NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (“Company”), a Maryland Corporation, is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), engaged in the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers in the metropolitan tri-state area outside of the City of New York. The Company's major tenants include supermarket chains and other retailers who sell basic necessities. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company owned or had equity interests in 8180 properties containing a total of ~~5.3~~5.2 million square feet of Gross Leasable Area (“GLA”).

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”) by the World Health Organization as the disease spread throughout the world. During March 2020, measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were initiated, ~~primarily focused on social distancing practices. The virus continued to spread among more populated cities and communities resulting in~~with federal, state and local government agencies issuing regulatory orders enforcing social distancing and limiting certain business operations and group gatherings in order to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. While ~~laws~~these regulatory orders vary by state ~~generally, businesses deemed essential to the public are able to operate while non-essential businesses are not. Grocery stores, pharmacies~~ and ~~wholesale clubs, which anchor properties that make up 84%~~have changed over time, as of April 30, 2021 all of our ~~GLA, are considered essential~~tenants’ businesses and have remained open and operational to serve the residents of their communities. Many restaurants are also considered essential, although the social distancing and group gathering limitations generally prevent dine-in activity, forcing them to evaluate alternate means of operations, such as delivery, pick-up or to elect to remain closed during this pandemic. In some jurisdictions, select non-essential businesses have beenwere permitted to operate, ~~through curbside pick-up and other~~in some cases subject to modified ~~operating~~operation procedures. ~~The~~Although the duration and severity of this pandemic are still uncertain, there is reason to believe that the success of vaccination efforts in the U.S. is leading to a decline in COVID-19 cases and ~~continue~~having a positive impact on businesses, as federal, state and local restrictions are lifted and individuals begin returning to ~~evolve.~~pre-pandemic activities.

~~Management cannot,~~As with every reporting period, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate investments may be impaired and has concluded that none of its investment properties are impaired at ~~this point, estimate ultimate losses related to~~April 30, 2021. However, the COVID-19 pandemic ~~and accordingly no property impairment charges were reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income related to this matter. The COVID-19 pandemic, however,~~ has significantly impacted many of the ~~retail~~ sectors in which the Company’s tenants operate and if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact toon the underlying businesses of many of the Company’s tenants. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators. In addition, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, in the near term, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company will continue to monitor its portfolio for any material or adverse effects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 9 in the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company meets certain criteria in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation”. The Company has determined that such joint ventures should be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. In accordance with ASC Topic 970-323 “Real Estate-General-Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” joint ventures that the Company does not control but otherwise exercises significant influence over, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Note 4 for further discussion of the unconsolidated joint ventures. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition, fair value estimates, and the collectability of tenant receivables and other assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The consolidated balance sheet at October 31, ~~2019~~2020 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). Under those sections, a REIT that, among other things, distributes at least 90% of real estate trust taxable income and meets certain other qualifications prescribed by the Code will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income that is distributed. The Company believes it qualifies as a REIT and intends to distribute all of its taxable income for fiscal ~~2020~~2021 in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” that, among other things, defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that it has no uncertain tax positions and no unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, ~~2020.~~2021. As of April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the fiscal tax years ~~2016~~2017 through and including ~~2019~~2020 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. There are currently no federal tax examinations in progress.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and tenant receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions and the balances at times could exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its tenants and may require certain tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the terminal value of a tenant’s lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rent and the costs associated with re-tenanting the space. The Company has no dependency upon any single tenant.

Marketable Securities

Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices in active markets with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In March 2020, the Company purchased REIT securities in the amount of $7 million. At April 30, 2020, the Company had an unrealized gain on marketable securities in the amount of $109,000 which is included in the consolidated statement of income for the six and three months ended April 30, 2020.

The Company owned the following marketable equity securities as of April 30, 2020. The unrealized gain on the Company's marketable equity securities at April 30, 2020 is detailed below (in thousands):

REIT Securities $ 7,092 $ 6,983 $ 109 $ 109 $ -

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment, and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments must be effective in reducing the Company’s interest rate risk exposure in order to qualify for hedge accounting. When the terms of an underlying transaction are modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceases to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income for each period until the derivative instrument matures or is settled. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet the hedging criteria is marked-to-market with the changes in value included in net income. The Company has not entered into, and does not plan to enter into, derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Additionally, the Company has a policy of entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions.

As of April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company believes it has no significant risk associated with non-performance of the financial institutions that are the counterparties to its derivative contracts. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had approximately ~~$127.9~~$125.4 million in secured mortgage financings subject to interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps converted the LIBOR-based variable rates on the mortgage financings to an average fixed annual rate of 3.93% per annum. As of April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had a deferred liability of ~~$14.9~~$8.3 million and ~~$6.8~~$13.3 million, respectively (included in accounts payable and accrued ~~expense~~expenses on the consolidated balance sheets), relating to the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps applicable to secured mortgages.

Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in fair values of such interest rate swaps are made to other comprehensive income/(loss) as the swaps are deemed effective and are classified as a cash flow hedge.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income applicable to Common and Class A Common stockholders and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are otherwise recorded directly in stockholders’ equity, such as unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, including the Company's share from entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized losses on interest rate swap agreements of ~~$17.5~~$10.0 million, inclusive of the Company's share of accumulated comprehensive losses from joint ventures accounted for by the equity method of accounting. At October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of net unrealized losses on interest rate swap agreements of approximately ~~$8.5~~$15.7 million, inclusive of the Company's share of accumulated comprehensive losses from joint ventures accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income/(loss) will be reclassified into earnings as gains and losses are realized.

Asset Impairment

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate investments may be impaired. A property value is considered impaired when management’s estimate of current and projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) of the property over its remaining useful life is less than the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the net carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the asset. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in the Company’s plans or market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses which could be substantial. As described above, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a broad impact on the global and U.S. economies. Management cannot, at this point, estimate the current impact related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the fair value of the Company's assets, and accordingly, as of April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, management does not believe that the value of any of its real estate investments is impaired. However, as described above, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted many of the retail sectors in which the Company’s tenants operate and if the effects of the pandemic are ~~impaired.~~prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact to the underlying businesses of many of the Company’s tenants. The Company will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will continue to assess its asset portfolio for any impairment indicators.

Acquisitions of Real Estate Investments, Capitalization Policy and Depreciation

Acquisition of Real Estate Investments:

The Company evaluates each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly hold real estate assets) to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:

• Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or

• The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction).

An acquired process is considered substantive if:

• The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;

• The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or

• The process is considered unique or scarce.

Generally, the Company expects that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings, and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.

Acquisitions of real estate and in-substance real estate that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business combinations except that the acquisition consideration (including acquisition costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. As a result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. The relative fair values used to allocate the cost of an asset acquisition are determined using the same methodologies and assumptions as the Company utilizes to determine fair value in a business combination.

The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of value on an “as if vacant” basis. The value of acquired in-place leases includes the estimated costs during the hypothetical lease-up period and other costs that would have been incurred in the execution of similar leases under the market conditions at the acquisition date of the acquired in-place lease. We assess the fair value of tangible and intangible assets based on numerous factors, including estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

The values of acquired above and below-market leases, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities, respectively, are amortized over the terms of the related leases and recognized as either an increase (for below-market leases) or a decrease (for above-market leases) to rental revenue. The values of acquired in-place leases are classified in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases.

Capitalization Policy:

Land, buildings, property improvements, furniture/fixtures and tenant improvements are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renovations and/or replacements, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation:

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful life of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income.

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings	30-40 years
Property Improvements	10-20 years
Furniture/Fixtures	3-10 years
Tenant Improvements	Shorter of lease term or their useful life

Sale of Investment Property and Property Held for Sale

The Company reports properties that are either disposed of or are classified as held for sale in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income if the removal, or anticipated removal, of the asset(s) from the reporting entity does not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when disposed of.

In March 2021, the Company sold its property located in Hillsdale, NJ (the "Hillsdale Property") to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $1.3 million, as that property no longer met the Company's investment objectives. In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Contracts with Customers, the Company recorded a gain on sale in the amount of $435,000 in its consolidated income statements for the six months and three months ended April 30, 2021, when the Company's performance obligation was met, the transfer of the property's title to the buyer and when consideration was received from the buyer for that performance obligation.

In ~~August 2019,~~March 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its property located in ~~Bernardsville, NJ~~Newington, NH (the ~~"Bernardsville~~"Newington Property"), to an unrelated third party for a sale price of ~~$2.7~~$13.4 million as that property no longer met ~~its~~the Company's investment objectives. In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-45, the property met all the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the ~~fourth~~second quarter of fiscal 2019, and accordingly the Company recorded a loss on property held for sale of $434,000, which loss was included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended October 31, 2019. The amount of the loss represented the net carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell.2021. The net book value of the ~~Bernardsville~~Newington Property was insignificant to financial statement presentation, and as a result the Company did not include the asset as held for sale on its consolidated balance sheet at ~~October 31, 2019.~~ April 30, 2021.

In ~~December 2019 (fiscal 2020), the Bernardsville Property sale was completed and~~accordance with ASC Topic 840, Contracts with Customers, the Company ~~realized an additional loss on sale of property of $86,000, which loss is included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended April 30, 2020.~~

In January 2020, the Company sold for $1.3 million its retail property located in Carmel, NY (the "Carmel Property"), as that property no longer met the Company's investment objectives. In conjunction with the sale, the Company realizedanticipates it will record a ~~loss~~gain on sale of the ~~Carmel property~~Newington Property in the approximate amount of ~~$242,000, which loss~~$11.9 million, when the Company's performance obligation is ~~included~~met, the transfer of the property's title to the buyer and when consideration is received from the buyer for that performance obligation.

Lease Income, Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables

Lease Income:

The Company accounts for lease income in accordance with ASC Topic 842 "Leases".

The Company's existing leases are generally classified as operating leases. However, certain longer-term leases (both lessee and lessor leases) may be classified as direct financing or sales type leases, which may result in selling profit and an accelerated pattern of earnings recognition.

The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms that generally provide for fixed payments of base rent, with designated increases over the term of the lease. Some of the lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on tenants' sales volume ("percentage rent"). Percentage rents are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Additionally, most all lease agreements contain provisions for reimbursement of the tenants' share of actual real estate taxes, insurance and Common Area Maintenance ("CAM") costs (collectively, "Recoverable Costs") incurred.

Lease terms generally range from 1 to 5 years for tenant spaces under 10,000 square feet (“Shop Space”) and in excess of 5 years for spaces greater than 10,000 square feet (“Anchor Spaces”). Many leases also provide the option for the tenants to extend their lease beyond the initial term of the lease. If the tenants do not exercise renewal options and the leases mature, the tenants must relinquish their space so it can be leased to a new tenant, which generally involves some level of cost to prepare the space for re-leasing. These costs are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the life of the subsequent lease or the life of the improvement.

