Revenue: M1’s first quarter
total revenue was $134,280, which included rental income, dividends, and short-term
and long-term capital gains/losses. Rental
revenue was $106,388 compared to $95,924 and $83,723 during the 4Q12 and 3Q12
respectively. Apartment availability, low turnover and efficient rental
operations have contributed to this positive trend and stability. Our securities
portfolio generated $12,811 in dividends compared to $6,409 during 4Q12. We expect dividend income to increase as we
continue to focus on growing our securities portfolio.
Operating
expenses:
Our operating expenses for 1Q13 were $123,532. We will continue to invest
money to improve our properties; we invested $25,820 in maintenance and
repairs during 1Q13. Our next two largest expenses were utility expense
($8,585) and property insurance ($4,910). All operating expenses were in line
with our budget. Depreciation
accounted for $30,038 of operating expenses.
Funds
From Operations (FFO): M1’s
taxable gain for 1Q13 was $10,748; however by adding back property
depreciation and subtracting capital gains, the company experienced a positive
FFO of $31,434. Interest expense for 1Q13
was $35,566. Our average cost of capital decreased to 5.04%. Management will
continue to seek opportunities to refinance liabilities in order to lower
interest expense, allowing the company to use those savings for property
renovations and REIT investments.
Distributions: M1 paid its first distribution to share members in January.
Distributions are based on FFO from the previous six months of
operations. During July 1 – December
31, 2012, FFO was $65,581. However,
considering $30,000 was in maintenance credits we used $35,581 as our baseline
for calculating our distribution. M1 distributed
40% of FFO, resulting in a distribution of $14,232 or .09 per share. The distribution was paid on January 31,
2013.
Balance
sheet: Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments as of March 31, 2013 were $1,055,089. Our REIT portfolio accounts
for $1,041,926. Our property portfolio decreased $77,000 due to a
re-appraisal of properties in Macomb and Grand Street property in Joplin. The
company’s total liabilities decreased to $2,819,390. This was a result of bonds redeemed and
normal debt reduction through mortgage payments. Share members’ equity increased
to $2,035,699. During 1Q13, M1 issued 5,923 member shares and increased our M1
family by two.
During
the 1Q13 we completed the renovations on our newest properties (Kenser and
Marigold). Six of nine units were rented
at the end of 1Q13 and we have two new tenants moving in on April 1st. The last unit has three approved
applications with a move-in date of May 1, 2013.
Acquisition/Disposition: We did not
make any acquisitions or dispositions during 1Q13. However, we are in the final stages of
negotiating a 48-unit apartment complex, known as “Oxford Apartments” in
Joplin, MO. The property is a private
listing brought to our attention by our banking partner, Community Bank &
Trust. After reviewing the property and receiving an appraisal from our
realtor we have made an offer of $1,710,000. The operating income is $134,309
making the cap rate of this property 7.9%.
Additionally, the seller financed the loan agreeing to 3.75% interest,
5-year balloon, and 20-year amortization. After debt service the net income
is $35,415, resulting in an 11% return on capital, assuming a down payment of
$320,000.
Guidance
for 2013: M1’s 2013 total revenue goal is increased to $475,000.
We have experienced a significant increase in our total income during 1Q13
due to improved tenant payment operations, apartment availability, dividends,
and trading activity. We expect our rental income to continue to grow as we
rent our newly purchased properties and continue regularly scheduled annual rental
rate increases. Operating expenses are
budgeted to remain in line (80%) with our expected revenue as we execute our preventive
maintenance plans. We have begun
distributing 40% of our funds from operations and plan to gradually increase
the amount as we grow our business, driving higher revenue and increasing our
funds from operations.
