5.5.260 RIVER CORP. MONTPELIER, VERMONT

The Company’s property located in Montpelier Vermont has completed the required environmental remediation as previously disclosed.  Groundwater monitoring is ongoing and will continue on a long term (annually or biannually) until levels of contaminants reach acceptable levels .  The costs of such monitoring are expected to be less than $4,000 per year. The owners agreed with a local developer on a fixed fee of $500,000 to remediate the property, of which a balance of approximately $61,000 is owed and payable upon the property receiving a Certificate of Completion (COC) from the State of Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (“ANR”).  The COC provides certain liability protections for environmental contamination at the property under Vermont’s Brownfields Reuse and Environmental Liability Limitation Act program (“BRELLA”). We are expecting to receive the COC sometime in the second quarter of 2021.

In August 2020, the existing owners of the property amended and restated the previously reported Pre-Development Agreement.  The Amended and Restated Pre-Development Agreement calls for the transfer of 50% of our interest in the property to the local developer which remediated the property and 10% to an unrelated real estate consultant which has assisted us in the process of remediating and developing the property.  The transfer of ownership will occur upon receipt of the COC and will result in the Company owning approximately 28% of the project thereafter.  Also, in August 2020, we entered into a lease agreement with an unrelated party which covers approximately 3.5 acres of land and existing improvements together with an expansion building of approximately 8,000 square feet. The term of the lease will commence on the earlier of: (a) 30 days after the date the project is substantially completed (as defined); or (b) the date that the tenant opens for business (the “Commencement Date”) and shall continue until the 10th anniversary of the Commencement Date.  The lease provides the tenant the option to renew or extend the lease for two consecutive renewal terms of five years each.  Average gross annual rent over the ten-year initial term is approximately $229,000.  Under the terms of the lease the tenant is responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance (except for capital repairs and replacements, as defined). The remainder of the property (approximately 2.5 acres) is subject to development limitations related to wetlands, the location of the Winooski River and institutional controls that have been or will be implemented to address contamination related to historical site operations.

On March 1, 2021 the project was completed, a certificate of occupancy was obtained, and the lease commenced upon tenant taking possession of the property. The total costs of renovation and construction is expected to be approximately $2.5 million (pending final accounting). The Company’s portion of the total costs (28% ownership) is approximately $695,000 of which $395,000 has been paid as of March 31, 2021 and $300,000 is accrued and not yet paid, including $164,000 accrued in this quarter. Loss from operations and estimated depreciation expense for the period ended March 31, 2021 was minimal.

6.INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

Investments in marketable securities consist primarily of large capital corporate equity and debt securities in varying industries or issued by government agencies with readily determinable fair values. These securities are stated at market value, as determined by the most recent traded price of each security at the balance sheet date. Consistent with the Company's overall current investment objectives and activities its entire marketable securities portfolio is classified as trading. Accordingly, all unrealized gains (losses) on this portfolio are recorded in income. Included in investments in marketable securities is approximately $1.59$1.61 million and $1.86$1.66 million in primarily preferred stock of large capital real estate investment trusts (REITs) as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

9.8.INCOME TAXES

 

The Company as a qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back.

 

The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return.

 

Distributed capital gains on sales of real estate as they relate to REIT activities are not subject to taxes; however, undistributed capital gains may be subject to corporate tax.

On December 11, 2020 the Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per share (100% return of capital) which was payable on January 12, 2021 to all shareholders of record as of December 29, 2020.

 

On December 13, 2019 the Company declared a dividend of $0.50 per share (100% return of capital) which was payable on January 13, 2020 to all shareholders of record as of December 30, 2019. The dividend was 72% capital gain and 28% return of capital.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. As of June 30,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax asset of $27,000, and as of December 31, 2019 recordedreported a net deferred tax liability of $77,000.$106,000, and $107,000, respectively. Deferred taxes are primarily a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of the investment in affiliate (TGIF), other investments and investments in marketable securities. CII’s federal net operating loss (NOL) carryover to 2020 is estimated at $949,000 and has been fully reserved due to CII historically having tax losses.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax yearsyear ended December 31, 2019.2020. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 20162017 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the returns were filed.

 

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the condensed consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.
