BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 20182019



Note 1 – Organization and Background


BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and develops multi‑familymulti-family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Generally, the multi-family properties are acquired with joint venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At March 31, 2018,2019, the Company owns: (a) 3436 multi-family properties with 9,63210,008 units (including 445 units at two properties engaged in lease-up activities and 402 units at a property under development)that commenced leasing activities in the current quarter), located in 1112 states with a carrying value of $982,801,000;$1,066,988,000; and (b) interests in three unconsolidated multi-family joint ventures with 1,026 units (including 339 units in lease-up) located in two states with a carrying value of $20,637,000.$19,125,000.


Note 2 – Basis of Preparation


The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018,2019, and for the three and six months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, has been derived from the auditedunaudited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP").  Accordingly, these unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 10, 2018, for complete financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑familymulti-family properties were determined to be VIEs because the voting rights of some equity investors in the applicable joint venture entity are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The joint ventures that own properties in Ocoee, FL, Lawrenceville, GA, Dallas, TX, Farmers Branch, TX and St. Louis, MOGrand Prairie, TX were determined not to be a VIEs but are consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entities.
With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, as (i) the Company is primarilygenerally the managing member but does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities or the Company is not the managing member and (ii) such entities are not VIEs, the Company has determined that such joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes.


The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.  
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one yearone-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.


In February 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. The change is intended to better align the Company’s fiscal year with the fiscal year of other multi-family REITs. As a result of the change in fiscal year, (i) the Company’s 2019 fiscal year began on January 1, 2019 and
8
ends on December 31, 2019 and (ii) the Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-Q (a "Transition Report") covering the transition period from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.

Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding during such period. The Units are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and deemed to be outstanding during such period. ForIn calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company, for the three and six months ended (i) March 31, 2019, did not include any shares underlying the Units as their effect would have been anti-dilutive and (ii) March 31, 2018, the Company included 200,000shares of common stock underlying the Units inas only the calculation of diluted earning per share as a market criteria with respect to such units, hasthe Units had been met at March 31, 2018.2018.

Impairment Charges


The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the three and six months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, no impairment charges were recorded.


Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities


The Company conducts a largesignificant portion of its business with joint venture partners. Many of the Company's consolidated joint ventures that own properties were determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs")VIEs because the voting rights of some equity partners are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected loses of the entity and their rights to receive expected

11

Note 1211 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value


The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:


Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.


Junior subordinated notes: At March 31, 20182019 and September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $12,865,000$11,978,000 and $15,705,000$11,974,000, respectively, based on a market interest rate of 7.18%7.61% and 6.37%7.79%, respectively.


Mortgages payable: At March 31, 2018,2019, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $23,145,000$8,096,000, assuming market interest rates between 3.99%3.56% and 5.66%5.33% and at September 30, 2017,December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was lower than their carrying value by approximately $11,400,000$19,334,000 assuming market interest rates between 3.78%3.94% and 5.02%5.61%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.


Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value assumptions.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value


The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 20182019 (dollars in thousands):

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At March 31, 2018,2019, these derivatives are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.


Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with them utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivatives valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 1312 – Derivative Financial Instruments


Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk


The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives isare to add stability to interest expense and to to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.


The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

Non-designated Derivatives

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. As a result of a mortgage refinancing of an adjustable rate loan to a fixed rate loan, at March 31, 2019, the Company had an interest rate cap with a notional value of $9,200,000 that was not designated as a hedge in a qualifying hedge relationship. At March 31, 2019, this derivative had no value.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as its classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated (amounts(dollars in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features


The agreement between the Company and its derivative counterparties provides that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.



Note 1413 – New Accounting Pronouncements


In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which prescribes a single, common revenue standards whichstandard that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP, including most industry-specific requirements. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five step model to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein,therein. The Company's revenues are primarily derived from rental income, which is scoped out from this standard and is currently accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company adopted this standard effective October 1, 2018, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach, withapplying the cumulative

Further, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This amendment provides a rightnew practical expedient that allows lessors, by class of useunderlying asset, to avoid separating lease and associated non-lease components within a related liabilitycontract if the following criteria are met: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the rightsnon-lease component and obligationsthe associated with a lease regardless ofcomponent are the same, and (ii) the stand-alone lease classification, and recognizecomponent would be classified as an operating lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting (ii) eliminates most real estate specific lease provisions, and (iii) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard.if accounted for separately.

As a lessee, the Company is party to a ground lease, and an operating lease with future payment obligations for which the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments upon adoption of the new leasing standard will result in an immaterial increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, with no material impact to our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.this standard.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues and how to reduce diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows.

