| Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policie s Organization Farmland Partners Inc. (“FPI”), collectively with its subsidiaries, is an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality farmland located in agricultural markets throughout North America. FPI was incorporated in Maryland on September 27, 2013. FPI elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2014. FPI is the sole member of the sole general partner of Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed in Delaware on September 27, 2013. All of FPI’s assets are held by, and its operations are primarily conducted through, the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2022, FPI owned a 97.4% interest in the Operating Partnership. See “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests” for additional discussion regarding Class A Common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Common units”), Series A preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series A preferred units”) and Series B participating preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series B participating preferred units”). Unlike holders of FPI’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), holders of the Operating Partnership’s Common units and Series A preferred units generally do not have voting rights or the power to direct the affairs of FPI. As of June 30, 2022, the Operating Partnership owns a 9.97% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity method investment that holds 10 properties (see “Note 1—Convertible Notes Receivable”, “Note 1—Equity Method Investments”, and “Note 4—Related Party Transactions”). References to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean collectively FPI and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned a portfolio of approximately 160,100 acres of farmland which are consolidated in these financial statements. In addition, the Company serves as property manager over approximately 25,200 acres of farmland. On August 17, 2017, the Company issued 6,037,500 shares of its newly designated 6.00% Series B Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series B Participating Preferred Stock”) in an underwritten public offering. On October 4, 2021, the Company converted all 5,806,797 shares of the outstanding Series B Participating Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. (See “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity—Series B Participating Preferred Stock” for more information on the Series B Participating Preferred Stock). On March 16, 2015, the Company formed FPI Agribusiness Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (the “TRS” or “FPI Agribusiness”), as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We engage directly in farming, provide property management, auction, and brokerage services and volume purchasing services to our tenants through the TRS. As of June 30, 2022, the TRS performed direct farming operations on 2,973 acres of farmland owned by the Company located in California and Michigan. All references to numbers and percent of acres within this report are unaudited. Principles of Combination and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of FPI and the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim Financial Information The information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is unaudited. The accompanying financial statements include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year ending December 31, 2022. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, the impacts of the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the war in Ukraine, substantially higher prices for oil and gas and substantially increased interest rates, and their effects on the domestic and global economies. We are unable to quantify the ultimate impact of these factors on our business. Real Estate Acquisitions When the Company acquires farmland where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or a group of similar identifiable assets, it is not considered a business. As such, the Company accounts for these types of acquisitions as asset acquisitions. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or a group of similar assets, and contains acquired inputs and processes which have the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs, these acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations. The Company considers single identifiable assets as tangible assets that are attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible asset without incurring significant cost or significant diminution in utility or fair value. The Company considers similar assets as assets that have a similar nature and risk characteristics. Whether the Company’s acquisitions are treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360 or a business combination under ASC 805, the fair value of the purchase price is allocated among the assets acquired and any liabilities assumed by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, permanent plantings and any liabilities, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition. Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company allocates the purchase price of the real estate based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which historically have consisted of land, drainage improvements, irrigation improvements, groundwater, permanent plantings (bushes, shrubs, vines and perennial crops) and grain facilities, and may also consist of intangible assets, including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets by valuing the land as if it were unimproved. The Company values improvements, including permanent plantings and grain facilities, at replacement cost, adjusted for depreciation. Management’s estimates of land value are made using a comparable sales analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis of land value include soil types, water availability and the sale prices of comparable farms. Management’s estimates of groundwater value are made using historical information obtained regarding the applicable aquifer. Factors considered by management in its analysis of groundwater value are related to the location of the aquifer and whether or not the aquifer is a depletable resource or a replenishing resource. If the aquifer is a replenishing resource, no value is allocated to the groundwater. The Company includes an estimate of property taxes in the purchase price allocation of acquisitions to account for the expected liability that was assumed. When above or below market leases are acquired, the Company values the intangible assets based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases, and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases that are considered bargain renewal options. