Explanatory Note

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to (i) “us”, “we”, “BRT” or the “Company” refer to BRT Apartments Corp. and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries; (ii) all interest rates give effect to the related interest rate derivative, if any; (iii) "acquisitions" include investments in and by unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) units under rehabilitation for which we have received or accrued rental income from business interruption insurance, while not physically occupied, are treated as leased (i.e., occupied) at rental rates in effect at the time of the casualty, and (v) "same store properties" refer to properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties that are under construction, in lease-up, or are undergoing development or redevelopment. We move properties previously excluded from our same store portfolio (because they were under construction, in lease up or are in development or redevelopment) into the same store designation once they have stabilized (as described below) and such status has been reflected fully in all quarters during the applicable periods of comparison. Newly constructed, lease-up, development and redevelopment properties are deemed stabilized upon the earlier to occur of the first full calendar quarter beginning (a) 12 months after the property is fully completed and put in service and (b) attainment of at least 90% physical occupancy.

In filing the Quarterly Report at this time, we are relying upon the order (the "Order") issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 25, 2020 pursuant to Section 36 (Release No. 34-88465) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), extending the time in which certain reports required to be filed pursuant to the Exchange Act are filed, and the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on May 11, 2020, pursuant to which we reported that we may be unable to file this Quarterly Report on a timely basis because of the impact of COVID-19, which, among other things, due to travel limitations and the requirements of "social distancing," had and would adversely impact the ability of the individuals preparing this report to complete such task on a timely basis. We were unable to file this Quarterly Report on the original May 11, 2020 due date because (i) of the impact of COVID-19 as disclosed above and (ii) management's devoting significant time and attention to assessing and responding to the impact of COVID-19.

See "Explanatory Note", "Risk Factors", "Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Non Reliance on Previously Reported Information" and Notes 2 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report") for information regarding the restatement (the "Restatement") of prior period financial statements and a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 20202021


Note 1 – Organization and Background

BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns and operates multi-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, 2020,2021, the Company: (a) wholly owns 8 multi-family properties located in 6 states with an aggregate of 1,880 units, and a carrying value of $158,224,000;$152,317,000 (including $16,800,000 classified as held for sale); and (b) has interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 31 multi-family properties located in 9 states with an aggregate of 9,162 units (including 741 units at 2 properties currently in lease-up) and the carrying value of this net equity investment is $185,863,000.$164,248,000. BRT's equity interests in these unconsolidated entities range from 32% to 90%. Most of the Company's properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.

The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At March 31, 2020,2021, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $14,310,000, including a real estate loan of $4,000,000$6,617,000.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020,2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, 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 months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2019,2020, has been derived from the audited 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 December 31, 2019,2020, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 15, 2020, for complete financial statements..
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries.
The joint venture that owns a propertyCompany accounts for its investments in Yonkers New York, was determined not to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures as (i)under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company is generallyevaluated the managing member butrights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs").

Note 4 - Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company owns one commercial rental property which is leased to two tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2024 to 2028, with tenant options to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, concession agreements were entered into with the Company’s two commercial tenants. In accordance with the FASB Staff Q&A, Topics 842 and 840 - Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic, a lessor may make an accounting policy election to (i) not evaluate whether such COVID-19 pandemic related rent-relief is a lease modification under ASC 842 and (ii) treat each tenant rent deferral or forgiveness as if it were contemplated as part of the existing lease contract. The Company elected to apply this accounting policy to the 2 lease agreements, based on the type of concession provided to the tenant, where the revised cash flows are substantially the same or less than the original lease agreement. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued total abatements of $75,000 for the 2tenants.

Note 1012 – Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsMeasurements

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, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $9,915,000$8,596,000 and $9,589,000,$8,670,000, respectively, based on a market interest rate of 5.95%4.19% and 6.41%4.22%, respectively.

Credit facility: At March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the credit facility is equal to its carrying value.

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.value.

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.

