Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019 , have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, on a basis consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019, and the results of its consolidated operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The consolidated financial statements herein are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and the accounts of the OP, Hartman Village Pointe, LLC, Hartman Richardson Tech Center, LLC, Hartman Spectrum, LLC, Hartman 11211, LLC and XXI Holdings, the subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of demand deposits at commercial banks. Restricted Cash Restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of amounts escrowed for future real estate taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and debt service, as required by certain of our mortgage debt agreements. Financial Instruments The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accrued rent and accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, net and balances with related parties. The Company considers the carrying value, other than notes payable, net, to approximate the fair value of these financial instruments based on the short duration between origination of the instruments and their expected realization. Based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of its notes payable approximates fair value. Revenue Recognition The Company’s leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or for increases or decreases in the minimum lease payments over the terms of the leases. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Revenue recognition under a lease begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. The Company’s accrued rents are included in accrued rent and accounts receivable, net, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company will defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Additionally, cost recoveries from tenants are included in the Tenant Reimbursement and Other Revenues line item in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the related costs are incurred. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," (“ASU 2014-09”) which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from leasing activities, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09. The Company’s other revenue is comprised of tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and operating expenses. Reimbursements from real estate taxes and certain other expenses are also excluded from of ASU 2014-09. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities On April 11, 2017, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Hartman XX Operating Partnership (“XX OP”), the operating partnership of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc., a related party, pursuant to which the Company may acquire up to $10,000,000 of XX OP’s equity ownership in Hartman Three Forest Plaza LLC. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned an approximately 48.8% equity interest in Hartman Three Forest Plaza LLC for $8,700,000. The Company’s investment in Hartman Three Forest Plaza LLC was accounted for under the equity method. On October 1, 2018, Hartman Three Forest Plaza LLC contributed the Three Forest Plaza property to Hartman SPE, LLC, a special purpose entity formed for the purpose of refinancing certain indebtedness of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc., Hartman Short Term Income Properties XIX, Inc. and Hartman Income REIT, Inc. The Company received a 5.89% membership interest in Hartman SPE, LLC in exchange for its 48.8% minority interest in Three Forest Plaza LLC. Effective March 1, 2019, the Company's board of directors approved the exchange of 3.42% of the Company's 5.89% ownership interest in Hartman SPE, LLC for 700,302 shares of common stock of Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. The exchange reduced the Company’s ownership interest in Hartman SPE, LLC from 5.89% to 2.47%. The Company's investment in Hartman SPE, LLC and Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. is stated at cost and accounted for under the cost method. Real Estate Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets Acquisitions of integrated assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. The Company believes most of its future acquisitions of operating properties will qualify as asset acquisitions. Third party transaction costs, including acquisition fees paid to Advisor, associated with asset acquisitions will be capitalized while internal acquisition costs will continue to be expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the purchase price of properties is allocated to the tangible assets acquired, consisting of land and buildings, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and leasehold improvements and value of tenant relationships, any assumed debt and asset retirement obligations, if any, based on their fair values. Acquisition costs, including acquisition fees paid to the Advisor, are capitalized as part of the purchase price. Initial valuations are subject to change during the measurement period, but the measurement period ends as soon as the information is available. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Land and building and improvement fair values are derived based upon the Company’s estimate of fair value after giving effect to estimated replacement cost less depreciation or estimates of the relative fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analysis or similar methods. The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values, including below-market renewal options for which renewal has been determined to be reasonably assured, are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases and below-market renewal options, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease and renewal option values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the remaining expected terms of the respective leases. The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These intangibles are included in real estate assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. The Company determines the fair value of any assumed debt by calculating the net present value of the scheduled mortgage payments using interest rates for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities that the Company believes it could obtain at the date of acquisition. Any difference between the fair value and stated value of the assumed debt is recorded as a discount or premium and amortized over the remaining life of the loan as interest expense. In allocating the purchase price of each of the Company’s properties, the Company makes assumptions and uses various estimates, including, but not limited to, the estimated useful lives of the assets, the cost of replacing certain assets and discount rates used to determine present values. The Company uses Level 3 inputs to value acquired properties. Many of these estimates are obtained from independent third-party appraisals. However, the Company is responsible for the source and use of these estimates. These estimates require judgment and are subject to being imprecise; accordingly, if different estimates and assumptions were derived, the valuation of the various categories of the Company’s properties or related intangibles could in turn result in a difference in the depreciation or amortization expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These variances could be material to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Depreciation and amortization Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years for buildings and improvements. Tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease. In-place leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the weighted average years’ remaining calculated on terms of all of the leases in-place when acquired. Impairment The Company reviews its real estate assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. The Company determines whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Management has determined that there is no impairment indicated in the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets as of September 30, 2019. Projections of expected future cash flows require management to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flow and fair value and could result in the overstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income. Fair Value Measurement Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets. Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques: Market Approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Cost Approach: Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Income Approach: Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models). The Company’s estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable Included in accrued rent and accounts receivable are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rent and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. Prepaid expenses and other assets Prepaid expenses and other assets include acquisition deposits, which is the money that the Company advances to the seller on a purchase of a property. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had acquisition deposits of $743,250 and $110,000 which are included as part of prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Organization and Offering Costs As of September 30, 2019, total organization and offering costs incurred for the Offering amounted to $1,377,522. The total organizational and offering costs incurred by the Company (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees and all other underwriting compensation) will not exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock sold in the Offering. Organization costs, when recorded by the Company, are expensed as incurred, and offering costs, which include selling commissions, dealer manager fees and all other underwriting compensation, are deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts are reimbursed or paid by the Advisor, the dealer manager or their affiliates from gross offering proceeds. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, such costs totaled $116,428 and $29,700, and $183,119 and $110,428, respectively. Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing in the taxable year ended December 31, 2017. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its stockholders, so long as it distributes at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. Prior to qualifying to be taxed as a REIT, the Company is subject to normal federal and state corporation income taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had net loss of $539,544 and $592,719, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,447,359 and $959,054, respectively. The Company does not anticipate forming any taxable REIT subsidiaries or otherwise generating future taxable income which may be offset by the net loss carry forward. The Company considers that any deferred tax benefit and corresponding deferred tax asset which may be recorded in light of the net loss carry forward would be properly offset by an equal valuation allowance in that no future taxable income is expected. Accordingly, no deferred tax benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position only if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and is of the opinion that material positions taken by the Company would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a liability related to uncertain tax positions. Loss Per Share The computations of loss per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include special limited partnership interests – see Note 11. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no shares issuable in connection with these potentially dilutive securities. These potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 because no shares are issuable. Concentration of Risk The Company maintains cash accounts in one U.S. financial institution. The terms of the Company’s deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The balances of the Company’s depository accounts may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been incurred in connection with these deposits. The geographic concentration of the Company’s real estate assets makes it susceptible to adverse economic developments in the State of Texas. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, relocations of businesses, increased competition or any other changes, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders. Major tenants are defined as those tenants which individually comprise more than 10% of the Company’s total rental revenues. One tenant of the Spectrum Building represents 39% of total annualized rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There were no major tenants for the same period ended September 30, 2018. Reclassification Certain items in the comparative consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period. Restricted cash reporting line was added on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The balance currently reported as restricted cash was reported previously in the prepaid expenses and other assets. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). 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 of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis 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 their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. In connection with the new revenue guidance (ASC 606), the new revenue standard will apply to other components of revenue deemed to be non-lease components, such as reimbursement for certain expenses which are based on usage. Under the new guidance, we will continue to recognize the lease components of lease revenue on a straight-line basis over our respective lease terms as we do under prior guidance. However, we would recognize these non-lease components under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, the total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance. This does not result in a difference from how the Company has historically recognized revenue for these lease and non-lease components. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 requires that lessees and lessors capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. Under ASU 2016-02, allocated payroll costs and other costs that are incurred regardless of whether the lease is obtained will no longer be capitalized as initial direct costs and instead will be expensed as incurred. This does not result in a difference from how the Company has historically recognized lease acquisition costs. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07, "Improvements to Non-employee Stock-Based Payment Accounting." The updated guidance simplifies aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with the accounting for employee share-based compensation. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 - “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASC 606 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Certain contracts with customers, principally lease contracts, are not within the scope of the new guidance. The Company has elected to use the retrospective method. The adoption of ASC 606 - had no material impact on the beginning cumulative accumulated distributions and net loss at January 1, 2018. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which enhances the reporting requirements surrounding the measurement of financial instruments and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income for the period. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 had no material effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-17, “Interest Held Through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control,” issued by the FASB, which amends the accounting guidance when determining the treatment of certain VIE’s to include the interest of related parties under common control in a VIE when considering whether or not the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of the VIE when considering consolidation. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-17 had no material effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, “Classification of Restricted Cash,” issued by the FASB, which addresses the Statement of Cash Flow classification and presentation of restricted cash transactions. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has elected to use the retrospective method. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 had no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The updated guidance requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This is different from the current guidance as this will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements when adopted. |
