NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Business and Organization
Gladstone Land Corporation (the “Company”) is an agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been previously re-incorporatedoriginally incorporated in DelawareCalifornia on May 25, 2004.June 14, 1997. Upon the pricing of our initial public offering on January 29, 2013, our shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq GlobalStock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “LAND.” We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, and we conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. As we currently control the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own, directly or indirectly, a majorityall of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated within our financial statements. As of September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company owned approximately 96.0%98.6% and 93.2%96.9%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units (see Note 7, “Equity,8, “Equity,” for additional discussion regarding OP Units).
Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of ours, was created to collect any non-qualifying income related to our real estate portfolio and to perform certain small-scale farming business operations. We have elected for Land Advisers to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) of ours. From October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018, Land Advisers operated a 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California, under a short-term lease (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption” for further discussion on this lease assignment). Since we currently own 100% of the voting securities of Land Advisers, its financial position and results of operations are consolidated within our financial statements. On June 11, 2018, we entered into a 10-year lease agreement with a new, unrelated third-party tenant to operate the farm previously operated by Land Advisers.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours (see Note 6, “Related-PartyRelated-Party Transactions,” for additional discussion regarding our Adviser and Administrator).
All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 201826, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets

We account for the impairment of our tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), which requires us to periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine whether indicators of impairment exist. If circumstances support the

possibility of impairment, we prepare a projection of the total undiscounted future cash flows of the specific property (without interest charges), including proceeds from disposition, and compare them to the net book value of the property to determine whether the carrying value of the property is recoverable. If the carrying amount is more than the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.
We evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any impairment indicators and perform an impairment analysis on those select properties that have an indication of impairment. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we concluded that none of our properties were impaired. There have been no impairments recognized on our real estate assets since our inception.
Crop Inventory and Crop Sales
Crop Inventory
From October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018, Land Advisers operated a 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California, under a short-term lease (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption” for further discussion on this lease assignment). Costs incurred by Land Advisers in operating the 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California, generally consisted of growing costs (including the costs of land preparation, plants, fertilizers and pesticides, and labor costs), harvesting and selling costs (including labor costs for harvesting, packaging and cooling costs, and sales commissions), and certain overhead costs (including management/oversight costs). Due to certain market conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (primarily the existence of bumper crops in all of the strawberry-growing regions within California), we were unable to sell all of the crops and therefore assessed the market value of such unsold crops to be zero. Accordingly, we wrote down the cost of crop inventory to its estimated net realizable value of zero and recorded a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of approximately $33,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, (including accumulated costs incurred by our Adviser that were allocated to these unsold crops of approximately $3,000 and $31,000, respectively (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption—TRS Fee Arrangements—TRS Expense Sharing Agreement”)), included within Loss on write-down of crop inventory on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations.
Crop inventory as of December 31, 2017, consisted of the following (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):
Growing costs $1,335

There was minimal harvesting and sales activity on the farm operated by Land Advisers prior to January 1, 2018. In addition, theThe lease to Land Advisers for such farm expired on July 31, 2018, andafter which we leased the farm was leased by us to a new, unrelated third-party tenant under a 10-year lease that commenced on August 1, 2018.

Income Taxes
We have operated and intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT under the Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on amounts that we distribute to our stockholders (except income from any foreclosure property), provided that, on an annual basis, we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders and meet certain other conditions. As such, in general, as long as we qualify as a REIT, no provision for federal income taxes will be necessary, except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income and taxes on the income generated by a TRS (such as Land Advisers), if any.
On From October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018, Land Advisers, which is subject to federal and state income taxes, took overassumed the operations on one of our farms in California.California (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—

TRS Lease Assumption”). There was no taxable income or loss from Land Advisers for the tax year ended December 31, 2017, and, as of2018, nor was there any for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we do not expect to have any material taxable income or loss for the tax year ending December 31, 2018.2019.
Should we have any taxable income or loss in the future, we will account for any income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (including for operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards) and are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. In addition, we will establish valuation allowances for tax benefits when we believe it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that such assets will not be realized.
Reclassifications
On the accompanying Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, certain property-specific costs have2019, operating rental revenue has been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to property operating expenses,be displayed in accordance with ASU 2016-02 (as defined below), which was adopted on January 1, 2019, and acquisition-related expenses have been reclassified to be included within general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported net income (loss), equity, or net change in cash and cash equivalents.
Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which was amended in each of March, April, May, and December of 2016. ASU 2014-09, as amended, supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance and establishes a new, control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will expand disclosures about revenue. We adopted ASU 2014-09 was adopted beginning with the three months ended March 31,on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, (underunder which the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance was recognized at the date of initial application).application. Our adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not (and is not expected to) have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition, as the primary impact of this update is related to common area maintenance and other material tenant reimbursements, whereas the majority of our revenue is from rental income pursuant to net-lease agreements, with very little being attributed to tenant recoveries. The impact of ASU 2014-09 willdid not take effect until the new leasing standard (ASU 2016-02, as defined below) becomesbecame effective on January 1, 2019.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): An Amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“ASU 2016-02”)., which supersedes the previous leasing standard, ASC 840, “Leases.” The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee, which classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis, respectively, over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of the classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similarsimilarly to existing guidance for operating leases.leases under the previous leasing standard. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidancethat under the previous standard for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. We adopted ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous leasing standard, ASC 840, “Leases,” and is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Onceusing the modified retrospective method, under which we adopt ASU 2016-02, we expect our legal expenses (included in General and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statementsrecorded the cumulative effect of Operations) to increase marginally, asapplying the new standard requiresguidance as of the adoption date. We also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance (which included that: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases), the land easement practical expedient to carry forward existing accounting treatment on existing land easements, and the lease and non-lease component combined practical expedient. In addition, we elected the short-term lease exception, which allows us to expense indirect leasing costs that were previously capitalized; however, we do not expect ASU 2016-02account for leases with a term of 12 months or less similar to materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, as weexisting operating leases. We currently only have two operating ground lease arrangements with terms greater than one year for which we are the lessee.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts See Note 7, “Commitments and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”)Contingencies—Ground Lease Obligations, which provides guidance on certain cash flow classification issues, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and

classified on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-15 beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2018, and did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”), which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets in contracts with non-customers (unless other specific guidance applies). ASU 2017-05 requires derecognition once control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or in-substance nonfinancial asset is transferred. Additionally, when a company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset but retains a non-controlling ownership interest, any non-controlling interest received is required to be measured at fair value, and the company is required to recognize a full gain or lossfurther discussion on the transaction. As a result of ASU 2017-05, the guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20 will be eliminated, and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. We adopted ASU 2017-05 beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective approach, and its adoption did not (and is not expected to) have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under Securities Act Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification” (“SAR 33-10532”), which amended certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded and expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in either a note or a separate statement, and the analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SAR 33-10532, which was effective on November 5, 2018, but do not anticipate itsour adoption to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.of ASU 2016-02 and the assumptions used in determine the related right-of-use asset and lease liability.

Acquisitions
Upon our adoption of ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” during the three months ended December 31,on October 1, 2016, most acquisitions, including those with a prior leasing history, are generally treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360. For acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, all acquisition-related costs, other than those costs that directly related to either originating new leases we execute upon acquisition or reviewing in-place leases we assumed upon acquisition, are capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired other than thoseor liabilities assumed. Upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, costs that directly related to either negotiating and originating new leases we execute upon acquisition, whichor reviewing assumed leases (generally, external legal costs) are expensed as incurred, whereas these costs were generally capitalized as part of leasing costs.costs under the previous leasing standard. In addition, total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities, such as OP Units. When OP Units are issued in connection with acquisitions, we determine the fair value of the OP Units issued based on the number of units issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition. Unless otherwise noted, all properties acquired during 20172019 and 2018 were accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360.
2019 Acquisitions

Leases provide for a participation rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the respective farms. The rent figures above represent only the minimum cash guaranteed under the respective leases.
(4)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 6-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 4-month lease executed on the date of acquisition. The follow-on lease includes one, 4-year extension option and provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $606,000. In connection with the follow-on lease, we committed to provide up to $100,000 for certain irrigation improvements on the property.
(5)
As partial consideration for the acquisition of this property, we issued 288,303 OP Units, constituting an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.3 million as of the acquisition date.
(6)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we also acquired an ownership in a related LLC, the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to this and other neighboring properties. Our acquired ownership equated to an 11.75% interest in the LLC and was valued at approximately $280,000 at the time of acquisition and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As our investment in the LLC is deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for this investment under the equity method. From the commencement of our ownership in the LLC through September 30, 2019, there was no material income or loss recognized by the LLC; thus, no net income or loss was recorded by us during the three months ended September 30, 2019.
(7)
In connection with this acquisition, we executed two separate lease agreements with two different, unrelated third-party tenants. The lease term of 3.3 years represents the weighted-average term of the two leases. In addition, pursuant to one of these lease agreements, we committed to provide up to $1.0 million for certain irrigation improvements on the property.
(8)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we committed to provide up to approximately $4.0 million as additional compensation, contingent upon the County of Napa approving the planting of additional vineyards on up to 47 acres of the property by February 25, 2020. We are currently unable to estimate when this approval will be obtained, if at all. If approval is obtained, we have also committed to contribute up to $40,000 per approved acre for the development of such vineyards. As provided for in the lease, we will earn additional rent on all of the aforementioned costs, if any, incurred by us.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized operating revenues of approximately $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and net income of approximately $574,000 and $793,000, respectively, related to the above acquisitions.

