adoption date, the Company expects to capitalize less initial direct cost, as the definition of initial direct cost is narrower under the new guidance. Certain costs, such as legal costs incurred, were eligible for capitalization under the legacy guidance, but are no longer eligible for capitalization under the new standards. The amounts capitalized as legal costs have been de minimis in the past and would not have a material impact to the results of operations.
Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which amends the hedge accounting model and allows entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in their financial statements. This guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as hedged item. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The Company utilizes an interest rate swap to hedge its exposure to variable interest rate associated with borrowings based on London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The Company does not expect the transition away from LIBOR to impact the designation of the interest rate swap. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, and the hedge has been highly effective since inception. Therefore, no cumulative effective adjustment of previously recognized ineffectiveness was required to be recorded as a result of adopting this new guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." This ASU identified SOFR as the preferred reference rate alternative to LIBOR. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For a more detailed discussion of the benchmark interest rate, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.


Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. government’s comprehensive tax legislation enacted in December 2017, commonly referred to as U.S. Tax Reform. The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and the Company adopted the provisions of the guidance as of the effective date. The Company did not make an election to reclassify the income tax effects of the U.S Tax Reform from AOCI to retained earnings.
Please also refer to Critical Accounting Policies in Part I, Item 2 of this report for a discussion onof changes to critical accounting policies.

ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”Securities,” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company has elected to classifyclassifies its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date.

The Company evaluates itsadopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)" on January 1, 2020 prospectively. Under ASC Topic 326-30, the Company is now required to use an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, for other-than-temporary impairment based onmeasured as the specific facts and circumstances surrounding each security valued below its cost. Factors considered includedifference between the length of time the securities have been valued belowsecurity's amortized cost the financial condition of the issuer, industry reports related to the issuer, the severity of any decline, the Company's intention not to sell the security,basis and the Company's assessment as to whether it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company will then segregate the loss between the amounts representing a decrease in cash flowsamount expected to be collected orover the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit loss, which is recognizedlosses through earnings and the balance of the loss, which is recognized through other comprehensive income.offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At September 30, 2019,2020 the Company has not recorded any credit losses.

At September 30, 2020, the fair market value of investmentmarketable securities was $54,000$29,000 above their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $63,000$30,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $9,000. The Company has determined that any unrealized losses in the portfolio were temporary as of September 30, 2019.$1,000. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected an improvement in market value of $443,000,$22,000, including estimated taxes of $93,000.$6,000.

The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance per ASC Topic 326-30-50-3A. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $107,000 as of September 30, 2020, and was included within the Other Assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.

U.S. Treasury and agency notes
The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at December 31, 2019 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. The unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of December 31, 2019.
Corporate notes
The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of September 30, 2020.

5.     LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS
Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by the Tejon-Castac Water District (TCWD) in the Kern Water Banks.

The Company has also have secured State Water Project, or SWP, entitlement under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, or Tulare Lake Basin, and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, or Dudley-Ridge, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency, or AVEK, for use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.
The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 20192020 is $769$793 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 3%.
Water purchases will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third-party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as just described.

9.     STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three3 types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as corporate cash flow goals or share price, or Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. The Company has also granted performance share grants that contain both performance-based andPerformance Condition Grants with market-based conditions. Compensation cost for these awards is recognizedconditions are based on either the achievement of the performance-based conditions, if they are considered probable, or if they are not considered probable, on the achievement of thea target share price. The share price used to calculate vesting for market-based condition.awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to satisfyachieve the threshold performance conditionstarget share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions do not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of September 30, 20192020 were $3,985,000$9,464,000 and 1723 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. FairThe fair value of performance grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant once the Company determines that it is probable that the award will vest. This fair value is expensed over the service period applicable to these grants. For performance grants that contain a range of shares from zero to a maximum, the Company determined, based on historic and projected results, the probability of (1) achieving the performance objective and (2) the level of achievement. Based on this information, the Company determines the fair value of the award and measuremeasures the expense over the service period related to these grants. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company will adjust stock compensation costs according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.
Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, or NDSI Plan, each non-employee director receives his or her annual compensation in stock. The stock is granted at the end of each quarter based on the quarter-end stock price.

10.     INTEREST RATE SWAP
In October 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the floating interest rate tied to LIBOR under the Term Note, as discussed in Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt). On June 21, 2019, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreement to continue to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate risk from the Term Note, and, subsequently, the Amended Term Note. The original hedging relationship was de-designated, and the amended interest rate swap was re-designated simultaneously. The amended interest rate swap qualified as an effective cash flow hedge at the initial assessment based upon a regression analysis and is recorded at fair value.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,2020, the interest rate swap agreement was deemed highly effective. Changes in fair value, including accrued interest and adjustments for non-performance risk, that qualify as cash flow hedges are classified in AOCI. Amounts classified in AOCI are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. 
As of September 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was less than its cost basis and as such is recorded within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap agreement designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 ($ in thousands):

11.     INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes during the interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. The Company utilized a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270 “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company determined that because there is a high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for tax expense for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the Company's income tax expense was $320,000$1,111,000 compared to $1,333,000$320,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. Effective tax rates were 27%229% and 25%27% for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had income tax receivables of $256,000.$274,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense. During

The CompanySection 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts Jobs Act, which did not recordimpact the Company until this year. The discrete item was triggered when stock grants were issued to participants at a provisional adjustment forprice less than the nine months ended September 30, 2019.original grant price, causing a deferred tax shortfall. The shortfall recognized during the quarter represents the reversal of excess deferred tax assets recognized in prior periods. The recognition of the shortfall is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company's current income tax payable.



12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Water Contracts
The Company's land is subject to water contracts with minimum annual payments. During the nine months endedpayments, for which $10,943,000 is expected to be paid in total for 2020. As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company has paid $8,794,000 related to these$10,144,000 for its water contracts. The Company does not expect to make any more payments for the remainder of 2019. These estimated water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District,WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Water Storage District, Dudley-Ridge, Water Storage District and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. As discussed in Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets), the Company purchased the assignment of a contract to purchase water in late 2013. The assigned water contract is with Nickel and obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through the term of the contract. Contractual obligations for future water payments was $250,219,000were $261,952,000 as of September 30, 2019.2020.
Conservancy Payments
20

The Company is obligated to make payments of approximately $800,000 per year through 2021 to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy, as prescribed in the Conservation Agreement entered into with five major environmental organizations in 2008. Advances to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are dependent on the occurrence of certain events and their timing and are therefore subject to change in amount and period. These amounts paid will be capitalized in real estate development for the Centennial, Grapevine and Mountain Village, or MV, projects.
Contracts
The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fees will notfee cannot be finalizeddetermined until the future payment dates.such milestone is met. The Company believes as of September 30, 2020 that net savings from exiting the contract over this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
Community Facilities Districts
The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC, TRPFFA has created two2 Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $55,000,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no0 additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $65,000,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.
In connection with the sale of the bonds, there is a standby letter of credit for $4,468,000$4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. The letter of credit is for two years and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $68,000.
The Company is obligated, as a landowner in each CFD, to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. At September 30, 20192020, there were no0 additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. There are $4,180,000 inno additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during 2019 and future years. During 2019fiscal 2020, the Company expects to pay approximately $2,570,000$2,521,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC,


new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company iswas not required to recognize an obligation at September 30, 2019.2020.
Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Litigation
In July 2014, the Company received a copy of a Notice of Intent to Sue, dated July 17, 2014 indicating that the Center for Biological Diversity, or CBD, the Wishtoyo Foundation and Dee Dominguez (collectively, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs) intended to initiate a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or USFWS, challenging USFWS's approval of the Company's Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, or TMSHCP,TUMSHCP, and USFWS's issuance of an Incidental Take Permit, or ITP, for the take of federally listed species. The TUMSHCP approval and ITP issuance by the USFWS occurred in 2013. These approvals authorize, among other things, the removal of California condor habitat associated with the Company's potential future development of MV.
On April 25, 2019, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs filed suit against the USFWS in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles (Case No. 2:19-CV-3322), or (the TUMSHCP Suit. While theSuit). The Company was not initially named as a party in the TUMSHCP Suit itand brought a motion to intervene, which the court granted. The TUMSHCP Suit seeks to invalidate the TUMSHCP as it pertains to the protection of the California condor (an endangered species), as well as the ITP.
The primary allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit are that California condors or their habitat are “Traditional Cultural Properties” within the meaning of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and, that the USFWS failed to take into account the impact of the TUMSHCP and ITP on these “Traditional Cultural Properties” and failed to adequately consult with affected Native American tribes or their representatives with respect to the impact of the TUMSHCP and ITP on these “Traditional Cultural Properties.”
21

