NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Business and Organization

Gladstone Land Corporation (the ~~"Company"~~“Company”) is an agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been ~~previously re-incorporated in Delaware on May 25, 2004, and having been~~ originally incorporated in California on June 14, 1997. Upon the pricing of our initial public offering on January 29, 2013, our shares of common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “LAND.” We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, and we conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. ~~The Company owned 91.7% and 87.4%~~As we currently control the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own, directly or indirectly, all of the units of limited partnership ~~interests~~interest in the Operating Partnership ("(“OP ~~Units"~~Units”) as, the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated within our financial statements. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, the Company owned approximately 98.6% and 96.9%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units (see Note ~~7, "Equity,"~~8, “Equity,” for additional discussion regarding OP Units). ~~In addition, we have elected for~~

Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. ("(“Land ~~Advisers"~~Advisers”), a Delaware corporation and a ~~wholly-owned~~ subsidiary of ours, was created to collect any non-qualifying income related to our real estate portfolio and to perform certain small-scale farming business operations. We have elected for Land Advisers to be ~~taxed~~treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ~~("TRS"~~(“TRS”). of ours. Since we currently own 100% of the voting securities of Land Advisers, its financial position and results of operations are consolidated within our financial statements.

Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours (see Note 6, ~~"Related-Party~~“Related-Party Transactions",” for additional discussion regarding our Adviser and Administrator).

All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Information

Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments ~~consisting~~(consisting solely of normal recurring ~~accruals,~~accruals) necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February ~~21, 2017~~26, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

~~Reclassifications~~Impairment of Real Estate Assets

~~Certain line items~~We account for the impairment of our tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), which requires us to periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine whether indicators of impairment exist. If circumstances support the

possibility of impairment, we prepare a projection of the total undiscounted future cash flows of the specific property (without interest charges), including proceeds from disposition, and compare them to the net book value of the property to determine whether the carrying value of the property is recoverable. If the carrying amount is more than the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we would recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

We evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any impairment indicators and perform an impairment analysis on those select properties that have an indication of impairment. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we concluded that none of our properties were impaired. There have been no impairments recognized on our real estate assets since our inception.

Crop Inventory and Crop Sales

Crop Inventory

From October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018, Land Advisers operated a 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California, under a short-term lease (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Lease Assumption” for further discussion on this lease assignment). Costs incurred by Land Advisers in operating the farm generally consisted of growing costs (including the costs of land preparation, plants, fertilizers and pesticides, and labor costs), harvesting and selling costs (including labor costs for harvesting, packaging and cooling costs, and sales commissions), and certain overhead costs (including management/oversight costs). Due to certain market conditions during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (primarily the existence of bumper crops in all of the strawberry-growing regions within California), we were unable to sell all of the crops and therefore assessed the market value of such unsold crops to be zero. Accordingly, we wrote down the cost of crop inventory to its estimated net realizable value of zero and recorded a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, of approximately $33,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, included within Loss on write-down of crop inventory on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Crop Sales

Revenue from the sale of harvested crops was recognized when the harvested crops had been delivered to the facility and title had transferred and were recorded using the market price on the date of delivery. Accumulated costs were charged to cost of products sold (based on percentage of gross revenue from sales) as the related crops were harvested and sold.

Revenue from the sale of harvested crops and accumulated costs allocated to the crops sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Sales revenue⁽¹⁾	$	2		$	7,308
Cost of sales⁽²⁾	(175		)	(7,673		)


⁽¹⁾	Included within Other operating revenues on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

⁽²⁾

Included within Other operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Excludes rent expense owed to the Company and interest expense owed on a loan from the Company to Land Advisers, both of which expenses were eliminated in consolidation. Also excludes the allocation of a fee earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers of approximately $15,000 and $176,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, which is included within Management Fee on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—TRS Fee Arrangements—TRS Expense Sharing Agreement” for further discussion on this fee).

The lease to Land Advisers expired on July 31, 2018, after which we leased the farm to a new, unrelated third-party tenant under a 10-year lease that commenced on August 1, 2018.

Income Taxes

We have operated and intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT under the Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on amounts that we distribute to our stockholders (except income from any foreclosure property), provided that, on an annual basis, we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders and meet certain other conditions. As such, in general, as long as we qualify as a REIT, no provision for federal income taxes will be necessary, except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income and taxes on the income generated by a TRS (such as Land Advisers), if any. From October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018, Land Advisers, which is subject to federal and state income taxes, assumed the operations on one of our farms in California (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—

TRS Lease Assumption”). There was no taxable income or loss from Land Advisers for the tax year ended December 31, 2018, nor was there any for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Should we have any taxable income or loss in the future, we will account for any income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (including for operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards) and are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. In addition, we will establish valuation allowances for tax benefits when we believe it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that such assets will not be realized.

Reclassifications

On the accompanying Condensed Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of ~~Cash Flows~~Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2019, operating rental revenue has been reclassified to be displayed in accordance with ASU 2016-02 (as defined below), which was adopted on January 1, 2019, and acquisition-related expenses have been reclassified to ~~conform to the current period’s presentation.~~be included within general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported ~~stockholders’ equity,~~ net income (loss), equity, or net change in cash and cash equivalents.

~~Non-controlling Interests~~

Non-controlling interests are interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by us. We evaluate whether non-controlling interests are subject to redemption features outside of our control. As of both September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership are redeemable at the option of the holder for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock and thus are reported in the equity section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet but separate from stockholders’ equity. The amounts reported for non-controlling interests on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations represent the portion of income from the Operating Partnership not attributable to us. At the end of each reporting period, we determine the amount of equity (at book value) that is allocable to

non-controlling interests based upon the respective ownership interests. To reflect the non-controlling interests' equity interest in the Company, an adjustment is made to non-controlling interests, with a corresponding adjustment to paid-in capital, as reflected on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Equity.

~~Critical Accounting Policies~~

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make judgments that are subjective in order to make certain estimates and assumptions, and our application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, ~~"Revenue~~“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~" ("~~” (“ASU ~~2014-09"~~2014-09”), which was amended in each of March, April, May, and December of 2016. ASU 2014-09, as amended, supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance and establishes a new, control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will expand disclosures about revenue. ~~As deferred by the FASB in July 2015,~~We adopted ASU 2014-09 as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. We will adopt this guidance for our annual and interim periods beginningon January 1, 2018, ~~and expect to use~~using the modified retrospective method, under which the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance iswas recognized at the date of initial application. ~~We do not expect~~Our adoption of ASU 2014-09 todid not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition, as the primary impact of this update is related to common area maintenance and other material tenant reimbursements, whereas the majority of our revenue is from rental income pursuant to net-lease agreements, with very little being attributed to tenant recoveries. The impact of ASU 2014-09 did not take effect until the new leasing standard (ASU 2016-02, as defined below) became effective on January 1, 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): An Amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“ASU 2016-02”)., which supersedes the previous leasing standard, ASC 840, “Leases.” The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee, which classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis, respectively, over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of the classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for ~~similar~~similarly to ~~existing guidance for~~ operating ~~leases.~~leases under the previous leasing standard. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to ~~existing guidance~~that under the previous standard for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. We adopted ASU 2016-02 ~~supersedes the previous leasing standard, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 840, “Leases,” and is effective~~ on January 1, 2019, ~~with early adoption permitted. We expect our legal expenses (included in General and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements~~using the modified retrospective method, under which we recorded the cumulative effect of ~~Operations) to increase marginally, as~~applying the new ~~standard requires~~guidance as of the adoption date. We also elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance (which included that: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases), the land easement practical expedient to carry forward existing accounting treatment on existing land easements, and the lease and non-lease component combined practical expedient. In addition, we elected the short-term lease exception, which allows us to ~~expense indirect leasing costs that were previously capitalized; however, we do not expect ASU 2016-02~~account for leases with a term of 12 months or less similar to ~~materially impact our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we~~existing operating leases. We currently ~~only~~ have two operating ground lease arrangements with terms greater than one year for which we are the lessee.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts~~ See Note 7, “Commitments and ~~Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15")~~Contingencies—Ground Lease Obligations, ~~which clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments~~” for further discussion on the ~~statement~~impact of cash flows, with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice related to certain cash flow issues. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance for our ~~annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018. We do not expect the~~ adoption of ASU ~~2016-15 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In November 2016,~~2016-02 and the ~~FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted cash (a consensus of~~assumptions used in determine the ~~FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" ("ASU 2016-18"), which requires the statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents,~~related right-of-use asset and amounts described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Under ASU 2016-18, amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business" ("ASU 2017-01"), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting, including acquisitions and disposals. ASU 2017-01 is effective for

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2017-01, effective October 1, 2016, and, as a result of our early adoption, all of our farmland acquisitions since our adoption have been treated as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, which has resulted in a lower amount of acquisition-related costs being expensed on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as the majority of those costs have been capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the respective purchase prices. We anticipate that the majority of our future acquisitions will continue to be treated as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, resulting in similar treatment of acquisition-related costs.lease liability.

Acquisitions

~~Until~~Upon our adoption of ASU 2017-01, ~~which clarified~~“Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the ~~definition~~Definition of a ~~business, certain acquisitions during the prior-year period were accounted for as business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, as there was a prior leasing history~~Business,” on the property. As such, the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined in accordance with ASC 805, and all acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred, other than those costs directly related to reviewing or assigning leases that we assumed upon acquisition, which were capitalized as part of leasing costs. Upon our early adoption of ASU 2017-01, effective October 1, 2016, most acquisitions, including those with a prior leasing history, are ~~now~~ generally treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360. For acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360, all acquisition-related costs, ~~were~~other than those costs that directly related to either originating new leases we execute upon acquisition or reviewing in-place leases we assumed upon acquisition, are capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired ~~other than those~~or liabilities assumed. Upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, costs that directly related to either negotiating and originating new leases ~~we executed upon acquisition, which~~or reviewing assumed leases (generally, external legal costs) are expensed as incurred, whereas these costs were generally capitalized as part of leasing ~~costs.~~

costs under the previous leasing standard. In addition, total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities, such as OP Units. When OP Units are issued in connection with acquisitions, we determine the fair value of the OP Units issued based on the number of units issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition. Unless otherwise noted, all properties acquired during 2019 and 2018 were accounted for as asset acquisitions under ASC 360.

Includes two farms (1,368 total acres) acquired through a leasehold interest, with the State of Arizona as the lessor. These state leases expire in February 2022 (485 total acres) and February 2025 (883 total acres). In addition, in connection with the acquisition of this property, we assumed four in-place leases with us as the lessor or sublessor. Three of these leases are agricultural leases, with one lease expiring on June 30, 2019, and two leases expiring on September 15, 2026. The fourth lease is a residential lease that expires on September 30, 2019. If either of the state leases is not renewed upon its expiration, the subleases on the respective acreage shall terminate automatically.


⁽⁵⁾	Leases ~~also~~ provide for a ~~variable~~participation rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the ~~property.~~respective farms. The rent figures above represent only the minimum cash ~~rents~~ guaranteed under the respective leases.

⁽⁶⁾⁽⁴⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 6-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that ~~begins~~will commence upon the expiration of the ~~7-month~~4-month lease ~~assumed at~~executed on the date of acquisition. The follow-on lease includes ~~two, 6-year~~one, 4-year extension ~~options~~option and provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately ~~$542,000.~~$606,000. In ~~addition, in~~ connection with ~~the execution of~~ the follow-on lease, we committed to ~~providing~~provide up to $100,000 for certain irrigation improvements on the property.


⁽⁵⁾	As partial consideration for the acquisition of this property, we issued 288,303 OP Units, constituting an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.3 million as of the acquisition date.

⁽⁶⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we also acquired an ownership in a related LLC, the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to this and other neighboring properties. Our acquired ownership equated to an 11.75% interest in the LLC and was valued at approximately $280,000 at the time of acquisition and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As our investment in the LLC is deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for this investment under the equity method. From the commencement of our ownership in the LLC through September 30, 2019, there was no material income or loss recognized by the LLC; thus, no net income or loss was recorded by us during the three months ended September 30, 2019.


⁽⁷⁾	In connection with this acquisition, we executed two separate lease agreements with two different, unrelated third-party tenants. The lease term of 3.3 years represents the weighted-average term of the two leases. In addition, pursuant to one of these lease agreements, we committed to provide up to $1.0 million for certain irrigation improvements on the property.

⁽⁸⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we committed to provide up to approximately $4.0 million as additional compensation, contingent upon the County of Napa approving the planting of additional vineyards on up to 47 acres of the property by February 25, 2020. We are currently unable to estimate when this approval will be obtained, if at all. If approval is obtained, we have also committed to contribute up to $40,000 per approved acre for the development of such vineyards. As provided for in the lease, we will earn additional rent on all of the aforementioned costs, if any, incurred by us.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized operating revenues of approximately $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and net income of approximately $574,000 and $793,000, respectively, related to the above acquisitions.

