TEJON RANCH CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company, Tejon, we, us and our), furnishedprovided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements.
The periods ending March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 include the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC’s statement of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment and statements of cash flows. The Company’s March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 balance sheets and statements of changes in equity and noncontrolling interests are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC.
The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We use segment profit or loss, along with equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, as the primary measure of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.
The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, and the timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.
For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Lease AccountingAllowance for Credit Losses
In FebruaryJune 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)," changing the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. The ASU will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. The ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.


The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. The Company's implementation efforts include, but are not limited to, identifying key interpretive issues, assessing its policies and processes, and evaluating related control activities to determine if modifications or enhancements may be required. The Company's accounts receivable balance is primarily composed of crop receivables. Based on historical experience with our current customers and periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. With regards to the marketable securities, as the Company limits its investment to securities with investment grade rating from Moody's or Standard and Poor's, and it generally does not sell securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, we do not expect this ASU to have any material impact on its accounting of marketable securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". This ASU removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, such as disclosure of amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and adds new disclosure requirements, such as disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. The Company does not expect this ASU to have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not have financial instruments classified as Level 3.
Retirement Benefits
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." This ASU removes certain disclosure requirements, including the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer. This ASU also requires additional disclosures for the weighted average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit plan obligation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use, or ROU, model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee. From the lessor's perspective, the new standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease willEntities are prohibited from using a full retrospective transition approach to adopt this guidance, and a modified retrospective approach is required to be treated as a sale if it transfersused for all leases that exist at or commence after the beginning of the risks and rewards, as well as controlearliest comparative period presented. Entities are permitted to elect a package of expedients where an entity need not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases.


In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, "Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842," which permits entities to elect a transition practical expedient to not assess land easements that exist or expired before the adoption of the underlying asset,new standard in order to reduce the costs and complexity of complying with the transition provisions. If this practical expedient is elected, entities are effectively allowed to grandfather the accounting for easements entered into prior to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed withoutadoption of the transfer of control,new standards.
In July 2018, the lease is treated asFASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements to Leases (Topic 842)," which allows entities to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements. Under this transition option, entities can continue to apply the legacy guidance in the comparative periods presented in the year they adopt the new standard. ASU No. 2018-11 also provides a financing lease. Ifpractical expedient for lessors to combine the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results.
The ASU is effective no later than January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires the identification of lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. This ASU will govern the recognition of revenue for lease components. Revenue relatedunder certain circumstances to non-lease components under our lease agreements will be subject tosimplify lessor's implementation of the new revenue recognition standardguidance.
The Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842: Leases, or ASC 842, became effective upon adoption of the new


lease accounting standard.on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new standards using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2019. The optional transition method was elected during this transition, and comparative information is not restated and will continue to be reported under the legacy guidance. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients and will account for its existing leases under the new guidance without reassessing its prior conclusions of lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.
Lessee Impact:
The Company currently leases several office copiers under 48-month lease terms. On January 1, 2019, an operating lease ROU asset and an operating lease liability were recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, both in the processamount of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Postretirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)", which requires employers who offer defined benefit pension plans or other post-retirement benefit plans to report the service cost component within the same income statement caption$52,000, as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. The ASU also requires the other components of net periodic benefit cost to be presented separately from the service cost component, in a caption outside of a subtotal of income from operations. Additionally, the ASU provides that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. As a result of adopting the adoption,new guidance. The $52,000 was determined by calculating the Company reclassified $194,000 from Corporate expenses to Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Other Income
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05 "Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)", effective for the annual reporting period beginning after the December 15, 2017, including the interim reporting period within that period. This update provides guidance on the recognition of gains and losses on transfers of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to counterparties that are not customers.
As of January 1, 2018, the Company began accounting for the sale of real estate properties under Subtopic 610-20 which provides for revenue recognition based on transfer of ownership.
The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect, if any, recognized aspresent value of the datefuture annual cash lease payments using a discount rate of adoption.4.11%. The Company selected4.11% discount rate represents the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of the standard did not result in a cumulative adjustment recognizedCompany's incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2018 and2019. The implementation of the standardnew standards did not have any impact on the Company’s prior period financial statements. Duringconsolidated statements of operations or the quarter ended March 31, 2018,opening balance of retained earnings on the consolidated statements of equity.
Lessor Impact:
The Company elected the land easement practical expedient upon adoption of the new guidance and is thus permitted to continue its current accounting policy for land easements that exist or expired before the effective date of the adoption. The Company will evaluate new or modified land easements under ASC 842 beginning on the adoption date of the new guidance.
Additionally, the Company hadelected the lessor's practical expedient and combined the lease and non-lease components due to the following criteria being met: (i) the timing and pattern of recognizing revenue for the lease components are the same as its associated non-lease components, (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease, and (iii) the lease component is the predominant component within the contract. The Company believes that combining the lease component, which is the lease revenue, and non-lease components such as common area maintenance revenue and provisions of real estate taxes and insurance, will provide more meaningful information as it is more reflective of the predominant component in the lease contracts.


We expect no sales or transferssignificant differences in the timing and pattern of nonfinancial assetsrevenue recognition under the new lease guidance for all our existing leases from the lessor's perspective. For new leases originated after the adoption date, we expect to customers.capitalize less initial direct cost, as the definition of initial direct cost is narrower under the new guidance. Certain costs, such as legal costs incurred, were eligible for capitalization under the legacy guidance, but are no longer eligible for capitalization under the new standards. The amounts capitalized as legal costs have been de minimis in the past and would not have a material impact to our results of operations.
Financial InstrumentsDerivatives and Hedging
In January 2016,August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10)No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which amends the hedge accounting model and allows entities to better portray the economics of their risk management activities in their financial statements. This guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires equity investmentsthe entire change in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity methodfair value of accounting)a hedging instrument to be measured at fair valuepresented in the same income statement line as hedged item. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The Company utilizes an interest rate swap to hedge its exposure to variable interest rate associated with changes in fair valueborrowings based on London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge, and the hedge has been highly effective since inception. Therefore, no cumulative effective adjustment of previously recognized in net income. There will no longerineffectiveness was required to be recorded as a result of adopting this new guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an available-for-sale classification for equity securities with readily determinable fair values.impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
We adoptedIn October 2018, the newFASB issued ASU during the first quarter of 2018. The ASU requires the useNo. 2018-16, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the modified retrospective transition method, underSecured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes". This ASU identified SOFR as the preferred reference rate alternative to LIBOR. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. For a more detailed discussion of the benchmark interest rate, see Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to equity investments with readily determinable fair values will be reclassifiedallows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. government’s comprehensive tax legislation enacted in December 2017, commonly referred to as U.S. Tax Reform. The guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 upon adoption2019, and the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU. Thethe guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values will be applied prospectively to all investments that exist as of the date of adoption.effective date. The adoption of this new ASUCompany did not impactmake an election to reclassify the Company's investment portfolio as it is comprised of fixed income investments and not equity investments.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.


The guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principaltax effects of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The five-step model requires that we (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "RevenueU.S Tax Reform from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." ASU 2016-08 provides specific guidance to determine whether an entity is providing a specified good or service itself or is arranging for the good or service to be provided by another party.
Entities can use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method to adopt this ASU. Under the full retrospective method, all periods presented will be restated upon adoption to conform to the new standard and a cumulative adjustment for effects on periods prior to 2016 will be recordedAOCI to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. Under the modified retrospective approach, prior periods are not restated to conform to the new standard. Instead, a cumulative adjustment for effects of applying the new standard to periods prior to 2018 is recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Additionally, incremental footnote disclosures are required to present the 2018 revenues under the prior standard. Under the modified retrospective method, an entity may also elect to apply the standard to either (i) all contracts as of January 1, 2018, or (ii) only to contracts that are not completed as of January 1, 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, we adopted the revenue recognition ASU using the full retrospective method.
Based on our evaluation of all contracts within scope, under previous accounting standards, and under the new revenue recognition ASU, we noted no significant differences in the amounts recognized or the pattern of recognition. Management however noted that the application of Topic 606 impacts the accounting for land sales where the Company has continued involvement or performance obligations that are essential to the land sale. Previous guidance required the Company to recognize revenue from land sales with continued involvement using a percentage completion method based on the total cost of the performance obligations. After adopting Topic 606, the Company was required to allocate the transaction price, on land sales with multiple performance obligations, to the performance obligations in proportion to their standalone selling prices (i.e., on a relative standalone selling price basis) and not total costs.
During 2016, the Company sold a land parcel to a third party. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company was obligated to complete specific infrastructure and landscaping adjacent to the land parcel that were deemed essential to the third party. When applying the guidance under Topic 606, the purchase price allocated to the multiple performance obligations yielded a different result than when applying the current guidance.
Under the previous guidance, during the second quarter of 2017, the Company recognized $475,000 and $411,000 of revenues and profit from sale of land, respectively. Under Topic 606, the Company, during the second quarter, will recognize $73,000 and $9,000 of revenues and profit from sale of land, respectively.
No other differences were noted during our evaluation.earnings.