“NNN” refers to leases under triple-net lease arrangements, and “NN” refers to leases under partial-net lease arrangements. For a description of each of these types of lease arrangements, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview—Leases—General.”
See Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Leasing Activity” for additional leasing activity that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2019.
Project Completion
During the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2018, we terminated the leases on two of our farms in Cochise County, Arizona, early and entered into two new lease agreements with a new tenant. Each of the new leases is for a term of one year and provides for aggregate minimum rents of approximately $480,000, which represents a decrease of approximately $203,000 (approximately 29.7%) from that of the prior leases (before each of their terminations). However, each of the new leases also contains a variable rent component based on the total gross revenues earned by the tenants on the respective farms, whereas the prior leases were both fixed-rent leases. In addition, both of the new leases are pure, triple-net lease agreements, whereas one of the prior leases was a partial-net lease (with us responsible for the property taxes on the farm). In connection with one of the early lease terminations, on the termination date, the lease had a deferred rent liability balance of approximately $84,000. In accordance with ASC 360-10, we recognized this balance as additional rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (on the lease termination date). In connection with the other early lease termination, a full allowance of the respective lease’s deferred rent asset balance (which was approximately $50,000) was recorded to bad debt expense during the three months ended December 31, 2017. No downtime was incurred as a result of the early terminations and re-leasing of these farms, nor were any leasing commissions or tenant improvements incurred in connection with the new leases.
On June 11, 2018, we entered into a new 10-year lease agreement with a new, unrelated third-party tenant on the 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California, previously farmed by Land Advisers. The new lease commenced on August 1, 2018, and provides for annualized straight-line rent of approximately $667,000, which represents a decrease of approximately $91,000, or 12.0%, from that of the previous lease that was assigned to Land Advisers (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption” for further discussion on this lease assignment). However, the new lease is a pure, triple-net lease, whereas the previous lease was a partial-net lease (with us, as landlord, responsible for the property taxes on the farm, which are currently approximately $112,000 per year).
On August 28, 2018, we reached an agreement with the current tenant on our 72-acre farm in Santa Cruz, California, to terminate the lease (which was originally scheduled to expire on October 31, 2020) on October 31, 2018, and simultaneously entered into a new, 10-year lease with a new, unrelated third-party tenant. The new lease commenced on November 1, 2018, and provides for annualized minimum straight-line rent of approximately $200,000, which represents an increase of approximately $41,000 (approximately 26.0%) over that of the prior lease (before its early termination).
On August 30, 2018, we amended the lease on our 164-acre farm in Ventura County, California, to exclude certain hillside acreage from the lease and extend the term by one additional year (through July 31, 2021). The amendment resulted in a decrease in annualized minimum straight-line rent of approximately $62,000 (approximately 16.2%) from that of the original lease.
Property Dispositions
Land Exchange
On June 7, 2018, we completed a transaction with the current tenantreplaced 23 irrigation pivots on one of our Florida farms where we exchanged land for total consideration consisting of both land and cash. As a result of the transaction, we sold 26 net acres for total cash proceeds of approximately $132,000 and, after closing costs, recognized a nominal loss on the transaction.
Property Sale

On July 10, 2018, we completed the sale of our 1,895-acre farm in Morrow County, Oregon (“Oregon Trail”), to the existing tenant for $20.5 million. Including closing costs and the write-off of a deferred rent asset balance of approximately $154,000, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $6.4 million. Proceeds from this sale were used to acquire Owl Hammock (as described in Note 3, “Real Estate and Intangible Assets,”) as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.
Project Completion
In connection with a lease amendment executed on one of our Florida properties in June 2017, we committed to providing additional capital to expand and upgrade the existing cooler on the property. These improvements were completed during the three months ended March 31, 2018,Colorado at a total cost of approximately $748,000. As$1.4 million. Pursuant to a result of these improvements (and pursuant tolease amendment executed during the lease amendment),nine months ended September 30, 2019, in connection with this project, we expect to receive approximately $302,000 ofwill earn additional straight-line rental income of approximately $117,000 per year throughout the remaining term of the lease, which expires on June 30, 2022.February 28, 2021.
Property and Casualty LossFuture Minimum Lease Payments
In January 2018, a lightning strike damaged the power plant that supplies power to oneWe account for all of our Arizona properties, causing damageleasing arrangements in which we are the lessor as operating leases. The majority of our leases are subject to certain irrigation improvementsfixed rental increases, and a small subset of our lease portfolio includes lease payments based on an index, such as the consumer price index (“CPI”). In addition, several of our property. We estimatedleases contain participation rent components based on the carrying valuegross revenues earned on the respective farms. Most of our leases also include tenant renewal options; however, these renewal options are generally based on then-current market rates and are therefore typically excluded from the determination of the improvements damaged byminimum lease term. Our leases do not generally include tenant termination options.
The following table summarizes the lightning strikefuture lease payments to be approximately $129,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we wrote down the carrying values of the damaged improvements by approximately $129,000, and, in accordance with ASC 610-30, “Revenue Recognition—Other Income—Gains and Losses on Involuntary Conversions,” recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Repairs were completed on the damaged irrigation improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred approximately $81,000 to repair the damaged improvements, of which approximately $34,000 was capitalized as real estate additions and $47,000 was recorded as repairs and maintenance expense, which is included within Property operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We are still in the process of assessing the amount expected to be recovered, as well as the collectability of such amounts; thus, no offset to the loss has been recordedreceived under non-cancelable leases as of September 30, 2018.2019, and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across foursix of these growing regions.
Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2018,2019, our farms were leased to 5670 different, unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. One unrelated third-party tenant (“Tenant A”) leases five of our farms, and aggregate rentallease revenue attributable to

Tenant A accounted for approximately $3.3 million, or 15.6%12.2%, of the rentaltotal lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. If Tenant A fails to make rental payments, elects to terminate its leases prior to their expirations, or does not renew its leases (and we cannot re-lease the farms on satisfactory terms), there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. No other individual tenant represented greater than 10.0% of ourthe total rentallease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.
Geographic Risk
Farms located in California and Florida accounted for approximately $9.9$13.9 million (46.3%(51.0%) and $5.8$7.8 million (27.1%(28.6%), respectively, of the rentaltotal lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. Though we seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible, should an unexpected natural disaster occur where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. None of our farms in Florida were materially impacted by Hurricane Michael during October 2018. No other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of our total rentallease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.

Where applicable, stated interest rates are before interest patronage (as described below).
As of September 30, 2019, the above borrowings were collateralized by certain of our farms with an aggregate net book value of approximately $743.4 million. The weighted-average interest rate charged on the above borrowings (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded interest) was 3.76%4.03% and 3.63%3.97% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and 3.44%3.76% and 3.33%3.63% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, respectively. In addition, 20172018 interest patronage from our Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below), which we received and recorded during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, resulted in an 18.0%a 21.2% reduction (approximately 7195 basis points) to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. We are unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 20182019 on our Farm Credit Notes Payable.
As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to the above borrowings.
MetLife Borrowings
MetLife Facility
On May 9, 2014, we closed on a credit facility (the “MetLife Facility”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”). As a result of subsequent amendments, the MetLife Facility currently consists of an aggregate of $200.0 million of term notes (the “MetLife Term Notes”) and $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the “MetLife Lines of Credit”).
On August 16, 2019, we drew $16.5 million on the MetLife Term Notes. The interest rate on the new disbursement was 3.70% per annum (which rate is fixed through January 4, 2027) and was blended with the existing interest rate on the previously-outstanding balance under the MetLife Term Notes.

Fair Value
ASC 820 provides a definition of fair value that focuses on the exchange (exit) price of an asset or liability in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs to the valuation. ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets or model-based valuation techniques, for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs are generally supported by little or no market activity and are based upon management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2018,2019, the aggregate fair value of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage notes and bonds payable was approximately $302.7$454.5 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $318.4$450.8 million. The fair value of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. Further, due to the revolving nature of the MetLife Lines of Credit and the lack of changes in market credit spreads, their aggregate fair value as of September 30, 2018,2019, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of $0.1$4.1 million.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
In order to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement in connection with one of our mortgage financings secured during the three months ended September 30, 2019. In accordance with this swap agreement, we will pay our counterparty a fixed rate interest rate on a quarterly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equivalent to the stipulated floating rate. We have adopted the fair value measurement provision for this financial instrument, and the fair values of our interest rate swap agreement is recorded in Other assets, net or Other liabilities, net, as appropriate, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, in the absence of observable market data, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate swap using estimates of certain data points, including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield, and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of September 30, 2019, our interest rate swap was valued using Level 2 inputs.
In addition, we have designated our interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, and we record changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record changes in fair value on a quarterly basis, using current market valuations at quarter end. The following table summarizes our interest rate swap as of September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 5. SERIES A TERM PREFERRED STOCK
In August 2016, we completed a public offering of 6.375% Series A Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Term Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. As a result of this offering (including the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments), we issued a total of 1,150,000 shares of the Series A Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $28.8 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $27.6 million. The Series A Term Preferred Stock is traded under the ticker symbol “LANDP” on Nasdaq.
Generally, we were not permitted to redeem shares of the Series A Term Preferred Stock prior to September 30, 2018, except in limited circumstances to preserve our qualification as a REIT. Beginning onSince September 30, 2018, we werehave been permitted to redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The shares of the Series A Term Preferred Stock have a mandatory redemption date of September 30, 2021, and

are not convertible into our common stock or any other securities. As of September 30, 2018,2019, no shares of Series A Term Preferred Stock have been redeemed.
We incurred approximately $1.2 million in total offering costs related to this issuance, which have been recorded net of the Series A Term Preferred Stock as presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetSheets and are being amortized over the mandatory redemption period as a component of interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Series A Term Preferred Stock is recorded as a liability on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily-redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities. In addition, the related dividend payments are treated similarsimilarly to interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Operations and Comprehensive Income.
As of September 30, 2018,2019, the fair value of our Series A Term Preferred Stock was approximately $29.6 million, as compared to the carrying value (exclusive of unamortized offering costs) of approximately $28.8 million. The fair value of our Series A Term Preferred Stock is valued using Level 1 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and is calculated based on the closing per-share price as of September 30, 2018,2019, of $25.75.$25.73.