⁽²⁾	Farm was purchased with no lease in place at the time of acquisition.

⁽³⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we committed to provide up to $2.0 million of capital for certain irrigation and property improvements. As stipulated in the ~~follow-on~~ lease, we will earn additional ~~rent~~rental income on the total cost of the improvements as disbursements are made by us at a rate commensurate with the annual yield on the farmland (as determined by each ~~year's~~year’s minimum cash rent per the follow-on lease).


⁽⁷⁾	In connection with the acquisition of this property, we committed up to $4.0 million of capital to fund the development of additional vineyard acreage on the property. As stipulated in the lease agreement, we will earn additional rental income on the total cost of the project as the capital is disbursed by us at rates specified in the lease.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, in the aggregate, we recognized operating revenues of approximately ~~$1.5 million~~$554,000 and ~~$3.0 million,~~$603,000, respectively, and ~~earnings~~net income of approximately ~~$341,000~~$168,000 and ~~$1.2 million,~~$140,000, respectively, related to the above acquisitions.

Project Completion

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we replaced 23 irrigation pivots on one of our properties in Colorado at a total cost of approximately $1.4 million. Pursuant to a lease amendment executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as part of a business combination was acquired on January 1, 2015. In addition, pro-forma earnings have been adjusted to assume that acquisition-related costs related to these farms were incurred at the beginning of the previous fiscal year (dollars in thousands, except share and per-share amounts).

~~Lease Extensions and Renewals~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we executed ten separate leases on nine different farms in California and Florida that had leases expiring in either 2017 or 2018. In total, these leases were renewed for additional terms ranging between one and five years and for total annualized rents of approximately $2.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately $167,000 (approximately 7.0%) from that of the prior leases. These renewals were executed without incurring any downtime on the respective farms, and no leasing commissions or tenant improvements were incurred2019, in connection with ~~these renewals.~~

~~Project Completion~~

~~In connection with the lease~~this project, we executed upon our acquisition of an 854-acre farm in California in September 2015, we agreed to fund the development of the property into an almond orchard. The development included the removal of 274 acres of old grape vineyards, the installation of a new irrigation system, including the drilling of four new wells, and the planting of over 800 acres of new almond trees. As of September 30, 2017, the development project had been completed at a total costwill earn additional straight-line rental income of approximately ~~$8.4 million, and, as a result, we expect to receive approximately $5.2 million of additional rent~~$117,000 per year throughout the remaining term of the lease, which expires ~~January 9, 2031.~~on February 28, 2021.

Future Minimum Lease Payments

We account for all of our leasing arrangements in which we are the lessor as operating leases. The majority of our leases are subject to fixed rental increases, and a small subset of our lease portfolio includes lease payments based on an index, such as the consumer price index (“CPI”). In addition, several of our leases contain participation rent components based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms. Most of our leases also include tenant renewal options; however, these renewal options are generally based on then-current market rates and are therefore typically excluded from the determination of the minimum lease term. Our leases do not generally include tenant termination options.

The following table summarizes the future lease payments to be received under non-cancelable leases as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, our farms were leased to 4970 different, unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. One unrelated third-party tenant ("(“Tenant A"A”) leases five of our farms, and aggregate ~~rental~~lease revenue attributable to Tenant A accounted for approximately ~~$3.2~~$3.3 million, or ~~17.7%~~12.2%, of the ~~rental~~total lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, Dole Food Company (“Dole”) leases two of our farms, and aggregate rental revenue attributable to Dole accounted for approximately $2.2 million, or 12.2% of the rental revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2019.

⁽¹⁾	Where applicable, stated interest rates are before interest patronage (as described below).

As of September 30, 2019, the above borrowings were collateralized by certain of our farms with an aggregate net book value of approximately $743.4 million. The weighted-average interest rate charged on the above borrowings ~~excluding~~(excluding the impact of ~~deferred financing~~debt issuance costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded ~~interest,~~interest) was ~~3.44%~~4.03% and ~~3.33%~~3.97% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively, and ~~3.29%~~3.76% and ~~3.27%~~3.63% for ~~the~~ three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2018, respectively. In addition, ~~2016~~2018 interest patronage from our Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below), which we ~~received and~~ recorded during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2019, resulted in a ~~17.2%~~21.2% reduction (approximately 6195 basis points) to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. We are unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2019 on our Farm Credit Notes Payable.

As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to the above borrowings.

MetLife Borrowings

MetLife Facility

On May 9, 2014, we closed on a credit facility (the ~~"MetLife Facility"~~“MetLife Facility”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) ~~that originally consisted~~. As a result of ~~a $100.0~~subsequent amendments, the MetLife Facility currently consists of an aggregate of $200.0 million ~~long-term note payable~~of term notes (the ~~“2015 MetLife~~“MetLife Term ~~Note”~~Notes”) and ~~a $25.0~~$75.0 million of revolving equity ~~line~~lines of credit (the ~~“2015 MetLife Line~~“MetLife Lines of Credit”). As amended on October 5, 2016, the overall size of the MetLife Facility was increased from $125.0 million to $200.0 million (the "2016 Amendment"). Pursuant to the 2016 Amendment, the MetLife Facility now consists of the 2015 MetLife Term Note, the 2015 MetLife Line of Credit, a $50.0 million long-term note payable (the "2016 MetLife Term Note" and, together with the 2015 MetLife Term Note, the "MetLife Term Notes"), the terms of which are pari passu with those of the 2015 MetLife Term Note, and a second $25.0 million revolving equity line of credit (the "2016 MetLife Line of Credit" and, together with the 2015 MetLife Line of Credit, the "MetLife Lines of Credit"), the terms of which are pari passu to those of the 2015 MetLife Line of Credit.

On ~~September 19, 2017,~~August 16, 2019, we drew ~~approximately $27.5~~$16.5 million on the MetLife Term ~~Notes, which was used to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under the MetLife Lines of Credit.~~Notes.

Fair Value

ASC 820 provides a definition of fair value that focuses on the exchange (exit) price of an asset or liability in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs to the valuation. ASC 820-10, ~~"Fair~~“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,"” establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — inputs that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets or model-based valuation techniques, for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs are generally supported by little or no market activity and are based upon ~~management's~~management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the aggregate fair value of our ~~long-term, fixed-rate mortgage~~ notes and bonds payable was approximately ~~$286.3~~$454.5 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of ~~$292.1~~approximately $450.8 million. The fair value of our long-term, fixed-rate ~~mortgage~~ notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. Further, due to the revolving nature of the MetLife Lines of Credit and the lack of changes in market credit spreads, their aggregate fair value as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of ~~$5.1~~$4.1 million.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

In order to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement in connection with one of our mortgage financings secured during the three months ended September 30, 2019. In accordance with this swap agreement, we will pay our counterparty a fixed rate interest rate on a quarterly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equivalent to the stipulated floating rate. We have adopted the fair value measurement provision for this financial instrument, and the fair values of our interest rate swap agreement is recorded in Other assets, net or Other liabilities, net, as appropriate, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, in the absence of observable market data, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate swap using estimates of certain data points, including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield, and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. As of September 30, 2019, our interest rate swap was valued using Level 2 inputs.

In addition, we have designated our interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, and we record changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement to accumulated other comprehensive income on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We record changes in fair value on a quarterly basis, using current market valuations at quarter end. The following table summarizes our interest rate swap as of September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Our Adviser and Administrator

We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly.

We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). The advisory agreement with our Adviser that was in effect through ~~March 31, 2017~~June 30,

2019 (the ~~“Advisory~~“Prior Advisory Agreement”), was amended on July 9, 2019 (as amended, the “Amended Advisory Agreement”), and ~~the current administration agreement with~~was approved unanimously by our ~~Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) each became effective February 1, 2013.~~board of directors, including our independent directors. A summary of ~~each of these agreements~~the Prior Advisory Agreement is provided in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K.

On April 11, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Amended Advisory Agreement") with our Adviser that became effective beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017. Our entrance into the Amended Advisory Agreement was approved unanimously by our board of directors, including, specifically, our independent directors.

In addition, on April 11, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, LLC, ("Gladstone Securities"), effective beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017, for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging financing for our properties (the "Financing Arrangement Agreement"). Gladstone Securities is a privately-held broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Gladstone also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities.

A summary of the compensation terms for each of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the ~~Financing Arrangement~~Administration Agreement is below.

In addition, subsequent to September 30, 2017, the existing lease on one of our farms was assigned by the tenant to our TRS. See Note 10, "Subsequent Events," for further discussion on this transaction.

Amended Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement, ~~effective beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017,~~ our Adviser is compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. ~~Each of these fees is described below.~~

Base Management Fee

A base management fee ~~will be~~is paid quarterly and ~~will be~~is calculated as 2.0% per annum (0.50% per quarter) of the prior calendar ~~quarter's~~quarter’s total adjusted common equity, which, beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2019, is defined as ~~total~~common stockholders’ equity plus ~~total mezzanine equity,~~non-controlling common interests in the Operating Partnership, if any ~~each~~(each as reported on our balance ~~sheet,~~sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items ("(“Total Adjusted ~~Equity"~~Common Equity”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our Adviser granted us certain non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waivers, which were applied as credits against the base management fees for the respective periods, as detailed in the table below under “—Related-Party Fees.”

Incentive Fee

An incentive fee ~~will be~~is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar ~~quarter's~~quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity. For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends paid on preferred stock securities that are not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. Our Adviser will receive: (i) no ~~Incentive Fee~~incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).

Capital Gains Fee

A capital gains-based incentive fee will be calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the ~~Amended~~ Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the ~~property's~~property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.

Termination Fee

In the event of our termination of the Amended Advisory Agreement for any reason, ~~(with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors),~~ a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.

~~Financing Arrangement~~Administration Agreement

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay separately for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s overhead expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.

TRS Lease Assumption

On October 17, 2017, Land Advisers entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Agricultural Lease (the “Assigned TRS Lease”) with the previously-existing tenant on a 169-acre farm located in Ventura County, California. The Assigned TRS Lease, as amended, expired on July 13, 2018. In addition, in connection with the initial operations on the farm, on October 17,

2017, Land Advisers issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the Company that matured in July 31, 2018, and bore interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum. All inter-company amounts related to the Assigned TRS Lease and the promissory note were eliminated in consolidation, and, as a result, no rental or interest income from Land Advisers was recorded by us on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018. Effective August 1, 2018, this farm was leased to a new, unrelated third-party tenant under a 10-year lease.

TRS Fee Arrangements

In connection with the assumption of the Assigned TRS Lease, in exchange for services provided by our Adviser to Land Advisers, our Adviser and Land Advisers entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement (the “TRS Expense Sharing Agreement”). In addition, to account for the time our Administrator’s staff spends on activities related to Land Advisers, we adopted a policy wherein a portion of the fee paid by the Company to our Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement would be allocated to Land Advisers (the “TRS Administration Fee Allocation”). No such fees were incurred during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.

TRS Expense Sharing Agreement

Pursuant to the TRS Expense Sharing Agreement, our Adviser was responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operations on the farm leased to Land Advisers from October 17, 2017, through July 31, 2018. In exchange for such services, Land Advisers compensated our Adviser through reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by our Adviser, including Land Advisers’ pro-rata share of our Adviser’s payroll and related benefits (based on the percentage of each employee’s time devoted to matters related to Land Advisers in relation to the time such employees devoted to all affiliated funds, collectively, advised by our Adviser) and general overhead expenses (based on the total general overhead expenses incurred by our Adviser multiplied by the ratio of hours worked by our Adviser’s employees on matters related to Land Advisers to the total hours worked by our Adviser’s employees).

Costs incurred by our Adviser, while payable by Land Advisers, were initially accumulated and deferred and then allocated to costs of sales as the related crops were harvested and sold. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, approximately $15,000 and $176,000, respectively, of the total accumulated costs incurred by our Adviser was allocated to the costs of crops sold and is included within Base management fee on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, our Adviser granted Land Advisers a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiver to be applied against a portion of the fees incurred by our Adviser on behalf of Land Advisers pursuant to the TRS Expense Sharing Agreement.

TRS Administration Fee Allocation

Under to the TRS Administration Fee Allocation, a portion of the fee owed by us to our Administrator under the Administration Agreement was allocated to Land Advisers based on the percentage of each employee’s time devoted to matters related to Land Advisers in relation to the total time such employees devoted to the Company.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, approximately $18,000 and $48,000, respectively, of the administration fee paid by us was allocated to Land Advisers. This allocation is included within Administration fee on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Gladstone Securities

On April 11, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging financing for our properties (the “Financing Arrangement Agreement”). Gladstone Securities is a privately-held broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, who also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities.

Financing Arrangement Agreement Gladstone Securities may, from time to time, solicit the interest of various agricultural or commercial real estate lenders and/or recommend to us third-party lenders offering credit products or packages that are responsive to our needs.

