GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Business and Organization
Gladstone Land Corporation (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is an agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been originally incorporated in California on June 14, 1997. We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, and we conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. As we currently control the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated within our financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 100.0% of the outstanding OP Units (see Note 8, “Equity,” for additional discussion regarding OP Units).
Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of ours, was created to collect any non-qualifying income related to our real estate portfolio and to perform certain small-scale farming business operations. We have elected for Land Advisers to be taxed as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) of ours. Since we currently own 100% of the voting securities of Land Advisers, its financial position and results of operations are consolidated within our financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and for the tax year ended December 31, 2023, there was no taxable income or loss from Land Advisers, nor did we have any undistributed REIT taxable income.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours (see Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions,” for additional discussion regarding our Adviser and Administrator).
All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making certain judgments. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. It also requires disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items, as well as interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also applies to entities with a single

reportable segment. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Fresno County, California, we also acquired an ownership in a related limited liability company (the “Fresno LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to our and other neighboring properties. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Umatilla County, Oregon, we also acquired an ownership in a related limited liability company (the “Umatilla LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain an irrigation system providing water to our and other neighboring properties.
As of September 30, 2024, our aggregate ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC was 50.0% and 20.5%, respectively. As our investments in the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC are both deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for these investments under the equity method.
We recorded an aggregate gain (loss) of approximately $28,000 and $(143,000) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and an aggregate loss of approximately $24,000 and $84,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively (included in Gain (loss) from investments in unconsolidated entities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income), which represents our pro-rata share of the aggregate loss recognized by the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our combined ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $5.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in Water Assets
Semitropic Water Storage District Banked Water
In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Kern County, California, in 2021, we also acquired three contracts to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 acre-feet of banked water held by Semitropic Water Storage District (“SWSD”), a water storage district located in Kern County, California. Subsequently in 2021, we executed all three contracts to purchase all 45,000 acre-feet of banked water for an aggregate additional cost of approximately $2.8 million.
In addition, since the initial acquisition, additional contracts to purchase banked water held by SWSD were conveyed to us by one of our tenants as partial consideration for rent payments owed. The following table summarizes the total acre-feet of banked water obtained through exercising these contracts as of September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Period Acquired |  | Acre-feet of Banked Water Available to Purchase per Contract |  | Acre-feet of Banked Water Purchased(1) |  | Value Attributed to Contract(2) |  | Cost to Exercise Contract |  | Total Carrying Value of Banked Water Purchased
Three months ended December 31, 2023 |  | 1,003 |  | 1,003 |  | $ | 401 |  |  | $ | 61 |  |  | $ | 463 |
Three months ended March 31, 2024 |  | 2,306 |  | 2,306 |  | 923 |  |  | 141 |  |  | 1,064 |
Total |  | 3,309 |  | 3,309 |  | $ | 1,324 |  |  | $ | 202 |  |  | $ | 1,527 |

(1)All contracts to purchase additional banked water were exercised in the same quarter in which the respective contract was conveyed to us.
(2)Represents noncash income received during the respective periods. The straight-line impact of these receipts is included within Lease revenue, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
All banked water acquired was recognized at cost, including the subsequent cost to execute the contracts and any administrative fees necessary to transfer the water to our banked water account. As of September 30, 2024, the 48,309 acre-feet of banked water held by SWSD was recognized as a long-term water asset and had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $35.5 million (included within Other assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).
Westlands Water District Groundwater Credits
11

In addition, from May 2023 through March 2024, we elected to participate in a groundwater recharge program established by Westlands Water District (“WWD”), a water district located in Fresno County, California. Under the program, WWD paid for surplus surface water to be delivered to individual landowners’ properties with district-approved groundwater recharge facilities, also known as “water banks.” The landowner was allowed to keep 50% of the net amount of groundwater credits generated under the program (after allowing for certain leave-behind and evaporative losses), and the remaining 50% was used to recharge the aquifer and retained by WWD. Delivery of water under this program was subject to surplus water availability at WWD’s discretion. WWD terminated the program for the 2024 water year effective March 5, 2024. Through September 30, 2024, we have recognized 2,660 acre-feet of water credits, which represents 50% of the total net water credits generated and confirmed by WWD under the program as of such date. As of September 30, 2024, these water credits were recognized as a long-term water asset and had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $753,000 (included within Other assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). In addition, as a result of being granted these water credits in exchange for transferring and storing this surplus water on behalf of WWD, we recognized approximately $0 and $453,000 of non-cash revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which represents the estimated fair value of the water credits obtained during the period. No such revenue was recorded during either of the prior-year periods.
Other Groundwater Credits
During 2023 and 2024, we also entered into various other agreements with certain third parties (including local water districts and private individuals) to either buy water directly, buy a portion of other water districts’ surface water allocations in future years in which allocations are granted, or to store surface water on others’ behalf in one of our groundwater recharge facilities in exchange for a portion of the net groundwater credits produced and recognized by the respective water district. Through September 30, 2024, we have obtained 2,819 acre-feet of water credits as a result of these agreements, which were recognized as a long-term water asset with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $535,000 (included within Other assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).
Total Long-term Water Assets
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we owned a total of 53,787 acre-feet and 46,400 acre-feet, respectively, of long-term water assets, and our investments in these assets had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $36.8 million and $34.6 million, respectively, and are included within Other assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have invested approximately $1.4 million to construct groundwater recharge facilities on two of our farms, which is included within Real estate, at cost on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, through September 30, 2024, we have invested an additional $3.3 million in the aggregate in connection with these agreements that are expected to result in additional groundwater credits in the future; however, the amount and timing of these credits, if any, is currently unknown and is dependent upon and subject to the recognition of such credits by the respective water districts, in their sole discretion. Such costs are held in a deferred asset account (also included within Other assets, net on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) until the related net water credits become estimable and are recognized by the respective water district, at which time the costs would be reclassed to investments in long-term water assets.
Portfolio Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2024, our farms were leased to various different, unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. No individual tenant represented greater than 10% of the total lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Geographic Risk
Farms located in California and Florida accounted for approximately $43.3 million (68.1%) and $9.1 million (14.3%), respectively, of the total lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible. If an unexpected natural disaster (such as an earthquake, wildfire, flood, or hurricane) occurs or climate change impacts the regions where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. To date, none of our farms have been materially impacted by natural disasters. See “—California Floods” and “—Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes” below for a discussion on damage caused on certain of our farms by the January 2023 floods that occurred in California and by the hurricanes that occurred in the Southeastern U.S. in September and October 2024. Besides California and Florida, no other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of the total lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
12

California Floods
In January 2023, periods of heavy rainfall in California resulted in floods that impacted several areas of the state, including regions where certain of our farms are located. As a result of the flooding, one of our farms in the Central Valley suffered damage to certain structures located on the farm, and we estimated the carrying value of such structures to be approximately $855,000. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we wrote down the carrying value of these structures and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss, included within Property and casualty loss, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in California suffered minor damage as a result of the floods, but no other farms were materially impacted.
In addition, in February 2024, certain parts of California, particularly the southern part of the state, experienced a “one-in-one-thousand year” rainfall event, as atmospheric river storms caused widespread flooding and mudslides in multiple areas. Certain of our farms suffered minor damage as a result of the storms, but no farms were materially impacted.
Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes
In September and October 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused widespread destruction across many states in the Southeastern U.S., including areas where several of our farms are located.
As a result of Hurricane Helene in September 2024, one of our farms in Georgia suffered damage to certain permanent plantings on the farm, and we estimated the carrying value of such plantings to be approximately $275,000. As such, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we wrote down the carrying value of these plantings and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss, included within Property and casualty loss, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in the region suffered minor damage as a result of Hurricane Helene, but no other farms were materially impacted.
As a result of Hurricane Milton in October 2024, a portion of a cooling facility located on one of our farms in Florida suffered minor water damage. We are unable to estimate the extent of the damage at this time; however, we do not expect the cost of repairs to be material, and we expect the damage to be fully covered by insurance. We are still assessing the overall impact of Hurricane Milton. While planting may be slightly delayed, we do not expect any material impact to our farms or our tenants’ operations as a result of Hurricane Milton.
Impairment
We evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any impairment indicators and perform an impairment analysis on those select properties and water assets that have an indication of impairment. If this analysis indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of shortening our assumed holding periods for certain farms, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of approximat ely $2.1 million on portions of four properties (encompassing a total of 11 farms) located in Allegan and Van Buren, Michigan, due to the estimated fair values being lower than the respective carrying values. Our estimates of fair value were determined based on expected sales prices per certain agreements entered into subsequent to September 30, 2024 (see Note 11, “Subsequent Events—Portfolio Activity—Dispositions,” for further discussion on the potential sale of these farm). We did not record any impairment charges during 2023.
NOTE 4. BORROWINGS
Our borrowings as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
13

| Carrying Value as of |  | As of September 30, 2024

(1)Where applicable, stated interest rates are before interest patronage (as described below).
As of September 30, 2024, the above borrowings were collateralized by certain of our farms with an aggregate net book value of approximately $1.1 billion. The weighted-average stated interest rate charged on the above borrowings (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded interest) was 3.83% and 3.82% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectfully, as compared to 3.81% and 3.79% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, 2023 interest patronage from our Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below) resulted in a 22.0% reduction (approximately 101 basis points) to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. See below under “—Farm Credit Notes Payable—Interest Patronage” for further discussion on interest patronage.
As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to the above borrowings.
MetLife Facility
As amended, our credit facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) consists of $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the “MetLife Lines of Credit”), a $75.0 million long-term note payable (the “2020 MetLife Term Note”), and a $100.0 million long-term note payable (the “2022 MetLife Term Note,” and together with the MetLife Lines of Credit and the 2020 MetLife Term Note, the “MetLife Facility”).
The following table summarizes the pertinent terms of the MetLife Facility as of September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

