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 93.1% and 100.0% of the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") as of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively (see Note 6, "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 six months ended June 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, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, and the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported stockholders’ equity, net income or net change in cash and cash equivalents.
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 June 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 six months ended June 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 June 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 June 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.

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 that directly related to reviewing or assigning leases 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 six months ended June 30, 2016, we acquired four new farms in two 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, beginning with the three months ending June 30, 2016, we will earn 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, beginning with the three months ending June 30, 2016, we will earn 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.

Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of June 30, 2016, our farms were leased to 35 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 $1.5 million, or 18.6% of the rental revenue recorded during the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2016.
Geographic Risk
19 of our 47 farms owned as of June 30, 2016, are located in California, and 13 farms are located in Florida. As of June 30, 2016, our farmland in California accounted for 4,029 acres, or 17.2% of the total acreage we owned. Furthermore, these farms accounted for approximately $4.5 million, or 56.8% of the rental revenue recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2016. However, these farms are spread across three of the many different growing regions within California. As of June 30, 2016, our farmland in Florida accounted for 5,094 acres, or 21.7% of the total acreage we owned, and these farms accounted for approximately $1.5 million, or 19.4%, of the rental revenue recorded during the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2016.

(1) | Where applicable, represents the weighted-average, blended rate on the respective borrowing facilities as of each June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015. |
| |
(2) | If facility is not fully utilized by December 31, 2017, MetLife has the option to be relieved of its obligations to disburse the additional funds under the loan. |
| |
(3) | Based on the properties that were pledged as collateral under the MetLife Facility, as of June 30, 2016, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the facility was approximately $7.1 million. |
| |
(4) | Includes borrowings from Farm Credit CFL and Farm Credit West, each as defined below. |
| |
(5) | Rate is before interest patronage. 2015 interest patronage (as described below) received resulted in a 16.1% reduction to the stated interest rate on such borrowings. |
| |
(6) | If facility is not fully utilized by December 11, 2018, Farmer Mac has the option to be relieved of its obligations to purchase additional bonds under the facility. |
| |
(7) | At each of June 30, 2016, there was no additional availability to draw under this facility, as no additional properties had been pledged as collateral. |
The weighted-average interest rate charged on all of our borrowings, excluding the impact of deferred financing costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded interest, was 3.25% and 3.27% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and 3.57% and 3.56% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. 2015 interest patronage from all Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below), which patronage was received during the three months ended March 31, 2016, resulted in a 16.1% reduction to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. We are unable to estimate the amount of patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2016 on our Farm Credit Notes Payable.
MetLife Facility
On May 9, 2014, we closed on a facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) that consists of a $100.0 million long-term note payable that is scheduled to mature on January 5, 2029 (the “MetLife Note Payable”), and a $25.0 million revolving equity line of credit that is scheduled to mature on April 5, 2024 (the “MetLife Line of Credit” and, together with the MetLife Note Payable, the “MetLife Facility”). As amended on September 3, 2015, advances under the MetLife Note Payable bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.35% per annum, plus an unused line fee of 0.20% on undrawn amounts, and interest rates for subsequent disbursements will be based on prevailing market rates at the time of such disbursements. The interest rates on advances and subsequent disbursements will be subject to adjustment every five years. If the full commitment amount of $100.0 million is not drawn by December 31, 2017, MetLife has the option to be relieved of its obligation to disburse the additional funds under this loan. Advances under the MetLife Line of Credit bear interest at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 2.25%, with a minimum annualized rate of 2.50%, plus an unused fee of 0.20% on undrawn amounts. The interest rate spread on borrowings under the MetLife Line of Credit will be subject to adjustment on April 5, 2017. As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.
Farm Credit Notes Payable
Farm Credit CFL Notes Payable
From time to time since September 19, 2014, we, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, have entered into various loan agreements with Farm Credit of Central Florida, FLCA (“Farm Credit CFL”). As of June 30, 2016, we have approximately $21.2 million of aggregate borrowings outstanding to Farm Credit CFL that bear interest (before interest patronage) at a weighted-average rate of 3.42% per annum. 2015 interest patronage from Farm Credit CFL borrowings resulted in a 16.1% reduction to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to these borrowings.
Farm Credit West Note Payable
On April 4, 2016, in connection with the acquisition of Calaveras Avenue on April 5, 2016, we, through a subsidiary of our Operating Partnership, closed on a loan from Farm Credit West, FLCA ("Farm Credit West"), for approximately $9.3 million. The mortgage note is scheduled to mature on November 1, 2040, and will bear interest (before interest patronage) at a fixed rate of 3.54% per annum through April 30, 2021, thereafter converting to a variable rate to be determined by Farm Credit West unless another fixed rate is established.
As of June 30, 2016, we have approximately $9.3 million of aggregate borrowings outstanding to Farm Credit West that bear interest (before interest patronage) at a rate of 3.54% per annum, and we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to these borrowings.
Farmer Mac Facility
On December 5, 2014, we, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, entered into a bond purchase agreement (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) and Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (the “Bond Purchaser”), for a secured note purchase facility that provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Farmer Mac Facility”). On June 16, 2016, we entered into an amendment to increase the maximum borrowing capacity under the Farmer Mac Facility from $75.0 million to $125.0 million and extend the term of the Bond Purchase Agreement by two years, to December 11, 2018.
On March 3, 2016, in connection with the acquisition of Gunbarrel Road, we completed the issuances of two bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility: (i) an $11.1 million, seven-year, interest-only bond with a fixed interest rate of 3.08% throughout its term, and (ii) a $4.4 million, seven-year, amortizing bond with a fixed interest rate of 2.98% throughout its term.
As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the facility.

Fair Value
As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate fair value of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage notes and bonds payable was approximately $168.8 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value of $165.0 million. The fair value of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. Due to their short-term nature and the lack of changes in market credit spreads, the aggregate fair value of our short-term, variable-rate mortgage notes and bonds payable as of June 30, 2016, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of approximately $2.0 million. Further, due to the revolving nature of the MetLife Line of Credit and the lack of changes in market credit spreads, its fair value as of June 30, 2016, is deemed to approximate its carrying value of $14.5 million.

NOTE 6. EQUITY
Stockholders’ Equity
As of each June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, there were 20,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized and 9,992,941 shares issued and outstanding.
Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership
We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership. As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we owned approximately 93.1% and 100.0%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.
On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common
stock on a one-for-one basis. The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption. A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.
Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-Company unitholder redeems an OP Unit, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.
The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.
As of June 30, 2016, there were 745,879 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners.
Distributions
The distributions to common stockholders declared by our Board of Directors and paid by us during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are reflected in the table below.
