NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“TREHC”) previously established an Operating Partnership (“Talon OP”) and transferred all of its assets and liabilities to the operating partnership in exchange for general partnership units. As the sole general partner of Talon OP we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business and affairs for the operating partnership. TREHC owned approximately 65% of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Operating Partnership owned 100% of 5130 Industrial Street, LLC, 100% of Talon Bren Road, LLC, 100% of Talon First Trust, LLC, and 100% of Talon RE as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Talon Bren Road, LLC, and Talon First Trust, LLC, are both limited liability companies organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, and were formed on May 9, 2014 and April 21, 2014, respectively, to purchase real estate. Talon Real Estate, LLC (“Talon RE”) was incorporated in the state of Minnesota on December 20, 2012 and began operations in 2013 for the purpose of acquiring real estate properties. Talon RE merged with Guide Holdings, Inc. in which Guide Holdings, Inc. was the surviving entity and was renamed Talon Real Estate Holding Corp.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”).

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TREHC and its interest in the Operating Partnership. The limited partners in the Operating Partnership have a redemption option that they may exercise. Upon exercise of the redemption option by the limited partners, the Company has the choice of redeeming the limited partners' interests ("Units") for TREHC common shares of stock on a one-for-one basis, or making a cash payment to the unit holder. The redemption generally may be exercised by the limited partners at any time after the first anniversary of the date of the acquisition of the Units subject to volume restrictions.

 

NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES AND ENTITIES

 

The Company owns, through its subsidiary Talon First Trust, LLC, real estate property located at 180 East 5th Street, St. Paul, MN. The building has 656,875 net rentable square feet and is primarily leased to tenants for commercial and government use. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had tenants occupying approximately 60% of the rentable space. In April 2015, the Company executed a lease for a significant new tenant that would increase the occupancy by over 21% in the St. Paul building upon commencement of the lease. The lease was amended on January 27, 2017 to resolve certain disputes between the Company and the tenant and as amended, the lease is scheduled to commence on January 1, 2018. On March 7, 2017 one tenant that occupies approximately 16% of the net rentable square feet filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors. In June of 2018, this asset was sold to First Capital Reit (Note 12).

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to use estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

We evaluate the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. In determining whether we have a controlling interest in an affiliate and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, contractual and substantive participating rights of the limited partners and shareholders, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“TREHC”) and Talon OP, our Operating Partnership, and all subsidiaries in which it maintains a controlling interest. Talon OP also consolidates 5130 LLC, an entity in which it has a 49% ownership interest, based on its ability to control the operating and financial decisions of 5130 LLC. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Restricted Escrows and Reserves

 

The Company is required to hold cash in restricted escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes and a replacement reserve. The escrows are used to pay periodic charges of real estate taxes and assessments, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions. The balances in the escrow accounts were $13,995,393 and $3,001,232 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Rents and Other Receivables

 

Rents receivable and deferred rent are recorded at their estimated net realizable value. The Company follows a policy of providing an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. The Company does not require collateral and accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with our credit terms. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off. Receivables have been reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $129,330 as of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related lease agreement, inclusive of leases which provide for scheduled rent increases or rent concessions. Differences between rent income earned and base rent amounts due per the respective lease agreements are credited or charged to deferred rent revenue or deferred rent receivable as applicable. When the Company enters into lease modifications or extensions with current tenants, the deferred rent at the time of the extension is amortized over the remaining term of the lease, and the revised terms are considered a new lease.

 

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses are billed monthly based on current year estimated operating costs for applicable expenses. An additional billing or a refund is made to tenants in the following year after actual operating expenses are determined.

 

Deferred Leasing Costs and Tenant Allowance

 

Direct and indirect costs, including estimated internal costs and leasing commissions, associated with the leasing of real estate investments owned by the Company are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as amortization expense. Unamortized costs are charged to expense upon the early termination of the lease. Costs associated with unsuccessful leasing opportunities are expensed.

 

In leasing tenant space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for a tenant allowance, the Company determines whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluates the ownership, for accounting purposes, of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the leasehold improvements for accounting purposes, the Company capitalizes the amount of the tenant allowance as building improvements and depreciates it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the related lease term. For tenant allowances committed at lease inception and recorded as building improvements but not yet performed or completed, the corresponding liability will be recorded as tenant improvement allowance payables. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, for accounting purposes, the tenant allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is capitalized as a deferred leasing cost and is amortized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

 

The Company had amortization expense for tenant improvements of $259,782 and $269,475 for the three-months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had amortization expense for leasing costs of $76,926 and $73,622 for the three-months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had accumulated amortization for tenant allowances of $3,140,513 as of March 31, 2017 and $2,880,732 as of December 31, 2016.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are netted against notes payable and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the financing term and are included in interest expense. The Company had amortization expense of $923,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $204,752 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Included in amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $137,254 due to the refinancing of debt secured by the 180 East 5th Street property owned by Talon First Trust, LLC.

