−Removed: The FASB’s Accounting Standards Update
−Removed: (“ASU”) 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842)” sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation
−Removed: and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors).
−Removed: The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach,
−Removed: classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed
−Removed: purchase by the lessee.
−Removed: This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method
−Removed: or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
−Removed: A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
−Removed: for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.
−Removed: Leases with a term of 12 months or less will
−Removed: be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today.
−Removed: The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using
−Removed: an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.
−Removed: For leases entered into on or after the effective
−Removed: date, where the Company is the lessor, at the inception of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is a sales-type, direct
−Removed: financing or operating lease by reviewing the terms of the lease and determining if the lessee obtains control of the underlying asset
−Removed: implicitly or explicitly.
−Removed: If a change to a pre-existing lease occurs, the Company evaluates if the modification results in a separate
−Removed: new lease or a modified lease.
−Removed: A new lease results when a modification provides additional right of use.
−Removed: The new lease or modified lease
−Removed: is then reassessed to determine its classification based on the modified terms.
−Removed: As disclosed in Note 3, on January 1, 2019, the Chino
−Removed: Valley lease was modified to increase the monthly base rent from $35,000 to $40,000.
−Removed: On May 31, 2020, the Chino Valley lease was modified
−Removed: to decrease the monthly base rent from $40,000 to $32,800 and the Tempe lease was modified to increase the monthly base rent from $33,500
−Removed: On August 23, 2021 and effective September 1, 2021, the Chino Valley lease was amended, and the monthly base rent was increased
−Removed: to $55,195 due to additional space of 27,312 square feet being leased to the lessee.
−Removed: On January 24, 2022 and effective on March 1, 2022,
−Removed: the Chino Valley lease was amended and the monthly base rent was increased to $87,581 due to additional space of 30,000 square feet being
−Removed: leased to the lessee, increasing the premises to a total of 97,312 square feet of operational space.
−Removed: In connection with this lease amendment,
−Removed: the Company paid $500,000 to the tenant as a tenant improvement allowance or lease incentive for investment into the premises, which
−Removed: was capitalized as a lease incentive receivable and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term as a reduction
−Removed: to the lease income.
−Removed: The increase in monthly rent was commensurate with the additional space being leased;
−Removed: therefore, this modification
−Removed: qualifies as a separate contract under ASC 842 which does not require lease classification reassessment.
−Removed: The Company records revenues from rental properties
−Removed: for its operating leases where it is the lessor on a straight-line basis.
−Removed: Any revenue on the straight-line basis exceeding the monthly
−Removed: payment amount required on the operating lease is reflected as a deferred rent receivable.
−Removed: Effective May 31, 2020, the Company amended
−Removed: its leases for which it is the lessor on its Chino Valley, Tempe, Kingman and Green Valley properties.
−Removed: The amendments resulted in an abatement
−Removed: of rent for the months of June and July 2020.
−Removed: Additionally, in connection with an operating lease on the Company’s Michigan property
−Removed: acquired in December 2022, the Company abated certain lease payments for the period from December 2022 to March 2023.
−Removed: These rent abatements
−Removed: resulted in an aggregate deferred rent receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $204,079 and $164,770, respectively (see Note 3).
−Removed: Additionally, if the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes,
−Removed: are owned by the tenant or the Company.
−Removed: When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have
−Removed: taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed.
−Removed: When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the
−Removed: form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive receivable and amortized as a
−Removed: reduction of revenue over the lease term.
−Removed: For contracts entered into on or after the effective
−Removed: date, where the Company is the lessee, at the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
−Removed: The Company’s assessment is based on:
−Removed: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain
−Removed: the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether we have the right
−Removed: to direct the use of the asset.
−Removed: The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative
−Removed: stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
−Removed: For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily for the Company’s administrative
−Removed: office lease, the Company analyzed if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance
−Removed: sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.
−Removed: Operating lease right of use asset represents
−Removed: the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future
−Removed: minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.
−Removed: As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its
−Removed: incremental borrowing rate of 6% based on the information available at the adoption date or execution of a lease agreement in determining
−Removed: the present value of future payments.
−Removed: Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term
−Removed: and is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
−Removed: Investment in joint ventures
−Removed: We have equity investments in various privately
−Removed: held entities.
−Removed: We account for these investments either under the equity method or cost method of accounting depending on our ownership
−Removed: interest and level of influence.
−Removed: Investments accounted for under the equity method are recorded based upon the amount of our investment
−Removed: and adjusted each period for our share of the investee’s income or loss.
−Removed: Investments are reviewed for changes in circumstance or
−Removed: the occurrence of events that suggest an other than temporary event where our investment may not be recoverable.
−Removed: We evaluate our investments
−Removed: in these entities for consolidation.
−Removed: We consider our percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable
−Removed: interest entity exists when determining whether or not the investment qualifies for consolidation or if it should be accounted for as
−Removed: an unconsolidated investment under either the equity method of accounting.
−Removed: If an investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting,
−Removed: our investment is recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions.
−Removed: The net income or loss of an unconsolidated investment is allocated to its investors in accordance with the provisions of the operating
−Removed: agreement of the entity.
−Removed: The allocation provisions in these agreements may differ from the ownership interest held by each investor.
−Removed: Differences, if any, between the carrying amount of our investment in the respective joint venture and our share of the underlying equity
−Removed: of such unconsolidated entity are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets as applicable.
−Removed: These items are reported
−Removed: as a single line item in the statements of operations as income or loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliated entities.
−Removed: Revenue recognition
−Removed: We follow ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
−Removed: with Customers (“ASC 606”).
−Removed: This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for
−Removed: revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.
−Removed: ASC 606 requires an entity
−Removed: to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to
−Removed: which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.
−Removed: Rental income includes base rents that each tenant
−Removed: pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the
−Removed: lease, which includes the effects of rent abatements under the leases.
−Removed: The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant
−Removed: takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for
−Removed: its intended use.
−Removed: Currently, the Company’s leases provide
−Removed: for payments with fixed monthly base rents over the term of the leases.
