Farmland Partners, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements as of June 30, 2020

Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Farmland Partners Inc., collectively with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality farmland located in agricultural markets throughout North America. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on September 27, 2013. The Company is the sole member of the general partner of Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed in Delaware on September 27, 2013. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned a portfolio of approximately 156,500 acres which are consolidated in these financial statements. All of the Company’s assets are held by, and its operations are primarily conducted through, the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned a 94.0% interest in the Operating Partnership (see “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests” for additional discussion regarding Class A Common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Common units”), Series A preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series A preferred units”) and Series B participating preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series B participating preferred units”)). Unlike holders of the Company’s common stock, holders of Common units and Series A preferred units generally do not have voting rights or the power to direct our affairs. On August 17, 2017, the Company issued 6,037,500 shares of its newly designated 6.00% Series B Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series B Participating Preferred Stock”) in an underwritten public offering. Shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock, which represent equity interests in the Company, generally have no voting rights and rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation (See “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity—Series B Participating Preferred Stock” for more information on the Series B Participating Preferred Stock).

The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2014.

On March 16, 2015, the Company formed FPI Agribusiness Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (the “TRS” or “FPI Agribusiness”), as a taxable REIT subsidiary. The TRS was formed to provide volume purchasing services to the Company’s tenants and also to operate a small-scale custom farming business. As of June 30, 2020, the TRS performed these custom farming operations on 3,676 acres of farmland owned by the Company located in California, Michigan, South Carolina, and Florida.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassification had no effect on net income or loss.

Interim Financial Information

The information in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which the Company considers necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)

Table of Contents

on March 13, 2020. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year ending December 31, 2020.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its effects on the domestic and global economies. So far, the direct impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations has been limited. As broader sectors of the U.S. agricultural economy are affected through supply chain and commodity price disruptions, we believe that we may experience some yet largely unidentified impact in the medium term. In the long term, we do not expect that the pandemic will affect materially the global demand for food, feed, fuel and fiber, and therefore the value of its farmland portfolio. We are unable to quantify what the ultimate impact of the virus on our business will be.

Real Estate Acquisitions

When the Company acquires farmland where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets it is not considered a business. As such, the Company accounts for these types of acquisitions as asset acquisitions. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets and contains acquired inputs and processes which have the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs, these acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

The Company considers single identifiable assets as tangible assets that are attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible asset without incurring significant cost or significant diminution in utility or fair value. The Company considers similar assets as assets that have a similar nature and risk characteristics.

Whether the Company’s acquisitions are treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360 or a business combination under ASC 805, the fair value of the purchase price is allocated among the assets acquired and any liabilities assumed by valuing the property as if it was vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, permanent plantings and any liabilities, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition.

Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company allocates the purchase price of the real estate based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which historically have consisted of land, drainage improvements, irrigation improvements, groundwater, permanent plantings (bushes, shrubs, vines and perennial crops) and grain facilities, and may also consist of intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases and tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets by valuing the land as if it were unimproved. The Company values improvements, including permanent plantings and grain facilities, at replacement cost, adjusted for depreciation.

Management’s estimates of land value are made using a comparable sales analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis of land value include soil types and water availability and the sales prices of comparable farms. Management’s estimates of groundwater value are made using historical information obtained regarding the applicable aquifer. Factors considered by management in its analysis of groundwater value are related to the location of the aquifer and whether or not the aquifer is a depletable resource or a replenishing resource. If the aquifer is a replenishing resource, no value is allocated to the groundwater. The Company includes an estimate of property taxes in the purchase price allocation of acquisitions to account for the expected liability that was assumed.

Table of Contents

When above or below market leases are acquired, the Company values the intangible assets based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases that are considered bargain renewal options. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair value of acquired below market leases, included in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is amortized as an increase to rental income on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options of the respective leases.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $1.3 million and $1.3 million in tenant relationship intangibles, respectively, gross of accumulated amortization of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships, if they are acquired, based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease, availability of replacement tenants, probability of lease renewal, estimated down time and its overall relationship with the tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are included as an intangible asset and have been amortized over the remaining lease term (including expected renewal periods of the respective leases for tenant relationships) as amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to its stated expiration, any unamortized amounts relating to that lease, including (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place lease values, and (iii) tenant relationships, would be recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate.

The Company capitalizes acquisition costs and due diligence costs if the asset is expected to qualify as an asset acquisition. If the asset acquisition is abandoned, the capitalized asset acquisition costs are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs in the period of abandonment. Costs associated with a business combination are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs as incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the company incurred an immaterial amount of costs related to acquisition and due diligence during the periods.

Total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities. When equity securities are issued, the Company determines the fair value of the equity securities issued based on the number of shares of common stock and Common units issued multiplied by the price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of closing in the case of common stock and Common units and by liquidation preference in the case of preferred stock and preferred units.

Using information available at the time of business combination, the Company allocates the total consideration to tangible assets and liabilities and identified intangible assets and liabilities. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocations after obtaining more information about assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

Real Estate Sales

The Company recognizes gains from the sales of real estate assets, generally at the time the title is transferred, consideration is received and the Company no longer has substantial continuing involvement with the real estate sold.

Table of Contents

Liquidity Policy

The Company manages its liquidity position and expected liquidity needs taking into consideration current cash balances and reasonably expected cash receipts. The business model of the Company, and of real estate investment companies in general, relies on debt as a structural source of financing. When debt becomes due, it is generally refinanced rather than repaid using the Company’s cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2020 the Company had liquidity requirements which were not anticipated to be funded from ongoing operating cash flows in the foreseeable future which were largely impacted by debt repayments that are coming due during the remainder of 2020. When material debt repayments are due within the following 12 months, the Company works with current and new lenders and other potential sources of capital to ensure that all its obligations are timely satisfied. The Company has a history of being able to refinance its debt obligations to manage its debt maturities. Furthermore, the Company also has a deep portfolio of real estate assets which management believes could be readily liquidated if necessary to fund its immediate liquidity needs. Management’s first course of action is to work with its lenders to refinance debt which is coming due on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in refinancing its debt on terms acceptable to the Company, management would look to liquidate certain assets to fund its liquidity shortfall. Management believes its plans are sufficient to overcome the liquidity pressures which existed at June 30, 2020.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts, reducing the receivables balance to an amount that it estimates is collectible from our customers. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, current trends, aging of accounts receivable and periodic credit evaluations of the Company’s customers’ financial condition. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, such that all current expected losses are sufficiently reserved for at each reporting period. The Company considered its current expectations of future economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, when estimating its allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an allowance of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Inventory

The costs of growing crops are accumulated until the time of harvest at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are included in inventory in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs are allocated to growing crops based on a percentage of the total costs of production and total operating costs that are attributable to the portion of the crops that remain in inventory at the end of the period. The costs of growing crops incurred by FPI Agribusiness consist primarily of costs related to land preparation, cultivation, irrigation and fertilization. Growing crop inventory is charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold and is included in other operating expenses. The cost of harvested crop was $0.0 million and $0.1 million, and $0.0 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Harvested crop inventory includes costs accumulated both during the growing and harvesting phases and are stated at the lower of those costs or the estimated net realizable value, which is the market price, based upon the nearest market in the geographic region, less any cost of disposition. Cost of disposition includes broker’s commissions, freight and other marketing costs.

General inventory, such as fertilizer, seeds and pesticides, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, inventory consisted of the following:

Hedge Accounting

ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the period.

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage certain interest rate risks. More specifically, interest rate swaps are entered into to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating-rate borrowings when such risk management is deemed appropriate by the Company’s management and a fixed interest rate is not available or not economical, or when it is contractually required by a lender. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company designates interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of said floating-rate borrowings. The entire change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company terminated its old interest rate swap and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk exposure. An interest rate swap agreement utilized by the Company effectively modifies the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis for the next six years on 50% of the currently outstanding amount to Rabobank, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. This agreement involves the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

As of June 30, 2020, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swap was $33.2 million. For a summary of the fair value and related disclosures in relation to hedge accounting, please refer to “Note 10 – Hedge Accounting.”

New or Revised Accounting Standards

Recent Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), that provided practical expedients to address existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting due to the expected market transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates (together “IBORs”) to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. We refer to this transition as “reference rate reform.”

The first practical expedient allows companies to elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to debt, derivative and lease contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These criteria include the following: (i) the contract referenced an IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; (ii) the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace the IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; and (iii) any contemporaneous changes to other terms that change or have the potential to change the amount and timing of contractual cash flows must be related to the replacement of the IBOR rate. If the contract meets all three criteria, there is no requirement for remeasurement of the contract at the modification date or reassessment of the previous accounting determination.

The second practical expedient allows companies to change the reference rate and other critical terms related to the reference rate reform in derivative hedge documentation without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. This allows for companies to continue applying hedge accounting to existing cash flow and net investment hedges.