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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, these derivatives arethis derivative is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivativesderivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with themit 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.derivative. As a result, the Company determined that its derivativesderivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 1113 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and 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 changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income(Loss) income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

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 strict hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. At March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships.

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.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position including interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements was $20,000 and $25,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has not posted any collateral related to this agreement and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle it obligations under the agreement termination value of $20,000 and $25,000, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively.

This guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the currentfirst quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for leasesfuture LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, and requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and makes targetedmay apply other elections as applicable as additional changes to lessor accounting.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820. This amendment provides a new practical expedient that allows lessors, by class of underlying asset, to avoid separating lease and associated non-lease components within a contract if the following criteria are met: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the non-lease component and the associated lease component are the same, and (ii) the stand-alone lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. ASU 2016-02guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and2019, with early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standardguidance effective January 1, 2019, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. As a lessor, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (as amended by subsequent ASUs) did not change the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s rental revenues. 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 this standard.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The update better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to

The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

The amendments in this update permit the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).

Overview

General

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is focused on the ownership, and operation of multi-family properties. These properties derive revenue from tenant rental payments. Generally, these properties are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which we contributed 65%32% to 80%90% of the equity. At March 31, 2020,2021, we: (i) wholly own eight multi-family properties located in six states with an aggregate of 1,880 units and a carrying value of $158.2$152.3 million; and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 31 multi-family properties located in nine states with 9,162 units (including 741 units at two properties in lease-up) - the carrying value of our net equity investment therein is $185.9$164.2 million. MostThese 39 properties are located in 11 states; most of our properties are located in the southeast United States and Texas. See- "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" for information regarding the contributions of our unconsolidated subsidiaries and our reliance upon the cash flow and liquidity provided by such subsidiaries.

As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to operating properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented. For the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, there were seveneight same store properties.
Acquisition During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
On February 20, 2020, through an unconsolidated joint venture, we acquired an 80% interest in a 264 unit multi-family property located in Wilmington, NC. The purchase price of this property was $38.0 million, including assumed mortgage debt of $23.2 million and $17.1 million of equity. We contributed $13.7 million of the equity.

ATM Activity

In the quarter ended to March 31, 2020, we sold 694,298 shares of common stock for an aggregate sales price $12.3 million before commissions, fees and offering related expenses of $215,000.

Share Buyback

In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 39,093 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $15.76 per unit or $616,000.

Challenges and Uncertainties Presented by COVID-19

We are facing challenges resulting from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the nation-wide economic hardships resulting from the responses to the pandemic did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2020, and for April, May and through June 15, 2020, we collected 98%, 98% and 95% of amounts billed to tenants (which includes rent and certain ancillary charges) at multi-family properties owned by consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures (though such results are not necessarily indicative of future collections),2021, the pandemic, among other things, may adversely affect the ability of our residents to pay rent (due to furloughs, layoffs and/or the expiration of, or reduction in, unemployment benefits) and as a result, our ability to pay dividends and/or the debt service on our mortgages. Residents at several properties(e.g., Silvana Oaks Apartments-N. Charleston, SC and Crestmont at Thornblade-Greenville, SC., are employed by significant manufacturers(e.g., Boeing and BMW) and residents at other properties(e.g., Parkway Grande-San Marcos, TX and Chatham Court and Reflections-Dallas, TX) are students at nearby colleges or universities. Reductions in employment at these or other employers or changes to the programs offered at these or other educational institutions will make it more difficult for those residents to pay rent. The pandemic may also (i) require us to incur additional real estate operating expenses to maintain our properties and promote the health and safety of our residents, (ii) result in reduced revenues due to rent accommodations offered to current or prospective tenants, (iii) limit our ability to market our properties to prospective tenants, and delay efforts to implement value add programs and acquire or dispose of properties. The governmental response to the pandemic has resulted in further legislation regulating our relationships with our residents, including limitations on our ability to exercise various remedies with respect to residents that do not pay rent or other charges and may result in legislation limiting the rents we can charge or collect. The ultimate extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence.