We ~~will~~ pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing financing on our properties. Depending on the size of the financing obtained, the maximum amount of the financing fee, which ~~will be~~is payable upon closing of the respective financing, ~~will range~~ranges from 0.5% to 1.0% of the amount of financing obtained. The amount of the financing fee may be reduced or eliminated as determined by us and Gladstone Securities after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any unrelated third-party brokers and general market

conditions. ~~During each~~We paid total financing fees to Gladstone Securities of approximately $160,000 and $188,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively, and approximately $57,000 and $59,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Through September 30, 2019, the total amount of financing fees paid to Gladstone Securities represented approximately ~~0.1%~~0.14% of the total financings secured since the Financing Arrangement Agreement has been in place.

Dealer-Manager Agreement

On January 10, 2018, we entered into a dealer-manager agreement, which was amended and restated on May 31, 2018 (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”), with Gladstone Securities, whereby Gladstone Securities serves as our exclusive dealer-manager in connection with the offering of our Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 8, “Equity—Series B Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Dealer-Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities provides certain sales, promotional, and marketing services to us in connection with the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock, and we generally will pay Gladstone Securities: (i) selling commissions of up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of Series B Preferred Stock in the offering (the “Selling Commissions”), and (ii) a dealer-manager fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of Series B Preferred Stock in the offering (the “Dealer-Manager Fee”). Gladstone Securities may, in its sole discretion, remit all or a portion of the Selling Commissions and may also reallow all or a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fees to participating broker-dealers and wholesalers in support of the offering. The terms of the Dealer-Manager Agreement were approved by our board of directors, including all of its independent directors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees to Gladstone Securities in connection with sales of the Series B Preferred Stock of approximately $1.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of which approximately $1.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively, were then remitted by Gladstone Securities to unrelated third-parties involved in the offering, including participating broker-dealers and wholesalers. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we paid total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees to Gladstone Securities of approximately $890,000 and $940,000, respectively, of which approximately $843,000 and $890,000, respectively, was remitted to unrelated third-parties involved in the offering. Through September 30, 2019, approximately 93.9% of the total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees paid to Gladstone Securities have been remitted to unrelated third-parties involved in the offering.

Total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees paid to Gladstone Securities are netted against the gross proceeds received from sales of the Series B Preferred Stock and are included within Additional paid-in capital on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

~~NOTE 7. EQUITY~~

~~Amendment to Articles of Incorporation~~

On July 12, 2017, we filed an Articles of Amendment with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation for Maryland to increase the number of shares of capital stock that we have authority to issue from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares, with the additional 80,000,000 shares of stock being initially classified as common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

~~Stockholders’ Equity~~

As of September 30, 2017, there were 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 13,485,025 shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2016, there were 18,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 10,024,875 shares issued and outstanding.

~~Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership~~

We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we owned approximately 91.7% and 87.4%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.

On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption. A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.

On September 20, 2017, 221,875 OP Units were tendered for redemption, and on September 29, 2017, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 50,000 OP Units, and we satisfied the redemption of 171,875 OP Units with a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million (approximately $13.21 per OP Unit).

Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-Company unitholder redeems an OP Unit, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.

The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.

As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, there were 1,227,383 and 1,449,258 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding, respectively, of which 993,431 and zero OP Units, respectively, were eligible to be tendered for redemption. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, 121,875 additional OP Units were tendered for redemption; see Note 10, "Subsequent Events," for further discussion on the redemption of these OP Units.

~~Distributions~~

~~The distributions to common stockholders declared by our Board of Directors and paid by us during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are reflected in the table below.~~

~~The same amounts were paid as distributions on each OP Unit held by non-controlling limited partners of the Operating Partnership as of the above record dates.~~

~~Registration Statement~~

On March 30, 2017, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) with the SEC (the "2017 Registration Statement") to replace our previous registration statement, which expired on April 1, 2017 (the "2014 Registration Statement"). The 2017 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2017, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. As of September 30, 2017, we have issued a total of 1,584,401 shares of common stock (excluding 50,000 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain OP Units that were tendered for redemption) for gross proceeds of approximately $19.7 million under the 2017 Registration Statement.

In conjunction with the replacement of the 2014 Registration Statement, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, we wrote off approximately $46,000 of unallocated costs associated with the initial filing of the 2014 Registration Statement. These costs were written off to professional fees and stockholder-related expenses, both of which are included in General and administrative expenses on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

~~2017 Equity Issuances~~

On March 8, 2017, we completed a public offering of 1,680,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.35 per share. This issuance settled on March 13, 2017, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $19.1 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $18.0 million. On March 17, 2017, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option in connection with this offering, and, as a result, we issued an additional 145,749 shares. This issuance settled on March 22, 2017, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $1.7 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $1.6 million. We used the proceeds received from this offering to repay existing indebtedness (which, in turn, was used to fund future farmland acquisitions) and for other general corporate purposes.

On September 8, 2017, we completed a public offering of 1,150,000 shares (including 150,000 shares issued as a result of the underwriters simultaneously exercising their over-allotment option) of our common stock at a public offering price of $12.25 per share. This issuance settled on September 12, 2017, and resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $14.1 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $13.4 million. We used the proceeds received from this offering to repay existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

~~At-the-Market Program~~

On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as "at-the-market agreements" or our "Sales Agreements") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”). During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we issued and sold 434,401 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $12.92 per share under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $5.6 million and net proceeds of approximately $5.5 million. Through September 30, 2017, we have issued and sold a total of 498,962 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $12.57 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $6.3 million and net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million. See Note 10, "Subsequent Events," for shares of common stock issued and sold under the ATM Program subsequent to September 30, 2017.

~~On April 13, 2017, we amended each of the Sales Agreements to reference the new 2017 Registration Statement. All other material terms of the Sales Agreements remained unchanged.~~

NOTE 8.7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Obligations

In connection with athe execution of certain lease ~~amendment~~agreements, we ~~executed~~have committed to provide capital improvements on ~~one~~certain of our ~~Oregon~~ farms, ~~in May 2017, we committed to providing up to $1.8 million of capital for anticipated improvements on the farm, including irrigation upgrades and the planting of new blueberry bushes,~~ which ~~improvements~~ are ~~expected to be completed by December 31, 2020. As stipulated~~summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	Our obligation to provide capital to fund these improvements does not extend beyond these respective dates.


⁽²⁾	Pursuant to contractual agreements, we will earn additional rent on the cost of these capital improvements as the funds are disbursed by us.

Ground Lease Obligations

In connection with two farms acquired on June 1, 2017, through a leasehold interest, we assumed two ground lease ~~amendment,~~arrangements under which we ~~will begin earning additional rent on~~are the ~~cost~~lessee (with the State of ~~the improvements~~Arizona as the ~~funds are disbursed~~lessor). These two operating ground leases expire in February 2022 and February 2025, and neither lease contains any extension, renewal, or termination options. Upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, we recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset of approximately $218,000 and an operating lease liability of approximately $213,000 as a result of these ground leases. These values were determined by ~~us at an initial annual~~discounting the respective future minimum lease payments using a discount rate equivalent to treasury rates with similar terms plus a spread ranging from 2.47% to 2.53%.

As of ~~6.5%, which rate is subject to annual escalations and market resets.~~ September 30, 2019, we had recorded the following as a result of these operating ground leases (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):



Operating lease right-of-use assets⁽¹⁾	$	188
Operating lease liabilities⁽²⁾	$	171

Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)	4.8

⁽²⁾	Included within Other liabilities, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As a result of this project, and assuming full deployment of the capital commitment amount, we expect to receive approximately $718,000 of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2017, we have expended or accrued approximately $677,000 related to this project. In addition, as part of the project, certain blueberry bushes owned by us were removed to allow for the planting of new varieties of blueberry bushes. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2017,these ground leases, we recorded ~~a loss of approximately $78,000 associated with~~lease expense (included within Property operating expenses on the ~~removal of these bushes, which amount represents the net cost basis of such bushes plus all removal costs. This loss is recorded as Loss on disposal of real estate asset on our~~accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations ~~for~~and Comprehensive Income) of approximately $12,000 and $39,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~

~~In connection with~~2019, respectively, and approximately $12,000 and $36,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Future lease ~~we executed upon our acquisition~~payments due under the remaining non-cancelable terms of our two North Carolina farms in June 2017, we committed to providing up to $300,000 of capital over the first two years to support additional plantings and infrastructure on the farm, which improvements are expected to be completed by June 30, 2019. As stipulated in the lease, we will earn additional rent on the total cost of the improvementsthese leases as disbursements are made by us at a rate commensurate with the annual yield on the farmland (as determined by each year's minimum cash rent per the lease). As a result of this project, and assuming full deployment of the capital commitment amount, we expect to receive approximately $157,000 of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires December 31, 2026. As of September 30, ~~2017, we have expended or accrued approximately $103,000 related to this project.~~2019, and December 31, 2018, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Litigation

In ~~connection with a lease amendment~~the ordinary course of business, we ~~executed on one of our Florida properties~~may be involved in ~~June 2017, we committed~~legal proceedings from time to providing up to $700,000 of capital to expand and upgrade the existing cooler on the property, which improvements are expected to be completed during the three months ending December 31, 2017. As stipulated in the lease amendment, we will begin earning additional rent on the cost of the improvements as the funds are disbursed by us at an initial annual rate of 8.5%, which rate is subject to annual escalations. As a result of this project, and assuming full deployment of the capital commitment amount, we expect to receive approximately $280,000 of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires June 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2017, we have expended or accrued approximately $240,000 related to this project.

In connection with the follow-on lease we executed upon our acquisition of a 1,910-acre farm in Florida in August 2017 (which has a commencement date of February 24, 2018), we committed to providing up to $1.0 million of capital in the first year of the lease to support additional plantings and infrastructure on the farm, which improvements are expected to be completed during the three months ending March 31, 2019. As stipulated in the follow-on lease, we will earn additional rent on the total cost of the improvements as disbursements are made by us at a rate commensurate with the annual yield on the farmland (as determined by each year's minimum cash rent per the lease). As a result of this project, and assuming full deployment of the

capital commitment amount, we expect to receive approximately $305,000 of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires February 23, 2024. We have not expended or accrued any costs related to this project, as the follow-on lease has not yet gone into effect.

In connection with the lease we executed upon our acquisition of a 361-acre farm in California in August 2017, we committed to providing up to $4.0 million of capital over the first two years to fund the development of additional vineyard acreage on the farm, which development is expected to be completed completed by August 30, 2019. As stipulated in the lease, we will earn additional rent on the total cost of the improvements as the funds are disbursed by us at an initial annual rate of 6.0%, which is subject to annual escalations. As a result of this project, and assuming full deployment of the capital commitment amount, we expect to receive approximately $2.3 million of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires May 31, 2027. As of September 30, 2017, we have expended or accrued approximately $132,000 related to this project.

~~Litigation~~

time. We are not currently subject to any material known or threatened litigation.

NOTE 8. EQUITY

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

On January 10, 2018, we filed with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation Articles Supplementary to reclassify and designate 6,500,000 shares of our authorized and unissued shares of capital stock as shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below). The reclassification decreased the number of shares classified as common stock from 98,000,000 to 91,500,000.

Stockholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2019, there were 6,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 3,465,527 shares issued and outstanding worth an aggregate liquidation value of approximately $86.6 million; and 91,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 20,888,075 shares issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, there were 6,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 1,144,393 shares issued and outstanding worth an aggregate liquidation value of approximately $28.6 million; and 91,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, authorized, with 17,891,340 shares issued and outstanding.

Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership

We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we owned approximately 98.6% and 96.9%, respectively, of the outstanding OP Units.

The following table provides information related to OP Units tendered for redemption during 2019:



Fiscal Year	OP Units Tendered for Redemption	Shares of Common Stock Issued	OP Units Redeemed with Cash	Aggregate Cash Payment		Aggregate Cash Paid per OP Unit
Three months ended September 30, 2019	0	0	0	$	—	$	—

Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-controlling unitholder redeems OP Units and the Company elects to satisfy that redemption through the issuance of common stock, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.

As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there were 288,303 and 570,879 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding, respectively.

Registration Statement

On March 30, 2017, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) with the SEC (the “2017 Registration Statement”) to replace our previous registration statement, which expired on April 1, 2017. The 2017 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 12, 2017, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $300.0 million in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. Through September 30, 2019, we have issued a total of 7,821,886 shares of common stock (excluding 1,215,565 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain OP Units that were tendered for redemption) for gross proceeds of approximately $96.1 million, and 3,475,047 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) for gross proceeds of approximately $85.6 million under the 2017 Registration Statement.

2019 Equity Issuances

Series B Preferred Stock

On May 31, 2018, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering of up to 6,000,000 shares of our newly-designated 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at an offering price of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of up to $150.0 million and expected net proceeds, after deducting Selling Commissions, Dealer-Manager Fees, and estimated expenses of the offering payable by us, of up to approximately $131.3 million, assuming all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold in the offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is being

offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities, the dealer-manager for the offering. See Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement,” for a discussion of the fees and commissions to be paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the offering of the Series B Preferred Stock.