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair value of acquired below market leases, included in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is amortized as an increase to rental income on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options of the respective leases. The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships, if they are acquired, based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease, availability of replacement tenants, probability of lease renewal, estimated down time and its overall relationship with the tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are included as an intangible asset and have been amortized over the remaining lease term (including expected renewal periods of the respective leases for tenant relationships) as amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to its stated expiration, any unamortized amounts relating to that lease, including above and below market leases, in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, would be recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate. The Company capitalizes acquisition costs and due diligence costs if the asset is expected to qualify as an asset acquisition. If the asset acquisition is abandoned, the capitalized asset acquisition costs are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs in the period of abandonment. Costs associated with a business combination are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs as incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred an immaterial amount of costs related to acquisition and due diligence. Total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities. When equity securities are issued, the Company determines the fair value of the equity securities issued based on the number of shares or units issued multiplied by the price per share or unit. Using information available at the time of a business combination, the Company allocates the total consideration to tangible assets and liabilities and identified intangible assets and liabilities. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date when incomplete information exists as of the respective reporting date, the Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocations after obtaining more information about assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Real Estate Sales The Company recognizes gains from the sales of real estate assets generally at the time the title is transferred and consideration is received. Liquidity Policy The Company manages its liquidity position and expected liquidity needs taking into consideration current cash balances, undrawn availability under its lines of credit, and reasonably expected cash receipts. The business model of the Company, and of real estate investment companies in general, relies on debt as a structural source of financing. When debt becomes due, it is generally refinanced rather than repaid using the Company’s cash flow from operations. The Company has a history of being able to refinance its debt obligations prior to maturity. Furthermore, the Company also has a deep portfolio of real estate assets which management believes could be readily liquidated if necessary to fund any immediate liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2022, we had $424.5 million of mortgage and other debt against a portfolio of real estate assets with a net book value of $1.1 billion. We also have an effective shelf registration statement with approximately $100 million of capacity pursuant to which we could issue additional equity or debt securities, and during six months ended June 30, 2022, we raised $98.4 million of equity capital from our At-the-Market Equity Offering Program (the “ATM Program”). Notes and Interest Receivable Notes receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balance and include unamortized direct origination costs, prepaid interest and accrued interest through the reporting date, less any allowance for losses and unearned borrower paid points. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of issuance and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had four and five notes outstanding, respectively, under the Company’s loan program (the “FPI Loan Program”) and have designated each of the notes receivable as loans. Loans are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity computed under the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Such amortization, including interest, is included in other revenue within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note 6—Notes Receivable.” Convertible Notes Receivable On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into property sale and long-term management agreements with Promised Land Opportunity Zone Farms I, LLC (the "OZ Fund"), a private investment fund focused on acquiring and improving farmland in qualified opportunity zones in the United States, as designated under U.S. tax provisions enacted in 2017. On March 5, 2021, the Company sold nine farms to the OZ Fund. On March 31, 2021, the Company sold an additional property to the OZ Fund. As consideration for the 10 farms sold to the OZ Fund, the Company received approximately $19.1 million in cash and approximately $2.4 million in convertible notes receivable (the “OZ Convertible Notes”), resulting in a gain on disposition of assets totaling $2.4 million. The OZ Convertible Notes had an interest rate of 1.35% and an aggregate principal balance of $2.4 million. On July 16, 2021, the Company provided notice to the OZ Fund that it was converting its OZ Convertible Notes, and accrued interest thereon, into membership interests in the OZ Fund, in accordance with the terms of the OZ Convertible Notes. The value of the conversion was $2.4 million and the Company’s membership interests in the OZ Fund were approximately 7.6% upon conversion and increased to 9.97% as of June 