Trinity Place Holdings Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
March 31, 2023
Note 1 – Business
Overview
Trinity Place Holdings Inc., which we refer to in these financial statements as “Trinity,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” is a real estate holding, investment, development and asset management company. Our largest asset is a property located at 77 Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan (“77 Greenwich”), which is nearing completion as a mixed-use project consisting of a 90-unit residential condominium tower, retail space and a New York City elementary school. We also own a 105-unit, 12-story multi-family property located at 237 11th Street in Brooklyn, New York (“237 11th”), as well as a property occupied by a retail tenant in Paramus, New Jersey. In February 2023, we sold our
We also control a variety of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms Corp. (“Syms”), including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan. In addition, we also had approximately $
Liquidity and Going Concern; Management’s Plans; Recent Developments
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The COVID-19 pandemic and related matters, including government actions, shifts in residential consumer sentiment and changes to the broader and local economies, had a significant adverse impact on our business. More recently, the economic downturn, increased interest rates and high inflation have also impacted our business. As of March 31, 2023, we had total cash and restricted cash of $
While construction at 77 Greenwich has taken longer than projected and the impact of the pandemic and broader economic conditions have impeded the sale of residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich, we continue to sign and close contracts for our residential condominium units, including
7
related stresses, the pace of signing and closing contracts on residential condominium units has slowed markedly, with one contract being closed since that time period. Although we anticipate the pace will normalize in the near term in light of historical trends, predictions are inherently uncertain and there can be no assurances that it will do so in the near term or at all.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include our financial statements and the financial statements of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial information also conform with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In management’s opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2022 audited consolidated financial statements filed on Form 10-K, (the “2022 Annual Report”).
a. Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries which are or were wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the earnings or losses of our unconsolidated joint ventures, The Berkley, which was sold in April 2022, and 250 North 10th, which was sold in February 2023, are included in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income (see Note 13 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for further information). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
We are required to consolidate a variable interest entity (the “VIE”) in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of March 31, 2023, we had no VIEs.
b. | Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures - We accounted for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, namely, The Berkley, which was sold in April 2022, and 250 North 10th, which was sold in February 2023, under the equity method of accounting (see Note 13 - Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures for further information). |
c. Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates (see Note 2g. for further discussion).
d. Reportable Segments - We operate in
8
e. Concentrations of Credit Risk - Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. We hold substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents in banks. Such cash balances at times exceed federally insured limits.
f. Real Estate - Real estate assets are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. All costs related to the improvement or replacement of real estate properties are capitalized. Additions, renovations and improvements that enhance and/or extend the useful life of a property are also capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance, repairs and improvements that do not materially prolong the useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as described in the table below:
Category |
| Terms |
Buildings and improvements |
| |
Tenant improvements |
| Shorter of remaining term of the lease or useful life |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
g. | Residential Condominium Units for Sale - We capitalize certain costs related to the development and redevelopment of real estate including initial project acquisition costs, pre-construction costs and construction costs for each specific property. Additionally, we capitalize operating costs, interest, real estate taxes, insurance and compensation and related costs of personnel directly involved with the specific project related to real estate that is under development. Capitalization of these costs begin when the activities and related expenditures commence, and cease as the condominium units receives its temporary certificates of occupancy (“TCOs”). |
77 Greenwich is a condominium development project which includes residential condominium units that are ready for sale. Residential condominium units for sale as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes 77 Greenwich, and in all cases, excludes costs of development for the residential condominium units at 77 Greenwich that were sold. The residential condominium units for sale are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management considers relevant cash flows relating to budgeted project costs and estimated costs to complete, estimated sales velocity, expected proceeds from the sales of completed condominium units, including any potential declines in market values, and other available information in assessing whether the 77 Greenwich development project is impaired. Residential condominium units are evaluated for impairment based on the contracted and projected sales prices compared to the total estimated cost to construct. Any calculated impairments are recorded immediately in cost of sales.
h. | Valuation of Long-Lived Assets - We periodically review long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We consider relevant cash flow, management’s strategic plans and significant decreases, if any, in the market value of the asset and other available information in assessing whether the carrying value of the assets can be recovered. When such events occur, we compare the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows, excluding interest charges, from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If this comparison indicates an impairment, the carrying amount would then be compared to the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value. We considered all the aforementioned indicators of impairment for our real estate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and |
i. | Fair Value Measurements - We determine fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity. Assets and liabilities disclosed at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
9
Hierarchical levels, which are defined by ASC 820-10-35, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to the fair valuation of these assets and liabilities. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment and we evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.
Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
j. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include securities with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
k. Restricted Cash - Restricted cash represents amounts required to be restricted under our loan agreements, letter of credit (see Note 6 - Loans Payable and Secured Line of Credit for further information), deposits on residential condominium sales at 77 Greenwich, condominium sales proceeds that have not yet been transferred to the lender and tenant related security deposits.
l. | Revenue Recognition - Leases with tenants are accounted for as operating leases. Minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease, beginning when the tenant takes possession of the space. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable. In addition, retail leases typically provide for the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses. As lessor, when reporting revenue, we have elected to combine the lease and non-lease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Lease revenues and reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses are presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as “rental revenues.” Also, these reimbursements of expenses are recognized within revenue in the period the expenses are incurred. We assess the collectability of our accounts receivable related to tenant revenues. We applied the guidance under ASC 842 in assessing our lease payments: if collection of rents under specific operating leases is not probable, then we recognize the lesser of that lease’s rental income on a straight-line basis or cash received, plus variable rents as earned. Once this assessment is completed, we apply a general reserve, as provided under ASC 450-20, if applicable. |
Revenues on sale of residential condominiums reflects the gross sales price from sales of residential condominium units which are recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the units are transferred to the buyer. Our performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon condominium, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Cash proceeds from unit closings held in escrow for our benefit are included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets. Customer cash deposits on residential condominiums that are in contract are recorded as restricted cash and the related liability is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets. Our cost of sales consists of allocated expenses related to the initial acquisition, demolition, construction and development of the condominium complex, including associated building costs, development fees, as well as salaries, benefits, bonuses and share-based compensation expense, including other directly associated overhead costs, in addition to qualifying interest and financing costs. See also Note 2g. Residential Condominium Units for Sale above.
m. | Stock-Based Compensation – We have granted stock-based compensation, which is described below in Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award on that date, and is expensed at the grant date (for the portion that vests immediately) or ratably over the related vesting periods. Shares that are forfeited are added back into the pool of shares available under the Stock Incentive Plan (see Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation), and any recorded expense related to forfeited shares are reversed in the year of forfeiture. |
10
n. | Income Taxes - We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method as required by the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. |
ASC 740-10-65 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-65, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-65 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and increased other disclosures. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had determined that
We are subject to certain federal, state and local income and franchise taxes.
o. Earnings (loss) Per Share - We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower per share amount.
p. Deferred Finance Costs – Capitalized and deferred finance costs represent commitment fees, legal, title and other third party costs associated with obtaining commitments for mortgage financings which result in a closing of such financing. These costs are being offset against loans payable in the consolidated balance sheets for mortgage financings and had an unamortized balance of $
q. Deferred Lease Costs – Deferred lease costs consist of fees and incremental costs incurred to initiate and renew retail operating leases and are amortized to depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the related non-cancelable lease term. Lease costs incurred under our residential leases are expensed as incurred.
r. Underwriting Commissions and Costs – Underwriting commissions and costs incurred in connection with our stock offerings are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital in stockholders’ equity.
Any references to square footage, property count or occupancy percentages, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial instruments are determined based upon applicable accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximated their carrying value because of their short-term nature. The fair value of the consolidated loans payable, Corporate Credit Facility and the secured line of credit approximated their carrying values as they are variable-rate instruments under Level 2. The warrant liability is recorded at fair value under Level 2.
On an annual recurring basis, we are required to use fair value measures when measuring plan assets of our pension plans. As we elected to adopt the measurement date provisions of ASC 715, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” as of March 4, 2007, we were required to determine the fair value of our pension plan assets as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of pension plan assets was $
We recognized the fair values of all derivatives in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets based on Level 2 information. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. The

changes in the fair value of the derivative is offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset through interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Reported net loss may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of hedging instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.

We currently plan to continue to maintain the Syms pension plan and make all contributions required under applicable minimum funding rules; however, we may terminate it at any time. In the event we terminate the plan, we intend that any such termination would be a standard termination. Although we have accrued the liability associated with a standard termination, we have not taken any steps to commence such a termination and currently have no intention of terminating the pension plan. In accordance with minimum funding requirements and court ordered allowed claims distributions, we paid approximately $