On November 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance in ASC Topic 842, Leases, including all related Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU's”). The Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition method provided in ASU 2018-11 (the "adoption date method"). Under this method, the effective date of November 1, 2019 is the date of initial application. In connection with the adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company elected a package of practical expedients, transition options, and accounting policy elections as follows:

Package of practical expedients - applied to all leases, allowing the Company not to reassess (i) whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, (ii) lease classification for expired or existing leases, and (iii) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842; and

Lessor separation and allocation practical expedient - the Company elected, as lessor, to aggregate non-lease components with the related lease component if certain conditions are met, and account for the combined component based on its predominant characteristic, which generally results in combining lease and non-lease components of its tenant lease contracts to a single line shown as lease income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

The Company's existing leases were not re-evaluated and continue to be classified as operating leases, as per the practical expedient package elected above. New and modified leases will now require evaluation of specific classification criteria, which, based on the customary terms of the Company's leases, should continue to be classified as operating leases. However, certain longer-term leases (both lessee and lessor leases) may be classified as direct financing or sales type leases, which may result in selling profit and an accelerated pattern of earnings recognition.

CAM is a non-lease component of the lease contract under ASC Topic 842, and therefore would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and presented separate from lease income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, based on an allocation of the overall contract price, which is not necessarily the amount that would be billable to the tenants for CAM reimbursements per the terms of the lease contract. As the timing and pattern of providing the CAM service to the tenant is the same as the timing and pattern of the tenants' use of the underlying lease asset, the Company, ~~elected, as part of the package of practical expedients, to combine~~in accordance with ASC Topic 842, combines CAM with the remaining lease components, along with tenants' reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance, and recognize them together as lease income in the accompanying ~~Statements~~consolidated statements of ~~Operations.~~income.

Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases for which collectability is considered probable at the commencement date. At lease commencement, the Company expects that collectability is probable for all of its leases due to the Company’s credit checks on tenants and other creditworthiness analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from all operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. Lease income each period is reduced by amounts considered ~~uncollectible~~uncollectable on a lease-by-lease basis, with any changes in collectability assessments recognized as a current period adjustment to lease income. For operating leases in which collectability of lease income is not considered probable, lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized ~~uncollectible~~uncollected lease income, including straight-line rental income, is reversed in the period in which the lease income is determined not to be probable of collection.

~~ASC Topic 842 also changes the treatment of leasing costs, such that non-contingent internal leasing and legal costs associated with leasing activities can no longer be capitalized.~~ The Company, as a lessor, may only defer as initial direct costs the incremental costs of a tenant operating lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. These costs generally include third party broker payments, which are capitalized to deferred costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the expected term of the lease to depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

~~There was no change to operating income as a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 842 and related ASU's.~~

COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning in March 2020, many of the Company's properties were, and some continue to be, negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as state governments mandated restrictions on the ~~closure~~operation of non-essential businesses to prevent the spread of COVID-19, forcing many of our tenants’ businesses to close or reduce operations. As a result, 401 of approximately ~~339 of 900~~863 tenants in the Company's consolidated portfolio, representing ~~1.4~~1.6 million square feet and approximately ~~37.7%~~45.0% of the Company's annualized base rent, ~~have~~ asked for some type of rent deferral or concession. Subsequently, approximately 118 of the 401 tenants withdrew their requests for rent relief or paid their rent in full.We continued to receive a smaller number of new requests even after businesses began to re-open, and in some cases, follow-on requests from tenants to whom we had already provided rent relief, but these requests are beginning to taper off and no new requests from tenants who had not previously requested rent relief were received during the quarter ended April 30, 2021. The Company ~~is evaluating each request~~has evaluated, and will continue to evaluate any requests on a case-by-case basis to determine an appropriate course of action, recognizing that in many cases some type of concession may be appropriate and beneficial to the long-term interests of the Company. In evaluating these requests, the Company ishas been considering, and will continue to consider, many factors, including the tenant's financial strength, the tenant's operating history, potential co-tenancy impacts, the tenant's contribution to the shopping center in which it operates, the Company's assessment of the tenant's long-term viability, the difficulty or ease with which the tenant could be replaced and other factors. ~~Although each~~Each negotiation ~~will be~~is specific to ~~that~~the tenant itmaking the request. The primary strategy of the Company is ~~the Company’s intention~~ that most of these concessions will be in the form of deferred rent for some portion of rents due infor the months of April 2020 through ~~June~~December 2020 or potentially for a portion of fiscal 2021, to be paid over a later part of the lease, preferably within a period of one ~~to two years~~year or less. AsIn some instances, however, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to abate some portion of base rents for the months of April 2020 through December 2020, or potentially for a portion of fiscal 2021 and for one tenant, through fiscal 2023. From the onset of COVID-19 through April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company has completed 12274 lease modifications, consisting of base rent deferrals totaling $3.8 million and ~~many other modifications are~~rent abatements totaling $3.7 million. Included in ~~progress. The Company has increased its uncollectable~~the aforementioned amounts were 40 and 8 rent deferrals and abatements completed in ~~lease income for~~ the six and three months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021, respectively, which deferred $426,000 and $26,000 of base rents and abated $2.3 million and $287,000 of base rents in the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, respectively. The $287,000 in rent abatements completed in the three months ended April 30, 2021 included $84,000 in base rents due for ~~tenants it felt were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic (see note 5)~~periods after April 30, 2021.

In April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the FASB staff issued guidance that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, as ~~though~~if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the lease contract). Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each lease contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the lease contract and ~~can~~may elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in Topic 842 to those contracts.

This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that reasonable judgment will be exercised in making those determinations.

Most concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease contract. A deferral affects the timing, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original lease contract. The FASB staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the staff believes are preferable over others. The Company has made ~~this~~the election not to ~~not~~ analyze each lease contract, and believes that, based on FASB guidance, the appropriate way to account for the concessions as described above is to account for ~~them~~such concessions as if no change to the lease contracts were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable (straight-line rents receivable) and would continue to recognize income during the deferral period, assuming that the collectability of the future rents under the lease contract are considered collectable. If it is determined that the future rents of any lease contract are not collectable, the Company would treat that lease contract on a cash basis as defined in ASC Topic 842.

~~The Company anticipates~~

When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is not considered probable, total lease revenue is limited to the lesser of revenue recognized under accrual accounting or cash received. Determining the probability of collection of substantially all lease payments during a lease term requires significant judgment. This determination is impacted by numerous factors, including our assessment of the tenant’s credit worthiness, economic conditions, tenant sales productivity in that ~~its variable lease income represented by~~location, historical experience with the ~~reimbursement of CAM and real estate taxes will not be materially affected for most national tenants~~tenant and tenants ~~with higher levels of credit and balance sheet resources. For smaller local tenants and tenants with fewer resources,~~operating in the Company has reduced its accruals for CAM and real estate taxes in anticipation of potentially having to reduce the amounts billed to these tenants at the end of calendar 2020. This has had the effect of reducing this portion of lease incomesame industry, future prospects for the ~~six~~tenant and ~~three months ended April 30, 2020.~~the industry in which it operates, and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in lease income.

Revenue Recognition

In those instances in which the Company funds tenant improvements and the improvements are deemed to be owned by the Company, revenue recognition on operating leases will commence when the improvements are substantially completed and possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant. When the Company determines that the tenant allowances are lease incentives, the Company commences revenue recognition when possession or control of the space is turned over to the tenant for tenant work to begin.

Lease termination amounts are recognized in operating revenues when there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property and the termination consideration is probable of collection. Lease termination amounts are paid by tenants who want to terminate their lease obligations before the end of the contractual term of the lease by agreement with the Company. There is no way of predicting or forecasting the timing or amounts of future lease termination fees. Interest income is recognized as it is earned. Gains or losses on disposition of properties are recorded when the criteria for recognizing such gains or losses under U.S. GAAP have been met.

Percentage rent is recognized when a specific tenant’s sales breakpoint is achieved.

Tenant Receivables

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in many of our tenants temporarily or even permanently closing their businesses, and for some, it has impacted their ability to pay rent.

As a result, in accordance with ASC Topic 842, we revised our collectability assumptions for many of our tenants that were most significantly impacted by COVID-19. During the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, we recognized collectability related adjustments totaling $3.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively. This amount includes changes in our collectability assessments for certain tenants in our portfolio from probable to not probable, which requires that revenue recognition for those tenants be converted to cash basis accounting, with previously uncollected billed rents reversed in the current period. This resulted in a reduction of lease income for the six and three months ended April 30, 2021 in the amount of $1.9 million and $893,000, respectively, related to tenants whose assessment of collectability was changed from probable to not probable, either in a prior period or in the current period. In addition, the Company wrote-off $1.3 million and $814,000 of previously recorded straight-line rent receivables related to tenants whose assessment of collectability was changed from probable to not probable in the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, respectively. As of April 30, 2021, the revenue from approximately 10.3% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) is being recognized on a cash basis.

At April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019, $20,006,000~~2020, $19,740,000 and ~~$19,395,000,~~$22,330,000, respectively, have been recognized as straight-line rents receivable (representing the current cumulative rents recognized prior to when billed and ~~collectible~~collectable as provided by the terms of the leases), all of which is included in tenant receivables in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. ~~Percentage rent is recognized when a specific tenant’s sales breakpoint is achieved.~~

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant receivables that is estimated to be ~~uncollectible.~~uncollectable. Such allowances are reviewed periodically. At April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and October 31, ~~2019,~~2020, tenant receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are shown net of allowances for doubtful accounts of ~~$6,761,000~~$8,638,000 and ~~$5,454,000,~~$8,769,000, respectively. Included in the aforementioned allowance for doubtful accounts is an amount for future tenant credit losses of approximately 10% of the deferred straight-line rents receivable which is estimated to be ~~uncollectible.~~uncollectable.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) excludes the impact of dilutive shares and is computed by dividing net income applicable to Common and Class A Common stockholders by the weighted average number of Common shares and Class A Common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common shares or Class A Common shares were exercised or converted into Common shares or Class A Common shares and then shared in the earnings of the Company. Since the cash dividends declared on the Company’s Class A Common stock are higher than the dividends declared on the Common Stock, basic and diluted EPS have been calculated using the “two-class” method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to the weighted average of the dividends declared, outstanding shares per class and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation between basic and diluted EPS (in thousands):

Segment Reporting

The Company's primary business is the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate, primarily neighborhood and ~~redevelopment~~community shopping centers, anchored by supermarkets, pharmacy/drug-stores and wholesale clubs, with a concentration in the metropolitan tri-state area of ~~retail properties.~~the City of New York. The Company reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and therefore, each property represents an individual operating segment. The Company evaluates financial performance using property operating income, which consists of base rental income and tenant reimbursement income, less rental expenses and real estate taxes. Only ~~one~~1 of the Company’s properties, located in Stamford, CT (“Ridgeway”), is considered significant as its revenue is in excess of 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues and accordingly is a reportable segment. The Company has aggregated the remainder of its properties as they share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies, are typically located in the same major metropolitan area, and have similar tenant mixes.