Management considers the allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit to be beyond the scope of the law and regulations referenced in the TUMSHCP Suit, and believes that the issues raised by the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs were adequately addressed by USFWS during the consultation process with Native American tribes. The Company is supporting USFWS's efforts to vigorously defend this matter. On August 13,October 30, 2019, the CompanyTUMSCHCP Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking dismissal of the TUMSHCP Suit on the grounds that the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs lack standing and failed to file their action within the applicable statute of limitations. The USFWS also filed a motion to dismiss on the grounds that the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs lack standing and that, as a matter of law, the California condor and its habitat do not constitute “traditional cultural properties” under NHPA. On October 16, 2019,an amended complaint after the court issued an order grantingpreviously granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the TUMSHCP Suit;TUMSCHP Suit on the basis that the TUMSCHP Plaintiffs lacked standing. The Company brought a second motion to dismiss on the same basis, which the court helddenied on December 18, 2019. In its December 18, 2019 ruling, the court ordered that the parties proceed to bring motions for summary judgment on the question of whether the USFWS correctly determined that the California condor is not a “Traditional Cultural Property” under the NHPA.
As of the date of this report, the USFWS has filed the record of its decision in order to adjudicate that question and the parties have agreed that the record is complete. On September 4, 2020, the TUMSCHP Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment. The USFWS and the Company are filing responsive briefs and counter motions for summary judgment in response to adjudicate the question presented by the court. At this time there is no hearing set for these motions for summary judgment.
The TUMSHCP Plaintiffs had not alleged facts establishing standing to challenge the USFWS’s consultation process under NHPA. That same day in a separate minute order, the court also ruled that the USFWS’s motion to dismiss was moot, based on granting the Company’s motion to dismiss. The court gave the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs fourteen days to amend their pleadings. On October 30, 2019, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in response to the court’s order; the amended complaint filed by the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs attempts to assert standing to raise the claims alleged in the TUMSHCP Suit; the Company and the UFSW are reviewing this amended complaint and have until November 13 (unless extension is sought) to file a responsive pleading.
For point of reference, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffspreviously raised essentially the same arguments regarding the Native American consultation process and the California condor in an earlier state court litigation.In that litigation, the California Court of Appeal rejected the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs’ arguments as lacking merit. merit in a decision issued on April 25, 2012.See Center for Biological Diversity, et al.v.al. v. Kern County, 2012 WL 1417682 (Case No. F061908). That state appellate court decision was issued on April 25, 2012.


As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company believes the TUMSHCP Suit does not impede on theits ability to start or complete the development of MV development.MV.
National Cement
The Company leases land to National Cement Company of California Inc., or National, for the purpose of manufacturing Portland cement from limestone deposits on the leased acreage. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, or RWQCB, for the Lahontan Region issued orders in the late 1990s with respect to environmental conditions on the property currently leased to National.
The Company's former tenant Lafarge Corporation, or Lafarge, and current tenant National, continue to remediate these environmental conditions consistent with the RWQCB orders.
The Company is not aware of any failure by Lafarge or National to comply with directives of the RWQCB. Under current and prior leases, National and Lafarge are obligated to indemnify the Company for costs and liabilities arising out of their use of the leased premises. The remediation of environmental conditions is included within the scope of the National or Lafarge indemnity obligations. If the Company were required to remediate the environmental conditions at its own cost, it is unlikely that the amount of any such expenditure by the Company would be material and there is no reasonable likelihood of continuing risk from this matter.
Antelope Valley Groundwater Cases
On November 29, 2004, a conglomerate of public water suppliers filed a cross-complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court against landowners and others with interest in the groundwater basin within the Antelope Valley (including the Company) seeking a judicial determination of the rights to groundwater within the Antelope Valley basin, including the groundwater underlying the Company’s land near the Centennial project. Four phases of a multi-phase trial have been completed. Upon completion of the third phase, the court ruled that the groundwater basin was in overdraft and established a current total sustainable yield. The fourth phase of trial occurred in the first half of 2013 and resulted in confirmation of each party’s groundwater pumping for 2011 and 2012. The fifth phase of the trial commenced in February 2014 and concerned 1) whether the United States has a federal reserved water right to basin groundwater, and 2) the rights to return flows from imported water. The court heard evidence on the federal reserved right but continued the trial on the return flow issues while most of the parties to the adjudication discussed a settlement, including rights to return flows. In February 2015, more than 140 parties representing more than 99% of the current water use within the adjudication boundary agreed to a settlement. On March 4, 2015, the settling parties, including Tejon, submitted a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution to the court for approval. On December 23, 2015, the court entered judgment approving the Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution, or the Judgment. The Company’s water supply plan for the Centennial project anticipated reliance on, among other sources, a certain quantity of groundwater underlying the Company’s lands in the Antelope Valley. The Company’s allocation in the Judgment is consistent with that amount. Prior to the Judgment becoming final, on February 19 and 22, 2016, several parties, including the Willis Class and Phelan Pinon Hills Community Services District, filed notices of appeal from the Judgment. The Appeal has been transferred from the Fourth Appellate District of California to the Fifth Appellate District.
22

Appellate briefing began in 2019on the Phelan Pinion Hills Community Services District appeal is complete and argument is scheduled to continue intofor November 2020. Appellate briefing on the Willis Class and Tapia appeals will likely be complete in the fourth quarter of 2020, and oral argument will likely occur in the first quarter of 2020.2021. Following oral argument, the court will likely take the matters under submission and issue one or more opinions within 90 days thereafter. Notwithstanding the appeals, the parties, with assistance from the Courtcourt, have established the Watermaster Board, hired the Watermaster Engineer and Watermaster Legal Counsel, and begun administering the Physical Solution,physical solution consistent with the Judgment.


Summary and Status of Kern Water Bank Lawsuits
On June 3, 2010, the Central Delta and South Delta Water Agencies and several environmental groups, including CBD, or collectively, the Central Delta Petitioners, filed a complaint in the Sacramento County Superior Court, or the Central Delta Action, against the California Department of Water Resources, or DWR, Kern County Water Agency, or KCWA, and a number of “real parties in interest,” including the Company and TCWD.  The lawsuit challenges certain amendments to the SWP contracts that were originally approved in 1995, known as the Monterey Amendments. The Central Delta Petitioners sought to invalidate the DWR's approval of the Monterey Amendments and also the 2010 environmental impact report, or 2010 EIR, regarding the Monterey Amendments prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, pertaining to the Kern Water Bank, or KWB. Pursuant to the Monterey Amendments, DWR transferred approximately 20,000 acres in Kern County owned by DWR, or KWB property, to the KCWA.
A separate but parallel lawsuit, or Central Delta II, was also filed by the Central Delta Petitioners in Kern County Superior Court on July 2, 2010, against KCWA, also naming the Company and TCWD as real parties in interest. Central Delta II challenged the validity of the transfer of the KWB property from the KCWA to the Kern Water Bank Authority, or KWBA. The petitioners in this case alleged that (i) the transfer of the KWB property by KCWA to the KWBA was an unconstitutional gift of public funds, and (ii) the consideration for the transfer of the KWB property to the KWBA was unconscionable and illusory. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of the Central Delta Action.
In addition, another lawsuit was filed in Kern County Superior Court on June 3, 2010, by two districts adjacent to the KWB, namely Rosedale Rio Bravo and Buena Vista Water Storage Districts (collectively, the Rosedale Petitioners), asserting that the 2010 EIR did not adequately evaluate potential impacts arising from operations of the KWB, or Rosedale Action, but this lawsuit did not name the Company;Company: it only named TCWD. TCWD has a contract right for water stored in the KWB and rights to recharge and withdraw water. This lawsuit was later moved to the Sacramento County Superior Court.
In the Central Delta Action and Rosedale Action, the trial courts concluded that the 2010 EIR for the Monterey Amendments was insufficient with regard to the EIR's evaluation of the potential impacts of the operation of the KWB, particularly on groundwater and water quality, and ruled that DWR was required to prepare a remedial EIR (which is further described below). In the Central Delta Action, the trial court also concluded that the challenges to DWR’s 1995 approval of the Monterey Amendments were barred by statutes of limitations and laches. The Central Delta Petitioners filed an appeal ofappealed the Sacramento County Superior Court Judgment, and certain real parties filed a cross-appeal. No party appealed the Kern County Superior Court Judgment in the Rosedale Action.
On November 24, 2014, the Sacramento County Superior Court in the Central Delta Action issued a writ of mandate, or 2014 Writ, that required DWR to prepare a revised EIR (described herein as the 2016 EIR because it was certified in 2016) regarding the Monterey Amendments evaluating the potential operational impacts of the KWB. The 2014 Writ, as revised by the court, required DWR to certify the 2016 EIR and file the response to the 2014 Writ by September 28, 2016. On September 20, 2016, the Director of DWR (a) certified the 2016 EIR prepared by DWR as in compliance with CEQA, (b) adopted findings, a statement of overriding considerations, and a mitigation, monitoring and reporting program as required by CEQA, (c) made a new finding pertaining to carrying out the Monterey Amendments through continued use and operation of the KWB by the KWBA, and (d) caused a notice of determination to be filed with the Office of Planning and Resources of the State of California on September 22, 2016. On September 28, 2016, DWR filed with the Sacramento County Superior Court its return to the 2014 Writ in the Central Delta Action.