Issuance |  | Aggregate Commitment |  | Maturity Dates |  | Principal Outstanding |  | Interest Rate Terms |  | Undrawn Commitment(1) |
MetLife Lines of Credit |  | $ | 75,000 |  |  | 12/15/2033 |  | $ | 200 |  |  | 3M SOFR + 2.00% | (2) | $ | 74,800 |  |
2020 MetLife Term Note |  | 75,000 |  | (3) | 1/5/2030 |  | 36,900 |  |  | 2.75%, fixed through 1/4/2030 | (4) | 38,100 |  |
2022 MetLife Term Note |  | 100,000 |  | (3) | 1/5/2032 |  | — |  |  | (4) |  | 100,000 |  |
Totals |  | $ | 250,000 |  |  |  |  | $ | 37,100 |  |  |  |  | $ | 212,900 |  |

(1)Based on the properties that were pledged as collateral under the MetLife Facility, as of September 30, 2024, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the facility was approximately $110.2 million.
(2)The interest rate on the MetLife Lines of Credit is subject to a minimum annualized rate of 2.50%, plus an unused fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under each line of credit).
(3)If the aggregate commitments under the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are not fully utilized by December 31, 2024, MetLife has no obligation to disburse the additional funds under either note.
(4)Interest rates on future disbursements under each of the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note will be based on prevailing market rates at the time of such disbursements. In addition, through December 31, 2024, the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are each subject to an unused fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under the respective note).
Farmer Mac Facility
Through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, we have entered into a bond purchase agreement (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) and Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (the “Bond Purchaser”) for a secured note purchase facility (the “Farmer Mac Facility”). As amended from time to time, the Farmer Mac Facility currently provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $225.0 million. Pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement, as further amended on June 2, 2023, we may issue new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility through December 31, 2026, and the final maturity date for new bonds issued under the facility will be the date that is ten years from the applicable issuance date. We did not issue any new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
14

As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $33.0 million of bonds issued and outstanding under the Farmer Mac Facility.
Farm Credit Notes Payable
From time to time since September 2014, we, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, have entered into various loan agreements (collectively, the “Farm Credit Notes Payable”) with various different Farm Credit associations (collectively, “Farm Credit”). We did not enter into any new loan agreements with Farm Credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest Patronage
Interest patronage, or refunded interest, on our borrowings from Farm Credit is generally recorded upon receipt and is included within Other income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Receipt of interest patronage typically occurs in the first half of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the respective interest expense is accrued.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded interest patronage of approximately $1.9 million related to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during the year ended December 31, 2023, and during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we received approximately $111,000 of interest patronage, as certain Farm Credit associations paid a portion of the 2023 interest patronage (which relates to interest accrued during 2023 but is typically paid during the first half of 2024) early. In total, 2023 interest patronage resulted in a 22.0% reduction (approximately 101 basis points) to the interest rates on such borrowings. Interest patronage is paid at Farm Credit’s discretion, and we are therefore unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2024 on our Farm Credit Notes Payable.
Debt Service – Aggregate Maturities
Scheduled principal payments of our aggregate notes and bonds payable as of September 30, 2024, for the succeeding years are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Period |  | Scheduled Principal Payments |
For the remaining three months ending December 31: | 2024 |  | $ | 2,677 |  |
For the fiscal years ending December 31: | 2025 |  | 38,622 |  |
| 2026 |  | 17,749 |  |
| 2027 |  | 50,933 |  |
| 2028 |  | 77,322 |  |
| 2029 |  | 152,787 |  |
| Thereafter |  | 192,970 |  |
|  |  | $ | 533,060 |  |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repaid approximately $29.5 million of bonds that were scheduled to either mature or reprice. On a weighted-average basis, these borrowings bore interest at a fixed, stated rate of 3.66% and an effective interest rate (after interest patronage, where applicable) of 3.23%.
Fair Value
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement (Subtopic 820)” (“ASC 820”), provides a definition of fair value that focuses on the exchange (exit) price of an asset or liability in the principal, or most advantageous market, and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs to the valuation. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1 — inputs that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets or model-based valuation techniques, for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
•Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs are generally supported by little or no market activity and are based upon management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate fair value of our notes and bonds payable was approximately $500.0 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $533.1 million.
15

The fair value of our notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on debt with comparable terms. Further, due to the revolving nature and variable interest rates applicable to the MetLife Lines of Credit, their aggregate fair value as of September 30, 2024, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of $200,000.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In order to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates, we have entered into various interest rate swap agreements in connection with certain of our mortgage financings. In accordance with these swap agreements, we will pay our counterparty a fixed interest rate on a quarterly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equal to the respective stipulated floating rates. We have adopted the fair value measurement provision for these financial instruments, and the aggregate fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in Other assets, net or Other liabilities, net, as appropriate, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, in the absence of observable market data, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps using estimates of certain data points, including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield, and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s fair value measurement guidance, we have made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. As of September 30, 2024, our interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs.
In addition, we have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $1.6 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.
We had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Period |  | Number of Instruments |  | Aggregate Notional Amount |  |  |  |
As of September 30, 2024 |  | 4 |  | $ | 68,338 |  |  |  |  |
As of December 31, 2023 |  | 4 |  | 70,229 |  |  |  |  |

The following table presents the fair value of our interest rate swaps as well as their classification on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

|  |  |  | Derivative Asset (Liability) Fair Value

Total | $ | (2,565) |  |  | $ | 1,557 |  |  | $ | (1,591) |  |  | $ | 1,264 |

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any derivatives in a net liability position, nor have we posted any collateral related to these agreements.
NOTE 5. CUMULATIVE TERM PREFERRED STOCK
In January 2021, we completed a public offering of 5.00% Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Term Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. As a result of this offering (including the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments), we issued a total of
16

2,415,000 shares of the Series D Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $60.4 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $58.3 million. The Series D Term Preferred Stock is traded under the ticker symbol “LANDM” on Nasdaq.
The shares of the Series D Term Preferred Stock have a mandatory redemption date of January 31, 2026, and are not convertible into our common stock or any other securities. We may redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
We incurred approximately $2.1 million in total offering costs related to this issuance, which have been recorded net of the Series D Term Preferred Stock as presented on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized over the mandatory redemption period as a component of interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Series D Term Preferred Stock is recorded as a liability on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily-redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities. In addition, the related dividend payments are treated similarly to interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our Series D Term Preferred Stock was approximately $59.2 million, as compared to the carrying value (exclusive of unamortized offering costs) of approximately $60.4 million. The fair value of our Series D Term Preferred Stock uses Level 1 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is calculated based on the closing per-share price on September 30, 2024, of $24.50.
For information on the dividends declared by our Board of Directors and paid by us on the Series D Term Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, see Note 8, “Equity—Distributions.”
NOTE 6. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman, chief executive officer, and president. In addition, two of our executive officers, Mr. Gladstone and Terry Brubaker (our chief operating officer), serve as directors and executive officers of each of our Adviser and Administrator. Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary) is also executive vice president of administration of our Adviser.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”).

Each of the base management, incentive, capital gains, and termination fees is described below.
Base Management Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a base management fee is paid quarterly and is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% (0.15% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by us (including land and land improvements, permanent plantings, irrigation and drainage systems, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on our balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (defined below) for a particular quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity.
17

For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends declared on preferred stock securities that are not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. In addition, Total Adjusted Common Equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity plus non-controlling common interests in the Operating Partnership, if any (each as reported on our balance sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items.
Our Adviser receives: (i) no incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).
Capital Gains Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a capital gains-based incentive fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.
Termination Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, in the event of our termination of the agreement with our Adviser for any reason (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary), and their respective staffs.
As approved by our Board of Directors, our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.
Gladstone Securities
We have entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging financing for our properties (the “Financing Arrangement Agreement”). Gladstone Securities is a privately-held broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, who also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities. In addition, Michael LiCalsi, our general counsel and secretary, serves in several capacities for Gladstone Securities, including as its chief legal officer, secretary, a member of its board of managers, and a managing principal.
Financing Arrangement Agreement
We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing financing on our properties. Depending on the size of the financing obtained, the maximum amount of the financing fee, which will be payable upon closing of the respective financing, will range from 0.5% to 1.0% of the amount of financing obtained. The amount of the financing fee may be reduced or eliminated as determined by us and Gladstone Securities after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any unrelated third-party brokers and general market conditions.
We did not pay any financing fees to Gladstone Securities during either of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Through September 30, 2024, the total amount of financing fees paid to Gladstone Securities represented approximately 0.14% of the total financings secured since the Financing Arrangement Agreement has been in place.
Dealer-Manager Agreement
18