 

Real Estate Property and Fixed Assets

 

Investment in real estate and fixed assets with a useful life of longer than one year are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property such as land, building and improvements includes cost of acquisitions, development, and construction and tenant allowances and improvements. We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible assets (including land, buildings and personal property) determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values. Acquisitions of real estate are recorded based upon preliminary allocations of the purchase price to management’s assessment of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and any assumed liabilities acquired which are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained up to one year after the date of acquisition. Management’s fair value assessment includes the use of readily accepted fair value techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis and comparable sales analysis including management’s reliance on independent market analysis.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets for furniture and equipment, buildings and land improvements, and the term of the lease for tenant improvements. The estimated useful lives being used are as follows:

 

Land Improvements 3-15 years
Buildings 25-30 years
Building Improvements 10-20 years
Tenant Improvements 1-12 years
Furniture and Equipment 3 years

 

Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas expenditures that improve or extend the service lives of assets are capitalized. Disposal and abandonment of improvements are recognized at occurrence as a charge to depreciation.

 

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

 

Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible assets and any significant intangible assets and liabilities (such as above- and below-market leases and value of acquired in-place leases), and any assumed liabilities, and allocates the purchase price based on these fair value assessments. The Company records intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair value apart from goodwill for acquisitions of real estate. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets and liabilities based on the period over which the assets and liabilities are expected to affect the future cash flows of the real estate property acquired. Lease intangibles (such as in-place or above- and below-market leases) are amortized over the term of the related lease. Above and below-market leases are amortized as a reduction in (addition to) rent revenue. The Company amortized $45,220 as a net reduction in rent revenue for above and below-market leases for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and $48,267 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Amortization of other intangibles is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as real estate property, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the estimated future cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the asset are less than the carrying amount of that asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for either of the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10-30 which results in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company's policy of accounting for uncertain tax positions is to recognize the tax effects from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized, upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company has examined the tax positions taken in its tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, the Company has recorded no uncertain tax liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet.

 

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2013. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. In the event of any future tax assessments, the Company has elected to record the income tax penalties as general and administrative expense and any related interest as interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company has granted restricted stock to employees under an approved employee equity incentive plan and to Directors under a director compensation plan. Granted shares are considered issued and outstanding as of the date of the grants. Stock-based compensation is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is valued at the fair value on the date of the grant. The Company has recognized $55,740 and $38,285 of compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

The Company may also issue common stock in exchange for goods or services of non-employees. These shares are either fully vested at date of grant or vest over a certain period during which services are provided. The Company expenses the fair market value of the services over the period in which they are received.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

Interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners are represented by partnership common units of the Operating Partnership. The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 67% and 65% of the common units of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of units based upon the ratio of their holdings to the total units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, syndication costs, and profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership agreement.

 

The portion of membership interests in 5130 LLC not held by Talon OP were reported as non-controlling interest. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to the non-controlling interest based on membership percentages and terms of the operating agreement.

 

Net Income (Loss) or Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common and potential dilutive common shares outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

 

Given that the Company has incurred operating losses for all periods presented, diluted earnings per share is not presented. The weighted average outstanding shares used in the basic earnings per share computation is 18,945,481 and 16,788,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will eliminate all industry-specific guidance and replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on the topic. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Lease contracts are specifically excluded from the new accounting guidance.  This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.   The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.  The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update.  The Company adopted the amendments in this update effective January 1, 2016. Adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-15—Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for eight specific cash flow issues with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The effective date for ASU 2016-15 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the ASU had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40).  The amendments in this Update provide guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The Company has adopted this amendment in this update effective for the current fiscal year. (see Note 13).

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 modifies the accounting for share-

based payment awards, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The effective date for ASU 2016-09 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

 

During February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases.” ASU No. 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing all lease transactions (with terms in excess of 12 months) on the balance sheet as a lease liability and a right-of-use asset (as defined). ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application permitted. Upon adoption, the lessee will apply the new standard retrospectively to all periods presented or retrospectively using a cumulative effect adjustment in the year of adoption. The adoption of this Standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 – “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations.” The amendments of this standard are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The effective date for ASU 2016-08 is the same as the effective date for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14. Adoption of this Standard did not have a material impact on The Company’s financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 – “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendment is intended to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The effective date for ASU 2017-01 is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2018 and the guidance resulted in acquisitions of operating properties being accounted for as asset acquisitions instead of business combinations. The adoption of this guidance changed the Company’s accounting for the transaction costs for acquisitions of operating properties such that transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the acquisition instead of being expensed as acquisition-related expenses. The ASU is required to be applied prospectively.

Included in the above table are base lease payments due beginning January 1, 2018 totaling $15,832,430 for a significant tenant that has not occupied space yet but for which we have an executed lease agreement.

 

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Note Payable, Related Party

 

During August 2014, the Company entered a two-year unsecured note payable with Curtis Marks, a former director, which matured on June 30, 2016. The note bore interest at an annual rate of 14% through November 2015, 20% through June 2016 and 26% thereafter under default provisions until the principal is repaid.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (continued)

 

In April 2017, the Company defaulted on the March 2007 mortgage notes (Note 5). In December 2018, the lender foreclosed and conducted a sheriff’s sale on properties operated by 5130 Industrial Street, LLC, which secured the mortgage notes. Pursuant to Minnesota law, a property foreclosed upon in this manner is subject to a six (6) month redemption. The Company is currently under contract to sell the property located at 1350 Budd Ave, Maple Plain, MN for $1,400,000. The Company is engaged in refinancing the second property, but as of the date of this report has been unable to do so. Failure to sell the properties or refinance the mortgage notes could result in an acceleration of actions by the lender to foreclose on the properties.

