If so, the appropriate classification shall depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the item.” Also, at the 2006 AICPA Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing, was sold for $5.9 million in 2021, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $2.5 million related to the water purchased in the prior year is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.5.92.5In June 2021, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $8.5 million to TRC-MRC 4, LLC an unconsolidated joint venture formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 630,000 square foot industrial building on the Company's property at TRCC-East. The total cost of the land was $2.9 million. The Company recognized $2.8 million in profit and deferred $2.8 million of profit after applying the five-step revenue recognition model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 — Revenue From Contracts With Customers and ASC Topic 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Historically, cash outflows related to land development expenditures were accounted for within investing activities. For consistency, the Company will continue to classify cash outflows and cash inflows related to land development as investing

1In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-45-22, which provides that “Certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows…. If so, the appropriate classification shall depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the item.” Also, at the 2006 AICPA Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.

Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing, was sold for $5.9 million in 2021, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $2.5 million related to the water purchased in the prior year is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.

2 In June 2021, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $8.5 million to TRC-MRC 4, LLC an unconsolidated joint venture formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 630,000 square foot industrial building on the Company's property at TRCC-East. The total cost of the land was $2.9 million. The Company recognized $2.8 million in profit and deferred $2.8 million of profit after applying the five-step revenue recognition model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606 — Revenue From Contracts With Customers and ASC Topic 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Historically, cash outflows related to land development expenditures were accounted for within investing activities. For consistency, the Company will continue to classify cash outflows and cash inflows related to land development as investing activities.

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

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements.
The periods ending June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC’s statement of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment and statements of cash flows. The Company’s June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 balance sheets and statements of changes in equity and noncontrolling interests are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC.
The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.
The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. The coronavirus, COVID-19, has also brought additional uncertainty previously unseen. We continued to experience negative impacts during the first quarter of 2021, with signs of improvements during the second quarter as restrictions in California were lifted in mid-June 2021. The Company's retail and hospitality segments fully reopened and operated without restrictions during the second quarter. The Company's other segments remained operationally unaffected as they have always been deemed essential.
Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion.
For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relate to funds held in escrow. The Company had $803,000 of restricted cash as of June 30, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Lease Concessions Related to COVID-19 Pandemic
In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a Staff Question-and-Answer, or Q&A, intended to reduce the operational challenges and complexity of accounting for leases at a time when many businesses have been ordered to close or have seen revenue drop due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB determined that it would be appropriate for entities to make accounting policy elections over lease concessions resulting directly from COVID-19. Rather than analyzing each lease contract individually, entities can elect to account for lease concessions “as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed, regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract.” Accordingly, entities that choose to apply the relief provided by the FASB can either (1) apply the modification framework for these concessions in accordance with ASC, Topic 840 or ASC Topic 842 as applicable or (2) account for the concessions as if they were made under the enforceable rights included in the original agreement and are thus outside of the modification framework. In making this election, an entity would not need to perform a lease-by-lease analysis to evaluate the enforceable rights and may instead simply treat the change as if the enforceable rights were included or excluded in the original agreement. The election not to apply lease modification accounting is only available when total cash flows resulting from the modified contract are “substantially the same or less” than the cash flows in the original contract.
The Company elected to account for lease concessions outside of the modification framework as allowed by the FASB Q&A. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in tenant requests for rent relief, with a majority of the requests occurring in the second
10


quarter of 2020. In 2020, the Company reached agreements with all commercial tenants that requested rent deferrals. Based on the terms of the agreements reached with the Company's tenants, all deferred rent will be fully repaid by the end of 2021. The Company will account for the rent receivables as if no changes to the lease were made, and the rent receivable for the deferral period will stay on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet until the rent is collected over the passage of time. Please refer to the Results of Operations by Segment in Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for discussion of the rent deferrals.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The pronouncement provides optional expedients for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden of accounting for reference rate reform. Specifically, the ASU permits modification of contracts within ASC Topic 470, Debt, to be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate when a contract is modified because of reference rate reform. It also provides exceptions to the guidance in ASC Topic 815 related to changes to critical terms of a hedging relationship: the change in reference rate will not result in de-designation of a hedging relationship if certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. This pronouncement has not had, and is not expected to have, a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
2.    EQUITY
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and the vesting of restricted stock grants per ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

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

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326)" on January 1, 2020 prospectively. Under ASC Topic 326-30, the Company is now required to use an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, measured as the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit losses through earnings offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At June 30, 2021 the Company has not recorded any credit losses.
At June 30, 2021, the fair market value of marketable securities was $2,000 below their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $2,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $4,000. As of June 30, 2021, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a decline in market value of $7,000, including estimated taxes of $2,000.
The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance per ASC Topic 326-30-50-3A. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $48,000 as of June 30, 2021, and was included within the Other Assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.
U.S. Treasury and agency notes
The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at June 30, 2021 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. The unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of June 30, 2021.
Corporate notes
The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

5.     LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS
Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by the Tejon-Castac Water District (TCWD) in the Kern Water Banks.
The Company has secured State Water Project, or SWP, entitlement under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, or Tulare Lake Basin, and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, or Dudley-Ridge, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency, or AVEK, for use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.
The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 2021 is $817 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 3%.
Water assets will ultimately be sold to water districts servicing the Company’s commercial/industrial and resort/residential real estate developments, and for the Company's own use in its agricultural operations. Interim uses may include the sale of the temporary "right-of-use" of portions of this water to third-party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as previously described.

Water contracts with the Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, or WRMWSD, and TCWD are also in place, but were entered into with each district at the inception of the respective contracts, and were not purchased later from third parties, and do not have a related financial value on the books of the Company. Therefore, there is no amortization expense related to these contracts. Total water resources, including both recurring and one-time usage, are:

Tejon Ranchcorp, or Ranchcorp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tejon Ranch Co., entered into a Water Supply Agreement with Pastoria Energy Facility, L.L.C., or PEF, in 2015. PEF is a current lessee of the Company in a land lease for the operation of a power plant. Pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement, PEF may purchase from the Company up to 3,500 acre-feet of water per year until July 31, 2030, with an option to extend the term. PEF is under no obligation to purchase water from the Company in any year but is required to pay the Company an annual option payment equal to 30% of the maximum annual payment. The price of the water under the Water Supply Agreement for 2021 is $1,188 per acre-foot, subject to 3% annual increases over the life of the contract. The Water Supply Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties that are typical for agreements of this type. The Company's commitments to sell water can be met through current water assets.

9.     STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for making awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as corporate cash flow goals or share price, also known as Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. Performance Condition Grants with market-based conditions are based on the achievement of a target share price. The share price used to calculate vesting for market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to achieve the target share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions do not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.
The following is a summary of the Company's Performance Condition Grants as of the six months ended June 30, 2021:

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of June 30, 2021 were $5,704,000 and 17 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. The fair value of performance grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant once the Company determines that it is probable that the award will vest. This fair value is expensed over the service period applicable to these grants. For performance grants that contain a range of shares from zero to a maximum, the Company determined, based on historic and projected results, the probability of (1) achieving the performance objective and (2) the level of achievement. Based on this information, the Company determines the fair value of the award and measures the expense over the service period related to these grants. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company will adjust stock compensation costs according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.
Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, or NDSI Plan, each non-employee director receives a portion of his or her annual compensation in stock. The stock is granted at the end of each quarter based on the quarter-end stock price.

10.     INTEREST RATE SWAP
In October 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the floating interest rate tied to LIBOR under the term note with Wells Fargo, or the Term Note, as discussed within the Capital Structure and Financial Condition section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. On June 21, 2019, the Company amended the interest rate swap agreement to continue to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate risk from the Term Note, and, subsequently, the Amended Term Note. The original hedging relationship was de-designated, and the amended interest rate swap was re-designated simultaneously. The amended interest rate swap qualified as an effective cash flow hedge at the initial assessment, based upon a regression analysis, and is recorded at fair value.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the interest rate swap agreement was deemed highly effective. Changes in fair value, including accrued interest and adjustments for non-performance risk, that qualify as cash flow hedges are classified in
17


accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. Amounts classified in AOCI are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. 
As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was less than its cost basis and as such is recorded within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap agreement designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 ($ in thousands):

