SJW Land Company had two mortgage loans, one for its Arizona property and one for its Tennessee property, that were due in 2016 and 2017. These loans amortized over 10 years, were secured by two properties and carried a fixed interest rate with 120 monthly principal and interest payments. The loan agreements had restrictions from prepayments in the first three years and had required submission of periodic financial reports as part of the loan covenants. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the two mortgage loans were paid off. 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P., in which SJW Land Company owns a 70% limited partnership interest, had a mortgage loan that was secured by the partnership’s real property and was non-recourse to SJW Land Company. The mortgage loan was due in 2021 and was being amortized over 20 years with an interest rate of 5.68%. As of December 31, 2017, the loan was paid off as part of the sale of the partnership’s real property. On December 15, 2016, San Jose Water Company entered into a loan agreement with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority (“CPCFA”). The CPCFA had simultaneously entered into an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee pursuant to which the CPCFA issued $70,000 in aggregate principal of its 4.75% fixed rate revenue bonds. The CPCFA loaned the proceeds of the bond issuance to San Jose Water Company pursuant to the loan agreement. The terms of the revenue bonds provide for interest only payments until maturity, which is November 1, 2046. As of December 31, 2016, $19,001 in loan proceeds were being held as restricted cash by the trustee for the revenue bonds until certain conditions were met. On January 10, 2017, the conditions were met and the trustee released the remaining loan proceeds to San Jose Water Company. San Jose Water Company has obligations pursuant to loan agreements with the CPCFA totaling $120,000 in aggregate principal amounts of CPCFA revenue bonds outstanding as of December 31, 2017. The loan agreements contain affirmative and negative covenants customary for loan agreements relating to revenue bonds, containing, among other things, certain disclosure obligations, the tax exempt status of the interest on the bonds and limitations, and prohibitions on the transfer of projects funded by the loan proceeds and assignment of the loan agreements. As of December 31, 2017, San Jose Water Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $537,840 and $502,446, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the Company. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
