NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Five Point Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holding Company” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), is an owner and developer of mixed-use, master-planned communities in California. The Holding Company owns all of its assets and conducts all of its operations through Five Point Operating Company, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Company”), and its subsidiaries.
The Company has two classes of shares outstanding: Class A common shares and Class B common shares. Holders of Class A common shares and holders of Class B common shares are entitled to
one
vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, and are both entitled to receive distributions at the same time. However, the distributions paid to holders of our Class B common shares are in an amount per share equal to
0.0003
multiplied by the amount paid per Class A common share.
The diagram below presents a simplified depiction of the Company’s current organizational structure as of
March 31, 2019
:
(1) A wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company serves as the sole managing general partner of the Operating Company. As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company owned approximately
62.4%
of the outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. After a
one
year holding period, a holder of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company can exchange the units for, at the Company’s option, either Class A common shares of the Holding Company, on a
one
-for-one basis, or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company and all outstanding Class A units of The Shipyard Communities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “San Francisco Venture”) (see (2) below), that are not held by the Company, based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common shares on
April 30, 2019
(
$8.51
), the equity market capitalization of the Company was approximately
$1.3 billion
.
(2) The Operating Company owns all of the outstanding Class B units of the San Francisco Venture, the entity developing the Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard communities. The Class A units of the San Francisco Venture, which the Operating Company does not own, are intended to be economically equivalent to Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. As the holder of all outstanding Class B units, the Operating Company is entitled to receive
99%
of available cash from the San Francisco Venture after the holders of Class A units in the San Francisco Venture have received distributions equivalent to the distributions, if any, paid on Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. Class A units of the San Francisco Venture can be exchanged, on a
one
-for-one basis, for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company (See Note 5).
(3) Together, the Operating Company, Five Point Communities, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“FP LP”), and Five Point Communities Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FP Inc.” and together with FP LP, the “Management Company”) own 100% of Five Point Land, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FPL”), the entity developing Valencia (formerly known as Newhall Ranch), a master-planned community located in northern Los Angeles County, California. The Operating Company has a controlling interest in the Management Company.
(4) Interests in Heritage Fields LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Great Park Venture”), are either “Percentage Interests” or “Legacy Interests.” Holders of the Legacy Interests are entitled to receive priority distributions in an amount up to
$565.0 million
, of which
$355.0 million
had been distributed as of
April 30, 2019
. The Company owns a
37.5%
Percentage Interest in the Great Park Venture and serves as its administrative member. However, management of the Great Park Venture is vested in the
four
voting members, who have a total of
five
votes. Major decisions generally require the approval of at least
75%
of the votes of the voting members. The Company has
two
votes, and the other
three
voting members each have
one
vote, so the Company is unable to approve any major decision without the consent or approval of at least two of the other voting members. The Company does not include the Great Park Venture as a consolidated subsidiary, but rather as an equity method investee in its consolidated financial statements.
(5) The Company owns a
75%
interest in Five Point Office Venture Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Gateway Commercial Venture”). The Gateway Commercial Venture owns approximately
73
acres of commercial land in the Great Park Neighborhoods, on which
four
buildings have been newly constructed with an aggregate of approximately
one million
square feet of research and development and office space (the “Five Point Gateway Campus”). The Company manages the Gateway Commercial Venture, however, the manager’s authority is limited. Major decisions by the Gateway Commercial Venture generally require unanimous approval by an executive committee composed of two people designated by the Company and two people designated by another investor. Some decisions require approval by all of the members of the Gateway Commercial Venture. The Company does not include the Gateway Commercial Venture as a consolidated subsidiary, but rather as an equity method investee in its consolidated financial statements.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of consolidation
—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Holding Company and the accounts of all subsidiaries in which the Holding Company has a controlling interest and the consolidated accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Holding Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Unaudited interim financial information
—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Use of estimates
—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Miscellaneous other income
—Miscellaneous other income consisted of the following (in thousands):

In January 2018, the Tournament Players Club at Valencia Golf Course was sold for net cash proceeds of
$5.7 million
, and the buyer assumed of certain liabilities, including certain club membership related liabilities. The Company recognized a gain of
$6.7 million
as a result of the sale and such gain is included in miscellaneous other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