The ASU was effective upon issuance on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020 and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge

accounting practical expedient to its cash flow hedge. The Company will continue to evaluate its debt, derivative and lease contracts that are eligible for modification relief and may apply those elections as needed.

Recently adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the method and timing of the recognition of credit losses on financial assets. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This credit loss standard is required to be applied using a modified-retrospective approach and requires a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings be recorded as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 2—Revenue Recognition

For the majority of its leases, the Company receives at least 50% of the annual lease payment from tenants either during the first quarter of the year or at the time of acquisition of the related farm, with the remaining 50% of the lease payment due in the second half of the year. Rental income is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term generally includes periods when a tenant: (1) may not terminate its lease obligation early; (2) may terminate its lease obligation early in exchange for a fee or penalty that the Company considers material enough such that termination would not be probable; (3) possesses renewal rights and the tenant’s failure to exercise such rights imposes a penalty on the tenant material enough such that renewal appears reasonably assured; or (4) possesses bargain renewal options for such periods. Payments received in advance are included in deferred revenue until they are earned.

Certain of the Company’s leases provide for a rent payment determined as a percentage of the gross farm proceeds (contingent rent). Revenue under leases providing for a payment equal to a percentage of the gross farm proceeds are recorded at the guaranteed crop insurance minimums and recognized ratably over the lease term during the crop year. Upon notification from the grain or packing facility that a future contract for delivery of the harvest has been finalized or when the tenant has notified the Company of the total amount of gross farm proceeds, revenue is recognized for the excess of the actual gross farm proceeds and the previously recognized minimum guaranteed insurance.

Certain of the Company’s leases provide for minimum cash rent plus a bonus based on gross farm proceeds. Revenue under this type of lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term based on the minimum cash rent. Bonus rent is recognized upon notification from the tenant of the gross farm proceeds for the year.

Most of the Company’s farming leases range from two to three years for row crops and one to seven years for permanent crops. Leases in place as of June 30, 2020 have terms ranging from one to 40 years. Payments received in advance are included in deferred revenue until they are earned. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $2.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in deferred revenue.

The following sets forth a summary of rental income recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	Rental income recognized

Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the lessee, the preceding table presents future minimum lease payments due during the initial lease term only.

The Company records revenue from the sale of harvested crops when the harvested crop has been contracted to be delivered to a grain or packing facility and title has transferred. Revenues from the sale of harvested crops totaling $0.4 million and $0.7 million, and $0.9 million and $0.5 million were recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Harvested crops delivered under marketing contracts are recorded using the fixed price of the marketing contract at the time of delivery to a grain or packing facility. Harvested crops delivered without a marketing contract are recorded using the market price at the date the harvested crop is delivered to the grain or packing facility and title has transferred.

Note 3—Concentration Risk

Credit Risk

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had no significant tenants representing a tenant concentration of 10% or greater of period revenue. Historically, and in the future, if a significant tenant fails to make rental payments to the Company or elects to terminate its leases, and the land cannot be re-leased on satisfactory terms, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance and the Company’s ability to continue operations. Rental income received is recorded on a straight-line basis over the applicable lease term.

Geographic Risk

The following table summarizes the percentage of approximate total acres owned as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the percentage of rental income recorded by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 by region:

Note 4—Related Party Transactions

On July 21, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement with American Agriculture Aviation LLC (“American Ag Aviation”) for the use of a private plane. American Ag Aviation is a Colorado limited liability company that is owned 100% by Mr. Pittman. The Company paid costs of $0.02 million and $0.05 million, and $0.02 and $0.03 million, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, to American Ag Aviation for use of the aircraft in accordance with the lease agreement. These costs were recognized based on the nature of the associated use of the aircraft, as follows: (i) general and administrative - expensed as general and administrative expenses within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations; (ii) land acquisition (accounted for as an asset acquisition) - allocated to the acquired real estate assets within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets; and (iii) land acquisition (accounted for as a business combination) - expensed as acquisition and due diligence costs within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Note 5—Real Estate

The Company completed two acquisitions, consisting of four properties, in the Corn Belt region during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Aggregate consideration for these acquisitions totaled $1.4 million and was comprised of $0.9 million in cash, and $0.5 million reduction in notes receivable and related interest to the seller through the acquisition of collateralized property. No intangible assets were acquired through these acquisitions.

The Company did not complete any acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed three dispositions consisting of four properties, in the Corn Belt and High Plains regions for aggregate consideration of $7.5 million and an aggregate gain on sale of $0.8 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company completed three dispositions, consisting of six properties, in the Corn Belt and Southeast regions for aggregate proceeds of $34.2 million and recognized an aggregate gain on sale of $7.6 million.

Note 6—Notes Receivable

In August 2015, the Company introduced an agricultural lending product aimed at farmers as a complement to the Company’s business of acquiring and owning farmland and leasing it to farmers (the “FPI Loan Program”). Under the FPI Loan Program, the Company makes loans to third-party farmers (both tenant and non-tenant) to provide financing for working capital requirements and operational farming activities, farming infrastructure projects and for other farming and agricultural real estate related projects. The Company seeks to make loans that are collateralized by farm real estate or growing crops and in principal amounts of $0.1 million or more at fixed interest rates with maturities of up to six years. The Company expects the borrower to repay the loans in accordance with the loan agreements based on farming operations and access to other forms of capital, as permitted.

In addition to loans made under the FPI Loan Program, the Company, on certain occasions, makes short-term loans to tenants secured by collateral other than real estate, such as growing crops, equipment or inventory, when the Company believes such loans will ensure the orderly completion of farming operations on a property owned by the Company for a given crop year and other credit is not available to the borrower.

Notes receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balance and include unamortized direct origination costs and accrued interest through the reporting date, less any allowance for losses and unearned borrower paid points. The Company monitors its receivables based upon historical collection experience, collateral values and current trends. Accrued interest write-offs are recognized as credit loss expense. The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses on its notes receivable principal balance is $0.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company recorded $0.05 million and $0.10 million of credit loss expense related to interest receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recovered $0.2 million of interest that was previously written off as credit loss expense.

In January 2016 the maturity date of the note was extended from January 15, 2016 to January 15, 2017 with the year 1 interest received at the time of the extension and principal and remaining interest due at maturity. On July 28, 2017 the Company notified the borrower of default on the Promissory Note. In December 2019, the Company began the process of selling the underlying collateralized property to settle the principal and accrued interest. The note was settled during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

(2)

The original note was renegotiated and a second note was entered into simultaneously with the borrower during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The notes include mortgages on two additional properties in Colorado that include repurchase options for the properties at a fixed price that are exercisable between the third and fifth anniversary of the notes by the borrower.

(3)	This note was repaid in full during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The collateral for the mortgage notes receivable consists of real estate, personal property and improvements present on such real estate.

Fair Value

FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is 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 to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

●

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

●

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement.

The fair value of notes receivable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by GAAP and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on mortgage notes receivable with comparable terms whenever the interest rates on the notes receivable are deemed not to be at market rates. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of the notes receivable was $2.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

Farmer Mac Facility

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership had approximately $73.3 million and approximately $73.3 million outstanding, respectively, under the Farmer Mac facility. The Farmer Mac facility is subject to the Company’s ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants, including: a maximum leverage ratio of not more than 60%; a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00; and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2020.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company secured an extension of the maturity of the Farmer Mac bonds due in June and July 2020, to October 31, 2020, in order to accommodate a delay in the refinancing lender's field due diligence caused by COVID-19-related travel restrictions.

LIBOR

LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $181.0 million of variable- rate debt outstanding with interest rates tied to LIBOR and maturity dates beyond 2021. There can be no assurances as to what the alternative base rate will be in the event that LIBOR is discontinued, and the Company can provide no assurances whether that base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. The Company intends to monitor the developments with respect to the phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with its lenders to ensure that any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on its financial condition, but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of LIBOR discontinuation.

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs incurred by the Company in obtaining debt are deducted from the face amount of mortgage notes and bonds payable. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the respective terms of the related indebtedness. Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of mortgage notes payable are written off in the period in which repayment occurs. Fully amortized deferred financing fees are removed from the balance sheet upon maturity or repayment of the underlying debt. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.2 million and $1.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies

In April 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space which the Company extended in March 2020 through July 31, 2021. The lease commenced June 1, 2015 and had an initial monthly payment of $10,032, which increased to $10,200 in June 2016, $10,366 in June 2017, $10,534 in June 2018, $10,701 in June 2019 and $12,373 in August 2020.

The Company estimated the value of the lease liabilities using a discount rate equivalent to the rate we would pay on a secured borrowing with similar terms to the lease. Options to extend the lease in our minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised are excluded. Our total lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.03 million and $0.06 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the lease has a remaining term of 14 months and a discount rate of 3.35%.