Recent Developments

In February 2021, three of our unconsolidated joint venture properties located in Texas (i.e., Verandas at Shavano, Verandas at Alamo and The Woodland) sustained damage from several winter storms. As a result, each of these properties recorded impairment charges, of which BRT's proportionate share is $1.7 million, representing the net book value of the assets damaged. We anticipate that the cost to replace the damaged property and the lost rents will be covered by insurance and the properties have recorded insurance recoveries in an amount equal to the impairment charges.

On March 3, 2021, we entered into an agreement to sell Kendall Manor - Houston, TX, a wholly-owned property, to an unrelated third party for approximately $24.5 million and anticipate the transaction will close in May 2021. We estimate that during the quarter ending June 30, 2021, we will recognize a gain on the sale of this property of approximately $7.4 million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, our rental revenues, operating expenses, interest expense and depreciation expense associated with this property were $739,000, $456,000, $164,000 and $123,000, respectively.

Effective as of April 1, 2021, we and VNB New York, LLC, an affiliate of Valley National Bank, entered into a modification agreement with respect to our credit facility. The modification (i) increased the amount we are permitted to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, from $10 million to $15 million, (ii) extended the term of the facility from April 18, 2021 to April 18, 2023 and (iii) increased the number of wholly-owned properties we are required to own from three to four and modified certain requirements with respect to such properties.

On April 20, 2021, we completed the sale of our 80% interest in Anatole Apartments - Daytona Beach, FL, to our joint venture partner, for $7.5 million. We estimate that during the quarter ending June 30, 2021, we will recognize a gain on sale of our partnership interest of $2.2 million from such sale.

On May 4, 2021, we purchased an additional 14.69% interest in Civic Center I and Civic Center II - Southaven, MS, from our joint venture partner for $6.0 million. After giving effect to such purchase, we own 74.69% of the venture that owns this property.

On May 7, 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire the 41.9% interest (the “Remaining Interest”) owned by our joint venture partners in the entity that owns Bells Bluff, a 402-unit multi-family property located in West Nashville, TN. If we acquire the Remaining Interest, Bells Bluff will be wholly-owned by us. The purchase price for the Remaining Interest, after giving effect to our partners’ carried interest, is approximately $28 million, subject to working capital and certain other adjustments. We anticipate that this purchase will be completed in the summer of 2021. The completion of this purchase is subject to customary closing conditions, including the refinancing of the $47.2 million floating rate (i.e., 2.975% at March 31, 2021) mortgage debt on the property. See Part II, Item 5. "Other Information"

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service, acquire properties, make capital improvements, fund capital contributions, pay dividends and, pay dividends.to the extent we deem appropriate, reduce other than in the ordinary course, our indebtedness over time. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity arehave been the operations of our multi-family properties (including distributions from the joint ventures that own such properties), mortgage debt financings and refinancings,re-financings, equity contributions for acquisitions from our joint venture partners, our share of the proceeds from the sale of properties, the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our at-the-market equity distribution program, borrowings from our credit facility and our available cash (including restricted cash). Our available liquidity at June 1, 2020, was $33.4 million, including $18.5 million ofOn March 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents, $9.9were approximately $19.4 million of restricted cash and subject to borrowing base requirements, up to $5.0$22.0 million, of remaining availability underrespectively, and excludes funds held at our credit facility.unconsolidated joint ventures.
We anticipate that through 2022,2023, our operating expenses, $126.9$122.7 million of mortgage amortization and interest expense and $182.9$177.0 million of balloon payments (including $106.8$108.0 million and $108.2$102.4 million, respectively, from unconsolidated joint ventures) due with respect to mortgages maturing from 20202021 to 2022,2023, estimated cash dividend payments of at least $ 37.8$42.6 million (assuming (i) the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.22 per share and (ii) 17.217.6 million shares outstanding), will be funded from cash generated from operations (including distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures), mortgage refinancing, sales of properties and our credit facility and the issuance of additional equity.facility. Our operating cash flow and available cash is insufficient to fully fund the $182.9$177.0 million of balloon payments, and if we are unable to refinance such debt, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties, in each case on potentially unfavorable terms.
Capital improvements at (i) 2018 multi-family properties will be funded by approximately $9.9$8.5 million of restricted cash available at June 1, 2020March 31, 2021 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 (including our acquisition of our partner's interestthe Remaining Interest in properties owned byBells Bluff and the interests of joint ventures)venture partners in other properties), is limited by our available cash, and our ability to (i) draw on our credit facility, (ii) obtain, on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders, and (iii) raise capital from the sale of our common stock.stock, and (iv) use the net proceeds available to us from other property sales. Further, if and to the extent 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 funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions.