11.     INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes during the interim reporting periods has historically been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for each respective reporting period. However, the Company utilized a discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by ASC 740-270 “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate taxes for this interim reporting period (the six months ended June 30, 2021). The Company made this choice because it determined that the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to a high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's income tax expense was $1,139,000 compared to $708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Effective tax rates were 39% and -234% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had income tax receivables of $43,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective tax rate was above statutory tax rates as a result of permanent differences related to Section 162(m) limitations and discrete tax expense associated with stock compensation. The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts Jobs Act. The discrete item was triggered when stock grants were issued to participants at a price less than the original grant price, causing a deferred tax shortfall. The shortfall recognized during the quarter represents the reversal of excess deferred tax assets recognized in prior periods. The recognition of the shortfall is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company's current income tax payable.
12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Water Contracts
The Company has secured water contracts that are encumbered by the Company's land, these water contracts require minimum annual payments, for which $12,142,000 is expected to be paid in total for 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has paid $10,238,000 for its water contracts. These estimated water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Dudley-Ridge, and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. Contractual obligations for future water payments were $265,908,000 as of June 30, 2021.
Conservancy Payments
The Company is obligated to make payments of approximately $800,000 per year through 2021 to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy, as prescribed in the 2008 Conservation Agreement with five major environmental organizations. Advances to
the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are dependent on the occurrence of certain events and their timing and are therefore subject to
change in amount and period. All amounts paid are capitalized as real estate development costs for the Centennial, Grapevine and Mountain Village, or MV, projects.
18


Contracts
The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fee will not be finalized until the future payment dates. The Company believes as of June 30, 2021, the net savings resulting from exiting the contract during this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
Community Facilities Districts
The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC, TRPFFA has created two Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $75,965,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $44,035,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.
In connection with the sale of the bonds, there is a standby letter of credit for $4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. The letter of credit is for two years and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $68,000.
The Company is obligated, as a landowner in each CFD, to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. As of June 30, 2021, there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. There are $15,783,000 of additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during future years. During fiscal 2021, the Company expects to pay approximately $2,473,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company was not required to recognize an obligation on June 30, 2021.
Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Litigation
In July 2014, the Company received a copy of a Notice of Intent to Sue, dated July 17, 2014, indicating that the Center for Biological Diversity, or CBD, the Wishtoyo Foundation and Dee Dominguez (collectively the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs) intended to initiate a lawsuit against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or USFWS, challenging USFWS's approval of the Company's Tehachapi Uplands Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan, or TUMSHCP, and USFWS's issuance of an Incidental Take Permit, or ITP, for the take of federally listed species. The TUMSHCP approval and ITP issuance by the USFWS occurred in 2013. These approvals authorize, among other things, the removal of California condor habitat associated with the Company's potential future development of MV.
On April 25, 2019, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs filed suit against the USFWS in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles (Case No. 2:19-CV-3322) (the TUMSHCP Suit). The Company was not initially named as a party in the TUMSHCP Suit and brought a motion to intervene, which the court granted. The TUMSHCP Suit seeks to invalidate the TUMSHCP as it pertains to the protection of the California condor (an endangered species), as well as the ITP.
The primary allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit are that California condors or their habitat are “Traditional Cultural Properties” within the meaning of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), that the USFWS failed to take into account the impact of the TUMSHCP and ITP on these “Traditional Cultural Properties” and failed to adequately consult with affected Native American tribes or their representatives with respect to these “Traditional Cultural Properties.”
Management considers the allegations in the TUMSHCP Suit to be beyond the scope of the law and regulations referenced in the TUMSHCP Suit and believes that the issues raised by the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs were adequately addressed by USFWS during the consultation process with Native American tribes. The Company has supported USFWS's efforts to vigorously defend this matter during this litigation.
In a December 18, 2019 ruling, the court ordered that the parties proceed to bring motions for summary judgment on the question of whether the USFWS correctly determined that the California condor is not a “Traditional Cultural Property” under
19


the NHPA. In response to this order, both the TUMSCHP Plaintiffs and the USFWS and the Company filed cross-motions for summary judgment.
On December 4, 2020, the court issued an order denying, in its entirety, the TUMSHCP Plaintiffs’ motions for summary judgment and granted, in their entirety, USFWS and the Company’s motions for summary judgment. On December 18, 2020, the Company brought a motion to recover attorneys’ fees and costs, as the prevailing party, against the TUMSCHP Plaintiffs.

On February 2, 2021, the court denied the fee motion. Following the court’s ruling on the fee motion, on February 2, 2021, Plaintiffs notified the court of their intent to appeal the court’s ruling on their claims. On April 2, 2021, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal issued a revised briefing schedule that requires opening and responsory briefs to be filed in May and June 2021. The opening and responsive briefs have been extended three times at the request of CBD. We anticipate that the appeal will be heard by the court following briefing, and that the court will rule following the hearing.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company believes the TUMSHCP Suit does not impede its ability to start or complete the development of MV.
National Cement
The Company leases land to National Cement Company of California Inc., or National, for the purpose of manufacturing Portland cement from limestone deposits on the leased acreage. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, or RWQCB, for the Lahontan Region issued orders in the late 1990s with respect to environmental conditions on the property currently leased to National.
The Company's former tenant Lafarge Corporation, or Lafarge, and current tenant National, continue to remediate these environmental conditions consistent with the RWQCB orders.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company is not aware of any failure by Lafarge or National to comply with directives of the RWQCB. Under current and prior leases, National and Lafarge are obligated to indemnify the Company for costs and liabilities arising out of their use of the leased premises. The remediation of environmental conditions is included within the scope of the National or Lafarge indemnity obligations. If the Company were required to remediate the environmental conditions at its own cost, it is unlikely that the amount of any such expenditure by the Company would be material and there is no reasonable likelihood of continuing risk from this matter.
Antelope Valley Groundwater Cases
On November 29, 2004, a conglomerate of public water suppliers filed a cross-complaint in the Los Angeles Superior Court against landowners and others with interest in the groundwater basin within the Antelope Valley (including the Company) seeking a judicial determination of the rights to groundwater within the Antelope Valley basin, including the groundwater underlying the Company’s land near the Centennial project. Four phases of a multi-phase trial have been completed. Upon completion of the third phase, the court ruled that the groundwater basin was in overdraft and established a current total sustainable yield. The fourth phase of trial occurred in the first half of 2013 and resulted in confirmation of each party’s groundwater pumping for 2011 and 2012. The fifth phase of the trial commenced in February 2014 and concerned 1) whether the United States has a federal reserved water right to basin groundwater, and 2) the rights to return flows from imported water. The court heard evidence on the federal reserved right but continued the trial on the return flow issues while most of the parties to the adjudication discussed a settlement, including rights to return flows. In February 2015, more than 140 parties representing more than 99% of the current water use within the adjudication boundary agreed to a settlement. On March 4, 2015, the settling parties, including the Company, submitted a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution to the court for approval. On December 23, 2015, the court entered judgment approving the Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Physical Solution, or the Judgment. The Company’s water supply plan for the Centennial project anticipated reliance on, among other sources, a certain quantity of groundwater underlying the Company’s lands in the Antelope Valley. The Company’s allocation in the Judgment is consistent with that amount. Prior to the Judgment becoming final, on February 19 and 22, 2016, several parties, including the Willis Class (Willis), Phelan Pinon Hills Community Services District (Phelan), and Charles Tapia (Tapia) filed notices of appeal from the Judgment (collectively, the Phelan Appeal). The Phelan Appeal was transferred from the Count of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District of California to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Appellate District of California, or the Fifth District Court of Appeal.

On December 9, 2020, the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the Judgment as to the Phelan Appeal, and the decision is now final. On March 16, 2021, the Fifth District Court of Appeal issued two decisions affirming the Judgment as to both Willis and Tapia. The Tapia decision is now final. The Willis Class filed a Petition for Rehearing which was denied April 6, 2021. On May 14, 2021, the Willis Class filed a petition for review to the California Supreme Court which was denied on July 21, 2021.
20