3.     MARKETABLE SECURITIES
ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company has elected to classify its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date. All costs and both realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at:

We evaluate our securities for other-than-temporary impairment based on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding each security valued below its cost. Factors considered include the length of time the securities have been valued below cost, the financial condition of the issuer, industry reports related to the issuer, the severity of any decline, our intention not to sell the security, and our assessment as to whether it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before a recovery of its amortized cost basis. We then segregate the loss between the amounts representing a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected, or the credit loss, which is recognized through earnings, and the balance of the loss, which is recognized through other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2018,2019, the fair market value of investment securities was $500,000 less than$187,000 below their cost basis.
As of March 31, 2018, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss in consolidated equity for the temporary change in the value of securities reflected an increase in the market value of available-for-sale securities of $302,000, which includes estimated taxes of $64,000. As of March 31, 2018, the The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $3,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $503,000.$190,000. The Company has determined that any unrealized losses in the portfolio were temporary as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected an improvement in market value of $202,000, including estimated taxes of $42,000.

5.     LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS
Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County. Company-banked water costs also include costs related to the right to receive additional acre-feet of water in the future from the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency, or AVEK. The Company has also banked water within an AVEK ownedAVEK-owned water bank.

We have also been purchasing water for future use or sale. In 2008, we purchased8,393 acre-feet of transferable water and in 2009 we purchased an additional 6,393 acre-feet of transferable water,water, all of which is currently held on our behalf by AVEK or has been placednow stored in the Company's water bank. We also have secured State Water Project, or SWP, entitlement under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to AVEK for our use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre feetacre-feet of water each year from the Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.
The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 20182019 is $738$769 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 3%.
The water purchased above will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as just described.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold 7,442 acre-feet of water to three different customers totaling $7,992,000 with aWater revenues and cost of $3,679,000, which was recordedsales were as follows ($ in the mineral resources segment on the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.thousands):

On October 13, 2014, the Company as borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a Term Note and a Revolving Line of Credit Note or collectively(collectively, the Credit Facility,Facility) with Wells Fargo. The Credit Facility added a $70,000,000 term loan, or Term Loan, to the existing $30,000,000 revolving line of credit, or RLC. Funds from the Term Loan were used to finance the Company's purchase of DMB TMV LLC’s interest in TMV LLC. LLC in 2014.
The Term Loan had outstanding balances of $61,561,000 and $62,483,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is LIBOR (as defined in the Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the term of the Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.11%. The Term Loan requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due October 5, 2024. The Company may make voluntary prepayments on the Term Loan at any time without penalty (excluding any applicable LIBOR or interest rate swap breakage costs). Each optional prepayment will be applied to reduce the most remote principal payment then unpaid. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.
The RLC had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of this RLC (which matures in September 2019), we can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary. We anticipate renewing the RLC in September 2019 at similar terms as the expiring terms.


Any future borrowings under the RLC will be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the RLC, undrawn amounts under the RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties.
Aswarranties, which are typical in this type of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the RLC had no outstanding balance. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR average or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of the Credit Facility (which matures in September 2019), we can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.
The Term Loan had outstanding balances of $65,162,000 and $66,046,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is LIBOR (as defined in the Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the term of the Term Loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.11%. The Term Loan required interest-only payments for the first two years of the term and thereafter requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due October 5, 2024. The Company may make voluntary prepayments on the Term Loan at any time without penalty (excluding any applicable LIBOR or interest rate swap breakage costs). Each optional prepayment will be applied to reduce the most remote principal payment then unpaid. The Credit Facility


is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables, the power plant lease and lease site, and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.borrowing arrangement.
The Credit Facility requires compliance with three financial covenants: (a)(i) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; (b)(ii) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (c)(iii) maintain liquid assets equal to or greater than $20,000,000.$20,000,000, including availability on RLC. At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
The Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, or incur liens on any assets.
The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency; and a change in control without consent of the bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.
In 2013, we entered into a promissory note agreement, secured by real estate, with CMFG Life Insurance Company to pay a principal amount of $4,750,000 with principal and interest due monthly starting on October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with monthly principal and interest payments of $102,700$36,000 ending on September 1, 2028. The proceeds from this promissory note were used to eliminate debt that had been previously used to provide long-term financing for a building being leased to Starbucks and provide additional working capital for future investment. The current balance on the promissory note is $3,627,000.was $3,347,000 on March 31, 2019. The balance of this long-term debt instrument included in "Notes payable" above approximates the fair value of the instrument.

9.     STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as corporate cash flow goals;goals, or Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum

achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance milestones.milestones, or Performance Milestone Grants. The Company has also granted performance share grants that contain both performance-based and market-based conditions. Compensation cost for these awards is recognized based on either the achievement of the performance-based conditions, if they are considered probable, or if they are not considered probable, on the achievement of the market-based condition. Failure to satisfy the threshold performance conditions will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions resultswill result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions doesdo not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.
The following is a summary of the Company's performance share grants with performance conditions forPerformance Condition Grants as of the three months ended March 31, 2018:2019:

The unamortized costscost associated with nonvestedunvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of March 31, 20182019 were $6,930,000$5,695,000 and 2421 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. Fair value of performance share grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant once the Company determines that it is probable that the award will vest. This fair value is expensed over the service period applicable to these grants. For performance share grants that contain a range of shares from zero to a maximum we determine based on historic and projected results, the probability of (1) achieving the performance objective and (2) the level of achievement. Based on this information, we determine the fair value of the award and measure the expense over the service period related to these grants. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance share grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, we estimate whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, we adjust compensation cost according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.
Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, or NDSI Plan, each non-employee director receives his or her annual compensation in stock. The stock is granted at the end of each quarter based on the quarter end stock price.

10.     INTEREST RATE SWAP LIABILITY
DuringIn October 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the Term Note as discussed in Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt). The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate swap agreement is required to be recognized directly in earnings. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018,2019, our interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective; because of this, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings.effective. Changes in fair value, including accrued interest and adjustments for non-performance risk, on the effective portion of our interest rate swap agreements that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income.AOCI. Amounts classified in accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement aggregating a liability balance was classified in other liabilities.less than its cost basis and as such is recorded within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

11.     INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company's income tax expense was $526,000$95,000 compared to income tax benefit of $1,332,000$526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. These represent effective income2018. Effective tax rates of approximatelywere 43% and 27% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and, 2017, respectively. The increase in effective tax rates resulted from tax shortfalls associated with stock compensation vesting. As of March 31, 2018, we2019, the Company had income tax receivablereceivables of $1,060,000.$181,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company did not make any income tax payments. The Company did not record a provisional adjustment for the three-months ended March 31, 2019.



12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company's land is subject to water contracts with minimum annual payments, in 2018 of approximately $8,889,000, offor which $6,124,000 was paid during the first quarter with the remainder$10,156,000 is expected to be paid throughoutin 2019. So far in 2019, the year.Company has paid $7,038,000 for its water contracts. These estimated water contract payments consist of SWP, contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, Tejon-Castac Water District, or TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. As discussed in Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets), we purchased the


assignment of a contract to purchase water in late 2013. The assigned water contract is with Nickel and obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through the term of the contract. Our contractual obligation for future water payments was $253,040,000 as of March 31, 2019.
The Company is obligated to make payments of approximately $800,000 per year through 2021 to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy as prescribed in the Conservation Agreement we entered into with five major environmental organizations in 2008. Our advances to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are dependent on the occurrence of certain events and their timing and are therefore subject to change in amount and period. These amounts are recordedpaid will be capitalized in real estate development for the Centennial, Grapevine and Mountain Village, or MV, projects.
The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fees will not be finalized until the future payment dates. The Company believes that net savings from exiting the contract over this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC, TRPFFA has created two Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $55,000,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $65,000,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.
In connection with the sale of bonds, there is a standby letter of credit for $4,921,000$4,468,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. The letter of credit is for two years and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $83,000.$68,000.





The Company is obligated, as a landowner in each CFD, to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. At March 31, 20182019 there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds and therebonds. There are $6,383,000$4,180,000 in improvement funds within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during 20182019 and future years. During the second quarter of 2018,2019 the Company willexpects to pay approximately $1,258,000$2,570,000 in special taxes and it is estimated the company will pay $2,570,000 for the year.taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize an obligation at March 31, 2018.2019.


Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Litigation
In July 2014, the Company received a copy of a Notice of Intent to Sue, dated July 17, 2014 indicating that the Center for Biological Diversity, or CBD, the Wishtoyo Foundation and Dee Dominguez intend(collectively the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs) intended to initiate a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or USFWS, under the federal Endangered Species Act challenging USFWS's approval of Ranchcorp'sthe Company's Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, or TMSHCP, and USFWS's issuance of an Incidental Take Permit, to Ranchcorpor ITP, for the take of federally-listedfederally listed species. The foregoingTUMSHCP approval and ITP issuance by the USFWS occurred in 2013. These approvals authorize, among other things, the removal of California condor habitat associated with Ranchcorp'sthe Company's potential future development of MV. No lawsuit has been
On April 25, 2019, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs filed atsuit against the USFWS in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, in Los Angeles (Case No. 2:19-CV-3322), or TUMSHCP Suit. The Company is presently not named as a party in the TUMSHCP Suit. The TUMSHCP Suit seeks to invalidate the TUMSHCP as it pertains to the protection of the California condor (an endangered species), as well as the ITP.
The primary allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit are that California condors or their habitat are “Traditional Cultural Properties” within the meaning of the National Historic Preservation Act and that the USFWS failed to adequately consult with affected Native American tribes or their representatives with respect to the impact of the TUMSHCP and ITP on these “Traditional Cultural Properties.”
Management considers the allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit to be beyond the scope of the law and regulations referenced in the TUMSHCP Suit, and believes that the issues raised by the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs were adequately addressed by the USFWS during the consultation process with Native American tribes. The Company intends to coordinate closely with the USFWS to vigorously defend this time. It ismatter. The TUMSHCP Plaintiffs raised essentially the same arguments regarding the Native American consultation process and the California condor in state court litigation. In that litigation, the California Court of Appeal rejected the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs’ arguments as lacking merit. See Center for Biological Diversity, et al.v. Kern County, 2012 WL 1417682 (Case No. F061908). That state appellate court decision was issued on April 25, 2012.
The Company believes the TUMSHCP Suit does not possibleimpede on the ability to predict whether any lawsuit will actually be filedstart or whethercomplete the Company or Ranchcorp will incur any damages from such a lawsuit.development of MV development.