—In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13,
Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(“ASU No. 2016-13”)
which amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments, including most debt instruments, trade receivables and loans. ASU No. 2016-13 adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model known as the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses for instruments measured at amortized cost, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
—In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU No. 2018-07”) which simplifies the accounting of share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under ASU No. 2018-07, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees is aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees including the determination of the measurement date. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
(“ASU No. 2016-02”). This ASU generally requires that lessees recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for operating and financing leases and also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The FASB has issued multiple clarifications and updates since ASU No. 2016-02 that include, but is not limited to, the ability to elect practical expedients upon transition.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and the related ASUs that formed ASC Topic 842,
Leases,
on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Consequently, comparative prior periods presented in financial statements after adoption will continue to be in accordance with historical U.S. GAAP (Topic 840,
Leases)
. Upon transition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, whereby the Company did not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, the lease classification of existing leases and initial direct costs associated with those leases. Additionally, the Company has excluded recognition of short term leases on the balance sheet and did not separate lease and nonlease components for both lessee and lessor leases. Lease payments for short term
leases will continue to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 had a material impact on the Company's consolidated balance sheet but did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and statement of cash flows. The impact of adopting the new guidance primarily relates to (i) the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, and (ii) the requirement to provide more robust disclosure on the nature of the Company’s leases, cash flow impacts arising from leases and significant assumptions or judgments used by management to determine whether a contract contains a lease as well as a determination of the discount rate for a lease.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet from the adoption of the new lease guidance were as follows (in thousands):

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
were
$50.6 million
and
$57.3 million
, respectively. The increase of
$6.7 million
between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets primarily results from a timing difference between the Company’s recognition of revenue earned for the performance of management services and no contractual payments due from the customer during the period. The Company’s opening and closing contract liabilities for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
were insignificant.
As of
March 31, 2019
, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company’s partially unsatisfied performance obligations associated with the development management agreement with the Great Park Venture was
$57.3 million
. The Company will recognize this revenue ratably as services are provided over the remaining expected contract term, which terminates in December 2021, unless extended by mutual agreement by both the Company and the Great Park Venture.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Great Park Venture
The Great Park Venture has two classes of interests—“Percentage Interests” and “Legacy Interests.” Legacy Interest holders are entitled to receive priority distributions in an aggregate amount equal to
$476.0 million
and up to an additional
$89.0 million
from subsequent distributions of cash depending on the performance of the Great Park Venture. The holders of the Percentage Interests will receive all other distributions. The Operating Company owns
37.5%
of the Great Park Venture’s Percentage Interests as of
March 31, 2019
. The Great Park Venture has made distributions to the holders of Legacy Interests in the aggregate amount of
$355.0 million
as of
March 31, 2019
.
The Great Park Venture is the owner of Great Park Neighborhoods, a mixed-use, master planned community located in Orange County, California. The Company, through the Management Company, manages the planning, development and sale of the Great Park Neighborhoods and supervises the day-to-day affairs of the Great Park Venture. The Great Park Venture is managed by an executive committee of representatives appointed by only the holders of Percentage Interests. The Company does not control the actions of the executive committee.
The cost of the Company’s investment in the Great Park Venture is higher than the Company’s underlying equity in the carrying value of net assets of the Great Park Venture (basis difference). The Company’s earnings from the equity method investment are adjusted by amortization and accretion of the basis differences as the assets (mainly inventory) and liabilities that gave rise to the basis difference are sold, settled or amortized.

Gateway Commercial Venture
The Company owns a
75%
interest in the Gateway Commercial Venture as of
March 31, 2019
. The Gateway Commercial Venture is governed by an executive committee in which the Company is entitled to appoint
two
individuals. One of the other members of the Gateway Commercial Venture is also entitled to appoint
two
individuals to the executive committee. The unanimous approval of the executive committee is required for certain matters, which limits the Company’s ability to control the Gateway Commercial Venture. However, the Company is able to exercise significant influence and therefore accounts for its investment in the Gateway Commercial Venture using the equity method. The Company is the manager of the Gateway Commercial Venture, with responsibility to manage and administer its day-to-day affairs and implement a business plan approved by the executive committee.
