SB PARTNERS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

(1)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SB Partners, a New York limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership" or the “Registrant”), have been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating, and holding for investment a varying portfolio of real estate interests. SB Partners Real Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner of the Partnership.

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

 

The results of operations for the three and nine monthsmonth period ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

For a discussion of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies of the Partnership, refer to the Annual Report on Form 1010–K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

(2)

COVID-19

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Partnership and Omaha may be operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies may be affected by liquidity, disparity of real estate values and financing issues. Should market conditions deteriorate, there is no assurance that such conditions will not result in decreased cash flows or ability to repay, refinance or extend Omaha's debt when it comes due, which could result in the sale of investments at amounts less than the reported value at March 31, 2020.

(3)

COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE REIMBURSEMENTS

In connection with the adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Partnership elected the practical expedient concerning the treatment of CAM costs. CAM is a non-lease component of the lease contract under ASC 842, and therefore would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and presented separate from rental income based on an allocation of the overall contract price, which is not necessarily the amount that would be billable to the tenant for CAM reimbursements per the term of the lease contract. As the timing and pattern of providing the CAM service to the tenant is the same as the timing and pattern of the tenant’s use of the underlying lease asset, the Partnership elected, under the practical expedient, to combine CAM and other Recoverable Costs with the remaining lease components, and recognize them together as rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

(2) INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATEThe following table provides a disaggregation of rental income recognized by the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

(3) ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUEThe Partnership’s wholly owned property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota is 100% leased to a single tenant to October 31, 2024. The tenant pays fixed base rent which increases approximately 3% each year. The tenant pays directly or reimburses the Partnership for all utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property operating expenses and property management fees.

(5)

ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

 

The accounting guidance for fair value measurementsFair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

 

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or quoted prices in less active dealer or broker markets;

 

 

Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable.

INVESTMENT IN SENTINEL OMAHA, LLC

 

On September 30, 2015, Omaha refinanced six properties which had been encumbered by a single secured credit facility with a high fixed interest rate. Previously, a refinancing of the secured credit facility would have required significant prepayment penalties which made a refinancing cost prohibitive. On September 30, 2015, the prepayment penalties were reduced enough that combined with stronger valuation rates, each property’s borrowing capacity was sufficient to support a new separate mortgage with enough combined proceeds to pay off the credit facility and the prepayment penalties. The six new mortgages have lower interest rates although the new interest rates are floating rates, which are subject to changes in the credit markets. Omaha is precluded from making distributions to its investors until its unsecured loan is paid in full. However, based on a review of the 2015 property operations and applying the terms of the new mortgages and barring any unforeseen downturn in the real estate and capital markets, the Partnership anticipated Omaha has a more likely than not chance to improve the operations of the real estate assets, sell the assets at values sufficient to pay off the mortgages and after paying off the unsecured bank loan, make distributions to its investors for a portion of the original capital invested. Therefore, the Partnership as of the year ended December 31, 2015 had recognized a value in the Omaha investment equal to the Partnership’s 30% portion of the equity reported on Omaha’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 less a 50% reserve. During 2016, the net operating income reported for Omaha’s properties continued to improve which led to an increase in its real estate valuation. Omaha continued to make payments on its unsecured loan. However, Omaha’s mortgages and unsecured loan are encumbered with floating interest rates which have increased during 2016 and 2017. As of the period ended December 31, 2016 the Partnership had recognized a value in the Omaha investment equal to the Partnership’s 30% portion of the equity reported on Omaha’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 less a 35% reserve. Omaha’s unsecured loan which as of September 30, 2017 has a balance of $26,859,322 has a maturity date of December 31, 2017 with one option to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. It is unlikely Omaha will be able to pay off the unsecured loan from net operating cash flow or refinancing proceeds. Omaha will have to sell one or more of its properties which will reduce its net cash flow from operations which could be available for distribution to its investors after the unsecured loan is paid off. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 Omaha sold one property located in Daytona, Florida and two properties located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Net sales proceeds in each transaction were used to first pay off each property’s secured mortgage and remaining net sales proceeds were used to pay down Omaha’s unsecured loan. As of the period ended September 30, 2017 the Partnership has recognized a value in the Omaha investment equal to the Partnership’s 30% portion of the equity reported on Omaha’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 less a 25% reserve.

(a)

On September 17, 2007, the Partnership entered into a bank loan (the “Loan”) with a bank (“Holder”) in the amount of $22,000,000, which matured on October 1, 2008. On April 29, 2011 the Partnership and Holder executed a new loan agreement (“Loan Agreement”) on the following terms:

1)

In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Partnership was required to make an immediate payment to Holder of $11,930,430, reducing the balance due under the unsecured credit facility to $10,069,570. The payment was made from proceeds resulting from the sale of 175 Ambassador Drive. Additional proceeds from the sale were used to pay Holder’s legal and appraisal costs and to fund a reserve account for future tenant improvement and leasing costs, as needed. The remaining outstanding obligation in the amount of $10,069,570 was divided into two notes (“Note A” and “Note B;” together, the “Notes”).