Despite the former ongoing Willis Appeal, the parties, with assistance from the court, have established the Watermaster Board, hired the Watermaster Engineer and Watermaster Legal Counsel, and begun administering the physical solution consistent with the Judgment.
Summary and Status of Kern Water Bank Lawsuits
On June 3, 2010, the Central Delta and South Delta Water Agencies and several environmental groups, including CBD, collectively, the Central Delta Petitioners, filed a complaint in the Sacramento County Superior Court, or the Central Delta Action, against the California Department of Water Resources, or DWR, Kern County Water Agency, or KCWA, and a number of “real parties in interest,” including the Company and TCWD.  The lawsuit challenges certain amendments to the SWP contracts that were originally approved in 1995, known as the Monterey Amendments. The Central Delta Petitioners sought to invalidate the DWR's approval of the Monterey Amendments and also the 2010 environmental impact report, or 2010 EIR, regarding the Monterey Amendments prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, pertaining to the Kern Water Bank, or KWB. Pursuant to the Monterey Amendments, DWR transferred approximately 20,000 acres in Kern County owned by DWR, or KWB property, to the KCWA.
A separate but parallel lawsuit, or Central Delta II, was also filed by the Central Delta Petitioners in Kern County Superior Court on July 2, 2010, against KCWA, also naming the Company and TCWD as real parties in interest. Central Delta II challenged the validity of the transfer of the KWB property from the KCWA to the Kern Water Bank Authority, or KWBA. The petitioners in this case alleged that (i) the transfer of the KWB property by KCWA to the KWBA was an unconstitutional gift of public funds, and (ii) the consideration for the transfer of the KWB property to the KWBA was unconscionable and illusory. This case has been stayed pending the outcome of the Central Delta Action.
In addition, another lawsuit was filed in Kern County Superior Court on June 3, 2010, by two districts adjacent to the KWB, namely Rosedale Rio Bravo and Buena Vista Water Storage Districts (collectively, the Rosedale Petitioners), asserting that the 2010 EIR did not adequately evaluate potential impacts arising from operations of the KWB, or Rosedale Action, but this lawsuit did not name the Company: it only named TCWD. TCWD has a contract right for water stored in the KWB and rights to recharge and withdraw water. This lawsuit was later moved to the Sacramento County Superior Court.
In the Central Delta Action and Rosedale Action, the trial courts concluded that the 2010 EIR for the Monterey Amendments was insufficient with regard to the EIR's evaluation of the potential impacts of the operation of the KWB, particularly on groundwater and water quality, and ruled that DWR was required to prepare a remedial EIR (which is further described below). In the Central Delta Action, the trial court also concluded that the challenges to DWR’s 1995 approval of the Monterey Amendments were barred by statutes of limitations and laches. The Central Delta Petitioners appealed the Sacramento County Superior Court Judgment, and certain real parties filed a cross-appeal. No party appealed the Kern County Superior Court Judgment in the Rosedale Action.
On November 24, 2014, the Sacramento County Superior Court in the Central Delta Action issued a writ of mandate, or 2014 Writ, that required DWR to prepare a revised EIR (described herein as the 2016 EIR because it was certified in 2016) regarding the Monterey Amendments evaluating the potential operational impacts of the KWB. The 2014 Writ, as revised by the court, required DWR to certify the 2016 EIR and file the response to the 2014 Writ by September 28, 2016. On September 20, 2016, the Director of DWR (a) certified the 2016 EIR prepared by DWR as in compliance with CEQA, (b) adopted findings, a statement of overriding considerations, and a mitigation, monitoring and reporting program as required by CEQA, (c) made a new finding pertaining to carrying out the Monterey Amendments through continued use and operation of the KWB by the KWBA, and (d) caused a notice of determination to be filed with the Office of Planning and Resources of the State of California on September 22, 2016. On September 28, 2016, DWR filed with the Sacramento County Superior Court its return to the 2014 Writ in the Central Delta Action.

On October 21, 2016, the Central Delta Petitioners and a new party, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) (collectively, the CFS Petitioners), filed a new lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court, (the CFS Action), against DWR and naming a number of real parties in interest, including KWBA and TCWD (but not including the Company). The CFS Action challenges DWR’s (i) certification of the 2016 EIR, (ii) compliance with the 2014 Writ and CEQA, and (iii) finding concerning the continued use and operation of the KWB by KWBA. On October 2, 2017, the Sacramento County Superior Court issued a ruling that the court shall deny the CFS petition and shall discharge the 2014 Writ. The CFS Petitioners appealed the Sacramento County Superior Court judgment denying the CFS petition. The Third Appellate District of the Court of Appeal granted DWR’s motion to consolidate the CFS Action appeal for hearing with the pending appeals in the Central Delta Action. Briefing on all of the appeals and cross-appeals is now complete. On July 19, 2021, the cases were argued and taken under submission by the Court of Appeal. The parties are waiting for the Court to issue its opinions. To the extent there may be an adverse outcome of the claims still pending as described above, the monetary value cannot be estimated at this time.

Grapevine
On December 6, 2016, the Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously granted entitlement approval for the Grapevine project. On January 5, 2017, the CBD and CFS, filed an action in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA against Kern County and the Kern County Board of Supervisors, or collectively, the County, concerning the County’s granting of the 2016 approvals for the Grapevine project, including certification of the final EIR (the 2017 Action). The Company was named as a real party in interest in the 2017 Action. The 2017 Action alleged that the County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA, including failure to identify, analyze and mitigate impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, traffic, water supply and hydrology, growth inducing impacts, failure to adequately consider project alternatives and to provide support for the County’s findings and statement of overriding considerations in adopting the EIR and failure to adequately describe the environmental setting and project description. Petitioners sought to invalidate the County’s approval of the project and the environmental approvals and require the Company and the County to revise the environmental documentation.
On July 27, 2018, the court held a hearing on the petitioners’ claims in the 2017 Action. At that hearing, the court rejected all of petitioners’ claims raised in the litigation, except petitioners’ claims that (i) the project description was inadequate and (ii) such inadequacy resulted in aspects of certain environmental impacts being improperly analyzed. As to the claims described in “(i)” and “(ii)” in the foregoing sentence, the court determined that the EIR was inadequate. In that regard, the court determined the Grapevine project description contained in the EIR allowed development to occur in the time and manner determined by the real parties in interest and, as a consequence, such development flexibility could result in the project’s internal capture rate, or ICR, of the percent of vehicle trips remaining within the project actually being lower than the projected ICR levels used in the EIR and that lower ICR levels warranted supplemental traffic, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, public health and growth inducing impact analyses.
On December 11, 2018, the court in the 2017 Action ruled that portions of the EIR required corrections and supplemental environmental analysis and ordered that the County rescind the Grapevine project approvals until such supplemental environmental analysis was completed. The court issued a final judgment consistent with its ruling on February 15, 2019 and, on March 12, 2019, the County rescinded the Grapevine project approvals.
Following the County’s rescission of the Grapevine project approvals, the Company filed new applications to re-entitle the Grapevine project (the re-entitlement). The re-entitlement application involved processing project approvals that were substantively similar to the Grapevine project that was unanimously approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors in December 2016. As part of the re-entitlement, supplemental environmental analysis was prepared to address the court’s ruling in the 2017 Action. Following a public comment and review period, the Kern County Planning Commission held a hearing on November 14, 2019 and unanimously recommended to the Kern County Board of Supervisors that it approve the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. On December 10, 2019, the Kern County Board of Supervisors held a hearing and after considering the supplemental environmental analysis and material presented at the hearing unanimously voted to approve the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project. On January 9, 2020, the County filed a Supplemental and Final Return to Preemptory Writ of Mandate to inform the court of the re-entitlement in a manner that the County and the Company believed was compliant with the court’s February 15, 2019 final judgment in the 2017 Action. Concurrently, the County and the Company filed a Motion for Order Discharging Writ of Mandate, which requested that the court determine that the re-entitlement complied with the court’s February 15, 2019 final judgment in the 2017 Action (the Motion for Order to Discharge 2017 Writ of Mandate). A hearing was held on February 14, 2020 for this motion and is further summarized below.
On January 10, 2020, CBD filed a new and separate action in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA against the County, concerning the County’s approval of the December 2019 re-entitlement, including certification of the final EIR (the 2020 Action). The Company was named as real party in interest in the 2020 Action. The 2020 Action alleged that the County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA with respect to the re-entitlement of the Grapevine project, including failure to identify, analyze and mitigate impacts to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, biological resources, public health, and traffic, and failed to provide support for the County’s findings and statement of overriding considerations in adopting the EIR. CBD sought to invalidate the County’s approval of the re-entitlement, the environmental approvals for the re-entitlement and require the Company and the County to revise the environmental documentation. On January 22, 2020, the Company and County filed a demurrer and motion to strike the claims in the 2020 Action on the basis that the claims brought by CBD were resolved by the court in the 2017 Action, pursuant to the final judgment issued in the 2017 Action. The Company and County’s motion described in the previous sentence also included an alternative request that the court consolidate CBD’s claims in the 2020 Action with its disposition of any remaining matters relating to the 2017 Action. A hearing on these motions filed in the 2020 Action and on the Motion for Order Discharging Writ of Mandate (described above and relating to the 2017 Action) was held on February 14, 2020. At the hearing, the court granted the Company and County’s request to consolidate the 2020 Action with its adjudication of the Company and County’s compliance with the writ of mandate issued by the Court in the 2017 Action. The court denied, without prejudice, the Company and County’s motion to discharge the writ in the 2017 Action and their demurrer and motion to strike the claims in the 2020 Action, but the court further ruled that the Company and County could re-assert these arguments later once additional evidence was before the court.
22


On January 22, 2021, the court conducted a hearing on the 2020 Action and the Motion for Order to Discharge the 2017 Writ of Mandate. At the January 22nd hearing, the court ruled in favor of the Company and the County on all issues: (1) granting the County’s Motion for Order to Discharge the 2017 Writ of Mandate and (2) rejecting each and every claim made by CBD in the 2020 Action. The court entered a final judgment reflecting its ruling in favor of the Company and the County on March 22, 2021. As CBD did not file an appeal by the court deadline, the judgement is final.
Centennial
On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action), pursuant to CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law, against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final environmental impact report and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, CBD and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and Centennial Founders, LLC are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.