NOTE 6. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman, chief executive officer, and president. In addition, two of our executive officers, Mr. Gladstone and Terry Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating officer), serve as directors and executive officers of each of our Adviser and Administrator, and Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The investment advisory agreement with our Adviser that was in effect through March 31, 2017June 30,

2019 (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”), andwas amended on July 9, 2019 (as amended, the current administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) each became effective February 1, 2013. On April 11, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) with our Adviser that became effective beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our entrance into the Amended Advisory Agreement, and was approved unanimously by our board of directors, including specifically, our independent directors.
A summary of the Prior Advisory Agreement is provided in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K. A summary of the compensation terms for each of the Prior Advisory Agreement, the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement is below.
Prior Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Prior Advisory Agreement that was in effect through March 31, 2017, our Adviser was compensated in the form of a base management fee and, as applicable, an incentive fee. Each of these fees is described below.
Base Management Fee
We paid an annual base management fee equal to 2.0% of our adjusted stockholders’ equity, which was defined as our total stockholders’ equity at the end of each quarter less the recorded value of any preferred stock we may have issued.
Incentive Fee
We also paid an additional quarterly incentive fee based on funds from operations (as defined in the Prior Advisory Agreement). For purposes of calculating the incentive fee, our funds from operations, before giving effect to any incentive fee (our “Pre-Incentive Fee FFO”), included any realized capital gains or losses, less any distributions paid on our preferred stock, but did not include any unrealized capital gains or losses. The incentive fee rewarded our Adviser if our Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular calendar quarter exceeded a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of our total stockholders’ equity (as shown on the balance sheet) at the end of the quarter. Our Adviser received 100% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for the quarter that exceeded the hurdle rate but was less than 2.1875% of our total stockholders’ equity at the end of the quarter (8.75% annualized) and 20% of the amount of our Pre-Incentive Fee FFO that exceeded 2.1875% for the quarter.
Amended Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement, effective beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017, our Adviser has beenis compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. Each of these fees is described below.
Base Management Fee
A base management fee is paid quarterly and will beis calculated as 2.0% per annum (0.50% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s total adjusted common equity, which, beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2019, is defined as totalcommon stockholders’ equity plus total mezzanine equity,non-controlling common interests in the Operating Partnership, if any each(each as reported on our balance sheet,sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items (“Total Adjusted Common Equity”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our Adviser granted us certain non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waivers, which were applied as credits against the base management fees for the respective periods, as detailed in the table below under “—Related-Party Fees.”
Incentive Fee
An incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity. For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends paid on preferred stock securities that are not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. Our Adviser will receive: (i) no Incentive Feeincentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).
Capital Gains Fee
A capital gains-based incentive fee will be calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Amended Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid. Our sale of Oregon Trail during the three months ended September 30, 2018 (see Note 3, “Real Estate and Intangible Assets—Significant Existing Real Estate Activity—Property Dispositions—Property Sale”), resulted in our Adviser earning a capital gains fee of approximately $778,000, which was the first capital gains fee recorded by us since our inception. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, our Adviser granted us a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiver equal to the full amount of the capital gains fee earned to be applied as a credit against the full fee.
Termination Fee
In the event of our termination of the Amended Advisory Agreement for any reason, (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses incurred while performing servicesits obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.

2017, Land Advisers issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the Company that matured in July 31, 2018, and effectivebore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum. All inter-company amounts related to the Assigned TRS Lease and the promissory note were eliminated in consolidation, and, as a result, no rental or interest income from Land Advisers was recorded by us on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018.

NOTE 7. EQUITY
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
On January 10, 2018, we filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation Articles Supplementary to reclassify and designate 6,500,000 shares of our authorized and unissued shares of capital stock as shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below). The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 98,000,000 shares immediately prior to the reclassification to 91,500,000 shares immediately after the reclassification.
Stockholders’ Equity
As of September 30, 2018, there were 6,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 393,048 shares issued and outstanding worth an aggregate liquidation value of approximately $9.8 million; and 91,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 16,070,616 shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, there were 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 13,791,574 shares issued and outstanding.
Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership
We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership.  As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we owned approximately 96.0% and 93.2%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.
On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.  The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption.  A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 46,544 and 337,226 OP Units, respectively, were tendered for redemption. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 46,544 shares of common stock in exchange for 46,544 OP Units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 297,811 shares of common stock in exchange for 297,811 OP Units, and we satisfied the redemption of the remaining 39,415 OP Units with a cash payment of approximately $521,000 (approximately $13.21 per OP Unit).
Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units in exchange for shares of its common stock.  When a non-Company unitholder redeems an OP Unit, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.

The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.
As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, there were 670,879 and 1,008,105 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, all of the outstanding 670,879 OP Units were eligible to be tendered for redemption.
Registration Statement
On March 30, 2017, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) with the SEC (the “2017 Registration Statement”) to replace our previous registration statement, which expired on April 1, 2017. The 2017 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2017, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. Through September 30, 2018, we have issued a total of 3,675,306 shares of common stock (excluding 544,686 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain OP Units that were tendered for redemption) for gross proceeds of approximately $45.8 million, and 393,048 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) for gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million under the 2017 Registration Statement.
2018 Equity Issuances
Series B Preferred Stock
On January 10, 2018, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering of 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which terminated on May 31, 2018, with no shares being sold. On May 31, 2018, we filed a new prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering of up to 6,000,000 shares (the “Primary Offering”) of our newly-designated 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at an offering price of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of up to $150.0 million and net proceeds, after deducting dealer-manager fees, selling commissions, and estimated expenses of the offering payable by us, of up to approximately $131.3 million, assuming all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold in the Primary Offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is being offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities, the dealer-manager for the Primary Offering. See “Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement” in Note 6, “Related Party Transactions,” for a discussion of the fees and commissions to be paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed the sale of 393,048 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million and net proceeds (after deducting selling commissions and dealer-manager fees borne by us) of approximately $8.8 million. As of September 30, 2018, excluding selling commissions and dealer-manager fees, we have incurred approximately $576,000 of total costs related to this offering, which are initially recorded as deferred offering costs (included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) and are applied against the gross proceeds received from the offering through additional paid-in capital as shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold. See Note 10, “Subsequent Events,” for sales of Series B Preferred Stock completed subsequent to September 30, 2018.
The offering of the Series B Preferred Stock will terminate on the date (the “Termination Date”) that is the earlier of either June 1, 2023 (unless terminated earlier or extended by our Board of Directors), or the date on which all 6,000,000 shares offered in the Primary Offering are sold. There is currently no public market for shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; however, we intend to apply to list the Series B Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange within one calendar year after the offering’s Termination Date, though there can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such timeframe, or at all.
Common Stock
Secondary Offering
On March 27, 2018, we completed a public offering of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $12.15 per share (the “March 2018 Offering”). The March 2018 Offering settled on March 29, 2018, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $13.4 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $12.7 million. On April 4, 2018, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in connection with the March 2018 Offering, and, as a result, we issued an additional 165,000 shares. The over-allotment settled

on April 9, 2018, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $2.0 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $1.9 million.
At-the-Market Program
On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as “at-the-market agreements,” or our “Sales Agreements”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued and sold 716,231 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $12.90 per share under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $9.2 million and net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million. Through September 30, 2018, we have issued and sold a total of 1,324,867 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $12.83 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $17.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $16.7 million.

Ground Lease Obligations
In connection with two farms acquired on June 1, 2017, through a leasehold interest, we assumed two ground leaseslease arrangements under which we are the lessee (with the State of Arizona as the lessor). DuringThese two operating ground leases expire in February 2022 and February 2025, and neither lease contains any extension, renewal, or termination options. Upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset of approximately $218,000 and an operating lease liability of approximately $213,000 as a result of these ground leases. These values were determined by discounting the three and nine months endedrespective future minimum lease payments using a discount rate equivalent to treasury rates with similar terms plus a spread ranging from 2.47% to 2.53%.