 

During June 2017, the Company entered into a transaction that included a Promissory Note Secured by a Mortgage and Collateral Security Agreement with MCREIF SubREIT LLC, in the principal amount of $15,127,000. The Note bears interest at a rate equal to 9.5% per annum and had an initial maturity date of June 1, 2018. The Note is subject to a balloon payment upon maturity in the amount of $15,246,755, which is comprised of the unpaid principal balance and unpaid interest of $119,755. The loan is guaranteed personally by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

During November 2018, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with MCREIF through February 1, 2019. Under the Forbearance Agreement the interest rate was increased to 16% per annum and the balance due on the note was increased to $16,218,000 for unpaid principal, interest and default penalties.

 

During January 2019, the Company and MCREIF agreed to extend the maturity of the June 2017 promissory note to July 31, 2019, reduce the interest rate to 9.50% per annum, and increase the balance due under the note to $16,689,000 for unpaid principal, interest and default penalties. As of the date of this filing, the note is in good standing.

 

During June 2017, the Company entered into a $500,000 secured promissory note payable with MCC, LLC. The note had an interest rate of 4.50% per annum, required monthly principal and interest payments of $10,000 with the unpaid principal and interest balance due at maturity on July 1, 2018.

 

During September 2018, the unpaid principal and interest under the note was refinanced under a $651,800 secured promissory note with MCC. The note has an interest rate of 10% per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments of $5,430 with the unpaid principal and interest balance due at maturity on August 1, 2019. As of the date of this filing, the note is in good standing.

 

The following table details the allocation of proceeds from the June 2017 MCREIF and MCC notes payable:

 

May 2014 note payoff (Note 5)  $10,720,058 
October 2016 note payoff (Note 5)   81,800 
January 2017 Quick Liquidity notes payoff (Note 5)   3,475,220

The agreements required payments totaling $720,000 over 120 days and are guaranteed by the Company's CEO. As of the date of this report the agreements are past due and have an outstanding balance of approximately $200,000.

 

In August 2018, Talon OP, L.P., which is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business, entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Antigua Contribution Agreement”) with FCREIT, through FCROP, its operating partnership, for the acquisition of the FCROP’s interests in and to Goat Head Hill and Dutchman’s Bay, Island of Antigua (the “Antigua Project”), including, without limitation, that certain Memorandum of Agreement dated July 28, 2015 between Brown McLennon, the FCROP and the government of Antigua and Barbuda regarding the development of hotels on the properties known as Dutchman’s Bay and Goat Head Hill on Antigua and the FCROP’s 100% ownership interest in Goat Head Hill Resort Development Ltd and Dutchman’s Bay, an Antigua and Barbuda Corporation. Pursuant to the Antigua Contribution Agreement, the FCROP agreed to transfer all of its interests in the Antigua Project to Talon OP, L.P. In consideration for such transfer Talon OP, L.P., will issue to FCROP $30 million in units of its limited partnership interests (“LP Units”), or 12,000,000 LP Units based on a valuation of $2.50 per LP Unit. The LP Units will be payable in three installments over a two-year period with 4,000,000 due at closing and 4,000,000 due one and two years from the closing date.

NOTE 13 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred losses of $2,815,977 and $2,029,639, respectively, and as of March 31, 2017 had a total shareholders’ deficit of $10,855,112. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the additional capital to meet short and long-term operating requirements. Management is continuing to pursue external Financing alternatives to improve the Company's working capital position however additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.

 

Overview

 

Talon Real Estate Holding Corp is a publicly traded real estate corporation that invests primarily in single and multi-tenant office, industrial, hospitality and retail properties within the Midwest and South Central regions of the United States.  It currently owns eleven properties. Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN and founded in June 2013, Talon’s primary objective is to provide shareholders with attractive returns from investments in real estate through dividend distribution and growth.

 

On June 7, 2013, we acquired a 49% interest in an entity that owns an industrial complex consisting of two buildings with approximately 171,639 square feet located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The buildings currently have a combined occupancy of 85%. We entered into a contribution agreement to acquire the remaining interest in this entity which closed at the end of 2018. In March of 2019 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell this asset.

 

In 2014, we completed two acquisitions totaling approximately $58 Million and over one million in gross building square feet. On May 29, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a 227,000 square foot building situated on 20 acres of land in Minnetonka, MN that was 100% leased by over 100 tenants who are wholesale distributors.  This property contributes to our core stable income investment strategy. On July 2, 2014, we completed the acquisition of a thirteen-story office tower located in downtown St. Paul, MN totaling 856,223 total building square feet that was 62% occupied by corporate and government tenants at time of acquisition and is currently 60% occupied. Management acquired the St. Paul property for its attractive value-add and growth potential. In April 2015, the Company executed a lease for a significant new tenant that would increase the occupancy by over 21% in the St. Paul building upon commencement of the lease. On January 27, 2017 we executed a second amendment to the lease which amended the original lease to a seven-year term with a commencement date of January 1, 2018. We exchanged this asset for Operating Units of First Capital Reit in June of 2018.