National Cement
The Company leases land to National Cement Company of California Inc., or National, for the purpose of manufacturing Portland cement from limestone deposits on the leased acreage. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, or RWQCB, for the Lahontan Region issued orders in the late 1990s with respect to environmental conditions on the property currently leased to National.
The Company's former tenant Lafarge Corporation, or Lafarge, and current tenant National, continue to remediate these environmental conditions consistent with the RWQCB orders.
The Company is not aware of any failure by Lafarge or National to comply with directives of the RWQCB. Under current and prior leases, National and Lafarge are obligated to indemnify the Company for costs and liabilities arising out of their use of the leased premises. The remediation of environmental conditions is included within the scope of the National or Lafarge indemnity obligations. If the Company were required to remediate the environmental conditions at its own cost, it is unlikely that the amount of any such expenditure by the Company would be material and there is no reasonable likelihood of continuing risk from this matter.
Antelope Valley Groundwater Cases
On November 29, 2004, a conglomerate of public water suppliers filed a cross-complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court seeking a judicial determination of the rights to groundwater within the Antelope Valley basin, including the groundwater underlying the Company’s land near the Centennial project. Four phases of a multi-phase trial have been completed. Upon completion of the third phase, the court ruled that the groundwater basin was in overdraft and established a current total sustainable yield. The fourth phase of trial occurred in the first half of 2013 and resulted in confirmation of each party’s groundwater pumping for 2011 and 2012. The fifth phase of the trial commenced in February 2014, and concerned 1) whether the United States has a federal reserved water right to basin groundwater, and 2) the rights to return flows from imported water. The court heard evidence on the federal reserved right but continued the trial on the return flow issues while most of the parties to the adjudication discussed a settlement, including rights to return flows. In February 2015, more than 140 parties representing more than 99% of the current water use within the adjudication boundary agreed to a settlement. On March 4, 2015, the settling parties, including Tejon, submitted a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution to the court for approval. On December 23, 2015, the court entered Judgmentjudgment approving the Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution.Solution, or Judgment. The Company’s water supply plan for the Centennial project anticipated reliance on, among other sources, a certain quantity of groundwater underlying the Company’s lands in the Antelope Valley. The Company’s allocation in the Judgment is consistent with that amount. Prior to the Judgment becoming final, on February 19 and 22, 2016, several parties, including the Willis Class and Phelan Pinon Hills Community Services District, filed notices of appeal from the Judgment. The Appeal has been transferred from the Fourth Appellate District to the Fifth Appellate District.


Appellate briefing will likelyis scheduled to occur during 2018.in 2019. Notwithstanding the appeals, the parties, with assistance from the Court have established the Watermaster Board, hired the Watermaster Engineer and Watermaster Legal Counsel, and begun administering the Physical Solution, consistent with the Judgment.


Summary and Status of Kern Water Bank Lawsuits
On June 3, 2010, the Central Delta and South Delta Water Agencies and several environmental groups, including the CBD, (collectively,or collectively, Central Delta),Delta Petitioners, filed a complaint in the Sacramento County Superior Court against the California Department of Water Resources, or DWR, Kern County Water Agency, or KCWA, and a number of “real parties in interest,” including the Company and TCWD.TCWD, or Central Delta Action.  The lawsuit challenges certain amendments to the SWP contracts that were originally approved in 1995, known as the Monterey Amendments. The Central Delta Petitioners in this action sought to invalidate the DWR's approval of the Monterey Amendments and also the 2010 environmental documentationimpact report, or 2010 EIR, regarding the Monterey Amendments prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, pertaining to the Kern Water Bank, or KWB.
The original Environmental Impact Report, or EIR, for Pursuant to the Monterey Amendments, was determined to be insufficientDWR transferred approximately 20,000 acres in an earlier lawsuit. The current lawsuit principally (i) challenges the adequacy of the remedial EIR thatKern County owned by DWR, prepared as a result of the original lawsuit and (ii) challenges the validity of the Monterey Amendments on various grounds, including the transfer of theor KWB lands, from DWRproperty, to the Kern County Water Agency and in turn to the Kern Water Bank Authority,KCWA.
A separate but parallel lawsuit, or KWBA, whose members are various Kern and Kings County interests, including TCWD, which has a 2% interest in the KWBA. A parallel lawsuitCentral Delta II, was also filed by the Central Delta Petitioners in Kern County Superior Court on July 2, 2010, against Kern County Water Agency,KCWA, also naming the Company and TCWD as real parties in interest, whichinterest. Central Delta II challenged the validity of the transfer of the KWB property from the KCWA to the Kern Water Bank Authority, or KWBA. The petitioners in this case alleged that (i) the transfer of the KWB property by KCWA to the KWBA was an unconstitutional gift of public funds, (ii) and the consideration for the transfer of the KWB property to the KWBA was unconscionable and illusory. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of the other action against DWR.  The Company is named on the ground that it “controls” TCWD.  This lawsuit has since been moved to the Sacramento County Superior Court. AnotherCentral Delta Action.
In addition, another lawsuit was filed in Kern County Superior Court on June 3, 2010, by two districts adjacent to the KWB, namely Rosedale Rio Bravo and Buena Vista Water Storage Districts, or collectively, the Rosedale Petitioners, asserting that the remedial2010 EIR did not adequately evaluate potential impacts arising from operations of the KWB, or Rosedale Action, but this lawsuit did not name the Company,Company; it only named TCWD. TCWD has a contract right for water stored in the KWB and rights to recharge and withdraw water. This lawsuit has since beenwas moved to the Sacramento County Superior Court.
In the Central Delta Action and Rosedale Action, the trial courts concluded that the 2010 EIR for the Monterey Amendments was insufficient with regard to the EIR's evaluation of the potential impacts of the operation of the KWB, particularly on groundwater and water quality, and ruled that DWR was required to prepare a remedial EIR (which is further described below). In the Central Delta Action, the trial court also concluded that the challenges to DWR’s 1995 approval of the Monterey Amendments were barred by statutes of limitations and laches. The Central Delta Petitioners filed an initial favorable ruling on January 25, 2013,appeal of the court,Sacramento County Superior Court Judgment, and certain real parties filed a cross-appeal. No party appealed the Kern County Superior Court Judgment in the Rosedale Action.
On November 24, 2014, the Sacramento County Superior Court in the Central Delta lawsuit, determined that the challenges to the validity of the Monterey Amendments, including the transfer of the KWB lands, were not timely and were barred by the statutes of limitation, the doctrine of laches, and by the annual validating statute. The substantive hearing on the challenges to the EIR was held on January 31, 2014. On March 5, 2014 the court issued a decision, rejecting all of Central Delta’s CEQA, claims, except the Rosedale claim, joined by Central Delta, that the EIR did not adequately evaluate future impacts from operation of the KWB, in particular the potential impacts on groundwater and water quality.
On November 24, 2014, the courtAction issued a writ of mandate, (theor 2014 Writ)Writ, that required DWR to prepare a revised EIR (described herein as the 2016 EIR because it was certified in 2016) regarding the Monterey Amendments evaluating the potential operational impacts of the KWB. The 2014 Writ, authorized the continued operation of the KWB pending completion of the revised EIR subject to certain conditions, including those described in an interim operating plan negotiated between the KWBA and Rosedale. The 2014 Writ, as revised by the court, required DWR to certify the revised2016 EIR and file the returnresponse to the 2014 Writ by September 28, 2016. On September 20, 2016, the Director of DWR (a) certified the revised2016 EIR prepared by DWR, or the Revised EIR, as in compliance with CEQA, (b) adopted findings, a statement of overriding considerations, and a mitigation, monitoring and reporting program as required by CEQA, (c) made a new finding pertaining to carrying out the Monterey Amendments through continued use and operation of the KWB by the KWBA, and (d) caused a notice of determination to be filed with the Office of Planning and Resources of the State of California on September 22, 2016. On September 28, 2016, DWR filed with the Sacramento Superior Court its return to the 2014 Writ.


On November 24, 2014, the court entered a judgmentWrit in the Central Delta case (1) dismissing the challenges to the validity of the Monterey Amendments and the transfer of the KWB lands in their entirety and (2) granting in part and denying in part the CEQA petition for writ of mandate. Central Delta has appealed the judgment and the KWBA and certain other parties have filed a cross-appeal with regard to certain defenses to the CEQA cause of action. The appeals are pending in the California Court of Appeal.Action.
On December 3, 2014, the court entered judgment in the Rosedale case (i) in favor of Rosedale in the CEQA cause of action, and (ii) dismissing the declaratory relief cause of action. No appeal of the Rosedale judgment has been filed. Rosedale has stipulated to the discharge of the 2014 Writ.

