Mortgage Notes Payable

As of September 30, 2012, we had 28 fixed-rate mortgage notes payable, collateralized by a total of 69 properties. The parent company has limited recourse liabilities that could result from any one or more of the following circumstances: a borrower voluntarily filing for bankruptcy, improper conveyance of a property, fraud or material misrepresentation, misapplication or misappropriation of rents, security deposits, insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds, or physical waste or damage to the property resulting from a borrower’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. We will also indemnify lenders against claims resulting from the presence of hazardous substances or activity involving hazardous substances in violation of environmental laws on a property. The weighted-average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2012 was 5.65%.

 

On February 1, 2012, we repaid in full the mortgage on our property located in Canton, North Carolina in the amount of $2.3 million. We did not incur any prepayment penalties associated with the early repayment. The original maturity date of this mortgage was April 2030.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we issued or assumed eight long-term mortgages, which are summarized below:

The fair value of all fixed-rate mortgage notes payable outstanding as of September 30, 2012, was $348.5 million, as compared to the carrying value stated above of $337.9 million. The fair value is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on management’s estimate of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. The fair value was calculated using Level 3 inputs of the hierarchy established by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

The $45.2 million mortgage note issued in September 2008 was repaid on October 1, 2012 with Key Bank. A portion of the mortgage note was refinanced with Key Bank NA. Please see Note 9 “Subsequent Events” for further details.

Line of Credit

In December 2010, we procured a $50.0 million Line of Credit (with Capital One, N.A. serving as a revolving lender, a letter of credit issuer and an administrative agent and Branch Banking and Trust Company serving as an additional revolving lender and letter of credit issuer), which matures on December 28, 2013. The Line of Credit originally provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $50.0 million with a standby letter of credit sublimit of up to $20.0 million. On January 31, 2012, the Line of Credit was expanded to $75.0 million and Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania was added as a revolving lender and letter of credit issuer. Currently, six of our properties are pledged as collateral under our Line of Credit. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Line of Credit is equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of up to 3.00%, depending upon our leverage. The leverage ratio used in determining the applicable margin for interest on the Line of Credit is recalculated quarterly. We are subject to an annual maintenance fee of 0.25% per year. Our ability to access this source of financing is subject to our continued ability to meet customary lending requirements, such as compliance with financial and operating covenants and our meeting certain lending limits. One such covenant requires us to limit distributions to our stockholders to 95% of our FFO, with acquisition-related costs required to be expensed under ASC 805 added back to FFO. In addition, the maximum amount we may draw under this agreement is based on a percentage of the value of properties pledged as collateral to the banks, which must meet agreed upon eligibility standards.

If and when long-term mortgages are arranged for these pledged properties, the banks will release the properties from the Line of Credit and reduce the availability under the Line of Credit by the advanced amount of the released property. Conversely, as we purchase new properties meeting the eligibility standards, we may pledge these new properties to obtain additional availability under the Line of Credit. The availability under the Line of Credit is reduced by letters of credit used in the ordinary course of business. We may use the advances under the Line of Credit for both general corporate purposes and the acquisition of new investments.

At September 30, 2012, there was $5.5 million outstanding under the Line of Credit at an interest rate of approximately 3.0% and $6.1 million outstanding under letters of credit at a weighted average interest rate of 3.0%. At September 30, 2012, the maximum amount we may draw was $8.3 million. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of September 30, 2012. The amount outstanding on the Line of Credit as of September 30, 2012 approximates fair value, because the debt is short-term.
