NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE |
HCIC Seller Carry Back Notes |
Beginning on September 17, 2009, Two Rivers began acquiring shares in HCIC and related land from a HCIC shareholder. As part of these acquisitions, many of the sellers financed notes payable with Two Rivers and HCIC. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, these loans totaled $7,364,000 and $7,403,000, respectfully. The notes carry interest at 6% per annum, interest payable monthly, the principal amounts due at various dates from March 31, 2013 through September 30, 2015, and are collateralized by HCIC shares and land. |
As of December 31, 2012, of the $7,364,000 in seller carry back notes, notes representing $2,709,000 provides the holders the right to convert some or all of the amounts owing into the Company’s stock at $1/share to $1.25/share. The holder can convert anytime until the note is paid. These convertible notes of $2,114,000 are due on August 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 with 6% annual interest, with the interest paid monthly. |
In June 2013, the Company negotiated an extension on holders representing $6,164,000 of the seller carry back notes. Previously these amounts were due either August or September, 2013. The holders of the notes agreed to extend the due date to June 30, 2016. In exchange for this extension, the Company increased the principal balance by 20% from $6,164,000 to $7,397,000, paid 5.43% against the principal and agreed to begin paying monthly interest and principal at a 20-year amortization rate. |
Holders representing $2,777,000 of the notes held conversion rights into the Company’s common shares at $1.00 to $1.25. These conversions were cancelled and replaced by 5-year warrants at $3.00 per share. A total of 1,367,000 warrants were issued. The warrants issued had a fair value of $277,000 using the Black Scholes method of fair value determination. |
Pursuant to ASC 470-50-40-10, testing was performed by management on whether the new note structure constituted a debt extinguishment and issuance of new debt. Management determined that this note modification qualified as a debt extinguishment. Therefore ASC 820 was used to determine the fair value of the new debt issued. The fair value, using a 10% discount factor for the present value analysis of the new cash flow stream and fair value of the warrants issued determined the fair value of the new debt to be $7,037,000. Compared to the prior debt value of $6,164,000, the fair value produced a one-time $873,000 loss, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013. |
Additionally, a discount on the HCIC debt was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 for $637,000, which will be amortized using an effective interest rate of 10% over the three year term. As of December 31, 2013 the discount was $548,000. |
Orlando Seller Carry Back Note |
On January 28, 2011, the Company purchased water storage and direct flow from the Orlando Reservoir No. 2 Company, LLC (“Orlando”) for $3,100,000, which consisted of a cash payment of $100,000 and a seller financed note payable of $3,000,000. The note was due January 28, 2014. Interest is to be paid based on 50% of the Company’s gross profits received from all of the Company’s crop operations payment or sales where the water assets from Orlando are used and $40 per acre foot of water used. The Company was accruing interest at 5% per annum until a better estimate can be made on the payments to be made to Orlando. The holder of the note has an option to convert the amount of all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest into common stock of Two Rivers at the conversion price of $4.00 per share. The Company also recorded a gain on forgiveness of debt of $384,000. |
In July 2011, the Company and Orlando renegotiated the purchase of the Orlando LLC for 650,000 shares of the Company’s stock, $1,412,500 cash payment and a seller carryback note of $187,500. The Company shares were valued at $1,557,000. Upon the completion of the Orlando purchase, the Company engaged a water research firm to perform a valuation of Orlando. The valuation report was issued on January 16, 2012 with an approximate value of $5,195,000. |
Series A Convertible Debt |
In February 2011, F-1 offered a $2,000,000 Series A convertible debt offering. This offering was closed at the end of February 2011. This offering financed the land, water rights, irrigation, and farm equipment for F-1. The terms of this debt is interest at 5% per annum, one-third of the crop profit and the right to convert debt into Company common stock at $2.50/share. The note was due March 31, 2014. When the debt was issued and closed, the Company’s stock was trading for less than the conversion, so no additional beneficial interest was recognized. |
In December 2012 the Company offered the holders of the Series A convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-1 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants in Two Rivers Water & Farming Company. Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers. For every two preferred shares, one warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued. The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers. |