Litigation

The Company may become party to legal proceedings that are considered to be either ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business or not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or liquidity.

amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 17, 2018, a second purported class action, captioned Mariconda v. Farmland Partners Inc. (the “Mariconda Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging substantially identical claims as the Kachmar Action. Several purported shareholders moved to consolidate the Kachmar Action and the Mariconda Action and for appointment as Lead Plaintiff. On November 13, 2018, the plaintiff in the Kachmar action voluntarily dismissed the Kachmar Action. On December 3, 2018, the court appointed two purported stockholders of the Company, the Turner Insurance Agency, Inc. and Cecilia Turner (the “Turners”), as lead plaintiffs in the Mariconda Action. On March 11, 2019, the court-appointed lead plaintiffs and additional plaintiff Obelisk Capital Management filed an amended complaint in the Turner Action. On April 15, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in the Turner Action. On June 18, 2019, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Turner Action. The defendants answered the amended complaint on July 2, 2019. On December 6, 2019, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Obelisk Capital Management from the case. In connection with Obelisk Capital Management’s dismissal from the case, defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on December 10, 2019, which automatically stayed discovery in the action pending the court’s determination of the motion. On December 16, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. On December 27, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. Defendants filed a response opposing the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on January 17, 2020, and filed a motion to adjourn the class certification briefing schedule in light of the discovery stay on January 29, 2020. These motions remain pending and discovery remains stayed pending decision on defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. At this time, no class has been certified in the Turner Action and we do not know the amount of damages or other remedies being sought by the plaintiffs. The Company can provide no assurances as to the outcome of this litigation or provide an estimate of related expenses at this time.

On December 18, 2018, a purported stockholder of the Company, Jack Winter, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (the “Winter Action”), purporting to assert breach of fiduciary duty claims derivatively on the Company’s behalf against the Company’s directors and certain of the Company’s officers. The Winter Action alleges, among other things, that the Company’s directors and certain of the Company’s officers breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by allowing the Company to make allegedly false and misleading disclosures related to the FPI Loan Program, as alleged in the Turner Action. On April 26, 2019, Winter voluntarily dismissed his complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County Maryland. On May 14, 2019, Winter re-filed his complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The Winter Action has been stayed pending further proceedings in the Turner Action.

On November 25, 2019, another purported shareholder, Shawn Luger, filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of the Company and against certain of our officers in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (the “Luger Action”). The Luger Action complaint makes similar claims to those in the Turner and Winter Actions. The parties to the Luger Action stipulated to a stay of the case pending further proceedings in the Turner Action and filed a joint motion to stay on February 7, 2020. On June 26, 2020, the parties reached an agreement to lift the stay. The Company intends to move to dismiss the Luger Action. The Company’s motion to dismiss is due on September 15, 2020.

On November 26, 2019, another purported shareholder, Anna Barber, filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of the Company and against certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Barber Action”). The Barber Action complaint makes similar claims to those in the Turner, Winter, and Luger Actions. The Barber Action has been stayed pending further proceedings in the Turner Action.

On February 14, 2020, another purported shareholder, Brent Hustedde, filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of the Company and against certain of our officers in Maryland state court (the “Hustedde Action”). The Hustedde Action complaint makes similar claims to those in the Turner, Winter, Luger, and Barber Actions. None of the defendants have yet been served in the Hustedde Action.

The Company believes that costs associated with the Turner, Winter, Luger, Barber, and Hustedde Actions in excess of $0.35 million will be covered by insurance; however, the Company can provide no assurances that costs will not ultimately be in excess of that amount.

On July 24, 2018, we filed a lawsuit in the District Court, Denver County, Colorado, against “Rota Fortunae” (a pseudonym for Quinton Mathews, the individual behind Rota Fortunae) and numerous co-conspirators (collectively, “Wheel of Fortune”) in response to an article posted by Quinton Mathews on Seeking Alpha that makes numerous allegations about the Company that we believe to be false or materially misleading. We believe that as a consequence of Wheel of Fortune’s internet posting and related postings on social media, the trading price of our common stock declined by approximately 40%. We believe that Wheel of Fortune’s, including Quinton Mathews’s, internet posting was made in connection with a “short and distort” scheme to profit from a decline in our stock price based on false and misleading information. The lawsuit that we filed alleges that Wheel of Fortune, including Quinton Mathews, disseminated material false, misleading and defamatory information about us that has harmed us and our stockholders. The Company does not expect insurance proceeds to cover a substantial portion of the costs related to the lawsuit we filed against Wheel of Fortune, including Quinton Mathews. On May 15, 2020, United States District Court for the District of Colorado to which this case was removed issued orders (i) denying Rota Fortunae’s motion to dismiss our claims; and (ii) requiring him to disclose his identity. On July 28, 2020, the Court granted our motion to amend the complaint to add Rota Fortunae’s name as well as the following co-conspirators: QKM, L.L.C., Sabrepoint Capital Management, LP, Donald Marchiony and George Baxter. The case is currently in the discovery phase.

Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests in Operating Partnership

The Company consolidates its Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company owned 94.0% and 94.0% of the outstanding interests, respectively, in the Operating Partnership, and the remaining 6.0% and 6.0% interests, respectively, are included in non-controlling interests in Operating Partnership on the consolidated balance sheets. The non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership are held in the form of Common units and Series A preferred units.

On or after 12 months of becoming a holder of Common units, unless the terms of an agreement with such Common unitholder dictate otherwise, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), to tender for redemption all or a portion of such Common units in exchange for cash, or in the Company’s sole discretion, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. If cash is paid in satisfaction of a redemption request, the amount will be equal to the number of tendered units multiplied by the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the redemption notice (determined in accordance with, and subject to adjustment under, the terms of the Partnership Agreement). Any redemption request must be satisfied by the Company on or before the close of business on the tenth business day after the Company receives a notice of redemption. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued zero and 2,678,187, respectively, of shares of common stock upon redemption of zero and 2,678,187, respectively, Common units that had been tendered for redemption. There were 1.9 million and 1.9 million outstanding Common units eligible to be tendered for redemption as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

If the Company gives the limited partners notice of its intention to make an extraordinary distribution of cash or property to its stockholders or effect a merger, a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any other similar extraordinary transaction, each limited partner may exercise its right to tender its Common units for redemption, regardless of the length of time such limited partner has held its Common units.

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 Common units for shares of common stock. When a Common unit is redeemed, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.

The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions on each Common unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the Common units held by the Company being utilized to pay dividends to the Company’s common stockholders.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the consolidation accounting standard with respect to the accounting and reporting for non-controlling interest changes and changes in ownership interest of a subsidiary, changes in parent’s ownership interest when the parent retains controlling interest in the subsidiary should be accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest shall be adjusted to reflect the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary, with the offset to equity attributable to the parent. As a result of equity issuances including and subsequent to the IPO, changes in the ownership percentages between the Company’s stockholders’ equity and non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company decreased the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and increased additional paid in capital by $0.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company increased the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership and decreased additional paid in capital by $0.4 million.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests in Operating Partnership, Series A preferred units

On March 2, 2016, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Partnership Agreement in order to provide for the issuance, and the designation of the terms and conditions, of the Series A preferred units. Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, each Series A preferred unit has a $1,000 liquidation preference and is entitled to receive cumulative preferential cash distributions at a rate of 3.00% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference, which is payable annually in arrears on January 15 of each year or the next succeeding business day. The cash distributions are accrued ratably over the year and credited to redeemable non-controlling interest in operating partnership, preferred units on the balance sheet with the offset recorded to retained earnings. Dividends on Series A preferred units have been recorded through retained earnings in 2017 as opposed to additional paid in capital in 2016 due to the Company generating retained earnings during 2017. On March 2, 2016, 117,000 Series A preferred units were issued as partial consideration in the March 2, 2016 Illinois farm acquisition. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution, the Series A preferred units are entitled to a priority distribution ahead of Common units in an amount equal to the liquidation preference plus an amount equal to all distributions accumulated and unpaid to the date of such cash distribution. Total liquidation value of such preferred units as of June 30 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $118.8 million and $120.5 million, respectively, including accrued distributions.

On or after March 2, 2026, the tenth anniversary of the closing of the Forsythe acquisition (the “Conversion Right Date”), holders of the Series A preferred units have the right to convert each Series A preferred unit into a number of Common units equal to (i) the $1,000 liquidation preference plus all accrued and unpaid distributions, divided by (ii) the volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. All Common units received upon conversion may be immediately tendered for redemption for cash or, in the Company’s sole discretion, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Partnership Agreement. Prior to the Conversion Right Date, the Series A preferred units may not be tendered for redemption by the Holder.

On or after March 2, 2021, the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Forsythe acquisition, but prior to the Conversion Right Date, the Operating Partnership has the right to redeem some or all of the Series A preferred units, at any time and from time to time, for cash in an amount per unit equal to the $1,000 liquidation preference plus all accrued and unpaid distributions.

In the event of a Termination Transaction (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) prior to conversion, holders of the Series A preferred units generally have the right to receive the same consideration as holders of Common units and common stock, on an as-converted basis.

