GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS
Business
Gladstone Land Corporation is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been previously re-incorporated in Delaware on May 25, 2004, and having been originally incorporated in California on June 14, 1997. We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, and we conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company owned 89.2% and 100.0% of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively (see Note 7, "Equity," for additional discussion regarding OP Units).
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours.
All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring accruals, necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain line items on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported stockholders’ equity or net income.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests are interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by us. We evaluate whether non-controlling interests are subject to redemption features outside of our control. As of September 30, 2016, the non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership are redeemable for cash or, at our option, shares of our common stock and thus are reported in the equity section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet but separate from stockholders’ equity. The amount reported for non-controlling interests on the Condensed Statement of Operations represents the portion of income from the Operating Partnership not attributable to us.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature in order to make certain estimates and assumptions, and the application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. ASU 2015-03 requires the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred financing cost. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and we adopted this provision during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of both September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we had unamortized deferred financing costs related to mortgage notes and bonds payable of approximately $1.1 million, which costs have been reclassified from Deferred financing costs, net, as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015, in the Form 10-K, to Mortgage notes and bonds payable, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All periods presented have been retroactively adjusted.
The following table summarizes the retrospective adjustment and the overall impact on the previously-reported consolidated financial statements: |
| | | | | | | | |
| | As of December 31, 2015 |
| | As Previously Reported | | Retrospective Application |
Deferred financing costs related to mortgage notes and bonds payable(1) | | $ | 1,054,222 |
| | $ | — |
|
Mortgage notes and bonds payable, net | | 142,633,157 |
| | 141,578,935 |
|
| |
(1) | Included as part of Deferred financing costs, net, as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the Form 10-K. |
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”), which codifies an SEC staff announcement that entities are permitted to defer and present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as assets. ASU 2015-15 was effective immediately. As of each September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we had unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.1 million related to our line of credit, and we will continue to present debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements as an asset on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On January 1, 2016, we adopted accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidations: Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities,” (“ASC 810”), which modifies the analysis we must perform to determine whether we should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest model entities, but it modifies the requirements to qualify as a voting interest model entity. Under the revised guidance, our Operating Partnership will qualify as a VIE; however, as we already consolidate the Operating Partnership in our balance sheets, the identification of our Operating Partnership as a VIE has no impact on our consolidated financial statements. There were no other legal entities qualifying under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption of this guidance. In addition, there were no other voting interest model entities under prior existing guidance determined to be VIEs under the revised guidance.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): An Amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“ASU 2016-02”). 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 leases is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee, which classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis, respectively, 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 the classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. 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. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the previous leasing standard, ASC 840, “Leases,” and is effective on January 1, 2019, with
early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the overall impact of ASU 2016-02. We expect our legal expenses to increase marginally, as the new standard requires us to expense indirect leasing costs that were previously capitalized; however, we do not expect ASU 2016-02 to materially impact our consolidated financial statements, as we do not currently have any lease arrangements for which we are the lessee.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" ("ASU 2016-15"), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-15 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, "Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control" ("ASU 2016-17"), which amends the consolidation guidance in ASU 2015-02 regarding the treatment of indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control. ASU 2016-17 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-17 and do not anticipate a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New Real Estate Activity
Certain acquisitions during the periods presented were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, as there was a prior leasing history on the property. As such, the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined in accordance with ASC 805, and all acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred, other than those costs directly related to reviewing or assigning leases that we assumed upon acquisition, which were capitalized as part of leasing costs. For acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, all acquisition-related costs were capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the identifiable tangible assets acquired, other than those costs that directly related to originating new leases we executed upon acquisition, which were capitalized as part of leasing costs.
In addition, total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities, such as OP Units. When OP Units are issued in connection with acquisitions, we determine the fair value of the OP Units issued based on the number of units issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition.
2016 New Real Estate Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we acquired 13 new farms in seven separate transactions, which are summarized in the table below.