We have entered into a dealer-manager agreement with Gladstone Securities (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”), pursuant to which Gladstone Securities serves as our exclusive dealer-manager in connection with the offering of our Series E Preferred Stock (as defined in Note 8, “Equity—Equity Issuances”).
Pursuant to the Dealer-Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities provides certain sales, promotional, and marketing services to us in connection with the offering of the Series E Preferred Stock, and we generally paid or pay Gladstone Securities the following:
i selling commissions of up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Selling Commissions”), and
ii a dealer-manager fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Dealer-Manager Fees”).
Gladstone Securities may, in its sole discretion, remit all or a portion of the Selling Commissions and also reallow all or a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fees to participating broker-dealers and wholesalers in support of the offerings. The terms of the Dealer-Manager Agreement were approved by our board of directors, including its independent directors.
The following table summarizes the total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees paid to Gladstone Securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Registration Statement
On March 6, 2020, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236943) with the SEC (the “2020 Registration Statement”). The 2020 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 1, 2020, permitted us to issue up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. Under the 2020 Registration Statement, we issued a total of 10,254,072 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (defined below) for gross proceeds of approximately $253.9 million, 2,415,000 shares of Series D Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $60.4 million, 77,841 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $1.9 million, and 14,367,524 shares of common stock (including common stock issued to redeem OP Units) for gross proceeds of approximately $280.9 million.
On March 28, 2023, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-270901), with the SEC (the “2023 Registration Statement”) to replace the 2020 Registration Statement. The 2023 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2023, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in securities consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more securities. Through September 30, 2024, we have issued a total of 175,335 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (defined below) for gross proceeds of approximately $4.4 million and 124,460 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $2.2 million under the 2023 Registration Statement. See Note 11, “Subsequent Events,” for equity issuances completed subsequent to September 30, 2024.
Equity Issuances
Series C Preferred Stock
On April 3, 2020, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering (the “Series C Offering”) of our 6.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). Under the Series C Offering, as amended, we were permitted us to sell up to 10,200,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through Gladstone Securities at an offering price of $25.00 per share (the “Primary Series C Offering”) and up to 200,000 additional shares of our Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at a price of $22.75 per share. The Primary Series C Offering terminated on December 31, 2022, with substantially all of the allotted 10,200,000 shares being sold resulting in total gross proceeds, exclusive of redemptions, of approximately $252.6 million and net proceeds, after deducting commissions, dealer-manager fees, and offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $230.5 million. The Series C Preferred Stock DRIP was terminated effective March 22, 2023.

We listed the Series C Preferred Stock on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LANDP,” and trading commenced on June 8, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 14,069 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the DRIP, and 48,913 shares of Series C Preferred Stock were tendered for optional redemption, which we satisfied with an aggregate cash payment of approximately $1.2 million. We did not issue any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the DRIP during the three months ended September 30, 2023, nor were any shares of the Series C Preferred Stock tendered for optional redemption.
Series E Preferred Stock
On November 9, 2022, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering (the “Series E Offering”) of up to 8,000,000 shares of our 5.00% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through Gladstone Securities at an offering price of $25.00 per share.

Repurchase Program

On May 17, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and up to $35.0 million of our Series C Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Repurchase Program”). The Board’s authorization of the Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of securities, and expires on May 17, 2025. Under the Repurchase Program, repurchases are intended to be implemented through open market transactions on U.S. exchanges and/or in privately-negotiated transactions facilitated by a third-party broker acting as agent for us in accordance with applicable securities laws. Any repurchases will be made during applicable trading window periods or pursuant to applicable Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
The following table summarizes repurchase activity under the Repurchase Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership
We consolidate our Operating Partnership, which is a majority-owned partnership. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we owned 100.0% of the outstanding OP Units.
On or after 12 months after becoming a holder of OP Units, each limited partner, other than the Company, has the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such units in exchange for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The cash redemption per OP Unit would be based on the market price of our common stock at the time of redemption. A limited partner will not be entitled to exercise redemption rights if the delivery of common stock to the redeeming limited partner would breach restrictions on the ownership of common stock imposed under our charter and other limitations thereof.
Regardless of the rights described above, the Operating Partnership will not have an obligation to issue cash to a unitholder upon a redemption request if the Company elects to redeem the OP Units for shares of its common stock. When a non-controlling unitholder redeems OP Units and the Company elects to satisfy that redemption through the issuance of common stock, non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced, and stockholders’ equity is increased.
The Operating Partnership is required to make distributions on each OP Unit in the same amount as those paid on each share of the Company’s common stock, with the distributions on the OP Units held by the Company being utilized to make distributions to the Company’s common stockholders.
Distributions
The per-share distributions to preferred and common stockholders declared by our Board of Directors during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are reflected in the table below.
22

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,

NOTE 9. LEASE REVENUES
The following table sets forth the components of our lease revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Fixed lease payments(1) | $ | 18,913 |  |  | $ | 21,102 |  |  | $ | 58,578 |  |  | $ | 63,180 |
Variable lease payments(2) | 3,658 |  |  | 2,432 |  |  | 5,089 |  |  | 2,766 |
Lease revenue, net(3) | $ | 22,571 |  |  | $ | 23,534 |  |  | $ | 63,667 |  |  | $ | 65,946 |

(1)Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms and includes the amortization of above-market lease values and lease incentives and the accretion of below-market lease values and other deferred revenue.
(2)Variable lease payments primarily consist of participation rents, which are generally based on a percentage of the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, and reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants. Participation rents are generally recognized when all contingencies have been resolved and when actual results become known or estimable, enabling us to estimate and/or measure our share of such gross revenues. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded participation rents of approximately $3.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $142,000 and $453,000, respectively, and late fees of approximately $4,000 and $11,000, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded participation rents of approximately $2.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, reimbursements of certain property operating expenses by tenants of approximately $47,000 and $140,000, respectively, and late fees of approximately $0 and $46,000, respectively.

NOTE 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. Earnings figures are presented net of non-controlling interests in the earnings per share calculations. The non-controlling limited partners’ outstanding OP Units (which may be redeemed for shares of common stock) have been excluded from the diluted per-share calculation, as there would be no effect on the amounts since the non-controlling OP Unitholders’ share of earnings would also be added back to net income or loss.

(Dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts): | Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023

OVERVIEW
General
We are an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the business of owning and leasing farmland. We are not a grower of crops, nor do we typically farm the properties we own. We currently own 168 farms comprised of 111,836 acres located across 15 states in the U.S. and 53,787 acre-feet of water assets in California. We also own several farm-related facilities, such as cooling facilities, packinghouses, processing facilities, and various storage facilities.
We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held, directly or indirectly, by, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Gladstone Land Corporation controls the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and currently owns, directly or indirectly, 100.0% of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). In addition, we have elected for Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”).
Gladstone Management Corporation (our “Adviser”) manages our real estate portfolio pursuant to an advisory agreement, and Gladstone Administration, LLC (our “Administrator”), provides administrative services to us pursuant to an administration agreement. Our Adviser and our Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and directly pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses.
Portfolio Diversification
Our farmland portfolio currently consists of 168 farms leased to 94 different, unrelated third-party tenants who grow over 60 different types of crops on our farms. Our investment focus is in farmland suitable for growing either fresh produce annual row crops (e.g., certain berries and vegetables) or certain permanent crops (e.g., almonds, blueberries, pistachios, and wine grapes), with an ancillary focus on farmland growing certain commodity crops (e.g., beans and corn).
The following table summarizes the different geographic locations (by state) of our farms owned as of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

(1)According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across six of these growing regions.
Leases
General
Most of our leases are on a triple-net basis, an arrangement under which, in addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the related taxes, insurance costs, maintenance, and other operating costs. Our leases generally have original terms ranging from 3 to 10 years for farms growing row crops and 7 to 15 years for farms growing permanent crops (in each case, often with options to extend the lease further). Rent is generally payable to us in advance on either an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, with such rent typically subject to periodic escalation clauses as set forth within the lease. Currently, 103 of our farms are leased on a pure, triple-net basis, 49 farms are leased on a partial-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for all or a portion of the related property taxes), 3 farms are leased on a single-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for the related property taxes, as well as certain maintenance, repairs, or insurance costs), 1 farm is direct-operated, 1 farm is vacant, and 11 farms are held for sale (see below under “Recent Developments—Portfolio Activity—Existing Properties—Disposition Activity” for further discussion). Additionally, 29 of our farms are leased under agreements that include a variable rent component, called “participation rents,” that are based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms (though such leases generally include a guarantee of a minimum amount of rental income).
Lease Expirations
Agricultural leases are often shorter term in nature (relative to leases of other types of real estate assets), so in any given year, we may have multiple leases up for extension or renewal. The following table summarizes the lease expirations by year for the farms owned and with leases in place as of September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Year |  | Number of Expiring Leases(1) |  | Expiring Leased Acreage |  | % of Total Acreage |  | Lease Revenue for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 |  | % of Total Lease Revenue