The Gateway Commercial Venture owns the Five Point Gateway Campus located in Irvine, California and acquired the Five Point Gateway Campus through debt and capital funding. The debt obtained by the Gateway Commercial Venture is non-recourse to the Company other than in the case of customary “bad act” exceptions or bankruptcy or insolvency events.

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
The Holding Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is the managing general partner of the Operating Company. At
March 31, 2019
, the Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary owned approximately
62.4%
of the outstanding Class A Common Units and
100%
of the outstanding Class B Common Units of the Operating Company. The Holding Company consolidates the financial results of the Operating Company and its subsidiaries, and records a noncontrolling interest for the remaining
37.6%
of the outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company.
After a
12
month holding period, holders of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company may exchange their units for, at the Company’s option, either (i) Class A common shares on a
one
-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in the event of share splits, distributions of shares, warrants or share rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events), or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the market value of such shares at the time of exchange. Whether such units are acquired by the Company in exchange for Class A common shares or for cash, if the holder also owns Class B common shares, then an equal number of that holder’s Class B common shares will automatically convert into Class A common shares, at a ratio of
0.0003
Class A common shares for each Class B common share. This exchange right is currently exercisable by all holders of outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company.
The San Francisco Venture has
three
classes of units—Class A, Class B and Class C units. The Operating Company owns all of the outstanding Class B units of the San Francisco Venture. All of the outstanding Class A units are owned by affiliates of Lennar Corporation (“Lennar”) and affiliates of Castlelake, LP (“Castlelake”). The Class A units of the San Francisco Venture are intended to be substantially economically equivalent to the Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. The Class A units of the San Francisco Venture represent noncontrolling interests to the Operating Company.
Holders of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture can redeem their units at any time and receive Class A Common Units of the Operating Company on a
one
-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in the event of share splits, distributions of shares, warrants or share rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events). If a holder requests a redemption of Class A units that would result in the Holding Company’s ownership of the Operating Company falling below
50.1%
, the Holding Company has the option of satisfying the redemption with Class A common shares instead. The Company also has the option, at any time, to acquire outstanding Class A units of the San Francisco Venture in exchange for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. The
12
month holding period for any Class A Common Units of the Operating Company issued in exchange for Class A units of the San Francisco Venture is calculated by including the period that such Class A units of the San Francisco Venture were owned. This exchange right is currently exercisable by substantially all holders of outstanding Class A units of the San Francisco Venture.
Concurrent with the termination of the Retail Project (defined in Note 8), the San Francisco Venture issued
436,498
Class A units (and the Company issued
436,498
of its Class B common shares) to, and received a contribution of
$5.5 million
from, the holders of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture.
On February 13, 2019, the San Francisco Venture issued
$25.0 million
of new Class C units to an affiliate of Lennar in exchange for a contribution of
$25.0 million
to the San Francisco Venture. Provided that Lennar completes the construction of a certain number of new homes in Candlestick as contemplated under purchase and sale agreements with the Company, the San Francisco Venture is required to redeem the Class C units if and when the Company receives reimbursements from the Mello-Roos communities facilities district formed for the development, in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of any reimbursements up to a maximum amount of
$25.0 million
. The San Francisco Venture also maintains the ability to redeem the then outstanding balance of Class C units for cash at any time. Upon a liquidation of the San Francisco Venture, the holders of Class C Units are entitled to a liquidation preference in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the cumulative amount of reimbursements received, less the aggregate amount previously paid to redeem Class C units. The maximum amount payable by the San Francisco Venture pursuant to redemptions or liquidation of the Class C units is
$25.0 million
. The holders of Class C units are not entitled to receive any other forms of distributions and are not entitled to any voting rights. In connection with the issuance of the Class C units, the San Francisco Venture agreed to spend
$25.0 million
on the development of infrastructure and/or parking facilities at the Company’s Candlestick development. At
March 31, 2019
,
$25.0 million
of Class C units are outstanding and is included in redeemable noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in the Company held by the noncontrolling interests. The Company allocates income (loss) to noncontrolling interests based on the substantive profit sharing provisions of the applicable operating agreements.
With each exchange of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company for Class A common shares, the Holding Company’s percentage ownership interest in the Operating Company and its share of the Operating Company’s cash distributions and profits and losses will increase. Additionally, other issuances of common shares of the Holding Company or common units of the Operating Company results in changes to the noncontrolling interest percentage as well as the total net assets of the Company. As a result, all equity transactions result in an allocation between members’ capital and the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of capital to account for the changes in the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as well as the change in total net assets of the Company.
