Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three and Six Months Ended October 31, 2022 and 2021

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMREP Corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in two business segments: land development and homebuilding. The Company has no foreign sales or activities outside the United States. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to the Company in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of what may occur in future periods.  Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2023 and 2022 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2023 and 2022.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on July 21, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). To better align with industry practice, the Company reclassified public improvement district reimbursements, private infrastructure covenant reimbursements and a portion of miscellaneous other revenues representing payment for impact fee credits within building sales and other revenues in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2021 as a reduction to land sale cost of revenues in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2022 Form 10-K, except as described in the following paragraph.

Land sale cost of revenues, net includes all direct acquisition costs and other costs specifically identified with the property, including pre-acquisition costs and capitalized real estate taxes and interest, and an allocation of certain common development costs associated with the entire project. Common development costs include the installation of utilities and roads, and may be based upon estimates of cost to complete. The allocation of costs is based on the estimated relative sales value of the individual parcels of land being sold to the total expected sales value for the unsold parcels of land in the applicable portion of the subdivision. Estimates and cost allocations are reviewed on a regular basis until a project is substantially completed, and are revised and reallocated as necessary on the basis of current estimates. Amounts received from public improvement districts, private infrastructure covenants and payments for impact fee credits reduce the amount of land sale cost of revenues.

New Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting standards or updates to be adopted that the Company currently believes might have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of October 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the loan documentation for the then outstanding notes payable. Except as described below, refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2022 Form 10-K for additional detail about each of the above notes payable.

Revolving Line of Credit. Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2022 Form 10-K for detail regarding the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) entered into between BOKF, NA dba Bank of Albuquerque (“BOKF”) and AMREP Southwest Inc. (“ASW”), a subsidiary of AMREP Corporation, in which BOKF agrees to lend up to $4,000,000 to ASW on a revolving line of credit basis for general corporate purposes. In August 2022, ASW and BOKF entered into the Third Modification Agreement to the Loan Agreement and ASW entered into the First Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note in favor of BOKF. These documents resulted in the following changes to the revolving line of credit financing facility: (a) the maximum amount available for borrowing increased by $1,750,000 to a new total maximum amount of $5,750,000, (b) the interest rate on borrowed amounts is equal to the one-month secured overnight financing rate as administered by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited plus a spread of 3.15%, adjusted monthly, and (c) the scheduled maturity date of the loan is August 15, 2025. ASW incurred customary costs and expenses and paid certain fees to BOKF in connection with this modification.

Equipment Financing. In June 2022, Rioscapes LLC (“Rioscapes”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Contract-Security Agreement with Deere & Company (“DC”). The loan is secured by a security interest in certain construction equipment. DC lent $50,000 to Rioscapes on a non-revolving line of credit basis to fund the acquisition of the construction equipment. ASW guaranteed Rioscapes’s obligations under the loan. The principal is payable monthly based on a 72-month amortization and the outstanding principal amount of the loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the loan is payable monthly at the annual rate equal to 2.35%. Rioscapes made certain representations and warranties in connection with this loan and is required to comply with various covenants, reporting requirements and other customary requirements for similar loans. The loan documentation contains customary events of default for similar financing transactions, including: Rioscapes’s failure to make principal, interest or other payments when due; the failure of Rioscapes to observe or perform its covenants under the loan documentation; the representations and warranties of Rioscapes being false; the insolvency or bankruptcy of Rioscapes or ASW; the merger by Rioscapes or ASW into another entity; and the sale by Rioscapes or ASW of substantially all of their assets. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, DC may declare the outstanding principal amount and all other obligations under the loan immediately due and payable. Rioscapes incurred customary costs and expenses and paid certain fees to DC in connection with the loan.

As of October 31, 2022, the Company had (a) a letter of credit outstanding under its Revolving Line of Credit in the principal amount of $1,323,000 in favor of a municipality guarantying the completion of improvements in a subdivision being constructed by the Company and (b) $250,000 reserved for credit card usage. As of October 31, 2022, the Company had loan reserves outstanding under its note payable for La Mirada in the aggregate principal amount of $2,364,000 in favor of a municipality guarantying the completion of 9

In November 2021, the Company granted Christopher V. Vitale, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Equity Plan with an exercise price of $14.24 per share.

Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. had previously been the owner of the Company’s fulfillment services business. The amount of the tax loss has not yet been determined.

(12)         RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

During the three and six months ended October 31, 2022, the Company has experienced supply chain constraints, increases in the prices of building materials, shortages of skilled labor and delays in municipal approvals and inspections in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which have caused delays in construction and the realization of revenues and increases in cost of revenues. In addition, in response to inflation, the Federal Reserve increased benchmark interest rates during 2022 and has signaled it expects additional future interest rate increases, which has resulted in a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during 2022, impacting home affordability and consumer sentiment and tempering demand for new homes and finished residential lots. The rising cost of housing due to increases in average sales prices in recent years and the recent increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy and other macroeconomic factors, have placed additional pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential home buyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability 12

Table of Contents challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has increased sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding model inventory or homebuilding construction in process and slowed the pace of housing starts and land development projects. The Company believes these conditions will continue to impact the land development and homebuilding industries for at least the remainder of 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

AMREP Corporation is a holding company that conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries. As a holding company, AMREP Corporation is dependent on its available cash and on cash from subsidiaries to pay expenses and fund operations. The 17

Table of Contents Company’s liquidity is affected by many factors, including some that are based on normal operations and some that are related to the real estate industry and the economy generally.

The Company’s primary sources of funding for working capital requirements are cash flow from operations, bank financing for specific real estate projects, a revolving line of credit and existing cash balances. Land and homebuilding properties generally cannot be sold quickly, and the ability of the Company to sell properties has been and will continue to be affected by market conditions. The ability of the Company to generate cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon its ability to sell the properties it has selected for disposition at the prices and within the timeframes the Company has established for each property. The development of additional lots for sale, construction of homes or pursuing other real estate projects may require financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms (or at all). If the Company is unable to obtain such financing, the Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected. Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity and capital resources as reflected in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2022 Form 10-K.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $3,864,000 primarily due to the amount of change during each period in real estate inventory and investment assets, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, taxes payable (receivable), net and the deferred income tax provision.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $202,000 primarily due to the purchase of equipment.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2022 was lower than the prior period by $4,293,000 primarily due to a reduction in proceeds from debt financing partially offset by a decrease in principal debt repayments.

--- ---
Deferred income taxes, net decreased from April 30, 2022 to October 31, 2022 by $63,000 primarily due to the income tax effect of the decrease in pension liability. During 2022, the Company expects to recognize a loss for tax purposes only related to worthless stock of Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. owned by the Company. Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. had previously been the owner of the Company’s fulfillment services business. The amount of the tax loss has not yet been determined.
--- ---
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased from April 30, 2022 to October 31, 2022 by $566,000 primarily due to the payment of invoices partially offset by an increase in customer deposits.
--- ---
Taxes payable, net decreased from April 30, 2022 to October 31, 2022 by $2,254,000 due to the payment of taxes.
--- ---
Prepaid pension costs of the Company’s frozen defined benefit pension plan increased from April 30, 2022 to October 31, 2022 by $453,000 primarily due to the funding levels of the plan.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking”, including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company’s shareholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “may”, “should”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on behalf of the Company are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section. Many of the factors that will determine the Company’s future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report include, but are not limited to, statements regarding (1) the Company’s ability to finance its future working capital, land development, homebuilding and capital expenditure needs, (2) the Company’s expected liquidity sources, (3) the availability and utilization of existing bank financing, (4) the market conditions impacting the land development and homebuilding industries, including possible future increases in benchmark interest rates by the Federal Reserve and demand for new homes and finished residential lots, (5) the future business conditions that may be experienced by the Company, including the pace of the Company’s housing starts and land development projects, (6) the backlog of homes under contract and in production and the dollar amount of expected sales revenues when such homes are closed, (7) the timing of recognizing unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of common stock (and option related thereto) issued under the AMREP Corporation 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, (8) the future issuance of deferred stock units to directors of the Company and (9) the timing and amount of the recognition of a loss for tax purposes only related to worthless stock of Palm Coast Data Holdco, Inc. owned by the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. As a result of such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2022 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Accounting, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. The Company believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s system of internal control over “financial reporting” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting. 20

(e)  Effect of Noncompliance.

The chairman of a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 11. If any proposed

  • 8 -