The following table provides information on sales of the Series B Preferred Stock that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):



Period	Number of Shares Sold	Weighted-average Offering Price per Share		Gross Proceeds		Net Proceeds⁽¹⁾
Three months ended September 30, 2019	831,579	$	24.64	$	20,487	$	18,711
Nine months ended September 30, 2019	2,330,654	24.68		57,529		52,440


⁽¹⁾	Net of selling commissions and dealer-manager fees borne by us.

In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, 2,120 and 9,520 shares, respectively, of the Series B Preferred Stock were tendered for redemption at a cash redemption price of $22.50 per share. As a result, we paid total redemption costs of approximately $48,000 and $214,000, respectively to redeem and retire these shares.

As of September 30, 2019, excluding Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees, we have incurred approximately $1.2 million of total costs related to this offering, which are initially recorded as deferred offering costs (included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and are applied against the gross proceeds received from the offering through additional paid-in capital as shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold. See Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Equity Activity—Series B Preferred Stock,” for sales of Series B Preferred Stock completed subsequent to September 30, 2019.

The offering of the Series B Preferred Stock will terminate on the date that is the earlier of either June 1, 2023 (unless terminated earlier or extended by our Board of Directors), or the date on which all 6,000,000 shares offered are sold (the “Termination Date”). There is currently no public market for shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; however, we intend to apply to list the Series B Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange within one calendar year after the offering’s Termination Date, though there can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such timeframe, or at all.

Common Stock

Secondary Offering

In June 2019, we completed a public offering of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $11.73 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $23.5 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $22.3 million. In July 2019, the underwriters exercised a portion of the over-allotment option in connection with the offering, and, as a result, we issued an additional 277,297 shares of our common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million and net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and direct offering expenses borne by us) of approximately $3.1 million.

At-the-Market Program

On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements (commonly referred to as “at-the-market agreements”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”). The following table provides information on shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program during 2019 (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):



Period	Number of Shares Sold	Weighted-average Offering Price Per Share		Gross Proceeds		Net Proceeds⁽¹⁾
Three months ended September 30, 2019	78,008	$	12.01	$	937	$	923
Nine months ended September 30, 2019	148,559	12.32		1,830		1,802


⁽¹⁾	Net of underwriting commissions and discounts.

Through September 30, 2019, we have issued and sold a total of 1,744,150 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at an average sales price of $12.82 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $22.4 million and net proceeds of approximately $22.0 million.

NOTE 9. LEASE REVENUES

The following table sets forth the components of our lease revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

Lease revenues, net⁽³⁾	$	11,012	$	8,015	$	27,203	$	21,344


⁽¹⁾	Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and includes the amortization of above-market lease values and lease incentives and the accretion of below-market lease values and other deferred revenue.

⁽²⁾

Variable lease payments include participation rents, which are generally based on a percentage of the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants. Participation rents are generally recognized when all contingencies have been resolved and when actual results become known or estimable, enabling us to estimate and/or measure our share of such gross revenues. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded participation rents of approximately $848,000 and $875,000, respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $33,000 and $93,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded participation rents of approximately $889,000 and $906,000, respectively, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $2,000 and $11,000, respectively.

NOTE ~~10.~~11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Acquisition Activity

On October 2, 2017, we added onto one of our existing farms by acquiring an adjacent, 1,280-acre farm in Baca County, Colorado ("JJ Road"), for $900,000. At closing, we entered into a sale-leaseback agreement with the seller for a 4-year, triple-net lease that includes one, 5-year extension option and provides for minimum annualized, straight-line rents of approximately $52,000. We will account for this acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 360.

~~Financing Activity~~

On October 13, 2017, in connection with the acquisition of JJ Road, we closed on a term loan from Rabo AgriFinance, LLC, for $540,000. The loan is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2022, and will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.59% per annum throughout its term.

~~Related-Party Activity~~

On October 17, 2017, our TRS entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Agricultural Lease (the "Assigned TRS Lease") with the previously-existing tenant on one of our farms located in Ventura County, California. The Assigned TRS Lease was then amended to shorten the lease term by two years (the new expiration date is July 31, 2018) and to remove any tenant renewal options. All other terms of the lease remained unchanged, including the rental amounts. In addition, in connection with the initial operations on the farm, on October 17, 2017, our TRS issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the

~~Company that is scheduled to mature on July 31, 2018, and will bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum.~~

As a result of this transaction, the amount of rent and interest our TRS pays to us (as the parent-landlord) will not be qualifying income for purposes of certain of our REIT tests; however, we do not expect such amounts to be at a level where we would be at risk of not qualifying as a REIT. In addition, any taxable income generated by our TRS (whose operations are consolidated within our financial statements) will be subject to regular corporate income taxes, which we will account for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes." At this time, we are unable to estimate the amount of taxable income, if any, that will be generated by our TRS.

~~Equity Activity~~

~~Redemption of OP Units~~

~~On October 6, 2017, 121,875 OP Units were tendered for redemption, and, on October 13, 2017, we issued 121,875 shares of common stock in exchange for 121,875 OP Units.~~

~~ATM Program~~

Subsequent to September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, through the date of this filing, we ~~sold 31,038~~have acquired six farms, which are summarized in the table below (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

⁽²⁾	Annualized straight-line rent is based on the minimum cash rental payments guaranteed under the applicable lease, as required under GAAP, and excludes contingent rental payments, such as participation rents.

⁽³⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new, unrelated third-party tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 3-month lease executed on the date of acquisition. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $630,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.

⁽⁴⁾

In connection with this acquisition, we executed a 4-month leaseback agreement with the seller that provides for a fixed rental payment of $250,000. In addition, we also executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 4-month leaseback agreement. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $372,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.

Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we replaced 17 irrigation pivots on one of our properties in Colorado at a total cost of approximately $1.1 million. Pursuant to a lease amendment executed subsequent to the three months ended September 30, 2019, in connection with this project, we will earn additional straight-line rental income of approximately $80,000 per year throughout the remaining term of the lease, which expires on February 28, 2021.

OVERVIEW

General

We are an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged ~~primarily~~ in the business of owning and leasing farmland. ~~With the exception of one farm in Ventura County, California, which is currently leased (on a temporary basis) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, we~~We are not a grower of crops, nor do we typically farm the properties we own. We currently own 73103 farms comprised of ~~63,074~~86,534 acres located across ~~nine~~10 states in the U.S. ~~(Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington).~~ We also own several farm-related facilities, such as cooling facilities, ~~buildings utilized for the storage and assembly of boxes for shipping produce ("box barns"),~~ packinghouses, processing facilities, and various storage facilities.

We conduct substantially all of our ~~investment~~ activities through, and all of our properties are held, directly or indirectly, by, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Gladstone Land Corporation controls the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and currently owns, directly or indirectly, approximately ~~92.5%~~98.6% of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). In addition, we have elected for Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, to be ~~taxed~~treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary ~~("TRS"~~(“TRS”).

Gladstone Management Corporation (our “Adviser”) manages our real estate portfolio pursuant to an advisory agreement, and Gladstone Administration, LLC (our “Administrator”), provides administrative services to us pursuant to an administration agreement. Our Adviser and our Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and pay directly their salaries, benefits, and general expenses.

Portfolio Diversity

Since our initial public offering in January 2013 (the “IPO”), we have expanded our portfolio from 12 farms leased to 7 different, unrelated tenants to a current portfolio of 103 farms leased to 74 different, unrelated third-party tenants. While our focus remains in farmland suitable for growing fresh produce annual row crops, we have also diversified our portfolio into farmland suitable for other crop types, including permanent crops (e.g., almonds, blueberries, pistachios, and wine grapes) and, to a lesser extent, certain commodity crops (e.g., beans and corn). The following table summarizes the different geographic locations (by state) of our farms owned and with leases in place as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across six of these growing regions.

Leases

General

~~Our farms~~Most of our leases are ~~currently leased to 49 different, third-party tenants that are either independent or corporate farming operations,and, as of October 17, 2017, one farm is leased to our TRS.We primarily lease our farms~~ on a triple-net basis, an arrangement under which, in addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the related taxes, insurance costs, ~~(including drought insurance if we were to acquire properties that depend upon rainwater for irrigation),~~ maintenance, and other operating costs. ~~Generally, our~~Our leases ~~will~~generally have original terms ranging from 3 to 10 years for farms growing row crops and 5 to 15 years for farms growing permanent crops ~~and will contain built-in rental rate increases.~~(in each case, often with options to extend the lease further). Rent is generally payable to us in advance on either an annual or semi-annual basis, with such rent typically subject to periodic escalation clauses provided for within the lease. Currently, 78 of our 73 farms are ~~leased under agricultural leases with original terms ranging from 1 to 15 years, with 47 farms~~ leased on a pure, triple-net basis, 2421 farms are leased on a partial-net basis (with ~~the~~us, as landlord, responsible for all or a portion of the related property taxes), and 24 farms leased on a gross basis (with the landlord responsible for the related property taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property). Additionally, 1230 of our farms are leased under agreements that include a ~~variable~~participation rent component based on the ~~success of~~gross revenues earned on the ~~farms' harvests each year.~~

Subsequent to September 30, 2019, two leases originally scheduled to expire during 2020 were extended through 2025 and 2028, respectively. Collectively, these two leases accounted for approximately 46.4% of the total lease revenues derived from 2020 lease expirations in the table above. See Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Leasing Activity,” within the notes to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these and other lease extensions.

⁽³⁾	Consists of ancillary leases (e.g., oil, gas, and mineral leases, telecommunications leases, etc.) with varying expirations on certain of our farms.

We currently have five agricultural leases scheduled to expire within the next six months, and we have several other agricultural leases scheduled to expire during the second half of 2020. We are currently in discussions with the existing tenants on all of these farms, as well as other potential tenants, and we anticipate being able to renew each of the leases at their respective current market rental rates without incurring any downtime on any of the farms. We currently anticipate the lease renewals on those particular farms subject to agricultural leases scheduled to expire within the next six months to be at rental rates that are more or less equal to that of the respective current leases. Regarding all upcoming lease expirations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the existing leases or execute new leases at rental rates favorable to us, if at all, or be able to find replacement tenants, if necessary.

~~Acquisition~~Acquisitions were accounted for as an asset ~~acquisition under ASC 360.~~acquisitions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” As such, all acquisition-related costs (other than external legal fees associated with negotiating and originating the leases associated with the acquisitions, which costs were expensed in the period incurred) were capitalized and allocated among the identifiable assets acquired.

⁽³⁾	~~Leases also provide for a variable rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the property. The figures above represent only the minimum cash rents guaranteed under the lease.~~

⁽⁴⁾


⁽⁴⁾	As partial consideration for the acquisition of this property, we issued 288,303 OP Units, constituting an aggregate fair value of approximately $3.3 million as of the acquisition date.


⁽⁵⁾	Lease provides for a participation rent component based on the gross crop revenues earned on the farm. The rent figure above represents only the minimum cash guaranteed under the lease.

⁽⁶⁾

In ~~addition, in~~ connection with the ~~execution~~acquisition of this property, we also acquired an ownership in a related LLC, the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to this and other neighboring properties. Our acquired ownership equated to an 11.75% interest in the LLC and was valued at approximately $280,000 at the time of acquisition and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As our investment in the LLC is deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for this investment under the equity method. From the commencement of our ownership in the LLC through September 30, 2019, there was no material income or loss recognized by the LLC; thus, no net income or loss was recorded by us during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

⁽⁷⁾

In connection with this acquisition, we executed two separate lease agreements with two different, unrelated third-party tenants. The lease term of 3.3 years represents the weighted-average lease term of the ~~follow-on~~two leases. In addition, pursuant to one of these lease agreements, we committed to ~~providing~~provide up to $1.0 million ~~of capital~~ for certain irrigation ~~and~~improvements on the property.

⁽⁸⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, ~~improvements.~~we committed to provide up to approximately $4.0 million as additional compensation, contingent upon the County of Napa approving the planting of additional vineyards on up to 47 acres of the property by February 25, 2020. We are currently unable to estimate when this approval will be obtained, if at all. If approval is obtained, we have also committed to contribute up to $40,000 per approved acre for the development of such vineyards. As ~~stipulated~~provided for in the ~~follow-on~~ lease, we will earn additional rent ~~income~~on all of the aforementioned costs, if any, incurred by us.

⁽⁹⁾

In connection with the acquisition of this property, we executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new, unrelated third-party tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the 3-month lease executed on the ~~total cost~~date of acquisition. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $630,000, plus a participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland by 2021.