During the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Holding Company increased its ownership interest in the Operating Company as a result of equity transactions related to the Company’s share-based compensation plan. During the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
, the Holding Company increased its ownership interest in the Operating Company as a result of equity transactions related to the Company’s share based compensation plan and exchanges of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company for Class A common shares. The carrying amount of the Company’s noncontrolling interest has been adjusted to reflect these changes in ownership interests.
6.
CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
The Holding Company conducts all of its operations through the Operating Company, a consolidated VIE, and as a result, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Company, other than items attributed to income taxes and the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) related obligation, which was
$171.2 million
and
$169.5 million
at
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively. The Operating Company has investments in, and consolidates the assets and liabilities of, the San Francisco Venture, FP LP and FPL, all of which have also been determined to be VIEs.
The San Francisco Venture is a VIE as the other members of the venture, individually or as a group, are not able to exercise kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company applied the variable interest model and determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the San Francisco Venture and, accordingly, the San Francisco Venture is consolidated in its results. In making that determination, the Company evaluated that the Operating Company has unilateral and unconditional power to make decisions in regards to the activities that significantly impact the economics of the VIE, which are the development of properties, marketing and sale of properties, acquisition of land and other real estate properties and obtaining land ownership or ground lease for the underlying properties to be developed. The Company is determined to have more-than-insignificant economic benefit from the San Francisco Venture because the Operating Company can prevent or cause the San Francisco Venture from making distributions on its units, and the Operating Company would receive
99%
of any such distributions (assuming no distributions had been paid on the Class A Common Units of the Operating Company). In addition, the San Francisco Venture is only allowed to make a capital call on the Operating Company and not any other interest holders, which could be a significant financial risk to the Operating Company.
As of
March 31, 2019
, the San Francisco Venture had total combined assets of
$1,162.3 million
, primarily comprised of
$1,147.1 million
of inventories,
$1.5 million
in related party assets and
$5.1 million
in cash and total combined liabilities of
$122.8 million
, including
$102.8 million
in related party liabilities.
As of
December 31, 2018
, the San Francisco Venture had total combined assets of
$1,151.4 million
, primarily comprised of
$1,137.0 million
of inventories and
$12.3 million
in cash and total combined liabilities of
$260.8 million
, including
$168.9 million
in related party liabilities and
$65.1 million
in notes payable.
Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the San Francisco Venture, not the Company. The San Francisco Venture is not a guarantor of the Company’s obligations, and the assets held by the San Francisco Venture may only be used as collateral for the San Francisco Venture’s debt. The creditors of the San Francisco Venture do not have recourse to the assets of the Operating Company, as the VIE’s primary beneficiary, or of the Holding Company.
The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the San Francisco Venture. In addition, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the San Francisco Venture. The Company does not guarantee any debt of the San Francisco Venture. However the Operating Company has guaranteed the performance of payment by the San Francisco Venture in accordance with the redemption terms of the Class C units of the San Francisco Venture (see Note 5).
FP LP and FPL are VIEs because the other partners or members have disproportionately fewer voting rights, and substantially all of the activities of the entities are conducted on behalf of the other partners or members and their related parties. The Operating Company, or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Company, is the primary beneficiary of FP LP and FPL.
As of
March 31, 2019
, FP LP and FPL had combined assets of
$785.2 million
, primarily comprised of
$597.3 million
of inventories,
$91.6 million
of intangibles,
$57.1 million
in related party assets and
$0.1 million
in cash, and total combined liabilities of
$119.2 million
, including
$109.7 million
in accounts payable and other liabilities and
$9.5 million
in related party liabilities.
As of
December 31, 2018
, FP LP and FPL had combined assets of
$745.3 million
, primarily comprised of
$559.1 million
of inventories,
$95.9 million
of intangibles,
$54.3 million
in related party assets and
$0.1 million
in cash, and total combined liabilities of
$118.1 million
, including
$108.6 million
in accounts payable and other liabilities and
$9.5 million
in related party liabilities.
The Company evaluates its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and assesses the appropriateness of the VIE’s status when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis. During the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, there were no VIEs that were deconsolidated.