Holders of the Series A preferred units have no voting rights except with respect to (i) the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership senior to the Series A preferred units as to the right to receive distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Operating Partnership, (ii) the issuance of additional Series A preferred units and (iii) amendments to the Partnership Agreement that materially and adversely affect the rights or benefits of the holders of the Series A preferred units.

Table of Contents

The Series A preferred units are accounted for as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet as the units are convertible and redeemable for shares at a determinable price and date at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Company.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s redeemable non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June, 2020 and 2019:

Series B Participating Preferred Stock

On August 17, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Jefferies LLC, as representatives of the underwriters, pursuant to which the Company sold 6,037,500 shares of its newly designated Series B Participating Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, which is the Initial Liquidation Preference (as defined below) of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock.

Shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock, which represent equity interests in the Company, generally have no voting rights and rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation. Each preferred share of Series B Participating Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative preferential cash dividends at a rate of 6.00% per annum of the $25 liquidation preference, which is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December (the “Initial Liquidation Preference”). Upon liquidation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company is made to or set apart for the holders of equity securities ranking junior to the Series B Participating Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the sum of:

(i)

the Initial Liquidation Preference,

(ii)

an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in the estimated value of farmland in the states in which the Company owned farmland as of June 30, 2017 (measured by reference to a publicly available report released annually by the National Agricultural Statistics Board, the Agricultural Statistics Board and the U.S. Department of Agriculture) (the “FVA Adjustment”), and

(iii)

all accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to a 9.0% cap on total return (the “Final Liquidation Preference”).

After September 30, 2021, but prior to September 30, 2024, the Company, at its option, may redeem all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock at any time, for cash or for shares of common stock at a price equal to the Final Liquidation Preference plus an amount equal to the product of:

(i)

the Final Liquidation Preference, and

(ii)

the average change in land values in states in which the Company owned farmland as of June 30, 2017 over the immediately preceding four years and multiplied by a constant percentage of 50% and prorated for the number of days between the most recent release of the publicly available land value report used to calculate the FVA Adjustment (if such amount is positive) (the “Premium Amount”).

Table of Contents

At any time on or after September 30, 2024, the Company, at its option, may redeem or convert to shares of common stock all, but not less than all, of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock at the redemption price per share equal to:

(i)

the Initial Liquidation Preference, plus

(ii)

the FVA Amount, plus

(iii)

any accrued and unpaid dividends.

The total rate of return on shares of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock is subject to a cap such that the total rate of return, when considering the Initial Liquidation Preference, the FVA Adjustment and the Premium Amount plus accrued and unpaid dividends, will not exceed 9.0%. Based on the data released by the USDA in August 2020 in their Land Values 2020 Summary, the FVA Amount as of 2020 was determined to be $0.80 per share of Series B Participating Preferred Stock.

In connection with the issuance of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Partnership Agreement in order to provide for the issuance, and the designation of the terms and conditions, of newly classified 6.00% Series B participating preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series B participating preferred units”), the economic terms of which are identical to those of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds from the offering of the Series B Participating Preferred Stock to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 6,037,500 Series B participating preferred units.

The shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock are accounted for as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet as the Series B Participating Preferred Stock is convertible and redeemable for common shares at a determinable price and date at the option of the Company and upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Company.

The balance recorded in mezzanine equity relating to the Series B Participating Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $139.8 million and $142.9 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

In general, common stock cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to stockholders for income tax purposes. From time to time, a portion of the Company’s dividends may be characterized as qualified dividends, capital gains or return of capital.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 15, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved a program to repurchase up to $25 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. In November 2017, the board of directors approved repurchases of the Company’s Series B Participating Preferred Stock from time to time under the share repurchase program. Subsequently on August 1, 2018, the board of directors increased the authority under the share repurchase program by an aggregate of $30 million. On November 7, 2019, the board of directors increased the authority under the program by an additional $50 million. Repurchases under this program may be made from time to time, in amounts and prices as the Company deems appropriate. Repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy and other relevant factors. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or Series B Preferred Stock and it may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The Company funds repurchases under the program using cash on its balance sheet. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 494,661 shares of its common stock for $3.2 million at an average price of $6.46 per share and 140,189 shares of its Series B preferred stock for $3.1 million at an average price of $22.08 per share. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $44.7 million in shares that it can repurchase under the stock repurchase plan.

Equity Incentive Plan

On May 3, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”), which increased the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to approximately 1.3 million shares. As of June 30, 2020, there were 0.2 million of shares available for future grants under the Plan.

The Company may issue equity-based awards to officers, non-employee directors, employees, independent contractors and other eligible persons under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, share awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock units), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards, annual incentive cash awards and other equity based awards, including LTIP units, which are convertible on a one-for-one basis into Common units. The terms of each grant are determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors.

From time to time, the Company may award restricted shares of its common stock under the Plan, as compensation to officers, employees, non-employee directors and non-employee consultants. The shares of restricted stock vest over a period of time as determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for awards issued to officers, employees and non-employee directors for restricted shares of common stock on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures. The Company recognizes compensation expense for awards issued to non-employee consultants in the same period and in the same manner as if the Company paid cash for the underlying services.

A summary of the nonvested shares as of June 30, 2020 is as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million and $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock awards, which are expected to be recognized over weighted-average periods of 2.0 years. The change in fair value of the shares issued to non-employees to be issued upon vesting is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and is recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The remaining restricted stock awards issued to non-employees vested during the year ended December 31, 2019, resulting in no change in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Unvested shares of the Company’s restricted common stock are considered participating securities, which requires the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The limited partners’ outstanding Common units (which may be redeemed for shares of common stock) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income. Any anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Accordingly, distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares (participating securities) have been excluded, as applicable, from net income or loss attributable to common stockholders utilized in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Net income or loss figures are presented net of non-controlling interests in the earnings per share calculations. The weighted average number of Common units held by the non-controlling interest was 1.9 million and 2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The outstanding Series A preferred units are non-participating securities and thus are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on an as-if converted basis. Any anti-dilutive shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, these shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.

The outstanding shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock are non-participating securities and thus are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on an as-if converted basis. Any anti-dilutive shares are excluded from

the diluted earnings per share calculation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, these shares were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, diluted weighted average common shares do not include the impact of 0.3 million and 0.4 million, respectively, unvested compensation-related shares as they would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 10—Hedge Accounting

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the entire change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

On March 26, 2020, the Company terminated its existing swap agreement and entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to obtain a more favorable interest rate and to manage intrest rate risk exposure, which is effective April 1, 2020. An interest rate swap agreement utilized by the Company effectively modifies the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis for the next six years on 50% of the currently outstanding amount to Rabobank, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. This agreement involves the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The fair value of the de-designated swap was $2.6 million on the termination date. The Company is amortizing the de-designated swap over the original term utilizing a forward curve analysis of determining monthly amortization. Amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.2 million. The Company’s $2.6 million termination fee was rolled into the new swap and will be paid over the next six years. The fair value is being amortized out of Other Comprehensive Income through the original termination date (March 1, 2023).

The Company determines the hedge effectiveness of its interest rate swaps at inception by applying a quantitative evaluation of effectiveness using regression analysis. On an ongoing basis the Company applies an initial qualitative assessement of on-going effectiveness and reviews hedge effectiveness through assessing the hedge relationship by comparing the current terms of the swap and the associated debt to ensure they continue to coincide through the continued ability of the Counterparty to the swap to honor its obligations under the swap contract. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the hedge relationship is ineffective, the Company performs a quantitative evaluation using regression analysis. The Company concluded the hedge was highly effective at inception.

As of June 30, 2020, the total notional amount of the Company’s receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate swaps was $33.2 million.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument is set out below:

The amount of gain/loss recognized in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, and $0 and $0.1 million, respectively.

The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts, which is considered a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2020, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. References to “we,” “our,” “us” and “our company” refer to Farmland Partners Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole member of the sole general partner.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning pending acquisitions and dispositions, projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results, future stock repurchases, our dividend policy, future economic performance, crop yields and prices and future rental rates for our properties, ongoing litigation, as well as statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. When we use the words “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” or similar expressions or their negatives, as well as statements in future tense, we intend to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Some factors that might cause such a difference include the following: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce its spread on our business and on the economy and capital markets generally, general volatility of the capital markets and the market price of our common stock, changes in our business strategy, availability, terms and deployment of capital, our ability to refinance existing indebtedness at or prior to maturity on favorable terms, or at all, availability of qualified personnel, changes in our industry, interest rates or the general economy, the degree and nature of our competition, the outcomes of ongoing litigation, our ability to identify new acquisitions or dispositions and close on pending acquisitions or dispositions and the other factors described in the risk factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and in other documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by law.