⁽¹⁰⁾

In connection with this acquisition, we executed a 4-month leaseback agreement with the seller that provides for a fixed rental payment of $250,000. In addition, we also executed a 10-year, follow-on lease with a new tenant that will commence upon the expiration of the ~~improvements as disbursements are made by us at~~4-month leaseback agreement. The follow-on lease provides for minimum annualized straight-line rents of approximately $372,000, plus a ~~rate commensurate with the annual yield~~participation rent component based on the gross revenues earned on the farm. In addition, the farm is expected to be converted to organic farmland ~~(as determined~~ by ~~each year's~~2021.

~~During~~On May 31, 2018, we filed a prospectus supplement with the ~~three months ended September 30, 2017, we renewed the final two agricultural leases that were originally scheduled~~U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a continuous public offering of up to ~~expire in 2017. Each of these leases (which were on two~~6,000,000 shares of our ~~farms in California) were renewed~~newly-designated 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable

Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at an offering price of $25.00 per share for ~~an additional three years for total annualized rents~~gross proceeds of ~~approximately $1.1~~up to $150.0 million ~~representing a decrease of approximately 12.5% (or approximately $163,000) from that~~and expected net proceeds (after deducting dealer-manager fees, selling commissions, and estimated expenses of the ~~prior leases. These renewals were executed without incurring any downtime~~offering payable by us) of up to approximately $131.3 million, assuming all shares of the Series B Preferred Stock are sold in the offering. The Series B Preferred Stock is being offered on a continuous, “reasonable best efforts” basis by Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), our dealer-manager for the offering. See Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on the ~~respective farms, and no leasing commissions or tenant improvements were incurred in connection with these renewals.~~Dealer-Manager Agreement.

~~Project Completion~~

~~In connection with~~The following table summarizes the lease we executed upon our acquisition of an 854-acre farm in California in September 2015, we agreed to fund the development of the property into an almond orchard. The development included the removal of 274 acres of old grape vineyards, the installation of a new irrigation system, including the drilling of four new wells, and the planting of over 800 acres of new almond trees. We completed the project during the three months ended September 30, 2017, at a total cost of approximately $8.4 million, and, as a result, we expect to receive approximately $5.2 million of additional rent throughout the term of the lease, which expires January 9, 2031.

~~TRS Lease Assumption~~

~~On October 17, 2017, our TRS entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Agricultural Lease (the "Assigned TRS Lease") with the previously-existing tenant on one~~sales of our farms located in Ventura County, California. The Assigned TRS Lease was then amended to shorten the lease term by two years (the new expiration date is July 31, 2018) and to remove any tenant renewal options. All other terms of the lease remained unchanged, including the rental amounts. In addition, in connection with the initial operations on the farm, on October 17, 2017, our TRS issued a $1.7 million unsecured promissory note to the CompanySeries B Preferred Stock that ~~is scheduled to mature on July 31, 2018, and will bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 5.0% per annum.~~

As a result of this transaction, the amount of rent and interest our TRS pays to us (as the parent-landlord) will not be qualifying income for purposes of certain of our REIT tests; however, we do not expect such amounts to be at a level where we are at risk of not qualifying as a REIT. In addition, any taxable income generated by our TRS (whose operations are consolidated within our financial statements) will be subject to regular corporate income taxes, which we will account for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes." We are unable to estimate the amount of taxable income, if any, that will be generated by our TRS.

⁽³⁾

In April 2017, we received interest patronage from Farm Credit CFL representing a 15.8% refund of the interest accrued on all borrowings from Farm Credit CFL during the year ended December 31, 2016. This interest patronage reduced the interest rates on our borrowings from Farm Credit CFL during the year ended December 31, 2016, from a weighted-average stated interest rate of 3.47% to a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.93%. We are unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2017 on our Farm Credit CFL borrowings.

~~During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we amended four existing loan agreements with Farm Credit CFL to increase the loan amounts~~offering, such as participating broker-dealers and adjust the principal amortization and interest rate terms as shown in the table above.

~~In February 2017, we received interest patronage from Farm Credit West representing a 21.3% refund~~The offering of the interest accrued on all borrowings from Farm Credit West during the year ended December 31, 2016. This interest patronage reduced the interest rates on our borrowings from Farm Credit West during the year ended December 31, 2016, from a weighted-average stated interest rate of 3.59% to a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.83%. We are unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2017 on our Farm Credit West borrowings.

⁽⁶⁾

This balance was drawn on the MetLife Term Notes, with the proceeds from the disbursement being used to repay a portion of the balance outstanding under the MetLife Lines of Credit (refer to Note 4, "Borrowings," in the notes to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for definitions of each of these terms). The interest rate on the new disbursement under the MetLife Term Notes was blended with the interest rate in place for the previously-existing balance drawn, which resulted in a new, overall blended interest rate on the MetLife Term Notes of 3.30% per annum, which rate is fixed through January 4, 2027.

~~Equity Activity~~Common Stock

~~September 2017~~Secondary Offering

In ~~September 2017,~~June 2019, we completed ~~an overnight~~a public offering of our common stock at a public offering price of ~~$12.25~~$11.73 per share, ~~(the “September 2017 Offering”). Including~~and in July 2019, the ~~underwriters' simultaneous exercise~~underwriters exercised a portion of ~~their~~the over-allotment ~~option, we issued a total of 1,150,000 shares~~offering in connection with the ~~September 2017~~offering (the “June 2019 Offering”). The June 2019 Offering ~~resulting~~resulted in the issuance of an aggregate of 2,277,297 new shares of common stock (including 277,297 shares issued as a result of the underwriters exercising a portion of their over-allotment option) of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately ~~$14.1~~$26.7 million and net proceeds ~~after~~(after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by ~~us,~~us) of approximately ~~$13.4~~$25.4 million. ~~We used the proceeds received from this offering to repay existing indebtedness (which, in turn, was used to fund future farmland acquisitions) and for other general corporate purposes.~~

At-the-Market Program

On August 7, 2015, we entered into equity distribution agreements ~~("Sales Agreements")~~ with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), under which we may issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $30.0 million (the “ATM Program”). ~~On April 13, 2017, we amended~~The following table summarizes the ~~Sales Agreements to reference~~activity under the new universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-217042) (the "2017 Registration Statement"), filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017, and declared effective on April 12, 2017. All other material terms of the Sales Agreements remained the same.

~~Since~~ATM Program from July 1, ~~2017,~~2019, through the date of this filing we sold 465,439 shares of our common stock under the ATM Program at an average sales price of $12.95 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $6.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $5.9 million. To date, we have sold 530,000 shares of our common stock at an average sales price of $12.62 per share under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $6.7 million and net proceeds of approximately $6.6 million.

~~OP Unit Redemptions~~

Since July 1, 2017, through the date of this filing, a total of 343,750 OP Units were tendered for redemption. As a result, the Company issued 171,875 shares of common stock (in exchange for 171,875 of the tendered OP Units), and we satisfied the redemption of the remaining 171,875 of the tendered OP Units with a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million (approximately $13.21 per OP Unit). Currently, there are 1,105,508 OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners outstanding, of which 871,556 are eligible to be tendered for redemption.

~~Portfolio Diversity~~

Since our initial public offering in January 2013 (the “IPO”), we have expanded our portfolio from 12 farms leased to 7 different, unrelated tenants to a current portfolio of 73 farms leased to 49 different, unrelated tenants (plus one related-party tenant). While our focus remains in farmland suitable for growing fresh produce annual row crops, we have also begun to diversify our portfolio into farmland suitable for other crop types, including permanent crops, consisting primarily of almonds, pistachios and blueberries, and certain commodity crops, consisting primarily of corn and beans. The following table summarizes the different sources of revenues for our properties with leases in place as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (dollars in thousands):

The ~~following table summarizes the different geographic locations~~majority of our ~~properties~~debt is at fixed rates, and we currently have very limited exposure to variable-rate debt based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is anticipated to be phased out during late 2021. LIBOR is currently expected to transition to a new standard rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which will incorporate certain overnight repo market data collected from multiple data sets. The current intent is to adjust the SOFR to minimize the differences between the interest that a borrower would be paying using LIBOR versus what it will be paying SOFR. We are currently monitoring the transition and cannot yet assess whether SOFR will become a standard rate for variable-rate debt. However, as our lines of credit with ~~leases~~MetLife are currently based upon one-month LIBOR, we expect we will need to renegotiate this agreement in ~~place as of~~the future.

Our Adviser and Administrator

We are externally managed pursuant to a contractual ~~investment advisory arrangement (the “Advisory Agreement”)~~arrangements with our Adviser ~~under~~and our Administrator (both affiliates of ours), which ~~our Adviser directly employs certain~~collectively employ all of our personnel and ~~pays~~pay their ~~payroll,~~salaries, benefits, and general expenses ~~directly,~~directly. The investment advisory agreement with our Adviser, as amended from time to time, and ~~our Administrator provides administrative services to us pursuant to a separate~~the administration agreement with our

Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. David Gladstone, our chairman and chief executive officer. In addition, two of our executive officers, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Terry Brubaker (our vice chairman and chief operating officer), serve as directors and executive officers of each of our Adviser and Administrator. Mr. Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, also serves as our Administrator’s president. On April 11, 2017, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Amended Advisory Agreement")became effective February 1, 2013. The advisory agreement with our Adviser that ~~became effective beginning with the three months ended~~was in effect through June 30, ~~2017. Our entrance into~~2019 (the “Prior Advisory Agreement”), was amended on July 9, 2019 (as amended, the ~~Amended~~“Amended Advisory ~~Agreement~~Agreement”), and was approved unanimously by our board of directors, including ~~specifically,~~ our independent directors.

A summary of the Prior Advisory Agreement is provided in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K, and a summary of the compensation terms for each of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement is provided in Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial ~~statements in our 2016 Form 10-K. A summary of the compensation terms for the~~statements.

The Amended Advisory Agreement ~~is below.~~

~~Amended Advisory Agreement~~

~~Pursuant~~was revised to exclude preferred equity from both the ~~Amended Advisory Agreement,~~base management fee and incentive fee calculations, effective beginning with the fee calculations for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2017,~~2019. We expect this amendment to result in a decrease to our ~~Adviser is compensated as follows:~~

Agross base management fee, ~~is paid quarterly and~~as the previous base management fee calculation also calculated a fee on preferred equity securities that were not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes, whereas all preferred equity securities (including those treated as temporary or permanent equity for GAAP purposes) will be ~~calculated as 2.0% per annum (0.50% per quarter)~~excluded from the calculation of the ~~prior calendar quarter's total adjusted equity, which is defined as total equity plus total mezzanine equity, if any, each as reported on~~base management fee under the Amended Advisory Agreement. In addition, we expect that the potential for our ~~balance sheet, adjusted~~Adviser to ~~exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items ("Total Adjusted Equity").~~

Anearn an incentive fee ~~is calculated and payable quarterly~~will be higher in ~~arrears if~~future periods, as an incentive fee was previously earned under the Prior Advisory Agreement when Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined ~~below) for~~in the Prior Advisory Agreement) exceeded a ~~particular quarter exceeds a~~certain hurdle rate of ~~1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter's Total Adjusted Equity. For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in~~total equity (as reported on our balance sheet), whereas, under the Amended Advisory Agreement, asPre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined in the Amended Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends paid on preferred stock securities that are not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. Our Adviser will receive: (i) no Incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).

A capital gains-based incentive fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Amended Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property's original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.

~~In the event of our termination of the Amended Advisory Agreement (or in the event of non-renewal~~compared against total common equity (including common OP Units owned by us) for any reason (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.

~~We expect this amendment to result in an increase to our base management fee in future periods, as the previous base management fee calculation did not include~~ non-controlling ~~interests in our Operating Partnership. In addition, if, in the future, we choose to issue either securities that are classified as mezzanine~~OP Unitholders, but excluding all preferred equity or preferred stock that is required to be treated as permanent equity under GAAP, these amounts will increase the base on which our base management fee is calculated, whereas they were excluded in the from the calculation of our base management fee before the Amended Advisory Agreement went into effect. However, we expect our overall incentive fee (including the capital gains-based incentive fee) to be lower in future periods due to: (i) a higher base management fee (which will result in a lower Pre-Incentive Fee FFO) and (ii) a lower fee on any capital gains we may realize, as the previous incentive fee calculation essentially included a 20% fee on realized capital gains.

securities).

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our ~~2016~~ Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

Smaller Reporting Company Status

We currently qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $250 million or less than $100 million in annual revenues for the previous year and no public float. Companies can also qualify as a smaller reporting company if they have annual revenues of less than $100 million for the previous year and a public float of less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings, including the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the purposes of the following discussions on certain operating revenues and expenses:

With regard to the comparison between the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 versus ~~2016:~~2018:


◦	Same-property basis represents ~~properties that were~~farms owned as of June 30, ~~2016,~~2018, and were not vacant at any point during either period presented;


◦	Properties acquired ~~during the prior-year period~~or disposed of are ~~properties~~farms that were either acquired ~~during the three months ended~~or disposed of at any point subsequent to June 30, 2018. From July 1, 2018, through September 30, ~~2016;~~

~~Rental revenues on~~The following table provides a same-property basis increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, by 1.4% and 3.2%, respectively. These increases were primarily due to our general ability to renew existing leases at higher rates and earn additional revenue on capital improvements constructed on certain properties; however, these increases were partially offset (particularly in the three months ended September 30, 2017) by the recent renewals of two leases on twosummary of our ~~California farms that resulted in a 12.5% decrease to the aggregate rental rate on the two farms. Rental~~lease revenues from acquired properties increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, due to the additional revenues recorded from owning the 9 and 13 farms we acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, respectively,~~2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

⁽¹⁾	Tenant reimbursements represent tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses on certain of our farms, including property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses. Corresponding amounts were also recorded as property operating expenses during the respective periods.