23


On October 21, 2016, the Central Delta Petitioners and a new party, the Center for Food Safety (CFS), (collectively, the CFS Petitioners), filed a new lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court, (the CFS Action), against DWR and naming a number of real parties in interest, including KWBA and TCWD (but not including the Company). The CFS Action challenges DWR’s (i) certification of the 2016 EIR, (ii) compliance with the 2014 Writ and CEQA, and (iii) finding concerning the continued use and operation of the KWB by KWBA. On October 2, 2017, the Sacramento County Superior Court issued a ruling that the court shall deny the CFS petition and shall discharge the 2014 Writ. The CFS Petitioners appealed the Sacramento County Superior Court judgment denying the CFS petition. The Third Appellate District of the Court of Appeal granted DWR’s motion to consolidate the CFS Action appeal for hearing with the pending appeals in the Central Delta Action. Briefing on all of the appeals and cross-appeals is now complete. At this time, the Company anticipates having a ruling from the Court of Appeal on these consolidated appeals of the CFS Action and the Central Delta Action sometime in 2020.2020, but there is a possibility that the court’s hearing and disposition could be delayed by the closure of the courts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent there may be an adverse outcome of the claims still pending as described above, the monetary value cannot be estimated at this time.
Grapevine
On December 6, 2016, the Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously granted entitlement approval for the Grapevine project. On January 5, 2017, the CBD and the CFS, filed an action in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA against Kern County and the Kern County Board of Supervisors, or collectively, the County, concerning the County’s granting of the 2016 approvals for the Grapevine project, including certification of the final EIR.EIR (the 2017 Action). The Company iswas named as a real partiesparty in interest in this action.the 2017 Action. The action alleges2017 Action alleged that the County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA, including failure to identify, analyze and mitigate impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, traffic, water supply and hydrology, growth inducing impacts, failure to adequately consider project alternatives and to provide support for the County’s findings and statement of overriding considerations in adopting the EIR and failure to adequately describe the environmental setting and project description. Petitioners sought to invalidate the County’s approval of the project and the environmental approvals and require the Company and the County to revise the environmental documentation.
On July 27, 2018, the court held a hearing on the petitioners’ claims.claims in the 2017 Action. At that hearing, the court rejected all of petitioners’ claims raised in the litigation, except petitioners’ claims that (i) the project description was inadequate and (ii) such inadequacy resulted in aspects of certain environmental impacts being improperly analyzed. As to the claims described in “(i)” and “(ii)” in the foregoing sentence, the court determined that the EIR was inadequate. In that regard, the court determined the Grapevine project description contained in the EIR allowed development to occur in the time and manner determined by the real parties in interest and, as a consequence, such development flexibility could result in the project’s internal capture rate, or ICR, -of the percent of vehicle trips remaining within the project - actually being lower than the projected ICR levels used in the EIR and that lower ICR levels warranted supplemental traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, public health and growth inducing impact analyses.


On December 11, 2018, the court in the 2017 Action ruled that portions of the EIR required corrections and supplemental environmental analysis and ordered that the County rescind the Grapevine project approvals until such supplemental environmental analysis was completed. The court issued a final judgment consistent with its ruling on February 15, 2019 and, on March 12, 2019, the County rescinded the Grapevine project approvals.
Following the County’s rescission of the Grapevine project approvals, the Company filed new applications to re-entitle the Grapevine project or re-entitlement.(the re-entitlement). The re-entitlement application involvesinvolved processing project approvals that arewere substantively similar to the Grapevine project that was unanimously approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors in December 2016. As part of the re-entitlement, supplemental environmental analysis has beenwas prepared to address the court’s ruling.ruling in the 2017 Action. Following a public comment and review period, the Kern County Planning Commission will holdheld a hearing to make a recommendationon November 14, 2019 and unanimously recommended to the Kern County Board of Supervisors onthat it approve the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. Thereafter,On December 10, 2019, the Kern County Board of Supervisors will holdheld a hearing to considerand after considering the supplemental environmental analysis and whether to actmaterial presented at the hearing unanimously voted to approve the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. On January 9, 2020, the County filed a Supplemental and Final Return to Preemptory Writ of Mandate to inform the court of the re-entitlement in a manner that the County and the Company believes is compliant with the court’s February 15, 2019 final judgment in the 2017 Action. Concurrently, the County and the Company filed a Motion for Order Discharging Writ of Mandate, which requests that the court determine that the re-entitlement complies with the court’s February 15, 2019 final judgment in the 2017 Action (the Motion for Order to Discharge 2017 Writ of Mandate). A hearing was held on February 14, 2020 for this motion and is further summarized below.
24

On January 10, 2020, CBD filed a new and separate action in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA against the County, concerning the County’s approval of the December 2019 re-entitlement, including certification of the final EIR (the 2020 Action). The Company anticipates possible Kernis named as real party in interest in the 2020 Action. The 2020 Action alleges that the County Boardfailed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of SupervisorsCEQA with respect to the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project, including failure to identify, analyze and mitigate impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, public health, and traffic, and failed to provide support for the County’s findings and statement of overriding considerations in adopting the EIR. CBD seeks to invalidate the County’s approval of the re-entitlement, the environmental approvals for the re-entitlement and require the Company and the County to revise the environmental documentation. The Company intends to vigorously defend the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project against claims made in the 2020 Action.

Centennial
On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action) pursuant to CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning the LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final environmental impact report and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, CBD and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and Centennial Founders, LLC are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.
The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and have been consolidated for adjudication before the judge presiding over the Climate Resolve Action. As of the date of this filing, there have been no substantive hearings on this matter, and neither LA County nor the real parties in interest have filed their responsive pleadings. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The court held a consolidated hearing for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, but did not issue any ruling or judgment, and ordered that further hearing be held on November 13, 2020.

The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future.

Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At September 30, 2019,2020, the investment mix was approximately 65% equity, 34% debt, and 1% money market funds. At December 31, 2018,2019, the investment mix was approximately 64%66% equity, 35%33% debt, and 1% money market funds. Equity investments comprise of value, growth, large cap, small cap and international stock funds. Debt investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities and investment grade corporate debt.

OVERVIEW
We are a diversified real estate development and agribusiness company committed to responsibly using our land and resources to meet the housing, employment, and lifestyle needs of Californians and to create value for our shareholders. In support of these objectives, we have been investing in land planning and entitlement activities for new industrial and residential land developments and in infrastructure improvements within our active industrial development. Our prime asset is approximately 270,000 acres of contiguous, largely undeveloped land that, at its most southerly border, is 60 miles north of Los Angeles and, at its most northerly border, is 15 miles east of Bakersfield.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objective is to maximize long-term shareholder value through the monetization of our land-based assets. A key element of our strategy is to entitle and then develop large-scale mixed use master planned residential and commercial/industrial real estate development projects to serve the growing populations of Southern and Central California. Our mixed use master planned residential developments have been or are in the process of being, approved or re-approved, to collectively include up to 34,783 housing units, and more than 35 million square feet of commercial space. We have obtained entitlements on Mountain Village at Tejon Ranch (MV). We and are working with Kern County on re-entitlement efforts by preparing supplemental environmental documentationpursuing final tract maps. Over the next few years, we will be defending our entitlements against litigation for our Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or Grapevine. On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave final approval to the specific plan for Centennial. The specific plan includes 19,333 residential unitsGrapevine, and more than 10.1 million square feet of commercial space. Centennial at Tejon Ranch, or Centennial, projects.
We are currently engaged in entitlement, construction, commercial sales and leasing at our fully operational commercial/industrial center Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC. All of these efforts are supported by diverse revenue streams generated from other operations, including commercialcommercial/industrial real estate, farming, mineral resources, ranch operations, and our various joint ventures.