On October 21, 2016, the Central Delta petitionersPetitioners and a new party, the Center for Food Safety, (CFS Petitioners),or CFS, or collectively, the CFS Petitioners, filed a new lawsuit (thein Sacramento County Superior Court, or CFS Petition)Action, against DWR and naming a number of real parties in interest, including KWBA and TCWD (but not including the Company). The new lawsuitCFS Action challenges DWR’s (i) certification of the Revised2016 EIR, (ii) compliance with the 2014 Writ and CEQA, and (iii) finding concerning the continued use and operation of the KWB by KWBA. In response to a motion filed by the CFS Petitioners, on April 7, 2017, the Superior Court denied the CFS Petitioners’ motion to stay the Superior Court proceedings on the return to the 2014 Writ and CFS petition pending appeal. The Superior Court subsequently modified the 2014 Writ to authorize the KWBA to construct an additional 190 acres of recharge ponds within the KWB pending the court's consideration of DWR's return to the 2014 Writ and the petition in CFS vs DWR. On August 18, 2017, the Sacramento County Superior Court held a hearing on the returnresponse to the 2014 Writ and on the CFS Petition.petition filed in this action. On October 2, 2017, the Sacramento County Superior Court issued a ruling that the court shall deny the CFS Petitionpetition and shall discharge the 2014 Writ. The CFS hasPetitioners appealed the Sacramento County Superior Court judgment denying the CFS Petition. DWR has movedpetition.

Grapevine
On December 6, 2016, the Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously granted entitlement approval for the Grapevine project (described below). On January 5, 2017, the CBD, and the Center for Food Safety, or CFS, filed an action in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA, against Kern County and the Kern County Board of Supervisors, (collectively,or collectively, the County)County, concerning the County’s granting of the 2016 approvals for the Grapevine project, including certification of the final EIR and related findings; approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning maps; adoption of Specific Plan Amendment No. 155, Map No. 500; adoption of Special Plan No. 1, Map No. 202; exclusion from Agricultural Preserve No. 19; and adoption of a development agreement, among other associated approvals.EIR. The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ranchcorp, areis named as real parties in interest in this action.
The action alleges that the County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA, including failure to identify, analyze and mitigate impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, traffic, water supply and hydrology, growth inducing impacts, failure to adequately consider project alternatives and to provide support for the County’s findings and statement of overriding considerations in adopting the EIR and failure to adequately describe the environmental setting and project description. On December 6, 2017, the County served a responsive pleading answering petitioners' allegations and denying that relief should be granted. Petitioners seeksought to invalidate the County'sCounty’s approval of the project, the environmental approvals and require the Company and the County to revise the environmental documentation. A case management conference was held on December 15, 2017, at which time
On July 27, 2018, the court orderedheld a hearing on the petitioners’ claims. At that hearing, the court rejected all of petitioners’ claims raised in the litigation, except petitioners’ claims that (i) the project description was inadequate and (ii) such inadequacy resulted in aspects of certain environmental impacts being improperly analyzed. As to the claims described in “(i)” and “(ii)” in the foregoing sentence, the court determined that the hearing on this matter be set for July 27, 2018.EIR was inadequate. In that regard, the court determined the Grapevine project description contained in the EIR allowed development to occur in the time and manner determined by the real parties in interest and, as a consequence, such development flexibility could result in the project’s internal capture rate, or ICR - the percent of vehicle trips remaining within the project - actually being lower than the projected ICR levels used in the EIR and that lower ICR levels warranted supplemental traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, public health and growth inducing impact analyses.




On December 11, 2018, the court ruled that portions of the EIR required corrections and supplemental environmental analysis and ordered that the County rescind the Grapevine project approvals until such supplemental environmental analysis was completed. The court issued a final judgment consistent with its ruling on February 15, 2019 and, on March 12, 2019, the County rescinded the Grapevine project approvals. Following the County’s rescission of the Grapevine project approvals, the Company has filed new applications to re-entitle the Grapevine project, or re-entitlement. The re-entitlement application involves processing project approvals that are substantively similar to the Grapevine project that was unanimously approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors in December of 2016. As part of the re-entitlement, supplemental environmental analysis will be prepared to address the court’s ruling. Following a public comment and review period, the Kern County Planning Commission will hold a hearing to make a recommendation to the Kern County Board of Supervisors on the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. Thereafter, the Kern County Board of Supervisors will hold a hearing to consider the supplemental environmental analysis and whether to act to approve the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. We anticipate possible Kern County Board of Supervisors action occurring in late 2019. Following the Board of Supervisors’ action, further litigation could challenge the re-entitlement.
Proceedings Incidental to Business
From time to time, we are involved in other proceedings incidental to our business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.
The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings after considering available defenses and any insurance coverage or indemnification rights, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows either individually or in the aggregate.

The Company expects to contribute $160,000$165,000 to the Benefit Plan during 2018.2019.
Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy targets 65% equities, 25% debtchanged during the third quarter of 2018. The new policy is an investment strategy in which the primary focus is to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and 10% money market funds. Equitya bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as funded status improves. At both March 31, 2019 and debt investment percentages are generally allowed to fluctuate plus or minus 20% to take advantage of market conditions. As an example, equities could fluctuate from 78% to 52% of plan assets. At MarchDecember 31, 2018, the investment mix was approximately 58%64% equity, 38%35% debt, and 4% money market funds. At December 31, 2017, the investment mix was approximately 57% equity, 37% debt, and 6%1% money market funds. Equity investments consist of a combination of individual equity securities plus value funds, growth funds, large cap funds and international stock funds. Debt investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities and investment grade corporate debt.

The second of these joint ventures, 18-19 West LLC, was formed in August 2009 through the contribution of 61.5 acres of land by the Company, which is being held for future development. Both of these joint ventures are being accounted for under the equity method due to both members having significant participating rights in the management of the ventures.


The third joint venture is the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture whichthat was formed during the second quarterin of 2013 to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square-footsquare foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. The cost of the outlet center was approximately $87,000,000 and was funded through a construction loan for up to 60% of the costs. The remaining 40% was funded through equity contributions from the two members. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC,LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member, and as such we considered the presumption that a managing member controls the limited liability company.member. The managing member's responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions during the development period and ongoing operations, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing and selection of the contractor for any of the project's construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. Therefore, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. The TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture is separate from the aforementioned agreement to potentially develop up to 500 acres of land in TRCC. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture entered intohas a construction line of credit agreement with a financial institution for $52,000,000 that, as of March 31, 2018,2019, had an outstanding balance of $48,284,000.$46,341,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.


Centennial Founders, LLC – Centennial Founders, LLC, or CFL, is a joint venture that was initially formed with TRI Pointe Homes, Lewis Investment Company, or Lewis, and CalAtlantic that was organized to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. Based on the Second Amended and Restated Limited Company Agreement of CFL and the change in control and funding that resulted from the amended agreement, CFL qualified as a VIE beginning in the third quarter of 2009, and the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, CFL has beenwas consolidated into our financial statements beginning in that quarter. Our partners retained a noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. On November 30, 2016, CFL and Lewis Investment Company, or Lewis, entered a Redemption and Withdrawal Agreement, whereby Lewis irrevocably and unconditionally withdrew as a member of CFL, and CFL redeemed Lewis' entire interest for no consideration. As a result, our noncontrolling interest balance was reduced by $11,039,000. On December 31, 2018, CFL and CalAtlantic entered a Redemption and Withdrawal Agreement, whereby CalAtlantic irrevocably and unconditionally withdrew as a member of CFL, and CFL redeemed CalAtlantic's entire interest for no consideration. As a result, the noncontrolling interest balance was reduced by $13,172,000. At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company owned 90.89%92.32% of CFL.

The Company’s investment balance in its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its respective capital accounts in the respective joint ventures.