Same-property Basis – 2019 compared to 2018

Lease revenues from fixed lease payments increased for each of the ~~full~~ three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017, coupled with~~2019, primarily due to recent renewals of certain leases at higher rental rates, as well as additional rents earned on recent capital improvements completed on certain of our farms.These increases were partially offset by the ~~additional~~renewals of certain other leases, in which we decreased the fixed base rent component in exchange for adding in a participation rent component to the lease structure.

Lease revenues ~~earned~~ from participation rents decreased for each of the ~~16 new farms we acquired subsequent to~~three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2016. We had one farm in Florida that was vacant for a portion~~2019, primarily due to the timing of when certain information (including harvest and crop sale figures) is made available to us. During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016. Rental revenues~~2019, we recorded participation rents from ~~this farm increased for~~three and five farms, respectively, as compared to six and eight farms during the respective prior-year periods. We currently expect to recognize participation rents on the remaining farms with a participation rent component during the three months ~~ended September 30,~~ending December 31, 2019.

Other – 2019 compared to 2018

Lease revenues from both fixed rents and participation rents increased for each of the three- and nine-month periods, primarily due to additional revenues earned on new farms acquired subsequent to December 31, 2017, partially offset by the loss of revenue from a farm that was sold in July 2018.

Lease revenues from vacant or self-operated properties increased for each of the three- and ~~decreased for~~nine-month periods, primarily due to the revenues earned during 2019 on farms that were either vacant or operated by Land Advisers during a portion of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, this increase was partially offset by lost revenues from two farms that were vacant for a portion of the current-year period.

The increase in tenant reimbursements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year ~~periods. In June 2016, the lease~~periods, was due to additional contractual reimbursements of property taxes on ~~the~~certain of our farms.

Other Operating Revenues:

Other operating revenues primarily represent revenue earned from sales of harvested crops on a farm that was ~~terminated early, and~~operated by Land Advisers from October 17, 2017, until July 31, 2018, at which time the farm was ~~subsequently re-leased at~~leased to a ~~lower rental rate, which drove~~new, unrelated third-party tenant under a 10-year lease.

Operating Expenses

Depreciation and Amortization

The following table provides a summary of the ~~decrease for~~depreciation and amortization expense recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017. However, we were able to renew the lease at an increased rental rate in August 2017, which led to an increase for the three months ended September 30, 2017.~~

~~Other Operating Revenues~~

~~Tenant recovery revenue represents real estate taxes~~2019 and insurance premiums paid on certain of our properties that, per the respective leases, are required to be reimbursed to us by the tenant.

For our one property with vacancy, the decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, was due to an early lease termination, which resulted in the recognition of the remaining unamortized balance of the related lease intangibles directly into amortization expense.

Property operating expenses consist primarily of real estate taxes, insurance expense, and other overhead expenses paid for certain of our properties. Property operating expenses on a same-property basis increased by approximately $35,000 and $87,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to the respective prior-year periods. These increases were primarily driven by a net increase in aggregate property tax expense (due to one of our pure, triple-net leases converting to a partial-net lease during the three months ended December 31, 2016, partially offset by a decrease in property taxes on certain properties that were entered into land conservation contracts under the California Land Conservation Act, which restricts the land to agricultural use and reduces the property tax assessment), as well as additional expenses incurred related to obtaining certain permits on one of our California properties. Property operating expenses on acquired properties increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to additional property taxes and other operating expenses owed on certain of the new farms we acquired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and subsequent to September 30, 2016. On our overall portfolio, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we accrued approximately $177,000 and $501,000,

~~respectively, of aggregate real estate taxes related to certain of our farms, as compared to approximately $111,000 and $355,000 for the respective prior-year periods.~~

~~Other Operating Expenses~~

Acquisition-related expenses generally consist of legal fees and fees incurred for third-party reports prepared in connection with potential acquisitions and the related due diligence analyses. Acquisition-related expenses decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to the differences in accounting treatment of such expenses incurred in connection with the properties acquired ~~during each~~or disposed of the respective periods or expected to be acquired in the near future (i.e., acquisition costs are capitalized under ASC 360 if the acquisition is considered an asset acquisition, whereas such costs are expensed under ASC 805 if the acquisition is treated as a business combination). With our early adoption of ASU 2017-01, as defined in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements," in the notes to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we anticipate that most of our acquisitions will be treated as asset acquisitions, which will result in lower acquisition-related expenses, as the majority of these costs will be capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the purchase price. As of September 30, 2017, we have capitalized approximately $21,000 of acquisition-related costs (which costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017) related to farms we expect to acquire during the three months ending December 31, 2017, as these acquisitions are reasonably assured to be completed and are expected to be treated as asset acquisitions. These costs are included in Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017.

~~The aggregate net fees to our Adviser, including both the management and incentive fees and any credits to those fees,~~ increased for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to the additional depreciation and amortization expense incurred on the new farms acquired subsequent to December 31, 2017. Depreciation and amortization expense from vacant or self-operated properties remained relatively flat for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods.

Property-operating Expenses

Property operating expenses consist primarily of real estate taxes, repair and maintenance expense, insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous operating expenses paid for certain of our properties. In addition, from approximately July 2018 through June 2019, we incurred additional expenses related to temporary generator rental costs to power newly-drilled wells on one of our properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, these wells were connected to permanent power sources, and the generator rentals were no longer needed. The following table provides a summary of the property-operating expenses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Corresponding amounts were also recorded as lease revenues during the respective periods.

Same-property Basis – 2019 compared to 2018

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, property operating expenses on a same-property basis decreased, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily driven by a decrease in costs incurred for the above-referenced generator rentals. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, property-operating expenses on a same-property basis increased, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in generator rental costs, as well as incurring additional expenses related to obtaining certain permits on one of our California properties.

Other – 2019 compared to 2018

Property operating expenses on properties acquired or disposed of increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to additional miscellaneous property-operating expenses incurred on certain of the new farms we acquired subsequent to December 31, 2017. Property operating expenses on vacant or self-operated properties increased for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to increases in property tax assessments on a farm that was vacant during a portion of 2018. Property operating expenses on vacant or self-operated properties decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the farm that was operated by Land Advisers during a portion of 2018 being leased to an unrelated third-party tenant under a triple-net lease agreement during the entirety of 2019. The increase in tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, was due to additional property taxes paid by us on certain of our properties, for which the tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse us per the respective leases.

Related-Party Fees

The base management and incentive fees due to our Adviser, net of any credits, increased for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to additional common equity raised, and decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to increased fee credits during the current-year period, as compared to the respective prior-year periods.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the gross base management fee increased by approximately ~~$138,000~~$172,000 and ~~$288,000,~~$639,000, respectively, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to additional common equity raised since January 1, ~~2016.~~2018, partially offset (for the three months ended September 30, 2019, only) by a change in the calculation of the base management fee pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement. From January 1, ~~2016,~~2018, through September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we have raised approximately ~~$38.8~~$148.9 million of aggregate net proceeds (net of both direct costs and allocated indirect ~~costs)~~costs and net of redemptions) through sales of our Series B Preferred Stock, follow-on common stock offerings, and our ATM Program, ~~increasing~~all of which increased the base on which the base management fee iswas calculated ~~which, until March 31, 2017, was the book value of our common stockholders' equity. Pursuant to the Amended Advisory Agreement, which became effective beginning~~through June 30, 2019. Effective with the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the base ~~on which the~~ management fee ~~is calculated~~calculation was ~~adjusted~~amended to ~~include, among other items,~~exclude all preferred securities (including our Series B Preferred Stock). See Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Our Adviser and Administrator—Amended Advisory Agreement,” in the ~~balance of non-controlling interests in~~accompanying notes to our ~~operating partnership, which~~condensed consolidated financial statements for further ~~increased~~discussion on the Amended Advisory Agreement. In addition, our Adviser granted us non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waivers to be applied against the base management fee ~~recorded for~~of approximately $0 and $1.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~ ~~Our Adviser also earned incentive fees~~2019, respectively, and approximately $18,000 and $192,000 during each of the periods presented, due to our pre-incentive fee funds from operations exceeding the required hurdle rate of the equity base applicable to each period (which was total stockholders' equity through March 31, 2017, as stipulated in our Advisory Agreement; and, beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2017, was Total Adjusted Equity (which includes non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership), as stipulated in our Amended Advisory Agreement). The incentive fees earned by our Adviser (net of credits) for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, increased by~~2018, respectively.

Our Adviser also earned a capital gains fee of approximately ~~$185,000~~$778,000 during the three and ~~$453,000, respectively, compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to increased rental revenues earned on properties acquired during and subsequent to the~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2016, outpacing~~2018, as a result of the ~~operating expenses (other than depreciation~~gain recognized on the sale of one of our farms in Oregon during the three months ended September 30, 2018. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2018, our Adviser elected to credit the full amount of the capital gains fee back to us via a non-contractual, unconditional, and ~~amortization expense) incurred on such properties.~~ irrevocable waiver.

The ~~credit~~administration fee paid to our Administrator decreased for the ~~incentive fee of $54,000 that was recorded for~~ each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, represents an irrevocable waiver granted by our Adviser. See "Our Adviser and Administrator—Amended Advisory Agreement" above for further discussion on changes to the compensation terms stipulated in the Amended Advisory Agreement.

~~The administration fee paid to our Administrator increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,~~2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to ~~higher overall costs incurred by our Administrator and~~ us using a ~~higher~~lower share of our Administrator’s resources in relation to those used by other funds and affiliated companies serviced by our ~~Administrator during each~~Administrator.

Other Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees, director fees, stockholder-related expenses, overhead insurance, acquisition-related costs for investments no longer being pursued, and other miscellaneous expenses. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily driven by higher professional fees (specifically, increased auditing and accounting-related expenses), partially offset by decreases in acquisition-related costs expensed and bad debt expense.

Other operating expenses represent the portion of growing costs, harvesting and selling costs, and certain overhead costs allocated to the costs of crops sold on a farm that was operated by Land Advisers from October 17, 2017, until July 31, 2018. During the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~

~~General~~2018, we allocated approximately $175,000 and ~~administrative expenses increased for each~~$7.7 million, respectively, of costs to the crops sold during the respective periods (excluding the allocation of fees earned by our Adviser from Land Advisers of approximately $15,000 and $176,000, respectively). Additionally, our Adviser granted Land Advisers a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiver of approximately $16,000 and $190,000, respectively, to be applied against a portion of the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared~~fees incurred by our Adviser on behalf of Land Advisers pursuant to the ~~respective prior-year periods. These increases were primarily driven by increased accounting fees (due~~TRS Expense Sharing Agreement. Effective August 1, 2018, the farm was leased to ~~additional expenses related to new acquisitions and higher tax preparation fees), along with additional costs associated with the implementation of~~ a new, ~~accounting system (which was completed during the three months ended June 30, 2016) and increased marketing and advertising efforts during the current year. These increases were largely offset by~~unrelated third-party tenant under a decrease in bad debt expense, as we wrote off approximately $21,000 and $85,000 of deferred rent asset balances during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, related to a lease on one of our Florida farms that was terminated prior to its expiration. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, we wrote off approximately $46,000 of unallocated costs associated with the initial filing of our prior universal registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-194539) (the "2014 Registration Statement"), which was replaced with the 2017 Registration Statement.

10-year lease.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income, which generally consists ~~primarily~~ of interest patronage received from Farm Credit (as defined in Note 4, “Borrowings,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and interest earned on short-term investments, increased for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was driven by a commission rebate received in ~~other~~connection with a property acquired during the period and, through July 31, 2019, contractual payments received from a potential buyer of one of our farms pursuant to a reinstated sale agreement to keep the purchase option open (which amounts were nonrefundable and were recognized as income ~~during~~upon receipt). This sale agreement was terminated in August 2019. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, was primarily ~~due to~~driven by additional interest patronage received from Farm ~~Credit.~~Credit (due to increased borrowings from Farm Credit). During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2019, we recorded approximately ~~$183,000~~$700,000 of interest patronage from Farm Credit related to interest accrued during ~~2016,~~2018, compared to ~~$94,000~~approximately $323,000 of interest patronage ~~received~~recorded during the prior-year period. The receipt of ~~this~~ interest patronage received from Farm Credit during

2019 resulted in a ~~17.2%~~21.2% decrease (approximately 6195 basis points) into our effective interest rate on our aggregate borrowings from Farm Credit during the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $110,000 of income as a result of accumulated deferred revenue related to a sale agreement for one of our farms that was terminated. Payments received from the potential buyer of the farm were initially deferred and were recognized as income upon termination of the agreement.