Activities within the commercial/industrial real estate development segment include: entitling, planning and permitting of land for development; construction of infrastructure; construction of pre-leased buildings; construction of buildings to be leased or sold; and the sale of land to third parties for their own

development. The commercial/industrial real estate development segment generates revenues from land sales, building and land leasealso includes activities power plant leases,related to communications leases and landscape maintenance services. The primaryfees.
32

At the heart of the commercial/industrial real estate development segment is TRCC, a 20 million square foot commercial/industrial development is TRCC.on Interstate 5 just north of the Los Angeles basin. Nearly six million square feet of industrial, commercial and retail space has already been developed, including distribution centers for IKEA, Caterpillar, Famous Footwear, L'Oreal, and Dollar General. TRCC includes developments east and westsits on both sides of Interstate 5, at TRCC-East and TRCC-West, respectively.giving distributors immediate access to the west coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor.
We are also involved in multiple joint ventures with several partners that help us expand our commercial/industrial business activities within TRCC:

The farming segment produces revenues from the sale of wine grapes, almonds, and pistachios.
33

Lastly, the ranch operations segment consists of game management revenues and ancillary land uses such as grazing leases and filming.
The COVID-19 Pandemic
The U.S. and global economies continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. There are no reliable estimates of how long the pandemic will last or how many more people will be affected by it, or its full impact on our business and operations. We operate in the State of California and our operations were initially subject to the "shelter-in-place" order issued by the California Governor in March 2020 (the Stay at Home Order) in addition to orders set by Los Angeles and Kern County governments. The State of California subsequently took a more cautious approach in reopening and even reversed or delayed reopening initiatives in accordance with the California Department of Health's Guidance on Closure of Sectors in Response to COVID-19 on July 1, 2020. On August 31, 2020 California launched a new reopening system to better track when counties will be able to reopen businesses. Our first priority with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic is to provide for the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers and others with whom we partner in our business activities. Employees are required to wear masks when working in our offices, while also maintaining proper safe social distancing. Subject to the use of appropriate risk mitigation and safety practices, we are fully continuing our business operations in this unprecedented business environment.
We continue to see signs of a rebound from the impact of the global pandemic and resulting governmental shut downs. In September, the Outlets at Tejon experienced the highest overall sales of any September since our grand opening. Our gas stations at the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center reported fuel volume sales at near pre-COVID-19 levels during August and September. Under California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy, we were just recently allowed to open our full service restaurants, albeit at 25% capacity, and our retail, gas stations, convenience stores and logistic centers remain open. See the Results of Operations by segment for further discussion on COVID-19 impact on our various reporting segments.
In the third quarter of 2020, our mineral resource segment continued to see declines in oil royalties when compared to previous years as the price per barrel has not fully recovered from the global supply of oil exceeding demand during the first part of the year, which was significantly reduced after pandemic-related guidelines impacted and restricted travel. In our commercial/industrial real estate development segment, we have worked with all our commercial tenants, at their request, and agreed to rent payment deferrals into 2021 in order to ease some of the financial burden our tenants have experienced due to the limited foot traffic in their stores, as pandemic-related restrictions limited commercial operations dung the second quarter of 2020. For further discussion on lease deferrals see Real Estate Commercial/Industrial segment discussion below. Lastly, pricing for almonds and pistachios in our farming segment has seen a continued downward trend that may persist for the remainder of the year, largely due to anticipated production levels. Additionally, our pistachio crop did not receive adequate chilling hours during the 2020 winter, severely hampering spring bloom and yields.
The broader and long-term implications of COVID-19 and actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the pandemic on our results of operations and overall financial performance still remain uncertain. As we manage through the pandemic, we will continue to evaluate our operations for expense reductions and cash savings. So far, measures that we have taken include renegotiating contracts and pricing with a significant portion of our vendors, and right sizing our labor needs.
Summary of Third Quarter and Fiscal 2020Performance
For the first nine monthsthird quarter of 20192020, we had net income attributable to common stockholders of $873,000$398,000 compared to $3,948,000net income of $47,000 during the previous year. Over the comparative quarters, farming net operating income experienced an $1,806,000 improvement driven by the recognition of insurance proceeds, for lost pistachio yields discussed above, improving pistachio revenues by $3,367,000. Offsetting this improvement was a $2,129,000 increase in farming expenses due to the timing of 2020 almond cost of sales and increased water and irrigation costs. Offsetting this improvement was a $1,106,000 decrease in our share of joint venture operating results due to declines in operating profits for Petro Travel Plaza largely due to COVID-19 closures. Lastly, the Company recorded additional tax expense of $396,000 due to permanent differences related to Section 162(m). The Section 162(m) limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts Jobs Act, which did not impact the Company until this year.
For the first nine months of 2020, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $617,000 compared to net income of $873,000 during the first nine months of 2019. The factors driving our quarterly operating results were also the primary drivers influencing our results for the first nine months of 2018. The leading drivers for this decrease were2020. In addition to those factors, the Company saw a $6,270,000$2,248,000 decrease in farming revenues resulting from the down bearing year of our pistachio crop and timing of almond sales, by comparison, we sold 1,238,000 pounds of pistachios in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 3,500,000 pounds for the same period last year; and a $3,635,000 decrease in mineral resources revenue resulting from fewer water sale opportunities in 2019 and lower pricescommercial/industrial net operating income as a result of an increase in California State Water Project, or SWP, water allocation due to above average winter rain and snow fall. The above decreases were partially offset by a $2,635,000 increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures resulting from an increase in our share of earnings from the TA/Petro joint venture, and a $1,285,000 improvement in commercial profit, which was primarily driven by $1,533,000 in profit recognized onnot having a land contributionsale like it did in 2019. Offsetting this decrease was a $1,331,000 gain on the sale of real estate to the Company's TRC-MRC 3 joint venture.Petro Travel Plaza.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides a narrative discussion of our results of operations. It contains the results of operations for each reporting segment of the business and is followed by a discussion of our financial position. It is useful to read the reporting segment information in conjunction with Note 14 (Reporting Segments and Related Information) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimates that are likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, allocation of costs related to land sales and leases, stock compensation, our future ability to utilize deferred tax assets, and defined benefit retirement plan. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, our critical accounting policies have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies. Please also refer to Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for newly adopted accounting principles.

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $2,710,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $90,000, or 3%, from $2,620,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is attributed to additional spark spread revenues from the Pastoria Energy Facility, which resulted from abnormally high summer energy demand, as the service region experienced record-breaking heat waves during the summer months. The Company does not expect this trend to continue into the fall and winter months. Offsetting the improvements in spark spread revenues were lower management fees, as construction of the TRC-MRC 3 joint venture was completed in 2019 an increase of $175,000, or 7%, from $2,445,000and no construction management fees were earned in 2020 compared to the prior period..
•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $2,026,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The2020, an increase in commercial revenues is primarily attributed to a $219,000 increase in other revenues associated with a land purchase option arrangement.
Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses wereof $58,000, or 3%, from $1,968,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019,2019. The increase is primarily caused by an increase in chemicals used in the landscaping department of $290,000, or 17%, from $1,678,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The$27,000 and an increase in expense is attributed to a $565,000 increase in Tejon-Castac Water District, or TCWD, fixed water assessments. This increase was offset by a $92,000 decrease in general and administrative overhead, a $59,000 decrease in marketing expenses, and a $44,000 decrease in stock compensation.maintenance fees of $25,000.

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $7,144,000 for the first nine months of 2020, a decrease of $4,897,000, or 41%, from $12,041,000 for the first nine months of 2019, an increase2019. The absence of $5,253,000, or 77%, from $6,788,000 for the first nine months of 2018. The increase is primarily attributed to a $4,313,000 increase in land sales revenues associated with a land contribution to TRC-MRC 3in 2020, as discussed in Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures). Other factors contributing to improved revenues include improved spark spread revenues fromwell as the Pastoria Energy Facility of $355,000, or 11%, resulting from higher than expected 2018 spark spread estimates. There was also an increase in TRCCdecreased construction management fees, and reimbursementsdiscussed within the quarterly results, drove a majority of $300,000 resulting from management fees earned through the ongoing development and construction of TRC-MRC 3. Lastly, the Company earned $200,000 from a land purchase option arrangement in 2019.this decrease.