The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and have been consolidated for adjudication before the judge presiding over the Climate Resolve Action. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The court held three consolidated hearings for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, November 13, 2020, and January 8, 2021. On April 5, 2021 the court issued its decision denying the petition for writ of mandate by CBD/CNPS and granting the petition for writ of mandate filed by Climate Resolve. In granting Climate Resolve’s petition, the court found three specific areas where the EIR for the project was lacking. The court ruled that California’s Cap-and-Trade Program cannot be used as a compliance pathway for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts for the project and therefore further ruled that additional analysis will be required related to all feasible mitigation of GHG impacts. The court also found that the EIR must provide additional analysis and explanation of how wildland fire risk on lands outside of the project site, posed by on-site ignition sources, is mitigated to less than significant. On April 19, 2021 CBD filed a motion for reconsideration with the court on the denial of their petition for writ of mandate. The hearing on this motion originally scheduled for August 13, 2021, has tentatively been rescheduled to December 1, 2021. As of the date of this report, final judgment has not yet been issued by the court for either the CBD/CNPS or Climate Resolve actions. Once final judgments are entered, appellate litigation may follow. To the extent there may be an adverse outcome of the claims still pending as described above, the monetary value cannot be estimated at this time.
Conservancy
On December 2, 2020, conservation groups filed an action against the Company in Kern County Superior Court, alleging that the Company breached its obligation under the Tejon Ranch Conservation and Land Use Agreement (or the “RWA”) by not making a payment for Q4 2020 to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy (or the “Conservancy”) – a non-profit organization created under the RWA to oversee conservation of portions of Tejon Ranch.
Pursuant to the terms of the RWA, the Company deposited the Q4 2020 payment to the Conservancy into a third-party escrow account pending a determination of the Company’s disputes with the Conservancy. The Company also deposited the payment for Q1 2021, Q2 2021, and Q3 2021 into escrow. On January 25, 2021, in response to an objection to the complaint by the Company, a First Amended Complaint was filed adding the Tejon Ranch Conservancy as a party to the action. Discovery and pre-trial motions are currently ongoing. A trial date has been set for December 5, 2022 with a mandatory settlement conference scheduled for November 4, 2022.
As of the date of this report, the Company believes it has performed all its obligations under the RWA and has withheld the escrowed payments based on its belief that the Conservancy and other signatories to the RWA have violated its terms. The Company has been vigorously defending the action and does not believe that the resolution of the action will result in a liability to the Company beyond the costs associated with defending the action and the Company’s escrow deposits which are included in the Company’s annual budgets and a possibility that the Company be required to pay plaintiffs' cost of suit.
Proceedings Incidental to Business
From time to time, the Company is involved in other proceedings incidental to its business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.
23


The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.
13.    RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future. The Company funds the plan in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In April 2017, the Company froze the Benefit Plan as it relates to future benefit accruals for participants. The Company expects to contribute $165,000 to the Benefit Plan in 2021.
Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At June 30, 2021, the investment mix was approximately 35% equity, 64% debt, and 1% money market funds. At December 31, 2020, the investment mix was approximately 65% equity, 34% debt, and 1% money market funds. Equity investments comprise of value, growth, large cap, small cap and international stock funds. Debt investments consist of U.S. Treasury securities and investment grade corporate debt. A weighted average discount rate of 2.5% was used in determining the net periodic pension cost for fiscal 2021 and 2020. The assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 7.3% for both fiscal 2021 and 2020. The long-term rate of return on Benefit Plan assets is based on the historical returns within the plan and expectations for future returns.
Total pension and retirement earnings for the Benefit Plan was as follows:

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, to restore to executives designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors the full benefits under the pension plan that would otherwise be restricted by certain limitations now imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. The SERP is currently unfunded. In April 2017, the Company froze the SERP as it relates to the accrual of additional benefits.
The pension and retirement expense for the SERP was as follows:

15.    INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2021 was $39,288,000. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures was $1,306,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of June 30, 2021, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:
Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC, or Petro, is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America that develops and manages travel plazas, gas stations, convenience stores, and fast-food restaurants throughout TRCC. The Company has 50% of the voting rights but participates in 60% of all profits and losses. The Company does not control the investment due to having only 50% of the voting rights. The Company's partner is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision-making authority over key business components such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facilities. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $25,026,000 as of June 30, 2021.
On April 17, 2020, the Company sold land and a building formerly leased to a tenant operating a fast food restaurant, to Petro. The Company received cash proceeds of $2,000,000 from Petro, and realized a gain of $1,331,000 under ASC 610-20, "Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets."

Majestic Realty Co. – Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, is a privately-held developer and owner of master planned business parks throughout the United States. The Company has formed four 50/50 joint ventures with Majestic to acquire, develop, manage, and operate industrial real estate at TRCC. The partners have equal voting rights and equally share in the profit and loss of the joint ventures. The Company and Majestic guarantee the performance of all outstanding debt.
On March 25, 2021, TRC-MRC4 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. Grading on the site has begun, with construction of the building scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2021. The building is expected to be completed in 2022. The construction will be financed by a $47,500,000 construction loan that had an outstanding balance of $968,000 as of June 30, 2021. The construction loan is individually and collectively guaranteed by the Company and Majestic. In June 2021, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $8,464,000 to TRC-MRC 4, LLC. The total cost of the land was $2,895,000. The Company recognized profit of $2,785,000 and deferred profit of $2,785,000 after applying the five-step revenue recognition model in accordance with ASC Topic 606 — Revenue From Contracts With Customers and ASC Topic 323, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures.
In November 2018, TRC-MRC 3, LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 579,040 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. TRC-MRC 3, LLC qualified as a VIE from inception, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary; therefore, it does not consolidate TRC-MRC 3, LLC in its financial statements. The construction of the building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2019, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space to two tenants. In March 2019, the joint venture entered into a promissory note with a financial institution to finance the construction of the building. The note matures on May 1, 2030 and had an outstanding principal balance of $35,725,000 as of June 30, 2021. On April 1, 2019, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $5,854,000 to TRC-MRC 3, LLC in accordance with the limited liability agreement. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $1,289,000 as of June 30, 2021.
In August 2016, the Company partnered with Majestic to form TRC-MRC 2, LLC to acquire, lease, and maintain a fully occupied warehouse at TRCC-West. The partnership acquired the 651,909 square foot building for $24,773,000, which was largely financed through a promissory note guaranteed by both partners. The promissory note was refinanced on June 1, 2018 with a $25,240,000 promissory note. The note matures on July 1, 2028 and has an outstanding principal balance of $23,566,000 as of June 30, 2021. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,781,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company would reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income.
In September 2016, TRC-MRC 1, LLC was formed to develop and operate an approximately 480,480 square foot industrial building at TRCC-East that is 100% leased. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,353,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company will reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in December 2018 with a mortgage loan. The original balance of the mortgage loan was $25,030,000, of which $23,696,000 was outstanding as of June 30, 2021.
Rockefeller Joint Ventures – The Company has two active joint ventures with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, or Rockefeller. At June 30, 2021, the Company’s combined equity investment balance in these two joint ventures was $8,294,000.
18-19 West LLC was formed in August 2009 through the contribution of 61.5 acres of land by the Company that is being held for future development. The Company owns a 50% interest in this joint venture, and the joint venture is being accounted for under the equity method due to both members having significant participating rights in the management of the venture.
The 18-19 West LLC joint venture has a purchase option in place with a third-party to purchase lots 18 and 19 at a price of $15,213,000 that expires in the fourth quarter of 2021.
27


TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC was formed during 2013 to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member. The managing member's responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing, and selection of the contractor for any construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. As a result, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. The TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture has a term note with a financial institution that matures on September 5, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding balance of the term note was $33,963,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.
Centennial Founders, LLC – Centennial Founders, LLC, CFL, is a joint venture that was initially formed with TRI Pointe Homes, Lewis Investment Company, and CalAtlantic to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. Based on the Second Amended and Restated Limited Company Agreement of CFL and the change in control and funding that resulted from the amended agreement, CFL qualified as a VIE beginning in 2009, and the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary. As a result, CFL is consolidated into the Company's financial statements. In 2016 and 2018, Lewis Investment Company and CalAtlantic left the joint venture. The Company's remaining partner, TRI Pointe Homes, retained a noncontrolling interest in the joint venture. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned 92.90% of CFL.
The Company’s investment balance in its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its respective capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The difference represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon fair value of the assets contributed.
Unaudited condensed statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and condensed balance sheet information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