Through the first three months of 2018 the primary2018. The leading driver of net income was an increase in revenues fromfor this decline is a $2,999,000 decrease for our mineral resources segmentrevenue resulting from fewer water sale opportunities in 2019. This decrease was partially offset by higher equity in earnings of $7,130,000 when compared tounconsolidated joint ventures of $709,000, resulting from the same three-month period last year,increase in our share of earnings from the TA/Petro joint venture, and improved commercial revenue of $672,000, which was primarily as a result of increased water sales.driven by higher lease revenue from the Pastoria Energy Facility.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides a narrative discussion of our results of operations. It contains the results of operations for each reporting segment of the business and is followed by a discussion of our financial position. It is useful to read the reporting segment information in conjunction with Note 14 (Reporting Segments and Related Information) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical ifif: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimates that are likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On an on-goingongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, profit recognitionallocation of costs related to land sales and leases, stock compensation, our future ability to utilize deferred tax assets, and our defined benefit retirement plan. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, other than the following,2019, our critical accounting policies have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies. Please also refer to Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for newly adopted accounting principles.
The accounting policy change is attributable to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “new revenue standard” or Accounting Standards Codification 606, (“ASC 606”)) on January 1,

2018. These revenue recognition policy updates are applied retrospectively in our financial statements from December 1, 2017 forward. Reported financial information for the historical comparable period was revised and reported under the new accounting standard in effect.
Revenue Recognition
Leases subject to ASC 840
Commercial Leases: Rental income from leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We classify amounts currently recognized as income, and amounts expected to be received in later years, as an asset in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amounts received currently, but recognized as income in future years, are classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We commence recognition of rental income at the date the property is ready for its intended use and the client tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property. During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality of our tenants by (i) reviewing the credit rating of tenants that are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency, (ii) reviewing financial statements of the client tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (iii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and (iv) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments. We have employees who are assigned the responsibility for assessing and monitoring the credit quality of our tenants and any material changes in credit quality. The Company’s commercial sales, or land sales, are non-reoccurring in nature, however, for any new land sale, we apply the concepts of this new accounting standard, as amended.
Production Leases: The Company leases land to third parties and recognizes contingent revenue based on the royalty rate that is tied to production for oil and minerals. Royalty revenues are contractually defined as to the percentage of royalty and are tied to production and market prices. The Company’s royalty arrangements generally require payment on a monthly basis with the payment based on the previous month’s activity. The Company accrues monthly royalty revenues based upon estimates and adjusts to actual as the Company receives payments. Productions leases included the following: Oil and gas, cement, and rock aggregate, refer to Note 14, Reporting Segments and Related Information, for further discussion.
Grazing: The Company leases land to third parties for grazing of cattle. Under the terms the lease, we recognize revenue based on the number of cattle the grazing land will support, calculated in arrears.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers subject to ASC 606:
A portion of the Company’s revenues result from the sale of goods or services and reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606. For its customer contracts, the Company identifies the performance obligations (goods or services), determines the transaction price, allocates the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes the revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. A good or service is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that good or service. The majority of the Company’s revenues are recorded at a point in time from the sale of tangible products.
Farming
Almonds and Pistachios: Almond and pistachio revenues are based upon the contract settlement price or estimated selling price. Estimated prices for almonds and pistachios are based upon the quoted estimate of what the final market price established by processors. These market price estimates are updated through the crop installment payments as new information is received as to the final settlement price for the crop sold. This method of recognizing revenues on the sale of orchard crops is a standard practice within the agribusiness community. Adjustments for differences between original estimates and actual revenues received are recorded during the period

in which such amounts become known. Revenue for almonds and pistachios is recognized based on market price estimates when delivered to buyers.
Wine grapes: The Company sells wine grapes based on contracts with third parties. Wine grapes revenue is recognized based on the contract selling price when delivered to buyers.
Hay: Hay sales are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed.
Water sales
Water sales are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed.
Other
Game Management: The Company provides memberships for hunting seasons both on an annual and seasonal basis. Revenue from memberships are recognized over the passage of time, generally this corresponds to the hunting season. Revenues from individual non-member hunts are recognized when the related transaction is completed.
Equestrian Center: The Company recognizes revenue from monthly rental fees charged for boarding facilities.
Filming: Tejon Ranch provides access for on-site filming of commercials, movies and photo opportunities, revenues are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction, or access, is provided.
Landscaping: Tejon Ranch provides landscaping services to third parties, revenues are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction, or service, is provided.
Management Fees: Management fees are generally recognized at the end of each month based on the contractual amounts agreed upon by third parties and the Company.
For disaggregated revenue information on the aforementioned, refer to Note 14, Reporting Segments and Related Information, for further discussion.
The Company does not offer volume rebates, product returns, discounts and allowances as such, no variable consideration impacts the recording of revenue.
The Company’s revenues can be generated from contracts with multiple performance obligations. When a sales agreement involves multiple performance obligations, each obligation is separately identified, and the transaction price is allocated based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised good or service to the customer.
For performance obligations that the Company satisfies over time, revenue is recognized by consistently applying a method of measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. The Company utilizes the method that most accurately depicts the progress toward completion of the performance obligation.
Contract assets or liabilities result from transactions with revenue recorded over time. If the measure of remaining rights exceeds the measure of the remaining performance obligations the Company records a contract asset. Conversely, if the measure of the remaining performance obligations exceeds the measure of the remaining rights, the Company records a contract liability.





The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on our accounts receivables. Accounts receivables resulting from contracts with customers are as follows:

The spark spread represents contingent rent based on power generation.
Commercial/industrial real estate segment expenses were $1,792,000 during the first three months of 2019, an increase of $473,000, or 36%, from $1,319,000 during the first three months of 2018, a decrease of $424,000, or 24%, from $1,743,000 when compared to the same period in 2017.2018. This decrease is attributed to reduced payroll and overhead of $301,000 and stock compensation of $50,000.
Real Estate – Resort/Residential:
Resort/residential real estate segment expenses were $415,000 during the first three months of 2018, a decrease of $215,000, or 34%. The decrease is attributed to reduced professional expenses of $198,000.


Mineral Resources:

chart-9e42b9386429774825fa03.jpg
Mineral resources segment revenues were $9,131,000 for the first three months of 2018, an increase of $7,130,000, or 356%, from $2,001,000 when compared to the same period in 2017. During the first quarter, Kern County was under moderate drought conditions increasing water sales opportunities. Comparatively, we sold 7,442 acre-feet and 939 acre-feet as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have entered into a contract with a third-party to sell 7,000 acre-feet of water over the next two years.
Mineral resources segment expenses were $4,231,000 for the first three months of 2018, an increase of $2,907,000, or 220%, compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in costs is related to the increased water sales discussed above.






Farming:
chart-dcb3d185cc75344a661a03.jpg
Farming segment revenues were $1,195,000 for the first three months of 2018, an increase of $764,000, or 177%, from $431,000 when compared to the same period in 2017. The $764,000 increase is primarily attributable to a $924,000 increase in almond sales. Comparatively we sold 330,000 pounds and zero pounds as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Sales of carry forward almond inventory were deferred from the first quarter of 2017 until the second quarter of 2017 primarily due to the timing of sales. This was offset by reduced pistachio revenues of $213,000.
Farming segment expenses were $1,838,000 for the first three months of 2018, an increase of $515,000, or 39%, from $1,323,000 when compared to the same period in 2017. During this period, we saw an increase in almond cost of sales for the reasons discussed above.
Ranch Operations:
Ranch operations revenues were $989,000 for the first three months of 2018, a decrease of $92,000, or 9%, from $1,081,000 for the same period in 2017. The changes are in line with our current business environment.
Ranch operations expenses were $1,389,000 for the first three months of 2018, a decrease of $104,000, or 7%, from $1,493,000 for the same period in 2017. The drivers of this decrease include reduced repairs and maintenance and payroll costs.
Corporate and Other:
Corporate general and administrative costs were $2,732,000, a decrease of $19,000, or 1%, from $2,751,000 for the same period in 2017. This is attributed to reduced payrollincreases in Tejon-Castac Water District, or TCWD, fixed water assessments of $214,000 and overheadbad debt reserve of 329,000 offset by increased stock compensation costs of $222,000.$93,000.

Joint Ventures:
Our share of earnings from our joint ventures for the first three months of 2018 was $167,000, a decrease of $61,000, or 27%, from $228,000 for the same period in 2017. The primary drivers include the following:
There was a $369,000decrease in our share of earnings from our TA/Petro joint venture. The decline is driven by reduced fuel margins as a result of increased gasoline and diesel costs. Comparatively diesel margins were 17 cents and 27 cents per gallon as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Comparatively gasoline margins were 45 cents and 63 cents per gallon as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Diesel sales volume was 3.8 million and 4.2 million gallons as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Gasoline sales volume was 3.0 million and 2.8 million gallons as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Our TRC-MRC 2 joint venture saw improvements of $389,000 resulting in positive net income for the quarter. Throughout 2017, TRC-MRC 2 incurred significant non-cash GAAP accounting losses that did not reoccur in 2018. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Measures" for further financial discussion on our joint ventures.
General Outlook
The operations of the Company are seasonal and future results of operations cannot be predicted based on quarterly results. Historically, the Company's largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Real estate activity and leasing activities are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities and therefore are difficult to predict from period to period.
Commercial
For the three months ended March 31, 20182019, we had no leases that expired, nor did we have any material lease renewals.
The logistics operators currently located within our Commerce CenterTRCC have demonstrated success in serving all of California and the western region of the United States, and we are building from their success in our marketing efforts. We will continue to focus our marketing strategy for TRCC-East and TRCC-West on the significant labor and logistical benefits of our site, the pro-business approach of Kern County, and the demonstrated success of the current tenants and owners within our development. Our strategy fits within the logistics model that many companies are using, which favors large, centralized distribution facilities which have been strategically located to maximize the balance of inbound and outbound efficiencies, rather than a number of decentralized smaller distribution centers. The world class logistics operators located within TRCC have demonstrated success through utilization of this model. With access to markets of over 40 million people for next-day delivery service, they are also demonstrating success with e-commerce fulfillment.
During 2017 approval for expansion of the
Our Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) was granted by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The expanded FTZ now covers all the industrial sites within TRCC, an area totaling 1,094 acres. The FTZ designation allows the userbusinesses to secure the many benefits and cost reductions associated with streamlined movement of goods in and out of the zone. This FTZ designation is further supplemented by the Economic Development Incentive Policy, or EDIP, adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. EDIP is aimed to expand and enhance the County's competitiveness by taking affirmative steps to attract new businesses and to encourage the growth and resilience of existing businesses. The EDIP provides incentives such as assistance in obtaining tax breaks,incentives, building supporting infrastructure, orand workforce development. 