The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 98,000,000 to 91,500,000.
Stockholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2019, there were 6,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 3,465,527 shares issued and outstanding worth an aggregate liquidation value of approximately $86.6 million; and 91,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 20,888,075 shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, there were 6,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 1,144,393 shares issued and outstanding worth an aggregate liquidation value of approximately $28.6 million; and 91,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 17,891,340 shares issued and outstanding.
Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership
We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership.  As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we owned approximately 98.6% and 96.9%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.
On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption. A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.
The following table provides information related to OP Units tendered for redemption during 2019:

Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-controlling unitholder redeems OP Units and the Company elects to satisfy that redemption through the issuance of common stock, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.
The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.
As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were 288,303 and 570,879 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding, respectively.
Registration Statement
On March 30, 2017, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) with the SEC (the “2017 Registration Statement”) to replace our previous registration statement, which expired on April 1, 2017. The 2017 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2017, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. Through September 30, 2019, we have issued a total of 7,821,886 shares of common stock (excluding 1,215,565 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain OP Units that were tendered for redemption) for gross proceeds of approximately $96.1 million, and 3,475,047 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) for gross proceeds of approximately $85.6 million under the 2017 Registration Statement.
2019 Equity Issuances
Series B Preferred Stock
On May 31, 2018, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering of up to 6,000,000 shares of our newly-designated 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at an offering price of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of up to $150.0 million and expected net proceeds, after deducting Selling Commissions, Dealer-Manager Fees, and estimated expenses of the offering payable by us, of up to approximately $131.3 million, assuming all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold in the offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is being

offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities, the dealer-manager for the offering. See Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement,” for a discussion of the fees and commissions to be paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock.
The following table provides information on sales of the Series B Preferred Stock that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, 2,120 and 9,520 shares, respectively, of the Series B Preferred Stock were tendered for redemption at a cash redemption price of $22.50 per share. As a result, we paid total redemption costs of approximately $48,000 and $214,000, respectively to redeem and retire these shares.
As of September 30, 2019, excluding Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees, we have incurred approximately $1.2 million of total costs related to this offering, which are initially recorded as deferred offering costs (included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and are applied against the gross proceeds received from the offering through additional paid-in capital as shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold. See Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Equity Activity—Series B Preferred Stock,” for sales of Series B Preferred Stock completed subsequent to September 30, 2019.
The offering of the Series B Preferred Stock will terminate on the date that is the earlier of either June 1, 2023 (unless terminated earlier or extended by our Board of Directors), or the date on which all 6,000,000 shares offered are sold (the “Termination Date”). There is currently no public market for shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; however, we intend to apply to list the Series B Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange within one calendar year after the offering’s Termination Date, though there can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such timeframe, or at all.
Common Stock
Secondary Offering
In June 2019, we completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.73 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $23.5 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $22.3 million. In July 2019, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option in connection with the offering, and, as a result, we issued an additional 277,297 shares of our common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $3.1 million.
At-the-Market Program
On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as “at-the-market agreements”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”).

Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and includes the amortization of above-market lease values and lease incentives and the accretion of below-market lease values and other deferred revenue.
(2)
Variable lease payments include participation rents, which are generally based on a percentage of the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants. Participation rents are generally recognized when all contingencies have been resolved and when actual results become known or estimable, enabling us to estimate and/or measure our share of such gross revenues. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded participation rents of approximately $848,000 and $875,000, respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $33,000 and $93,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded participation rents of approximately $889,000 and $906,000, respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $2,000 and $11,000, respectively.

Net income (loss) earnings figures are presented net of non-controlling interests in the earnings per share calculations. The non-controlling limited partners’ outstanding OP Units (which may be redeemed for shares of common stock) have been excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per shareper-share calculation, as there would be no effect on the amounts since the non-controlling limited partners’ share of income (loss)earnings would also be added back to net income (loss).

NOTE 10.11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition Activity
On November 1, 2018, we acquired a 951-acre farm in Madera County, California (“Sunnyside Avenue”), growing figs and pistachios for $23.0 million. At closing, we entered into an 8-year, triple-net lease agreement with the current tenant on the farm that also includes two, 5-year extension options. The lease, which consists of a fixed cash rent component plus a variable rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, provides for minimum annualized, straight-line rents of approximately $1.2 million. We will account for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 360.
Leasing Activity
On October 15, 2018, the tenant on our 119-acre farm in Van Buren County, Michigan, informed us of its intent to vacate the premises, effective October 31, 2018. While the tenant was current in its rental payments through the date of his vacating the premises, the lease was originally scheduled to expire on April 20, 2020. We are currently in discussions with other potential tenants to operate the farm, and we are also exploring other options to recover the lost rental income that may be available to us. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded rental income related to this property of approximately $28,000 and 85,000, respectively (including approximately $7,000 and $20,000 respectively, of accretion attributable to tenant-funded improvements on the property recorded in prior years).
In October 2018, we reached an agreement with the current tenant on our 61-acre farm in Hillsborough County, Florida, to terminate the lease (which was originally scheduled to expire on June 30, 2020) as of June 30, 2018, and entered into a new, one-year lease with a new tenant. The new lease, which commenced on July 1, 2018, and expires on June 30, 2019, provides for minimum straight line rent of 15,000, which represents a decrease of approximately $56,000 (approximately 78.8%) from that of the prior lease (before its termination).
Our lease on three farms in Van Buren County, Michigan, totaling 151 acres expired on November 4, 2018. We have reached an agreement with the current tenant to extend the term of the lease for an additional three years (through November 4, 2021) and amend the rental terms, which will result in a reduction in the minimum, straight-line rents in exchange for adding in a variable rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the farm over a certain threshold.
Financing Activity
In connection with the acquisition of Sunnyside Avenue, on November 1, 2018, we entered into a new loan agreement with Farm Credit West for $13.8 million. The loan is scheduled to mature on November 1, 2043, and will bear interest (before interest patronage) at a fixed rate of 5.61% per annum through October 31, 2028, thereafter converting to a variable rate unless another fixed rate is established. Gladstone Securities earned a financing fee of approximately $17,000 in connection with securing this financing.

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new, unrelated third-party tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 3-month lease executed on the date of acquisition. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $630,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.
(4)
In connection with this acquisition, we executed a 4-month leaseback agreement with the seller that provides for a fixed rental payment of $250,000. In addition, we also executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 4-month leaseback agreement. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $372,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.

OVERVIEW
General
We are an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the business of owning and leasing farmland. We are not a grower of crops, nor do we typically farm the properties we own. We currently own 83103 farms comprised of 68,77786,534 acres located across 910 states in the U.S. (Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington). We also own several farm-related facilities, such as cooling facilities, packinghouses, processing facilities, and various storage facilities.
We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held, directly or indirectly, by, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Gladstone Land Corporation controls the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and currently owns, directly or indirectly, approximately 96.0%98.6% of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). In addition, we have elected for Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Gladstone Management Corporation (our “Adviser”) manages our real estate portfolio pursuant to an advisory agreement, and Gladstone Administration, LLC (our “Administrator”), provides administrative services to us pursuant to an administration agreement.  Our Adviser and our Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and pay directly their salaries, benefits, and general expenses.
Portfolio Diversity
Since our initial public offering in January 2013 (the “IPO”), we have expanded our portfolio from 12 farms leased to 7 different, unrelated tenants to a current portfolio of 83103 farms leased to 5674 different, unrelated third-party tenants. While our focus remains in farmland suitable for growing fresh produce annual row crops, we have also diversified our portfolio into farmland suitable for other crop types, including permanent crops (e.g., almonds, blueberries, pistachios, and wine grapes) and, to a lesser extent, certain commodity crops (e.g., beans and corn). The following table summarizes the different sourcesgeographic locations (by state) of revenues for our propertiesfarms owned and with leases in place as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 (dollars in thousands):

According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across foursix of these growing regions.
Leases
General
Most of our leases are on a triple-net basis, (anan arrangement under which, in addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the related taxes, insurance costs, (including drought insurance if we were to acquire properties that depend upon rainwater for irrigation), maintenance, and other operating costs) andcosts. Our leases generally have original terms ranging from 3 to 10 years for farms growing row crops and 5 to 15 years for farms growing permanent crops (in each case, often with options to extend the lease further). Rent is generally payable to us in advance on either an annual or semi-annual basis, andwith such rent amount is typically subject to certain periodic escalation clauses provided for within the lease. Currently, excluding 278 of our farms that are vacant, our

farms are leased under agricultural leases with original terms ranging from 1 to 20 years, with 56 farms leased on a pure, triple-net basis, 2321 farms are leased on a partial-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for all or a portion of the related property taxes), and 24 farms leased on a gross basis (with the landlord responsible for the related property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property). Additionally, 1930 of our farms are leased under agreements that include a variableparticipation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms.
Lease Expirations
FarmAgricultural leases are often short-term in nature, so in any given year, we may have multiple leases up for extension or renewal.

In addition, we have two propertiesWe currently anticipate the lease renewals on those particular farms subject to agricultural leases scheduled to expire within the next six months to be at rental rates that are currently vacant: (i) a 161-acre farm in California, on which we anticipate executing a new, long-term lease duringmore or less equal to that of the three months ending December 31, 2018; and (ii) a 119-acre farm in Michigan, on which the tenant notified us subsequent to September 30, 2018, of his intent to vacate the premises, effective October 31, 2018. We are currently in discussions with other potential tenants to operate the farm in Michigan, and we are also exploring options to recover the lost rental income that may be available to us.respective current leases. Regarding all upcoming lease expirations, and current vacancies, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the existing leases or execute new leases at rental rates favorable to us, if at all, or be able to find replacement tenants, if necessary.