 

On August 31, 2018, Talon OP, L.P. (Talon-OP), which is the entity through which Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“Talon”) conducts substantially all of its business, entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Antigua Contribution Agreement”) with First Capital Real Estate Trust, Incorporated (“Contributor”), through First Capital Real Estate Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “FC-OP”), its operating partnership, for the acquisition of the FC-OP’s interests in and to Goat Head Hill and Dutchman’s Bay, Island of Antigua (the “Antigua Project”), including, without limitation, that certain Memorandum of Agreement dated July 28, 2015 between Brown McLennon, the FC-OP and the government of Antigua and Barbuda regarding the development of hotels on the properties known as Dutchman’s Bay and Goat Head Hill on Antigua and the FC-OP’s 100% ownership interest in Goat Head Hill Resort Development Ltd and Dutchman’s Bay, an Antigua and Barbuda Corporation.

 

Pursuant to the Antigua Contribution Agreement, the FC-OP agreed to transfer all of its interests in the Antigua Project to Talon-OP. In consideration for such transfer Talon-OP will issue to the FC-OP $30.0 million in units of its limited partnership interests (“LP Units”), or 12,000,000 LP Units based on a valuation of $2.50 per LP Unit. The LP Units will be payable in three installments over a two year period. The FC-OP has agreed to sign such documents at the Closing as are necessary in connection with its admission as a limited partner of the Company. This transaction closed in November 2018.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results

 

Acquisition Strategy. We plan to grow our business through the acquisition of new properties, initially targeting properties that meet the criteria described above under “Overview” and elsewhere in this report. We expect the properties we acquire will be subject to mortgage financing and other indebtedness that we will assume or refinance. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any distributions with respect to our common stock.

 

Rental Revenue. The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties depends primarily on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease space that becomes available. As of March 31, 2017, our properties were 91% leased. We believe that the average rental rates for our properties are generally equal to the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors such as a decrease in rental rates or a decrease in demand for our properties could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns affecting the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area or downturns in our tenants’ businesses that impair our ability to renew leases or re-let space or the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments could adversely affect our revenues. In addition, growth in rental revenue primarily will depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

 

Conditions in Our Markets. Our current properties are located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in this area, or areas in our prospective proprieties, including employment and wage rates, natural disasters and other factors, may impact our overall performance. Our ability to grow in our broader market throughout our region may also be impacted by these factors.

 

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses primarily consist of property taxes, management fees, utilities, insurance and site maintenance costs. As of March 31, 2017, some of our leases required tenants to reimburse us for a share of our operating expenses. Increases or decreases in any unreimbursed operating expenses, either due to the nature of the expenses not requiring reimbursement from our tenants or due to a reduction in leased square footage requiring tenant reimbursement of a portion of our operating expenses, will impact our overall performance. Legal fees incurred in 2017 and 2016 were significant due to the Company’s acquisition and refinancing activities, as well as litigation expenses. We expect an increase in legal fees associated with these activities and business matters customary to a public real estate holding company, as well as our ongoing litigation.

 

Interest Expense. Our interest expense will depend on the amounts we borrow as well as the interest rates charged by our lenders. Our current loan agreements are a mix of both fixed and floating rates, as well as secured and unsecured by our properties. Our aggregate interest expense may increase as we acquire properties and could fluctuate between periods based on the variable rate loan arrangements, if we do not hedge any such interest rate risk.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of the historical financial condition and results of our operations are based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or US GAAP.

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the reporting period. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. We have provided a summary of our significant accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of our company elsewhere in this report. We have summarized below those accounting policies that require material subjective or complex judgments and that have the most significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date hereof. Other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies. There have been no significant changes to those policies during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Investment in Real Estate and Fixed Assets

 

Investment in real estate and fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property such as land, building and improvements includes cost of acquisitions, development, construction, and tenant improvement allowances. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and major improvements are capitalized. We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible asset and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market economic conditions.

 

We allocate the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liability, to the acquired tangible assets (including land, buildings and personal property) determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and identifiable intangibles based on their relative fair values. Acquisitions of real estate are recorded based upon preliminary allocations of the purchase price to management’s assessment of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets and any assumed liabilities acquired which are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained up to one year after the date of acquisition. Adjustments to preliminary allocations of purchase price are adjusted prospectively when all information necessary to determine the relative fair values has been received.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets for building, improvements, and furniture and equipment, and the term of the lease for tenant improvements. The estimated useful lives being used are as follows:

 

Land Improvements 3-15 years
Building 25-30 years
Building Improvements 10-20 years
Tenant Improvements 1-12 years
Furniture and Equipment 3 years

 Table of Contents

Intangible Assets

 

Upon acquisitions of real estate, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible assets and any significant intangible assets (such as above- and below-market leases and value of acquired in-place leases), and any assumed liabilities, and allocates the purchase price based on these fair value assessments. The Company amortizes identified intangible assets and liabilities based on the period over which the assets and liabilities are expected to affect the future cash flows of the real estate property acquired. Lease intangibles (such as in-place or above- and below-market leases) are amortized over the term of the related lease. Above and below-market leases are amortized as a reduction in (addition to) rent revenue. Amortization of other intangibles is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

In determining whether we have a controlling interest in an affiliate and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, contractual and substantive participating rights of the limited partners and shareholders, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. (“TREHC”) and Talon OP, our Operating Partnership. Talon OP also consolidates 5130 LLC, an entity in which it has a 100% ownership interest as of December 2018, based on its ability to control the operating and financial decisions of 5130 LLC. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Non-controlling Interest

 

Interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners are represented by Operating Partnership units. The Company's interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 67% and 65% of the common units of the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Operating Partnership’s income is allocated to holders of common units based upon the ratio of their holdings to the total units outstanding during the period. Holders of preferred units receive certain distributions based on a percentage of the liquidation preference. Capital contributions, distributions, syndication costs, and profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership agreement.