Junior Subordinated Notes
As of March 31, 2020,2021, $37.4 million (excluding deferred costs of $332,000)$312,000) in principal amount of our junior subordinated notes is outstanding. These notes mature in April 2036, contain limited covenants (including covenants prohibiting us from paying dividends or repurchasing capital stock if there is an event of default (as defined therein) on these notes), are redeemable at our option and bear an interest rate, which resets and is payable quarterly, of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the interest rate on these notes was 3.77%2.21% and 4.75%3.77%, respectively.
Credit Facility
We entered into aOur credit facility dated April 18, 2019, as amended from time to time, with VNB New York, LLC, an affiliate of Valley National Bank. The facilityBank(collectively, "VNB") as amended and modified from time to time, allows us to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $10$15 million. The facility is available for the (i) acquisition of, and investment in, multi-family properties, forand (ii) working capital (including dividend payments) and operating expenses. It is secured by the cash available in certain cash accounts maintained by the Company at VNB, matures April 20212023 and bears an annual interest rate of 50 basis points over the prime rate, with a floor of 5%4.25%. At March 31, 2021, the annual interest rate on this facility was 4.25%. 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.

The terms of the facility include certainincludes 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 debt service coverage with respect to the properties (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 generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the facility.

We are in compliance in all material respects with the facility.

unconsolidated joint ventures which own multi-family properties. Theproperties and that the distributions from the properties owned by these joint venturesventure properties ($3.03.9 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2020)2021) are a material source of our liquidity and cash flow. Further, we may be required to make significant capital contributions with respect to these properties. At March 31, 2020,2021, these joint venture properties have a net equity carrying value of $185.9$164.3 million and are subject to net mortgage debt, which is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet, of $831.7$828.6 million. Although BRT Apartments Corp. is not the obligor with respect to such mortgage debt, the loss of any of these properties due to mortgage foreclosure or similar proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These joint venture arrangements have been, and we anticipate that they will continue to be, material to our liquidity and capital resource position. See note 79 to our consolidated financial statements.

Cash Distribution Policy
We have 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).
Our net operating loss at December 31, 2019 is2020 was estimated to be approximately $16.8$32.7 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 April 7, 2020 and July 9, 2020,2021, we paid or will pay a cash dividend of $0.22 per share.

We are carefully monitoring our discretionary spending, particularly in light of the potential reduction in the base cash rent from tenants due to the economic challenges resulting from the pandemic. Our largest recurring discretionary expenditure has been our quarterly dividend (which was $.22$ 0.22 per share of common stock, or in the approximate amount of $ 3.8$3.8 million, for the most recent quarter). Each quarter, our board of directors evaluates the timing and amount of our dividend based on its assessment of, among other things, our short and long- term cash and liquidity requirements, prospects, debt maturities, projections of our REIT taxable income, net income, funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations and the dividend policies of our peers.

Table of Contents
Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from OperationsOperations; Net Operating Income

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 (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. 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.Weassets. 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 carrying value of real estate assets diminishes predictably 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.