Annualized straight-line rent is based on the minimum cash rental payments guaranteed under the lease, as required under GAAP, and excludes contingent rental payments, such as participation rents.
Existing Properties
PropertySale
On July 10, 2018, we completed the sale of our 1,895-acre farm in Morrow County, Oregon (“Oregon Trail”), to the existing tenant for $20.5 million. Including closing costs and the write-off of a deferred rent asset balance of approximately $154,000, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $6.4 million, which is recorded in Gain (loss) on dispositions of real estate assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Proceeds from this sale were used to acquire Owl Hammock (as described above) as part of a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.
Leasing Activity
Since July 1, 2018, we have had the following leasing activity on our existing properties:

On August 28, 2018, we reached an agreementIn connection with the current tenant on our 72-acre farm in Santa Cruz, California, to terminate the lease (which was originally scheduled to expire on October 31, 2020) on October 31, 2018, and simultaneously entered intoacquisition of this property, we executed a new, 10-year6-year, follow-on lease with a new unrelated third-party tenant.tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 4-month lease executed on the date of acquisition. The newfollow-on lease commenced on November 1, 2018,includes one, 4-year extension option and provides for minimum annualized minimum straight-line rentrents of approximately $200,000, which represents an increase of approximately $41,000 (approximately 26.0%) over that of the prior lease.$606,000.
(4)
On August 30, 2018,As partial consideration for the acquisition of this property, we amended the lease on our 164-acre farm in Ventura County, California, to exclude certain hillside acreage from the lease. The amendment resulted in a decrease in annualized minimum straight-line rentissued 288,303 OP Units, constituting an aggregate fair value of approximately $62,000 (approximately 16.2%) from that$3.3 million as of the original lease.acquisition date.
(5)
In October 2018, we reached an agreement with the current tenant on our 61-acre farm in Hillsborough County, Florida, to terminate the lease (which was originally scheduled to expire on June 30, 2020) as of June 30, 2018, and entered into a new, one-year lease with a new tenant. The new lease, which commenced on July 1, 2018, and expires on June 30, 2019,Lease provides for minimum straight line rent of 15,000 which represents a decrease of approximately $56,000 (approximately 78.8%) from that of the prior lease (before its termination).
Our lease on three farms in Van Buren County, Michigan, totaling 151 acres expired on November 4, 2018, and we have reached an agreement with the current tenant to extend the term of the lease for an additional three years (through November 4, 2021) and amend the rental terms. The new lease is expected to provide for annualized minimum, straight-line rents of approximately $56,000, which represents a decrease of approximately $76,000 (approximately 57.4%) from that of the prior lease; however, the new lease is also expected to provide for a variableparticipation rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the farm overfarm. The rent figure above represents only the minimum cash guaranteed under the lease.
(6)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we also acquired an ownership in a certain threshold.related LLC, the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to this and other neighboring properties. Our acquired ownership equated to an 11.75% interest in the LLC and was valued at approximately $280,000 at the time of acquisition and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As our investment in the LLC is deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for this investment under the equity method. From the commencement of our ownership in the LLC through September 30, 2019, there was no material income or loss recognized by the LLC; thus, no net income or loss was recorded by us during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

In connection with this acquisition, we executed two separate lease agreements with two different, unrelated third-party tenants. The lease term of 3.3 years represents the weighted-average lease term of the two leases. In addition, pursuant to one of these lease agreements, we anticipate committingcommitted to provide up to $100,000 of total capital$1.0 million for certain improvements to the blueberry bushes and irrigation systemsimprovements on the property.
(8)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we committed to provide up to approximately $4.0 million as additional compensation, contingent upon the County of Napa approving the planting of additional vineyards on up to 47 acres of the property by February 25, 2020. We are currently unable to estimate when this approval will be obtained, if at all. If approval is obtained, we have also committed to contribute up to $40,000 per approved acre for the development of such vineyards. As provided for in the lease, we will earn additional rent on all of the aforementioned costs, if any, incurred by us.
(9)
In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new, unrelated third-party tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 3-month lease executed on the date of acquisition. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $630,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.
TRS Lease Assumption
(10)
In connection with this acquisition, we executed a 4-month leaseback agreement with the seller that provides for a fixed rental payment of $250,000. In addition, we also executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 4-month leaseback agreement. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $372,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.
Existing Properties
On October 17, 2017, Land Advisers entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Agricultural Lease (the “Assigned TRS Lease”) with the previously-existing tenant on one of our farms located in Ventura County, California. The Assigned TRS Lease, as amended, expired on July 31, 2018. In addition, in connection with the initial operations on the farm, on October 17, 2017, Land Advisers issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the Company that matured on July 31, 2018, and bore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenues from the sale of harvested crops were approximately $2,000 and $7.3 million, respectively, and costs allocated to these sales totaled approximately $175,000 and $7.7 million,

respectively (excluding the allocation of a fee earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers of approximately $15,000 and $176,000, respectively, which is included within Management fee on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations). These amounts (excluding the portion of the fee earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers) are included within Other operating revenues and Other operating expenses, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had approximately $1.1 million of unsold crops on the farm, including approximately $31,000 of unallocated fees earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Fee Arrangements” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on this fee). However, due to certain market conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (primarily the existence of bumper crops in all of the strawberry-growing regions within California), we were unable to sell all of the crops and therefore assessed the market value of such unsold crops to be zero. Accordingly, we wrote down the cost of crop inventory to its estimated net realizable value of zero and recorded a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of approximately $33,000 and $1.1 million, respectively (including approximately $3,000 and $31,000, respectively, of accumulated costs incurred by our Adviser that were allocated to these unsold crops (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption—TRS Fee Arrangements—TRS Expense Sharing Agreement” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements)), included within Loss on write-down of inventory on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our Adviser granted Land Advisers non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waivers of approximately $16,000 and $190,000, respectively, to be applied as credits against a portion of the fees incurred by our Adviser on behalf of Land Advisers pursuant to the TRS Expense Sharing Agreement (as defined in Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption,” within the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).Leasing Activity
The rent owed to us from Land Advisers as a result offollowing table summarizes the Assigned TRS Lease, the principal balance of the promissory note Land Advisers issued to us (and the interest owed thereon), and all such related amounts have been eliminated in consolidation, and, as a result, no rental or interest income from Land Advisers was recorded by usleasing activity that has occurred on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Equity Activity
OP Unit Redemptions

From July 1, 2018, through the date of this filing, a total of 46,544 OP Units were tendered for redemption, and we satisfied the redemption by issuing 46,544 shares of common stock (in exchange for 46,544 of the tendered OP Units). Currently, there are 670,879 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding and eligible to be tendered for redemption.
Series B Preferred Stock
On May 31, 2018, we filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a continuous public offering of up to 6,000,000 shares (the “Primary Offering”) of our newly-designated 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable

Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at an offering price of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of up to $150.0 million and expected net proceeds (after deducting dealer-manager fees, selling commissions, and estimated expenses of the offering payable by us) of up to approximately $131.3 million, assuming all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold in the Primary Offering.offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is being offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), our dealer-manager for the Primary Offering.

There is currently no public market for shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; however, we intend to apply to list the Series B Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange within one calendar year after the offering’s Termination Date, though there can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such timeframe, or at all.
Common Stock
Secondary Offering
In June 2019, we completed a public offering of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.73 per share, and in July 2019, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment offering in connection with the offering (the “June 2019 Offering”). The June 2019 Offering resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,277,297 new shares of common stock (including 277,297 shares issued as a result of the underwriters exercising a portion of their over-allotment option) of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $26.7 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $25.4 million.
At-the-Market Program
On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (“Sales Agreements”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”).

LIBOR Transition
The majority of our common stock underdebt is at fixed rates, and we currently have very limited exposure to variable-rate debt based upon the ATM Program at an average sales priceLondon Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is anticipated to be phased out during late 2021. LIBOR is currently expected to transition to a new standard rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which will incorporate certain overnight repo market data collected from multiple data sets. The current intent is to adjust the SOFR to minimize the differences between the interest that a borrower would be paying using LIBOR versus what it will be paying SOFR. We are currently monitoring the transition and cannot yet assess whether SOFR will become a standard rate for variable-rate debt. However, as our lines of $12.75 per share for grosscredit with MetLife are currently based upon one-month LIBOR, we expect we will need to renegotiate this agreement in the future. Assuming that SOFR replaces LIBOR and net proceeds of approximately $3,000. To date,is appropriately adjusted, we have sold 1,324,867 shares ofexpect the transition to result in a minimal impact to our common stock at an average sales price of $12.83 per share under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $17.0 million and net proceeds (after deducting offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $16.7 million.overall operations.
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator (both affiliates of ours), which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. The investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, that was in effect through March 31, 2017 (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”),as amended from time to time, and the current administration agreement with our

Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) each became effective February 1, 2013. On April 11, 2017, we entered into the Amended Advisory AgreementThe advisory agreement with our Adviser that became effective beginning with the three months endedwas in effect through June 30, 20172019 (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”), was amended on July 9, 2019 (as amended, the “Amended Advisory Agreement”)., and was approved unanimously by our board of directors, including our independent directors.
A summary of the Prior Advisory Agreement is provided in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, and a summary of the compensation terms for each of the PriorAmended Advisory Agreement and the Amended AdvisoryAdministration Agreement is provided in Note 6, “Related-PartyRelated-Party Transactions,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Amended Advisory Agreement was revised to exclude preferred equity from both the base management fee and incentive fee calculations, effective beginning with the fee calculations for the three months ended September 30, 2019. We expect this amendment to result in a decrease to our gross base management fee, as the previous base management fee calculation also calculated a fee on preferred equity securities that were not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes, whereas all preferred equity securities (including those treated as temporary or permanent equity for GAAP purposes) will be excluded from the calculation of the base management fee under the Amended Advisory Agreement. In addition, we expect that the potential for our Adviser to earn an incentive fee will be higher in future periods, as an incentive fee was previously earned under the Prior Advisory Agreement when Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined in the Prior Advisory Agreement) exceeded a certain hurdle rate of total equity (as reported on our balance sheet), whereas, under the Amended Advisory Agreement, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement) will be compared against total common equity (including common OP Units owned by non-controlling OP Unitholders, but excluding all preferred equity securities).
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.