Ridgeway is located in Stamford, Connecticut and was developed in the 1950’s and redeveloped in the mid 1990’s. The property contains approximately 374,000 square feet of GLA. It is the dominant grocery-anchored center and the largest non-mall shopping center located in the City of Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation”, which requires that compensation expense be recognized, based on the fair value of the stock awards less estimated forfeitures. The fair value of stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for its stock awards by amortizing the fair value of stock awards over the requisite service periods of such awards. In certain cases as defined in the participant agreements, the vesting of stock awards can be accelerated, which will result in the Company charging to compensation expense the remaining unamortized restricted stock compensation related to those stock awards.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", ASU 2018-10 "Codification improvements to Topic 842, leases", ASU 2018-11 "Leases", and ASU 2018-20 "Leases, Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors", together ASC Topic 842 - Leases. ASC Topic 842 significantly changes the accounting for leases by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases greater than 12 months on their balance sheet. The lessor model stays substantially the same; however, there were modifications to conform lessor accounting with the lessee model, eliminate real estate specific guidance, further define certain lease and non-lease components, and change the definition of initial direct costs of leases requiring significantly more leasing related costs to be expensed upfront. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 on November 1, 2019, the first day of its fiscal year 2020. The Company has elected to apply the transition provisions of ASC Topic 842 at the beginning of the period of adoption, and therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted prior periods presented. The Company elected to apply certain adoption related practical expedients for all leases that commenced prior to the effective date. These practical expedients include not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements or disclosures therein. See Lease Income, Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables earlier in Note 1 for a more detailed explanation of the adoption.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).” ASU No. 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future 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 may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

The Company has evaluated all other new ASUs issued by FASB, and has concluded that these updates do not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of April 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

The Company has an investment in ~~five~~5 joint ventures, UB Orangeburg, LLC ("Orangeburg"), McLean Plaza Associates, LLC ("McLean"), UB Dumont I, LLC ("Dumont") and UB New City I, LLC ("New City"), each of which owns a commercial retail property, and UB High Ridge, LLC ("UB High Ridge"), which owns three commercial real estate properties. The Company has evaluated its investment in these ~~five~~5 joint ventures and has concluded that these joint ventures are fully controlled by the Company and that the presumption of control is not offset by any rights of any of the limited partners or non-controlling members in these ventures and that the joint ventures should be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company in accordance with ASC Topic 810 "Consolidation". The Company’s investment in these consolidated joint ventures is more fully described below:

Since purchasing ~~this property,~~acquiring its initial interest in Orangeburg, the Company has made additional investments in the amount of ~~$6.5~~$6.8 million in Orangeburg, and as a result, as of April 30, ~~2020~~2021 the Company's ownership percentage has increased to 44.6% from approximately 2.92% at inception.

McLean ~~Plaza~~

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, is the managing member and owns a 53% interest in McLean, which owns aan Acme grocery-anchored shopping center. The McLean operating agreement provides for the non-managing members to receive a fixed annual cash distribution equal to 5.05% of their invested capital. The annual cash distribution is paid from available cash, as defined, of McLean. The balance of available cash, if any, is fully distributable to the Company. Upon liquidation, proceeds from the sale of McLean assets are to be distributed in accordance with the operating agreement. The non-managing members are not obligated to make any additional capital contributions to the entity.

UB~~2021. High Ridge, either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns ~~three~~3 commercial real estate properties, High Ridge Shopping Center, a grocery-anchored shopping center ("High ~~Ridge"~~Ridge Center"), and two single tenant commercial retail properties, one leased to JP Morgan Chase and one leased to CVS. Two properties are located in Stamford, CT and one property is located in Greenwich, CT. High Ridge Center is a shopping center anchored by a Trader Joe's grocery store. The properties were contributed to the new entities by the former owners who received units of ownership of UB High Ridge equal to the value of properties contributed less liabilities assumed. The UB High Ridge operating agreement provides for the non-managing members to receive an annual cash distribution, currently equal to ~~5.50%~~4.72% of their invested capital.

UB Dumont ~~I, LLC~~

The Company is the managing member and owns a 36.4% interest in ~~UB Dumont I, LLC.~~Dumont. The Company's initial investment was $3.9 million, and the Company has purchased additional interests totaling $630,000 through April 30, ~~2020.~~2021. Dumont owns a retail and residential real estate property, which retail portion is anchored by a Stop & Shop grocery store. The property is located in Dumont, NJ. The property was contributed to the new entity by the former owners who received units of ownership of Dumont equal to the value of contributed property less liabilities assumed. The Dumont operating agreement provides for the non-managing members to receive an annual cash distribution, currently equal to ~~5.1%~~5.0% of their invested capital.

UB New City ~~I, LLC~~

The Company is the managing member and owns ~~a 79.7%~~an 84.3% equity interest in ~~a joint venture, UB~~ New ~~City I, LLC.~~City.

The New City operating agreement provides for the non-managing member to receive an annual cash distribution, currently equal to 5.00% of his invested capital.

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” Because the limited partners or noncontrolling members in Orangeburg, McLean, UB High Ridge, Dumont and New City have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a part of their limited partnership or limited liability company units for cash, or at the option of the Company shares of its Class A Common stock, at prices as defined in the governing agreements, the Company reports the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated joint ventures in the mezzanine section, outside of permanent equity, of the consolidated balance sheets at redemption value which approximates fair value. The value of the Orangeburg, McLean, and a portion of the UB High Ridge and Dumont redemptions are based solely on the price of the Company’s Class A Common stock on the date of redemption. For the six months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company increased/(decreased) the carrying value of the noncontrolling interests by ~~$(11.0)~~$8.6 million and ~~$1.4~~$(11.0) million, respectively, with the corresponding adjustment recorded in stockholders’ equity.

Gateway Plaza and Applebee's at Riverhead

The Company, through ~~two~~2 wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns a 50% undivided tenancy-in-common interest in the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center ("Gateway") and Applebee's at Riverhead ("Applebee's"). Both properties are located in Riverhead, New York.

Midway Shopping Center, L.P.

The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, owns an 11.79% equity interest in Midway Shopping Center L.P. (“Midway”), which owns a 247,000 square foot ShopRite-anchored shopping center in Westchester County, New York. Although the Company only has an approximate 12% equity interest in Midway, it controls 25% of the voting power of Midway and as such, has determined that it exercises significant influence over the financial and operating decisions of Midway and accounts for its investment in Midway under the equity method of accounting.

The Company has allocated the $7.4 million excess of the carrying amount of its investment in and advances to Midway over the Company’s share of Midway’s net book value to real property and is amortizing the difference over the property’s estimated useful life of 39 years.

Midway is subject to a non-recourse first mortgage in the amount of ~~$26.2~~$25.2 million. The loan requires payments of principal and interest at the rate of 4.80% per annum and will mature in ~~2027.~~2027.

81 Pondfield Road Company

The Company’s other investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is a 20% interest in a retail and office building in Westchester County, New York.

Equity Method of Accounting

The Company accounts for the above investments under the equity method of accounting since it exercises significant influence, but does not control the joint ventures. The other venturers in the joint ventures have substantial participation rights in the financial decisions and operation of the ventures or properties, which preclude the Company from consolidating the investments. The Company has evaluated its investment in the joint ventures and has concluded that the joint ventures are not VIE's. Under the equity method of accounting, the initial investment is recorded at cost as an investment in unconsolidated joint venture, and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions from the venture. Any difference between the carrying amount of the investment on the Company’s balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets of the venture is evaluated for impairment at each reporting period.

(5) LEASES

Lessor Accounting

The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income, as follows:

Fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent. Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight line basis.

Variable lease income includes recoveries from tenants, which represents amounts that tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for the tenants’ portion of Recoverable Costs. Generally the Company’s leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company for Recoverable Costs based on the tenants’ share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants’ share of leased space in the property.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized during the six and three months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, under ASC Topic 842, Leases, as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC Topic 842 (In thousands):

(7) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants.

ASC Topic 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

•	~~Level 1-~~	Level 1- Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
•	~~Level 2-~~	Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant value drivers are observable
•	~~Level 3-~~	~~Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant value drivers are unobservable~~

Level 2- Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in

markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant value drivers are observable

Level 3- Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which significant value drivers are unobservable

The Company calculates the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests based on either quoted market prices on national exchanges for those interests based on the Company's Class A Common stock (level 1), contractual redemption prices per share as stated in governing agreements (level 2) or unobservable inputs considering the assumptions that market participants would make in pricing the obligations (level 3). The level 3 inputs used include an estimate of the fair value of the cash flow generated by the limited partnership or limited liability company in which the investor owns the joint venture units capitalized at prevailing market rates for properties with similar characteristics or located in similar areas.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded, as of October 31, ~~2019~~2020 and April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, that the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, the Company has determined that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.

~~Marketable equity securities are valued based on quoted market prices on national exchanges.~~

The Company measures its redeemable noncontrolling interests ~~marketable equity and debt securities classified as available for sale securities~~ and interest rate swap derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets and liabilities was determined using the following inputs (amount in thousands):

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using								Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Fair market value measurements based upon Level 3 inputs changed (in thousands) from $2,768 at October 31, 2018 to $546 at October 31, 2019 as a result of a redemption of noncontrolling interest in Ironbound in August of fiscal 2019 in the amount of $2,700 and a $478 increase in the redemption value of the Company’s noncontrolling interest in Ironbound in accordance with the application of ASC Topic 810.

(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal actions relating to the ownership and operations of its properties. In management’s opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had commitments of approximately $~~8.9~~$2.7 million for capital improvements to its properties and tenant-related obligations.

~~(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

During and subsequent to the ~~second quarter~~first six months of fiscal ~~2020,~~2021, the world has ~~been~~continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ~~impacts~~continues to impact the Company’s business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at this ~~time,~~time. While it appears that the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to ease in the U.S. and businesses, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic, the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, the effect on the Company’s tenants, and their businesses, the ability of tenants to make their rental payments and any additional closures of tenants’ businesses. Any of these events could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price.

~~As of May 31, 2020, the Company’s shopping centers generally remain open. However, a substantial number of tenants have temporarily closed their businesses, have shortened their operating hours or~~ are ~~offering reduced services. The Company has also received requests for deferral of rent or other rent concessions from approximately 339 tenants~~ in the ~~Company's consolidated portfolio~~early stages of recovery, many of them may still face an uncertain future and several tenants have defaulted on rent payments. The Company is evaluating each situation on a case-by-case basis to determine an appropriate course of action. See Footnote 1 “Lease Income, Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables – COVID-19 Pandemic” for a discussionthe long-term impacts of the Company’s approach to requests for rent concessions and Item 2 located in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the Company launched a program designating dedicated parking spots for curbside pickup at its shopping centers for use by all tenants and their customers, is assisting restaurant tenants in securing municipal approvals for outdoor seating, and has been communicating actively with tenants to disseminate information regarding local, state and federal resources, such as the Corona Virus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The Company is also closely monitoring recommendations and mandates of federal, state and local governments and health authorities to ensure the safety of its own employees as well as its properties.COVID-19 pandemic are unclear.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the company and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Forward Looking Statements:

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (the ~~“Company”~~"Company")~~, including this Item 2,~~ contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements can generally be identified by such words as “anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “continue”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “seek”, “should”, “will” or variations of such words or other similar expressions and the negatives of such words. All statements included in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such matters as future capital expenditures, dividends and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategies, expansion and growth of our operations and other such matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate. Such statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual results, performance or achievements, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), on the U.S., regional and global economies, the U.S. retail market and the broader financial markets. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors listed below.

