TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2018 /CNW/ - Firm Capital American Realty Partners Corp. (the "Company"), (TSXV: FCA.U), (TSXV: FCA) is pleased to announce the full repayment of its $4.1 million, 6.5% interest-only first mortgage loan secured by 120 single family homes located in Atlanta, Georgia (the "Atlanta Mortgage"), and updates regarding the Atlanta Single Family Homes Disposition Program and the Brentwood, Maryland Joint Venture:
FULL REPAYMENT OF ATLANTA MORTGAGE
As disclosed on September 13, 2018, to assist in the orderly disposition of the remaining 120 single-family homes located in Atlanta, Georgia, the Company entered into the Atlanta Mortgage. The proceeds received from the Atlanta Mortgage were used to repay the existing blanket $4.0 million secured first mortgage loan plus a pre-payment penalty of $0.1 million.
Due to a combination of working capital and single family home sales as outlined below, the Company has fully repaid the $4.1 million owing on the Atlanta Mortgage. The Company will now commence repayment of the 7.0% Convertible Unsecured Debenture (the "Debenture") which has a principal balance of $6.8 million.
ATLANTA SINGLE FAMILY HOMES DISPOSITION PROGRAM UPDATE
As previously disclosed, the Company had listed for sale its remaining 120 single family homes located in Atlanta, Georgia. To date, the Company has sold or closed sales on 73 homes, or 61% of the total portfolio, for gross proceeds of $7.8 million ($7.1 million net of estimated closing costs). Of these sales, 38 have officially closed for gross proceeds of $4.0 million ($3.7 million net of estimated closing costs) while the remaining 35 sales totalling gross proceeds of $3.8 million ($3.4 million net of estimated closing costs) are expected to close during the early part of Q4/2018. The net proceeds generated from these home sales were used, in part, to repay the Atlanta Mortgage, while the remainder will be used to further repay the Debenture. The remaining unsold 47 single family homes, which have a current list price of $6.0 million ($5.6 million net of estimated closing costs) are anticipated to generate on closing, assuming that the current list price is achieved, net proceeds sufficient to fully repay the existing Debenture and provide the Company with additional working capital.
BRENTWOOD, MARYLAND JOINT VENTURE REFINANCING, IFRS VALUATION INCREASE AND VALUE-ADD ACTIVITIES
In January 2017, the Company invested $1.0 million in a combination of preferred equity ($0.7 million) and common equity ($0.3 million), which represents a 25% ownership interest, in a 115 unit apartment building joint venture located in the Washington, D.C. area (the "Joint Venture"). The Joint Venture, which consists of eight buildings, is located in Brentwood, Maryland and was acquired for $9.8 million (including closing costs) at a 7.6% capitalization rate. As part of the Joint Venture acquisition, the Joint Venture assumed two mortgages totaling $7.8 million at a 5.18% weighted average interest rate.
The Company is pleased to report the following:
Overall, the immediate accretion impact of the New Mortgage and the IFRS Valuation increase will impact Q3/2018 earnings positively by approximately $0.05 per share. Once completed, the accretion impact of the 14 apartment units are expected to impact future earnings by an additional $0.14 per share.
