Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights.

 

We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.

4.Related Party Transactions

 

We engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including investment in notes receivables. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

5.Commitments and Contingencies

 

In February 2019, Paul Berger (“Berger”) filed suit against us and others that alleged that we completed improper sales and/or transfers of property. Berger sought to proceed derivatively and directly, requests a payoff of various related party loans to us and that we then distribute the funds to its stockholders. After discovery and motions to dismiss substantial portions of the complaint, on June 28, 2022, Plaintiff Berger sought to voluntarily dismiss the action for reasons stated in the motion. The parties have not entered into any settlement, and neither Berger nor their counsel has received any consideration for the voluntary dismissal. The parties, through counsel, have stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice. On June 29, 2022, the United States District Court ordered that notice of the dismissal be provided to our shareholders. A copy of the required notice was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K for event occurring June 29, 2022 (the date of the Court’s order), and on July 7, 2022, a copy of the required notice was posted on our website. If no action is taken by one or more of our other stockholders prior to August 19, 2022, the Court may enter an order dismissing the Berger case with prejudice.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis by management should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) and in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

 

This Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, principally, but not only, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “estimate”, “project”, “should”, “will”, “result” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

 

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments;

 

failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets or to integrate acquisitions successfully;

 

risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates and volatility in the securities markets;

 

potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination; and

 

risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

 

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements, include among others, the factors listed and described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which investors should review. There have been no changes from the risk factors previously described in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

As further set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Form 10-K, the recent coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic as well as the response to mitigate its spread and effect, may adversely impact our Company. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and make further actions as may be required by governmental authorities or that we determine are in the best interest of the Company.

 

Management’s Overview

 

We are an externally advised and managed company that invests in notes receivable that are collateralized by income-producing properties in the Southern United States and in the past, real property. Our current principal source of income is interest income on note receivables from related parties.

 

10 

 

We have historically engaged in and may continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition, dispositions and financings. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in our best interest.

 

Our operations are managed by Pillar in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending investment opportunities. We have no employees. Employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Pillar is considered to be a related party due to its common ownership with TCI, who is our controlling shareholder.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on the provisions for uncollectible accounts and fair value measurements. Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We apply the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, to the valuation of real estate assets. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.

 

The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Related Parties

 

We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing our own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Statement of Operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our net income applicable to common shares. Instead, we have focused on significant fluctuations within our operations that we feel are relevant to obtain an overall understanding of the change in income applicable to common shareholders.

 

Our operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative costs such as audit and legal fees and administrative fees paid to a related party.

 

We also have other income and expense items. We receive interest income from the funds deposited with TCI at a rate of prime plus 1.0%. We have receivables from related parties which also provide interest income.

 

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2021:

 

There was no significant changes in operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the six months ended June 30, 2021:

 

Our $0.7 million decrease in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily attributed to a one-time incentive payment received in 2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses. Our principal sources of cash are and will continue to be the collection of mortgage notes receivables, and the collections of receivables and interests from related companies.

 

We anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, along with cash that will be generated in the next twelve months from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our current cash requirements.

 

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in our consolidated financial statements, and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):

 

   2022   2021   Incr /(Decr) 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(1)  $(2,980)  $2,979 
Net cash provided by investing activities  $   $2,970   $(2,970)

 

The increase in cash from operating activities is primarily due to the the recovery of bad debts.

 

The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due to the collection of a note receivable in 2021.

 

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Optional and not included.

 

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Based on an evaluation by our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

12 

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In February 2019, Paul Berger (“Berger”) filed suit against us and others that alleged that our subsidiary IOR completed improper sales and/or transfers of property. Berger sought to proceed derivatively and directly, requests a payoff of various related party loans to IOR and that IOR then distribute the funds to its stockholders. After discovery and motions to dismiss substantial portions of the complaint, on June 28, 2022, Plaintiff Berger sought to voluntarily dismiss the action for reasons stated in the motion. The parties have not entered into any settlement, and neither Berger nor their counsel has received any consideration for the voluntary dismissal. The parties, through counsel, have stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice. On June 29, 2022, the United States District Court ordered that notice of the dismissal be provided to IOR shareholders. A copy of the required notice was filed as an exhibit to a Form 8-K of IOR for event occurring June 29, 2022 (the date of the Court’s order), and on July 7, 2022, a copy of the required notice was posted on IOR’s website. If no action is taken by one or more other stockholders of IOR prior to August 19, 2022, the Court may enter an order dismissing the Berger case with prejudice.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

 

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2021 10-K. For a discussion on these risk factors, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the 2021 10-K.

 

Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and our property portfolio. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2022, from the COVID-19 pandemic, our commercial properties have experienced a decline in occupancy. We are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nearly every industry has been impacted directly or indirectly, and the commercial real estate market has come under pressure due to numerous factors, including preventative measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to alleviate the public health crisis such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, and restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders. The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial activities will depend on future developments, which at this stage are unpredictable considering the fluctuations of COVID-19 outbreaks and the resulting changes in the markets.

 

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We have a program that allows for the repurchase of up to 1,637,000 shares of our common stock. This repurchase program has no termination date. There were no shares purchased under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, 1,230,535 shares have been purchased and 406,465 shares may be purchased under the program.