7.
INTANGIBLE ASSET, NET—RELATED PARTY
The intangible asset relates to the contract value of the incentive compensation provisions of the Management Company’s development management agreement, as amended and restated (“A&R DMA”), with the Great Park Venture. The A&R DMA has an original term commencing on December 29, 2010 and ending on December 31, 2021, with options to renew at the mutual agreement of terms and provisions by both the Company and the Great Park Venture for three additional years and then two additional years. The intangible asset will be amortized over the contract period based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are expected to be received.

Contingent Consideration to Class A Members of the San Francisco Venture
Prior to the Company’s acquisition of The San Francisco Venture, The San Francisco Venture completed a separation transaction (the “Separation Transaction”) pursuant to an Amended and Restated Separation and Distribution Agreement (“Separation Agreement”) in which the equity interests in a subsidiary of the San Francisco Venture known as CPHP Development, LLC (“CPHP”) were distributed directly to the members of the San Francisco Venture: (i) an affiliate of Lennar and (ii) an affiliate of Castlelake. The terms of the Separation Agreement included the following:
• CPHP was transferred certain acres of land where homes were being built, as well as all responsibility for current and future residential construction on the land;
• Once a final subdivision map was recorded, title to a parking structure parcel at Candlestick (“CP Parking Parcel”) was to be conveyed to CPHP, and CPHP was to assume the obligation to construct the parking structure and certain other improvements at Candlestick;
• CPHP was transferred the membership interest in Candlestick Retail Member, LLC, (“Mall Venture Member”), the entity that had entered into a joint venture (“Mall Venture”) with CAM Candlestick LLC (the “Macerich Member”) to build a fashion outlet retail shopping center (“Retail Project”) above and adjacent to the parking structure that CPHP was to construct on the CP Parking Parcel; and
• Once a final subdivision map was recorded, the San Francisco Venture was to convey to the Mall Venture the property on which the Retail Project was to be built (the “Retail Project Property”).
Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, the San Francisco Venture retained the obligation under the Mall disposition and development agreement to subdivide and convey the Retail Project Property to the Mall Venture and the CP Parking Parcel to CPHP.
In early 2019, after discussions between the Company, CPHP and the Macerich Member, the parties determined not to proceed with the Retail Project. As a result of terminating the Retail Project and agreements related thereto, the obligation of the San Francisco Venture to convey the CP Parking Parcel and the Retail Project Property was terminated, and the San Francisco Venture was also released from certain development obligations, which resulted in a gain
$64.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability
The Company leases corporate office space at the Five Point Gateway Campus. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842,
Leases
(see Note 2 and Note 11)
,
the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability pertaining to this related party lease. Existing prepaid rent of
$6.0 million
was included in the measurement of the operating lease right-of-use asset on January 1, 2019.

TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENT
The Company is a party to a TRA with all of the holders of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company and all the holders of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture (as parties to the TRA, the “TRA Parties”). At
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets include a liability of
$171.2 million
and
$169.5 million
, respectively, for payments expected to be made under certain components of the TRA which the Company deems to be probable and estimable. Management deems a TRA payment related to the benefits expected to be received by the Company under the application of Section 704(c) and Section 743 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be probable and estimable when an event occurs that results in the Company measuring the Operating Company’s directly or indirectly held property at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or the sale of such property at fair value. Either of these activities are indicators that the difference between the fair market value of the property and the adjusted tax basis has been or will be realized, resulting in special allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction that are likely to reduce the amount of income taxes that the Company would otherwise pay. The Company may record adjustments to TRA liabilities related to properties not currently held at fair value when those properties are recognized or realized at fair value. Furthermore, the Company may record adjustments to TRA liabilities if and when TRA Parties exchange Class A Common Units of the Operating Company for the Company’s Class A common shares or other equity transactions that impact the Holding Company’s ownership in the Operating Company. Changes in the Company’s estimates of the utilization of its deferred tax attributes and tax rates in effect may also result in subsequent adjustments to the amount of TRA liabilities recognized.
The term of the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits under the agreement have been utilized or expired, unless the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA for an amount based on an agreed value of payments remaining to be made under the agreement.
No
TRA payments were made during the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
.