(1)Certain lease agreements encompass multiple farms.
(2)Primarily consists of ancillary leases (e.g., renewable energy leases; oil, gas, and mineral leases; telecommunications leases; etc.) with varying expirations on certain of our farms.
We currently have nine agricultural leases scheduled to expire within the next six months. We are currently exploring a variety of options with certain of these properties, including negotiating lease terms with existing and prospective new tenants (potentially through an adjusted lease structure whereby we would decrease the fixed base rent amounts in exchange for increasing the participation rent component), discussing sale options with prospective buyers, and considering operating the properties ourselves via third-party management agreements. Regarding all vacancies and upcoming lease expirations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the existing leases or execute new leases at rental rates favorable to us, if at all, or be able to find replacement tenants, if necessary.
Recent Developments
Portfolio Activity—Existing Properties
Disposition Activity
In October 2024, we entered into agreements to sell 11 blueberry farms located in Allegan and Van Buren, Michigan, for total consideration of approximately $5.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. We currently expect these sales to be completed during the three months ending December 31, 2024.
Leasing Activity
The following table summarizes certain leasing activity that has occurred on our existing properties since July 1, 2024, through the date of this filing (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

|  |  |  | PRIOR LEASES |  | NEW LEASES(1)
Farm Locations | Number of Leases | Total Farm Acres |  | Total Annualized Straight-line Rent(2) | # of Leases with Participation Rents | Lease Structures (# of NNN / NN / N)(3) |  | Total Annualized Straight-line Rent(2) | Wtd. Avg. Term (Years) | # of Leases with Participation Rents | Lease Structures (# of NNN / NN / N)(3)
CA, DE, FL, MD, MI, OR, TX, & WA | 21 | 10,173 |  | $ | 13,550 |  | 4 | 13 / 4 / 4 |  | $ | 5,452 |  | 3.7 | 5 | 12 / 8 / 1

(1)In connection with certain of these leases, we committed to provide cash allowances or capital for certain operations and improvements on these farms, which are excluded in the figures above. See Note 3, “Real Estate and Intangible Assets—Intangible Assets and Liabilities,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements and “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Operating Commitments and Obligations—Operating Obligations” below for additional information on these and other commitments.
(2)Based on the minimum cash rental payments guaranteed under the applicable leases (presented on an annualized basis), as required under GAAP, and excludes contingent rental payments, such as participation rents. In executing certain lease renewals, particularly those on certain western permanent crop farms, we reduced or eliminated the base rent component in exchange for significantly increasing the participation rent component, the results of which will not be known until the second half of 2025.
(3)“NNN” refers to leases under triple-net lease arrangements, “NN” refers to leases under partial-net lease arrangements, and “N” refers to leases under single-net lease arrangements, in each case, as described above under “Leases—General.”
Vacant, Direct-operated, and Non-accrual Properties
During a portion of the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had 20 farms (5 in California, 13 in Michigan, 1 in Oregon, and 1 in Washington) that were either vacant, direct-operated (via management agreements with unrelated third parties), or on which lease revenues were recognized on a cash basis (due to credit issues with two tenants leading us to determine that the full collectability of the remaining rental payments under the respective leases was not deemed to be probable). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded lease revenue related to the aforementioned farms of approximately $778,000 (including no participation rents), as compared to approximately $2.1 million (including approximately $195,000 of participation rents) during the prior-year period.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into lease agreements with a new tenant on two farms in Michigan, and subsequent to September 30, 2024, we entered into agreements to sell the remaining 11 farms in Michigan, which we anticipate closing during the three months ending December 31, 2024.
Currently, 1 farm (in Washington) is vacant, 1 farm (in Oregon) is direct-operated, 5 farms (in California) are on non-accrual status, and 11 farms (in Michigan) are held for sale. Regarding vacant and direct-operated farms, we are exploring both leasing and selling options, and we are in discussions with both potential tenants and potential buyers for these farms. We currently expect to enter into lease or sale agreements within the next six months with respect to each of these farms; however, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to reach lease or sale agreements with tenants or buyers at favorable terms, or at all. Regarding the properties currently on non-accrual status, we are continuing to work with each of the tenants and will seek to come to an agreement for the remaining rental payments, if possible. Such agreement, if one can be reached, may include placing the tenant on a payment plan, deferring a portion of the rent owed to us, or agreeing to terminate the lease. In the event
27

of a termination, we estimate that we would be able to find new tenants to lease each of these properties to at market rental rates within 1 to 12 months.
Water Asset Acquisitions
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased a total of 2,260 gross acre-feet of water from Byron-Bethany Irrigation District (“BBID”), a multi-county water district located in Contra Costa County, California, for the 2024 water year for a total purchase price (including commissions and other closing costs) of approximately $883,000, or approximately $391 per gross acre-foot. This water was purchased pursuant to a water transfer agreement we entered into with BBID in October 2023, whereby we may elect to purchase up to 15,000 acre-feet of water per water year during years in which BBID has a surplus supply of water through February 28, 2031. This water is expected to be recognized in our account with the local water district within the next six months, net of standard losses, as may be applicable.
We currently own a total of 53,787 acre-feet of long-term water assets, and our investments in these long-term water assets have an aggregate carrying value of approximately $36.8 million.
Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes
In September and October 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused widespread destruction across many states in the Southeastern U.S., including areas where several of our farms are located.
As a result of Hurricane Helene in September 2024, one of our farms in Georgia suffered damage to certain permanent plantings on the farm, and we estimated the carrying value of such plantings to be approximately $275,000. As such, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we wrote down the carrying value of these plantings and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss, included within Property and casualty loss, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in the region suffered minor damage as a result of Hurricane Helene, but no other farms were materially impacted.
As a result of Hurricane Milton in October 2024, a portion of a cooling facility located on one of our farms in Florida suffered minor water damage. We are unable to estimate the extent of the damage at this time; however, we do not expect the cost of repairs to be material, and we expect the damage to be fully covered by insurance. We are still assessing the overall impact of Hurricane Milton. While planting may be slightly delayed, we do not expect any material impact to our farms or our tenants’ operations as a result of Hurricane Milton.
Financing Activity
Debt Activity—Loan Repayments
From July 1, 2024, through the date of this filing, we repaid approximately $13.3 million of loans that were scheduled to either mature or reprice. On a weighted-average basis, these borrowings bore interest at a stated rate of 4.28% and an effective rate (after interest patronage, where applicable) of 3.33%.
Equity Activity
Series E Preferred Stock
On November 9, 2022, we filed a prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for a continuous public offering (the “Series E Offering”) of up to 8,000,000 shares of our newly-designated 5.00% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through Gladstone Securities at an offering price of $25.00 per share. See Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement,” for a discussion of the commissions and fees to be paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the Series E Offering.
The following table summarizes the sales of our Series E Preferred Stock that occurred from July 1, 2024, through the date of this filing (dollars in thousands):

Number of Shares Sold |  | Weighted-average Offering Price Per Share |  | Gross Proceeds |  | Net Proceeds(1)
3,595 |  | $ | 24.89 |  |  | $ | 89 |  |  | $ | 81 |

(1)Net of underwriting discounts, selling commissions, and dealer-manager fees borne by us. Aggregate selling commissions and dealer-manager fees paid to Gladstone Securities as a result of these sales was approximately $9,000.
28

The Series E Offering will terminate on the date (the “Series E Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) December 31, 2025 (unless terminated or extended by our Board of Directors), and (ii) the date on which all 8,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock offered in the Series E Offering are sold. There is currently no public market for shares of Series E Preferred Stock. We intend to apply to list the Series E Preferred Stock on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange within one calendar year of the Series E Termination Date; however, there can be no assurance that a listing will be achieved in such timeframe, or at all.
Common Stock—At-the-Market Program
On May 12, 2020, we entered into equity distribution agreements with Virtu Americas, LLC, and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. (each a “Sales Agent”), that, as subsequently amended, permitted us to issue and sell, from time to time and through the Sales Agents, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $260.0 million (the “ATM Program”). On April 13, 2023, we entered into separate amended and restated equity distribution agreements with the Sales Agents to allow us to sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million.
The following table summarizes the activity under the ATM Program from July 1, 2024, through the date of this filing (dollars in thousands):

Number of Shares Sold |  | Weighted-average Offering Price Per Share |  | Gross Proceeds |  | Net Proceeds(1)
346,216 |  | $ | 13.52 |  |  | $ | 4,680 |  |  | $ | 4,633 |

