AMREP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2024 and 2023

(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. 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 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 2024 and 2023 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2024 and 2023.

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, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on July 25, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The significant accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies described in the 2023 Form 10-K, except for the following newly adopted policies:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value because of changes in interest rates. A debt security is classified as a cash equivalent if it meets these criteria and has an original maturity of ninety days or less when purchased. Restricted cash consists of cash deposits with a bank that are restricted due to subdivision improvement agreements with a governmental authority. Interest payments on cash and cash equivalents are recorded as income on the statement of operations.
Short-Term Investments: Short-term investments are held-to-maturity debt investments that have original maturities of greater than ninety days when purchased and remaining maturities of less than one year. Held-to-maturity debt investments are debt investments, such as certificates of deposit and U.S. government securities, that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Held-to-maturity debt investments are recorded at their original purchase amount (and are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable) with interest payments recorded as income on the statement of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-07, Segment Reporting, which provides for enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2019-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2019-07 by the Company is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. There are no other 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.

The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted shares of common stock net of forfeitures of $67,000 and $170,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 and $39,000 and $25,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023. As of January 31, 2024, there was $250,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of common stock previously issued under the Equity Plan that had not vested, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting term not to exceed three years.

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. As of January 31, 2024, the option had not been exercised, cancelled or forfeited. The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to the option of $13,000 and $38,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 and $13,000 and $38,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

AMREP Corporation (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. The following provides information that management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The information contained in this Item 2 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). Many of the amounts and percentages presented in this Item 2 have been rounded for convenience of presentation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to 2024 and 2023 are to the fiscal years ending April 30, 2024 and 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the accounting policies used and disclosed in the 2023 condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and included as part of the 2023 Form 10-K. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q required management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts or results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

The Company’s critical accounting policies, assumptions and estimates are described in Item 7 of Part II of the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no changes in these critical accounting policies.

Information concerning the Company’s implementation and the impact of recent accounting standards or updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is included in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in the 2023 Form 10-K and in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q. The Company did not adopt any accounting policy in the nine months ended January 31, 2024 that had a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company had net income of $92,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16,574,000, or $3.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended January 31, 2023. For the nine months ended January 31, 2024, the Company had net income of $2,546,000, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22,107,000, or $4.17 per diluted share, for the nine months ended January 31, 2023. As discussed in more detail below, during the three months ended January 31, 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax pension settlement expense of $2,336,000 as a result of its defined benefit pension plan paying certain lump sum payouts of pension benefits to former employees and a non-cash income tax benefit of $16,071,000 as a result of a worthless stock deduction.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, the Company experienced delays in municipal approvals and utility response times in both the land development business segment and homebuilding business segment, which 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 2024 and 2023, which has resulted in a significant increase in mortgage interest rates during 2024 and 2023, 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 increases in mortgage interest rates, coupled with general inflation in the U.S. economy and other macroeconomic factors, have placed pressure on overall housing affordability and have caused many potential homebuyers to pause and reconsider their housing choices. Given the affordability challenges described above and the resulting impact on demand, the Company has provided sales incentives on certain homes classified as homebuilding model inventory or homebuilding construction in process, opportunistically leased completed homes 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 calendar year 2024. In addition, the Company has reduced the number and scope of its active land development projects and delayed proceeding with certain new land development projects due to market headwinds and uncertainty, which is expected to result in reduced developed residential revenues in the Company’s land development business segment during the remainder of 2024 as compared to 2023.

Land sale gross margins were 34% and 33% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 compared to 43% and 37% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023. The changes in gross margin were primarily due to higher than estimated costs associated with certain completed projects and the location, size and mix of property sold.

17

Home sale gross margins were 22% and 27% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 compared to 22% and 29% for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023. The change in gross margin for the nine months ended January 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was primarily due to the location, size and mix of homes sold.
Other cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 consist of the costs associated with the sale of investment assets and cost of goods sold for landscaping services. The costs associated with the sale of investment assets represented the costs to construct two buildings leased to commercial tenants, which costs were higher than the costs projected at the time the Company committed to each construction project. There were no other cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023.

As a result of many factors, including the nature and timing of specific transactions and the type and location of land or homes being sold, revenues, average selling prices and related gross margins from land sales or home sales can vary significantly from period to period and prior results are not necessarily a good indication of what may occur in future periods.

Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in 2023 Form 10-K for detail regarding real estate inventory. From April 30, 2023 to January 31, 2024, the change in land inventory in New Mexico was primarily due to the sale of land offset in part by land development activity, the change in homebuilding model inventory was primarily due to the sale of homes

offset in part by the completion of homes not yet sold and the change in homebuilding construction in process was primarily due to an increase in the number of homes that started construction and delays in municipal approvals and utility response times causing construction cycle times to lengthen.

Land held for long-term investment represents property located in areas that are not planned to be developed in the near term and that has not been offered for sale in the normal course of business.

Owned real estate leased or intended to be leased represents homes and buildings leased or intended to be leased to third parties. As of January 31, 2024, nine homes were leased to residential tenants. As of April 30, 2023, eight homes were leased to residential tenants and two buildings under construction were leased to commercial tenants. Given the impact on demand as a result of affordability challenges described above, the Company has opportunistically leased completed homes. Depreciation associated with owned real estate leased or intended to be leased was $12,000 and $60,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2024 and $3,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023.

From April 30, 2023 to January 31, 2024:
oThe change in other assets was primarily due to a decrease in prepaid expenses related to the termination of a land development cash collateralized performance guaranty.
oThe change in deferred income taxes, net was primarily due to the income tax effect of the amount of income before income taxes during the year.
oThe change in prepaid pension costs was primarily due to the funding levels of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. The Company recorded, net of tax, other comprehensive income of $65,000 and $208,000 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023 reflecting the change in accrued pension costs during each period net of the related deferred tax and unrecognized prepaid pension amounts. The Company’s pension plan was terminated in December 2023, with any prepaid pension costs (after satisfying any remaining pension plan liabilities) expected to be transferred during 2024 to a new 401(k) retirement plan to be made available to eligible employees.
oThe change in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily due to an increase in accrued property taxes.
oThe change in taxes receivable (payable), net was primarily due to the payment of taxes and the accrual of state income taxes payable related to the amount of income before income taxes for the nine months ended January 31, 2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. As of January 31, 2024 and January 31, 2023, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2023 Form 10-K and Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Statement of Forward-Looking Information

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. In addition, other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, may be made by or on behalf of the Company. 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, acquisition of land, homebuilding, commercial projects, general and administrative expenses and capital expenditure needs, (2) the Company’s expected liquidity sources, including the availability of bank financing for projects and the utilization of existing bank financing, (3) the conditions resulting in homebuyer affordability challenges persisting through 2024, (4) the amount of developed residential revenues in the Company’s land development business segment during the remainder of 2024, (5) the backlog of homes under contract and in production, the dollar amount of expected sale revenues when such homes are closed and homes and buildings leased or intended to be leased to third parties, (6) the establishment of a new 401(k) retirement plan, the transfer of any prepaid pension costs to a new 401(k) retirement plan and the timing of such establishment and transfer, (7) the timing of recognizing unrecognized compensation expense related to shares of common stock issued under the AMREP Corporation 2016 Equity Compensation Plan, (8) the future issuance of deferred stock units to directors of the Company, (9) the dilution to earnings per share that outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company may cause in the future and (10) the future business conditions that may be experienced by the Company. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of such forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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 January 31, 2024 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.