2)

Note A which had a balance of $3,768,751 as of September 18, 2015 was paid off in full using proceeds from the sale of Lino Lakes.

3)

Note B in the amount of $5,726,590 has a maturity date of April 29, 2018. The Partnership has three one-year options to extend the maturity date if certain conditions are satisfied. Note B previously accrued interest at an annual fixed rate of 5% but only until all interest and principal had been paid in full on Note A. Thereafter Note B does not accrue any interest. Except as discussed below, payments of principal are deferred until Registrant’s investment in Sentinel Omaha LLC (“Omaha”) pays distributions to the Partnership or the Partnership sells Eagle Lake Business Center IV or its investment in Omaha. Distributions from Omaha or net proceeds from the sale of Eagle IV or Omaha would be used first to pay the outstanding principal balance of Note B. If there are no distributions from Omaha prior to the Note B maturity, principal is due at maturity, subject to the above mentioned extensions.

4)

Note B may be voluntarily prepaid upon notice to the Holder, subject to certain requirements as to the application of payments. The Partnership’s obligations under the Notes may be accelerated upon default.

5)

On September 17, 2015, the Partnership sold Lino Lakes. An amount of $200,000 of net sales proceeds had been held in reserve pending the expiration of the representations and warranties period as stipulated in the sales contract. On March 15, 2016, the representation and warranties period expired. There were no charges made against this reserve, therefore in March 2016, the $200,000 was used to further pay down the principal balance of the Note B in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. Until the Partnership’s obligations under Note B is satisfied in full, the Partnership is required to pay a portion of its net operating income (after payment of certain permitted expenses), and the net proceeds from the sale, transfer or refinancing of its remaining properties and investments, toward Note B while retaining the other portion to increase cash reserves. On May 16, 2016, the partnership paid $26,415 to the Holder to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of Note B. On May 26, 2017, the partnership paid $33,883 to the Holder to pay down a portion of the outstanding balance of Note B. While the obligation under Note B is outstanding, the Partnership is precluded from making distributions to its partners.

6)

The Partnership, its general partner and the Holder also entered into a Management Subordination Agreement accruing a portion of the investment management fee payable by the Partnership to its general partner so long as Note B remains outstanding. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $2,805,369 and $2,460,857, respectively of investment management fees have been accrued and are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet.

7)

As additional security for the Partnership’s payment of its obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Eagle IV Realty, LLC, has executed a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Financing Statement (“Eagle IV Security Agreement”) and a Pledge Agreement (“Eagle IV Pledge Agreement”) in favor of Holder. The Eagle IV Security Agreement provides Holder with a security interest on the Partnership’s property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota (“Eagle IV”) of up to $5,000,000. The Eagle IV Pledge Agreement pledges to Holder the Partnership’s membership interest in Eagle IV Realty, LLC, the direct owner of Eagle IV. The Partnership has no other debt obligation secured by Eagle IV. The Loan Agreement also provides for a negative pledge on the Partnership’s remaining property and investment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
 FOR THE THREE AND NINEMONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBERMARCH 3031, 20172020 AND 20162019 

                              

General

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019 reflect the operationsoperation of one wholly owned industrial flex property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota and a 30% interest in Omaha.

 

Registrant’sRegistrant’s wholly owned property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota is 100% leased to a single tenant whose lease expiresto October 31, 2019. The tenant has an ongoing option to terminate the lease under certain conditions. One of the conditions is the payment of an early termination penalty the calculation of which is based on the remaining time period in the lease. Another condition is the tenant must provide notice twelve months prior to the termination. As of September 30, 2017, Registrant has not received any notice from the tenant.2024. The tenant pays fixed base rent which increases approximately 3% each year. The tenant pays directly or reimburses Registrant for all utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property operating expenses and property management fees.

 

Sentinel Omaha LLC’sOmaha’s portfolio as of March 31, 2020 consists of 10six garden apartment properties and one high rise apartment property.located in three markets. Leases generally are for one year or less. Tenants generally pay fixed rent plus utilities used by tenant.

 

COVID-19

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Registrant and Omaha may be operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies may be affected by liquidity, disparity of real estate values and financing issues. Should market conditions deteriorate, there is no assurance that such conditions will not result in decreased cash flows or ability to repay, refinance or extend Omaha's debt when it comes due, which could result in the sale of investments at amounts less than the reported value at March 31, 2020.

Results of Operations

 

Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 increased $6,000$15,000 to approximately $272,000$293,000 as compared to approximately $266,000$278,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019.