(1)Net of underwriting commissions.
Repurchase Program
On May 17, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our 6.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and up to $35.0 million of our 6.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and, collectively, the “Repurchase Program”). The Board’s authorization of the Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time, does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of securities, and expires on May 17, 2025. Under the Repurchase Program, repurchases are intended to be implemented through open market transactions on U.S. exchanges and/or in privately-negotiated transactions facilitated by a third-party broker acting as agent for us in accordance with applicable securities laws. Any repurchases will be made during applicable trading window periods or pursuant to applicable Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
The following table summarizes repurchase activity under the Repurchase Program that occurred from July 1, 2024, through the date of this filing (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Impact of Inflation and Interest Rates
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (“CPI”) grew at an annual rate of 2.4% through September 30, 2024, as overall inflation continued to ease from the peak levels experienced in the summer of 2022, when it reached the highest rates seen in over 40 years. The increase in food prices has also slowed but has generally kept pace with the rate of inflation until the past few months, as the overall food segment increased at an annual rate of 2.3% through September 30, 2024. In addition, according to the NCREIF Farmland Index, which, as of September 30, 2024, consisted of approximately $16.5 billion of farms across the U.S., the total return on U.S. farmland (including appreciation and income) was 2.6% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024. Despite the slowdown of increased food prices in recent months, prices remain high, as the food segment has increased by 18.0% over the past three years, outpacing overall CPI of 14.9% over the
29

same time period. Although our far m operators have experienced increases in input costs, we believe such increases will be somewhat mitigated to the extent that food price increases continue to outpace or keep pace with the rate of inflation.
After holding rates flat since July 2023, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in four years in September 2024, reducing its benchmark funds rate by 50 basis points and marking what many believe to be the beginning of a new monetary easing policy. This rate cut came on the heels of data indicating a slowing U.S. economy, including cooling inflation and a weaker labor market. However, since the September meeting, U.S. Treasury yields have spiked amidst stronger-than-expected U.S. macroeconomic data. Despite this, most still expect the Federal Reserve to continue cutting rates throughout the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, though the timing and extent of such rate cuts, if any, remains uncertain. As a result of this uncertainty, interest rates remain somewhat volatile. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury Note still remains well above 4.0%, and, as a result, interest rates on long-term financing continue to be high, thus limiting our ability to finance new acquisitions on favorable terms.
Over 99.9% of our borrowings are currently at fixed rates, and on a weighted-average basis, these rates are fixed at an effective interest rate of 3.40% for another 3.7 years. As such, with respect to our current borrowings, we have experienced minimal impact from the higher interest rates experienced over the past couple of years, and we believe we are well-protected against a prolonged period of elevated interest rates, which remains a possibility.
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator (both affiliates of ours), which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. The current investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and the current administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) were each approved unanimously by our board of directors, including, specifically, our independent directors.
A summary of certain compensation terms within the Advisory Agreement and a summary of the Administration Agreement is below.
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Adviser is compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties, as is common in other externally-managed REITs. The base management and incentive fees are described below. For information on the capital gains and termination fees, refer to Note 6, “Related-Party Transactions—Our Adviser and Administrator—Advisory Agreement,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Base Management Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a base management fee is paid quarterly and is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% (0.15% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by us (including land and land improvements, permanent plantings, irrigation and drainage systems, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on our balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular quarter exceeded a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity.
For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends declared on preferred stock securities that were not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. In addition, Total Adjusted Common Equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity plus non-controlling common interests in our Operating Partnership, if any (each as reported on our balance sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items.
Our Adviser would receive: (i) no incentive Fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO did not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeded the hurdle rate but was less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).
Administration Agreement
30

Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, general counsel and secretary (who also serves as our Administrator’s president, general counsel, and secretary), and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the purposes of the following discussions on certain operating revenues and expenses with regard to the comparison between the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
•Same-property basis represents farms owned as of June 30, 2023, which were not vacant or direct-operated at any point during either period presented and full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases was deemed probable during the entirety of both periods;
•Properties acquired or disposed of are farms that were either acquired or disposed of at any point subsequent to June 30, 2023. From July 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, we did not acquire any new farms and had one farm disposition; and
•Vacant, direct-operated, or non-accrual properties are:
◦Farms that were vacant (either wholly or partially) at any point during either period presented;
◦Farms that were direct-operated at any point during either period presented; and
◦Farms with leases where revenue was recognized on a cash basis during either period presented (rather than a straight-line basis) due to full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases deemed not to be probable as a result of tenant credit issues.
From July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, we had 23 farms which were either vacant, direct-operated, or placed on non-accrual during all or a portion of either period.
For the purposes of the following discussions on certain operating revenues and expenses with regard to the comparison between the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:
•Same-property basis represents farms owned as of December 31, 2022, which were not vacant or direct-operated at any point during either period presented and full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases was deemed probable during the entirety of both periods;
•Properties acquired or disposed of are farms that were either acquired or disposed of at any point subsequent to December 31, 2022. From January 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, we did not acquire any new farms and had one farm disposition; and
•Vacant, direct-operated, or non-accrual properties are:
◦Farms that were vacant (either wholly or partially) at any point during either period presented;
◦Farms that were direct-operated at any point during either period presented; and
◦Farms with leases where revenue was recognized on a cash basis during either period presented (rather than a straight-line basis) due to full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases deemed not to be probable as a result of tenant credit issues.
From January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, we had 25 farms which were either vacant, direct-operated, or placed on non-accrual during all or a portion of either period.

(1)Tenant reimbursements generally represent tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses on certain of our farms, including property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses. Similar amounts are also recorded as property operating expenses during the respective periods.
Same-property Basis – 2024 compared to 2023
Lease revenues from fixed lease payments decreased primarily due to the execution of certain lease agreements in 2024, pursuant to which we agreed to reduce the fixed base rent amounts in exchange for increasing the participation rent components in the leases, the majority of which will be realized in 2025. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in fixed lease payments attributable to the accelerated recognition of certain deferred rent asset balances attributable to the shortening of the expected lease terms associated with leases on three of our farms, additional rents earned on capital improvements completed on certain of our farms, and recent lease renewals.
The amount of lease revenues from participation rents is largely dependent upon when certain information is made available to allow us to determine such amounts to be reasonably estimable and thus recorded. Based on the participation rents recorded thus far, the increase was primarily driven by stronger production (i.e., pounds per acre) on certain pistachio farms, partly due to the alternate-bearing nature of such tree crops.
Other – 2024 compared to 2023
Lease revenue from properties acquired or disposed of decreased due to the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Florida on January 11, 2024.
Lease revenue from vacant, direct-operated, or non-accrual properties decreased primarily due to revenues from certain of our leases being recognized on a cash basis during a portion of the current-year periods (rather than a straight-line basis), due to full collectability of future rental payments under the respective leases deemed not to be probable as a result of tenant credit issues. In addition, certain of our farms were either direct-operated (on a temporary basis via management agreements with unrelated third-parties) or vacant for portions of each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease in lease revenue from vacant, direct-operated, or non-accrual properties was partially offset by cash collections (in part or in whole) from tenants occupying certain of these properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The fluctuations in tenant reimbursement revenue are primarily driven by payments made by certain tenants on our behalf (pursuant to the lease agreements) to unconsolidated entities of ours that convey water to the respective properties. As such, the timing of tenant reimbursement revenue fluctuates as payments are made by our tenants. Amounts recorded during the current-year periods include increased reimbursements from certain tenants for costs to deliver water to their farms via a pipeline owned by an unconsolidated entity of ours.
Other Operating Revenue
Other operating revenue consists of non-lease revenue generated as a result of activities performed on certain of our properties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $0 and $453,000, respectively, of non-cash revenue associated with the transfer and storing of surplus water on behalf of a government municipality using a groundwater recharge facility constructed on one of our farms. See Note 3, “Real Estate and Intangible Assets—Investments in Water Assets,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Operating Expenses
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to the disposition of certain assets, including the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Florida in the first quarter of 2024, and certain other assets reaching the end of their useful lives. This decrease was partially offset by additional depreciation expense associated with new capital improvements made on certain of our farms.
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses consist primarily of real estate taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous operating expenses paid for certain of our properties. The following table provides a summary of the property-operating expenses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

| For the Three Months Ended September 30, |  | For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

(1)Represents certain operating expenses (property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses) paid by us that, per the respective leases, are required to be reimbursed to us by the tenant. Similar amounts are also recorded as lease revenue when earned in accordance with the lease.
Same-property Basis – 2024 compared to 2023
Property operating expenses increased primarily due to additional property taxes paid by us on behalf of one of our tenants who terminated their lease during the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, this increase was partially offset by a decrease in legal fees and other costs incurred in connection with protecting water rights on certain farms in California, as well as a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense incurred during the prior-year period as a result of minor damage at certain farms caused by natural disasters.
Other – 2024 compared to 2023
Property operating expenses on properties acquired or disposed of decreased due to the sale of one farm in Florida, as discussed elsewhere.
Property operating expenses attributable to vacant, direct-operated, or non-accrual properties increased primarily due to additional property management fees incurred on certain farms that were direct-operated for a portion of the current year-periods (via management agreements with unrelated third-parties) and additional property taxes incurred on those farms. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, this increase was also attributable to an increase in legal fees incurred in connection with rent collection or lease termination efforts on certain farms that were direct-operated or on non-accrual status.
The fluctuations in tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses are primarily driven by miscellaneous property operating costs incurred by us in connection with our ownership interests in certain unconsolidated entities, for which our tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse us under the terms of the respective leases. Such expenses will fluctuate commensurate with the timing and amount of miscellaneous operating costs incurred by the underlying entities. Amounts recorded during the current-year periods include additional costs to deliver water to certain of our farms via a pipeline owned by an unconsolidated entity of ours, which costs were reimbursed to us by our tenants.