The Company is currently evaluatingadopted this standard effective October 1, 2018, using the new“cumulative earnings approach” whereby distributions received from equity method investments are classified as cash flows from operations to the extent of equity earnings and then as cash flows from investing activities thereafter. The adoption of this guidance to determine the impact, if any,did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-018, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic(Topic 230): Restricted Cash, (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force).

cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose relevant information about the nature of the restrictions on the basis of their individual facts and circumstances. The Company adopted this standard effective dateOctober 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Overview


General


We are an internally manageda real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is focused on the ownership, operation and development of multi‑familymulti-family properties. These activitiesproperties derive revenue from tenant rental payments. Generally, these properties are conducted primarily throughowned by consolidated joint ventures in which we have a substantial ownership position.contributed 65% to 80% of the equity, with the balance of the equity contributed by our joint venture partner. At March 31, 2018,2019, we (i) own 3436 multi-family properties located in 1112 states with an aggregate of 9,63210,008 units (including 445 units at two properties engaged in lease up activities (i.e., Factory at Garco Park and Vanguard Heights) and 402 units at a property under development (i.e., Bells Bluff)Bluff - West Nashville, TN)) that commenced leasing activities in the current quarter, with a carrying value of $982.8 million$1.1 billion and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in three multi-family properties located in two states with 1,026 units (including 339 units at a property in lease-up) with a carrying value of $20.6$19.1 million. Most of our properties are located in the southeast United States and Texas.


As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to the 27 operating properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented and excludes properties that were in development or lease up during such periods. Retreat at Cinco Ranch, Katy, Texas, has been excluded from same store properties due to the damage it sustained from Hurricane Harvey. ForHarvey in 2017. 
Change in Fiscal Year

In February 2019, we changed our fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. The change is intended to better align our fiscal year with the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 22 same store properties and for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 21 same store properties.


Hurricane Harvey

In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage to our 268-unit Retreat at Cinco Ranch, Katy, Texas property. Amongfiscal year of other things, 96 of our ground floor units were rendered uninhabitable and as a result of the extensive damage to the common areas of the property (i.e., pool and clubhouse), we offered, rent concessions and other accommodations to induce tenancies for the second and third floor units to reside at the property.multi-family REITs. As a result of the damage caused by the hurricane, we reduced the carrying value of this property by $3.5 millionchange, our fiscal year began on January 1, 2019 and because we believed it was probable that we would recover such sum from our insurance coverage, we recognized $3.5 million in insurance recoveries. Through Marchwill end on December 31, 2018, we received approximately $7.4 million (including $686,000 in rental income as described below) in insurance recoveries related to the loss, of which $3.2 million is recorded as a gain on insurance recovery in the three and six months ended March 31, 2018.2019 .

Our business interruption insurance is covering our losses in rental income with respect to the ground floor units until such units are repaired and accordingly, we continue to accrue revenues to be generated from such units. Through March 31, 2018 we received $686,000 to cover lost rental income, of which $294,000 and $588,000 is recorded as rental income in the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. We are also seeking to recover from our insurance carriers the cost of rent concessions and other accommodations we previously offered tenants and prospective tenants, which totaled approximately $145,000. As of May 1, 2018, certain common areas have been restored and nine ground floor units have been restored and leased. We anticipate this property will be substantially repaired by September 2018. We continue to negotiate with our insurance carriers to ensure that we are fully compensated for the damages sustained at Retreat at Cinco Ranch as a result of Hurricane Harvey.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $850,000 of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of The Fountain Apartments and Waverly Place Apartments . In the six months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $799,000 of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of Spring Valley Apartments, Panama City, FL.
Incomestate tax (benefit) provision. In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we received a refund of state taxes related to a property sale in a prior year. The six months ended March 31, 2017 reflects state taxes paid as a result of income recognized at the state level, primarily from gains on property sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service obligations, acquire properties, make capital improvements and pay dividends. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of and distributions from, our multi-family properties our available cash (including restricted cash)distributions from the joint ventures that own such properties), mortgage debt financing andfinancings, equity contributions from our share of the net proceeds from the sale of multi-family properties. As a result of the at-the-market equity offering program that commenced January 11, 2018, we may, in the future, generate funds from the sale of our common stock. At March 31, 2018, and May 1, 2018, our available cash, excluding restricted cash of $7.7 million and $7.9 million respectively, intendedjoint venture partners for capital improvements at 17 multi-family properties, is approximately $31.0 million and $20.4 million, respectively.
We anticipate that operating expenses payable through 2019 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of our properties and that the debt service (including principal payments) payable in 2018 and 2019 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of the properties, the refinancing of mortgages,acquisitions, our share of the proceeds from the sale of our properties, and from salesthe sale of shares of our common stock if any.pursuant to our at-the-market equity distribution program, our credit facility and our available cash (including restricted cash). Our available liquidity at May 6, 2019, was $23.5 million, including $14.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $ 7.8 million of restricted cash and, subject to borrowing base requirements, $1.0 million available under our credit facility.  
    TheWe anticipate that (i) our operating expenses, dividend payments and $80.0 million of interest expense and mortgage amortization payments over the next two years will be funded from cash generated from the operations of our multi-family properties and, to the extent such sources are insufficient, from mortgage refinancing and/or sales of properties, and (ii) a $29.0 million balloon payment due with respect to a mortgage maturing in July 2019 (no mortgages are scheduled to mature in 2020) will be funded from the refinancing of such mortgage. (The mortgage debt with respect to the multi-familyour properties is generally is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary holding our interest in the applicable joint venture. venture). Our operating cash flow and available cash are insufficient to fully fund such balloon payment, and if we are unable to refinance such debt, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties on potentially less favorable terms.