Smaller Reporting Company Status
We currently qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $250 million or less than $100 million in annual revenues for the previous year and no public float. Companies can also qualify as a smaller reporting company if they have annual revenues of less than $100 million for the previous year and a public float of less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings, including the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

RentalThe following table provides a summary of our lease revenues on a same-property basis decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior-year period, by 1.8%. This decrease was primarily due to the renewal of certain leases at lower rental rates subsequent to June 30, 2017, partially offset by additional revenues earned on capital improvements constructed on certain properties since June 30, 2017. Rental revenues on a same-property basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, remained relatively flat from that of the prior-year period, as the additional revenues earned on capital improvements constructed on certain properties since December 31, 2016, were largely offset by the renewal of certain leases at lower rental rates. During the three

and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we earned participation rents of approximately $889,000 and $906,000, respectively, the majority of which came from farms in the Pacific region growing permanent crops. No participation rents were earned in either of the respective prior-year periods. Rental revenues from acquired properties increased for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, due to the additional revenues recorded from owning the 7 and 14 farms we acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Tenant reimbursements represent tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses on certain of our farms, including property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses. Corresponding amounts were also recorded as property operating expenses during the respective periods.
Same-property Basis – 2019 compared to 2018
Lease revenues from fixed lease payments increased for each of the full, three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, coupled with2019, primarily due to recent renewals of certain leases at higher rental rates, as well as additional revenuesrents earned fromon recent capital improvements completed on certain of our farms.These increases were partially offset by the 12 new farmsrenewals of certain other leases, in which we acquired subsequentdecreased the fixed base rent component in exchange for adding in a participation rent component to September 30, 2017. Rentalthe lease structure.
Lease revenues from disposed of, vacant, or self-operated propertiesparticipation rents decreased for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the timing of when certain information (including harvest and crop sale figures) is made available to us. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded participation rents from three and five farms, respectively, as compared to six and eight farms during the respective prior-year periods. We currently expect to recognize participation rents on the remaining farms with a participation rent component during the three months ending December 31, 2019.
Other – 2019 compared to 2018
Lease revenues from both fixed rents and participation rents increased for each of the three- and nine-month periods, primarily due to additional revenues earned on new farms acquired subsequent to December 31, 2017, partially offset by the loss of revenue from a farm that was sold in July 2018.
Lease revenues from vacant or self-operated properties increased for each of the three- and nine-month periods, primarily due to the revenues earned during 2019 on farms that were either vacant or operated by Land Advisers during a portion of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, this increase was partially offset by lost revenues from two farms that were vacant for a portion of the current-year period.
The increase in tenant reimbursements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, was due primarily to the lossadditional contractual reimbursements of rental income on the farm sold during the three months ended September 30, 2018, and a 169-acre farm in California that, until July 31, 2018, was being farmed by Land Advisers (revenue from rents owed to us by Land Advisers was eliminated upon consolidation).

General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and increased for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to each of the respective prior-year periods,periods. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due todriven by higher professional fees as a result of 2018 being the first year for which we are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.(specifically, increased auditing and accounting-related expenses), partially offset by decreases in acquisition-related costs expensed and bad debt expense.
Other operating expenses represent the portion of growing costs, harvesting and selling costs, and certain overhead costs allocated to the costs of crops sold on a farm that was operated by Land Advisers from October 17, 2017, until July 31, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we allocated approximately $0.2 million$175,000 and $7.7 million, respectively, of costs to the crops sold during the respective periods (excluding the allocation of fees earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers of approximately $15,000 and $176,000, respectively). Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, our Adviser granted Land Advisers a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiverswaiver of approximately $16,000 and $190,000, respectively, to be applied against a portion of the fees incurred by our Adviser on behalf of Land Advisers pursuant to the TRS Expense Sharing Agreement. Effective August 1, 2018, the farm was leased to a new, unrelated third-party tenant under a 10-year lease.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income, which generally consists primarily of interest patronage received from Farm Credit (as defined in Note 4, “Borrowings,Borrowings,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and interest earned on short-term investments, increased for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was driven by a commission rebate received in connection with a property acquired during the period and, through July 31, 2019, contractual payments received from a potential buyer of one of our farms pursuant to a reinstated sale agreement to keep the purchase option open (which amounts were nonrefundable and were recognized as income upon receipt). This sale agreement was terminated in August 2019. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior-year period,2019, was primarily driven by additional interest patronage received from Farm Credit (due to increased borrowings from Farm Credit). During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, we recorded approximately $323,000$700,000 of interest patronage from Farm Credit related to interest accrued during 2017,2018, compared to $183,000approximately $323,000 of interest patronage recorded during the prior-year period. The receipt of interest patronage received from Farm Credit during 2018

2019 resulted in a 18.0%21.2% decrease (approximately 7195 basis points) into our effective interest rate on our aggregate borrowings from Farm Credit during the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $110,000 of income as a result of accumulated deferred revenue related to a sale agreement for one of our farms that was terminated. Payments received from the potential buyer of the farm were initially deferred and were recognized as income upon termination of the agreement.
Interest expense increased for botheach of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to increased overall borrowings. The weighted-average principal balance of our aggregate borrowings (excluding our Series A Term Preferred Stock) outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, was approximately $420.9 million and $367.7 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $312.5 million and $304.7 million respectively, as compared to approximately $291.3 million and $265.2 million, respectively, for the respective prior-year periods. Including interest patronage received on certain of our Farm Credit borrowings, the overall effective interest rate charged on our aggregate borrowings (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs) was 3.76%4.03% and 3.49%3.71% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to 3.44%3.76% and 3.24%,3.49% for the respective prior-year periods.
During each of three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid aggregate distributions on our Series A Term Preferred Stock (which distributions are treated similar to interest expense) of approximately $458,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. The same amounts were paid in each of the respective prior-year periods.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, we recorded a net gainloss, primarily related to the disposal of certain irrigation improvements on dispositions of real estate assets driven by our sale of Oregon Trail, which resulted in a gain of approximately $6.4 million, partially offset by a loss of approximately $193,000 that we recorded as a result of irrigation-related improvements that were replaced on certaintwo of our farms. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, we recorded a lossnet capital gain, primarily driven by a sale of approximately $78,000one of our farms in Oregon.
The net property and casualty recoveries (losses) recorded during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to natural disasters that damaged certain irrigation improvements on two of our properties and the insurance recoveries received related to the removaldamaged improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we estimated the aggregate carrying value of blueberry bushes on onethe damaged improvements to be approximately $74,000. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received insurance recoveries of our farms.
Theapproximately $17,000 and $84,000, respectively, which resulted in net property and casualty recoveries of approximately $17,000 and $10,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. For the loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, related to a lightning strike that damagedwe estimated the power plant supplying power to one of our Arizona properties, causing damage to certain irrigation improvements on our property. We estimated theaggregate carrying value of the improvements damaged by the lightning strikeimprovements to be approximately $129,000, and we recognized the write-down in the carrying value of the assets as a property and casualty loss during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018.
The loss on write-down of crop inventory recorded during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was the result of unsold crops grown on the farm operated by Land Advisers. Due to certain market conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we were unable to sell all of the crops and therefore assessed their market value to be zero. Accordingly, we wrote down the cost of crop inventory to its estimated net realizablemarket value of zero and recorded a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of approximately $33,000 and $1.1 million, respectively (including approximately $3,000 and $31,000, respectively, of accumulated costs incurred by our Adviser that were allocated to these unsold crops).2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Since our IPO in January 2013, we have invested approximately $488.0 million in 73 new farms, and we have expended or accrued an additional $38.4 million for improvements on existing properties. Our current short- and long-term sources of funds include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, borrowings (including the undrawn commitments available under the MetLife Facility, and the Farmer Mac Facility, each as defined below under “—Debt Capital”Capital), and issuances of additional equity securities. Our current available liquidity is approximately $9.2$13.4 million, consisting of approximately $3.5$3.1 million in cash on hand and, based on the current level of collateral pledged, $5.7approximately $10.3 million of availability under the MetLife Facility (subject to compliance with covenants).
As of September 30, 2018, our total-debt-to-total-capitalization ratio (including our Series A Term Preferred Stock as debt), at book value, was 70.0%, which is down from 73.6% as of December 31, 2017. However, on a fair value basis, our total-debt-to-total capitalization ratio (including our Series A Term Preferred Stock as debt) as of September 30, 2018, was 57.5%, which is down from 61.1% as of December 31, 2017 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Information—Net Asset Value” below for an explanation of our fair value process).
Future Capital Needs
Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of making distributions to stockholders (including to non-controlling OP Unitholders)Unitholders, if any) to maintain our qualification as a REIT, funding our general operating costs, making principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings, making dividend payments on our Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B

Preferred Stock, and, as capital is available, funding new farmland and farm-related acquisitions consistent with our investment strategy.
We believe that our current and short-term cash resources will be sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders (including non-controlling OP Unitholders), service our debt, pay dividends on our Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and fund our current operating costs in the near term. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future equity issuances (including, but not limited to, shares of common stock through our

ATM Program, OP Units through our Operating Partnership as consideration for future acquisitions, and shares of our Series B Preferred Stock), long-term mortgage indebtedness and bond issuances, and other secured and unsecured borrowings.
We intend to use a significant portion of any current and future available liquidity to purchase additional farms and farm-related properties.facilities. We continue to actively seek and evaluate acquisitions of additional farms and farm-related propertiesfacilities that satisfy our investment criteria, and our pipeline of potential acquisitions remains healthy. We currently have fourseveral properties under signed purchase and sale agreements for an aggregate proposed purchase priceor non-binding letters of approximately $20.3 million, all of whichintent that we expecthope to be consummatedconsummate during either the remaining two months of 2018remainder 2019 or in the first quarter of 2019. We currently have access to the capital required to complete these transactions for the proposed purchase price amounts; however, we continue to explore various options for access to additional capital, as evidenced by our recent launch of a continuous offering of the Series B Preferred Stock.early 2020. We also have many other properties that are in various other stages of our due diligence process, including several properties under signed, non-binding letters of intent.process. However, all potential acquisitions will be subject to our due diligence investigation of such properties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying or acquiring any properties in the future.