11. LEASES
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 (Note 2) effective on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. Consequently, comparative prior periods presented in financial statements after adoption will continue to be in accordance with historical U.S. GAAP (Topic 840,
Leases
).
Operating Leases - Lessee
The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain office facilities and equipment under operating leases. Equipment leases are generally short-term leases with terms less than 12 months or subject to month-to-month lease provisions. The Company’s office leases have remaining lease terms of 5 years to 10 years. The Company’s office leases include one or more extension options to renew, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to ten years. The Company only includes the options in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Operating ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which are generally predetermined based on fixed increases within the lease agreements. When the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is derived from assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments over appropriate tenors.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts for the purchase, development and sale of real estate, which the Company does in the routine conduct of its business. The operations of the Company are conducted through the Operating Company and its subsidiaries, and in some cases, the Holding Company will guarantee the performance of the Operating Company or its subsidiaries.
Valencia Project Approval Settlement
In September 2017, the Company reached a settlement with key national and state environmental and Native American organizations that were petitioners (the “Settling Petitioners”) in various legal challenges to Valencia’s regulatory approvals and permits. As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company has a liability balance of
$36.5 million
associated with certain obligations of the project approval settlement. The Holding Company has provided a guaranty to the Settling Petitioners for monetary payments due from the Company as required under the settlement. As of
March 31, 2019
, the remaining estimated maximum potential amount of monetary payments subject to the guaranty was
$43.1 million
with the final payment due in 2026. The Company did not reach a settlement with two local environmental organizations that have pending challenges to certain Valencia project approvals. See “Legal Proceedings” below.
Performance and Completion Bonding Agreements
In the ordinary course of business and as a part of the entitlement and development process, the Company is required to provide performance bonds to ensure completion of certain development obligations. The Company had outstanding performance bonds of
$74.0 million
and
$73.5 million
as of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard Disposition and Development Agreement
The San Francisco Venture is a party to a disposition and development agreement with the Successor to the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (the “San Francisco Agency”) in which the San Francisco Agency has agreed to convey portions of Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard to the San Francisco Venture for development. The San Francisco Venture has agreed to reimburse the San Francisco Agency for reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred and paid by the San Francisco Agency in performing its obligations under the disposition and development agreement. The San Francisco Agency can also earn a return of certain profits generated from the development and sale of Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard if certain thresholds are met. As of
March 31, 2019
the thresholds had not been met.
At
March 31, 2019
, the San Francisco Venture had outstanding guarantees benefiting the San Francisco Agency for infrastructure and construction of certain park and open space obligations with aggregate maximum obligations of
$197.8 million
.
Letters of Credit
At each of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling
$2.4 million
. These letters of credit were issued to secure various development and financial obligations. At each of
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the Company had restricted cash and certificates of deposit of
$1.4 million
pledged as collateral under certain of the letters of credit agreements.
Legal Proceedings
Landmark Village/Mission Village
During the pendency of certain prior litigation involving the approval of the original environmental impact reports and related permits for the Landmark Village and Mission Village projects at Valencia, in July 2017, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors certified the final additional environmental analyses required as a result of a prior California Supreme Court decision regarding the original greenhouse gas analysis related to the projects and reapproved the Landmark Village and Mission Village projects and related permits. In August 2017, two petitioners, Santa Clarita Organization for Planning and the Environment and Friends of the Santa Clara River (collectively,
“Non-Settling Petitioners”), who did not participate in a settlement of prior litigation involving the Company and certain other petitioners, filed a new petition for writ of mandate in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The petition challenged Los Angeles County’s July 2017 approvals of the Mission Village and Landmark Village environmental analyses and the two projects based on claims arising under the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Water Code. The Court held a hearing on the merits of the petition in September 2018. In December 2018, the Superior Court issued its written decision denying the Non-Settling Petitioners’ petition for writ of mandate. Thereafter, in January 2019, the Superior Court entered judgment on the petition for writ of mandate in favor of the County and the Company. In March 2019, the Non-Settling Petitioners filed an appeal of the Superior Court’s ruling.