The decrease is attributed the absence of $3,968,000, or 90%, from $4,385,000 during the first nine months of 2018.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had no leases that expired, nor did we have any material lease renewals.
The logistics operators currently located within TRCC have demonstrated success in serving all of California and the western region of the United States, and we are building from their success in our marketing efforts. We will continue to focus our marketing strategy for TRCC-East and TRCC-West on the significant labor and logistical benefits of our site, the pro-business approach of Kern County, and the demonstrated success of the current tenants and owners within our development. Our strategy fits within the logistics model that many companies are using, which favors large, centralized distribution facilities which have been strategically located to maximize the balance of inbound and outbound efficiencies, rather than a number of decentralized smaller distribution centers. The world class logistics operators located within TRCC have demonstrated success through utilization of this model. With access to markets of over 40 million people for next-day delivery service, they are also demonstrating success with e-commerce fulfillment.

Our Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation allows businesses to secure the many benefits and cost reductions associated with streamlined movement of goods in and out of the zone. This FTZ designation is further supplemented by the Economic Development Incentive Policy, or EDIP, adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. EDIP is aimed to expand and enhance the County's competitiveness by taking affirmative steps to attract new businesses and to encourage the growth and resilience of existing businesses. EDIP provides incentives such as assistance in obtaining tax incentives, building supporting infrastructure, and workforce development. 
We believe that the FTZ and EDIP, along with our ability to provide fully-entitled, shovel-ready land parcels to support buildings of any size, especiallyincluding buildings 1.0 million square feet or larger, can provide us with a potential marketing advantage in the future. We continue to expand ourOur marketing efforts to include industrial users inthe Inland Empire region of Southern California, the Santa Clarita Valley of northern Los Angeles County, and the northern part of the San Fernando Valley due to the limited availability of new product and high real estate costs in these locations. Tenants in these geographic areas are typically userslocations, and the San Joaquin Valley of relatively smaller facilities. In pursuit of such opportunities, theCalifornia. The Company is inconstantly analyzing the processmarket and evaluating expansion of constructing a 579,040 square foot distribution facility with Majestic. The Company and Majesticindustrial buildings for lease as we have successfully leased 67% of this distribution facility prior to its completion,done with the tenant taking possessionbuildings developed by TRC-MRC1 and TRC-MRC 3 either on our own or in the fourth quarter of 2019. This new construction is building on the success in 2018 of fully leasing a 480,000 square foot building to Dollar General and to SalonCentric, L’Oréal USA’s professional salon distribution operation, in a partnership with Majestic.partnerships.
A potential disadvantage to our development strategy is our distance from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in comparison to the warehouse/distribution centers located in the Inland Empire, a large industrial area located east of Los Angeles, which continues its expansion eastward beyond Riverside and San Bernardino, to include Perris, Moreno Valley, and Beaumont. As development in the Inland Empire continues to move east and farther away from the ports, our potential disadvantage of our distance from the ports is being mitigated. Strong demand for large distribution facilities is driving development farther east in a search for large entitled parcels.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,2020, vacancy rates in the Inland Empire fell 50 basis pointsdecreased by 0.6% to 2.6%,2.7% from the lowest rate on record for this region.prior quarter, remaining at six-year lows. Construction completions totaled only 2.43.5 million square feet in the quarter ended September 30, 2019,2020, which is belowlower than the 5.2 million square feet typically added each quarter for the past five years. The low vacancy rates have led to a year-over-yearan increase in lease rates of 14.7%1.4% within the Inland Empire. As lease rates increase in the Inland Empire, we may begin to have greater pricing advantages due to our lower land basis.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,2020, vacancy rates in the northern Los Angeles industrial market, which includes the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, dropped 20 basis pointsdecreased by 0.3% to 1.5%.2.4%, remaining at six-year record low. Rents remain at an all-time high and have well surpassed the previous peak seen in 2007. Average asking rents increased 8.8% year1.2% over year. Vacancies may rise in future quarters as new industrial space is delivered to the market. Conditions remain tight and tenants are finding it difficult to find space that meets their needs. Demand for industrial space in this market will also continue to be driven by domestic and global consumption levels. As industrial vacancy rates are at historic lows, industrial users seeking larger spaces are having to go further north into neighboring Kern County and particularly, TRCC, which has attracted increased attention as market conditions continue to tighten.prior quarter.
We expect the commercial/industrial real estate development segment to continue to experience costs, net of amounts capitalized, primarily related to professional service fees, marketing costs, commissions, planning costs, and staffing costs as we continue to pursue development opportunities. These costs are expected to remain consistent with current levels of expense with any variability in the future tied to specific absorption transactions in any given year.

The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue to increase over several years as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future land sales are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development of commercial and industrial properties.
As described earlier, in March and July 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, California took actions that continue to limit non-essential businesses and services. Most of our operations in this segment have been deemed an "essential" business. In September, the Outlets at Tejon experienced the highest overall sales of any September since our grand opening. Our gas stations at the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center reported fuel volume sales at near pre-COVID-19 levels during August and September. We will, however, continue to monitor the traffic count and assess the collectability of outstanding receivables from our tenants through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tenants began requesting various forms of rent relief beginning in March 2020 throughout the second and third quarters. Although the requests range in scope, the most common request is for a full or partial rent deferment for three months.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company has agreed to defer rent for certain tenants at TRCC, with the requirement that a significant amount of the deferred rent will be fully repaid in 2021. The following table sets forth information regarding the minimum rents billed and deferred for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Real Estate – Resort/Residential:
We are in the preliminary stages of property development for this segment; hence, no revenues or profits are attributed to this segment.
Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $273,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $309,000, or 53%, from $582,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $111,000, or 24%, from $471,000 for2019. When compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributed to higher professional services related to project branding and consulting of $259,000 incurred duringprior year period, the three months ended September 30, 2019. We expect to see continual increase in professional services throughout the remainder of the year. The increaseCompany experienced a $302,000 decrease in professional service expense was partially offset by a $105,000 decreasecosts.

Increases in payroll, stock compensation and overhead costs, net of capitalization, of $185,000 offset some of the savings in professional services. The increase in payroll is primarily attributed to non-recurring severance payments and the issuance of new market-based performance shares.
As of September 30, 2020 COVID-19 has not had a material impact on this segment. The Company will aggressively defend its entitlements against litigation for both Grapevine and Centennial. However, extended court closures under local and state ordinances may delay previously scheduled hearings.
Most of the expenditures and capital investment to be incurred within our resort/residential real estate segment will continue to focus on the following:
•For Centennial, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors gave final approval to theapproved Centennial specific plan on April 30, 2019. The specific plan for Centennial includes 19,333 residential units and more than 10.1 million square feet of commercial space. The Company is working with the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to address the recentlylitigation filed action in the Los Angeles Superior Court. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
•For Grapevine, inon December 11, 2018, the Kern County Superior Court ruled that portionswe had to amend our EIR by preparing supplemental environmental documentation to further analyze the Grapevine project’s internal capture rate (ICR), which is the percent of vehicle trips remaining within the environmental impact report required corrections and ordered thatproject. On December 10, 2019, the Kern County rescindBoard of Supervisors adopted the supplemental re-circulated EIR prepared in response to the court ruling and reapproved the development of Grapevine project approvals until such supplemental environmental analysis was completed.unanimously. The Company is working on filing new applicationswith Kern County to re-entitleaddress litigation filed action in the Grapevine project.Kern County Superior Court. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
•For MV, we have a fully entitled project and received approvalapprovals of Tentative Tract Map 1 for our first four phases of development and of our commercial site plan for the first phase of commercial development. The timing of the MV development in the coming years will depend on the strength of both the economy and the real estate market, including both primary and second home markets. In moving the project forward, we will focus on the preparation of engineering leading to the final map for the first phases of MV, consumer and market research studies and fine tuning of development business plans, as well as defining the possible capital funding sources for this development.
•Over the next several years, we expect to explore funding opportunities for the future development of our projects. Such funding opportunities could come from a variety of sources, such as joint ventures with financial partners, debt financing, or the Company’s issuance of additional common stock.

The decrease is attributed to a $410,000 decline in oil and gas royalties driven by depressed oil prices as a result of reduced demand and oversupply when compared to the prior period. The decrease was offset by a $184,000 increase in cement, sand, and rock royalties resulting from an increaseuptick in demand from the Company's tenant, National Cement as a result of $204,000, or 15%, from $1,355,000road infrastructure projects.