Overview and Background

We are an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality farmland located in agricultural markets throughout North America. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we own farms with an aggregate of approximately 156,500 acres in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota and Virginia. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, approximately 70% of our portfolio (by value) is used to grow primary crops, such as corn, soybeans, wheat, rice and cotton, and approximately 30% is used to produce specialty crops, such as blueberries, vegetables, citrus, nuts and edible beans. We believe our portfolio gives investors exposure to the increasing global food demand trend in the face of growing scarcity of high quality farmland and will reflect the approximate breakdown of U.S. agricultural output between primary crops and animal protein (whose production relies principally on primary crops as feed), on one hand, and specialty crops, on the other.

Table of Contents

In addition, under the FPI Loan Program, we make loans to third-party farmers (both tenant and non-tenant) to provide financing for working capital requirements and operational farming activities, farming infrastructure projects and for other farming and agricultural real estate related purposes.

We were incorporated in Maryland on September 27, 2013, and we are the sole member of the general partner of the Operating Partnership, which is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on September 27, 2013. All of our assets are held by, and our operations are primarily conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2020, we owned 94.0% of the Common units and none of the Series A preferred units nor the Series B Participating Preferred Stock. See “Note 9 – Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests” within the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the non-controlling interests.

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2014.

The following table sets forth our ownership of acreage by region as of June 30, 2020:


Region ⁽¹⁾		Total Acres
Corn Belt		43,988
Delta and South		27,871
High Plains		29,566
Southeast		43,499
West Coast		11,586
		156,510

(1)

Corn Belt includes farms located in Illinois, Michigan and eastern Nebraska. Delta and South includes farms located in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. High Plains includes farms located in Colorado, Kansas, western Nebraska, and South Dakota. Southeast includes farms located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. West Coast includes farms located in California.

When we are able to access sufficient additional capital, we intend to continue to acquire additional farmland to achieve scale and further diversify our portfolio by geography, crop type and tenants. We also may continue to selectively dispose of assets when we believe a disposition is in the Company’s best interest. We also may acquire, and make loans secured by mortgages on, properties related to farming, such as grain storage facilities, grain elevators, feedlots, processing plants and distribution centers, as well as livestock farms or ranches. In addition, we engage directly in farming through FPI Agribusiness Inc., our taxable REIT subsidiary (the “TRS” or “FPI Agribusiness”). The TRS provides volume purchasing services to our tenants, operates a small-scale custom farming business, and occasionally provides our tenants with small operating loans. As of June 30, 2020, the TRS performs these custom farming operations on 3,676 acres of farmland located in Florida, Michigan, South Carolina, and California.

Our principal source of revenue is rent from tenants that conduct farming operations on our farmland. The majority of the leases that are in place as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have fixed annual rental payments. Some of our leases have variable rents based on the revenue generated by our farm-operator tenants. We believe that this mix of fixed and variable rents will help insulate us from the variability of farming operations and reduce our credit-risk exposure to farm-operator tenants while making us an attractive landlord in certain regions where variable leases are customary. However, we may be exposed to tenant credit risk and farming operation risks, particularly with respect to leases that do not require advance payment of 100% of the annual rent, leases for which the rent is based on a percentage of a tenant’s farming revenues and leases with terms greater than one year.

In addition, an increasing number of our leases provide for crop share lease payments, through which we only recognize revenue to the amount of the crop insurance minimum. The excess cannot be recognized as revenue until the tenant enters into a contract to sell their crop. Generally, we expect tenants to enter into contracts to sell their crop following the harvest of the crop.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

As the effects of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic continue to develop, we are unable to quantify what the ultimate impact of the virus on our business will be. So far, the pandemic has significantly affected only sectors of the U.S. agricultural industry to which we have limited or no direct exposure, such as fresh food production marketed to the hospitality industry, and meat packing. We expect slower-moving ripples to potentially affect the sectors of the agricultural industry in which we are invested. Lower gasoline demand has affected demand for ethanol and therefore corn.

Labor availability and export logistics disruptions may affect specialty crops prices and our tenants’ ability to effectively harvest and deliver product, which could adversely affect our results of operations to the extent that a portion of the rent we receive from tenants is earned under variable-rent leases. Disruptions in the meat packing industry due to worker health concerns may affect herd and flock sizes and ultimately feed demand.

Despite short- and medium-term disruptions in the U.S. agricultural industry, we do not expect global demand for food, feed, fuel and fiber to be materially affected by COVID-19 and the related economic turmoil, and therefore in the long term we expect the industry to experience some degree of transformation, but to survive relatively unscathed compared to other industries. As owners of essential long-term assets in an essential industry, we also expect our business to perform relatively well, although we are certainly prepared for a measure of yet largely unidentified medium-term pain. We expect certain farmers’ profitability to be impacted, however a combination of the high quality of our tenant base and financial support measures implemented by the U.S. federal government should prevent a material degradation in our tenants’ creditworthiness.

At this time, we are unable to estimate the ultimate impact of these effects on our tenants and their ability to pay rent in full and on time. However, the longer the economic slowdown continues, it becomes more likely that these factors will impact our results in a material way. Although a significant amount of our tenants paid 50% of their annual rent in the first quarter of the year in accordance with the respective leases, financial challenges facing our tenants could result in delays in our tenants’ ability to pay the remaining rent due under the leases, requests for rent deferral, business closures or bankruptcies.

The direct impact of COVID-19 on our operations has been so far limited. Even though we operate in an essential industry and therefore we are largely exempted from stay-at-home orders, we have prioritized the health and well-being of our employees. We asked our office staff to work from home whenever possible even before the City and County of Denver and the State of Colorado implemented stay-at-home orders. Our technology infrastructure was already well suited to remote working conditions, and the layout of our offices allowed us to substantially observe social distancing guidelines when staff need to be present in the office. We asked our field personnel to limit travel to only those trips required to monitor and maintain the farms we already own, and to substantially lessen direct contact with our tenants and suppliers. As a result of these worker health measures, we have experienced a perceptible degradation in operating efficiency, but not to such an extent as to materially affect our financial results or internal controls. As of the beginning of the third quarter of 2020, both in-person office attendance and frequency of travel have increased as compared to the beginning of the pandemic, but remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Our interactions with critical third parties have been affected, but so far we have been able to mitigate any material impact on our business. We are working with one of our existing lenders to refinance $48.3 million of debt with Farmer Mac originally due in June and July of this year. However the lender informed us that, as a result of travel restrictions implemented to contain the spread of the pandemic, they would be unable to meet the refinancing deadlines of June and July 2020. In order to avoid repayment issues, we were able to secure from Farmer Mac an extension of the due date of the expiring debt to October 31, 2020, and the refinancing lender expects to be able to meet that deadline. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional extensions of near-term maturities if travel restrictions remain in place or are put back in place after a period of time.

The global capital markets have experienced significant turmoil since the beginning of the pandemic. However, we don’t have any immediate plans to issue equity capital. During the 2008 financial crisis, the availability and pricing of agricultural debt remained largely unaffected, reflecting the stability of farmland values and food demand. We believe

Table of Contents

that, other than the short-term logistical disruptions due to travel restrictions discussed above, our access to debt financing in the ordinary course of business will remain largely unaffected.

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations and Farmland Values

The principal factors affecting our operating results and the value of our farmland include global demand for food relative to the global supply of food, farmland fundamentals and economic conditions in the markets in which we own farmland and our ability to increase or maintain rental revenues while controlling expenses. Although farmland prices may show a decline from time to time, we believe that any reduction in U.S. farmland values overall is likely to be short-lived as global demand for food and agricultural commodities typically exceeds global supply.

Demand

Notwithstanding any impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that global demand for food, driven primarily by significant increases in the global population and GDP per capita, will continue to be the key driver of farmland values. We further expect that global demand for most crops will continue to grow to keep pace with global population growth, which we anticipate will lead to either higher prices and/or higher yields and, therefore, higher rental rates on our farmland, as well as sustained growth in farmland values over the long term. We also believe that growth in global GDP per capita, particularly in developing nations, will contribute significantly to increasing demand for primary crops. As global GDP per capita increases, the composition of daily caloric intake is expected to shift away from the direct consumption of primary crops toward animal-based proteins, which is expected to result in increased demand for primary crops as feed for livestock. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (“UN FAO”), these factors are expected to require more than one billion additional tons of global annual grain production by 2050, a 43% increase from 2005-2007 levels and more than two times the 446 million tons of grain produced in the United States in 2014. Furthermore, we believe that, as GDP per capita grows, a significant portion of additional household income is allocated to food and that once individuals increase consumption of, and spending on, higher quality food, they will strongly resist returning to their former dietary habits, resulting in greater inelasticity in the demand for food. As a result, we believe that, as global demand for food increases, rental rates on our farmland and the value of our farmland will increase over the long term. Global demand for corn and soybeans as inputs in the production of biofuels such as ethanol and soy diesel also could impact the prices of corn and soybeans, which, in the long term, could impact our rental revenues and our results of operations. As described above, the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce its spread have impacted demand for corn. However, the success of our long-term business strategy is not dependent on growth in demand for biofuels, and we do not believe that demand for corn and soybeans as inputs in the production of biofuels will materially impact our results of operations or the value of our farmland, primarily because we believe that growth in global population and GDP per capita will be more significant drivers of global demand for primary crops over the long term.