 

The portion of membership interests in 5130 LLC not held by Talon OP is reported as non-controlling interest. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to the non-controlling interest based on membership percentages and terms of the operating agreement. This percentage was be consolidated in December 2018.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases, inclusive of leases which provide for scheduled rent increases or rent concessions. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due according to the respective lease agreements are credited or charged to deferred rent receivable, as applicable.

 

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenses are incurred. Recoveries are billed monthly using estimated operating costs and an additional billing or a refund is made to tenants in the following year after actual operating expenses are determined.

Accounting Standards Applicable to Emerging Growth Companies

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with these new or revised accounting standards. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates. If we were to elect to comply with these public company effective dates, such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Significant Events and Transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2017

 

Summarized below are the Company’s significant transactions and events during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

On January 27, 2017, Talon First Trust, LLC entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Gamma Loan”) with Gamma Real Estate Capital LLC (the “Lender”), a Delaware limited liability company, in the principal amount of $51,600,000. The loan bears an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, and (y) the LIBOR Floor, plus (ii) a margin of 9.00% per annum, and has an initial maturity date of January 26, 2018 with two 6-month options for the Company to extend upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Pursuant to the Gamma Loan, approximately $5,298,000 has been deposited into an interest reserve account to be applied toward monthly interest payments to the Lender. The Gamma Loan is secured by (i) a mortgage on the Company’s interest in its building located at 180 East 5th Street, St. Paul, Minnesota, (ii) an assignment of lease and rents, (iii) 100% of the membership and ownership interests in the Parent, and (iv) other collateral specified in the Gamma Loan documents. The Gamma Loan documents contain events of default that are customary for loans of this type. The loan proceeds were used to pay-off the existing mortgage on the 180 East 5th Street property, redeem the Talon OP preferred units, and fund various escrows and reserves related to the property.

 

On April 9, 2015, the Company entered into a significant lease arrangement with a new tenant. On January 27, 2017 the company executed a Second Amendment to the lease with the tenant to resolve issues concerning a notice of default that the Company received from the tenant on April 1, 2016. The Second Amendment rescinds the Notice of Default and the Termination Notice that the tenant had delivered, changes the lease commencement date from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2018 and required the Company to place approximately $5,640,000 in escrow to provide evidence of our ability to pay for the remaining tenant improvements. We deposited the required escrow funds on January 27, 2017.

 

On January 25, 2017, in the matter of Swervo Management Division, LLC, as plaintiff, versus Talon Real Estate Holding Corp, Talon First Trust, LLC and Talon Bren Road, LLC, as defendant, the Company executed a $1,330,167 amended and restated promissory note, plus interest on the unpaid balance at 10%. The entire principal balance shall be due and payable on the earlier of July 24, 2017 or upon a time that the Company refinances or sells its property located at 10301 Bren Road. This note replaces the Amended and Restated promissory note dated June 30, 2016 in the amount of $953,908 ($1,008,908 as of December 31, 2016) given by Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. and Talon First Trust, LLC.

The Company filed a complaint in the State of Minnesota in June, 2016 to enforce the NOI Payment Agreement and other documents issued in conjunction with the Contribution Agreement entered into in May, 2014 with Bren Road, L.L.C. The defendant responded and filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint against Talon Bren Road, LLC and Talon OP, LP in July, 2016. In November, 2016 the matter came before the court on the Defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment. Subsequently, in February, 2017 the Hennepin County District Court issued a Findings of Fact and Order for Judgment on the counter claim against the Company in the amount of $719,365, plus post judgment interest which pursuant to our 10301 Bren Road and 180 East 5th Street loan agreements, constitutes a non-financial event of default. The outstanding amount of the judgment was satisfied on June 23, 2017 as part of the refinancing of Talon Bren Road, LLC’s outstanding mortgages.

 

In March, 2017, a significant tenant of our 180 East 5th Street, St Paul property filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors. The Company lost a portion of March rent from the period of the initial filing until a Trustee could be appointed. From the date of Trustee appointment through September 30, 2017, full lease payments were received by the Company. Under the terms of the bankruptcy, the tenant’s lease was terminated effective September 30, 2017.

 

On March 27, 2017, Talon Bren Road, LLC received a notice of default under the terms of our second mortgage agreement, the outstanding balance of which was $2,000,000 as of the date of the receipt of the notice. This mortgage was refinanced on June 23, 2017 which resolved the default.