Capital improvements at (i) 17 multi-family properties will be funded by approximately $7.8 million of restricted cash available at March 31, 2019 and the cash flow from operations at such properties and (ii) other properties will be funded from the cash flow from operations of such properties.

Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties is limited by our available cash, and our ability to (i) draw on our credit facility and (ii) obtain, on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders. Further, if and to the availabilityextent we generate ordinary taxable income, we will be required to make distributions to stockholders to maintain our REIT status and as a result, will be limited in our ability to use gains, if any, from property sales, as a source of mortgage debt.funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions.

We anticipate that the construction and other costs associated with completing the 402-unit Bells Bluff development  project will be funded by capital previously contributed by us and our joint venture partner andthe remaining in-place construction financing of up to $47.4$12.3 million. As of March 31, 2018, there have been no draws against this construction loan.

Credit Facility

We intendentered into a credit facility dated April 18, 2019, as amended, with VNB New York, LLC, an affiliate of Valley National Bank. The facility allows us to refinanceborrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $10 million. The facility is available for the adjustableacquisition of, and investment in, multi-family properties, is secured by the cash available in certain cash accounts maintained by the Company at VNB, matures April 2021 and bears an annual interest rate mortgages in aggregate principalof 50 basis points over the prime rate, with a floor 5%. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and maximum amount then available under the facility.  On May 2, 2019, we borrowed $9 million on the facility at an interest rate of 6.0%.

 The terms of the facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of $56.3 million at our twodebt service coverage with respect to the properties that(and amounts drawn on the facility) used in calculating the borrowing base, the minimum number of wholly owned properties and the minimum number of properties used in calculating the borrowing base. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of wholly owned properties are currently in lease up (Factory at Garco Park - N. Charleston, SC and Vanguard Heights, Creve Coeur, MO) with longer term fixed-rate financing once these properties has been stabilized; however, no assurance cangenerally required to be given that these properties will ever be stabilized, that financing will be available at such time or, if available, that it will be on terms acceptableused to us. These loans mature (after giving effect to extension options) in October 2020 and April 2019, respectively.repay amounts outstanding under the facility.

Cash Distribution Policy
We are taxedhave elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code”. To qualify as a REIT, accordingly we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute to our stockholders within the time frames prescribed by the Code at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income. Management currently intends to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to stockholders in accordance with the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for Federal taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income,(i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code).
We estimate that our net operating lossesloss at December 31, 2017 range2018 ranges from $15$10 million to $20$14 million; therefore, we are not currently required by Code provisions relating to REITs to pay cash dividends to maintain our status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each of OctoberJanuary 4, 2019 and April 5, 2017 and January 5, 2018, we paid a cash dividend of $0.18 per share, and on April 6, 2018,2019, we paid a cash dividend of $0.20 per share. Though we currently intend to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide any assurance that we will do so.

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations


We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
We compute FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write‑downswrite-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non- real estate assets.We compute AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight-line rent accruals, loss on extinguishment of debt, restricted stock and restricted stock unit expense, deferred mortgage costs and gain on insurance recovery. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks


All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than sevenfive mortgages, three of which are subject to interest rate swap agreements and one which is subject to an interestthat effectively fix the rate cap.at a fixed rate. With respect to the remaining three variablethose mortgages not subject to interest rate mortgages,swaps, an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would reduce annual net income by $589,000$641,000 and a decrease of 100 basis points would increase annual net income by $589,000.$641,000.

As of March 31, 2018,2019, we had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding and onean interest rate cap. The fair value of these derivative instruments is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At March 31, 2018,2019, if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of these derivative instruments and the net unrealized gain thereon would have increased by approximately $3.0$2.6 million and (ii) if there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of these derivatives and the net unrealized gain thereon would have decreased by approximately $3.2$2.8 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.


Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 2018,2019, the interest rate on these notes was 3.77%4.75%. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would increase our related interest expense by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would decrease our related interest expense by $374,000 annually.


As of March 31, 2018,2019, based on the number of residential units in each state, 30%31% of our properties are located in Texas, 16%15% in Georgia, 11%12% in Florida, 8% in Missouri, 8% in Mississippi, 7% in Tennessee, 7% in South Carolina and the remaining 13%20% in foursix other states; we are therefore subject to risks associated with the economies in these areas.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018.2019. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 20182019 are effective.


There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