Interest expense increased for ~~both~~each of the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, as compared to the respective prior-year periods, primarily due to increased overall borrowings. The weighted-average principal balance of our aggregate borrowings (excluding our ~~6.375%~~ Series A ~~Cumulative~~ Term Preferred ~~Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Term Preferred Stock"))~~Stock) outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, was approximately ~~$291.3~~$420.9 million and ~~$265.2~~$367.7 million, respectively, as compared to ~~$181.1~~approximately $312.5 million and ~~$169.5~~$304.7 million ~~respectively,~~ for the respective prior-year periods. Including interest patronage received on certain of our Farm Credit borrowings, the overall effective interest rate charged on our aggregate borrowings (excluding the impact of ~~deferred financing~~debt issuance costs) was ~~3.44%~~4.03% and ~~3.24%~~3.71% for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, respectively, as compared to ~~3.29%~~3.76% and ~~3.20%, respectively,~~3.49% for the respective prior-year periods.

During ~~the~~each of three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we paid aggregate distributions on our Series A Term Preferred Stock (which distributions are treated similar to interest expense) of approximately $458,000 and $1.4 million, ~~respectively, as compared~~respectively. The same amounts were paid in each of the respective prior-year periods.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a net loss, primarily related to ~~approximately $219,000 for~~the disposal of certain irrigation improvements on two of our farms. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a net capital gain, primarily driven by a sale of one of our farms in Oregon.

The net property and casualty recoveries (losses) recorded during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016. The offering of the Term Preferred Stock was completed in August 2016.~~

~~In connection with an ongoing project on one of our farms in Oregon, for which we are providing the capital to fund, among other improvements, irrigation upgrades~~2019, and ~~the planting of new blueberry bushes, certain blueberry bushes owned by us were removed~~ during the ~~three~~nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, related to ~~allow for~~natural disasters that damaged certain irrigation improvements on two of our properties and the planting of new varieties of blueberry bushes. The bushes that were removed (and that were owned by us) had a net cost basis of approximately $55,000 at the time of their removal. In addition, we incurred approximately $23,000 of removal costs. As such, we recorded a total loss of approximately $78,000insurance recoveries received related to the ~~removal~~damaged improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we estimated the aggregate carrying value of ~~these bushes,~~the damaged improvements to be approximately $74,000. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received insurance recoveries of approximately $17,000 and $84,000, respectively, which ~~is recorded as Loss on disposal~~resulted in net property and casualty recoveries of ~~real estate asset on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations~~approximately $17,000 and $10,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2019, respectively. For the loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we estimated the aggregate carrying value of the damaged improvements to be approximately $129,000, and we recognized the write-down in the carrying value of the assets as a property and casualty loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The loss on write-down of crop inventory recorded during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was the result of unsold crops grown on the farm operated by Land Advisers. Due to certain market conditions during 2018, we were unable to sell all of the crops and therefore assessed their market value to be zero. Accordingly, we wrote down the cost of crop inventory to its estimated market value of zero and recorded a loss during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

~~Since our IPO in January 2013, we have invested approximately $406.6 million into 61 new farms, and we have expended or accrued an additional $19.2 million for improvements on existing properties.~~ Our current short- and long-term sources of funds include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, borrowings (including the undrawn commitments available under the MetLife Facility, ~~and the Farmer Mac Facility)~~as defined below under “—Debt Capital”), and issuances of additional equity securities. Our current available liquidity is approximately ~~$15.0~~$13.4 million, consisting of approximately $3.1 million in cash on hand and, based on the current level of collateral pledged, ~~$11.9~~approximately $10.3 million of availability under the MetLife Facility ~~subject~~(subject to compliance with ~~covenants.~~

As of September 30, 2017, our total-debt-to-total-capitalization ratio (including our Term Preferred Stock as debt), at book value, was 73.3%, compared to 72.8% as of December 31, 2016. However, on a fair value basis, our total-debt-to-total capitalization ratio (including our Term Preferred Stock as debt) as of September 30, 2017, was 60.7%, which is up from 59.3% as of December 31, 2016 (see “Non-GAAP Financial Information—Net Asset Value” below for an explanation of our fair value process)covenants).

Future Capital Needs

Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of making distributions to stockholders (including to non-controlling OP ~~Unitholders)~~Unitholders, if any) to maintain our qualification as a REIT, funding our general operating costs, making principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings, making dividend payments on our Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and, as capital is available, funding new farmland and farm-related acquisitions consistent with our investment strategy.

We believe that our current and short-term cash resources will be sufficient to fund our distributions to stockholders (including non-controlling OP Unitholders), service our debt, pay dividends on our Series A Term Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and fund our current operating costs in the near term. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future equity issuances (including, but not limited to, shares of common stock through our

ATM Program, OP Units through our Operating Partnership as consideration for future

acquisitions, and shares of ~~common stock through~~ our ~~ATM Program)~~Series B Preferred Stock), long-term mortgage indebtedness and bond issuances, and other secured and unsecured borrowings.

We intend to use a significant portion of any current and future available liquidity to purchase additional farms and farm-related ~~properties.~~facilities. We continue to actively seek and evaluate acquisitions of additional farms and farm-related ~~properties~~facilities that satisfy our investment criteria, and our pipeline of potential acquisitions remains healthy.

Operating Activities

The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments we receive from our tenants, which is first used to fund our property-level operating expenses, with any excess cash being primarily used for principal and interest payments on our borrowings, management fees to our Adviser, administrative fees to our Administrator, and other corporate-level expenses. ~~The decrease in cash~~Cash provided by operating activities increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to additional rental payments received from recent acquisitions, partially offset by increased property operating expenses (driven by temporary generator rental costs for newly-drilled wells on one of our properties) incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to the receipt of two years of prepaid rent upon the closing of the three farms we acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016, largely offset by additional rental payments received from farms we have acquired since September 30, 2016.2019.

Investing Activities

The increase in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, as compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to an increase in aggregate cash paid for acquisitions of new farms and capital improvements on existing farms during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, which ~~exceeded that of the prior-year period by~~was approximately ~~$51.8 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $6.7~~$161.0 million ~~in cash paid for capital improvements made on existing properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to~~more than the prior-year period.

Financing Activities

The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, as compared to the prior-year period, was primarily due to ~~increased~~increases in net borrowings ~~as our~~of approximately $101.2 million and net ~~borrowings~~cash proceeds from equity issuances (including the Series B Preferred Stock and common stock) of approximately $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, were approximately $39.7 million more than~~2019, as compared to that of the prior-year period, as well as the $38.5 million of aggregate net cash proceeds received from two overnight common stock offerings and additional issuances of common stock under our ATM Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These increases were partially offset by the receipt of approximately $27.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance of our Term Preferred Stock during the prior-year period.

Debt Capital

MetLife

As amended on ~~October 5, 2016, in aggregate,~~December 15, 2017, our facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company ~~("MetLife"~~(“MetLife”) consists of ~~$150.0~~a total of $200.0 million of term notes and ~~$50.0~~$75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the ~~"MetLife Facility"~~“MetLife Facility”). In aggregate, we currently have approximately ~~$131.2~~$163.9 million outstanding under the term notes that ~~bear~~bears interest at a blended fixed rate of ~~3.30%~~3.46% per annum (which rate is fixed until January 5, 2027) and ~~$6.1~~$12.7 million outstanding under the lines of credit that currently ~~bear~~bears interest at ~~3.60%~~a weighted-average rate of 4.03% (which isrates are variable). While approximately ~~$57.4~~$83.8 million of the full commitment amount under the MetLife Facility remains undrawn (including ~~approximately $5.3 million of aggregate~~ amortizing principal payments made on the term notes), based on the ~~current~~ level of collateral pledged, we currently have approximately ~~$11.9~~$10.3 million of availability under the ~~facility.~~MetLife Facility. In addition, we are currently in discussions with MetLife to extend the draw period applicable to the term

notes under the facility, which is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2019, though we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Farmer Mac

As amended on June 16, 2016, our agreement with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("(“Farmer ~~Mac"~~Mac”) ~~provides~~provided for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $125.0 million (the ~~"Farmer~~“Farmer Mac ~~Facility"~~Facility”). To date, we have issued aggregate bonds of approximately $85.9 million under the Farmer Mac Facility, and we currently have $84.5 million of bonds outstanding that bears interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.13% (which rates are fixed throughout the bonds' respective terms) and have a weighted-average maturity date of June 2021. While approximately $39.1 million of the full commitment balance remains undrawn, we currently have no additional availability under the Farmer Mac Facility based on the current level of collateral pledged. However, we expect to pledge certain additional potential new property acquisitions as collateral under the Farmer Mac Facility to utilize some or all of this remaining commitment balance. If we have not issued bonds such that the aggregate bond issuances total $125.0 million by December 11, 2018, after which Farmer Mac ~~has~~had the option to be relieved of its obligation to purchase additional bonds under this facility. As of December 11, 2018, we had issued aggregate bonds of approximately $108.7 million under the Farmer Mac Facility, and Farmer Mac is not obligated to purchase the remaining unissued bonds. We are currently in discussions with Farmer Mac to both expand the size of the facility and extend the borrowing period; however, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach terms favorable to us, if at all. We currently have $90.4 million of bonds outstanding under the facility that bear interest at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.55% (which rates are fixed throughout the bonds’ respective terms) and have a weighted-average maturity date of November 2022.

Farm Credit

Since September ~~19,~~ 2014, we have closed on 1530 separate loans with ~~five~~10 different Farm Credit associations ~~(including Farm Credit CFL, Farm Credit West, CF Farm Credit, Farm Credit FL, and NW Farm Credit, each as defined in~~(for additional information, see Note 4, ~~"Borrowings,"~~“Borrowings,” in the accompanying notes to our ~~accompanying~~ condensed consolidated financial statements) for an aggregate amount of approximately ~~$64.7~~$194.0 million (the ~~"Farm~~“Farm Credit Notes ~~Payable"~~Payable”). We currently have approximately ~~$60.6~~$182.6 million outstanding under the Farm Credit Notes Payable that bear interest at an expected weighted-average effective interest rate (net of expected interest patronage) of ~~3.36%~~3.73% (which rates are fixed, on a weighted-average basis, until ~~January, 2023)~~May 2026) and have a weighted-average maturity date of ~~December, 2030.~~February 2036. While we do not ~~currently~~ have any additional availability under any of our Farm Credit programs based on the properties currently pledged as collateral, we expect to enter into additional borrowing agreements with existing and new Farm Credit associations in connection with certain potential new acquisitions in the future.

Equity Capital

~~During 2017,~~The following table provides information on equity sales that have occurred since January 1, 2019, through the date of this filing we have completed two separate overnight common stock offerings and have also issued shares of common stock through our ATM Program. In the aggregate, through these transactions, we have issued and sold a total of 3,441,188 shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $40.8 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $38.8 million. We used the proceeds received from these offerings to fund new acquisitions, repay existing indebtedness (which,(dollars in ~~turn, was used to fund future farmland acquisitions), and for other general corporate purposes.~~thousands, except per-share amounts):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed funds from operations (“FFO”) as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate

historically has not depreciated on the same basis as determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We further present core FFO (“CFFO”) and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) as additional non-GAAP financial measures of our operational performance, as we believe both CFFO and AFFO improve comparability on a period-over-period basis and are more useful supplemental metrics for investors to use in assessing our operational performance on a more sustainable basis than FFO. We believe that these additional performance metrics provide investors with additional insight to how management measures our ongoing performance, as each of CFFO and AFFO (and their respective per-share amounts) are used by management and our board of directors, as appropriate, in assessing overall performance, as well as in certain decision-making analysis, including, but not limited to, the timing of acquisitions and potential equity raises (and the type of securities to offer in any such equity raises), the determination of any fee credits, and declarations of distributions on our common stock. We believe that net income is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO.

Specifically, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in better understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, as we believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, particularly with farmland real estate, the value of which does not diminish in a predictable manner over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. Further, we believe that CFFO and AFFO are helpful in understanding our operating performance in that it removes certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable on a period-over-period basis and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance. In addition, we believe that providing CFFO and AFFO as additional performance metrics allows investors to gauge our overall performance in a manner that is more similar to how our performance is measured by management (including their respective per-share amounts), as well as by analysts and the overall investment community.

We calculate CFFO by adjusting FFO for the following items:

~~Acquisition-related~~Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses. ~~Acquisition-related~~Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses ~~(i.e.,~~(including due diligence ~~costs)~~costs on acquisitions not consummated and certain auditing and accounting fees incurred directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions) are incurred for investment purposes and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our existing portfolio. Further, ~~due~~certain auditing and accounting fees incurred vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions or dispositions completed during a period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred and how they have historically been treated for accounting purposes, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis.