Supply

Global supply of agricultural commodities is driven by two primary factors, the number of tillable acres available for crop production and the productivity of the acres being farmed. Although the amount of global cropland in use has gradually increased over time, growth has plateaued over the last 20 years. Cropland area continues to increase in developing countries, but after accounting for expected continuing cropland loss, the UN FAO projects only 173 million acres will be added from 2005-2007 to 2050, an approximate 5% increase. In comparison, world population is expected to grow over the same period to 9.1 billion, a nearly 40% increase. According to the World Bank Group arable land per capita has decreased by approximately 50% from 1961 to 2015. While we expect growth in the global supply of arable land, we also expect that landowners will only put that land into production if increases in commodity prices and the value of farmland cause landowners to benefit economically from using the land for farming rather than alternative uses. We also believe that decreases in the amount of arable land in the United States and globally as a result of increasing urbanization will partially offset the impact of additional supply of farmland. Additionally, we believe that farmland lost to urban development disproportionately impacts higher quality farmland. According to a study published in 2017 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, urban expansion is expected to take place on cropland that is 1.77 times more productive than the global average. The global supply of food is also impacted by the productivity per acre of tillable land. Historically, productivity gains (measured by average crop yields) have been driven by advances in seed technology, farm equipment, irrigation techniques, improvements in soil health, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Furthermore,

Table of Contents

we expect the increasing shortage of water in many irrigated growing regions in the United States and other growing regions around the globe, often as a result of new water restrictions imposed by laws or regulations, to lead to decreased productivity growth on many acres and, in some cases, cause yields to decline on those acres.

Conditions in Our Existing Markets

Our portfolio spans numerous farmland markets and crop types, which provides us broad diversification across conditions in these markets. Across all regions, farmland acquisitions continue to be dominated by buyers who are existing farm owners and operators; institutional and investor acquirors remain a small fraction of the industry. We generally see firm demand for high quality properties across all regions and crop types.

With regard to leasing dynamics, we believe quality farmland in the United States has a near-zero vacancy rate as a result of the supply and demand fundamentals discussed above. Our view is that rental rates for farmland are a function of farmland operators’ view of the long-term profitability of farmland, and that many farm operators will compete for farmland even during periods of decreased profitability due to the scarcity of farmland available to rent. In particular, we believe that due to the relatively high fixed costs associated with farming operations (including equipment, labor and knowledge), many farm operators in some circumstances will rent additional acres of farmland when it becomes available in order to allocate their fixed costs over additional acres. Furthermore, because it is generally customary in the industry to provide the existing tenant with the opportunity to re-lease the land at the end of each lease term, we believe that many farm operators will rent additional land that becomes available in order to control the ability to farm that land in future periods. As a result, in our experience, many farm operators will aggressively pursue rental opportunities in their operable geographic area, even when the farmer anticipates lower current returns or short-term losses.

In our primary crop farmland, we see flat to modestly higher rent rates in connection with 2020 lease renewals. This is consistent with, on the one hand, headwinds in primary crop markets and, on the other, tenant demand for leasing high quality farmland. Due to the short-term nature of most of our primary crop leases, we believe that a recovery of crop prices and farm profitability would be reflected relatively rapidly in our revenues via increases in rent rates. Across specialty crops, operator profitability is under some pressure. Participating lease structures are common in many specialty crops and base lease rates are consistent with or somewhat lower than 2019.

Lease Expirations

Farm leases are generally short-term in nature. As of June 30, 2020, our portfolio had the following lease expirations as a percentage of approximate acres leased and annual minimum cash rents:


($ in thousands)
Year Ending December 31,	Approximate Acres	% of Approximate Acres		Annual Rents		% of Annual Cash Rents
2020 (remaining six months)	44,940	28.8	%	$	10,431	19.2	%
2021	43,889	28.1	%		9,113	16.8	%
2022	30,480	19.5	%		6,277	11.6	%

	155,981	100.0	%	$	54,252	100.0	%

As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately 48,000 acres for which lease payments are at least partially based on a percentage of farming revenues and 3,676 acres that are leased to our TRS. Acres leased to our TRS are not included in the table above. From time to time, we may enter into recreational leases on our farms. Since lease renewal periods are exercisable at the option of the lessee, the preceding table presents future lease expirations during the initial lease term only.

Rental Revenues

Our revenues are primarily generated from renting farmland to operators of farming businesses. Our leases have terms ranging from one to 25 years, with three years being the most common. Although the majority of our leases do not provide

Table of Contents

the tenant with a contractual right to renew the lease upon its expiration, we believe it is customary to provide the existing tenant with the opportunity to renew the lease, subject to any increase in the rental rate that we may establish. If the tenant elects not to renew the lease at the end of the lease term, the land will be offered to a new tenant.

The leases for the majority of the properties in our portfolio provide that tenants must pay us at least 50% of the annual rent in advance of each spring planting season. As a result, we collect a significant portion of total annual rents in the first calendar quarter of each year. We believe our use of leases pursuant to which at least 50% of the annual rent is payable in advance of each spring planting season mitigates the tenant credit risk associated with the variability of farming operations that could be adversely impacted by poor crop yields, weather conditions, mismanagement, undercapitalization or other factors affecting our tenants. Tenant credit risk is further mitigated by requiring that our tenants maintain crop insurance and by our claim on a portion of the related proceeds, if any, as well as by our security interest in the growing crop. Prior to acquiring farmland property, we take into consideration the competitiveness of the local farm-operator tenant environment in order to enhance our ability to quickly replace a tenant that is unwilling to renew a lease or is unable to pay a rent payment when it is due. Some of our leases provide for a reimbursement of the property taxes we pay.

As described above, we are assessing the impact, if any, on our ability to collect rent from our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, we expect to continue to be able to collect rents in full and on time. However, the situation is continuing to develop, and we are assessing the potential impact on our tenants on an ongoing basis.

Expenses

Substantially all of our farm leases are structured in such a way that we are responsible for major maintenance, certain insurance and taxes (which are sometimes reimbursed to us by our tenants), while our tenant is responsible for minor maintenance, water usage and all of the additional input costs related to farming operations on the property, such as seed, fertilizer, labor and fuel. We expect that substantially all of the leases for farmland we acquire in the future will continue to be structured in a manner consistent with substantially all of our existing leases. As the owner of the land, we generally only bear costs related to major capital improvements permanently attached to the property, such as irrigation systems, drainage tile, grain storage facilities, permanent plantings or other physical structures customary for farms. In cases where capital expenditures are necessary, we typically seek to offset, over a period of multiple years, the costs of such capital expenditures by increasing rental rates. We also incur the costs associated with maintaining liability and casualty insurance.

We incur costs associated with running a public company, including, among others, costs associated with employing our personnel and compliance costs. We incur costs associated with due diligence and acquisitions, including, among others, travel expenses, consulting fees and legal and accounting fees. We also incur costs associated with managing our farmland. The management of our farmland, generally, is not labor or capital intensive because farmland generally has minimal physical structures that require routine inspection and maintenance, and our leases, generally, are structured to require the tenant to pay many of the costs associated with the property. Furthermore, we believe that our platform is scalable, and we do not expect the expenses associated with managing our portfolio of farmland to increase significantly as the number of farm properties we own increases over time.

Crop Prices

We believe short-term crop price changes have had little effect historically on farmland values. They also have a limited impact on our rental revenue, as most of our leases provide for a fixed cash rental rate, a common approach in agricultural markets, especially with respect to row crops, for several reasons. This approach recognizes that the value of leased land to a tenant is more closely linked to the total revenue produced on the property, which is driven by crop yield and crop price. This approach simplifies the administrative requirements for the landlord and the tenant significantly. This approach supports the tenants’ desire to maintain access to their leased farms, which are in short supply, a concept expanded upon below, by providing the landlord consistent rents. Crop price exposure is also limited because tenants also benefit from the fundamental revenue hedging that occurs when large crop yields mitigate the effect of lower crop prices. Similarly, lower crop yields have a tendency to trigger higher crop prices and help increase revenue even when confronted by lower crop yields. Such hedging effect also limits the impact of short-term crop price changes on revenues generated by leases with a bonus component based on farm revenues. Further risk mitigation is available to tenants, and indirectly to

Table of Contents

us, via crop insurance and hedging programs implemented by tenants. Our TRS also takes advantage of these risk mitigation programs and strategies.