35

The base management fee decreased due to the disposition of certain assets since December 31, 2022, largely driven by the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Florida in the first quarter of 2024.
Our Adviser earned an incentive fee during each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 due to our Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceeding the required hurdle rate of the applicable equity base during the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. However, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, our Adviser granted us a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiver to be applied against the entire incentive fee earned in the third quarter of 2024.
The administration fee paid to our Administrator increased primarily due to us using a higher overall share of our Administrator’s resources in relation to those used by other funds and affiliated companies serviced by our Administrator.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees, director fees, stockholder-related expenses, overhead insurance, acquisition-related costs for investments no longer being pursued, and other miscellaneous expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to additional expenses incurred in the prior year related to the listing of the Series C Preferred Stock on Nasdaq and acquisition-related costs for investments no longer being pursued.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of approximately $2.1 million on portions of 4 properties (encompassing a total of 11 farms) located in Allegan and Van Buren, Michigan, due to the estimated fair values being lower than the respective carrying values.

Other (Expense) Income
Other income generally consists of interest patronage received from Farm Credit (as defined in Note 4, “Borrowings,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and interest earned on short-term investments. Other income decreased primarily due to less interest patronage received from Farm Credit (primarily due to decreased borrowings from Farm Credit), partially offset by an increase in additional interest earned on short-term investments due to higher interest rates.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded approximately $1.9 million of interest patronage from Farm Credit related to interest accrued during 2023, as compared to approximately $2.3 million of interest patronage recorded during the prior-year period that related to interest accrued during 2022. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we received approximately $111,000 of interest patronage related to interest accrued during 2023, as certain Farm Credit associations paid a portion of 2023 interest patronage (which is typically paid during the first half of 2024) early. In total, 2023 interest patronage resulted in a 22.0% reduction (approximately 101 basis points) to the interest rate of such borrowings.
Interest expense decreased, primarily due to a decrease in overall borrowings. The weighted-average principal balance of our aggregate borrowings (excluding our cumulative term preferred stock) outstanding for the three and nine months ended
37

September 30, 2024, was approximately $540.9 million and $550.6 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $589.5 million and $600.5 million for the respective prior-year periods. Excluding interest patronage received on certain of our Farm Credit borrowings and the impact of debt issuance costs, the weighted-average interest rate charged on our aggregate borrowings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was 3.83% and 3.82%, respectively, as compared to 3.81% and 3.79% for the respective prior-year periods.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net capital gain, driven by the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Martin County, Florida, for approximately $65.7 million, which after accounting for closing costs, resulted in a net gain of approximately $10.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a net capital gain, driven by the sale of a 138-acre parcel of unfarmed land in Florida for $9.6 million, which, after accounting for closing costs, resulted in a net gain of approximately $6.4 million. The net losses recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 related to the removal of some permanent plantings and the disposal of certain irrigation and other improvements on certain of our farms.
The net property and casualty loss relates to net expenses incurred and insurance recoveries received for certain improvements that were damaged due to natural disasters. The property and casualty loss recorded during three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to damage caused by Hurricane Helene to certain permanent plants on one of our farms in Georgia. T he property and casualty loss recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to the heavy rainfall that occurred in California in early 2023 and the resulting flooding, which damaged certain structures located on one of our farms in the Central Valley.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our current short- and long-term sources of funds include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, borrowings (including the undrawn commitments available under our credit facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”)), and issuances of additional equity securities. Our current available liquidity is approximately $164.4 million, consisting of approximately $19.8 million in cash on hand and, based on the current level of collateral pledged, approximately $144.6 million of availability under our credit facility with MetLife (subject to compliance with covenants) and other undrawn lines of credit, notes, or bonds. In addition, we currently have certain properties valued at a total of approximately $159.8 million that are unencumbered and eligible to be pledged as collateral.
Over 99.9% of our borrowings are currently at fixed rates, and on a weighted-average basis, these rates are fixed at an effective interest rate of 3.40% for another 3.7 years. In addition, the weighted-average remaining term of our notes and bonds payable is approximately 8.2 years. As such, with respect to our current borrowings, we have experienced minimal impact from increased interest rates in recent years, and we believe we are well-protected against a prolonged high rate environment. We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants under our respective credit facilities and borrowings, and we believe we currently have adequate liquidity to cover all near- and long-term debt obligations and operating expenses.
Future Capital Needs
Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of making principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings; funding our general operating costs; making dividend payments on our currently-designated preferred securities; making distributions to common stockholders (including non-controlling OP Unitholders, if any) to maintain our qualification as a REIT; and, as capital is available, funding capital improvements on existing farms, repurchasing shares of preferred stock under our Repurchase Program, and funding new farmland and farm-related acquisitions consistent with our investment strategy.
In the near term, we believe that our current and short-term cash resources will be sufficient to service our debt, fund our current level of operating costs, pay dividends on our currently-designated preferred securities, and fund our distributions to common stockholders (including non-controlling OP Unitholders). We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including capacity under current lines of credit, long-term mortgage indebtedness and bond issuances, future equity issuances (including, but not limited to, shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, OP Units through our Operating Partnership as consideration for future acquisitions, and shares of common stock through our ATM Program), and other secured and unsecured borrowings.
We intend to use a significant portion of any current and future available liquidity to purchase additional farms and farm-related facilities as opportunities arise. We continue to actively seek and evaluate acquisitions of additional farms and farm-related facilities that satisfy our investment criteria, and we have several properties that are in various stages of our due diligence process. However, all potential acquisitions will be subject to our due diligence investigation of such properties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying or acquiring any properties in the future.

Operating Commitments and Obligations
Operating Obligations
In connection with the execution of certain lease agreements, we have committed to provide capital improvements on certain of our farms. Below is a summary of certain of those projects for which we have incurred or accrued costs as September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

(1)Our obligation to provide capital to fund these improvements does not extend beyond these respective dates.
(2)Pursuant to contractual agreements, we will earn additional rent on the cost of these capital improvements as the funds are disbursed by us.
Ground Lease Obligations
In connection with certain farms acquired through a leasehold interest, we assumed certain ground lease arrangements under which we are the lessee. Future minimum lease payments due under the remaining non-cancelable terms of these leases as of September 30, 2024, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Period |  | Future Lease Payments(1)
For the remaining three months ending December 31: | 2024 |  | $ | 40 |  |  |
For the fiscal years ending December 31: | 2025 |  | 62 |  |  |
| 2026 |  | 62 |  |  |
| 2027 |  | 62 |  |  |
| 2028 |  | 62 |  |  |
| Thereafter |  | 631 |  |  |
Total undiscounted lease payments | 919 |  |  |
Less: imputed interest | (374) |  |  |
Present value of lease payments | $ | 545 |  |  |

(1)Certain annual lease payments are set at the beginning of each year to then-current market rates (as determined by the lessor). The amounts shown above represent estimated amounts based on the lease rates currently in place.
As a result of these ground leases, we recorded lease expense of approximately $27,000 and $79,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $26,000 and $77,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Cash Flow Resources
The following table summarizes total net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

| For the Nine Months Ended September 30, |  |  |  |
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | $ Change |  | % Change
Net change in cash from: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities | $ | 17,966 |  |  | $ | 22,657 |  |  | $ | (4,691) |  |  | (20.7) | %
Investing activities | 60,039 |  |  | (1,086) |  |  | 61,125 |  |  | (5,628.5) | %
Financing activities | (83,363) |  |  | (57,632) |  |  | (25,731) |  |  | 44.6 | %
Net change in Cash and cash equivalents | $ | (5,358) |  |  | $ | (36,061) |  |  | $ | 30,703 |  |  | (85.1) | %

Operating Activities
The majority of cash from operating activities is generated from the rental payments we receive from our tenants, which is first used to fund our property-level operating expenses, with any excess cash being primarily used for principal and interest
39

payments on our borrowings, management fees to our Adviser, administrative fees to our Administrator, and other corporate-level expenses. Cash provided by operating activities decreased largely due to a decrease in fixed lease cash payments received (primarily due to the disposition of one farm in Florida, as well as reduced fixed lease payments attributable to those farms which were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual basis during the current-year period), the payment of certain cash allowances provided for in three leases that were executed during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and an increase in cash payments made towards the acquisition of water assets. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in cash payments received towards participation rent and a decrease in related party fees and interest payments made.
Investing Activities
The change in cash from investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Florida for approximately $65.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which resulted in a net gain of approximately $10.4 million, and a decrease in the amount of cash paid for capital improvements on existing farms during the current-year period.
Financing Activities
The change in cash from financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in aggregate net cash proceeds received from preferred and common equity offerings of approximately $19.9 million, as well as increases in aggregate preferred stock repurchases of approximately $5.4 million and debt repayments of approximately $1.1 million.
Debt Capital
MetLife Facility
As amended, our credit facility with MetLife currently consists of $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit and an aggregate of $175.0 million of term notes (the “MetLife Facility”). We currently have $200,000 outstanding under the lines of credit and $36.9 million outstanding on the term notes. While $212.9 million of the full commitment amount under the MetLife Facility remains undrawn, based on the level of collateral pledged, we currently have approximately $110.2 million of availability under the MetLife Facility. The revolving equity lines of credit mature on December 15, 2033, and the draw period for both term notes expires on December 31, 2024, after which MetLife has no obligation to disburse any additional undrawn funds under the term notes. We have been in discussions with MetLife to extend the draw periods for the term notes and currently expect to have an agreement finalized by the end of 2024.
Farmer Mac Facility
As amended, our agreement with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) currently provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $225.0 million (the “Farmer Mac Facility”) by December 31, 2026, after which Farmer Mac has no obligation to purchase additional bonds under this facility. To date, we have issued aggregate bonds of approximately $100.1 million under the Farmer Mac Facility.
Farm Credit and Other Lenders
Since September 2014, we have closed on multiple loans with various different Farm Credit associations (for additional information on these associations, see Note 4, “Borrowings,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements). We also have borrowing relationships with several other agricultural lenders and are continuously reaching out to other lenders to establish prospective new relationships. As such, we expect to enter into additional borrowing agreements with existing and new lenders in connection with certain potential new acquisitions in the future.
Equity Capital
The following table provides information on equity sales that occurred since January 1, 2024 (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Type of Issuance |  | Number of Shares Sold |  | Weighted-average Offering Price Per Share |  | Gross Proceeds |  | Net Proceeds(1)
Series E Preferred Stock |  | 15,735 |  | $ | 24.98 |  |  | $ | 393 |  |  | $ | 354 |
Common Stock – ATM Program |  | 346,216 |  | 13.52 |  |  | 4,680 |  |  | 4,633 |