We believe that the FTZ and EDIP, along with our ability to provide fully-entitled, shovel-ready land parcels to support buildings of any size, especially buildings 1.0 million square feet or larger, can provide us with a potential marketing advantage in the future. We are also expanding our marketing efforts to include industrial space users in the Santa Clarita Valley of northern Los Angeles County, and the northern part of the San Fernando Valley due to the limited availability of new product and high real estate costs in these locations. Tenants in these geographic areas are typically users of relatively smaller facilities. In pursuit of such opportunities, the Company partneredis in process of constructing a 579,040 square foot distribution facility with Majestic. The Company and Majestic Realty Co.have successfully leased 67% of this distribution facility prior to its completion, with the tenant taking occupancy in the developmentfourth quarter of 2019. This new construction is building on the success in 2018 of fully leasing a 480,000 square foot state-of-the-artbuilding to Dollar General and to SalonCentric, L’Oréal USA’s professional salon distribution facility that was completedoperation, in the third quarter of 2017. Currently, half the building is leaseda partnership with the other half being aggressively marketed for lease.Majestic.
A potential disadvantage to our development strategy is our distance from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in comparison to the warehouse/distribution centers located in the Inland Empire, a large industrial area located east of Los Angeles, which continues its expansion eastward beyond Riverside and San Bernardino, to include Perris, Moreno Valley, and Beaumont. As development in the Inland Empire continues to move east and farther away from the ports, our potential disadvantage of our distance from the ports is being mitigated. Strong demand for large distribution facilities is driving development farther east in a search for large entitled parcels.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018,2019, vacancy rates in the Inland Empire increased fromfell 20 basis points to 3.7%, the lowest rate on record. Construction completions totaled only 4.4 million square feet in the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which is below the five-year quarterly average. The low vacancy rates have led to end at 4.4% when compared to December 31, 2017, primarily due to continued strong industrial demand that has surpassed construction completions.a year-over-year increase in lease rates of 12.1% within the Inland Empire. As lease rates increase in the Inland Empire, and northern Los Angeles County, we may begin to have a greater pricing advantageadvantages due to our lowlower land basis.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018,2019, vacancy rates in the northern Los Angeles industrial market, which includes the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, increased 30dropped 10 basis points from 1.7% to end1.4%. Rents have been increasing for the past six years and will likely continue to rise in future years as the vacancy rate is at 2.0% when compared to December 31, 2018. The northern Los Angeles industrial market continues to see available supply remain at extremely low levels, and with limited new construction, this will result in vacancy remaining at all-timehistoric lows and rentalquality industrial space remains hard to find. Average asking rents increased 10.1% year over year, which have surpassed the historical peak which was seen in late 2007. Industrial demand remains high and infill industrial demand remains higher still. Future quarters will likely see greater construction activity as rents hit new highs and vacancy rates anticipated to continue to increase.are at historic lows. Demand for industrial space in this market will also continue to be driven by domestic and global consumption levels. As industrial vacancy rates are at historic lows, industrial users seeking larger spaces are having to go further north into neighboring Kern County and particularly, TRCC, which has attracted increased attention as market conditions continue to tighten.
We expect that the commercial/industrial real estate segment willto continue to incurexperience costs, at current levels, net of amounts capitalized, primarily related to professional service fees, marketing costs, commissions, planning costs, and staffing costs as we continue forwardto pursue development opportunities. These costs are expected to remain consistent with current levels of expense with any variability in the future tied to specific absorption transactions in any given year.

The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue over several years as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future sales of land are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development plans.of commercial and industrial properties.
Resort ResidentialReal Estate – Resort/Residential:
We are in the preliminary stages of development; hence, no revenues or profits are attributed to this segment.
Resort/residential real estate segment expenses were $648,000 during the first three months of 2019, an increase of $233,000, or 56%, from $415,000 during the first three months of 2018. The increase is primarily attributed to higher professional services of $252,000 incurred during the first three months of 2019. We expect to see a continual increase in professional services throughout the remainder of the year.
Most of the expenditures and capital investment to be incurred within our resort/residential real estate segment will be focusedcontinue to focus on the following:
For Grapevine, we are working with Kern County to defend litigation related to the approved EIR. The entire litigation and permitting process for Grapevine will take several years and the investment of several million dollars to successfully complete.
For Centennial, we are working with the Los Angeles County DepartmentBoard of Regional PlanningSupervisors gave final approval to prepare the releasespecific plan on April 30, 2019. The specific plan for Centennial includes 19,333 residential units and more than 10.1 million square feet of commercial space.
For Grapevine, the court ruled that portions of the Final Environmental Impact ReportEIR required corrections and ordered that will be considered first by the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission tentatively scheduled forrescind the second quarter of 2018, and later byGrapevine project approvals until such supplemental environmental analysis was completed in December 2018. The Company is working on filing new applications to re-entitle the Board of Supervisors.Grapevine project in 2019.
For MV, we have a fully permitted and entitled project and received approval of Tentative Tract Map 1 for our first threefour phases of development. The timing of the MV development in the coming years will be dependent on the strength of both the economy and the real estate market, including both primary and second home markets. In moving the project forward, we will focus on the preparation of engineering leading to the final map for the first phases of MV, consumer and market research studies and fine tuning of development business plans, as well as defining the

possible capital funding sources for this development. We also obtained approval onOver the Farm Village commercial site plannext several years, we expect to explore funding opportunities for the future development of MV. Such funding opportunities could come from Kern County. Farm Village will servea variety of sources, such as joint ventures with financial partners, debt financing, or the “front door” to MV. Farm Village will include fresh culinary offerings, artisan markets, boutique lodging,Company’s issuance of additional common stock.

Farming
Freezing temperatures experienced in February may impact production within California's almond industry but that has not been determined at this time. Our almond crops did not experience any significant level of frost damage; however the suboptimal weather conditions may have prevented bees from adequately pollinating our almonds. It is, however, still too early in the growing season to determine what our almond, pistachio and wine grape yields will be and the impact of any adverse weather conditions. Due to our exposure$399,000, or 9%, when compared to the commodity markets, we are unablesame period in 2018. The decrease in expenses is primarily associated with decreased cost of sales for water of $485,000 related to accurately predict revenue and we cannot pass on to our customers any cost increases caused by general inflation, except to the extent such inflation is reflected in market conditions and commodity prices. Additionally, we are unable to predict the outcome of ongoing trade discussions with foreign nations nor are we able to predict the resulting impact over crop demand. All of our crops are sensitive to the size of each year’s world crop. Large crops in California and abroad can rapidly depress prices. Thus far in 2018, prices for almonds and pistachios have remained consistent with pricingfewer 2019 water sales opportunities as of December 31, 2017.discussed above.
Mineral Resources
As anticipated changes come in the future related to groundwater management within California, such as limited pumping in the over drafted groundwater basins outside of our lands, we believe that water banking operations, ground water recharge programs, and access to water contracts as we have purchased in the past will become even more important and valuable in servicing our projects. The 2018 moderate drought conditions have led to water sales opportunities, including multi-year agreements which we have had in the past. It is difficult to predict whether we will have additional waterWater sales opportunities for the remainder of the year. A large determining factor to this,2019 will be limited based on winter rain and snow levels as well as the finalCalifornia State Water Project, allocation.or SWP, water allocations being at a 70% level.
We do not expect increased oil production in 2019 if prices remain at current levels. We currently expect our largest tenant, California Resources Corporation, or CRC, to continue its program of producing from current active wells at lower levels with no near-term intent to begin new drilling programs until oil prices reach higher levels. CRC has approved permits and drill sites on our land and has delayed the start of drilling as it evaluates the market. A positive aspect of our lease with CRC is that the approved drill sites are in an area of the ranch where the development and production costs are moderate due to the depths being drilled.

Farming segment revenues were $815,000 for the first three months of 2019, a decrease of $380,000, or 32%, from $1,195,000 when compared to the same period in 2018. The changes are primarily attributed to:
Almond revenues decreased $548,000 resulting from fewer prior year crop carryforward units being sold. By comparison the Company sold 170,000 and 330,000 pounds of prior year carryover crop as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, we reduced estimated almond revenues on our prior year crop by $89,000 to reflect current market pricing. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 155,000 pounds of unsold carryover almond inventory.
2018 pistachio crop yields exceeded 4,000,000 pounds, representing a record high for the Company. The Company carried over 558,000 pounds of inventory into 2019 and has since sold 140,000 pounds, resulting in a $211,000 increase in revenues over prior year.
Farming segment expenses were $1,598,000 for the first three months of 2019, a decrease of $240,000, or 13%, from $1,838,000 when compared to the same period in 2018. The reduction in farming expenses is attributed to the following:
The Company recorded $108,000 in bad debt reserve during the first three months of 2018, which did not repeat during the same period of 2019.
The Company experienced decreases in hulling costs and irrigation costs of $82,000 and $72,000, respectively, in the first quarter of 2019.
The above reductions were partially offset by higher fixed water costs with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District of $182,000.


Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are highly seasonal with a majority of our sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters. Nut and grape crop markets are particularly sensitive to the size of each year’s world crop and the demand for those crops. Large crops in California and abroad can rapidly depress prices. Crop prices, especially almonds, are also adversely affected by a strong U.S. dollar, which makes U.S. exports more expensive and decreases demand for the products we produce. The low value of the U.S. dollar in prior years has helped to maintain strong almond prices in overseas markets. Thus far in 2019, when compared to 2018, the U.S. dollar has weakened against the Chinese Yuan whereas the Euro remains consistent. The full potential impact of an increasing U.S. dollar to our pricing and revenue is not known at this time. Additionally, increased tariffs from China and India which are major customers of almonds and pistachios, can make American products less competitive and push customers to switch to another producing country.
Weather conditions can impact the number of tree and vine dormant hours, which are integral to tree and vine growth. We will not know the impact of current weather conditions on 2019 production until the early summer of 2019. Thus far, we have experienced extended heavier rain fall and colder temperatures during the almond bloom period when compared to the 2017-2018 winter, which could negatively impact 2019 almond production. In addition, 2019 is the alternative bearing cycle for our pistachio trees and a lower than average crop is anticipated, following our record high yields in 2018. It is too early in the year to determine the impact of the 2019 water supplies on 2019 California crop production for almonds, pistachios, and wine grapes.
Lastly, the impact of new state ground water management laws on new plantings and continuing crop production remains unknown. Water delivery and water availability continues to be a long-term concern within California. Any limitation of delivery of SWP water and the absence of available alternatives during drought periods could potentially cause permanent damage to orchards and vineyards throughout California. While this could impact us, we believe we have sufficient water resources available to meet our requirements in 2019.

There was a $590,000 increase in our share of earnings from our TA/Petro joint venture. The increase was driven by improved fuel margins. Comparatively, diesel margins were $0.36 cents and $0.17 cents per gallon as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Comparatively, gasoline margins were $0.62 cents and $0.45 cents per gallon as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Diesel and gasoline sales volumes stayed relatively flat when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2019 with the same period in 2018.
Our share of losses from our TRCC/Rock Outlet Center joint venture improved $155,000 resulting from improved minimum and percentage rent, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had net income tax expense of $526,000$95,000 compared to a net income tax benefit of $1,332,000$526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. These represent2018. As such, effective tax rates of approximatelyapproximated 43% and 27% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and, 2017, respectively. The increase resulted from the Company's tax deduction for fully vested shares being less than the book expense recognized over the vesting period for the same shares, commonly referred to as tax shortfalls. As of March 31, 2018,2019, income tax receivables were $1,060,000.$181,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses.


Cash Flow and Liquidity
Our financial position allows us to pursue our strategies of land entitlement, development, and conservation. Accordingly, we have established well-defined priorities for our available cash, including investing in core reportingoperating segments to achieve profitable future growth. We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, investment proceeds, and short-term borrowings from our bank credit facilities. In the past, we have also issued common stock and used the proceeds for capital investment activities.
To enhance shareholder value, we will continue to make investments in our real estate segments to secure land entitlement approvals, build infrastructure for our developments, ensure adequate future water supplies, and provide funds for general land development activities. Within our farming segment, we will make investments as needed to improve efficiency and add capacity to its operations when it is profitable to do so.
On October 27, 2017, the Company completed a Rights Offering raising $90,000,000 in new capital.
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $90,588,000$68,174,000 at March 31, 2018,2019, a slight decrease of $387,000$11,483,000 from the corresponding amount at the end$79,657,000 as of 2017. The decrease in our cash position is attributable to a reduction in marketable securities and continued investment in development projects and water assets.December 31, 2018.

Operating Activities
During the first three months of 2019, our operations used $1,211,000, the primary drivers are $2,400,000 used for agricultural activities used to grow our current year crops offset by $1,200,000 in collections of receivables. When compared to the prior year, the decrease in cash flows is attributed to reduced water sales and the timing of collections on accounts receivables.
During the first three months of 2018, our operations generated $6,969,000 in cash largely due to the water sales discussed above and collection of accounts receivables.
Investing Activities
During the first three months of 2017, our operations2019 investing activities used $570,000$4,971,000. The company made capital expenditures, inclusive of cash as a resultcapitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of our net loss from operations and in order to pay for growing costsstock compensation), of $5,112,000 which includes predevelopment activities for our crops.master planned communities, consisting of general planning and permitting of $856,000 for MV; expenditures relating to regulatory permits and litigation of $787,000 for Grapevine, and costs related to approval of specific plan of $1,240,000 for Centennial. At TRCC, we spent $635,000 on water treatment facility improvements, water infrastructure improvements and planning. Within our farming segment, we spent $1,298,000 developing new almond orchards and replacing machinery and equipment. Also within investing activities, we had investment security maturities of $14,567,000 of which we reinvested $10,865,000. Lastly, the Company used $3,502,000 to acquire annual water purchase contracts.
Investing Activities
During the first three months of 2018, investing activities used $5,450,000 of cash, in part, as a result of $3,779,000 in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, include predevelopment activities for our master planned communities which amounted to $1,284,000 for MV, $603,000 for Grapevine, and $590,000 for Centennial. At TRCC East, we spent $338,000 constructing a water treatment facility. Within our farming segment, we spent $1,117,000 replacing old machinery and equipment along with developing a new almond orchard. We also purchased marketable securities and water for $10,942,000 and $2,659,000, respectively. Our capital outlays were offset by distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $181,000, CFD reimbursements of $1,385,000 and proceeds from maturity of marketable securities of $10,942,000. As we move forward, we will continue to use cash from operations, proceeds from the maturity of securities, and anticipated distributions from joint ventures to fund real estate project investment.
During the first three months of 2017, investing activities used $4,040,000 of cash as a result of $4,247,000 in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures include predevelopment activities for our master planned communities which amounted to $1,045,000 for MV, $870,000 for Grapevine, and $817,000 for Centennial. At TRCC East, we spent $343,000 for infrastructure projects. Within our farming segment, we spent $645,000 replacing old machinery and equipment along with developing a new almond orchard.

We spent $269,000 within our mineral resources group for new wells and water turnouts. Within ranch operations we acquired $49,000 in new machinery and equipment. Additionally, we used $4,276,000 for our purchase of water under the Nickel water contract. Our capital outlays were offset by distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures of $2,087,000 and proceeds from maturity of marketable securities of $2,671,000.
Our estimated capital investment inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, for the remainder of 2018 will be2019 is primarily related to our real estate projects. Estimated capital investment includesThese estimated investments include approximately $7,772,000$10,089,000 of infrastructure development at TRCC-East. This new infrastructure isTRCC-East to support continued commercial retail and industrial development within TRCC-East and to expand water facilities to support future anticipated absorption. We also plan to invest approximately $1,918,000 to continue development of new almond orchards and replacing farm equipment. The farm investments are part of a long-term farm management program to redevelop declining orchards and vineyards to maintain and improve future farm revenues. Lastly, we expect to possibly invest $6,026,000 inup to $14,421,000 for land planning, entitlement activities, litigation related to entitlement approvals, federal and state agency permitting and planning activities, and defendingdevelopment activities at MV, Centennial, and Grapevine during the approved EIR for Grapevine, $5,514,000 for final approvalremainder of tentative tract maps and design activities related to commercial development for MV, and $3,834,000 related to the specific plan EIR, approval of EIR, and mapping activities for Centennial.2019.
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, of $703,000 and 2017, of $744,000, and $846,000, respectively, is classified in real estate development. We also capitalized payroll and overhead costs related to development, pre-construction, and construction projects which aggregated $1,134,000$1,137,000 and $589,000$1,134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. The increase in capitalized payroll and overhead costs is attributed to additional employees working on our real estate development projects. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Financing Activities
During the first three months of 2019, financing activities used $1,822,000 to service long-term debt of $1,007,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $815,000.
During the first three months of 2018, financing activities used $2,147,000 in cash primarily for paydowns of long-term debt of $985,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $996,000.
During the first three months of 2017, financing activities provided $6,848,000 in cash primarily through $8,300,000 in drawdowns from our line of credit. As of March 31, 2017, there was an outstanding balance of $16,000,000 on our revolving line of credit. The use of our line of credit primarily reflects the cyclical nature of cash flow in our farming segment as inventory costs build as we move into the second half of the year and the harvest season begins and to water activity during the quarter. The cash inflows were offset by paydowns of long-term debt of $938,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $514,000.
It is difficult to accurately predict cash flows due to the nature of our business segmentsbusinesses and fluctuating economic conditions. Our earnings and cash flows will be affected from period to period by the commodity nature of our farming and mineral operations, the timing of sales and leases of property within our development projects, and the beginning of development within our residential projects. The timing of sales and leases within our development projects is difficult to predict due to the time necessary to complete the development process and negotiate sales or lease contracts. Often, the timing aspect of land development can lead to particular years or periods having more or less earnings than comparable periods. Based on our experience, we believe we will have adequate cash flows, cash balances, and availability on our line of credit over the next twelve months to fund internal operations. As we move forward with the completion of the entitlement processlitigation, permitting and engineering design for our master planned communities and prepare to move into the development stage, we will need to secure additional funding through the issuance of equity and secure other forms of financing such as joint ventures and possibly debt financing.

We continuously evaluate our short-term and long-term capital investment needs. Based on the timing of capital investments, we may supplement our current cash, marketable securities, and operational funding sources through the sale of common stock and the use of additional debt.