We believe quality farmland in the United States has a near-zero vacancy rate as a result of supply and demand fundamentals. Our view is that rental rates for farmland are a function of farmland operators’ view of the long-term profitability of farmland and that many farm operators will compete for farmland even during periods of decreased profitability due to the scarcity of farmland available to rent. In particular, we believe that due to the relatively high fixed costs associated with farming operations (including equipment, labor and knowledge), many farm operators in some circumstances will rent additional acres of farmland when they become available in order to allocate their fixed costs over additional acres. Furthermore, because it is generally customary in the industry to provide the existing tenant with the opportunity to re-lease the land at the end of each lease term, we believe that many farm operators will rent additional land that becomes available in order to control the ability to farm that land in future periods. As a result, in our experience, many farm operators will aggressively pursue rental opportunities in their operable geography, even when the farmer anticipates lower current returns or short-term losses.

The value of a crop is affected by many factors that can differ on a yearly basis. Weather conditions and crop diseases in major crop production regions worldwide create a significant risk of price volatility, which may either increase or decrease the value of the crops that our tenants produce each year. Other material factors adding to the volatility of crop prices are changes in government regulations and policy, fluctuations in global prosperity, fluctuations in foreign trade and export markets and eruptions of military conflicts or civil unrest. Prices for many primary crops, particularly corn, experienced meaningful declines in 2014 and 2015, and have still not recovered to their pre-2014 prices. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted crop prices, including corn and soybeans. We do not believe such declines represent a trend over the long term. Rather, we believe those declines represented a combination of correction to historical norms (adjusted for inflation) and high yields due to favorable weather patterns, and in the case of recent declines in crop prices, a reaction to the decline in economic activity as a result of the pandemic. We expect that continued long-term growth trends in global population and GDP per capita will result in increased revenue per acre for primary crops over time. We expect pricing across specialty crops to generally remain soft in 2020, and possibly 2021, until the economic disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic are behind us. Although annual rental payments under the majority of our leases are not based expressly on the quality or profitability of our tenants’ harvests, any of these factors could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to meet their obligations to us and our ability to lease or re-lease properties on favorable terms.

Interest Rates

We expect that future changes in interest rates will impact our overall operating performance by, among other things, affecting our borrowing costs. While we may seek to manage our exposure to future changes in rates through interest rate swap agreements or interest rate caps, portions of our overall outstanding debt will likely remain at floating rates. In addition, a sustained material increase in interest rates may cause farmland prices to decline if the rise in real interest rates (which is defined as nominal interest rates minus the inflation rate) is not accompanied by rises in the general levels of inflation. However, our business model anticipates that over time the value of our farmland will increase, as it has in the past, at a rate that is equal to or greater than the rate of inflation, which may in part offset the impact of rising interest rates on the value of our farmland, but there can be no guarantee that this appreciation will occur to the extent that we anticipate or at all.

International Trade

Following the trade tensions between China and the U.S. that started developing in 2018, the two countries reached a "Phase 1" trade deal in late 2019. At this point, we believe that China and the U.S. will endeavor to largely comply with the Phase 1 trade deal, leading to increased purchases by China of many U.S. agricultural exports. However, the economic and political disruptions introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic make it difficult to predict whether the Phase 1 agreement will be maintained.

The short to medium-term impact on the Company’s financial performance due to a trade conflict may be mitigated by the multi-year term structure of many of our leases and limited to contingent rent components. However, a long-term trade conflict would likely impact our rents and thereby negatively impact our business. Additionally, a long-term trade

Table of Contents

conflict would likely motivate non-US. agricultural businesses to strengthen their logistics and trade infrastructure. This may also lead to the weakening of U.S. agricultural trade relationships that would be difficult for the United States to reestablish in the future.

Our rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted partially by the three farm dispositions during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additionally, upon renewal in 2020, a number of leases transitioned to higher percentages of variable rents relative to fixed rents, which variable rents have yet to be received. To highlight the effect of changes due to acquisitions and dispositions, we have separately discussed the rental income for the same-property portfolio, which includes only properties owned and operated for the entirety of both periods presented. The

Table of Contents

same-property portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2020 includes approximately 148,500 acres, representing 95% of our current portfolio on an acreage basis.

On a same-property basis, total rental income decreased $0.3 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Management does not believe that same-property rent comparisons for periods shorter than the full year are necessarily indicative of the expected full year comparison because the majority of bonus and crop share rent payments are expected to be received in the fourth quarter.

Rental income decreased $0.6 million, or 5.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from asset dispositions and the timing of crop share revenue recognition in connection with certain permanent crops.

Revenues recognized from tenant reimbursement of property taxes increased $0.4 million, or 89.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is the result of higher tenant reimbursement revenues on properties in the state of California.

Crop sales totaled $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $0.5 million in the comparative three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The slight decrease in crop sales is due to timing.

Other revenues totaled $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $0.3 million in the comparative three-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense decreased $0.1 million, or 4.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 as a result of the decrease of the amortization of in-place leases acquired as part of the AFCO acquisition that were fully amortized in prior periods.

Property operating expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 16.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is largely due to lower travel expense and bad debt expense.

General and administrative expenses remained comparable for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Cost of goods sold increased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was largely due to the timing of citrus sales year over year.

Legal and accounting expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 34.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily the result of lower legal fees incurred during Q2 2020 in relation to a “short and distort” attack against the Company conducted by anonymous parties, including Quinton Mathews, under the pseudonym Rota Fortunae, as discussed below under Part II Item 1 “Legal Proceedings,” and his co-conspirators. The Company is pursuing litigation against Quinton Mathews and his co-conspirators (collectively “Wheel of Fortune”), and is defending stockholder class action lawsuits that are related to the claims made by Wheel of Fortune. The Company believes that a substantial portion of the costs associated with the stockholder class action litigation will be covered by insurance, but the Company can provide no assurances that costs willnot ultimately be in excess of the $0.35 million that will be covered by insurance. The Company does not expect insurance proceeds to cover a substantial portion of the costs related to the lawsuit it filed against Wheel of Fortune.

Other operating expenses were $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Other income decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting primarily from losses in commodity futures.

Gain on disposition of assets decreased $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarly to the gain on sale of properties during Q2 2019 as opposed to smaller dispositions occurring in Q2 2020. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 the Company recorded disposals of storm-damaged pivots.

Interest expense decreased $0.6 million, or 11.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is the result of a decrease in interest rates on floating rate debt and the lower outstanding balance of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay any outstanding borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders and other general business needs.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to acquire additional farmland, to pay legal fees in relation to the stockholder class action litigation and the Rota Fortunae litigation in excess of the Company’s insurance coverage and make other investments consistent with our investment make principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings, make distributions on our Series A preferred units and Series B Participating Preferred Stock and make distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT and fund our operations. Our sources of funds primarily will be cash on hand, operating cash flows, proceeds from asset disposals and borrowings from prospective lenders.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to acquire additional farmland, make other investments and certain long-term capital expenditures, make principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings and make distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including future equity issuances (including issuances of Common units), net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings.

We manage our liquidity position and expected liquidity needs taking into consideration current cash balances and reasonably expected cash receipts. When material debt repayments are due within the following 12 months, we work with current and new lenders and other potential sources of capital to ensure that all our obligations are timely satisfied. Our ability to incur additional debt will depend on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets, compliance with the covenants under our existing debt agreements, borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders and the conditions of debt markets. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will depend on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

On April 30, 2020, the Company entered into amendments to bonds 8A and 9 with Farmer Mac to extend the maturities of such bonds, under which there is a total of $48.3 million outstanding, from June and July 2020 to October 31, 2020. We are working with one of our existing lenders to refinance Farmer Mac bonds 8A and 9, and we anticipated having the refinancing finalized during the second quarter of 2020. However the lender informed us that, as a result of travel restrictions implemented to contain the spread of the pandemic, they would be unable to meet the refinancing deadlines of June and July 2020. In order to avoid repayment issues, we were able to secure from Farmer Mac an extension of the due date of the expiring debt to October 31, 2020, and the refinancing lender expects to be able to meet that deadline. However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional extensions of these near-term maturities if travel restrictions are put back in place. If we are unable to refinance this debt, we may be required to dispose of farms to repay it at maturity.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we used $3.2 million to repurchase an aggregate of 494,661 shares of common stock and $3.1 million to repurchase an aggregate of 140,189 shares of Series B Participating preferred stock.We currently have authority to repurchase up to an aggregate of $44.7 million in additional shares of our common stock or shares of our Series B participating preferred Stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”)

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management presents FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of improvements on our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. FFO also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

We do not, however, believe that FFO is the only measure of the sustainability of our operating performance. Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of Nareit’s definition of FFO in 1999 result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of our operating performance. Therefore, in addition to FFO, we present AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period and is only intended to provide an additional measure of our operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms. Management considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides additional insight into how our operating performance could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess our performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, and, accordingly, our AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance or as an alternative to net income (loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

Table of Contents

AFFO is calculated by adjusting FFO to exclude or include the income and expenses that we believe are not reflective of the sustainability of our ongoing operating performance, as further explained below:

●

Real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs. Acquisition (including audit fees associated with these acquisitions) and due diligence costs are incurred for investment purposes and, therefore, do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our portfolio. We believe that excluding these costs from AFFO provides useful supplemental information reflective of the realized economic impact of our leases, which is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance. Acquisition and due diligence costs totaled $0.0 million and $0.0 million and $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We believe that excluding these costs from AFFO provides useful supplemental information reflective of the realized economic impact of our current acquisition strategy, which is useful in assessing the sustainability of our operating performance. These exclusions also improve comparability of our results over each reporting period and of our Company with other real estate operators.