New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally, uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic ~~activity.~~activity, and the uncertainty regarding medical responses to the pandemic. There is, however, reason to believe that the success of vaccination efforts in the U.S. is leading to a decline in COVID-19 cases and having a positive impact on businesses, as federal, state and local restrictions are lifted and individuals begin returning to pre-pandemic activities.

Important factors, among others, that may affect our actual results include:

negative impacts from the continued spread of COVID-19 or from the emergence of a new strain of novel corona virus, including on the U.S. or global economy or on our business, financial position or results of operations;

economic and other market conditions, including real estate and market conditions, that could impact us, our properties or the financial stability of our tenants;

•

~~negative impacts from the continued spread of COVID-19, including on the U.S. or global economy or on our business, financial position or results of operations;~~

•

~~economic and other market conditions, including real estate and market conditions, that could impact us, our properties or the financial stability of our tenants;~~

•

consumer spending and confidence trends, ~~as well as our ability to anticipate changes in consumer buying practices and the space needs of tenants;~~

•

~~our relationships with our tenants and their financial condition and liquidity;~~

•

~~any difficulties in renewing leases, filling vacancies or negotiating improved lease terms;~~

•

the inability of our properties to generate increased, or even sufficient, revenues to offset expenses, including amounts we are required to pay to municipalities for real estate taxes, payments for common area maintenance expenses at our properties and salaries for our management team and other employees;

•

~~the market value of our assets and the supply of, and demand for, retail real estate in which we invest;~~

•

risks of real estate acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to identify and acquire retail real estate that meet our investment standards in our markets, as well as the potential failure of transactions to close;

•

~~risks of operating properties through joint ventures that we do not fully control;~~

•

financing risks, such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms or the inability to comply with various financial covenants included in our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Facility") or other debt instruments we currently have or may subsequently obtain, as well as the level and volatility of interest rates, which could impact the market price of our common stock and the cost of our borrowings;

•

~~environmental risk and regulatory requirements;~~

•

~~risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, including the application of complex federal income tax regulations that are subject to change;~~

Executive Summary

Overview

We are a fully integrated, self-administered real estate company that has elected to be a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") for federal income tax purposes, engaged in the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, anchored by supermarkets, pharmacy/drug-stores and wholesale clubs, with a concentration in the metropolitan tri-state area outside of the City of New York. Other real estate assets include office properties, one self-storage facility, single tenant retail or restaurant properties and office/retail mixed-use properties. Our major tenants include supermarket chains and other retailers who sell basic necessities.

At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we owned or had equity interests in 8180 properties, which include equity interests we own in five consolidated joint ventures and six unconsolidated joint ventures, containing a total of ~~5.3~~5.2 million square feet of Gross Leasable Area (“GLA”). Of the properties owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries or joint venture entities that we consolidate, approximately ~~91.9%~~90.1% of the GLA was leased ~~(92.9%~~(90.4% at October 31, ~~2019)~~2020). Of the properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, approximately ~~94.4%~~94.2% of the GLA was leased ~~(96.1%~~(91.1% at October 31, ~~2019)~~2020). In addition, we own and operate self-storage facilities at two of our retail properties. Both self-storage facilities are managed for us by Extra Space Storage, a publicly traded REIT. One of the self-storage facilities is located in the back of our Yorktown Heights, NY shopping center in below grade space. As of April 30, 2021, the self-storage facility had 57,414 of available GLA, which was 98.6% leased. The rent per available square foot was $24.98. As discussed later in this Item 2, we have also developed a second self-storage facility located in Stratford, CT with 131,000 square feet of available GLA. The facility has been operational for approximately 3 months and is 25% leased.

In addition to our business of owning and managing real estate, we are also involved in the beer, wine and spirits retail business, through our ownership of ~~five~~six subsidiary corporations formed as taxable REIT subsidiaries. Each subsidiary corporation owns and operates a beer, wine and spirits retail store at one of our shopping centers. To manage our operations, we have engaged an experienced third-party, retail beer, wine and spirits manager, which also owns many stores of its own. Each of these stores occupies space at one of our shopping centers, fulfilling a strategic need for a beer, wine and spirits business at such shopping center. These five stores are not currently ~~not~~ providing material earnings in excess of what the Company would have earned from leasing the space to unrelated tenants at market rents. However, these businesses are continuing to mature, and net sales and earnings may eventually become material to our financial position and net income. Nevertheless, our primary business remains the ownership and management of real estate, and we expect that the beer, wine and spirts business will remain an ancillary aspect of our business model. However, if the right opportunity presents itself, we may open additional beer, wine and spirits stores at other shopping centers ~~that we own, but only~~ if we determine that any such ~~a business~~store would be a strategic fit for ~~that shopping center~~our overall business and the investment return analysis supports such a determination.

We have paid quarterly dividends to our stockholders continuously since our founding in 1969.

Impact of COVID-19

The following discussion is intended to provide stockholders with certain information regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and management’s efforts to respond to those impacts. Unless otherwise specified, the statistical and other information regarding our property portfolio and tenants are estimates based on information available to us as of ~~June 1, 2020.~~May 20, 2021. As a result of the rapid development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding this situation, we expect that such statistical and other information will change going forward, potentially significantly, and may not be indicative of the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, cash flows and financial condition for ~~the third quarter of~~ fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and future periods.

The spread of COVID-19 is having a significant impact on the global economy, the U.S. economy, the economies of the local markets throughout the northeast region in which ~~the Company’s~~our properties are located, and the broader financial markets. Nearly every industry has been impacted directly or indirectly, and the U.S. ~~retail~~ market has come under severe pressure due to numerous factors, including preventive measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to alleviate the public health crisis, such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders. ~~These~~During the early part of the pandemic, these containment measures, ~~which~~as implemented by the tri-state area of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, generally ~~permit~~permitted businesses designated as “essential” to remain open, ~~are affecting~~thereby limiting the operations of different categories of our ~~tenant base~~tenants to varying ~~degrees~~degrees. Many (but not all) of these restrictions have been gradually lifted as the COVID-19 situation in the tri-state area has significantly improved as a result of various factors, including a large portion of the population getting vaccinated, with ~~for~~most businesses now permitted to open at full or close to full capacity, but under other limitations intended to control the spread of COVID-19.

Moreover, not all tenants have been impacted in the same way or to the same degree by the pandemic and the measures adopted to control the spread of COVID-19. For example, grocery stores, ~~and~~ pharmacies and wholesale clubs ~~generally~~have been permitted to remain fully open throughout the pandemic and ~~operational,~~have generally performed well given their focus on food and necessities. Many restaurants ~~generally~~have also been considered essential, although social distancing and group gathering limitations have until recently, prevented or limited dine-in activity, forcing tenants to ~~take-out~~evaluate alternate means of operations, such as outdoor dining, delivery and ~~delivery services,~~pick-up. The large majority of our restaurant tenants are fast casual, rather than full-service restaurants. For a number of our tenants that operate businesses involving high contact interactions with their customers, such as spas and ~~non-essential businesses generally forced~~salons, the negative impact of COVID-19 on their business has been more severe and the recovery more difficult. Gyms and fitness tenants have experienced varying results. Dry cleaners have also suffered as a result of many workers continuing to ~~close.~~ work from home. There is, ~~uncertainty as~~however, reason to ~~when and how these restrictions will be relaxed or lifted, when and how businesses~~believe that the success of ~~tenants that have closed will reopen and when customers will re-engage with tenants as they have~~vaccination efforts in the ~~past. We specialize~~U.S. is leading to a decline in COVID-19 cases and having a positive impact on businesses, as federal, state and local restrictions are lifted and individuals begin returning to pre-pandemic activities. The following additional information reflects the ~~ownership and management~~impact of necessity-based community and neighborhood shopping centers located predominantly in the suburban communities that surround New York City, anchored by supermarkets, pharmacy/drug-stores and wholesale clubs, andCOVID-19 on our portfolio and tenants:

As of April 30, 2021, all of our 73 retail shopping centers, stand-alone restaurants and stand-alone bank branches are open and operating, with approximately 99.6% of our tenants (based on Annualized Base Rent ("ABR")) open and fully or partially operating and approximately 0.4% of our tenants currently closed.

As of April 30, 2021, all of our shopping centers include necessity-based tenants, with approximately 71.1% of our tenants (based on ABR) designated as “essential businesses” during the early stay-at-home period of the pandemic in the tri-state area or otherwise permitted to operate through curbside pick-up and other modified operating procedures in accordance with state guidelines. These essential businesses are 99.6% open.

As of April 30, 2021, approximately 84% of our GLA is located in properties anchored by grocery stores, pharmacies or wholesale clubs, 6% of our GLA is located in outdoor retail shopping centers adjacent to regional malls and 8% of our GLA is located in outdoor neighborhood convenience retail, with the remaining 2% of our GLA consisting of six suburban office buildings located in Greenwich, Connecticut and Bronxville, New York, three retail bank branches and one childcare center. All six suburban office buildings are open with some restrictions based on state mandates and all of the retail bank branches are open.

As of June 1, 2021, we have received payment of approximately 91.2%, 92.4% and 85.7% of lease income, consisting of contractual base rent (leases in place without consideration of any deferral or abatement agreements), common area maintenance reimbursement and real estate tax reimbursement billed for April 2020 through April 2021, the second quarter (February-April) of fiscal 2021 and the month of May 2021, respectively, not including the application of any security deposits.

Similar to other retail landlords across the United States, we received a number of requests for rent relief from tenants, with most requests received during the early days of the pandemic when stay-at-home orders were in place and many businesses were required to close. We continued to receive a smaller number of new requests even after businesses began to re-open, and in some cases, follow-on requests from tenants to whom we had already provided rent relief, but these requests are beginning to taper off and no new requests from tenants who had not previously requested rent relief were received during the quarter ended April 30, 2021. We have been ~~impacted by~~evaluating each request on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action, recognizing that in many cases some type of concession may be appropriate and beneficial to our long-term interests. In evaluating these requests, we have been considering many factors, including the tenant’s financial strength, the tenant’s operating history, potential co-tenancy impacts, the tenant’s contribution to the shopping center in which it operates, our assessment of the tenant’s long-term viability, the difficult or ease with which the tenant could be replaced, and other ~~factors as follows:~~factors. Although each negotiation has been specific to that tenant, most of these concessions have been in the form of deferred rent for some portion of rents due in April through December 2020, or longer, to be paid back over the later part of the lease, preferably within a period of one year or less. In addition, some of these concessions have been in the form of rent abatements for some portion of tenant rents due in April 2020 through December 2020 or longer.

