1. We note your response to our prior comment. Please clarify for us the consideration transferred
in the acquisition. Also, tell us if any existing debt on the property acquired was paid down in the transaction.
Response:
The Company respectfully advises
the Staff that the consideration transferred in the acquisition of the Avenue at Timberlin Park property was $11,055,105, comprised of
(a) $10,140,000 transferred by the Company to title escrow and (b) $1,344,223 in closing costs incurred by the Company in connection with
the acquisition, reduced by (c) a buyer credit of $429,125 for prorated revenue and expenses such as rent, taxes and utilities. In addition,
a lender unaffiliated with the Company financed the acquisition by funding $23,660,000 in first mortgage proceeds into title escrow. At
closing, funds in title escrow were disbursed to the seller parties and a first mortgage in the amount of $23,660,000 secured by the property
was recorded.
The Company further respectfully
advises the Staff that prior to closing, the seller held existing mortgage debt on the property of $19,474,919. Such existing debt was
paid off in full by disbursement of a portion of the $23,660,000 in mortgage funds referenced above from title escrow to the existing
lender on behalf of the seller at closing. In connection with the transaction, $13,011,869 in net cash was transferred to the seller from
title escrow (after the payoff of $19,474,919 in existing debt and payment of $884,087 in seller closing costs and a buyer credit $429,125
for prorated revenue and expenses such as rent, taxes and utilities).