30, 2022 after subsequent capital contributions. Please refer to “Note 4—Related Party Transactions.” Allowance for Notes and Interest Receivable A note is placed on non-accrual status when management determines, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the note is impaired or collection of interest is doubtful. The accrual of interest on the instrument ceases when there is concern that principal or interest due according to the note agreement will not be collected. Any payment received on such non-accrual notes are recorded as interest income when the payment is received. The note is reclassified as accrual-basis once interest and principal payments become current. The Company periodically reviews the value of the underlying collateral of farm real estate for the note receivable and evaluates whether the value of the collateral continues to provide adequate security for the note. Should the value of the underlying collateral become less than the outstanding principal and interest, the Company will determine whether an allowance is necessary. Any uncollectible interest previously accrued is also charged off. As of June 30, 2022, we believe the value of the underlying collateral for each of the notes to be sufficient and in excess of the respective outstanding principal and accrued interest and no notes are currently on non-accrual status. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts, reducing the receivables balance to an amount that it estimates is collectible from our customers. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, current trends, aging of accounts receivable and periodic credit evaluations of the Company’s customers’ financial condition. The Company creates an allowance for accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that an amount may not be collectible, such that all current expected losses are sufficiently reserved for at each reporting period. The Company considered its current expectations of future economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, when estimating its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction to rental revenue if in relation to revenues recognized in the year, or as property operating expenses if in relation to revenue recognized in the prior years. Inventory The costs of growing crops on farms under direct operations are accumulated until the time of harvest at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are included in inventory in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs are allocated to growing crops based on a percentage of the total costs of production and total operating costs that are attributable to the portion of the crops that remain in inventory at the end of the period. The costs of growing crops incurred by FPI Agribusiness consist primarily of costs related to land preparation, cultivation, irrigation and fertilization. Growing crop inventory is charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold and is included in other operating expenses. The cost of harvested crop sold was $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the cost of harvested crop sold was $2.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Harvested crop inventory on farms under direct operations includes costs accumulated both during the growing and harvesting phases and are stated at the lower of those costs or the estimated net realizable value, which is the market price, based upon the nearest market in the geographic region, less any cost of disposition. Cost of disposition includes broker’s commissions, freight and other marketing costs. General inventory, such as fertilizer, seeds and pesticides, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, inventory consisted of the following: (in thousands) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Harvested crop $ — $ 164 Growing crop 2,962 2,895 $ 2,962 $ 3,059 Equity Method Investments As partial consideration for certain transactions with the OZ Fund, the Company received the OZ Convertible Notes, which on July 16, 2021, were converted into a 7.6% equity interest upon conversion and increased to 9.97% as of June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate balance of the Company’s equity method investment in the OZ Fund was approximately $4.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, including aggregate capital contributions of $1.7 million and $1.0 million through June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The OZ Fund will exist until an event of dissolution occurs, as defined in the limited liability company agreement of the OZ Fund (the “Fund Agreement”). Under the Fund Agreement, the Manager of the OZ Fund may call for additional capital contributions from its members to fund expenses, property acquisitions and capital improvements in accordance with each members’ funding ratio. The Company’s capital contributions are capped at $20.0 million. Under the Fund Agreement, any available cash, after the allowance for the payment of all obligations, operating expenses and capital improvements, is distributed to the members at least annually. For each fiscal year, net income or loss is allocated to the members pro rata in accordance with their percentage interest. Business Combinations The Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values as of date of acquisition, with any difference recorded as goodwill. Management engages an independent valuation specialist, as applicable, to assist with the determination of fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, the Company will record any measurement period adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the acquisition date. An adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period of the adjustment. Acquisition and due diligence costs that arise as a result of a business combination are expensed as incurred. On November 15, 2021, we acquired 100% of the membership interests of Murray Wise Associates, LLC (“MWA”), an agricultural asset management, brokerage and auction company, for total transaction value of $8.1 million, comprised of $5.3 million of consideration paid at closing, net of $2.8 million of closing adjustments. The consideration paid at closing was comprised of $2.2 million in cash and $3.1 million in shares of our common stock. The primary reason for the acquisition was to increase the