(1)Net of selling commissions and dealer-manager fees or underwriting discounts and commissions (in each case, as applicable).
Our 2023 Registration Statement (as defined in Note 8, “Equity—Registration Statement,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through
40

separate, concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. To date, we have issued approximately $4.4 million of Series E Preferred Stock and $6.8 million of common stock under the 2023 Registration Statement.
In addition, we have the ability to, and expect to in the future, issue additional OP Units to third parties as consideration in future property acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, and Adjusted Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed funds from operations (“FFO”) as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the same basis as determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We further present core FFO (“CFFO”) and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) as additional non-GAAP financial measures of our operational performance, as we believe both CFFO and AFFO improve comparability on a period-over-period basis and are more useful supplemental metrics for investors to use in assessing our operational performance on a more sustainable basis than FFO. We believe that these additional performance metrics, along with the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, provide investors with helpful insight regarding how management measures our ongoing performance, as each of CFFO and AFFO (and their respective per-share amounts) are used by management and our board of directors, as appropriate, in assessing overall performance, as well as in certain decision-making analysis, including, but not limited to, the timing of acquisitions and potential equity raises (and the type of securities to offer in any such equity raises), the determination of any fee credits, and declarations of distributions on our common stock. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that net income is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO.
Specifically, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in better understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, as we believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, particularly with farmland real estate, the value of which does not diminish in a predictable manner over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. Further, we believe that CFFO and AFFO are helpful in understanding our operating performance in that it removes certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable on a period-over-period basis and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance. In addition, we believe that providing CFFO and AFFO as additional performance metrics allows investors to gauge our overall performance in a manner that is more similar to how our performance is measured by management (including their respective per-share amounts), as well as by analysts and the overall investment community.
We calculate CFFO by adjusting FFO for the following items:
•Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses. Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses (including due diligence costs on acquisitions not consummated and certain auditing and accounting fees incurred that were directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions) are incurred for investment purposes and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our existing portfolio. Further, certain auditing and accounting fees incurred vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions or dispositions completed during the period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred and how they have historically been treated for accounting purposes, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis.
•Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-recurring charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. We believe the exclusion of these amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply consistent definitions of CFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.
Further, we calculate AFFO by adjusting CFFO for the following items:
•Rent adjustments. This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and certain non-cash lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, certain other deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. In addition to these adjustments, we also modify the calculation of cash rents within our definition of AFFO to provide greater consistency and comparability due to the period-to-period volatility in which cash rents are
41

received. To coincide with our tenants’ harvest seasons, our leases typically provide for cash rents to be paid at various points throughout the lease year, usually annually or semi-annually. As a result, cash rents received during a particular period may not necessarily be comparable to other periods or represent the cash rents indicative of a given lease year. Therefore, we further adjust AFFO to normalize the cash rent received pertaining to a lease year over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we adjusted our definition of AFFO to exclude from this adjustment the removal of lease incentives that were a result of previous cash disbursements made by us to or on behalf of our tenants. The results of all periods presented, including those of the prior year, have been adjusted in the table below to conform with this new definition.
•Amortization of debt issuance costs. The amortization of costs incurred to obtain financing is excluded from AFFO, as it is a non-cash expense item that is not directly related to the operating performance of our properties.
•Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-cash charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. We believe the exclusion of such non-cash amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply consistent definitions of AFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.
We believe the foregoing adjustments aid our investors’ understanding of our ongoing operational performance.
FFO, CFFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparisons of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, using the NAREIT definition for FFO and the definitions above for CFFO and AFFO, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the definitions used by such REITs.
Diluted funds from operations (“Diluted FFO”), diluted core funds from operations (“Diluted CFFO”), and diluted adjusted funds from operations (“Diluted AFFO”) per share are FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, respectively, divided by the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding on a fully-diluted basis during a period. We believe that diluted earnings per share is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share. Because many REITs provide Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs.
We believe that FFO, CFFO, and AFFO and Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and EPS in evaluating net income.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share, using the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling OP Unitholders) outstanding during the respective periods (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Net Asset Value
Real estate companies are required to record real estate using the historical cost basis of the real estate, adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization, and, as a result, the carrying value of the real estate does not typically change as the fair value of the assets change. Thus, one challenge is determining the fair value of the real estate in order to allow stockholders to see the value of the real estate increase or decrease over time, which we believe is useful to our investors.
Determination of Fair Value
Our Board of Directors reviews and approves the valuations of our properties pursuant to a valuation policy approved by our Board of Directors (the “Valuation Policy”). Such review and approval occurs in three phases: (i) prior to its quarterly meetings, the Board of Directors receives written valuation recommendations and supporting materials that are provided by professionals of the Adviser and Administrator, with oversight and direction from the chief valuation officer, who is also employed by the Administrator (collectively, the “Valuation Team”); (ii) the valuation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Valuation Committee”), which is comprised entirely of independent directors, meets to review the valuation recommendations and supporting materials; and (iii) after the Valuation Committee concludes its meeting, it and the chief valuation officer
43

present the Valuation Committee’s findings to the entire Board of Directors so that the full Board of Directors may review and approve the fair values of our properties in accordance with the Valuation Policy. Further, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors reviews the Valuation Policy to determine if changes thereto are advisable and also reviews whether the Valuation Team has applied the Valuation Policy consistently.
Per the Valuation Policy, our valuations are generally derived based on the following:
•For properties acquired within 12 months prior to the date of valuation, the purchase price of the property will generally be used as the current fair value unless overriding factors apply. In situations where OP Units are issued as partial or whole consideration in connection with the acquisition of a property, the fair value of the property will generally be the lower of: (i) the agreed-upon purchase price between the seller and the buyer (as shown in the purchase and sale agreement or contribution agreement and using the agreed-upon pricing of the OP Units, if applicable), or (ii) the value as determined by an independent, third-party appraiser.
•For real estate we acquired more than one year prior to the date of valuation, we determine the fair value either by relying on estimates provided by independent, third-party appraisers or through an internal valuation process. In addition, if significant capital improvements take place on a property, we will typically have those properties reappraised upon completion of the project by an independent, third-party appraiser. In any case, we intend to have each property valued by an independent, third-party appraiser via a full appraisal at least once every three years, with interim values generally being determined by either: (i) a restricted appraisal (a “desk appraisal”) performed by an independent, third-party appraiser, or (ii) our internal valuation process.
Various methodologies were used, both by the appraisers and in our internal valuations, to determine the fair value of our real estate, including the sales comparison, income capitalization (or a discounted cash flow analysis), and cost approaches of valuation. In performing their analyses, the appraisers typically (i) conducted site visits to the properties (where full appraisals were performed), (ii) discussed each property with our Adviser and reviewed property-level information, including, but not limited to, property operating data, prior appraisals (as available), existing lease agreements, farm acreage, location, access to water and water rights, potential for future development, and other property-level information, and (iii) reviewed information from a variety of sources about regional market conditions applicable to each of our properties, including, but not limited to, recent sale prices of comparable farmland, market rents for similar farmland, estimated marketing and exposure time, market capitalization rates, and the current economic environment, among others. In performing our internal valuations, we will consider the most recent appraisal available and use similar methodologies in determining an updated fair value. We will also obtain updated market data related to the property, such as updated sales and market rent comparisons and market capitalization rates, and perform an updated assessment of the tenants’ credit risk profiles, among others. Sources of this data may come from market inputs from recent acquisitions of our own portfolio of real estate, recent appraisals of properties we own that are similar in nature and in the same region (as applicable) as the property being valued, market conditions and trends we observe in our due diligence process, and conversations with appraisers, brokers, and farmers.
A breakdown of the methodologies used to value our properties and the aggregate value as of September 30, 2024, determined by each method is shown in the table below (dollars in thousands, except in footnotes):

Valuation Method |  | Number of Farms |  | Total Acres |  | Farm Acres |  | Acre-feet of Water |  | Net Cost Basis(1) |  | Current Fair Value |  | % of Total Fair Value
Purchase Price |  | — |  | — |  | — |  | 5,478 |  | $ | 1,288 |  |  | $ | 1,288 |  |  | 0.1%