Our last two acquisitions were accomplished utilizing a 721 Exchange tax deferral methodology similar to that of an “UPREIT” providing several unique advantages over a 1031 exchange or selling to cash buyers. This strategy is advantageous for real estate owners seeking to mitigate and defer their immediate tax obligations, stay invested in real estate, diversify their holdings, and seek potential future growth and liquidity by accepting Talon OP common units which can later be converted 1:1 for Talon common stock, which trade under the ticker “TALR,” and their capital gains tax obligations are deferred until then.

 

Our strategy is to continue offering these tax-deferred solutions to real estate owners as part of diversifying our shareholder base creating liquidity and shareholder value. We continue to believe office and industrial properties offer the best return on equity metrics as part of our investment strategy. Retail will also be part of our overall portfolio with an average overall target portfolio contribution of nearly 20% over the long-term.

 

The middle corridor of the United States continues to offer higher cap rates compared to the west and east coasts and we will continue to explore additional investment options within this region to continue our mission to provide return on equity targets of 8-15% per asset or portfolio.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our revenues and expenses have changed primarily due to increases in expenses attributable to an increase in legal services related to our legal proceedings in 2017. We expect our revenues, tenant reimbursements and many expenses will continue to increase on an absolute basis in the future as we seek to acquire additional properties, assume or refinance indebtedness in connection with the acquisitions and build the infrastructure necessary to grow our business. In the near term, we expect to continue to incur higher legal and other professional fees in pursuit of potential acquisitions.

Three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to three months ended March 31, 2016

 

Revenues and Expenses

 

Rental revenues decreased $104,842, or 5.6%, to $1,771,070 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $1,875,912 for the same period of the prior year. The modest decrease in rental revenue relates to several smaller adjustments to rented space and certain lease rate adjustments with no significant new leased space across the portfolio.

 

Tenant reimbursements decreased $36,107, or 4.0%, to $861,384 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $897,491 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in tenant reimbursements is consistent with the decrease in rent and stable property operating expenses.

 

Other income decreased $61,263, or 71.2%, to $24,738 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $86,001 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease primarily relates to lower recorded amounts related to an income guarantee on one of the properties owned and lower revenue from an event center located in the 180 East 5th Street property in St. Paul.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $295,231, or 85.1%, to $51,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $347,033 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the expensing of $285,000 of lost deal costs in 2016 with no comparable expense in 2017.

 

Salary and compensation expenses decreased $42,675 or 19.0%, to $182,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $224,697 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in salary and compensation expense is primarily related to staff turnover in late 2016 resulting in lower salaries for replacement personnel in 2017.

 

Professional fees increased $131,295, or 58.1%, to $357,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $225,845 for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily due to an increase in legal services related to our legal proceedings and refinancing of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Property operating expenses decreased $6,391, or 0.5%, to $1,179,187 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1,185,578 for the same period of the prior year. Property operating expenses have remained essentially unchanged due to a stable operating environment and the lack of unusual or infrequent expenditures.

 

Real estate taxes and insurance increased $14,902 or 3.4%, to $460,379 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $445,477 for the same period of the prior year. The three months ending March 31, 2017 are in line with the annual increase in real estate taxes across the portfolio as the composition of our real estate portfolio remained the same.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $14,163, or 1.2%, to $1,218,242 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1,232,405 for the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to certain intangible assets expiring in correlation with the applicable leases.

Interest expense increased by $796,389, or 107.1% to $2,024,427 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $1,228,038 for the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to the refinancing of the 180 East 5th Street mortgage and other changes in outstanding debt. The weighted average interest rate increased to 11.77% as of March 31, 2017 compared to 6.49% as of March 31, 2016 and outstanding debt increased by $23,105,751. In addition, deferred financing cost amortization was accelerated on the refinanced debt and significant new deferred financing costs were incurred which have predominantly a one-year amortization period.

 

Funds from Operations and Non-GAAP Reconciliation

 

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines funds from operations, or FFO, as net income (loss) available to common shareholders and operating partnership unit holders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and extraordinary items, plus depreciation and amortization of operating properties, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We intend to calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition.

 

Management intends to use FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Because real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting is insufficient by itself. In addition, securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties use FFO as the primary metric for comparing the relative performance of equity REITs. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures used by REITs.

 

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

 

We define adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as FFO excluding the non-cash effects of straight-line rent and amortization of lease inducements and deferred financing costs, depreciation of non-real estate, and excluding the effects of non-cash compensation charges. U.S. GAAP requires rental revenues related to non-contingent leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. This method may result in rental income in the early years of a lease that is higher than actual cash received, creating a deferred rent receivable asset or lower income than actual cash received, creating a deferred rent revenue liability included in our consolidated balance sheet. At some point during the lease, depending on its terms, cash rent payments may exceed or be lower than the straight-line rent which results in the deferred rent receivable asset or liability, respectively, decreasing to zero over the remainder of the lease term. By excluding the non-cash portion of straight-line rental revenue and amortization of lease inducement and deferred financing costs as well as non-cash compensation expense, investors, analysts and our management can compare AFFO between periods.

 

Below is the calculation of FFO and AFFO and the reconciliation to net income (loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP financial measure:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain our operations and assets, acquire properties, make distributions to our shareholders and other general business needs. We have incurred significant expenses related to operating as a public corporation, building and tenant improvements at our properties, and preparation for and execution of our acquisition strategy creating a cash shortfall from operations through March 31, 2017.