OVERVIEW
We are a diversified real estate development and agribusiness company committed to responsibly using our land and resources to meet the housing, employment, and lifestyle needs of Californians and to create value for our shareholders. In support of these objectives, we have been investing in land planning and entitlement activities for new industrial and residential land developments and in infrastructure improvements within our active industrial development. Our prime asset is approximately 270,000 acres of contiguous, largely undeveloped land that, at its most southerly border, is 60 miles north of Los Angeles and, at its most northerly border, is 15 miles east of Bakersfield.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objective is to maximize long-term shareholder value through the monetization of our land-based assets. A key element of our strategy is to entitle and then develop large-scale mixed-use master planned residential and commercial/industrial real estate development projects to serve the growing populations of Southern and Central California. Our mixed-use master planned residential developments have been approved to collectively include up to 35,278 housing units, and more than 35 million square feet of commercial space. We have obtained entitlements on Mountain Village at Tejon Ranch, or MV, and have submitted the final tract maps to Kern County. Over the next few years, it is possible that we will be engaged in continuous litigation defending the entitlements of our master planned developments.
We are currently engaged in construction, commercial sales and leasing at our fully operational commercial/industrial center, the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC. All these efforts are supported by diverse revenue streams generated from other operations, including commercial/industrial real estate, farming, mineral resources, ranch operations, and our various joint ventures.
Our Business
We currently operate in five reporting segments: commercial/industrial real estate development; resort/residential real estate development; mineral resources; farming; and ranch operations.
Activities within the commercial/industrial real estate development segment include planning and permitting of land for development; construction of infrastructure; construction of pre-leased buildings; construction of buildings to be leased or sold; and the sale of land to third parties for their own development. The commercial/industrial real estate development segment also includes activities related to communications leases and landscape maintenance fees.
30


At the heart of the commercial/industrial real estate development segment is TRCC, a 20 million square foot commercial/industrial development on Interstate 5 just north of the Los Angeles basin. Six million square feet of industrial, commercial and retail space has already been developed, including distribution centers for IKEA, Caterpillar, Famous Footwear, L'Oreal, Camping World, and Dollar General. TRCC sits on both sides of Interstate 5, giving distributors immediate access to the west coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor.
On January 5, 2021, the Kern County Board of Supervisors approved two Conditional Use Permits (CUP) which will authorize development of multi-family apartment uses within TRCC. The approved CUPs authorize the Company to develop up to a maximum of 495 multi-family residences, in thirteen apartment buildings, as well as approximately 6,500 square feet of community amenity space and 8,000 square feet of community retail on the ground floor of a portion of the residential buildings. The development would be located on an approximately 23-acre site located immediately north of the Outlets at Tejon. During the remainder of 2021, the Company expects to devote appropriate resources to advance this new project at TRCC, providing the much-needed housing for the thousands of employees currently working at the various distribution centers, retailers, and fast-food restaurants at TRCC.
We are also involved in multiple joint ventures within TRCC with several partners that help us expand our commercial/industrial business activities:
A joint venture with Petro that owns and operates two travel and truck stop facilities, comprised of five separate gas stations with convenience stores and fast-food restaurants within TRCC-West and TRCC-East.
Two joint ventures with Rockefeller Development Group, or Rockefeller:
18-19 West LLC owns 63.5 acres of land for future development within TRCC-West. In 2019, our 18-19 West LLC joint venture entered into a land purchase option with the same third-party who purchased the Five West building and land, to purchase lots 18 and 19 at a price of $13,800,000 through the option period ending May 21, 2021. The option was extended at expiration for an additional six months to November 21, 2021 at a price of $15,200,000.; and
TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC operates the Outlets at Tejon, a net leasable 326,000 square foot shopping experience in TRCC-East;
Four joint ventures with Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, to develop, manage, and operate industrial buildings within TRCC:
TRC-MRC 1, LLC operates a 480,480 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East, which was completed during 2017 and is fully leased;
TRC-MRC 2, LLC owns and operates a 651,909 square foot building in TRCC-West that is fully leased;
TRC-MRC 3, LLC operates a 579,040 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2019 and was fully leased through June 30, 2021. In July 2021, 190,000 square feet of space was vacated; and
TRC-MRC 4, LLC was formed in 2021 to pursue the development, construction, leasing and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East. Grading on the site has begun, with construction of the building expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2021. The building is expected to be completed in 2022.
The resort/residential real estate development segment is actively involved in the land entitlement and development process internally and through a joint venture. Our active developments within this segment are MV, Centennial at Tejon Ranch, or Centennial, and Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or Grapevine.
MV encompasses a total of 26,417 acres, of which 5,082 acres will be used for a mixed-use development that will include housing, retail, and commercial components. MV is entitled for 3,450 homes, 160,000 square feet of commercial development, 750 hotel keys, and more than 21,335 acres of open space. The tentative tract map for the first four phases of residential development has been approved, as well as the commercial site plan for the first phase of commercial development. The Company is currently focusing on the completion of the final map for first phases of MV, consumer and market research studies and fine tuning of development business plans as well as defining the capital funding sources for this development;
The Centennial development is a mixed-use master planned community development encompassing 12,323 acres of our land within Los Angeles County. Upon completion of Centennial, it is estimated that the community will include approximately 19,333 homes and 10.1 million square feet of commercial development. Centennial had entitlements approved in December 2018 and received legislative approvals in April 2019 from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to current litigation; and
31


Grapevine is an 8,010-acre development area located on the San Joaquin Valley floor area of our lands, adjacent to TRCC. Upon completion of Grapevine, the community will include 12,000 homes, 5.1 million square feet for commercial development, and more than 3,367 acres of open space and parks. On December 10, 2019, the Kern County Board of Supervisors adopted the supplemental re-circulated environmental impact report, or EIR, prepared in response to a court ruling and re-approved the development of Grapevine unanimously. On January 10, 2020, an action was filed in Kern County Superior Court pursuant to CEQA against Kern County, concerning Kern County’s approval of the December 2019 re-entitlement, including certification of the final EIR. On January 22, 2021 the court ruled in favor of the Company and Kern County on all issues. The court entered a final judgment reflecting its ruling in favor of the Company and the County on March 22, 2021. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for a more detailed description of our active developments within the resort/residential real estate development segment.
Our mineral resources segment generates revenues from oil and gas royalty leases, rock and aggregate mining leases, a lease with National Cement Company of California Inc., and water sales.
The farming segment produces revenues from the sale of wine grapes, almonds, and pistachios.
Lastly, the ranch operations segment consists of game management revenues and ancillary land uses such as grazing leases and filming.
The COVID-19 Pandemic
Beginning mid-June, the Company's retail and hospitality segments fully reopened and operated without any restrictions. TRCC has seen an uptick in traffic as evidenced by a 25% increase in fuel sales volumes at the Petro Travel Plaza joint venture when compared to the same prior year period. The Company's other segments continue to operate without restrictions as they are and continue to be deemed essential. During this phase of the recovery, the Company will continue to prioritize employee health and provide work safety guidelines prescribed by Cal/OSHA.
Uncertainty still remains over long-term vaccine efficacy, global vaccine adoption and availability, and the possibility of reinstating pandemic restrictions arising from future mutations such the Delta variant. The long-term impact of such uncertainties on our business are currently unknown and may vary in scope and severity from the impacts to-date.
The actions taken by governments, other businesses, and individuals in response to the pandemic did have and will continue to have an impact our results of operations and overall financial performance. In 2020, we evaluated our operations for expense reductions and cash savings by renegotiating contracts and pricing with a significant portion of our vendors, and rightsizing our labor needs. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our needs for expense reduction throughout 2021.
Summary of Second Quarter 2021 Performance
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net income attributable to common stockholders of $2,822,000 compared to a net loss of $333,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The improvement is primarily attributed to a land sale to TRC-MRC 4 in June 2021 that increased commercial operating profits for the quarter by $3,047,000 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Also contributing to this increase were improved mineral resources operating profits of $2,089,000 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, which is the result of an increase in water sales in 2021 due to the 5% State Water Project, or SWP, allocation. The improved operating results were offset by the non-recurrence of a building sale that occurred in 2020 that resulted in a $1,333,000 gain, along with increased income taxes of $922,000 reflecting the overall improved operating results.
For the first six months of 2021, the Company had net income attributable to common stockholders of $1,767,000 compared to a net loss of $1,015,000 for the first six months of 2020. The improvement is primarily attributed to the June 2021 land sale to TRC-MRC 4 that improved commercial operating profits by $3,334,000 when compared to the same period of last year. Also contributing to this increase were improved mineral resources operating profits of $1,918,000 as compared to 2020, which was the result of higher water sales in 2021 due to the 5% SWP allocation. The improved operating results were offset by the non-recurrence of a building sale that occurred in 2020 that resulted in a $1,333,000 gain. In addition, the Company's share of operating results from its unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $1,230,000, a result of significant increases in fuel costs for its Petro Travel Plaza Holdings joint venture.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides a narrative discussion of our results of operations. It contains the results of operations for each reporting segment of the business and is followed by a discussion of our financial position. It is useful to read the reporting segment information in conjunction with Note 14 (Reporting Segments and Related Information) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimates that are likely to occur from period to period, use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, or would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, allocation of costs related to land sales and leases, stock compensation, our future ability to utilize deferred tax assets, and defined benefit retirement plan. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our critical accounting policies have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies. Please also refer to Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for newly adopted accounting principles.
Results of Operations by Segment
We evaluate the performance of our reporting segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. Each reporting segment is subject to review and evaluation as we monitor current market conditions, market opportunities, and available resources. The performance of each reporting segment is discussed below:

Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $8,126,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $6,012,000, or 284%, from $2,114,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase is primarily attributed to $5,679,000 in land sale revenues associated with the June 2021 land contribution to TRC-MRC 4 as discussed in Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures). Hot June weather and lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions in mid-June that led to an increase in energy demand, and as a result, the Company received additional spark spread revenues from its Pastoria Energy Facility lease.
Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $4,712,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $2,965,000, or 170%, from $1,747,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is attributed to an increase in land cost of sales of $2,895,000 resulting from the land contribution to TRC-MRC 4 discussed above.