As anticipated changes comearise in the future related to groundwater management within California, such as limited pumping in the over drafted groundwater basins outside of our lands, we believe that water banking operations, ground water recharge programs, and access to water contracts aslike those we have purchased in the past will become even more important and valuable in servicing our projects. Water sales opportunities forAlthough the remainder of 2019 will be limited because of above average winter rain and snow fall, which increased thecurrent SWP water allocation is at 20%, uncertainty remains regarding the possibility of having additional water sales this year given the level of water currently being recovered from Kern County water banks as a result of prior year water banking activities.
Social distancing and California's Stay at Home Order have reduced the demand for oil and gasoline, leading to 75%.
We doan oil surplus. Thus far, the price per barrel of oil has decreased over 39% from its December 31, 2019 levels. At these levels, the Company does not expect increasedan increase in oil productionroyalties for the next twelve months. The Company believes that pricing will slowly and gradually improve once consumers feel safe and the global economy reopens, fully. However, it is very difficult to predict when this will occur, particularly given recent spikes in 2019 if prices remain at current levels. We currently expectCOVID-19 cases across the United States, and the slowing of reopening initiatives in many states, including California.
On July 15, 2020, our largest oil royalty tenant, California Resources Corporation, or CRC, filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that will allow them to continue its programimprove their liquidity and debt positions. CRC received approval under the voluntary petition on October 13, 2020 and is out of producingbankruptcy and is once again being traded on public markets.. CRC has also received permission from the courts to allow them to pay lease and oil royalty obligations without interruption. At current active wells at lower levelsprices, CRC has reduced production with no near-term intent to begin new drilling programs until oil prices reach higher levels. CRC has approved permits and drill sites on our land and has delayed the start of drilling as it evaluates the market. A positive aspect of our lease with CRC is that the approved drill sites are in an area of the ranch where the development and production costs are moderate due to the depths being drilled. CRC is current on all payments due to us through September 30, 2020.

•Farming segment revenues were $4,602,000$8,537,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease2020, an increase of $6,234,000,$3,935,000, or 58%86%, from $10,836,000$4,602,000 during the same period in 2018.2019. The changes are primarily attributed to:
◦For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company sold 959,000 pounds of pistachios compared to 3,500,000 pounds for the same period last year resulting in a $4,888,000 decrease in revenues. The significant decrease in sales is driven by lower production as the 2019 crop year is a down bearing crop year for pistachios. Of the quantity sold, 819,000 pounds and 140,000 pounds pertain to the 2019 current crop and 2018 carryover crop, respectively. The Company has filed an insurance claim to recover a portion of the lost production.

◦The sale of 456,000 pounds of pistachios in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 831,000 pounds during the prior year period. The difference in sales volume reduced pistachio revenues by $1,260,000. As a hedge against below average production for its almond and pistachio crops, the Company purchases crop production insurance annually. This insurance will pay for reduced production if crop production in the year falls below the insured levels. Although 2020 is not a down bearing year for pistachios, the crop did not receive adequate chilling hours as a result of the warm 2020 winter. Crops with inadequate chilling hours will have depressed yields and blooms. As a result of this, the Company filed a claim with its insurance provider in order to recuperate a portion of the reduced production revenues as a result of lost production. The insurance claim in the amount of $3,789,000 was finalized during the third quarter and is included in the farming revenues above.
◦Almond revenues decreased $1,163,000 as a result of a decrease in almond sales. Comparatively we sold 216,000 and 615,000 pounds of our current year crop as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease is attributed to timing differences in which almonds were processed and sold to our largest customer. In the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we sold zero and 360,000 pounds of current year almonds, respectively, to our largest customer. We expect almond sales to be completed during the fourth quarter.
◦We experienced a $219,000 decrease in other revenues as a result of lower water usage reimbursements from a farm land tenant as a result of having fewer acres leased.
◦Almond revenues increased $654,000 when compared to the prior year period. In 2019, delays in almond processing severely reduced the amount of almonds that could be sold in the third quarter.
•Farming segment expenses were $5,979,000$8,108,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease2020, an increase of $562,000,$2,129,000, or 9%36%, from $6,541,000$5,979,000 during the same period in 2018.2019. The decreaseCompany attributes the increase to recording an additional

The Company also experienced an $895,000 increase in fixed water charges with Wheeler Ridge as a result of the dry 2020 winter rain season. Lastly, the remainder of the increase can be attributed to the following:
◦Pistachio cost of sales increased $926,000 as a result of selling our entire pistachio crop as of September 30, 2019. Total pistachio production costs remain consistent over the comparative period.
◦Almond cost of sales decreased $794,000 as a result of the timing of 2019 current year crop sales as discussed above.
◦Water holding costs from WRMWSD decreased $703,000 as a result of the heavier rainfalls discussed within our Mineral Resources section above.

operating results discussion above.

Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are highly seasonal with a majority of our sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters. Nut and grape crop markets are particularly sensitive to the size of each year’s world crop and the demand for those crops. Large crops in California and abroad can rapidly depress prices. Crop prices, especially almonds, are also adversely affected by a strong U.S. dollar, which makes U.S. exports more expensive and decreases demand for the products we produce. China is the second largest purchaser of California almonds and its currency exchange rate has remained steady thus far in 2020. The low value of the U.S. dollar in prior years has helped to maintain strong almond prices in overseas markets. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the same period in 2018,In 2020, the U.S. dollar strengthened againstcontinue to weaken after the Chinese Yuan, whileworst of the Euro remains consistent. The full potential impact of an increasing U.S. dollar to our pricing and revenue is not known at this time. Additionally, increaseCOVID-19 pandemic hit in the second quarter. Lastly, increased tariffs from China and India, which are major customers of almonds and pistachios, couldcan make American products less competitive and push customers to switch to another producing country.
Our pistachioThe Company's agribusiness operations are deemed essential and have been allowed to operate under California's COVID-19 Orders. The Company continues to provide its employees with face masks and safety training to promote a safe working environment. As of the third quarter, COVID-19 has not had a measurable impact on the Company's farming operations.
For 2020, the almond industry is expecting record production due to a great bloom cycle. The industry continues to see strong demand for its product but the expected increase in production has begun to negatively impact prices. The Company's 2020 almond yields saw a small increase over 2019 levels as a result of putting into service two additional almond crop harvestunits. The mix of demand has been changed in the near term as a result of COVID-19 as more product is complete with yields being much lower than their 2018 record levels given thatmoving through wholesale markets and less through high end users such as restaurants. This temporary trend has also negatively impacted pricing. Thus far, the average price per pound for the 2020 crop is $2.15 per pound compared to $2.80 per pound for the 2019 crop.
Although 2020 is an alternateon production year for pistachios, unfavorable warm winter conditions adversely impacted our pistachio's blooms and yields. Overall 2020 pistachio yields decreased 45% when compared to 2019 which was a down bearing year. In terms of pricing, our 2020 crop year. Our preliminary harvestis selling for almonds$2.04 per pound compared to $1.98 in 2019. The impact of lower chill hours has impacted pistachio growers in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley in similar areas as to where we farm and lower production has been seen in these areas. Overall for California, production is complete. However it is unknown what edibleup due to 2020 being an on production year and chill hours being greater in growing areas to the north of our lands.
For wine grapes there was not a discernible difference in terms of yields will be until they are further processed. Lastly, our wine grape yields are expectedand pricing when compared to be consistent with prior years.year.
Lastly, the impact of new state ground water management laws on new plantings and continuing crop production remains unknown. Water delivery and water availability continues to be a long-term concern within California. Any limitation of delivery of SWP water and the absence of available alternatives during drought periods could potentially cause permanent

damage to orchards and vineyards throughout California. While this could impact us, we believe we have sufficient water resources available to meet our requirements in 2019.for the remainder of 2020.

General Outlook
The operations of the Company are seasonal and future results of operations cannot be predicted based on quarterly results. Historically, the Company's largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Real estate activity and leasing activities are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities and therefore are difficult to predict from period to period.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global economic disruptions have impacted our operations and are expected to continue to impact our operations for the foreseeable future. For a detailed discussion of the pandemic and its expected effects, refer to the section above titled "The COVID-19 Pandemic" and "Results of Operations by Segment."
For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could potentially adversely affect us, please refer to Part I, Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, or Annual Report, and to Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual
44

Report. We continue to be involved in various legal proceedings related to leased acreage. For a further discussion, please refer to Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had net income tax expense of $320,000$1,111,000 compared to $1,333,000$320,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. The effective tax rates approximated 27%229% and 25%27% for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2019,2020, income tax receivables were $256,000.$274,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses. The Company recognized income tax expense primarily as a result of permanent differences related to Section 162(m) limitations and discrete tax expense associated with stock compensation. The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts Jobs Act, which did not impact the Company until this year. The discrete item was triggered when stock grants were issued to participants at a price less than the original grant price, causing a deferred tax shortfall. The shortfall recognized during the quarter represents the reversal of excess deferred tax assets recognized in prior periods. The recognition of the shortfall is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company's current income tax payable.