 

We currently do not have available cash and cash flows from current operations to provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future. Our current liabilities exceed our unrestricted cash and we have insufficient cash flow from current operations to pursue our strategy without further financing. As of March 31, 2017, we had unrestricted cash of approximately $88,596 and current liabilities including tenant improvement allowances, unsecured debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses substantially in excess of the available cash. We therefore will require additional capital and increased cash flow from future operations to fund our ongoing business. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and future operations to fund our ongoing business. If the amount of capital we are able to raise together with our income from operations is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may be required to cease our operations or alter our growth plans. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment.

 Table of Contents

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds needed to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, pay off maturing debt, and to pursue our strategy of near-term growth through acquisition of properties as well as general and administrative expenses operating as a public company.

 

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for scheduled debt maturities, non-recurring capital expenditures that need to be made periodically and continued expansion of our business through acquisitions. Although we plan to aggressively pursue acquisitions to grow our business, there is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional properties in the future.

 

Since our available cash and cash flows from current operations do not provide us with adequate cash to satisfy current liabilities and are not expected to provide us with adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will undertake future debt or equity financings or asset sales during 2017. Additional financing or asset sales are necessary for our company to continue as a going concern.

 

In the future, we anticipate using a number of different sources to finance our liquidity needs, including cash flows from operations, issuance of debt securities or equity securities (which might be common or preferred stock), private financings (such as additional bank credit facilities or cash advances, which may or may not be secured by our assets), asset sales (including sales of accounts receivable), seller financing, property-level mortgage debt, or any combination of these sources, to the extent available to us, or other sources that may become available from time to time. Any debt that we incur may be recourse or non-recourse and may be secured or unsecured. Although we have successfully raised equity capital in the past, we cannot be assured that we will be able to continue to be successful in raising capital through issuance of securities. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, our status as a new enterprise without significant assets or demonstrated operating history, and/or the loss of key management. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any required additional capital or generate sufficient cash flow from our current and proposed operations to fund our ongoing business. Ongoing litigation may also impact our liquidity, as cash flow may need to be used on legal and other litigation expenses.

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

5130 LLC, an entity in which our Operating Partnership owns a 49% interest and that owns an industrial complex located in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, is party to a loan agreement secured by such industrial complex. This percentage was be consolidated in December 2018. The loan agreement provides for two term loans, the A loan and the B loan. The term loans had a balloon payment due on April 8, 2017 and is past due. The Company expects to refinance this loan but as of the filing of this document has been unable to do so.

 

Talon Bren Road, LLC, an entity through which our Operating Partnership acquired the property located at 10301 Bren Road West, Minnetonka, MN on May 29, 2014, is party to a loan agreement secured by such property. It is also a party to two loans the proceeds of which were used to fund certain capital improvements at the building. This property also secures the Talon Bren Road, LLC Mortgage 2 (as defined in the table below) entered into on July 2, 2014 in connection with the acquisition of the property located at 180 East 5th Street St. Paul, MN.

 

Talon First Trust, LLC, an entity through which our Operating Partnership acquired the property located at 180 E. Fifth Street St. Paul, MN on July 2, 2014, is party to a loan agreement secured by such property. The loan has an initial maturity date of January 26, 2018 with two 6-month options for the Company to extend upon satisfaction of certain conditions. If we are unable to satisfy the conditions to extend, we will need to seek alternative financing or possibly sell the property in order to satisfy the obligation.

 

TREHC has additional indebtedness related to various judgments and obligations arising in the normal course of financing our operations. These notes represent current obligations of the entity and continue to accrue interest while outstanding. We may need to seek alternative financing or sell certain assets in order to generate the necessary funds to satisfy these obligations.

(1)On January 25, 2017, the Company executed a $1,330,167 amended and restated promissory note, plus interest on the unpaid balance at 10%. The entire principal balance shall be due and payable on the earlier of July 24, 2017 or upon a time that the Company refinances or sells its property located at 10301 Bren Road. This note replaces the Amended and Restated promissory note dated June 30, 2016 in the amount of $953,908 ($1,008,908 as of December 31, 2016) given by Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. and Talon First Trust, LLC.
(2)In 2015, the Company entered into two separate $500,000 unsecured promissory notes with the same unrelated party. The notes bore interest at rates from14% to 24% annually through June 30, 2016 after which time the notes accrued interest at 26%. On May 19, 2017, a judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $1,476,498. As of the date of the judgment, the interest rate on the note changed to 10% under Minnesota Statutes.
(3)The outstanding principal and applicable accrued interest is due in full upon sale or refinancing of the property at 180 E. Fifth Street in St. Paul.
(4)During 2016 the Company received funds from four different sources. As of March 31, 2017, the total outstanding balance was $215,259 for the sale of future receivables at the property located at 180 E. Fifth Street. The agreements require payments totaling $644,039 over 120 days. Per FASB ASC 470-10-25, which provides guidance on funds received from sales of future receivables, this transaction has been classified as debt and included in notes payable. The agreements are guaranteed by a shareholder of the Company.
(5)On June 21, 2017, we refinanced these mortgages with a new $15.1 million at 9.5% with an initial maturity date of June 1, 2018.
(6)On August 2014, the Company entered into a $500,000 unsecured promissory note with a related party, one of its then current directors. The note had an original maturity date of February 8, 2015. The Company extended the maturity date of the note in 2015 and 2016. In October 2016, the former director filed a summons and complaint in the State of Minnesota claiming that the Company breached its obligation under the note. In April 2017, this matter went to trial and the plaintiff was awarded $897,695. As of the date of the judgment, the interest rate on the note changed to 10% under Minnesota Statutes. On May 31, 2017, the Court granted a Charging Order against the Company and Talon OP L.P. where the Company and Talon OP L.P are required to pay all profits and distributions to the plaintiff until the full amount of the judgment is paid and satisfied.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

