SQFTW Presidio Property Trust Inc

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2024, and  December 31, 2023, as well as results of our operations, and cash flows as of, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, due to real estate market fluctuations, available mortgage lending rates and other unknown factors. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Annual Report. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Annual Report. 

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Presidio Property Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries, NetREIT Advisors, LLC and Dubose Advisors LLC (collectively, the “Advisors”), and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc. The consolidated financial statements also include the results of the NetREIT Partnerships and the Model Home Partnerships.  As used herein, references to the “Company” include references to Presidio Property Trust, Inc., its subsidiaries, and the partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of (a) Murphy Canyon up until September 22, 2023, when it completed its business combination.  Murphy Canyon was a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") for which we served as the financial sponsor (as described herein), and which was deemed to be controlled by us as a result of our 65% equity ownership stake, the overlap of three of our executive officers as executive officers of Murphy Canyon, and significant influence that we exercised over the funding and acquisition of new operations for an initial business combination (see Note 2, Variable Interest Entity). All intercompany balances, prior to deconsolidation and loss of control on September 22, 2023, have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company classifies the noncontrolling interests in the NetREIT Partnerships as part of consolidated net (loss) income in 2024 and 2023 and has included the accumulated amount of noncontrolling interests as part of equity since inception in February 2010. If a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary results in loss of control and deconsolidation, any retained ownership interest will be remeasured, with the gain or loss reported in the consolidated statements of operations. Management has evaluated the noncontrolling interests and determined that they do not contain any redemption features.

Use of Estimates. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between the components of land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Assets and Lease Intangibles. Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost, including tenant improvements and lease acquisition costs (including leasing commissions, space planning fees, and legal fees). The Company capitalizes any expenditure that replaces, improves, or otherwise extends the economic life of an asset, while ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties between the acquired tangible assets and liabilities (consisting of land, buildings, tenant improvements, and long-term debt) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and tenant relationships), in each case based on their respective fair values.

The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the property was vacant. Estimates of fair value for land, building and building improvements are based on many factors, including, but not limited to, comparisons to other properties sold in the same geographic area and independent third-party valuations. In estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, intangible assets, and liabilities acquired, the Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre‑acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.

The value allocated to acquired lease intangibles is based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include, but are not limited, to the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease, the tenant’s credit quality, and other factors.

The value attributable to the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of rents that would be paid using fair market rates over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above or below-market leases are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase or reduction of rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Amortization of above and below-market rents resulted in a net increase in rental income of approximately $1,200 in each period for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  

The value of in-place leases and unamortized lease origination costs are amortized to expenses over the remaining term of the respective leases, which range from less than a year to ten years. The amount allocated to acquired in-place leases is determined based on management’s assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased.

The amount allocated to unamortized lease origination costs is determined by what the Company would have paid to a third-party to secure a new tenant reduced by the expired term of the respective lease. The amount allocated to tenant relationships is the benefit resulting from the likelihood of a tenant renewing its lease. Amortization expense related to these assets was approximately $4,382 during each period for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Deferred Leasing Costs. Costs incurred in connection with successful property leases are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and amortized to leasing commission expense on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases which generally range from one to five years. Deferred leasing costs consist of third-party leasing commissions. Management re-evaluates the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of the tenants and economic and market conditions change. If management determines the estimated remaining life of the respective lease has changed, the amortization period is adjusted. At March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, the Company had net deferred leasing costs of approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was approximately $124,822. Total amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $105,821.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had approximately $7.2 million and $6.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively, of which approximately $3.1 million and $3.7 million represented restricted cash, respectively.  The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Items classified as cash equivalents include money market funds and short-term bonds. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). No losses have been experienced related to such accounts. At March 31, 2024 and  December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $1.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in deposits in financial institutions that exceeded the federally insurable limits. Restricted cash consists of funds held in escrow for Company lenders for properties held as collateral by the lenders. The funds in escrow are for payment of property taxes, insurance, leasing costs and capital expenditures. 

Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. We generally reclassify assets to "held for sale" when the disposition has been approved, it is available for immediate sale in its present condition, we are actively seeking a buyer, and the disposition is considered probable within one year.  Additionally, real estate sold during the current period is classified as “real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate sold during the current period are classified as “notes payable related to real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we record the operating results related to real estate that has been disposed of as discontinued operations for all periods presented if the operations have been eliminated and represent a strategic shift and we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property following the sale.  As of March 31, 2024, no commercial property met the criteria to be classified as "held for sale" and 11 model homes were classified as held for sale.

Deferred Offering Costs. Deferred offering costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to our offerings. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we have incurred approximately $21,750 and $5,000, respectively, in deferred offering costs as of the end of each period related to our registration statement on Form S-3. 

Impairments of Real Estate Assets. We regularly review for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Impairment is recognized on a property held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than the carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows, including, but not limited to, revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over long periods. Since our properties typically have a long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of carrying value requires significant management judgment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Although our strategy is to hold our properties over the long-term, if our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair value and such loss could be material.