Hunters Point Litigation
In May 2018, residents of the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood in San Francisco filed a putative class action in San Francisco Superior Court naming Tetra Tech, Inc., an independent contractor hired by the U.S. Navy to conduct testing and remediation of toxic radiological waste at The San Francisco Shipyard (“Tetra Tech”), Lennar and the Company as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that, among other things, Tetra Tech fraudulently misrepresented its test results and remediation efforts. The plaintiffs are seeking damages against Tetra Tech and have requested an injunction to prevent the Company and Lennar from undertaking any development activities at The San Francisco Shipyard.
Since July 2018, a number of lawsuits have been filed in San Francisco Superior Court on behalf of homeowners in The San Francisco Shipyard, which name Tetra Tech, Lennar, the Company and the Company’s CEO, among others, as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that environmental contamination issues at The San Francisco Shipyard were not properly disclosed to them before they purchased their homes. They also allege that Tetra Tech and other defendants (not including the Company) have created a nuisance at The San Francisco Shipyard under California law. They seek damages as well as certain declaratory relief. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to the allegations in all of these cases and may have insurance and indemnification rights against third parties, including related parties, with respect to these claims. Given the preliminary nature of these claims, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters.
Other
Other than the actions outlined above, the Company is also a party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, the disposition of which, in the Company’s opinion, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As a significant land owner and developer of unimproved land it is possible that environmental contamination conditions could exist that would require the Company to take corrective action. In the opinion of the Company, such corrective actions, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company may grant equity incentive awards to employees, consultants and non-employee directors under the Five Point Holdings, LLC 2016 Incentive Award Plan (the “Incentive Award Plan”). The Incentive Award Plan provides for the grant of share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards (which include, but are not limited to, cash bonuses), distribution equivalent awards, deferred share awards, share payment awards, share appreciation rights, other incentive awards (which include, but are not limited to, LTIP Unit awards (as defined in the Incentive Award Plan) and performance share awards. The Incentive Award Plan authorized the issuance of up to
8,500,822
Class A common shares of the Holding Company. As of
March 31, 2019
, there were
1,795,170
remaining Class A common shares available for future issuance under the Incentive Award Plan.
Under the Incentive Award Plan, the Company has granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) and restricted share awards either fully vested, with service conditions or with service and market performance conditions based on the market price of the Company’s Class A common shares. Awards with a service condition generally vest over a three-year period or in the case of non-employee directors over one year. Awards with a service and market performance condition generally vest at the end of a three-year period. Restricted share awards entitle the holders to non-forfeitable distributions and to vote the underlying Class A common share during the restricted period.
The Company estimates the fair value of restricted share awards with a service condition based on the closing market price of the Company’s Class A common shares on the award’s grant date. Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Company measured the fair value of RSUs and restricted share awards based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s underlying Class A common shares determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The inputs utilized in the Company’s estimate were selected by the Company based on information available to the Company, including relevant information obtained after the measurement date, as to the assumptions that market participants
would make at the measurement date. The grant date fair value of awards with a market condition are determined using a Monte-Carlo approach.
In January 2019, the Company reacquired
242,990
vested RSUs for
$1.8 million
and
296,391
restricted Class A common shares for
$2.3 million
for the purpose of settling tax withholding obligations of employees. The reacquisition cost is based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common shares on the date the tax obligation is incurred.
During the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company granted
$2.3 million
equity incentive awards to employees and non-employee directors. The awards were comprised of restricted share awards with a service condition and restricted share awards or RSU awards with a market condition contingent on the Company’s Class A common shares satisfying certain price targets.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Newhall Land and Farming Company Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) is a defined benefit plan that is funded by the Company and qualified under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. In 2004, the Retirement Plan was amended to cease future benefit accruals and the Retirement Plan was frozen. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum requirements but not more than the maximum tax-deductible amount. The Company does not expect to have a minimum required contribution in 2019 and did not make any contributions during the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
.

17. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes
, which requires an asset and liability approach for measuring deferred taxes based on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates for the years in which taxes are expected to be paid or recovered.
Upon formation, the Holding Company elected to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal, state, and local tax purposes. All operations are carried on through the Holding Company’s subsidiaries, the majority of which are pass-through entities that are generally not subject to federal or state income taxation, as all of the taxable income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits are passed through to the partners. The Holding Company is responsible for income taxes on its share of taxable income or loss passed through from the operating subsidiaries.