Cash Flow and Liquidity
Our financial position allows us to pursue our strategies of land entitlement, development, and conservation. Accordingly, we have established well-defined priorities for our available cash, including investing in core operating segments to achieve profitable future growth. We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, investment proceeds, and short-term borrowings from our bank credit facilities. In the past, we have also issued common stock and used the proceeds for capital investment activities.
To enhance shareholder value over the long-term, we will continue to make investments in our real estate segments to secure land entitlement approvals, build infrastructure for our developments, ensure adequate future water supplies, and provide funds for general land development activities. Within our farming segment, we will make investments as needed to improve efficiency and add capacity to its operations when it is profitable to do so.
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $56,536,000$50,354,000 at September 30, 2019,2020, a decrease of $23,121,000$15,836,000 from $79,657,000$66,190,000 as of December 31, 2018.2019.

Operating Activities
During the first nine months of 2020, the Company's operations provided $7,588,000. The primary drivers was distributions of $6,269,000 from our unconsolidated joint ventures. Additionally, we collected on a portion of our outstanding receivables related to farming.

The primary drivers were $3,656,000 in receivables collections offset by payments on current liabilities of $2,952,000 . When compared to the prior year, the decrease in cash flows is primarily attributed to fewer water sales, lower pistachio yields due to the down-bearing crop year, and the timing of distributions of earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures, payable payments and accounts receivable collections.$2,952,000.

Grapevine, and costs related to approval of specific plan of $3,319,000 for Centennial. At TRCC, we spent $3,328,000 on water treatment facility improvements, water infrastructure improvements and planning. Within our farming segment, we spent $2,873,711 replacing old machinery and equipment along with developing new almond orchards. We also purchased marketable securities and water for $23,451,000 and $2,659,000, respectively. Our capital outlays were offset by distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1,835,000, CFD reimbursements of $1,385,000 and proceeds from maturity of marketable securities of $24,558,000.
As we move forward, we will continue to use cash from operations, proceeds from the maturity of securities, and anticipated distributions from joint ventures to fund real estate project investments.investments, including the investments summarized below.
Our estimated capital investment, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, for the remainder of 20192020 is primarily related to our real estate projects. These estimated investments include approximately $1,765,000$1,899,000 of infrastructure development at TRCC-East to support continued commercial retail and industrial development and to expand water facilities to support future anticipated absorption. We also plan to invest approximately $210,000$331,000 to continue the development of new almond orchards and replacing farm equipment. The farm investments are part of a long-term farm management program to redevelop declining orchards and vineyards to maintain and improve future farm revenues. Lastly, we expect to invest up to $3,723,000$2,951,000 for land planning, re-entitlement activities, litigation, related to entitlement approvals,mapping, federal and state agency permitting activities, and development activities at MV, Centennial, and Grapevine during the remainder of 2019.2020.
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, was $2,059,000 and 2018, was $2,116,000, and $2,221,000, respectively and is classified inwithin real estate development. We also capitalized payroll costs related to development, pre-construction, and construction projects which aggregated $2,877,000$2,742,000 and $2,983,000$2,877,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Financing Activities
During the first nine months of 2020, financing activities used $5,351,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $3,767,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $1,584,000.
During the first nine months of 2019, financing activities provided$1,162,000 $1,162,000 as a result of drawing $5,000,000 on the Company's RLC. This was offset by long-term debt service of $2,994,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $844,000.
During the first nine months of 2018, financing activities used $4,247,000 in cash primarily for servicing of long-term debt of $3,018,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $1,063,000.
It is difficult to accurately predict cash flows due to the nature of our businesses and fluctuating economic conditions. Our earnings and cash flows will be affected from period to period by the commodity nature of our farming and mineral operations, the timing of sales and leases of property within our development projects, and the beginning of development within our residential projects. The timing of sales and leases within our development projects is difficult to predict due to the time necessary to complete the development process and negotiate sales or lease contracts. Often, the timing aspect of land development can lead to particular years or periods having more or less earnings than comparable periods. The ongoing pandemic, COVID-19, continues to have a negative impact on traffic, consumer spend and demand for fuel, which have a direct impact on our operations, we also continue to experience lower oil royalties, which can negatively impact our cash flows. In response to this, we will continue to evaluate our operations for expense reductions and cash savings. Based on our experience, and assuming the impacts of the COVID-19 do not materially worsen, we believe we will have adequate cash flows, cash balances, and availability on our line of credit (discussed below) over the next twelve months to fund internal operations. COVID-19 has not impacted our ability to access traditional funding sources. As we move forward with the completion of the litigation, permitting and engineering design for our master planned communities and prepare to move into the development stage, we will need to secure additional funding through the issuance of equity and secure other forms of financing such as joint ventures and possibly debt financing.

We continuously evaluate our short-term and long-term capital investment needs. Based on the timing of capital investments, we may supplement our current cash, marketable securities, and operational funding sources through the sale of common stock and the incurrence of additional debt.

Capital Structure and Financial Condition
At September 30, 2019,2020, total capitalization at book value was $502,345,000,$503,136,000, consisting of $67,919,000$58,129,000 of debt and $434,426,000$445,007,000 of equity, resulting in a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio of approximately 13.5%11.6%.
TheOn October 13, 2014, the Company hasas borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a Term Note and a
Revolving Line of Credit Note, (collectively,with Wells Fargo, or collectively the Credit Facility) with Wells Fargo.Facility. The Credit Facility includedadded a $70,000,000
term note,loan, or Term Note, and aLoan, to the then existing $30,000,000 revolving line of credit, or RLC. In August 2019, the Company
amended the Term Note (Amended Term Note) to extend theand extended its maturity to June 5, 2029 and amended the RLC to expand
the capacity from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 and extend the maturity to October 5, 2024.
46

The Amended Term Note had a $59,717,000$55,879,000 balance as of September 30, 2019.2020. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Amended Term Loan is LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the term of the Amended Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.16%. The Amended Term Note requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Amended Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due June 5, 2029. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.
The RLC had an outstanding balance of $5,000,000 as of September 30, 2019 and no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2018. The outstanding balance was paid off in October 2019. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of this RLC (which matures in October 2024), we can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.
Any future borrowings under the RLC willare expected to be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the RLC, undrawn amounts under the RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties, which are typical in this type of borrowing arrangement.
The Amended Credit Facility requires compliance with three financial covenants: (a) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; (b) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (c) maintain liquid assets equal to or greater than $20,000,000. At September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants.
The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of TRC to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, or incur liens on any assets.
The Amended Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the Amended Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency; and a change in control without consent of bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Amended Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.

We also have a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement whose principal and interest due monthly began October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments ending on September 1, 2028. The balance as of September 30, 20192020 was $3,202,000. The proceeds from this promissory note were used to eliminate debt that had been previously used to provide long-term financing for a building being leased to Starbucks and provide additional working capital for future investment.$2,250,000.
Our current and future capital resource requirements will be provided primarily from current cash and marketable securities, cash flow from ongoing operations, distributions from joint ventures, proceeds from the sale of developed and undeveloped parcels, potential sales of assets, additional use of debt or draw downsdrawdowns against our line of credit, proceeds from the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs through CFD bond debt (described below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”), and the issuance of additional common stock.
On April 25,In May 2019, we renewed ourfiled an updated shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which went effective in May 2019. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell in the future one or more offerings of, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination of the foregoing. The shelf registration allows for efficient and timely access to capital markets and when combined with our other potential funding sources just noted, provides us with a variety of capital funding options that can then be used and appropriately matched to the funding needs of the Company.
AtAlthough we have a strong liquidity position at September 30, 2019, we had $56,536,0002020 with $50,354,000 in cash and securities and had $30,000,000$35,000,000 available on our RLC to meet any short-term liquidity needs.needs, we have taken steps to maximize positive cash flow, in case a lack of liquidity in the economy resulting from the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic limits our access to third party funding. We are doing this by responsibly limiting cash expenditures to the extent practical. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) and Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We continue to expect that substantial investments will be required in order to develop our land assets. In order to meet these capital requirements, we may need to secure additional debt financing and continue to renew our existing credit facilities. In addition to debt financing, we will use other capital alternatives such as joint ventures with financial partners, sales of assets, and the issuance of common stock. We will use a combination of the above funding sources to properly match funding requirements with the assets or development project being funded. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing or that we can obtain financing at favorable terms. We believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our cash needs and our capital investment requirements in the near-term as described earlier in the cash flow and liquidity discussions.