•	As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of our 74 retail shopping centers, stand-alone restaurants and stand-alone bank branches are open and operating. All of our shopping centers include necessity-based tenants, 84% of our GLA is located in properties anchored by grocery stores, pharmacies and wholesale clubs, 6% of our GLA is located in outdoor retail shopping centers adjacent to regional malls and 8% of our GLA is located in outdoor neighborhood convenience retail. The remaining 2% of our GLA consists of six suburban office buildings located in Greenwich, Connecticut and Bronxville, New York, three retail bank branches and one childcare center. Five of our 6 suburban office buildings are open in some capacity based on state mandates, all of the retail bank branches are open and the childcare center is closed in accordance with the restrictions by the State of New Jersey.

•	As of May 22, 2020, approximately 68.7% of our tenants (based on GLA) have been designated “essential businesses” or are otherwise permitted to operate through curbside pick-up and other modified operating procedures in accordance with state guidelines. Of these tenants, approximately 87.5% are open and operating.

•	~~As of May 22, 2020, approximately 62.7% of our tenants (based on GLA) are open and fully or partially operating and approximately 37.3% of our tenants are currently closed.~~

•	~~As of June 1, 2020,~~April 30, 2021, we have received payment of approximately 68.7% of lease income, consisting of contractual base rent, common area maintenance reimbursement and real estate tax reimbursement billed for the month of April, not including the application of any security deposits, and 60.3% for May, not including the application of any security deposits. Similar to other retail landlords across the United States, we have received a number of401 rent relief requests from ~~tenants, which we are evaluating on a case-by-case basis. We believe this process will take several months. Our strategy is to have senior management assist with~~ the individual negotiations with each tenant making a rent relief request so as to reach the best agreement for both us and our tenants, with the goal of allowing the tenants business to return to normal operations and profitability when the pandemic ends. As of May 22, 2020, we have received 339 rent relief requests from our approximately ~~900~~863 tenants in our consolidated portfolio. ~~These~~Subsequently, approximately 118 of the 401 tenants withdrew their request for rent relief or paid their rent in full. These requests represent ~~38.2%~~45.0% of our ~~consolidated annualized~~ABR and 35.0% of our GLA. Since the on-set of COVID-19 through April 30, 2021, we have completed 274 lease modifications, consisting of base rent ~~and those tenants occupy 31.3%~~deferrals totaling $3.8 million or 3.9% of our ~~consolidated GLA. As~~ABR and rent abatements totaling $3.7 million, or 3.8% of ~~May 22, 2020, we had completed lease amendments with approximately 50 of the 339 tenant rent relief requests.~~

Each reporting period, we must make estimates as to the collectability of our tenants’ accounts receivable related to base rent, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and other revenues. Management analyzes accounts receivable by considering tenant creditworthiness, current economic trends, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenants’ businesses, and changes in tenants’ payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of this analysis, we have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts by $1.4 million and $725,000 in the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, respectively, which on an annualized basis represents approximately 2.9% of ABR. Management has every intention of collecting our billed rents, to the extent feasible, regardless of the requirement under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to reserve for uncollectable accounts. In addition, the GAAP accounting standard governing leases requires, among other things, that if a specific tenant’s future lease payments as contracted are not probable of collection, revenue recognition for that tenant must be converted to cash-basis accounting and be limited to the lesser of the amount billed or collected from that tenant, and any straight-line rental receivables would need to be reversed in the period that the collectability assessment is changed to not probable. As a result of the continuing analysis of our entire tenant base, we have determined as of April 30, 2021 that 89 tenants future lease payments were no longer probable of collection (10.3% of our approximate 863 tenants), which included 9 tenants converted to cash-basis accounting in the three months ended April 30, 2021 in accordance with ASC Topic 842. As a result of this assessment, in the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, we reversed lease income in the amount of $1.9 million and $893,000, respectively, which represented a reversal of prior billed but unpaid rents related to the tenants converted to cash-basis accounting in the current quarter and billed but unpaid rents related to all 89 tenants converted to cash basis accounting through April 30, 2021. The reduction to lease income was approximately 3.9% of ABR. In addition, as a result of this assessment, we reversed $1.3 million and $814,000 in the six and three months ended April 30, 2021, respectively, of accrued straight-line rent receivables related to tenants converted to cash basis accounting in the two respective periods. All of these charges result in a direct reduction of lease income on our consolidated income statement.

Each reporting period, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate investments may be impaired and has concluded that none of its investment properties are impaired at April 30, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has, however, significantly impacted many of the sectors in which our tenants operate, and if the effects of the pandemic are prolonged, it could have a significant adverse impact on their underlying industries. We will continue to monitor the economic, financial, and social conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and will assess our real estate asset portfolio for any impairment indicators as required under GAAP. If we determine that any of our real estate assets are impaired, we would be required to take impairment charges and such amounts could be material. See Footnote 1 to the Notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding impairment charges.

Actions Taken in Response to COVID-19

Moreover, we have taken a number of proactive measures to maintain the strength of our business and manage the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and liquidity, including the following:

Along with our tenants and the communities we together serve, the health and safety of our employees is our top priority. We have adapted our operations to protect employees, including by implementing a work-from-home policy in March 2020, which worked seamlessly, with no disruption in our service to tenants and other business partners. On May 20, 2020, in response to a change in the State of Connecticut's mandates, we re-opened our office at less than 50% capacity, with employees encouraged to continue working from home when feasible consistent with business needs. Thereafter, we have been gradually increasing our office capacity in accordance with applicable state guidance. We continue to closely monitor recommendations and mandates of federal, state and local governments and health authorities to ensure the safety of our own employees as well as our properties.

We are in regular communication with our tenants, providing assistance in identifying local, state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including stimulus funds that may be available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (the "CARES Act”). We compiled a robust set of tenant materials explaining these and other programs, which were posted when relevant to the tenant portal on our website, disseminated by e-mail to all of our tenants and communicated directly by telephone through our leasing agents. Each of our tenants was also assigned a leasing agent to whom the tenant could turn with questions and concerns during these uncertain times.

In addition, we launched a program designating dedicated parking spots for curbside pick-up at our shopping centers for use by all tenants and their customers, assisted restaurant tenants in securing municipal approvals for outdoor seating, and are assisting tenants in many other ways to improve their business prospects.

To enhance our liquidity position and maintain financial flexibility, we borrowed $35 million under our Facility during March and April 2020.

At April 30, 2021, we had approximately $38.4 million in cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheet, and an additional $89 million available under our Facility (excluding the $50 million accordion feature).

The only unsecured debt we have outstanding are draws on our Facility. In March 2021, we refinanced our Facility, which increased the capacity to $125 million and extended the maturity three years. The new maturity date is March 29, 2024, with an additional one-year company extension option. Additionally, we do not have any secured debt maturing until January 2022. All maturing secured debt in fiscal 2022 is generally below a 45% loan-to-value ratio, and we believe we will be able to refinance that debt.

We have taken proactive measures to manage costs, including reducing, where possible, our common area maintenance spending. We have an ongoing construction project at one of our properties, with approximately $300,000 remaining to complete the project. Otherwise, only minimal construction is underway. Further, we expect that the only material capital expenditures at our properties in the near-term will be tenant improvements and/or other leasing costs associated with existing and new leases.

Construction related to three large re-tenanting projects, two for grocery stores and one for a national junior anchor, have been completed during the second quarter or are very near completion, which will hopefully result in the tenants opening in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Apart from the aforementioned three re-tenanting projects, we do not have any other material re-tenanting projects ongoing.

We have redirected our acquisition department to help with lease negotiations.

The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer-side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. ~~We expect that the~~The Company ~~will avail~~has availed itself of ~~one or more~~some of the above benefits afforded by The CARES Act.

On June 4, 2021, the company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.207 per Common share and $0.23 per Class A Common share that will be paid on July 16, 2021 to holders of record on July 2, 2021. The Board determined that the increased level is appropriate, after taking into account the improved liquidity position of the Company, the significant progress made in vaccinating the U.S. public, the resulting decline in COVID-19 cases, and the early signs of business improvement as operating restrictions are relaxed and individuals begin returning to pre-pandemic activities.

While the extent of the outbreak and its impact on us,evaluate our tenants and the U.S. retail market is uncertain, a prolonged crisis could result in continued disruptions in the credit and financial markets, a continued rise in unemployment rates, decreases in consumer confidence and consumer spending levels and an overall worsening of global and U.S. economic conditions. The factors described above, as well as additional factors that we may not currently be aware of, could materially negatively impact our ability to collect rent and could lead to termination of leases by tenants, tenant bankruptcies, decreases in demand for retail space at our properties, difficulties in accessing capital, impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets and other impacts that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to stockholders. See “Risk Factors.”dividend policy.

As a result of the stress that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on many of our tenants, which includes many temporary business closures as a result of state mandates, we felt it was appropriate to increase our provision for uncollectable accounts in the three months ended April 30, 2020 by $1.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million over the prior quarter provision of $343,000.

•

For most of the pandemic, we redirected our acquisitions department to assist with lease negotiations as there were few commercial real estate property transactions taking place. As the COVID-19 pandemic eases and the economy improves, some commercial properties are starting to trade in the marketplace. We always seek opportunities to acquire high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers, and as a result of our strong liquidity position and access to various forms of capital, we have the ability to execute on potential acquisitions should the right opportunity arise.

Strategy, Challenges & Outlook

We have a conservative capital structure, which includes permanent equity sources of Common Stock, Class A Common Stock and two series of perpetual preferred stock, which are only redeemable at our option. ~~We redeemed our Series G preferred stock on November 1, 2019.~~ In addition, we have mortgage debt secured by some of our properties. As mentioned earlier, we do not have any secured debt maturing until January of 2022.