In the three months ended
March 31, 2019
, the Company recorded a
$1.3 million
provision for income taxes (after application of a decrease in the Company’s valuation allowance of
$7.3 million
) on pre-tax income of
$54.0 million
. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded no provision or benefit for income taxes (after application of an increase in the Company’s valuation allowance of
$1.6 million
) on pretax loss of
$14.3 million
. The effective tax rates for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, differ from the 21% federal statutory rate and applicable state statutory rates primarily due to the Company’s valuation allowance on its book losses and to the pre-tax portion of income and losses that are passed through to the other partners of the Operating Company and the San Francisco Venture. The current quarter’s tax provision relates to adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance resulting from the limitation on post-2017 net operating losses to offset only 80% of deferred tax liabilities which has been treated as a discrete event in the current quarter.
Each quarter the Company assesses its deferred tax asset to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under the guidance of ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes
. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset it concludes is more likely than not unrealizable. The Company’s assessment considers, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of prior cumulative losses, forecasts of future taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, its utilization experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and tax planning alternatives, to the extent these items are applicable. Largely due to a history of book losses, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its federal and state net deferred tax assets.
The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. Fiscal years 2014 through 2017 generally remain subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authority. The Company classifies any interest and penalties related to income taxes assessed by jurisdiction as part of income tax expense. The Company has concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements,
nor has the Company been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions related to any open tax periods.
18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES
ASC Topic 820,
Fair Values Measurement,
emphasizes that a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. The following hierarchy classifies the inputs used to determine fair value into three levels:
Level 1
—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
Level 2
—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the instrument either directly or indirectly
Level 3
—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable
At each reporting period, the Company evaluates the fair value of its financial instruments. Other than notes payable, net, the carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which includes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and certificates of deposit, certain related party assets and liabilities, and accounts payable and other liabilities, approximated the Company’s estimates of fair value at both
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable, net, are estimated based on quoted market prices or discounting the expected cash flows based on rates available to the Company (level 2). At
March 31, 2019
, the estimated fair value of notes payable, net was
$480.0 million
compared to a carrying value of
$492.2 million
. At
December 31, 2018
, the estimated fair value of notes payable, net was
$550.1 million
compared to a carrying value of
$557.0 million
. During the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, the Company had no assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Contingent consideration is carried at fair value and is remeasured on a recurring basis. At
December 31, 2018
, the fair value of the contingent consideration was
$64.9 million
(level 3) and during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
, the contingent consideration was derecognized (see Note 8).
19.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company uses the two-class method in its computation of earnings per share. Pursuant to the terms of the Holding Company’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Class A common shares and the Class B common shares are entitled to receive distributions at different rates, with each Class B common share receiving
0.03%
of the distributions paid on each Class A common share. Under the two-class method, the Company’s net income available to common shareholders is allocated between the two classes of common shares on a fully-distributed basis and reflects residual net income after amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests. In the event of a net loss, the Company determined that both classes share in the Company’s losses, and they share in the losses using the same mechanism as the distributions. The Company also has restricted share awards and performance restricted share awards (see Note 15) that have a right to non-forfeitable dividends while unvested and are contemplated as participating when the Company is in a net income position. These awards participate in distributions on a basis equivalent to other Class A common shares but do not participate in losses.
No distributions were declared for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
and the Company operated in a net income position for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and a net loss position for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
. As a result, net income (loss) attributable to the parent was allocated to the Class A common shares and Class B common shares in an amount per Class B common share equal to
0.03%
multiplied by the amount per Class A common share. Basic income (loss) per Class A common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) allocated to Class A Common shareholders by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding for the period. Basic income (loss) per Class B common share is determined by dividing net
income (loss) allocated to the Class B common shares by the weighted average number of Class B common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted income (loss) per share calculations for both Class A common shares and Class B common shares contemplate adjustments to the numerator and the denominator under the if-converted method for the convertible Class B common shares, the exchangeable Class A units of the San Francisco Venture and the exchangeable Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. The Company uses the treasury stock method or the two-class method when evaluating dilution for RSUs, restricted shares, and performance restricted shares. The more dilutive of the two methods is included in the calculation for diluted income (loss) per share.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018

, net of tax benefits of
$0.9 million

, respectively. At both
March 31, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