Net Operating Income, or NOI, is a non-GAAP measure of performance. NOI is used by our management and many investors to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends at our properties and to determine the estimated fair value of our properties. The usefulness of NOI may be limited in that it does not take into account, among other things, general and administrative expense, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, casualty losses, insurance recoveries and gains or losses as determined by GAAP. NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole.
We compute NOI, by adjusting net income (loss) to (a) add back (1) depreciation expense, (2) general and administrative expenses, (3) interest expense, (4) loss on extinguishment of debt, (5) equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, (6) provision for taxes, (7) the impact of non-controlling interests, and (b) deduct (1) other income, (2) gain on sale of real estate, and (3) gain on insurance recoveries related to casualty loss. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income (loss). NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to NOI of our consolidated properties for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, NOI decreased $23,000,increased $291,000, from the corresponding period in 2020, primarily due to the sale of two properties in July 2019 which was offset by an increase due to the Partner Buyout and the consolidation of the property and ana $350,000 increase in same store NOI. Same store NOI increased $55,000 primarily due to increased revenues of $248,000 from increased rental rates offset by a $193,000$59,000 increase in operating expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than one mortgage, which is subject to an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixfixes the rate at a fixedinterest rate.

As of March 31, 2020, we had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding. The2021, the fair value of thesethis derivative instrumentsinstrument is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At March 31, 2020,2021, if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of this derivative instruments and the net unrealized gain thereon would have increased by approximately $19,000$9,000 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 $19,000.$9,000. 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, 2020,2021, the interest rate on these notes was 3.77%2.21%. 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$71,000 annually.


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 our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020.2021.

As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual Report, on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, a material weakness was identified in the internal controls over financial reporting related to the consolidation of properties that should have been accounted for using the equity method of accounting rather than consolidated.

After considering the progress ofDespite the remediation plan noteddescribed below, and considering thatbecause we have not acquired any properties since the restatement (the "Restatement") of our financial statements in the Spring of 2020, there has not been an appropriate opportunity to test the enhanced controls have not been sufficiently tested to concludedconclude they are operating effectively, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance, and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.

Due to the material weakness, subsequentSubsequent to March 31, 2020, management implemented a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness. We made significant changes to the process of evaluating the accounting for investments in property ventures. Specifically, we have implemented procedures to assess each investment in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance and prepare an analysis spreadsheet that highlights the key criteria and decision points leading to the consolidation or equity method determination. Specific multi-level reviews of this enhanced documentation have been implemented to ensure that i) the correct contract terms are included in the analyses and ii) the criteria and decision points are properly assessed. As these controls operate over a subjective area, include management judgment, and require certain technical and operationoperational expertise, we have determined them to be management review controls. Additionally, due to the technical knowledge needed to perform the analysis and review, we have also implemented additional required training on the subject matter (i.e.(i.e., consolidation accounting). We have implemented the enhanced procedures and documentation standards and our plan is to test the remediation of this material weakness by the end of 2020,2021, subject to there being sufficient opportunities to conclude, through testing, that the enhanced control is operating effectively.

Despite the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting,foregoing, our management has concluded that, the financial statements fairly present in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Our failure to comply with our obligations under our debt instruments may reduce our stockholders’ equity, and adversely affect our net income and ability to pay dividends.

If the lender called a default and required us to repay the full amount outstanding under such instrument, we might be required to rapidly dispose of our properties, including properties securing such debt instruments, which could have an adverse impact on the amounts we receive on such disposition.

Houston Pizza Venture, LP,to principal, and Papa John’s USA., Inc. et.al., 129th Judicial District, Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2019-42425), alleging the wrongful death as a result, acceleration of the debt under any debt instrument many result in a “balloon” payment for the entire principal amount. In 2021, a lender notified us that we were not in compliance with a financial covenant under a debt instrument and subsequently waived such non-compliance for the applicable reporting period. If we are unable to dispose of our properties in a timely fashion to the satisfaction of the lender or if the net operating income from the properties decreases during the measured period to an extent that applicable target coverage ratios cannot be met, such lender could exercise remedies available to it under the applicable debt instrument and as otherwise provided by law, including the possible appointment of a homicidereceiver to manage the property, application of a delivery persondeposits or reserves maintained under the debt instrument for payment of the debt, or foreclose and/or cause the forced sale of the property or asset securing such debt.