●

Stock based compensation. Stock based compensation is a non-cash expense and, therefore, does not correlate with the ongoing operations. We believe that excluding these costs from AFFO improves comparability of our results over each reporting period and of our Company with other real estate operators.

●

Deferred impact of interest rate swap terminations. When an interest rate swap is terminated and the related termination fees are rolled into a new swap, the terminated swap's termination fees are amortized over what would have been the remaining life of the terminated swap, while the related contractual and financial obligations extend over the life of the new swap. As a result, the net impact on interest expense is uneven throughout the life of the swap, which is inconsistent with the purpose of an interest rate swap. We believe that, with this adjustment, AFFO better reflects the actual cash cost of the fixed interest rate we are obligated to pay under the new swap agreement, and results in improved comparability of our results across reporting periods.

●

Distributions on Series A preferred units. Distributions on Series A preferred units, which are convertible into Common units on or after March 2, 2026, have a fixed and certain impact on our cash flow, and thus they are subtracted from FFO. We believe this improves comparability of our Company with other real estate operators.

●

Dividends on Series B Participating Preferred Stock. Dividends on Series B Participating Preferred Stock, which may be redeemed for cash or converted into shares of common stock on or after September 30, 2021, have a fixed and certain impact on our cash flow, and thus they are subtracted from FFO. We believe this improves comparability of our Company with other real estate operators.

●

Common shares fully diluted. In accordance with GAAP, common shares used to calculate earnings per share are presented on a weighted average basis. Common shares on a fully diluted basis includes shares of common stock, Common units, redeemable Common units and unvested restricted stock outstanding at the end of the period on a share equivalent basis because all shares are participating securities and thus share in the performance of the Company. The conversion of Series A preferred units is excluded from the calculation of common shares fully diluted as they are not participating securities; thus, they don’t share in the performance of the Company, and their impact on shares outstanding is uncertain.

EBITDAre

The Company calculates Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT in its September 2017 White Paper. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. EBITDAre is a key financial measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDAre is a useful performance measure commonly reported and will be widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDAre is a performance measure widely used across the Company’s industry, the Company does not believe that it correctly captures the Company’s business operating performance because it includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are necessary to better understand the Company’s business operating performance. Therefore, in addition to EBITDAre, management uses Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP measure.

Table of Contents

We further adjust EBITDAre for certain additional items such as stock based compensation, indirect offering costs, real estate acquisition related audit fees and real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs (for a full discussion of these adjustments, see AFFO adjustments discussed above) that we consider necessary to understand our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAre provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of our operating performance.

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

●

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

●

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

●

EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

●

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre do not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and

●

Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results of operations and using EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre only as a supplemental measure of our performance.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income to our EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre for the periods indicated below (unaudited):

Inflation

Most of our farming leases are two to three years for row crops and one to seven years for permanent crops, pursuant to which each tenant is responsible for substantially all of the operating expenses related to the property, including maintenance, water usage and insurance. As a result, we believe that the effect on us of inflationary increases in operating expenses may be offset in part by the operating expenses that are passed through to our tenants and by contractual rent increases because our leases will be renegotiated every one to five years. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

Seasonality

Because the leases for many of the properties in our portfolio require significant payments in advance of the spring planting season (for row crops), we receive a significant portion of our cash rental payments in the first calendar quarter of each year, although we recognize rental revenue from these leases on a pro rata basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease in accordance with GAAP.

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. In pursuing our business strategies, the primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure will be the daily LIBOR. We may use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also may use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We will not use such derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.

At June 30, 2020, $181.0 million, or 35.3%, of our debt had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increased by 1.0%, or 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $0.9 million per year. At June 30, 2020, 1 year LIBOR was approximately 17 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR were reduced to 0 basis points, our cash flow would increase approximately $2.1 million per year.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We previously reported a material weakness that was identified as of December 31, 2019 related to the design and implementation of compensating controls relating to information technology general controls.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, due to the existence of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Remediation of the Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we implemented additional quarterly review controls over logical access, user administration and security changes for information technology systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process. Management believes the additional quarterly review controls that have been implemented will remediate the identified deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

On July 11, 2018, a purported class action lawsuit, captioned Kachmar v. Farmland Partners Inc. (the “Kachmar Action”), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and certain of our officers by a purported Company stockholder. The complaint alleges, among other things, that our disclosure related to the FPI Loan Program was materially false and misleading in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On August 17, 2018, a second purported class action, captioned Mariconda v. Farmland Partners Inc. (the “Mariconda Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging substantially identical claims as the Kachmar Action. Several purported shareholders moved to consolidate the Kachmar Action and the Mariconda Action and for appointment as Lead Plaintiff. On November 13, 2018, the plaintiff in the Kachmar action voluntarily dismissed the Kachmar Action. On December 3, 2018, the court appointed two purported stockholders of the Company, the Turner Insurance Agency, Inc. and Cecilia Turner (the “Turners”), as lead plaintiffs in the Mariconda Action. On March 11, 2019, the court-appointed lead plaintiffs and additional plaintiff Obelisk Capital Management filed an amended complaint in the Turner Action. On April 15, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint in the Turner Action. On June 18, 2019, the court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint in the Turner Action. The defendants answered the amended complaint on July 2, 2019. On December 6, 2019, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Obelisk Capital Management from the case. In connection with Obelisk Capital Management’s dismissal from the case, defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings on December 10, 2019, which automatically stayed discovery in the action pending the court’s determination of the motion. On December 16, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification. On December 27, 2019, plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. Defendants filed a response opposing the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint on January 17, 2020, and filed a motion to adjourn the class certification briefing schedule in light of the discovery stay on January 29, 2020. These motions remain pending and discovery remains stayed pending decision on defendants’ motion for judgment on the pleadings. At this time, no class has been certified in the Turner Action and we do not know the amount of damages or other remedies being sought by the plaintiffs. The Company can provide no assurances as to the outcome of this litigation or provide an estimate of related expenses at this time.

complaint makes similar claims to those in the Turner, Winter, Luger, and Barber Actions. None of the defendants have yet been served in the Hustedde Action.

On July 24, 2018, we filed a lawsuit in the District Court, Denver County, Colorado, against “Rota Fortunae” (a pseudonym for Quinton Mathews, the individual behind Rota Fortunae) and numerous co-conspirators (collectively, “Wheel of Fortune”) in response to an article posted by Quinton Mathews on Seeking Alpha that makes numerous allegations about the Company that we believe to be false or materially misleading. We believe that as a consequence of Wheel of Fortune’s internet posting and related postings on social media, the trading price of our common stock declined by approximately 40%. We believe that Wheel of Fortune’s, including Quinton Mathews’s, internet posting was made in connection with a “short and distort” scheme to profit from a decline in our stock price based on false and misleading information. The lawsuit that we filed alleges that Wheel of Fortune, including Quinton Mathews disseminated material false, misleading and defamatory information about us that has harmed us and our stockholders. The Company does not expect insurance proceeds to cover a substantial portion of the costs related to the lawsuit we filed against Wheel of Fortune, including Quinton Mathews. On May 15, 2020, United States District Court for the District of Colorado to which this case was removed issued orders (i) denying Rota Fortunae’s motion to dismiss our claims; and (ii) requiring him to disclose his identity. On July 28, 2020, the Court granted our motion to amend the complaint to add Rota Fortunae’s name as well as the following co-conspirators: QKM, L.L.C., Sabrepoint Capital Mangement, LP, Donald Marchiony and George Baxter. The case is currently in the discovery phase.

For information regarding legal proceedings as of June 30, 2020, refer to Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in response to “Part I – Item 1A. ‘Risk Factors’” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2020.

Share Repurchase Program

On March 15, 2017, our board of directors approved a program to repurchase up to $25,000,000 in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program may be made from time to time, in amounts and prices as we deem appropriate. Repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, trading restrictions under our insider trading policy and other relevant factors. In November 2017, our Board of Directors approved repurchases of our Series B participating preferred stock from time to time under the share repurchase program. This share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock or Series B participating preferred stock, and it may be modified or suspended at any time at our discretion. We expect to fund repurchases under the program using cash on our balance sheet. Our repurchase activity for the three months ended June 30, 2020 under the share repurchase program is presented in the following table. On August 1, 2018, our Board of Directors increased the authority under the

Table of Contents

share repurchase to $38.5 million. On November 7, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an additional $50 million under the share repurchase program. As of the date of this report, we had $44.7 million of availability under the program.