Key elements of our growth ~~strategies~~strategy and operating policies are to:

maintain our focus on community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored principally by regional supermarkets, pharmacy chains or wholesale clubs, which we believe can provide a more stable revenue flow even during difficult economic times because of the focus on food and other types of staple goods;

•	maintain our focus on community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored principally by regional supermarkets, pharmacy chains or wholesale clubs, which we believe can provide a more stable revenue flow even during difficult economic times because of the focus on food and other types of staple goods;

•	acquire quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in the northeastern part of the United States with a concentration on properties in the metropolitan tri-state area outside of the City of New York, and unlock further value in these properties with selective enhancements to both the property and tenant mix, as well as improvements to management and leasing fundamentals, with hopes to grow our assets through acquisitions by 5% to 10% per year on a dollar value basis subject to the availability of acquisitions that meet our investment parameters;

•	~~selectively dispose of underperforming properties and re-deploy the proceeds into potentially higher performing properties that meet our acquisition criteria;~~

•	invest in our properties for the long-term through regular maintenance, periodic renovations and capital improvements, enhancing their attractiveness to tenants and customers, as well as increasing their value;

•	~~leverage opportunities to increase GLA at existing properties, through development of pad sites and reconfiguring of existing square footage, to meet the needs of existing or new tenants;~~

•	proactively manage our leasing strategy by aggressively marketing available GLA, renewing existing leases with strong tenants, and replacing weak ones when necessary, with an eye towards securing leases that include regular or fixed contractual increases to minimum rents, replacing below-market-rent leases with increased market rents when possible and further improving the quality of our tenant mix at our shopping centers;

•	~~maintain strong working relationships with our tenants, particularly our anchor tenants;~~

•	~~maintain a conservative capital structure with low debt levels; and~~

•	~~control property operating and administrative costs.~~

invest in our properties for the long-term through regular maintenance, periodic renovations and capital improvements, enhancing their attractiveness to tenants and customers (e.g. curbside pick-up), as well as increasing their value;

leverage opportunities to increase GLA at existing properties, through development of pad sites and reconfiguring of existing square footage, to meet the needs of existing or new tenants;

proactively manage our leasing strategy by aggressively marketing available GLA, renewing existing leases with strong tenants, anticipating tenant weakness when necessary by pre-leasing their spaces and replacing below-market-rent leases with increased market rents, with an eye towards securing leases that include regular or fixed contractual increases to minimum rents;

improve and refine the quality of our tenant mix at our shopping centers;

maintain strong working relationships with our tenants, particularly our anchor tenants;

maintain a conservative capital structure with low debt levels; and

control property operating and administrative costs.

We believe our strategy of focusing on community and neighborhood shopping centers, anchored principally by regional supermarkets, pharmacy chains or wholesale clubs, is being validated during the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe the nature of our properties makes them less susceptible to economic downturns than other retail properties whose anchor tenants do not supply basic necessities. During normal conditions, we believe that consumers generally prefer to purchase food and other staple goods and services in person, and even during the COVID-19 pandemic our supermarkets, pharmacies and wholesale clubs have been posting strong in-person sales. Moreover, most of our grocery stores have also implemented or expanded curbside pick-up or partnered with delivery services to cater to the needs of their customers during ~~this~~the COVID-19 pandemic.

We recognize, however, that the pandemic may have accelerated a movement towards e-commerce that may be challenging for weaker tenants that lack an omni-channel sales or micro-fulfillment strategy. We launched a program designating dedicated parking spots for curbside ~~pickup~~pick-up and are assisting tenants in many other ways to help them quickly adapt to these changing circumstances. Many tenants have adapted to the new business environment through use of our curbside pick-up program and early industry data seems to indicate that micro-fulfillment from retailers with physical locations may be a new competitive alternative to e-commerce. It is too early to know which tenants will or will not be successful in making any changes that may be necessary. It is also too early to determine whether these changes in consumer behavior are temporary or reflect long-term changes.

Moreover, due to the current disruptions in the economy and our marketplace as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting changes to the short-term and possibly even long-term landscape for brick-and-mortar retail, we anticipate that it will be more difficult to actively pursue and achieve certain elements of our growth strategy. For example, it ~~will likely~~could be more difficult for us to acquire or sell properties ~~for the remainder of the~~in fiscal ~~year~~2021 (or possibly beyond), as it may be difficult to correctly value a property ~~correctly~~ given changing circumstances. Additionally, parties may be unwilling to enter into transactions during such uncertainty. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic eases and the economy improves, some commercial properties are starting to trade in the marketplace. We may also be less willing to enter into developments or capital improvements that require large amounts of upfront capital if the expected return is perceived as delayed or uncertain. We have chosen to borrow $35 million under our Facility during March and April 2020 to enhance our liquidity position and maintain financial flexibility, which is an approach consistent with many of our peers. While we believe we still maintain a conservative capital structure and low debt levels, particularly relative to our peers, our profile may evolve based on changing needs.

WeWhile it appears that the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to ease in the U.S. and businesses are in the early stages of recovery, we expect that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ contractual rent obligations ~~at least for as long as governmental orders require non-essential businesses to remain closed~~during the early stages of such recovery and ~~residents to stay at home.~~ potentially beyond. We will continue to accrue rental revenue during the deferral ~~period.~~period, except for tenants for which revenue recognition was converted to cash basis accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 842. However, we anticipate that some tenants eventually will ~~not~~ be ~~able~~unable to pay amounts due, and we will incur losses against our rent receivables. The extent and timing of the recognition of such losses will depend on future developments occurring after April 2021, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. ~~April and May~~Rental income collections and rent relief requests ~~to-date~~to date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period.

We continue to have active discussions with existing and potential new tenants for new and renewed leases. ~~However,~~With significant progress made in vaccinating the ~~uncertainty relating~~U.S. public, the resulting decline in COVID-19 cases, and the early signs of business improvement as operating restrictions are relaxed and individuals begin returning to ~~the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed the pace of~~pre-pandemic activities, we have observed a marked increase in leasing activity, including interest from potential new tenants and ~~could~~tenants interested in renewing their leases.

Transaction Highlights of Fiscal ~~2020;~~2021; Recent Developments

Set forth below are highlights of our recent property acquisitions, potential acquisitions under contract, other investments, property dispositions and financings:

•	On November 1, 2019, we redeemed all of the outstanding shares of our Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock for $25 per share with proceeds from our sale of our Series K Cumulative Preferred Stock in October 2019. The total redemption amount was $75 million.

•	In August 2019, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell our property located in Bernardsville, NJ, to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $2.7 million as that property no longer met our investment objectives. In accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-45, the property met all the criteria to be classified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, and accordingly we recorded a loss on property held for sale of $434,000, which loss was included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended October 31, 2019. The amount of the loss represented the net carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell. In December 2019 (fiscal 2020), the Bernardsville Property sale was completed and we realized an additional loss on sale of property of $86,000, which loss is included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended April 30, 2020. This loss has been added back to our Funds from Operations (“FFO”) as discussed below in this Item 2.

•	In January 2020, we sold for $1.3 million a retail property located in Carmel, NY, as that property no longer met our investment objectives. In conjunction with the sale, we realized a loss on sale of property in the amount of $242,000, which loss is included in continuing operations in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended April 30, 2020. This loss has been added back to FFO as discussed below in this Item 2.

•	In January 2020, we redeemed 2,250 units of UB New City I, LLC from the noncontrolling member. The total cash price paid for the redemption was $49,500. As a result of the redemption, our ownership percentage of New City increased to 79.7% from 78.2%.

•	In January 2020, we redeemed 23,829 units of UB High Ridge, LLC from the noncontrolling member. The total cash price paid for the redemption was $560,000. As a result of the redemption, our ownership percentage of High Ridge increased to 14.2% from 13.3%.

•	~~In March and April 2020, we borrowed an aggregate $35 million on our Facility to fund capital improvements and for general corporate purposes.~~

In December 2020, we redeemed 17,995 units of UB High Ridge, LLC from a noncontrolling member. The total cash price paid for the redemption was $364,000. As a result of the redemption, our ownership percentage of High Ridge increased to 17.0% from 16.3%.

In March 2021, we sold one free standing restaurant retail property located in Hillsdale, NJ, as that property no longer met our investment objectives. The property was sold for $1.3 million and we recorded a gain on sale of property the six month and three month periods ended April 30, 2021 in the amount of $435,000.

In March 2021, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell our property located in Newington, NH, to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $13.4 million, as that property no longer met our investment objectives. We anticipate the sale will close sometime later in fiscal 2021. When and if the sale closes, we anticipate that we will record a gain on sale of the property in the approximate amount of $11.9 million.

In March 2021, we refinanced our Facility, increasing the borrowing capacity to $125 million and extending the maturity date to March 29, 2024 with a one-year extension at our option. Please see note 2 in our financial statements included in Item 1 for more information.

In April 2021, we redeemed 178,804 units of UB High Ridge, LLC from a noncontrolling member. The total cash price paid for the redemption was $4.2 million. As a result of the redemption, our ownership percentage of High Ridge increased to 23.7% from 17.0%.

Leasing

~~Rollovers~~

For the six months ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we signed leases for a total of ~~257,000~~424,000 square feet of retail space in our consolidated portfolio. New leases for vacant spaces were signed for ~~36,000~~51,000 square feet at an average rental decrease of ~~8.1%~~13.5% on a cash basis. Renewals for ~~221,000~~373,000 square feet of space previously occupied were signed at an average rental ~~increase~~decrease of ~~4.1%~~2.2% on a cash basis.

Tenant improvements and leasing commissions averaged ~~$27.02~~$26.08 per square foot for new leases ~~and $0.44 per square foot for renewals~~ for the six months ended April 30, ~~2020.~~2021. We did not pay any tenant improvements and leasing commissions on renewal leases for the six months ended April 30, 2021. The average term for new leases was 6 years and the average term for renewal leases was 3 years.

The rental increases/decreases associated with new and renewal leases generally include all leases signed in arms-length transactions reflecting market leverage between landlords and tenants during the period. The comparison between average rent for expiring leases and new leases is determined by including minimum rent paid on the expiring lease and minimum rent to be paid on the new lease in the first year. In some instances, management exercises judgment as to how to most effectively reflect the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation. The change in rental income on comparable space leases is impacted by numerous factors including current market rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was signed, the age of the expiring lease, capital investment made in the space and the specific lease structure. Tenant improvements include the total dollars committed for the improvement (fit-out) of a space as it relates to a specific lease but may also include base building costs (i.e. expansion, escalators or new entrances) that are required to make the space leasable. Incentives (if applicable) include amounts paid to tenants as an inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements.

The leases signed in ~~2020~~2021 generally become effective over the following one to two years. There is risk that some new tenants will not ultimately take possession of their space and that tenants for both new and renewal leases may not pay all of their contractual rent due to operating, financing or other reasons.

~~Traditionally,~~In the past, we ~~have~~had seen overall positive increases in rental income for renewal leases, ~~and a range of positive 5% to negative 5% for new leases. However, with~~but since the ~~uncertainty~~outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ~~many unknown factors~~resulting regulatory restrictions on business operations, we have experienced average rental income decreases that ~~we,~~exceed historic norms.

Significant Leasing Events ~~with Impacts on Leasing~~

Since the 2015 bankruptcy of A&P, its former grocery store space at our Pompton Lakes shopping center, totaling 63,000 square feet, has remained vacant. We are continuing to market that space for re-lease and are considering other redevelopment options at that shopping center, including selling a 30,000 square foot portion of this 63,000 square foot space to a grocery store company, who would operate the store at that location. If the sale of the 30,000 square foot portion is successful, it may result in us realizing a loss on the sale of that 30,000 square foot portion. In July 2018, one other 36,000 square foot space formerly occupied by A&P that we had re-leased to a local grocery operator became vacant, as that operator failed to perform under its lease and was evicted. We signed a lease with Whole Foods Market for this location, and we delivered the space to them on January 31, 2020. That tenant is currently building out their space and hopes to open in the fall of 2020.