Total |  | 168 |  | 111,836 |  | 92,397 |  | 53,787 |  | $ | 1,273,579 |  |  | $ | 1,462,362 |  |  | 100.0%

(1)Consists of the initial acquisition price (including the costs allocated to both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed), plus subsequent improvements and other capitalized costs paid for by us that were associated with the properties, and adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization.
(2)Appraisals performed between September 2023 and September 2024.
Some of the significant assumptions used by appraisers and the Valuation Team in valuing our portfolio as of September 30, 2024, include land values per farmable acre, market rental rates per farmable acre and the resulting net operating income (“NOI”) at the property level, and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions were applied on a farm-by-farm basis and were selected based on several factors, including comparable land sales, surveys of both existing and current market rates, discussions with other brokers and farmers, soil quality, size, location, and other factors deemed appropriate. A summary of these significant assumptions as of September 30, 2024, is provided in the following table:
44

|  | Appraisal Assumptions |  | Internal Valuation Assumptions
|  | Range (Low - High) |  | Weighted Average |  | Range (Low - High) |  | Weighted Average
Land Value (per farmable acre) |  | $708 – $128,519 |  | $ | 33,964 |  |  | $5,918 – $5,918 |  | $ | 5,918 |
Market NOI (per farmable acre) |  | $150 – $3,979 |  | $ | 1,786 |  |  | N/A |  | N/A
Market Capitalization Rate |  | 2.20% – 6.20% |  | 4.44% |  | N/A |  | N/A

Note: Figures in the table above apply only to the farmland portion of our portfolio and exclude assumptions made relating to farm-related facilities (e.g., cooling facilities), and other structures on our properties (e.g., residential housing), as their aggregate value was considered to be insignificant in relation to that of the farmland.
Our Valuation Team reviews the appraisals, including the significant assumptions and inputs used in determining the appraised values, and considers any developments that may have occurred since the time the appraisals were performed. Developments considered that may have an impact on the fair value of our real estate include, but are not limited to, changes in tenant credit profiles, changes in lease terms (such as expirations and notices of non-renewals or to vacate), and potential asset sales (particularly those at prices different from the appraised values of our properties).
Management believes that the purchase prices of the farms acquired during the previous 12 months and the most recent appraisals available for the farms acquired prior to the previous 12 months fairly represent the current market values of the properties as of September 30, 2024, and, accordingly, did not make any adjustment to these values.
A quarterly roll-forward of the change in our portfolio value for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from the prior value basis as of June 30, 2024, is provided in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Total portfolio fair value as of June 30, 2024 |  | $ | 1,485,653 |  |

Total portfolio fair value as of September 30, 2024 |  | $ | 1,462,362 |  |

Management also determined fair values of all of its long-term borrowings and preferred stock. Using a discounted cash flow analysis, management determined that the fair value of all long-term encumbrances on our properties as of September 30, 2024, was approximately $500.0 million, as compared to a carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $533.1 million. The fair values of our Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series D Term Preferred Stock were determined using the closing stock prices as of September 30, 2024, of $22.77 per share, $21.80 per share, and $24.50 per share, respectively. Finally, pursuant to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2310(b)(5), with the assistance of a third-party valuation expert, we determined the estimated value of our Series E Preferred Stock to be $25.00 per share as of September 30, 2024 (see Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10-Q).
Calculation of Estimated Net Asset Value
To provide our stockholders with an estimate of the fair value of our real estate assets, we intend to estimate the fair value of our farms and farm-related properties and provide an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) on a quarterly basis. NAV is a non-GAAP, supplemental measure of financial position of an equity REIT and is calculated as total equity, adjusted for the increase or decrease in fair value of our real estate assets and long-term borrowings (including any preferred stock required to be treated as debt for GAAP purposes) relative to their respective cost bases. Further, we calculate NAV per common share by dividing NAV by our total common shares outstanding (consisting of our common stock and OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners).
The fair values presented above and their usage in the calculation of net asset value per share presented below have been prepared by and are the responsibility of management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has neither examined, compiled, nor performed any procedures with respect to the fair values or the calculation of net asset value per common share, which utilizes information that is not disclosed within the financial statements, and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
As of September 30, 2024, we estimate the NAV per common share to be $15.57. A reconciliation of NAV to total equity, which we believe is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, is provided below (dollars in thousands, except per-share data):

(1)Per Net Cost Basis as presented in the table above.
(2)Per Current Fair Value as presented in the table above.
(3)Includes the principal balances outstanding of all long-term borrowings (consisting of notes and bonds payable) and the Series D Term Preferred Stock.
(4)Long-term notes and bonds payable were valued using a discounted cash flow model. The Series D Term Preferred Stock was valued based on its closing stock price as of September 30, 2024.
(5)The Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock were valued based on their respective closing stock prices as of September 30, 2024, while the Series E Preferred Stock was valued at its liquidation value, as discussed above.
A quarterly roll-forward in the estimated NAV per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2024, is provided below:

Estimated NAV per common share and non-controlling OP Unit as of June 30, 2024 |  |  | $ | 17.59 |
Less net loss attributable to common stockholders and non-controlling OP Unitholders |  |  | (0.16) |
Adjustments for net change in valuations: |  |  |
Net change in unrealized fair value of farmland portfolio(1) | $ | (0.70) |  |  |
Net change in unrealized fair value of long-term indebtedness | (0.46) |  |  |
Net change in unrealized fair value of preferred equity securities | (0.48) |  |  |
Net change in valuations |  |  | (1.64) |
Less distributions on common stock and non-controlling OP Units |  |  | (0.14) |
Plus (less) net accretive (dilutive) effect of equity issuances and redemptions, net |  |  | (0.08) |
Estimated NAV per common share and non-controlling OP Unit as of September 30, 2024 |  |  | $ | 15.57 |

(1)The net change in unrealized fair value of our farmland portfolio consists of three components: (i) a decrease of $0.65 per share due to the net depreciation in value of the farms that were valued during the three months ended September 30, 2024, (ii) an increase of $0.25 per share due to the decrease in net book value of our real estate holdings as a result of the aggregate depreciation and amortization expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and (iii) a decrease of $0.30 per share due to capital improvements made on certain farms that have not yet been considered in the determination of the respective farms’ estimated fair values.
Comparison of estimated NAV and estimated NAV per common share, using the definitions above, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the calculation or application of the definition of NAV used by such REITs. In addition, the trading price of our common shares may differ significantly from our most recent estimated NAV per common share calculation. For example, while we estimated our NAV per common share to be $15.57 as of September 30, 2024, based on the calculation above, the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2024, was $13.90 per share.
The determination of estimated NAV is subjective and involves a number of assumptions, judgments, and estimates, and minor adjustments to these assumptions, judgments, or estimates may have a material impact on our overall portfolio valuation. In addition, many of the assumptions used are sensitive to market conditions and can change frequently. Changes in the market environment and other events that may occur during our ownership of these properties may cause the values reported above to vary from the actual fair value that may be obtained in the open market. Further, while management believes the values presented reflect current market conditions, the ultimate amount realized on any asset will be based on the timing of such dispositions and the then-current market conditions. There can be no assurance that the ultimate realized value upon disposition of an asset will approximate the estimated fair value above.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. The primary market risk that we believe we are and will be exposed to is interest rate risk. Certain of our existing leases contain escalations based on market indices, such as the consumer price index (“CPI”), and while very little of our existing borrowings are subject to variable interest rates, the interest rates on the majority of our fixed-rate borrowings are fixed for a finite period before converting to variable rate. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by including certain provisions in many of our leases, such as escalation clauses or adjusting the rent to prevailing market rents at various intervals, these features do not eliminate this risk.
Currently, over 99.9% of our borrowings are at fixed rates, and on a weighted-average basis, these rates are fixed at an effective interest rate (after interest patronage) of 3.40% for another 3.7 years. As such, with respect to our current borrowings, we believe fluctuations in interest rates would have a minimal impact on our net income. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings. As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings outstanding (excluding our Series D Term Preferred Stock) was approximately $500.0 million.
The following table summarizes the hypothetical change in fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings at September 30, 2024, if market interest rates had been one or two percentage points lower or higher than those rates in place as of September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Change in Market Interest Rates |  | Carrying Value(1) |  | Fair Value |  | Difference
2% decrease |  | $ | 533,060 |  |  | $ | 526,362 |  |  | $ | (6,698) |
1% decrease |  | 533,060 |  |  | 512,867 |  |  | (20,193) |
No change |  | 533,060 |  |  | 499,968 |  |  | (33,092) |
1% increase |  | 533,060 |  |  | 487,640 |  |  | (45,420) |
2% increase |  | 533,060 |  |  | 475,844 |  |  | (57,216) |

(1)Includes the principal balances outstanding of all long-term borrowings (consisting of notes and bonds payable), excluding unamortized debt issuance costs.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of additional borrowings used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our farmland investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or, in limited cases, at variable rates with the lowest margins available and, where available, with the ability to convert to fixed rates in the future. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and caps, to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the fair value of our farmland portfolio is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of our tenants. Materially adverse changes in the fair value of our real estate may affect our ability to refinance our debt, if necessary.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2024, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024, in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
47

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