The categories above include purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities reflected on our balance sheet under GAAP. A “purchase obligation” is defined in Item 303(a)(5)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K as “an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the registrant that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.” Based on this definition, the table above includes only those contracts that include fixed or minimum obligations. It does not include normal purchases, which are made in the ordinary course of business.
Estimated water payments include the Nickel Family, LLC water contract, which obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through 2044 and SWP contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District. These contracts for the supply of future water run through 2035. Please refer to Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding water assets.
Our cash contract commitments consist of contracts in various stages of completion related to infrastructure development within our industrial developments and entitlement costs related to our industrial and residential development projects. Also included in the cash contract commitments are operating lease obligations. Our operating lease obligations are for office equipment. At the present time, we do not have any capital lease obligations or purchase obligations outstanding.
As discussed in Note 13 (Retirement Plans) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we have long-term liabilities for deferred employee compensation, including pension and supplemental retirement plans. Payments in the above table reflect estimates of future defined benefit plan contributions from the Company to the plan trust, estimates of payments to employees from the plan trust, and estimates of future payments to employees from the Company that are in the SERP program. We contributed $165,000 to our defined benefit plan in 2019.

2020.
Our financial obligations to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are prescribed in the Conservation Agreement, as discussed in Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Our advances to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are dependent on the occurrence of certain events and their timing, and are therefore subject to change in amount and period. The amounts included above are the minimum amounts we anticipate contributing through the year 2021, at which time our current contractual obligation terminates.

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. TRPFFA created two CFDs, the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $55,000,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $65,000,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA.
In connection with the sale of bonds there is a standby letter of credit for $4,468,000$4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. As development occurs within TRCC-East, there is a mechanism in the bond documents to reduce the amount of the letter of credit. The Company believes as of September 30, 2019,2020, that the letter of credit will likely never be drawn upon. This letter of credit is for a two-year period of time and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $68,000. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased within each CFD is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize an obligation as of September 30, 2019.2020.
At September 30, 2019,2020, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $86,845,000.$134,249,000. We provided a guarantee on $71,559,000$119,215,000 of this debt, relating to our joint ventures with Rockefeller and Majestic. Because of positive cash flow generation within the Rockefeller and Majestic joint ventures, we, as of September 30, 2019,2020, do not currently expect the guarantee to ever be called upon. We do not provide a guarantee on the $15,286,000$15,034,000 of debt related to our joint venture with TA/Petro.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, excluding stock compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it permits investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense. By excluding interest expense and income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other companies without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss on sales of real estate. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.

The Company utilizes NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures as a measure of financial or operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures provides investors with additional information concerning operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We also use this measure internally to monitor the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our computation of this non-GAAP measure may not be the same as similar measures reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures.
The following schedule reconciles net income of unconsolidated joint ventures to NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures. Please refer to Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on joint ventures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial or commodity market prices or rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and commodity prices.
Financial Market Risks
Our exposure to financial market risks includes changes to interest rates and credit risks related to marketable securities, interest rates related to our outstanding indebtedness and trade receivables.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields and prudently managing risk. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate exposure, we limit our investments to securities with a maturity of less than five years and an investment grade rating from Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The RLC had anno outstanding balance of $5,000,000 as of September 30, 2019.2020. The interest rate on the RLC can either float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed term for a limited period of time and change only at maturity of the fixed rate portion. The floating rate and fixed rate options within our RLC help us manage our interest rate exposure on any outstanding balances.
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of two term loans, one of which was for $59,717,000$55,879,000 as of September 30, 20192020 and is tied to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.70%. The interest rate for the term of this loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 4.16%. The outstanding balance on the second term loan as of September 30, 20192020 was $3,202,000$2,250,000 and has a fixed rate of 4.25%. We believe it is prudent at times to limit the variability of floating-rate interest payments and have from time to time entered into interest rate swap arrangements to manage those fluctuations, as we did with the first term loan (discussed here).
Market risk related to our farming inventories ultimately depends on the value of almonds, grapes, and pistachios at the time of payment or sale. Credit risk related to our receivables depends upon the financial condition of our customers. Based on historical experience with our current customers and our periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure.
The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present our debt obligations and marketable securities and their related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Commodity Price Exposure
Farming inventories and accounts receivables are exposed to adverse price fluctuations. Farming inventories consists of farming cultural and processing costs associated with crop production. Farming inventory costs are recorded as incurred. Historically, these costs have been recovered through crop sales occurring after harvest.
With respect to accounts receivables, the amount at risk primarily relates to farm crops. These receivables are recorded as estimates of the prices that ultimately will be received for the crops. The final price is generally not known for several months following the close of our fiscal year. Of the $4,091,000$9,731,000 of accounts receivable outstanding at September 30, 2019, $2,490,000,2020, $1,370,000, or 61%14%, is at risk to changing prices. Of the amount at risk to changing prices, $1,688,000$898,000 is attributable to pistachios and $220,000$471,000 is attributable to almonds.
The price estimated for the remaining accounts receivable for pistachios recorded at September 30, 20192020 was $1.98$2.04 per pound and $2.01$1.98 per pound at December 31, 2018.2019. For each $0.01 change in the price per pound of pistachios, our receivable for pistachios increases or decreases by $8,500.$4,400. Although the final price per pound of pistachios, and therefore the extent of the risk is presently unknown, pricing over the past three years has ranged from $2.00$1.98 to $4.25.$2.04. With respect to almonds, the price estimated for the remaining receivable at September 30, 2020 was $2.36$2.63 per pound, as compared to $2.62$2.63 per pound at December 31, 2018.2019. For each $0.01 change in the price of almonds, our receivable for almonds increases or decreases by $846.$1,800. The range of final prices over the last three years for almonds has ranged from $2.58$2.57 to $3.67$2.63 per pound.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Please refer to Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.


Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes toThe following supplements and updates the risk factors disclosed in itemPart I, Item 1A or elsewhere“Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as updated by the risk factors in Part II, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.. If any of the risks discussed in these filings occur, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Some statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements in the following risk factor constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.


Risks Related to Our Business

Our results of operation could be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. This outbreak, which has spread widely throughout the United States and nearly all other regions of the world, has prompted federal, state and local governmental authorities in the United States to declare states of emergency and institute preventative measures to contain and/or mitigate the public health effects. These preventative measures, which include quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and similar mandates that substantially restrict daily activities for many individuals, as well as orders calling for the closure and/or curtailment of operations for many businesses, have caused and continue to cause significant disruption to businesses in affected areas, as well as the financial markets both globally and in the United States, more broadly. In California, the gradual re-opening and redeployment of quarantine measures has had an adverse impact on our operations and those of our commercial tenants.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken by applicable governmental authorities, beginning in mid-March 2020 and continuing with California's blueprint for reducing COVID-19, which was released in August 2020, our employees are required to wear masks when working in our offices, while also maintaining proper safe social distancing.Subject to the use of appropriate risk mitigation and safety practices, we are continuing our business operations while adhering to California's blueprint criteria for activities within the state, which include in-door dining and retail shopping restrictions. We believe these measures were advisable and in the best interests of our employees, suppliers, customers and communities. Further, in the event any of our employees, and/or employees of our service providers or trade partners, contract COVID-19 or are otherwise compelled to self-quarantine, we may experience shortages in labor and services that we require for our operations.
A majority of our segments were exempt from the application of “stay-at-home” orders, yet are able to continue operating under California's blueprint as discussed above. Decreases in traffic and minimal indoor options have led our gas stations and quick service restaurants to reduce hours and manage labor as cost saving measures, which impacted their revenues. Some of our commercial tenants have sought and received rent deferrals and may seek further relief to the extent pandemic-related restrictions continue to significantly impact their operations.
We may also be materially and adversely affected by the disruptions to U.S. and local economies that result from the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced consumer confidence, unemployment levels, wage growth and fluctuating interest rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial volatility in U.S. and international debt and equity markets and has caused significant decreases in the market prices of equity securities, including our common stock. The possibility of a prolonged recession or economic downturn could result in, among other things, a decrease in demand for consumer goods and a diminished value in our real estate investments, including potential impairments.
Ultimately, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operation will depend upon future developments, including the severity of COVID-19 and the duration of the outbreak; the duration of social distancing and shelter-in-place orders; further mitigation strategies taken by applicable government authorities; the availability of a vaccine, adequate testing and treatments and the prevalence of widespread immunity to COVID-19; the impacts on our supply chain; the health of our employees, service providers and trade partners; and the reactions of U.S. and global markets and their effects on consumer confidence and spending. Such adverse effects, however, may continue to include decreases in the following: oil prices, commodity prices, and traffic, which our commerce center is highly dependent on, and which impacted our results of operations during the third quarter of 2020. Volume of activity within TRCC did begin to improve in late summer and early fall, which has begun to help our tenants. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, any of which could have a material effect on us.