The increase is primarily attributed to $5,679,000 in land sale revenues associated with the June 2021 land contribution to TRC-MRC 4 as discussed in Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures). As described above the Company also received higher spark spread revenues from its Pastoria Energy Facility lease.
Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $6,264,000 during the first six months of 2021, an increase of $2,586,000, or 70%, from $3,678,000 during the first six months of 2020. This increase is attributed to an increase in land cost of sales of $2,895,000 resulting from the land contribution to TRC-MRC 4 discussed above.

The logistics operators currently located within TRCC have demonstrated success in serving all of California and the western region of the United States, and the Company showcases their success in its marketing efforts. We expect to continue to focus our marketing strategy for TRCC-East and TRCC-West on the significant labor and logistical benefits of our site, the pro-business approach of Kern County, and the demonstrated success of the current tenants and owners within our development. Our location fits within the logistics model that many companies are using, which favors large, centralized distribution facilities which have been strategically located to maximize the balance of inbound and outbound efficiencies, rather than many decentralized smaller distribution centers. The world-class logistics operators located within TRCC have demonstrated success through utilization of this model. With access to markets of over 40 million people for next-day delivery service, they are also demonstrating success with e-commerce fulfillment.
Our Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designation allows businesses to secure the many benefits and cost reductions associated with streamlined movement of goods in and out of the zone. This FTZ designation is further supplemented by the Economic Development Incentive Policy, or EDIP, adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. EDIP is aimed to expand and enhance the County's competitiveness by taking affirmative steps to attract new businesses and to encourage the growth and resilience of existing businesses. EDIP provides incentives such as assistance in obtaining tax incentives, building supporting infrastructure, and workforce development. 
We believe that the FTZ and EDIP, along with our ability to provide fully entitled, shovel-ready land parcels to support buildings of any size, including buildings one million square feet or larger, can provide us with a potential marketing advantage. Our marketing efforts target the Inland Empire region of Southern California, the Santa Clarita Valley of northern Los Angeles County, the northern part of the San Fernando Valley - due to the limited availability of new product and high real estate costs in these locations, and the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Company continues to analyze the market and evaluate expansions of industrial buildings for lease either on our own or in partnerships, as we have done with the buildings developed by TRC-MRC 1 and TRC-MRC 3, and our new industrial building being constructed by the TRC-MRC 4 joint venture.
A potential disadvantage to our development strategy is our distance from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in comparison to the warehouse/distribution centers located in the Inland Empire, a large industrial area located east of Los Angeles, which continues its expansion eastward beyond Riverside and San Bernardino, to include Perris, Moreno Valley, and Beaumont. As development in the Inland Empire continues to move east and farther away from the ports, the potential disadvantage of our distance from the ports is being mitigated. Strong demand for large distribution facilities is driving development farther east in a search for large, entitled parcels.
34


During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, vacancy rates in the Inland Empire continued to stay at a historical low of 1.2%, leading to an increase in lease rate of 13%, both setting new records. Demand for Inland Empire logistics space continues to be strong, as net absorption reached 6.8 million square feet. As lease rates increase in the Inland Empire, we may experience greater pricing advantages due to our lower land basis.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, vacancy rates in the northern Los Angeles industrial market, which includes the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita Valley, decreased from 1.8% as of March 31, 2021 to 1.2%. Rents remain at an all-time high. Average asking rents increased by 7% over the prior quarter.
We expect our commercial/industrial real estate development segment to continue to experience costs, net of amounts capitalized, primarily related to professional service fees, marketing costs, commissions, planning costs, and staffing costs as we continue to pursue development opportunities. These costs are expected to remain consistent with current levels of expense with any variability in future costs tied to specific absorption transactions in any given year.
The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue to increase over several years as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future land sales are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development of commercial and industrial properties.
In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, California took actions to limit exposure to the virus through restrictions on non-essential businesses and services. Tenants began requesting various forms of rent relief beginning in March 2020 and throughout the rest of 2020. Although the requests ranged in scope, the most common request was for a full or partial rent deferment for three months. The Company agreed to defer rent for certain tenants at TRCC, with the requirement that all the deferred rent be fully repaid during 2021. The following table sets forth information regarding the cumulative minimum deferred rent and collected rent as of June 30, 2021.

Real Estate – Resort/Residential:
We are in the preliminary stages of property development for this segment; hence, no revenues or profits are attributed to this segment.
Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $439,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $113,000, or 35%, from $326,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company moved its internal marketing group into the resort residential segment in 2021, driving the increase noted.
Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $992,000 for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $40,000, or 4%, from $952,000 for the first six months of 2020. The movement of the internal marketing group, previously mentioned, increased payroll costs and overhead by $97,000 for the segment in 2021. The increase was offset by reductions in general and administrative allocations of about $63,000.
Our long-term business plan of developing the communities of MV, Centennial, and Grapevine remains unchanged. As home buyer trends change in California to a more suburban orientation and the economy stabilizes, we believe the perception of land values will continue to improve. Long-term macro fundamentals, primarily California's population growth and household formation will also support housing demand in our region. California also has a significant documented housing shortage, which we believe our communities will help ease as the population base within California continues to grow. Most of the expenditures and capital investment to be incurred within our resort/residential real estate segment will continue to focus on the following:
Centennial – the approved Centennial specific plan includes 19,333 residential units and more than 10.1 million square feet of commercial space. The Company is working with the County of Los Angeles to address litigation filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Grapevine – an 8,010-acre development area located on the San Joaquin Valley floor area of our lands, adjacent to TRCC. Upon completion of Grapevine, the community will include 12,000 homes, 5.1 million square feet for
35


commercial development, and more than 3,367 acres of open space and parks. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
MV – a fully entitled project has received approvals of Tentative Tract Map 1 for the first four phases of development and approval of the commercial site plan for the first phase of commercial development. The timing of the MV development in the coming years will depend on the strength of both the economy and the real estate market, including both primary and second home markets. In moving the project forward, we will focus on the completion of the final map for the first phases of MV, consumer and market research studies, fine tuning of development business plans.
Over the next several years, we expect to explore funding opportunities for the future development of our projects. Such funding opportunities could come from a variety of sources, such as joint ventures with financial partners, debt financing, or the Company’s issuance of additional common stock.

Mineral resources segment revenues were $7,404,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $5,628,000, or 317%, from $1,776,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The dry 2021 winter diminished water availability in California and eventually resulted in a SWP allocation of 5%. As a result, the Company generated $5,260,000 in additional water sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, by selling 4,715 acre-feet of water. Revenues generated in 2020 pertained to a favorable water sales price adjustment. Additionally, the Company generated more cement and rock royalties in 2021 as a result of increased demand fueled by the continuing growth in infrastructure projects throughout the state.
Mineral resources segment expenses were $4,253,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $3,539,000, or 496%, from $714,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase in expenses is primarily attributed to an increase in water cost of sales resulting from the increased water sales volumes as noted above.

Mineral resources segment revenues were $14,580,000 for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $6,626,000, or 83%, from $7,954,000 for the first six months of 2020. The 2021 dry winter brought about favorable conditions to sell water, resulting in a significant increase in water sales. Comparatively, the Company sold 10,596 acre-feet and 4,625 acre-feet of water as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company in 2021 has also generated additional cement and rock royalties resulting from increased demand for building supplies.
Mineral resources segment expenses were $9,300,000 for the first six months of 2021, an increase of $4,708,000, or 103%, when compared to the same period in 2020. This increase in expense is primarily attributed to higher water cost of sales of $4,654,000 resulting from the increase in water sales as noted above.
As anticipated changes arise in the future related to groundwater management in California, such as limits on groundwater pumping in over drafted water basins outside of our lands, we believe that our water assets, including water banking operations, ground water recharge programs, and access to water contracts like those we have purchased in the past, will become even more important and valuable in servicing our projects and providing opportunities for water sales to third parties. With 2020 and 2021 being drought years, local water market participants have fewer alternative water sources, especially given the current 5% SWP allocation. As such, there is potential for additional water sales during the remainder of 2021.
The price per barrel of oil has increased over 45% from its December 31, 2020 levels. California Resources Corporation, or CRC, has approved permits and drill sites on our land and continues to delay the start of new exploration as it evaluates the market. A positive aspect of our lease with CRC is that the approved drill sites are in an area of the ranch where the development and production costs are moderate due to the relatively shallow depths being drilled.