Net loss from operations consists of net income from the Maple Grove property offset by partnership income and expenses. The increase of loss from operations was due to higher total expenses partially offset by higher total revenues. Total expenses from operations for 2017 increased $14,000 to approximately $401,000 from approximately $387,000 in 2016, due primarily to increases in real estate operating expenses and management fee expense of $11,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Total revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $16,000 to approximately $807,000 as compared to approximately $791,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The Registrant has a 30% non-controlling interest in Omaha that is accounted for on a fair value basis. Under the terms of its unsecured bank loan Omaha is precluded from making distributions to its investors, including the Registrant, until its unsecured loan is paid in full. Net increase in net assets decreased $2,457,000increased $252,000 to approximately $31,325,000$1,615,000 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 compared to net increase in net assets of approximately $33,782,000$1,363,000 for the same period in 2016. Due to the global financial crisis, stagnant real estate market and slowing economy, Omaha reported a net write-down of the value of its real estate portfolio of approximately $100,852,000 during 2008 to 2014.2019. During 2015 and 2016 capitalization rates for older properties in tertiary markets where Omaha owns most of its properties, generally were lower than for the prior years. Physical and economic occupancy improved at the properties during 2015 and market rates increased during 2016. However, occupancy at two large properties which rely on tenants from a local military base declined due to deployments during 2016. Job growth continued to improve but at a slow pace. For the years 2015 and 2016, as real estate values recovered Omaha reported an increase in the value of its portfolio of $88,512,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, Omaha sold its garden apartment property located in Daytona, FloridaIndependence, Missouri and sold bothits garden apartment propertiesproperty located in Fayetteville, North Carolina.Columbus, Ohio. Net sales proceeds in each transaction were used to first pay offselling expenses and retire each property’s related secured mortgage and remainingloan. Remaining net sales proceeds were used to reduceretire Omaha’s unsecured loan.secured mortgage loan encumbering its garden apartment property located in Charleston, South Carolina to further pay down Omaha’s overall debt. During the first ninethree months of 2017,ended March 31, 2020, Omaha reported a net increasedecrease in the value of its remaining real estate portfolio of $29,965,000. During 2016,$900,000. The investment in a 30% non-controlling interest is valued at a discount due to the net operating incomelack of liquidity and ownership of a non-controlling (minority) interest. Registrant has reported for Omaha’s properties continued to improve which alloweda reserve on the value of Omaha to continue to make payments on its unsecured loan. However,books of 20% since March 31, 2018.

During 2019, Omaha’s mortgages and unsecured loan are encumbered with floating interest rates which started paid distributions totaling $28,000,000 to increase nearits members including $8,400,000 to Registrant. On April 16, 2019, the endgeneral partner declared a distribution of 2016 and during 2017. Omaha’s unsecured loan which as of September 30, 2017 has a balance of $26,859,322 has a maturity date of December$400 per full unit for all partners holding units or participations on May 31, 2017. Omaha has one option to extend the maturity date to2019. The distribution was paid on June 30, 2018. It is unlikely Omaha will be able to pay off the unsecured loan from net operating cash flow or refinancing proceeds. Omaha will have to sell one or more of the remaining properties which will reduce its net cash flow from operations which could be available for distribution to the investors after the unsecured loan is satisfied. Registrant had in 2015 recognized a value in the Omaha investment equal to Registrant’s 30% portion of the equity reported on Omaha’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 less a 50% reserve. The improvement in Omaha’s real estate values and operations allowed Registrant to reduce the reserve in 2016 to 35% as of December 31, 2016 with further improvement in 2017. Registrant as of September 30, 2017 has recognized a value in the Omaha investment equal to Registrant’s 30% portion of the equity reported on Omaha’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 less a 25% reserve.4, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,379,000.$890,000. These balances are approximately $52,000 higher$97,000 lower than cash and cash equivalents held on December 31, 2016.2019.

Currently, Registrant’s only consistent source of cash is rental income received from the tenant whothat leases 100% of the leasable space at Registrant’s wholly owned property in Maple Grove. The tenant reimburses Registrant for real estate taxes, insurance and most of the properties’ operating expenses leaving a significant portion of the base rent received available to fund capital improvements and partnership administrative expenses. A portion of any remaining annual

Registrant anticipates cash flow is used to pay downgenerated from the principal balance of Note Bproperty located in accordance with the Loan Agreement while the remainingMaple Grove and current cash income is retained by Registrant as cash reserves. As part of Registrant and the Holder restructuring the bank loan in 2011, Registrant set aside $500,000 in escrow to be held and used only to pay the costs to re-tenant the space at Registrant’s wholly owned property if Registrant’s tenant defaults on its lease or exercises its right to terminate the lease early or fails to renew.

Total outstanding debt at September 30, 2017 consists of Note B at $5,726,590. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, when Note A was repaid, interest on the Note B stopped accruing.