Significant Existing Real Estate Activity
On February 1, 2016, we completed certain irrigation improvements on Sycamore Road to increase overall water availability at a total cost of $993,319. As stipulated in the lease agreement with our tenant, we will earn additional rent on the total cost commensurate with the annual yield on the farmland, which will result in additional straight-line rental income of $53,550 per year throughout the remaining lease term.
On February 8, 2016, we renewed the lease with the tenant occupying one of our McIntosh Road farms, which was set to expire on June 30, 2016. The lease was renewed for an additional three years, through June 30, 2019, with annualized, straight-line rental income of $63,000, representing a 17.9% increase over that of the previous lease.
On April 5, 2016, we reimbursed the tenant occupying Wauchula Road for $569,607 of costs incurred to construct certain irrigation improvements on the farm. As stipulated in the lease, as of April 1, 2016, we began earning an additional $92,634 of annualized, straight-line rental income on this farm throughout the remaining lease term.
On April 5, 2016, we reimbursed the tenant occupying Parrish Road for $500,000 of our portion of the costs incurred to construct certain irrigation improvements on the farm. As stipulated in the lease, as of April 1, 2016, we began earning an additional $139,073 of annualized, straight-line rental income on this farm throughout the remaining lease term. In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Parrish Road in March 2015, we committed to providing $745,000 as additional compensation and reimbursements of certain costs, contingent upon the approval by a local water management district of increases in certain water permits on the property. These water permits were approved on June 28, 2016, and we remitted $745,000 to the tenant, who was also the seller of the property, on June 30, 2016.
On July 5, 2016, we received payment of approximately $164,000 (including $4,000 of accrued interest) from the California Department of Transportation ("CalTrans") in connection with the settlement of the eminent domain lawsuit for 4.5 acres of nonfarmable land on Espinosa Road. The portion of this payment allocated to our cost basis of the 4.5 nonfarmable acres was approximately $156,000, which was previously included in Investments in real estate, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
On July 15, 2016, we terminated the lease with the tenant occupying Colding Loop prior to its expiration, and, on August 5, 2016, we entered into a new lease with a new tenant to occupy the property. The new lease is scheduled to expire on August 4, 2017, and provides for minimum rental payments of $72,400 over its term. In connection with the early termination of the previous lease, we wrote off $20,697 and $84,600 of deferred rent asset balances to bad debt expense during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we expensed $8,635 of unamortized leasing costs associated with the previous lease.
On August 25, 2016, we renewed the lease with the tenant occupying Espinosa Road, which was originally set to expire on October 31, 2016. The lease was renewed for an additional four years, through October 31, 2020, with annualized, straight-line rental income of $997,017, representing a 28.1% increase over that of the previous lease. In connection with the renewal, we also assumed the responsibility for the property taxes on Espinosa Road, which were the tenant's responsibility under the old lease. Property taxes on Espinosa Road are approximately $144,000 for the property tax assessment year ending June 30, 2017.

Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2016, our farms were leased to 39 different, third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. Dole Food Company (“Dole”) leases two of our farms, and aggregate rental revenue attributable to Dole accounted for approximately $2.2 million, or 17.8% of the rental revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. If Dole fails to make rental payments or elects to terminate its leases, and the properties cannot be re-leased on satisfactory terms, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. No other individual tenant represented greater than 10.0% of the total rental revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Geographic Risk
21 of our 56 farms owned as of September 30, 2016, are located in California, and 15 farms are located in Florida. As of September 30, 2016, our farmland in California accounted for 6,516 acres, or 19.3% of the total acreage we owned. Furthermore, these farms accounted for approximately $7.0 million, or 56.4% of the rental revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. However, these farms are spread across three of the many different growing regions within California. As of September 30, 2016, our farmland in Florida accounted for 5,567 acres, or 16.5% of the total acreage we owned, and these farms accounted for approximately $2.4 million, or 19.4%, of the rental revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Though we seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible, should an unexpected natural disaster occur where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. No other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of the total rental revenue recorded during the