Farming segment revenues were $886,000 for the first six months of 2021, a decrease of $275,000, or 24%, from $1,161,000 during the same period in 2020. Almond revenues declined $464,000 as a result of lower sales volumes and lower commodity prices resulting from the large 2020 crop. Comparatively, the Company sold 205,000 pounds and 299,000 pounds of almonds as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Lastly, the Company generated an additional $174,000 in other revenues as a result of increased water use charges from land lease tenants. The increase in these charges reflect the increase in water costs resulting from the 2021 drought.
Farming segment expenses were $2,681,000 for the first six months of 2021, a decrease of $120,000, or 4%, from $2,801,000 when compared to the same period in 2020. The decline is primarily attributed to lower depreciation and amortization on the Company's farm equipment.
Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are highly seasonal with most of our sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters. Nut and grape crop markets are particularly sensitive to the size of each year’s world crop and the demand for those crops. As witnessed in 2020, large crop yields in California and abroad can rapidly depress prices. Tariffs from China and India, which are major customers of almonds and pistachios, can make American products less competitive and push customers to switch to another producing country.
Weather conditions can also impact the number of tree and vine dormant hours, which are integral to tree and vine growth. We experienced a warm 2021 winter, which reduces the number of chilling hours for our pistachio and almond trees. In the past, this has had a very adverse effect on pistachio yields. Currently, California almond yields are expected to be lower than their 2020 levels. The current SWP allocation of 5%, Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water District's other water resources, and our water resources allow us to meet our farming water needs. The use of alternate sources of water will increase overall 2021 crop production costs.
Currently there is an abundance of financial stimulus, a direct result of the Federal Government's efforts to help those impacted by COVID-19. As such, the Company has experienced a moderate degree of difficulty in attracting and retaining farm workers and may incur additional internal and external farm labor costs as it enters harvest season.
Lastly, the impact of state ground water management laws on new plantings and continuing crop production remains unknown. Water delivery and water availability continues to be a long-term concern within California. Any limitation of delivery of SWP water and the absence of available alternatives during drought periods could potentially cause permanent damage to orchards and vineyards throughout California. While this could impact us, we believe we have sufficient water resources available to meet our requirements for the remainder of 2021 and into the future.

The decrease is primarily attributed to reduced payroll and stock compensation, net of capitalization, of $265,000, which resulted from the 2020 right sizing initiative. This decrease was partially offset by a $90,000 increase in insurance expense.
Corporate general and administrative costs were $4,655,000 for the first six months of 2021, a decrease of $372,000, or 7%, from $5,027,000 for the same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily attributed to reduced payroll and stock compensation, net of capitalization, of $555,000, which resulted from the 2020 right sizing initiative and the absence of an in-house counsel during the first quarter. This decrease was partially offset by a $150,000 increase in insurance expense.
On April 17, 2020, the Company sold the building and land that was previously operated by a fast food tenant to its joint venture, Petro Travel Plaza, LLC. The Company received a cash distribution of $2,000,000 from the joint venture, and realized a Gain on Sale of Real Estate of $1,331,000. There were no such transactions in 2021.

General Outlook
The operations of the Company are seasonal and future results of operations cannot reliably be predicted based on quarterly results. Historically, the Company's largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Real estate activity and leasing activities are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities and therefore are difficult to predict from period to period.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global economic disruptions have impacted our operations and are expected to continue to impact our operations throughout 2021. For a detailed discussion of the pandemic and its expected effects, refer to the section above titled "The COVID-19 Pandemic" and "Results of Operations by Segment."
For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could potentially adversely affect us, please refer to Part I, Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, or Annual Report, and to Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report. We continue to be involved in various legal proceedings related to leased acreage. For a further discussion, please refer to Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net income tax expense of $1,139,000 compared to $708,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rates approximated 39% and -234% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, income tax receivables were $43,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses. The Company's effective tax rates were higher than statutory rates primarily because permanent differences related to Section 162(m) limitations and discrete tax expense associated with stock compensation. The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred due to changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts Jobs Act. The discrete item was triggered when stock grants were issued to participants at a price less than the original grant price, causing a deferred tax shortfall. The shortfall recognized during the quarter represents the reversal of excess deferred tax assets recognized in prior periods. The recognition of the shortfall is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company's current income tax payable.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Our financial position allows us to pursue our strategies of land entitlement, development, and conservation. Accordingly, we have established well-defined priorities for our available cash, including investing in core operating segments to achieve profitable future growth. We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, investment proceeds, and short-term borrowings from our bank credit facilities. In the past, we have also issued common stock and used the proceeds for capital investment activities.
To enhance shareholder value over the long-term, we expect to continue to make investments in our real estate segments to secure land entitlement approvals, build infrastructure for our developments, provide adequate water supplies, and provide funds for general land development activities. Within our farming segment, we intend to make investments as needed to improve efficiency and add capacity to its operations when it is profitable to do so.
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $49,639,000 as of June 30, 2021, a decrease of $8,452,000 from $58,091,000 as of December 31, 2020.

Operating Activities
During the first six months of 2021, the Company's operations used $1,095,000 primarily to fund crop cultural costs.
During the first six months of 2020, the Company's operations provided $51,000. The primary drivers were receivable collections of $7,174,000 and joint venture operating distributions of $121,000, partially offset by cash outlays to build inventories of $4,228,000 and pay down of accounts payables and accrued liabilities of $2,951,000.
Investing Activities
During the first six months of 2021, investing activities used $9,846,000. The Company made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $11,414,000, which includes predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $2,235,000 consisting of planning and permitting primarily related to the preparation of final maps for Phase 1 of MV; expenditures relating to litigation of $618,000 for Grapevine, and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $1,184,000. At TRCC, we spent $2,136,000 on infrastructure improvements, qualifying costs related to land development and the residential community at TRCC-East. Within our farming segment, we spent $4,812,000 developing new almond orchards and grape vineyards, which includes cultural costs for 2021 for orchards not currently in production and replacing machinery and equipment. Lastly, the Company used $2,415,000 to acquire water assets and invested $7,842,000 into marketable securities. The cash outlays previously mentioned were offset by water sales proceeds of $5,874,000, joint venture distributions of $5,096,000 primarily attributed to the sale of land to TRC-MRC 4, and proceeds from matured marketable securities of $1,400,000.
During the first six months of 2020, investing activities used $852,000. The Company made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $11,192,000, which includes predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $2,120,000 consisting of planning and permitting primarily related to the preparation of final maps for Phase 1 of MV; expenditures relating to litigation of $1,288,000 for Grapevine, and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $1,678,000. At TRCC, we spent $3,131,000 on water treatment infrastructure improvements and general planning. Within our farming segment, we spent $2,853,000 developing new almond orchards and replacing machinery and equipment. Also within investing activities, we had investment security maturities of $17,424,000, of which $5,610,000 was reinvested. The Company also sold building and land in April 2020 that was previously operated by a fast food tenant to its joint venture, Petro Travel Plaza, LLC for $2,000,000. Lastly, the Company used $2,634,000 to acquire long-term water assets.
As we move forward, we anticipate we will continue to use cash from operations, proceeds from the maturity of securities, and anticipated distributions from joint ventures to fund real estate project investments, including the investments summarized below.
Our estimated capital investment, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, for the remainder of 2021 is primarily related to our real estate projects. These estimated investments include approximately $3,208,000 of infrastructure development at TRCC-East to support continued commercial retail and industrial development and to expand water facilities to support future anticipated absorption. We also plan to invest approximately $853,000 to continue the development of new almond orchards and vineyards, and to replace farm equipment. The farm investments are part of a long-term farm management program to redevelop declining orchards and vineyards to maintain and improve future farm revenues. Lastly, we expect to invest up to $5,516,000 for land planning, litigation/appeals, mapping, federal and state agency permitting activities, and development activities at MV, Centennial, and Grapevine during the remainder of 2021.
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $1,242,000 and $1,406,000, respectively, and is classified within real estate development. We also capitalized payroll costs related to development, pre-construction, and construction projects which aggregated $1,238,000 and $1,888,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Financing Activities
During the first six months of 2021, financing activities used $3,098,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $2,132,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $966,000.

During the first six months of 2020, financing activities used $4,330,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $2,746,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $1,584,000.
It is difficult to accurately predict cash flows due to the nature of our businesses and fluctuating economic conditions. Our earnings and cash flows will be affected from period to period by the commodity nature of our farming and mineral operations, the timing of sales and leases of property within our development projects, and the beginning of development within our residential projects. The timing of sales and leases within our development projects is difficult to predict due to the time necessary to complete the development process and negotiate sales or lease contracts. Often, the timing aspect of land development can lead to certain years or periods having different earnings than comparable periods. Although California's reopening has been strong thus far, there is uncertainty as to how state and local government agencies will react to the Delta variant along with other COVID-19 variants, as Los Angeles and other counties have re-implemented mask mandates. Based on the Company's experience, and assuming the impacts of COVID-19 and its variants do not materially worsen, the Company believes it will have adequate cash flows, cash balances, and availability on our line of credit (discussed below) over the next twelve months to fund internal operations. COVID-19 restrictions have not to-date impacted our ability to access traditional funding sources. As we move forward with the completion of our litigation, permitting and engineering design for our master planned communities and prepare to move into the development stage, we will need to secure additional funding through the issuance of equity and secure other forms of financing such as joint ventures and possibly debt financing.
We continuously evaluate our short-term and long-term capital investment needs. Based on the timing of capital investments, we may supplement our current cash, marketable securities, and operational funding sources through the sale of common stock and the incurrence of additional debt.