Capital Structure and Financial Condition
At March 31, 2018,2019, total capitalization at book value was $498,180,000$499,602,000 consisting of $68,973,000$64,908,000 of debt and $429,207,000$434,694,000 of equity, resulting in a long-term debt-to-total-capitalization ratio of approximately 13.8%13.0%.
The Company has a Term LoanNote and a Revolving Line of Credit Note or collectively(collectively, the Credit Facility,Facility) with Wells Fargo. The Credit Facility consists ofadds a $70,000,000 term note,loan, or Term Loan, and ato the existing $30,000,000 revolving line of credit, or RLC. Funds from the Term Loan were used to finance the Company's purchase of DMB TMV LLC's interest in MV. The Term Loan had a $61,561,000 balance as of March 31, 2019. Any future borrowings under the RLC will be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the RLC, undrawn amounts under the RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties.warranties, which is typical for this type of instrument. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on the RLC can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR averagerate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of the Credit Facilitythis credit facility (which matures in September 2019), we can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017,The Company expects to renew the RLC had an outstanding balance of $0. The Term Loan hadin September 2019 under similar terms. There were no outstanding balances of $65,162,000 and $66,046,000on the RLC as of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017, respectively.2018.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan is LIBOR (as defined in the Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the term of the note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.11%. We utilize an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates associated with our term loan. The Term Loan required interest only payments for the first two years of the term and thereafter requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Term Loan,Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due October 5, 2024. The CompanyTRC may make voluntary prepayments on the Term Loan at any time without penalty (excluding any applicable LIBOR or interest rate swap breakage costs). Each optional prepayment will be applied to reduce the most remote principal payment then unpaid. The Credit Facility is secured by the Company'sTRC's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables and the power plant lease and lease site, and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.
The Credit Facility requires compliance with three financial covenants: (a) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; (b) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (c) maintain liquid assets equal to or greater than $20,000,000. At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we were in compliance with allthe financial covenants.
The Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of TRC to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, or incur liens on any assets.
The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency; and a change in control without consent of bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.

We also have a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement to pay a principal amount of $4,750,000 with CMFG Life Insurance Company, to pay principal and interest due monthly.monthly starting on October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments of $102,700 ending on September 1, 2028. The current outstanding balance as of March 31, 2019 is $3,627,000.$3,347,000. The proceeds from this promissory note were used to eliminate debt that had been previously used to provide long-term financing for a building being leased to Starbucks and provide additional working capital for future investment. The balance of this long-term debt instrument listed above approximates the fair value of the instrument.
Our current and future capital resource requirements will be provided byprimarily from current cash and marketable securities, cash flow from on-going operations, distributions from joint ventures, proceeds from the sale of developed and undeveloped parcels, potential sales of assets, joint venture agreements, additional use of debt or draw downs against our line-of-credit, proceeds from the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs through Community Facilities District (CFD) bond debt (described below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”), and the issuance of common stock. During
On April 2016,25, 2019, we filed arenewed our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that wentwe anticipate to go effective in May 2016.2019. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell in the future one or more offerings, consisting of common

stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination of the foregoing. On October 27, 2017,The shelf registration allows for efficient and timely access to capital markets and when combined with our other potential funding sources just noted, provides us with a variety of capital funding options that can then be used and appropriately matched to the Company completed a Rights Offering raising $90,000,000 in new capital.funding needs of the Company.
At March 31, 2018,2019, we had $90,588,000$68,174,000 in cash and securities and had $30,000,000 available on our RLC to meet any short-term liquidity needs. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) and Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We continue to expect that substantial investments will be required in order to develop our land assets. ToIn order to meet these future capital requirements, we may need to secure additional debt financing and continue to renew our existing credit facilities. In addition to debt financing, we will use other capital alternatives such as joint ventures with financial partners, sales of assets, and the issuance of common stock. We will use a combination of the above funding sources to properly match funding requirements with the assets or development project being funded. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing or that we can obtain financing at favorable terms. We believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our cash needs and our capital investment requirements in the near-term as described earlier in the cash flow and liquidity discussions.

The categories above include purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities reflected on our balance sheet under GAAP. A “purchase obligation” is defined in Item 303(a)(5)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K as “an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the registrant that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.” Based on this definition, the table above includes only those contracts that include fixed or minimum obligations. It does not include normal purchases, which are made in the ordinary course of business.
Estimated water payments include the Nickel Family, LLC water contract, which obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through 2044 and SWP contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District. These contracts for the supply of future water run through 2035.

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. TRPFFA created two CFDs, the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $55,000,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $65,000,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA.
In connection with the sale of bonds there is a standby letter of credit for $4,921,000$4,468,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two yearsyears' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. As development occurs within TRCC-East, there is a mechanism in the bond documents to reduce the amount of the letter of credit. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. This letter of credit is for a two-year period of time and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $83,000.$68,000. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased within each CFD is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize an obligation at March 31, 2018.2019.
At March 31, 2018,2019, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $115,301,000.$120,483,000. We provided a guarantee on $100,021,000$105,199,000 of this debt, relating to our joint ventures with Rockefeller and Majestic. Because of positive cash flow generation within the Rockefeller and Majestic joint ventures, with operating assets, we do not expect the guarantee to ever be called upon. We do not provide a guarantee on the $15,280,000$15,284,000 of debt related to our joint venture with TA/Petro.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance and liquidity.performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, excluding stock compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it permits investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense. By excluding interest expense and income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other companies without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss on sales of real estate. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.

The Company utilizes net operating income (NOI)NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures a non-GAAP financial measure, as a measure of financial or operating performance.performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures provides investors with usefuladditional information concerning operating performance because it illustrates the profitability of our unconsolidated joint ventures after taking into account operating expenses and before taking into account that interest expense and depreciation and amortization associated with our unconsolidated joint ventures, which costs may vary as a result of credit ratings and cost of capital.ventures. We also use this measure internally to monitor the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our computation of this non-GAAP measure may not be the same as similar measures reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures.

The following schedule reconciles net income of unconsolidated joint ventures to NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures. Please refer to Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on joint ventures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial or commodity market prices or rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and commodity prices.
Financial Market Risks
Our exposure to financial market risks includes changes to interest rates and credit risks related to marketable securities, interest rates related to our outstanding indebtedness and market and credit risks related to trade receivables.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields and prudently managing risk. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate exposure, we limit our investments to securities with a maturity of less than five years and an investment grade rating from Moody’s or Standard &and Poor’s. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
We do not have anOur current RLC has no outstanding balance on our RLC. At the Company's option, thebalance. The interest rate on the RLC can either float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR average,rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed term for a limited period of time and change only at maturity of the fixed rate portion. The floating rate and fixed rate options within our RLC help us manage our interest rate exposure on any outstanding balances.
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of two term loans. The first term loanloans, one of which is for $65,162,000$61,561,000 and has a rate that is tied to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.70%. The interest rate for the term of this loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 4.11%. The outstanding balance on the second term loan has an outstanding balance of $3,627,000is $3,347,000 and has a fixed rate of 4.25%. We believe it is prudent at times to limit the variability of floating-rate interest payments and have from time-to-timetime to time entered into interest rate swap arrangements to manage those fluctuations, as we did with the first term loan mentioned above.(discussed here).
Market risk related to our farming inventories ultimately depends on the value of almonds, grapes, and pistachios at the time of payment or sale. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure. Credit risk related to our receivables depends upon the financial condition of our customers. Based on historical experience with our current customers and our periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure.
The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present our debt obligations and marketable securities and their related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Commodity Price Exposure
As of March 31, 2018,2019, we have exposure to adverse price fluctuations associated with certain inventories and accounts receivable. Farming inventories consist of farming cultural and processing costs related to 20172018 crop production. The farming costs inventoried are recorded at actual costs incurred. Historically, these costs have been recovered each year when that year’s crop harvest has been sold.

With respect to accounts receivable, the amount at risk relates primarily to farm crops. These receivables are recorded as estimates of the prices that ultimately will be received for the crops. The final price is generally not known for several months following the close of our fiscal year. Of the $4,175,000$9,655,000 of accounts receivable outstanding at March 31, 2018, $2,053,0002019, $5,280,000, or 49%55%, is at risk to changing prices. Of the amount at risk to changing prices, $564,000$4,164,000 is attributable to pistachios and $1,489,000$1,116,000 is attributable to almonds. The comparable amount of accounts receivable at risk to price changes at December 31, 2017 was $3,670,000, or 48% of the total accounts receivable of $7,608,000.
The price estimated for the remaining accounts receivable for pistachios recorded at March 31, 20182019 was $2.00$2.01 per pound, compared to $2.03unchanged from the $2.01 per pound at December 31, 2017.2018. For each $0.01 change in the price per pound of pistachios, our receivable for pistachios increases or decreases by $2,800.$15,000. Although the final price per pound of pistachios (and therefore the extent of the risk) is not presently known, over the last three years prices have ranged from $2.00 to $2.45.$4.25. With respect to almonds, the preliminary price estimateestimated for the remaining receivable was $2.52$2.36 per pound, as compared to $2.51$2.62 per pound at December 31, 2017.2018. For each $0.01 change in the price of almonds, our receivable for almonds increases or decreases by $5,900.$4,300. The range of final prices over the last three years for almonds has ranged from $2.58 to $3.67 per pound.
