Foreclosures_highway_exitI have just posted "Scenario III : Sale of properties to fund debt repayment" for the latest forensic analysis REIT subject - Fire Sale Scenario Analysis. As stated in previous posts, this company is virtually a guaranteed bankruptcy. This piece is available to all paying subscribers. I urge all subscribers to download and review:

• Cashflows and Debt Preliminary Analysis
• Foreclosure Scenario Analysis
   Sample Property Valuation

Recapitalization and individual property analysis will be posted within the next few days. With those research postings, I feel I've covered every practical angle this company could take to kick the can down the road and the resultant findings are the exact same as they were before the analysis - bankruptcy, or a simulacrum of such, is unavoidable!

The “fire sale” or distressed asset disposition scenario seems like the least possible, least likely and the least practical scenario. The reason is that the Company’s portfolio has either properties (1) which have negative valuation after considering debt due on them or (2) have properties that don’t have specific debt against them but are mortgaged under the revolving credit facility.

Please see the details on valuation of 27 properties we have valued in the aforelinked document. As illustrated, almost all properties with a positive valuation (see Column L) lack property-specific debt against them. But all of these properties have been encumbered under the revolving credit facility. The properties not covered under the revolving credit facility and having positive valuation after deduction of debt due on them are as listed in the analysis. The total positive value of these three properties is around USD 36 mn which is insufficient to meet net refinancing requirement of USD 295 mn as detailed in the document. Again, a hard landing is absolutely unavoidable at this point.

This will not be the only real estate company to meet such a fate, and I have made it very clear in many a past post, TV interview and presentation.