In May 2018, the grocery tenant occupying 30,600 square feet at our Passaic, NJ property went vacant, the tenant was evicted, and the lease was terminated. In May 2019, we signed two leases to re-lease a large portion of this space at a rental rate that is 12% below the rent we received from the prior grocery tenant. These two spaces were delivered to the tenant and rent commenced for these tenants on April 2, 2020.

In 2017, Toys R’ Us and Babies R’ Us (“Toys”) filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy ~~Code. Subsequently, Toys determined that it would be liquidating~~Code, and subsequently liquidated the company. Toys ground leased 65,700 square feet of space at our Danbury, CT shopping center. In August 2018, this lease was purchased out of bankruptcy from Toys and assumed by a new owner. The base lease rate for the 65,700 square foot space was and remains at $0 for the duration of the lease, and we did not have any other leases with Toys, so our cash flow was not impacted by the bankruptcy of Toys.

Impact of Inflation on Leasing

Our long-term leases contain provisions to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our operating results. Such provisions include clauses entitling us to receive (a) scheduled base rent increases and (b) percentage rents based upon tenants’ gross sales, which could increase as prices rise. In addition, many of our non-anchor leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increases in rents upon renewal at then current market rates if rents provided in the expiring leases are below then existing market rates. Most of our leases require tenants to pay a share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Critical Accounting ~~Policies~~Estimates

Critical accounting ~~policies~~estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation and uncertainty and are ~~both important~~reasonably likely to have a material impact on the ~~presentation of our~~ financial condition ~~and~~or results of operations of the Company and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Our most significant accounting estimates are as follows:

Valuation of investment properties

Revenue recognition

Determining the amount of our allowance for doubtful accounts

Valuation of investment properties

At each reporting period management must assess whether the value of any of its investment properties are impaired. The judgement of impairment is subjective and requires management to make assumptions about future cash flows of an investment property and to consider other factors. The estimation of these factors has a direct effect on valuation of investment properties and consequently net income. As of April 30, 2021, management does not believe that any of our investment properties are impaired based on information available to us at April 30, 2021. In the future, almost any level of impairment would be material to our net income.

Revenue Recognition

Our main source of revenue is lease income from our tenants to whom we lease space at our 80 shopping centers. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused distress for many of our tenants as some of those tenant businesses were forced to close early in the pandemic, and although most have been allowed to re-open and operate, many tenants like restaurants and fitness/gyms are operating at reduced capacity or operational efficiency. As a result we have many tenants who have had difficulty paying all of their contractually obligated rents and we have reached agreements with many of them to defer or abate portions of the contractual rents due under their leases with the Company. In accordance with ASC Topic 842, where appropriate, we will continue to accrue rental revenue during the deferral period, except for tenants for which revenue recognition was converted to cash basis accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 842. However, we anticipate that some tenants eventually will be unable to pay amounts due, and we will incur losses against our rent receivables, which would reduce lease income. The extent and timing of the recognition of such losses will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and these future losses could be material.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

GAAP requires us to bill our tenants based on the terms in their leases and to record lease income on a straight-line basis. When a tenant does not pay a billed amount due under their lease, it becomes a tenant account receivable, or an asset of the Company. GAAP requires that receivables, like most assets, be recorded at their realizable value. Each reporting period we analyze our tenant accounts receivable, and based on the information available to management at the time, and record an allowance for doubtful account for any unpaid tenant receivable that we believe is uncollectable. This analysis is subjective and the conclusions reached have a direct impact on net income. As of April 30, 2021, the portion of our billed but unpaid tenant receivables, excluding straight-line rent receivables that we believe are collectable, amounts to $2.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$33.9~~$38.4 million, compared to ~~$94.1~~$40.8 million at October 31, ~~2019 (see below).~~2020. Our sources of liquidity and capital resources include operating cash flows from real estate operations, proceeds from bank borrowings and long-term mortgage debt, capital financings and sales of real estate investments. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from rents paid under existing leases, which means that our operating cash flow depends on the ability of our tenants to make rental payments. As a result of state mandates forcing many non-essential businesses to close or ~~restrict how they operate~~restricting store operations to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, many of our tenants ~~businesses~~ are suffering. Please see the "Impact of COVID-19" section earlier in this Item 2 for more information. For the six months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, net cash flows from operating activities amounted to ~~$30.7~~$34.6 million and ~~$33.2~~$30.7 million, respectively.

On November 1, 2019, we redeemed all 3,000,000 outstanding shares of our 6.75% Series G Cumulative Preferred Stock for $25 per share, which included all accrued and unpaid dividends. The total amount of the redemption amounted to $75 million. The redemption was funded with proceeds from our recently completed sale of 4,400,000 shares of 5.875% Series K Cumulative preferred stock. We issued the Series K shares on October 1, 2019 and raised proceeds of $106.5 million.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of normal recurring operating expenses and capital expenditures, debt service, management and professional fees, cash distributions to certain limited partners and non-managing members of our consolidated joint ventures, and regular dividends paid to our Common and Class A Common stockholders. Cash dividends paid on Common and Class A Common stock for the six months endedApril 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 totaled ~~$21.8~~$11.0 million and ~~$21.3~~$21.8 million, respectively. Historically, we have met short-term liquidity requirements, which is defined as a rolling twelve month period, primarily by generating net cash from the operation of our properties. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, ~~that has forced the states where our properties are located to close or restrict the operations~~we have made a number of certain businesses, many of our tenants are suffering and some of these tenants have not paid their April or May 2020 billed rents. We are evaluating each request on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action, recognizing that in many cases some type of concession may be appropriate and beneficial to our long-term interests. In evaluating these requests, we are considering many factors, including the tenant's financial strength, the tenant's operating history, potential co-tenancy impacts, the tenant's contribution to the shopping center in which it operates, our assessment of the tenant's long-term viability, the difficulty or ease with which the tenant could be replaced, and other factors. Although each negotiation will be specific to that tenant, it is our intention that most of these concessions ~~will be~~ in the form of deferred rents and rent ~~for some portion~~abatements, as more extensively discussed under the "Impact of ~~rents due~~COVID-19" section earlier in ~~April through June to be paid over a later part of~~this Item 2. To the ~~lease, preferably within a period of one to two years or less. This~~extent rent deferral arrangements remain collectible, it will reduce operating cash flow in the near term but most likely increase operating cash flow in future periods. This process is ~~just beginning~~ongoing.

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2021, the Board of Directors declared and ~~will take several months to complete. Please see~~the Company paid quarterly dividends that were reduced from pre-pandemic levels, as more extensively discussed under the "Impact of COVID-19" section earlier in this Item ~~2 for more information.~~

Given the reduction of operating cash flow and taxable income caused by tenants’ nonpayment of rent during the period from April through June 2020, the overall uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic’s near and potential long-term impact on our business, and the importance of preserving our liquidity position, among other considerations, the Board determined that reducing thepandemic. Future determinations regarding quarterly dividend is in the best interests of stockholders after careful consideration of all information available to them at the time. Going forward, our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate our dividend policy.

We are ~~federal tax regulations applicable~~also in contract to ~~REITs that require REITs to distribute at least 90%~~sell our last non-core shopping center located in Newington, NH for a sale price of its taxable income to stockholders. Because any undistributed taxable income is subject to federal taxation, most REITs, including the Company, typically choose to distribute 100% of its taxable income, but are not required to do so. In addition to monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we will carefully monitor our REIT status and adjust our dividends, if necessary, to satisfy REIT distribution requirements and allow us to continue qualifying as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements.$13.4 million.

~~The Board declared the full contractual dividend on both our Series H and Series K Cumulative Preferred Stock, payable on July 31, 2020 to holders of record on July 17, 2020.~~

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of obligations under our long-term debt, dividends paid to our preferred stockholders, capital expenditures and capital required for acquisitions. In addition, the limited partners and non-managing members of our five consolidated joint venture entities, McLean Plaza Associates, LLC, UB Orangeburg, LLC, UB High Ridge, LLC, UB Dumont I, LLC and UB New City I, LLC, have the right to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their limited partner or non-managing member interests at prices and on terms as set forth in the governing agreements. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q. Historically, we have financed the foregoing requirements through operating cash flow, borrowings under our Facility, debt refinancings, new debt, equity offerings and other capital market transactions, and/or the disposition of under-performing assets, with a focus on keeping our debt level low. We expect to continue doing so in the future. We cannot assure you, however, that these sources will always be available to us when needed, or on the terms we desire.

Capital Expenditures

We invest in our existing properties and regularly make capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business to maintain our properties. We believe that such expenditures enhance the competitiveness of our properties. For the six months ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we paid approximately ~~$11.7~~$11.6 million for property improvements, tenant improvements and leasing commission costs ($~~700,000~~4.6 million representing property improvements, ~~$5.2~~$4.8 million in property improvements related to our Stratford project (see paragraph below) and approximately ~~$5.8~~$2.2 million related to new tenant space improvements, leasing costs and capital improvements as a result of new tenant spaces). The amount of these expenditures can vary significantly depending on tenant negotiations, market conditions and rental rates. We expect to incur approximately ~~$8.9~~$2.7 million for anticipated capital improvements, tenant improvements/allowances and leasing costs related to new tenant leases and property improvements during the remainder of fiscal ~~2020; this~~2021 and fiscal 2022. This amount is inclusive of commitments for the Stratford, CT development discussed directly below. These expenditures are expected to be funded from operating cash flows, bank borrowings or other financing sources. AsThe above amounts do not include a ~~result of~~potential new self-storage development at our Pompton Lakes, NJ property. The cost for this development is still in the ~~on-going COVID-19 pandemic we have suspended all significant capital improvement projects~~planning stages but the anticipated cost is estimated to be $7 million, which will be funded with ~~the exception of completion of~~available cash or borrowings on our ~~Stratford, CT project discussed below.~~Facility.

We are currently in the process of developing 3.4 acres of recently-acquired land adjacent to a shopping center we own in Stratford, CT. We are building two ~~pad site~~pad-site buildings totaling approximately ~~5,260~~5,200 square feet, which are pre-leased to national retail chains, and a self-storage facility of approximately 131,000 square feet, which will be managed for us by a national self-storage company. We anticipate the total development cost will be approximately ~~$15~~$18.6 million (excluding land cost), of which we have already funded $18.3 million as of April 30, 2021 and plan on funding the balance with available cash, ~~by borrowing~~borrowings on our Facility or ~~by using~~ other sources, ~~of equity~~ as more fully described earlier in this Item 2. ~~As of April 30, 2020, we~~We have ~~invested approximately $9.8 million in this development. We expect to complete~~completed the construction of one of the retail pads and the self-storage building ~~in the fall~~as of ~~2020.~~April 30, 2021. The storage building is approximately 25.8% leased as of April 30, 2021.

