Our Board of Directors’ Determination of Estimated Value Per Share
Background
On October 27, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the formation of a valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”) comprised of the independent members of the Board as an initial step in the process of determining an estimated value per share of the Company’s shares of common stock as of December 31, 2015.
On April 7, 2016, the Board determined an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $12.40 as of December 31, 2015. The Company is providing the estimated value per share of its common stock to assist the broker dealers that participated in the Company’s initial and follow-on public offerings in meeting their ongoing customer account statement reporting obligations under the current rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).
The Valuation Committee and the Board oversaw this process of determining the estimated value per share. In determining the estimated value per share, the Valuation Committee relied upon information provided in a report provided by WKW Financial Advisors (“WKW”), an independent consulting firm providing authoritative studies, financial analysis, valuation and strategic advisory services, engaged with the approval of the Valuation Committee, and the Board’s experience with, and knowledge of, the Company and its real property and other assets as of December 31, 2015.
As outlined in WKWs report, dated April 6, 2016 (the “Valuation Report”), the scope of WKWs engagement and analysis included, but was not limited to:
·
Discussions with the Company’s management to gather pertinent facts and data;
·
Examination of current market conditions including supply and demand factors, growth patterns, and their effect of each of the Company’s properties;
·
Application of the income capitalization approach, by discounted cash flow or direct capitalization as appropriate, for each of the Company’s properties;
·
Application of the sales comparison approach, as applicable or required to validate credible results, for any of the Company’s properties which may or may not include an analysis of the ad valorem tax values;
·
Determination of an estimated value for each of the Company’s properties;
·
Review of other assets and liabilities of the Company and estimation of their fair values as of the valuation date, including assets and liabilities which are contingent in nature as of the valuation date and which may not be quantified in the Company’s financial statements or notes to financial statements as of the valuation date.
The members of the Valuation Committee and the Board met with WKW to review and understand the facts, capitalization rate assumptions, and economic considerations of the various real estate sub-markets in which the Company’s properties are located.
Valuation Methodology
Real Estate Investments. As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned 15 commercial properties. The Board determined the fair value of the Company’s real estate investments to be $247,300,000 as of that date. This determination was based on an income capitalization approach. Real estate investment
valuations were performed in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice of the Appraisal Foundation and Practice Guideline 2013-01, Valuations of Publicly Registered Non-Listed REITs, issued by the Investment Program Association, of the “IPA,” in April 2013.
Notes Payable. The Valuation Report included an estimated valuation of the Company’s notes payable as equal to fair value as of December 31, 2015. The Board determined that the fair value of notes payable as of December 31, 2015 was $76,417,905.
Other Assets and Liabilities. The Valuation Report included [an estimated valuation of] the Company’s other assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and other prepaid expenses and other assets. These other assets and liabilities were considered by the Board to be equal to their fair values as of December 31, 2015 due to their short maturities.
Estimated Value Per Share. The estimated value per share was based upon 13,769,384 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2015. Although the estimated value per share has been developed as a measure of value as of a specific time, December 31, 2015, the estimated value per share does not reflect a liquidity discount for the fact that the shares are not currently traded on a national securities exchange or the limited nature in which a shareholder may redeem shares under the Company’s share redemption program (if at all), a discount for the non-assumability or prepayment obligations associated with certain of the Company’s debt, or a discount for the Company’s corporate level overhead.
The following table presents how the estimated value per share was determined as of December 31, 2015:
Limitations of Valuation Method. FINRA rules provide limited guidance on the methods an issuer must use to determine its estimated value per share. As with any valuation method, and as noted above, the methods used to determine the Company’s estimated value per share were based upon a number of assumptions, estimates and judgments that may not be accurate or complete. The estimated value per share determined by the Board is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that, among other things:
·
a stockholder would be able to realize the estimated value per share if such stockholder attempts to sell his or her shares;
·
a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to the estimated value per share upon liquidation of the Company’s assets and settlement of the Company’s liabilities or a sale of the Company;
·
shares of the Company’s common stock would trade at the estimated value per share on a national securities exchange;
·
a third party would offer the estimated value per share in an arms-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of the shares of the Company’s common stock; or
·
the methods used to determine the estimated value per share would be acceptable to FINRA, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities regulatory entity with respect to their respective requirements.
Further, the estimated value per share was calculated as of a particular moment in time and the value of the Company’s shares will fluctuate over time as a result of, among other things, future acquisitions or dispositions of assets (including acquisitions and dispositions of real estate investments since December 31, 2015), developments related to individual assets and changes in the real estate and capital markets.