Company’s breadth of activities in the farmland sector, while adding additional sources of revenue and market insight. As a result of the acquisition, MWA became a wholly owned subsidiary of the TRS. The Company issued an aggregate of 248,734 shares of common stock at a price of $12.61 per share in connection with the closing of the acquisition. The Company has entered into an incentive compensation agreement providing for the issuance of up to $3.0 million in shares of common stock for the benefit of current and prospective MWA employees aside from Murray Wise, who was appointed to our Board of Directors in connection with the closing of the acquisition, the receipt of which is tied to achieving certain profitability and asset-under-management objectives within three years following the closing of the transaction. Stock-based incentive expense related to these awards will be recognized ratably over the same three The Company recorded goodwill of $2.7 million, trade names and trademarks of $1.9 million, and customer relationships of $0.1 million, as part of the purchase of MWA. Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase consideration and the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets. The factors giving rise to goodwill are primarily related to (a) entry into new lines of business which are complimentary to FPI’s existing business operations, and (b) acquired workforce-in-place, including Murray Wise, who has extensive experience in the industry, and became a member of our Board of Directors in connection with the closing of the transaction, as described above. The following table presents a summary of the Company's purchase accounting entries: ($ in thousands) MWA Purchase Consideration: Accounting Cash consideration $ 2,161 Stock consideration 3,147 Total consideration $ 5,308 Amounts recognized for fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,305 Fixed Assets 110 Goodwill 2,706 Intangible assets 1,915 Net Liabilities (728) Total Fair Value $ 5,308 Net cash used in the transaction: Cash paid in transaction $ (2,161) Cash acquired in transaction 1,305 Net cash used in the transaction $ (856) Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below its carrying value. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The fair value is calculated using the expected present value of future cash flows method. Significant assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts include future net operating margins, discount rates and future capital requirements. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, the excess of the book value over the fair value of goodwill is charged to net income as an impairment expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company did not incur any impairment charges related to goodwill. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives is calculated using the straight-line method, which is reflective of the benefit pattern in which the estimated economic benefit is expected to be received over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Trade names and trademarks have an indefinite life and, therefore, are not subject to amortization. Customer relationships are subject to amortization and are amortized over a period of 12 years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded amortization of customer relationships of less than $0.1 million for each period. Fair Value The Company is required to disclose fair value as further explained in “Note 6—Notes Receivable”, “Note 7—Mortgage Notes, Lines of Credit and Bonds Payable” and “Note 10—Hedge Accounting”. FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is 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 to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 —Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. ● Level 3 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement. Hedge Accounting ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the reporting period. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, by managing the amount, sources, duration and interest rate exposure of its funding. The Company may also use interest rate derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate swaps. The Company may enter into marketing contracts to sell commodities. Derivatives and hedge accounting guidance requires a company to evaluate these contracts to determine whether the contracts are derivatives. Certain contracts that meet the definition of a derivative may be exempt from derivative accounting if designated as normal purchase or normal sales. The Company evaluates all contracts at inception to determine if they are derivatives and if they meet the normal purchase and normal sale designation requirements. The Company has in place one interest rate swap agreement with Rabobank to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. This agreement qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is actively evaluated for ongoing effectiveness (see “Note 10—Hedge Accounting”). The entire change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company assesses whether the derivative used in its hedging transaction is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it is determined that a derivative has ceased to be or is not expected to be highly effective as a hedge, and then reflects changes in fair value of the derivative in earnings after termination of the hedge relationship. New or Revised Accounting Standards Recently adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), that provided practical expedients to address existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting due to the expected market transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates (together “IBORs”) to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. We refer to this transition as “reference rate reform.” The first practical expedient allows companies to elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to debt, derivative and lease contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These criteria include the following: (i) the contract referenced an IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; (ii) the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace the IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; and (iii) any contemporaneous changes to other terms that chang |