~~Acquisition-related accounting fees~~. Certain auditing and accounting fees we incur are directly related to acquisitions and vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions completed during a period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our results on a period-to-period basis.

Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-recurring charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we modified our definitions of CFFO and AFFO to exclude the net incremental impact of the farming operations conducted through Land Advisers, as we do not anticipate this to be an ongoing aspect of our core operations. As such, we believe the exclusion of these amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply the same modified definitions of CFFO and AFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.

Further, we calculate AFFO by adjusting CFFO for the following items:

Rent adjustments. This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, other deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. In addition to these adjustments, we also modify ~~our~~the calculation inof cash rents within our definition of AFFO to provide greater consistency and comparability due to the period-to-period volatility in which cash rents are received. To coincide with our tenants’ harvest seasons, our leases typically provide for cash rents to be paid at various points throughout the lease year, usually annually or semi-annually. As a result, cash rents received during a particular period may not necessarily be comparable to other periods or represent the cash rents indicative of a given lease year. Therefore, we further adjust AFFO to normalize the cash rent received pertaining to a lease year over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned.

Amortization of ~~deferred financing~~debt issuance costs. The amortization of costs incurred to obtain financing is excluded from AFFO, as it is a non-cash expense item that is not directly related to the operating performance of our properties.

We believe the foregoing adjustments aid our ~~investors'~~investors’ understanding of our ongoing operational performance.

FFO, CFFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a

measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparisons of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, using the NAREIT definition for

FFO and the definitions above for CFFO and AFFO, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the definitions used by such REITs.

Diluted funds from operations ("(“Diluted ~~FFO"~~FFO”), diluted core funds from operations ("(“Diluted ~~CFFO"~~CFFO”), and diluted adjusted funds from operations ("(“Diluted ~~AFFO"~~AFFO”) per share are FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, respectively, divided by the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding on a fully-diluted basis during a period. We believe that diluted earnings ~~(loss)~~ per share is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share. Because many REITs provide Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs.

We believe that FFO, CFFO, and AFFO and Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and EPS in evaluating net income.

The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share, using the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding during the respective periods (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Net Asset Value

Real estate companies are required to record real estate using the historical cost basis of the real estate, adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization, and, as a result, the carrying value of the real estate does not typically change as the fair value of the assets change. Thus, ~~a difficulty in owning shares of a real estate-based company~~one challenge is determining the fair value of the real estate ~~so that~~in order to allow stockholders ~~can~~to see the value of the real estate increase or decrease over ~~time. For this reason,~~time, which we believe ~~determining the fair value of our real estate assets~~ is useful to our investors.

Determination of Fair Value

Our Board of Directors reviews and approves the valuations of our properties pursuant to a valuation policy approved by our Board of Directors (the “Valuation Policy”). Such review and approval occurs in three phases: (i) prior to its quarterly

meetings, the Board of Directors receives written valuation recommendations and supporting materials that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator, with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer, who is also employed by the Administrator (collectively, the “Valuation Team”); (ii) the valuation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Valuation Committee”), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, meets to review the valuation recommendations and supporting materials; and (iii) after the Valuation Committee concludes its meeting, it and the chief valuation officer present the Valuation Committee’s findings to the entire Board of Directors so that the full Board of Directors may review and approve the fair values of our properties in accordance with the Valuation Policy. Further, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors reviews the Valuation Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Valuation Policy consistently.

Per the Valuation Policy, our valuations are generally derived based on the following:

For properties acquired within 12 months prior to the date of valuation, the purchase price of the property will generally be used as the current fair value unless overriding factors apply. In situations where OP Units are issued as partial or whole consideration in connection with the acquisition of a property, the fair value of the property will generally be the lower of: (i) the agreed-upon purchase price between the seller and the buyer (as shown in the purchase and sale agreement or contribution agreement and using the agreed-upon pricing of the OP Units, if applicable), or (ii) the value as determined by an independent, third-party appraiser.

For real estate we acquired more than one year prior to the date of valuation, we determine the fair value either by relying on estimates provided by independent, third-party appraisers or through an internal valuation process. In addition, if significant capital improvements take place on a property, we will typically have those properties reappraised upon completion of the project by an independent, third-party appraiser. In any case, we intend to have each property valued by an independent, third-party appraiser via a full appraisal at least once every three years, with interim values generally being determined by either: (i) a restricted appraisal (a “desk appraisal”) performed by an independent, third-party appraiser, or (ii) our internal valuation process.

Various methodologies were used, both by the appraisers and in our internal valuations, to determine the fair value of our real estate, ~~on a fee simple, “As Is” basis,~~ including the sales comparison, income capitalization (or a discounted cash flow analysis), and cost approaches of valuation. In performing their analyses, the appraisers typically (i) ~~performed~~conducted site visits to the properties (where full appraisals were performed), (ii) discussed each property with our Adviser and reviewed property-level information, including, but not limited to, property operating data, prior appraisals (as available), existing lease agreements, farm acreage, location, access to water and water rights, potential for future development, and other property-level information, and (iii) reviewed information from a variety of sources about regional market conditions applicable to each of our properties, including, but not limited to, recent sale prices of comparable farmland, market rents for similar farmland, estimated marketing and exposure time, market capitalization rates, and the current economic environment, among others. In performing our internal valuations, we will consider the most recent appraisal available and use similar methodologies in determining an updated fair value. We will also obtain updated market data related to the property, such as updated sales and market rent comparisons and market capitalization rates, and perform an updated assessment of the tenants’ credit risk profiles, among others. Sources of this data may come from market inputs from recent acquisitions of our own portfolio of real estate, recent appraisals of properties we own that are similar in nature and in the same region (as applicable) as the property being valued, market conditions and trends we observe in our due diligence process, and conversations with appraisers, brokers, and farmers.

A breakdown of the methodologies used to value our properties and the aggregate value as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, determined by each method is shown in the table below (dollars in thousands, except in footnotes):

⁽¹⁾	Consists of the initial acquisition price (including the costs allocated to both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed), plus subsequent improvements and other capitalized costs paid for by us that were associated with the properties, and adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization.


⁽²⁾	98.1% of this valuation, or approximately $140.8 million, is supported by values as determined by third-party appraisals performed between October 2014 and June 2016. The difference of approximately $2.8 million represents the net appreciation of those properties since the time of such appraisals, as determined in accordance with our Valuation Policy.


⁽³⁾	Appraisals performed between ~~March 2017~~November 2018 and October ~~2017.~~2019.

Some of the significant assumptions used by appraisers and the Valuation Team in valuing our portfolio as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, include land values per farmable acre, market rental rates per farmable acre and the resulting net operating income (“NOI”) at the property level, and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions were applied on a farm-by-farm basis and were selected based on several factors, including comparable land sales, surveys of both existing and current market rates, discussions with other brokers and farmers, soil quality, size, location, and other factors deemed appropriate. A summary of these significant assumptions is provided in the following table:


	Appraisal Assumptions			Internal Valuation Assumptions
	Range (Low - High)	Weighted Average		Range (Low - High)	Weighted Average		Range (Low - High)	Weighted Average
Land Value (per farmable acre)	$815 – $103,000	$	39,325	$4,123 – $105,000	$	51,376	$680 – $87,500	$	31,411
Market Rent (per farmable acre)	$261 – $4,864	$	1,858	$215 – $4,500	$	1,996

Market Capitalization Rate	3.44% – 5.49%	4.47%		3.12% – 5.87%	4.04%		3.75% – 8.25%	4.29%

Note: Figures in the table above apply only to the farmland portion of our portfolio and exclude assumptions made relating to farm-related property ~~such as~~(e.g., cooling ~~facilities and box barns,~~facilities), and other structures on our properties ~~including~~(e.g., residential ~~housing and horticulture,~~housing), as their aggregate value was considered to be insignificant in relation to that of the farmland.

Our Valuation Team reviews the appraisals, including the significant assumptions and inputs used in determining the appraised values, and considers any developments that may have occurred since the time the appraisals were performed. Developments considered that may have an impact on the fair value of our real estate include, but are not limited to, changes in tenant credit

~~profiles;~~ profiles, changes in lease terms ~~such~~(such as expirations and notices of non-renewals or to ~~vacate;~~vacate), and potential asset sales ~~particularly~~(particularly those at prices different from the appraised values of our ~~properties.~~properties).

Management believes that the purchase prices of the farms acquired during the previous 12 months and the most recent appraisals available for the farms acquired prior to ~~the previous 12 months that were not valued internally and the farms that were valued internally during~~ the previous 12 months fairly represent the current market values of the properties as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, and, accordingly, did not make any adjustment to these values.

A quarterly roll-forward of the change in our portfolio value for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, from the prior value basis as of June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, is provided in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Management also determined fair values of all of its long-term ~~borrowings.~~borrowings and preferred stock. Using a discounted cash flow analysis, management determined that the fair value of all long-term encumbrances on our properties as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, was approximately ~~$286.3~~$454.5 million, as compared to a carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of ~~$292.1~~approximately $450.8 million. In addition, using the closing stock price as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the fair value of the Series A Term Preferred stock was determined to be approximately ~~$29.8~~$29.6 million, as compared to a carrying value (excluding unamortized related issuance costs) of approximately $28.8 million. Finally, pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2310(b)(5), with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert, we determined the estimated value of our Series B Preferred Stock to be $25.00 per share as of September 30, 2019 (see Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-Q).

Calculation of Estimated Net Asset Value

To provide our stockholders with an estimate of the fair value of our real estate assets, we intend to estimate the fair value of our ~~farm~~farms and farm-related properties ~~expressed in terms of~~and provide an estimated net asset value (“NAV”)~~, and provide that to our stockholders~~ on a quarterly basis. NAV is a non-GAAP, supplemental measure of financial position of an equity REIT and is calculated as total equity, adjusted for the increase or decrease in fair value of our real estate assets and long-term borrowings (including any preferred stock required to be treated as debt for GAAP purposes) relative to their respective costs bases. Further, we calculate NAV per common share by dividing NAV by our total common shares outstanding (consisting of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners). ~~A reconciliation of NAV to total equity, which the Company believes is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.~~

The fair values presented above and their usage in the calculation of net asset value per share presented below have been prepared by and is the responsibility of management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has neither examined, compiled, nor performed any procedures with respect to the fair values or the calculation of net asset value per common share, which utilizes information that is not disclosed within the financial statements, and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we estimate ~~our~~the NAV per common share to be ~~$14.15, as detailed~~$11.49. A reconciliation of NAV to total equity, which we believe is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per-share ~~amount)~~data):

Comparison of estimated NAV and estimated NAV per common share, using the definitions above, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the calculation or application of the definition of NAV used by such REITs. In addition, the trading price of our common shares may differ significantly from our most recent estimated NAV per common share calculation. For example, while we estimated ~~the~~our NAV per common share to be $11.49 as of September 30, ~~2017, to be $14.15 per~~2019, based on the calculation above, the closing price of our common stock on September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, was ~~$13.62, and it has subsequently traded between $13.01 and $14.29~~$11.90 per share.

While management believes the values presented reflect current market conditions, the ultimate amount realized on any asset will be based on the timing of such dispositions and the then-current market conditions. There can be no assurance that the ultimate realized value upon disposition of an asset will approximate the estimated fair value above.

~~We intend to report any adjustments to the estimated NAV, as well as to the values of our properties, in this section on a quarterly basis, but in no case less than annually. However, the~~The determination of estimated NAV is subjective and involves a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, and minor adjustments to these assumptions, judgments, or estimates may have a material impact on our overall portfolio valuation. In addition, many of the assumptions used are sensitive to market conditions and can change frequently. Changes in the market environment and other events that may occur during our ownership of these properties may cause the values reported above to vary from the actual fair value that may be obtained in the open market. Further, while management believes the values presented reflect current market conditions, the ultimate amount realized on any asset will be based on the timing of such dispositions and the then-current market conditions. There can be no assurance that the ultimate realized value upon disposition of an asset will approximate the estimated fair value above.



ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. The primary market risk that we believe we are and will be exposedThis Item is not applicable to is interest rate risk. Certain of our existing leases contain escalations based on market indices, and certain of our existing borrowings are subject to variable interest rates. Further, the interest rates on certain of our fixed-rate borrowings are either fixed for a finite period before converting to variable rate or are subject to periodic adjustments. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by structuring certain provisions into many of our leases, such as escalation clauses or adjusting the rent to prevailing market rents at two- to three-year intervals, these features do not eliminate this risk. To date, we have not entered into any derivative contracts to attempt to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

As of September 30, 2017, excluding our Term Preferred Stock, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings outstanding, which accounted for approximately 98.3% of our total indebtedness, at cost, as of September 30, 2017, was approximately $286.3 million. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings. If market interest rates had been one percentage point lower or higher than those rates in place as of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings would have increased or decreased by approximately $13.8 million or $12.8 million, respectively.

ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