Capital Structure and Financial Condition
At June 30, 2021, total capitalization at book value was $504,703,000, consisting of $54,945,000 of debt and $449,758,000 of equity, resulting in a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio of approximately 10.9%.
On October 13, 2014, the Company, as borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a Term Note and a Revolving Line of Credit Note, with Wells Fargo, or collectively the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility added a $70,000,000 term loan, or Term Loan, to the then existing $30,000,000 revolving line of credit, or RLC. In August 2019, the Company amended the Term Note (Amended Term Note) and extended its maturity to June 2029 and amended the RLC to expand the capacity from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 and extend the maturity to October 5, 2024.
The Amended Term Note had a $52,875,000 balance as of June 30, 2021. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Amended Term Loan is LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Term Note) plus a margin of 170 basis points. The interest rate for the term of the Amended Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.16%. The Amended Term Note requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the Amended Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due June 5, 2029. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.
The RLC had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed rate term. During the term of this RLC (which matures in October 2024), the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.
Any future borrowings under the RLC are expected to be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the RLC, undrawn amounts under the RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties, which are typical in this type of borrowing arrangement.
The Amended Credit Facility requires compliance with three financial covenants: (a) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; (b) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (c) maintain liquid assets equal to or greater than $20,000,000. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with those financial covenants.
The Amended Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of TRC to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, or incur liens on any assets.
The Amended Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the Amended Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency; and a change in control without consent of bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Amended Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.
The Company also has a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement whose principal and interest due monthly began October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments ending on September 1, 2028. The balance as of June 30, 2021 was $2,070,000.
Current and future capital resource requirements will be provided primarily from current cash and marketable securities, cash flow from ongoing operations, distributions from joint ventures, proceeds from the sale of developed and undeveloped land parcels, potential sales of assets, additional use of debt or drawdowns against our line of credit, proceeds from the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs through CFD bond debt (described below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”), and the issuance of additional common stock.
In May 2019, we filed an updated shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which went effective in May 2019. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell in the future one or more offerings of, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination of the foregoing. The shelf registration allows for efficient and timely access to capital markets and when combined with our other potential funding sources just noted, provides us with a variety of capital funding options that can then be used and appropriately matched to the funding needs of the Company.
Although we have a strong liquidity position at June 30, 2021 with $49,639,000 in cash and securities and $35,000,000 available on our RLC to meet any short-term liquidity needs, we have taken steps to maximize positive cash flow, in case a lack of liquidity in the economy limits our access to third party funding by responsibly limiting cash expenditures to the extent practical. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) and Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
44


We continue to expect that substantial investments will be required to develop our land assets. To meet these capital requirements, we may need to secure additional debt financing and continue to renew our existing credit facilities. In addition to debt financing, we will use other capital alternatives such as joint ventures with financial partners, sales of assets, and the issuance of common stock. We will use a combination of the above funding sources to properly match funding requirements with the assets or development project being funded. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing or that we can obtain financing at favorable terms. We believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our cash needs and our capital investment requirements in the near-term as described earlier in the cash flow and liquidity discussions.
Contractual Cash Obligations
The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2021, to be paid over the next five years and thereafter:

The categories above include purchase obligations and other long-term liabilities reflected on our balance sheet under GAAP. A “purchase obligation” is defined in Item 303(a)(5)(ii)(D) of Regulation S-K as “an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally binding on the registrant that specifies all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.” Based on this definition, the table above includes only those contracts that include fixed or minimum obligations. It does not include normal purchases, which are made in the ordinary course of business.
Estimated water payments include the Nickel Family, LLC water contract, which obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through 2044 and SWP contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District. These contracts for the supply of future water run through 2035. Please refer to Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding water assets.
Our cash contract commitments consist of contracts in various stages of completion related to infrastructure development within our industrial developments and entitlement costs related to our industrial and residential development projects. Also included in the cash contract commitments are operating lease obligations. Our operating lease obligations are for office equipment. At the present time, we do not have any capital lease obligations or purchase obligations outstanding.
As discussed in Note 13 (Retirement Plans) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we have long-term liabilities for deferred employee compensation, including pension and supplemental retirement plans. Payments in the above table reflect estimates of future defined benefit plan contributions from the Company to the plan trust, estimates of payments to employees from the plan trust, and estimates of future payments to employees from the Company that are in the SERP program. We expect to contribute $165,000 to our defined benefit plan in 2021.
Our financial obligations to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are prescribed in the Conservation Agreement, as discussed in Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Our advances to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy are dependent on the occurrence of certain events and their timing and are therefore subject to change in amount and period. The amounts included above are the minimum amounts we anticipate contributing through the year 2021, at which time our current contractual obligation terminates. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of litigation related to payment obligations to the Tejon Ranch Conservancy.

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. TRPFFA created two CFDs, the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $28,620,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $75,965,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $44,035,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA.
In connection with the sale of bonds there is a standby letter of credit for $4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. As development occurs within TRCC-East, there is a mechanism in the bond documents to reduce the amount of the letter of credit. The Company believes as of June 30, 2021, that the letter of credit will likely never be drawn upon. This letter of credit is for a two-year period and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $68,000. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased within each CFD is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and the assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize an obligation as of June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $132,380,000. We provided a guarantee on $117,918,000 of this debt, relating to our joint ventures with Rockefeller and Majestic. Because of positive cash flow generation within the Rockefeller and Majestic joint ventures, we, as of June 30, 2021, do not expect the guarantee to be called upon. We do not provide a guarantee on the $14,462,000 of debt related to our joint venture with TA/Petro.

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

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

The Company utilizes NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures as a measure of financial or operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures provides investors with additional information concerning operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We also use this measure internally to monitor the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our computation of this non-GAAP measure may not be the same as similar measures reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures.
The following schedule reconciles net income of unconsolidated joint ventures to NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial or commodity market prices or rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and commodity prices.
Financial Market Risks
Our exposure to financial market risks includes changes to interest rates and credit risks related to marketable securities, interest rates related to our outstanding indebtedness and trade receivables.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields and prudently managing risk. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate exposure, we limit our investments to securities with a maturity of less than five years and an investment grade rating from Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The RLC had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2021. The interest rate on the RLC can either float at 1.50% over a selected LIBOR rate or can be fixed at 1.50% above LIBOR for a fixed term for a limited period of time and change only at maturity of the fixed rate portion. The floating rate and fixed rate options within our RLC help us manage our interest rate exposure on any outstanding balances.
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of two term loans, one of which has a balance of $52,875,000 as of June 30, 2021 and is tied to LIBOR plus a margin of 1.70%. The interest rate for the term of this loan has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap that fixed the rate at 4.16%. The outstanding balance on the second term loan as of June 30, 2021 was $2,070,000 and has a fixed rate of 4.25%. We believe it is prudent at times to limit the variability of floating-rate interest payments and have from time to time entered into interest rate swap arrangements to manage those fluctuations, as we did with the first term loan (discussed here).
Market risk related to our farming inventories ultimately depends on the value of almonds, grapes, and pistachios at the time of payment or sale. Credit risk related to our receivables depends upon the financial condition of our customers. Based on historical experience with our current customers and our periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure.
The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present our debt obligations and marketable securities and their related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Weighted average interest rate4.16%4.16%4.16%4.16%4.16%4.16%4.16%
Commodity Price Exposure
Farming inventories and accounts receivables are exposed to adverse price fluctuations. Farming inventories consists of farming cultural and processing costs associated with crop production. Farming inventory costs are recorded as incurred. Historically, these costs have been recovered through crop sales occurring after harvest.
With respect to accounts receivables, the amount at risk primarily relates to farm crops. These receivables are recorded as estimates of the prices that ultimately will be received for the crops. The final price is generally not known for several months following the close of our fiscal year. Of the $1,377,000 of accounts receivable outstanding at June 30, 2021, $116,000, or 8%, pertains to pistachio sales receivables that are at risk to changing prices.
The price estimated for the remaining accounts receivable for pistachios recorded at June 30, 2021 was $2.04 per pound and remains unchanged from December 31, 2020 levels. For each $0.01 change in the price per pound of pistachios, our receivable for pistachios increases or decreases by $570. Although the final price per pound of pistachios, and therefore the extent of the risk is presently unknown, pricing over the past three years has ranged from $1.98 to $2.04.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all information required in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