We review the carrying value of each of our real estate properties regularly to determine if circumstances indicate an impairment in the carrying value of these investments exists. During the three months ended  March 31, 2024, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $0.1 million, related to four model homes, three of which already had an impairment as of December 31, 2023.

The new impairment charges for the four model homes reflects the estimated sales prices for these specific model homes in April and May 2024 as a result of an abnormally short hold period, less than two years, on model homes purchased in 2022.  The builder changed their product style in the neighborhoods where these model homes are located, in Texas, after we had purchased the homes.  We do not believe these losses are indicative of our overall model home portfolio.  As noted below in footnote 3 - Recent Real Estate Transactions, during the three months ended  March 31, 2024 we sold 27 model homes for approximately $12.6 million and the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $2.0 million.  We expect to record a net gain on model home sales in the second quarter of 2024 as well. The Company did not recognize a non-cash impairment to our real estate assets during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements.  Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if long-lived assets are deemed to be impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The guidance requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:

When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement.

Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third-party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third-party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. As of March 31, 2024, we did not hold any marketable securities, excluding our investments in Conduit's common stock and common stock warrants.  As of  December 31, 2023, our marketable securities (excluding our investments in Conduit's common stock and common stock warrants), held at a third party broker, presented on the consolidated balance sheets within other assets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices and totaled approximately $45,149, with a cost basis of approximately  $40,315. Our investments in Conduit's common stock and common stock warrants presented on the consolidated balance sheets were measured at fair value using Level 1 market prices, taking into account the adoption of ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, and totaled approximately $14.5 million and $18.3 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with a cost basis of approximately $7.5 million.  The Company entered into a lock-up agreement with Conduit regarding certain of the common stock held by the Company, for 180 days from the closing of the business combination which ended March 20, 2024.  There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Earnings per share (“EPS”). The EPS on common stock has been computed pursuant to the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share.  The guidance requires the classification of the Company’s unvested restricted stock, which contains rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends, as participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing net income per share of common stock.  In accordance with the two-class method, earnings per share have been computed by dividing the net income less net income attributable to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding in accordance with the treasury stock method.

Dilutive common stock equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common stock equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common stock shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. Securities that are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common stock, because their inclusion would have been antidilutive, are:

Variable Interest Entity. We determine whether an entity is a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. Our determination of whether an entity in which we hold a direct or indirect variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether we participated in the design of the entity and the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. We make judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary.

We analyze any investments in VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate our direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. A reporting entity is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Determining which reporting entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment.

We consider a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, including, but not limited to, the ability to direct operating decisions and activities. In addition, we consider the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions. We determine whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time we become involved with a variable interest entity and reconsider that conclusion continually.  We consolidate any VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary.

The Company was involved in the formation of an entity considered to be a VIE, prior to September 22, 2023, when Murphy Canyon completed its business combination. The Company evaluated the consolidation of this entity as required pursuant to ASC Topic 810 relating to the consolidation of such VIE. The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties have the power to direct activities of the VIE and are exposed to the majority of the risks and rewards of the entity.  

Following the completion of the Murphy Canyon IPO in January 2022, we determined that Murphy Canyon was a VIE in which we had a variable interest because we participated in its formation and design, manage the significant activities, and Murphy Canyon did not have enough equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We have also determined that Murphy Canyon's public stockholders did not have substantive rights, and their equity interest constituted temporary equity, outside of permanent equity, in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A. As such, we have concluded that, prior to the business combination, we were the primary beneficiary of Murphy Canyon as a VIE, as we had the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity, as well as the power to direct a majority of the activities that significantly impacted Murphy Canyon's economic performance. Since we were the primary beneficiary, Murphy Canyon was consolidated into our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

Shares Subject to Possible Redemption. Given that the shares of Murphy Canyon Class A common stock issued to investors in its IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., public warrants which were classified as permanent equity as described below), the proceeds and initial carrying value of the Class A common stock classified as temporary equity was allocated in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Murphy Canyon Class A common stock was subject to ASC 480-10-S99. In addition, because it was probable that the equity instrument would become redeemable, we had the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it became probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occurred and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. We elected to recognize the accretion resulting from changes in redemption value immediately during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and every quarter since then, until September 22, 2023 as noted above.  See Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies for additional details regarding Murphy Canyon.

Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.  In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, to (1) clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820.  The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value.  It also requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions:

For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.  The Company has adopted this guidance during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes, to enhance income tax disclosures, provide more information about tax risks and opportunities present in worldwide operations, and to disaggregate existing income tax disclosures. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet adopted ASU 2023-09 and are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting, establishing improvements to reportable segments disclosures to enhance segment reporting under Topic 280. This ASU aims to change how public entities identify and aggregate operating segments and apply quantitative thresholds to determine their reportable segments. This ASU also requires public entities that operate as a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures in Topic 280, not just entity level disclosures. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and the amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We have not yet adopted ASU 2023-07 and are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statement disclosures.