Operating Activities
The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments we receive from our tenants, which is first used to fund our property-level operating expenses, with any excess cash being primarily used for principal and interest payments on our borrowings, management fees to our Adviser, administrative fees to our Administrator, and other corporate-level expenses. Cash provided by operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to receipts from crop sales and additional rental payments received from recent acquisitions, partially offset by increased property operating expenses (driven by temporary generator rental costs for newly-drilled wells on one of our properties) incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior-year period, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with the operations on the farm leased to Land Advisers and increased interest payments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2019.
Investing Activities
The decreaseincrease in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to a decreasean increase in aggregate cash paid for acquisitions of new farms and capital improvements on existing farms during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, which was approximately $89.5$161.0 million lessmore than the prior-year period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of approximately $13.7 million in cash paid for capital improvements made on existing properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the prior-year period.
Financing Activities
The decreaseincrease in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to decreasedincreases in net borrowings as ourof approximately $101.2 million and net borrowingscash proceeds from equity issuances (including the Series B Preferred Stock and common stock) of approximately $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased by approximately $73.0 million from that of the prior-year period. In addition, aggregate net

cash proceeds received from equity offerings (including our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased by approximately $6.0 million from2019, as compared to that of the prior-year period.
Debt Capital
MetLife
As amended on December 15, 2017, our facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) consists of a total of $200.0 million of term notes and $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the “MetLife Facility”). In aggregate, we currently have approximately $126.7$163.9 million outstanding under the term notes that bearbears interest at a blended fixed rate of 3.30%3.46% per annum (which rate is fixed until January 5, 2027) and $7.4$12.7 million outstanding under the lines of credit that currently bearbears interest at a weighted-average rate of 4.66%4.03% (which rate isrates are variable). While approximately $131.1$83.8 million of the full commitment amount under the MetLife Facility remains undrawn (including approximately $9.8 million of aggregate amortizing principal payments made on the term notes), based on the level of collateral pledged, we currently have approximately $5.7$10.3 million of availability under the MetLife Facility. In addition, we are currently in discussions with MetLife to extend the draw period applicable to the term

notes under the facility, which is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019, though we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so on terms favorable to us, or at all.
Farmer Mac
As amended on June 16, 2016, our agreement with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) providesprovided for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $125.0 million (the “Farmer Mac Facility”). To date, by December 11, 2018, after which Farmer Mac had the option to be relieved of its obligation to purchase additional bonds under this facility. As of December 11, 2018, we havehad issued aggregate bonds of approximately $108.7 million under the Farmer Mac Facility, and Farmer Mac is not obligated to purchase the remaining unissued bonds. We are currently in discussions with Farmer Mac to both expand the size of the facility and extend the borrowing period; however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach terms favorable to us, if at all. We currently have $90.9$90.4 million of bonds outstanding under the facility that bearsbear interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.55% (which rates are fixed throughout the bonds’ respective terms) and have a weighted-average maturity date of November 2022. While approximately $16.3 million of the full commitment balance remains undrawn, we currently have no additional availability under the Farmer Mac Facility based on the level of collateral pledged. However, we expect to pledge certain additional potential new property acquisitions as collateral under the Farmer Mac Facility to utilize some or all of this remaining commitment balance. If we have not issued bonds such that the aggregate bond issuances total $125.0 million by December 11, 2018, Farmer Mac has the option to be relieved of its obligation to purchase additional bonds under this facility. We are currently in discussions with Farmer Mac to both expand the size of the Farmer Mac Facility and extend the borrowing period thereunder.
Farm Credit
Since September 2014, we have closed on 2030 separate loans with six10 different Farm Credit associations (including Farm Credit CFL, Farm Credit West, CF Farm Credit, Farm Credit FL, NW Farm Credit, and SWGA Farm Credit, each as defined in(for additional information, see Note 4, “Borrowings,Borrowings,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) for an aggregate amount of approximately $107.5$194.0 million (the “Farm Credit Notes Payable”). We currently have approximately $98.8$182.6 million outstanding under the Farm Credit Notes Payable that bear interest at an expected weighted-average effective interest rate (net of expected interest patronage) of 3.81%3.73% (which rates are fixed, on a weighted-average basis, until September 2024)May 2026) and have a weighted-average maturity date of MarchFebruary 2036. While we do not have any additional availability under any of our Farm Credit programs based on the properties currently pledged as collateral, we expect to enter into additional borrowing agreements with existing and new Farm Credit associations in connection with certain potential new acquisitions in the future.
Equity Capital
SinceThe following table provides information on equity sales that have occurred since January 1, 2018,2019, through the date of this filing we have completed one overnight common stock offering and have also issued shares of common stock through our ATM Program. In the aggregate, through these transactions, we have issued and sold a total of 1,981,231 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $24.6 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $23.7 million. In addition, on May 31, 2018, we launched a continuous public offering of up to $150.0 million of newly-designated Series B Preferred Stock, which will be offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities. Through the date of this filing, we have sold 592,401 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $14.8 million and net proceeds (net of certain discounts and after deducting selling commissions and dealer-manager fees borne by us) of approximately $13.3 million. Total selling commissions and dealer-manager fees earned by Gladstone Securities as a result of these sales were approximately $1.4 million (of which approximately $1.3 million was remitted by Gladstone Securities to unrelated third-parties involved(dollars in the offering, such as participating broker-dealers and wholesalers).thousands, except per-share amounts):

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed funds from operations (“FFO”) as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate

historically has not depreciated on the same basis as determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We further present core FFO (“CFFO”) and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) as additional non-GAAP financial measures of our operational performance, as we believe both CFFO and AFFO improve comparability on a period-over-period basis and are more useful supplemental metrics for investors to use in assessing our operational performance on a more sustainable basis than FFO. We believe that these additional performance metrics provide investors with additional insight to how management measures our ongoing performance, as each of CFFO and AFFO (and their respective per-share amounts) are used by management and our board of directors, as appropriate, in assessing overall performance, as well as in certain decision-making analysis, including, but not limited to, the timing of acquisitions and potential equity raises (and the type of securities to offer in any such equity raises), the determination of any fee credits, and declarations of distributions on our common stock. We believe that net income is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO.

Specifically, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in better understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, as we believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, particularly with farmland real estate, the value of which does not diminish in a predictable manner over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. Further, we believe that CFFO and AFFO are helpful in understanding our operating performance in that it removes certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable on a period-over-period basis and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance. In addition, we believe that providing CFFO and AFFO as additional performance metrics allows investors to gauge our overall performance in a manner that is more similar to how our performance is measured by management (including their respective per-share amounts), as well as by analysts and the overall investment community.
We calculate CFFO by adjusting FFO for the following items:
 
Acquisition-relatedAcquisition- and disposition-related expenses. Acquisition-relatedAcquisition- and disposition-related expenses (i.e.,(including due diligence costs)costs on acquisitions not consummated and certain auditing and accounting fees incurred directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions) are incurred for investment purposes and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our existing portfolio. Further, duecertain auditing and accounting fees incurred vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions or dispositions completed during a period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred and how they have historically been treated for accounting purposes, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis.
Acquisition- and disposition-related accounting fees. Certain auditing and accounting fees we incur are directly related to acquisitions or dispositions and vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions or dispositions completed during a period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis.
Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-recurring charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we modified our definitions of CFFO and AFFO to exclude the net incremental impact of the farming operations conducted through Land Advisers, (including revenues from crop sales, costs of such sales, the incremental management fee earned by our Adviser pursuant to the expense-sharing agreement between our Adviser and Land Advisers, the loss on write-down of inventory, and the credit granted to Land Advisers by our Adviser, collectively, the “Incremental TRS Operations”), as we do not anticipate this to be an ongoing aspect of our core operations. As such, we believe the exclusion of the Incremental TRS Operationsthese amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply the same modified definitions of CFFO and AFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.
Further, we calculate AFFO by adjusting CFFO for the following items:
 
Rent adjustments. This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, other deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. In addition to these adjustments, we also modify the calculation of cash rents within our definition of AFFO to provide greater consistency and comparability due to the period-to-period volatility in which cash rents are received. To coincide with our tenants’ harvest seasons, our leases typically provide for cash rents to be paid at various points throughout the lease year, usually annually or semi-annually. As a result, cash rents received during a particular period may not necessarily be comparable to other periods or represent the cash rents indicative of a given lease year. Therefore, we further adjust AFFO to normalize the cash rent received pertaining to a lease year over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned.
Amortization of debt issuance costs. The amortization of costs incurred to obtain financing is excluded from AFFO, as it is a non-cash expense item that is not directly related to the operating performance of our properties.
We believe the foregoing adjustments aid our investors’ understanding of our ongoing operational performance.
FFO, CFFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a

measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparisons of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, using the NAREIT definition for


FFO and the definitions above for CFFO and AFFO, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the definitions used by such REITs.
Diluted funds from operations (“Diluted FFO”), diluted core funds from operations (“Diluted CFFO”), and diluted adjusted funds from operations (“Diluted AFFO”) per share are FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, respectively, divided by the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding on a fully-diluted basis during a period. We believe that diluted earnings per share is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share. Because many REITs provide Diluted FFO, CFFO, and

AFFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs.
We believe that FFO, CFFO, and AFFO and Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and EPS in evaluating net income.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018 to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share, using the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding during the respective periods (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Net Asset Value
Real estate companies are required to record real estate using the historical cost basis of the real estate, adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization, and, as a result, the carrying value of the real estate does not typically change as the fair value of the assets change. Thus, one challenge is determining the fair value of the real estate in order to allow stockholders to see the value of the real estate increase or decrease over time, which we believe is useful to our investors.
Determination of Fair Value
Our Board of Directors reviews and approves the valuations of our properties pursuant to a valuation policy approved by our Board of Directors (the “Valuation Policy”). Such review and approval occurs in three phases: (i) prior to its quarterly

meetings, the Board of Directors receives written valuation recommendations and supporting materials that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator, with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer, who is also employed by the Administrator (collectively, the “Valuation Team”); (ii) the valuation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Valuation Committee”), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, meets to review the valuation recommendations

and supporting materials; and (iii) after the Valuation Committee concludes its meeting, it and the chief valuation officer present the Valuation Committee’s findings to the entire Board of Directors so that the full Board of Directors may review and approve the fair values of our properties in accordance with the Valuation Policy. Further, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors reviews the Valuation Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Valuation Policy consistently.
Per the Valuation Policy, our valuations are generally derived based on the following:
For properties acquired within 12 months prior to the date of valuation, the purchase price of the property will generally be used as the current fair value unless overriding factors apply. In situations where OP Units are issued as partial or whole consideration in connection with the acquisition of a property, the fair value of the property will generally be the lower of: (i) the agreed-upon purchase price between the seller and the buyer (as shown in the purchase and sale agreement or contribution agreement and using the agreed-upon pricing of the OP Units, if applicable), or (ii) the value as determined by an independent, third-party appraiser.
For real estate we acquired more than one year prior to the date of valuation, we determine the fair value either by relying on estimates provided by independent, third-party appraisers or through an internal valuation process. In addition, if significant capital improvements take place on a property, we will typically have those properties reappraised upon completion of the project by an independent, third-party appraiser. In any case, we intend to have each property valued by an independent, third-party appraiser via a full appraisal at least once every three years, with interim values generally being determined by either: (i) a restricted appraisal (a “desk appraisal”) performed by an independent, third-party appraiser, or (ii) our internal valuation process.
Various methodologies were used, both by the appraisers and in our internal valuations, to determine the fair value of our real estate, on a fee simple, “as-is” basis, including the sales comparison, income capitalization (or a discounted cash flow analysis), and cost approaches of valuation. In performing their analyses, the appraisers typically (i) conducted site visits to the properties (where full appraisals were performed), (ii) discussed each property with our Adviser and reviewed property-level information, including, but not limited to, property operating data, prior appraisals (as available), existing lease agreements, farm acreage, location, access to water and water rights, potential for future development, and other property-level information, and (iii) reviewed information from a variety of sources about regional market conditions applicable to each of our properties, including, but not limited to, recent sale prices of comparable farmland, market rents for similar farmland, estimated marketing and exposure time, market capitalization rates, and the current economic environment, among others. In performing our internal valuations, we will consider the most recent appraisal available and use similar methodologies in determining an updated fair value. We will also obtain updated market data related to the property, such as updated sales and market rent comparisons and market capitalization rates, and perform an updated assessment of the tenants’ credit risk profiles, among others. Sources of this data may come from market inputs from recent acquisitions of our own portfolio of real estate, recent appraisals of properties we own that are similar in nature and in the same region (as applicable) as the property being valued, market conditions and trends we observe in our due diligence process, and conversations with appraisers, brokers, and farmers.
A breakdown of the methodologies used to value our properties and the aggregate value as of September 30, 2018,2019, determined by each method is shown in the table below (dollars in thousands, except in footnotes):

Some of the significant assumptions used by appraisers and the Valuation Team in valuing our portfolio as of September 30, 2018,2019, include land values per farmable acre, market rental rates per farmable acre and the resulting net operating income (“NOI”) at the property level, and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions were applied on a farm-by-farm basis and were selected based on several factors, including comparable land sales, surveys of both existing and current market rates, discussions with other brokers and farmers, soil quality, size, location, and other factors deemed appropriate. A summary of these significant assumptions is provided in the following table:

 
Range
(Low - High)
 Weighted
Average
 
Range
(Low - High)
 Weighted
Average
Land Value (per farmable acre) $600 – $92,176 $33,491

Market Rent (per farmable acre) $247 – $4,718 $2,261
Market NOI (per farmable acre) $250 – $4,600 $2,997
Market Capitalization Rate 3.12% – 5.65% 4.20% 3.75% – 8.25% 4.29%
Note: Figures in the table above apply only to the farmland portion of our portfolio and exclude assumptions made relating to farm-related property (e.g., cooling facilities), and other structures on our properties (e.g., residential housing), as their aggregate value was considered to be insignificant in relation to that of the farmland.
Our Valuation Team reviews the appraisals, including the significant assumptions and inputs used in determining the appraised values, and considers any developments that may have occurred since the time the appraisals were performed. Developments considered that may have an impact on the fair value of our real estate include, but are not limited to, changes in tenant credit profiles, changes in lease terms (such as expirations and notices of non-renewals or to vacate), and potential asset sales (particularly those at prices different from the appraised values of our properties).
Management believes that the purchase prices of the farms acquired during the previous 12 months and the most recent appraisals available for the farms acquired prior to the previous 12 months that were not valued internally, and the farms that were valued internally during the previous 12 months fairly represent the current market values of the properties as of September 30, 2018,2019, and, accordingly, did not make any adjustment to these values.
A quarterly roll-forward of the change in our portfolio value for the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, from the prior value basis as of June 30, 2018,2019, is provided in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Total portfolio fair value as of September 30, 2019 $824,506
Management also determined fair values of all of its long-term borrowings and preferred stock. Using a discounted cash flow analysis, management determined that the fair value of all long-term encumbrances on our properties as of September 30, 2018,2019, was approximately $302.7$454.5 million, as compared to a carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $318.4$450.8 million. In addition, using the closing stock price as of September 30, 2018,2019, the fair value of the Series A Term Preferred stock was determined to be approximately $29.6 million, as compared to a carrying value (excluding unamortized related issuance costs) of approximately $28.8 million. Finally, pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2310(b)(5), with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert, we determined the estimated value of our Series B Preferred Stock to be $25.00 per share as of September 30, 20182019 (see Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-Q).
Calculation of Estimated Net Asset Value
To provide our stockholders with an estimate of the fair value of our real estate assets, we intend to estimate the fair value of our farms and farm-related properties and provide an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) on a quarterly basis. NAV is a non-GAAP, supplemental measure of financial position of an equity REIT and is calculated as total equity, adjusted for the increase or decrease in fair value of our real estate assets and long-term borrowings (including any preferred stock required to be treated as debt for GAAP purposes) relative to their respective costs bases. Further, we calculate NAV per common share by dividing NAV by our total common shares outstanding (consisting of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners). A reconciliation of NAV to total equity, which we believe is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
The fair values presented above and their usage in the calculation of net asset value per share presented below have been prepared by and is the responsibility of management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has neither examined, compiled, nor performed any procedures with respect to the fair values or the calculation of net asset value per common share, which utilizes information that is not disclosed within the financial statements, and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
As of September 30, 2018,2019, we estimate ourthe NAV per common share to be $13.79, as detailed$11.49. A reconciliation of NAV to total equity, which we believe is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per-share data):

Reflective of shares of our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock issued during the three months ended September 30, 2018, as well as the redemption of certain OP Units (see Note 7, “Equity,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements).
Comparison of estimated NAV and estimated NAV per common share, using the definitions above, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the calculation or application of the definition of NAV used by such REITs. In addition, the trading price of our common shares may differ significantly from our most recent estimated NAV per common share calculation. For example, while we estimated our NAV per common share to be $11.49 as of September 30, 2018, to be $13.79 per share2019, based on the calculation above, the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2018,2019, was $12.34, and it has subsequently traded between $11.90 and $13.17 per share.
The determination of estimated NAV is subjective and involves a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, and minor adjustments to these assumptions, judgments, or estimates may have a material impact on our overall portfolio valuation. In addition, many of the assumptions used are sensitive to market conditions and can change frequently. Changes in the market environment and other events that may occur during our ownership of these properties may cause the values reported above to vary from the actual fair value that may be obtained in the open market. Further, while management believes the values presented reflect current market conditions, the ultimate amount realized on any asset will be based on the timing of such dispositions and the then-current market conditions. There can be no assurance that the ultimate realized value upon disposition of an asset will approximate the estimated fair value above.


ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. The primary market risk that we believe we are and will be exposedThis Item is not applicable to is interest rate risk. Certain of our existing leases contain escalations based on market indices, and certain of our existing borrowings are subject to variable interest rates. Further, the interest rates on certain of our fixed-rate borrowings are either fixed for a finite period before converting to variable rate or are subject to periodic adjustments. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by structuring certain provisions into many of our leases, such as escalation clauses or adjusting the rent to prevailing market rents at two- to three-year intervals, these features do not eliminate this risk. To date, we have not entered into any derivative contracts to attempt to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.
As of September 30, 2018, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings outstanding (excluding our Series A Term Preferred Stock), which accounted for approximately 100.0% of the aggregate principal balance of all borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2018, was approximately $302.7 million. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings. If market interest rates had been one percentage point lower or higher than those rates in place as of September 30, 2018, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings would have increased or decreased by approximately $13.1 million or $12.2 million, respectively.
There have been no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative market risk disclosures for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from that disclosed in our Form 10-K.smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2018,2019, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018,2019, in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018,2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