At March 31, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Inflation

 

As of March 31, 2017, most of our leases required tenants to reimburse us for a share of our operating expenses. As result, we are able to pass on much of any increases to our property operating expenses that might occur due to inflation by correspondingly increasing our expense reimbursement revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, inflation did not have a material impact on our revenues or net income.

 

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity 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. In pursuing our business plan, we expect that interest rate risk will be the primary market risk to which we will be exposed. As of March 31, 2017, all but one of our outstanding loans had a fixed rate. Our interest rate risk may further increase if we increase our debt in the future or refinance our existing debt.

 

We may become exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of floating rate debt used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage overall borrowing.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

Our results of operations and cash flows are not materially affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2017.

 Table of Contents

The following control deficiencies were identified and were determined to be material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017:

 

1.Internal Control Environment
2.Period end Financial Reporting Process

 

The material weaknesses occurred as a result of a significant turnover in the Company’s accounting personnel in the latter part of 2016, which, despite having established policies and procedures, the company lacked adequate controls regarding training in in the internal control environment. In addition, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with the appropriate accounting knowledge, experience and training, commensurate with our financial reporting requirements in order to execute a timely close, which resulted in incomplete disclosures, unreconciled accounts, incomplete accounting for certain events and transactions and inaccurate conclusions. This resulted in misstatements that were corrected by the Company prior to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements, and for which a reasonable possibility existed that a material misstatement in the Company’s consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management also identified multiple significant deficiencies in its review. These could also lead to potential misstatements in our financial statements or prevent the Company from timely completing its financial statement preparation.

 

Management Remediation Plan

 

Due to the material weaknesses reported as of March 31, 2017, management performed additional analysis and procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements and schedules included in this Quarterly Report were presented fairly in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Management will implement changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate the control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses. We are undertaking the following remediation plans and actions:

 

·Develop and deliver Internal Controls (“COSO”) training to Executives and finance/accounting resources. The training will include a review of management’s and individual roles and responsibilities related to internal controls;
·hire accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge to properly record transactions in the general ledger and prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
·augment our existing staff with external consultants with the requisite knowledge and expertise to supplement our accounting staff to ensure that transactions are recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals and that are disclosures are accurate and complete; and
·provide increased board level oversight to ensure established policies and procedures are adhered to.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were the following changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 which have the potential to have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently engaged in legal proceedings that may have a material impact on our financial statements. From time to time, we may be named as a defendant in legal actions or otherwise be subject to claims arising from our normal business activities. Any such actions, even those that lack merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.

 

The Company filed a complaint in the State of Minnesota on June 10, 2016 to enforce the NOI Payment Agreement and other documents issued in conjunction with the Contribution Agreement entered into on May 29, 2014 with Bren Road, L.L.C. The defendant has responded and filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint against Talon Bren Road, LLC and Talon OP, LP on July 7, 2016. On November 9, 2016 the matter came before the court on the Defendant’s motion for partial summary judgment. Subsequently, on February 27, 2017 the Hennepin County District Court issued a Findings of Fact and Order for Judgment on the counter claim against the Company in the amount of $719,365, plus post judgment interest which pursuant to our 10301 Bren Road and 180 E 5th Street loan agreements, constitutes a non-financial event of default. The outstanding amount of the judgment was satisfied on June 23, 2017 as part of the refinancing of Talon Bren Road, LLC’s outstanding mortgages.

 

On January 25, 2017, in the matter of Swervo Management Division, LLC, as plaintiff, versus Talon Real Estate Holding Corp, Talon First Trust, LLC and Talon Bren Road, LLC, as defendant, the Company executed a $1,330,167 amended and restated promissory note, plus interest on the unpaid balance at 10%. The entire principal balance shall be due and payable on the earlier of July 24, 2017 or upon a time that the Company refinances or sells its property located at 10301 Bren Road. This note replaces the Amended and Restated promissory note dated June 30, 2016 in the amount of $953,908 ($1,008,908 as of December 31, 2016) given by Talon Real Estate Holding Corp. and Talon First Trust, LLC.

 

In April 2019, Talon has reached a settlement with the Upper Midwest Allied Gifts Association “UMAGA” and various tenants at Talon’s Bren Road property.  The settlement includes a new 3.5 year Master Triple Net Lease for the entire property with UMAGA.  Talon through the lease will obtain rights to certain parking areas at the property during the term of the lease.  The settlement also includes the dismissal of all suits, and claims, between Talon, UMAGA and the tenants.  The settlement was read into the court record, and is binding, as the final settlement and lease documents are now fully executed.