As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series A debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $1,975,000 of the debt thereby leaving $25,000 of the originally issued Series A convertible debt and accrued interest of $86,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012. In order to properly record the conversion, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as the F-1 preferred shares have a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) with detachable warrants. The Company determined the fair value of the associated warrants to be $494,000, after a relative fair value allocation was performed on the $1,989,000 of debt converted (includes $14,000 of accrued interest). The remaining amount of $1,494,000 was recorded as the original face value of the F-1 preferred shares. The F-1 preferred shares are recorded as non-controlling interest due to being legally issued in the name of F-1. The F-1 preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $1 per share. A BCF was determined to exist at the time of issuance, resulting in a deemed preferred share dividend of $882,000. |
The Series A conversion transaction was recorded as of December 31, 2012. |

Series B Convertible Debt |
In June 2011, F-2 offered a $6,000,000 Series B convertible debt offering. This offering was closed at the end of August 2011 having raised $5,332,000. This offering financed the land, water rights, and irrigation for F-2. The terms of this debt was interest at 6% per annum and 10% of the net-crop revenue of production of farm product from land owned by F-2. Net-crop revenue is defined as the gross selling price of the crops less basis. Basis is the difference between the futures price for a commodity and the local cash price offered by grain buyers. It reflects the cost of marketing grain from one point of sale to another point of sale. The 10% net-crop revenue share is paid on the crops that are produced on the approximately 1,200 acres of farmland that secures the Series B debt. |
The Note holders have the right to convert debt into Company common stock at $2.50/share. The notes are due June 30, 2014. |
In conjunction with the Series B, the Company issued 2,132,800 warrants to the debt holders that could be exercised into the Company’s common shares at $2.50 through December 31, 2012. The Company also issued 171,000 warrants (convertible at $2.50/share) to three broker-dealers with an expiration of September 30, 2014. The fair value of the warrants issued was computed at $1,675,000 for the debt holder warrants. This amount was recorded as a discount on the note and is amortized over the life of the note to interest expense utilizing the effective-interest method. There is an additional expense of $149,000 for the broker dealer warrants, which is amortized over the warrants and recognized as interest expense. |
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company also recorded a beneficial conversion amount with Series B. After accounting for the fair value of the warrants at $0.7854/share, the adjusted and effective Series B conversion rate is $1.7146/share. Taking into account the various closing dates of the Series B and the respective stock price of our common stock at each closing, the value of the beneficial conversion feature is $1,490,000. This amount was recorded as a discount on the note and is accreted over the life of the note to interest expense utilizing the effective-interest method. The Company estimated the effective interest rate to be 46% per annum. |
In December 2012, F-2 offered the holders of the Series B convertible debt the opportunity to convert their debt into preferred shares of F-2 (which converted from an LLC to a corporation) and receive warrants in the Company. Each preferred share can be converted into one share of common stock of Two Rivers. For every two preferred shares, a warrant to purchase one common share of the Company was also issued. The warrant expires December 31, 2017 and can be exercised at $3 per common share of Two Rivers. |
As of December 31, 2012, we received from the Series B debt holders the intent, subject to a final review of all transactional and legal documents, to convert $5,107,000 of the debt thereby leaving $225,000 of the originally issued Series B convertible debt and accrued interest of $194,000 as outstanding as of December 31, 2012. In order to properly record the conversion, the Company applied the guidance in ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” as the F-2 preferred shares have a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) with detachable warrants. The Company determined the fair value of the associated warrants to be $1,301,000, after a relative fair value allocation was performed on the $5,233,000 of debt converted (includes $126,000 of accrued interest). The remaining amount of $3,933,000 was recorded as the original face value of the F-2 preferred shares. The F-2 preferred shares are recorded as non-controlling interest due to being legally issued in the name of F-2. The F-2 preferred shares are convertible into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $1 per share. A BCF was determined to exist at the time of issuance, resulting in a deemed preferred share dividend of $2,347,000. |
The Series B conversion transaction was recorded as of December 31, 2012. |