Financing Strategy, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and other Financing Transactions

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative capital structure with low leverage levels by commercial real estate standards. Mortgage notes payable and other loans of ~~$303.3~~$295.8 million consist of $1.7 million in variable rate debt with an interest rate of 5.09% as of April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$301.6~~$294.1 million in fixed-rate mortgage loans with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1% at April 30, ~~2020.~~2021. The mortgages are secured by 24 properties with a net book value of ~~$553~~$514 million and have fixed rates of interest ranging from 3.5% to ~~4.8%~~4.9%. The $1.7 million in variable rate debt is unsecured. We may refinance our mortgage loans, at or prior to scheduled maturity, through replacement mortgage loans. The ability to do so, however, is dependent upon various factors, including the income level of the properties, interest rates and credit conditions within the commercial real estate market. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such re-financings can be achieved. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had 5150 properties in our consolidated portfolio that were unencumbered by mortgages.

Included in the mortgage notes discussed above, we have 8eight promissory notes secured by properties we consolidate and 3three promissory notes secured by properties in joint ventures that we do not consolidate. The interest rate on these 11 notes is based on some variation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus some amount of credit spread. In addition, on the day these notes were executed by us, we entered into derivative interest rate swap contracts, the counterparty of which was either the lender on the aforementioned promissory notes or an affiliate of that lender. These swap contracts are in accordance with the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc ("ISDA"). These swap contracts convert the variable interest rate in the notes, which are based on LIBOR, to a fixed rate of interest for the life of each note. ~~All indications are~~In July 2017, the United Kingdom regulator that regulates LIBOR announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 2021. However, the ICE Benchmark Administration, in its capacity as administrator of USD LIBOR, has announced that it intends to extend publication of USD LIBOR (other than one-week and two-month tenors) by 18 months to June 2023. Notwithstanding this possible extension, a joint statement by key regulatory authorities calls on banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate ~~will~~by no ~~longer be published beginning on or around the year~~later than December 31, 2021. ~~All~~ At some point, all contracts, including our 11 promissory notes and 11 swap contracts that use LIBOR, will no longer have the reference rate available and the reference rate will need to be replaced. We have good working relationships with all of our lenders to our notes, who are also the counterparties to our swap contracts. All indications we have received from our lenders and counterparties is that their goal is to have the replacement reference rate under the notes match the replacement rates in the swaps. If this were to happen, we believe there would be no material effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, because this will be the first time any of the reference rates for our promissory notes or swap contracts ~~reference rates~~ will stop being published, we cannot be sure how the replacement rate event will conclude. Until we have more clarity from our lenders and counterparties on how they plan on dealing with this replacement rate event, we cannot be certain of the impact on the Company. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in this Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on our interest rate risk.

We currently maintain a ratio of total debt to total assets below ~~33.2%~~33.0% and a fixed charge coverage ratio of over ~~3.4~~2.9 to 1 (excluding preferred stock dividends), which we believe will allow us to obtain additional secured mortgage loans or other types of borrowings, if necessary. We own 5150 properties in our consolidated portfolio that are not encumbered by secured mortgage debt. At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had borrowing capacity of ~~$64.3~~$89.3 million on our Facility (exclusive of the accordion feature discussed in the following paragraph). Our Facility includes financial covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to incur unsecured and secured indebtedness. See Note 2 in our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on these and other restrictions.

~~We have~~Until it was terminated on March 30, 2021, we had a $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of three banks ~~BNY~~led by The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent. The syndicate also included Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and Bank of Montreal ~~and Wells Fargo N.A.~~(co-syndication agents). The Facility gave us the option, under certain conditions, to increase the Facility's borrowing capacity up $150 million (subject to lender approval). The maturity date of the Facility was August 23, 2021.

On March 30, 2021, we refinanced our existing Facility with the same syndicate of three banks led by The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent, increasing the capacity to $125 million from $100 million, with the ability under certain conditions to additionally increase the capacity to ~~$150~~$175 million ~~subject~~(subject to lender ~~approval.~~approval).

The change in base rent and the changes in other income statement line items analyzed in the table above were attributable to:

~~Index~~

Property Acquisitions and Properties Sold:

~~In the first six months of fiscal 2019, we purchased one property totaling 177,000 square feet, and sold one property totaling 10,100 square feet.~~ In the first six months of fiscal 2020, we sold two properties totaling 18,100 square feet. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021 we sold one property totaling 2,500 square feet. These properties accounted for all of the revenue and expense changes attributable to property acquisitions and sales in the six months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 when compared with fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

Properties Held in Both Periods:

Revenues

Base Rent

The net ~~increase~~decrease in base rents for the six month and three month periods ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, when compared to the corresponding prior ~~periods,~~period, was predominantly caused by ~~an increase~~a reduction of $1.3 million and $814,000 in the six months and three months ended April 30, 2021, respectively, for a reversal of straight-line rents for tenants whose revenue recognition was switched to cash-basis accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 842. There was no such reversal in the six months or three months ended April 30, 2020. In addition, the reduction of base rents at most properties related to normal base rent increases provided for in our leases, new leasing at some properties and base rent revenue related to two new grocery store leases for which rental recognition began in the first six months of fiscal 2020. The new grocer tenants are Whole Foods at our Valley Ridge shopping center in Wayne, NJ and DeCicco's at our Eastchester, NY property. This increase was ~~offset~~caused by a decrease in ~~base rent revenue at~~occupancy rates in the six ~~properties~~months and three months ended April 30, 2021 when compared with the corresponding prior periods, predominantly related to ~~tenant vacancies. The most significant of these~~the vacancies ~~were the vacating of TJ Maxx~~ at ~~our New Milford, CT property and a tenant at our Danbury, CT property after the first half of fiscal 2019.~~8 properties.

In the first six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2021, we leased or renewed approximately ~~257,000~~424,000 square feet (or approximately ~~5.6%~~9.4% of total ~~consolidated property leasable area)~~GLA). At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s consolidated properties were ~~91.9%~~90.1% leased ~~(92.9%~~(90.4% leased at October 31, ~~2019)~~2020).

Tenant Recoveries

In the six month and three month periods ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, recoveries from tenants (which represent reimbursements from tenants for operating expenses and property taxes) ~~decreased~~increased by a net ~~$2.7~~$4.6 million and ~~$2.3~~$2.7 million, respectively when compared with the corresponding prior ~~periods. This decrease~~period.

The increase in tenant recoveries was ~~predominantly~~ the result of ~~a negative variance relating~~having higher common area maintenance expenses in the six months and three months of fiscal 2021 when compared with the corresponding prior periods related to ~~reconciliation of~~snow removal and parking lot repairs. In addition, we completed the ~~accruals~~2020 annual reconciliations for both common area maintenance and real estate ~~tax recoveries billed to tenants~~taxes in the first half of fiscal ~~2019~~2021 and ~~2020. The decrease was further attributable to accruing a lower percentage~~those reconciliations resulted in us billing our tenants more than we had anticipated and accrued for in the prior period, which increased tenant reimbursement income in the first half of recovery at most of our properties as a result of our assessment that many of our smaller local tenants will have difficulty paying the full amounts required under their leases as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic. This assessment was based on the fact that many smaller tenants' businesses were deemed non-essential by the states where they operate and were forced to close. In addition, this decrease was accentuated by a large real estate tax reduction at one of our properties pursuant to a successful tax reduction proceeding, which reduces the amount to be billed back to tenants at that property. These net decreases were offset by increased tax assessments at our other properties held in both periods, which increases the amount of tax due and the amount billed back to tenants for those billings.fiscal 2021.

Uncollectable Amounts in Lease Income

In the six month and three month periods endedApril 30, ~~2020,~~2021, uncollectable amounts in lease income decreased by $466,000 and $779,000, respectively. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we significantly increased ~~by $1.3 million. This increase was the result of an increase~~our uncollectable amounts in lease income based on our assessment of the collectability of existing non-credit small shop tenants' receivables given the ~~on-going~~on-set of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic. Many~~pandemic in March 2020. A number of non-credit small shop tenants' businesses were deemed non-essential by the states where they operate and were forced to ~~close.~~close for a portion of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020. This placed stress on our small shop tenants and made it difficult for many of them to pay their rents when due. Our assessment was ~~based on~~that any billed but unpaid rents would likely be uncollectable. During the ~~premise~~first six months ended April 30, 2021, many of our tenants saw early signs of business improvement as regulatory restrictions were relaxed and individuals began returning to pre-pandemic activities following significant progress made in vaccinating the U.S. public and the resulting decline in COVID-19 cases. As a result, the uncollectable amounts in lease income has been declining.

ASC Topic 842 Cash Basis Lease Income Reversals

The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 "Leases" at the beginning of fiscal 2020. ASC Topic 842 requires amongst other things, that if the collectability of a specific tenant’s future lease payments as contracted are not probable of collection, revenue recognition for that tenant must be converted to cash-basis accounting and be limited to the lesser of the amount billed or collected from that tenant, and in addition, any straight-line rental receivables would need to be reversed in the period that the collectability assessment changed to not probable. As a result of continuing to analyze our entire tenant base, we have determined that as ~~we emerge from~~a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 89 tenants' future lease payments are no longer probable of collection (10.3% of our ~~non-credit small shop~~approximate 863 tenants), including 9 tenants ~~will need~~who were converted to ~~use most~~cash-basis accounting in this second quarter of ~~their resources to re-establish their business footing~~fiscal 2021. As a result of this assessment in the six month and ~~any existing~~three month periods ended April 30, 2021, we reversed $1.3 million and $814,000, respectively, of lease income, consisting of billed but uncollected lease income for all 89 tenants, and prior billed but uncollected accounts receivable ~~attributable~~related to ~~these~~the 9 tenants ~~would most likely be uncollectable.~~converted to cash-basis accounting in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. This reduction is a direct reduction of lease income in the consolidated statement of income for the six months and three months ended April 30, 2021. We did not have any reversal of lease income for tenants converted to cash basis accounting in the six months and three months ended April 30, 2020.

Expenses

Property Operating

In the six month and three month periods ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, property operating expenses ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$1.0~~$1.7 million and ~~$981,000,~~$1.3 million, respectively, as a result of ~~a large decrease in snow removal costs and parking lot repairs~~having higher common area maintenance expenses in the ~~first half~~six months and three months of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 when compared with the ~~first half of fiscal 2019.~~corresponding prior periods related to snow removal and parking lot repairs.

Property Taxes

In the six month and three month periods ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, property tax expense was relatively unchanged when compared with the corresponding prior periods. In the first half of fiscal 2020, one of our properties received a large real estate tax expense reduction as a result of a successful tax reduction proceeding. This decrease was offset by increased tax assessments at our other properties held in both periods, which increases the amount of tax due.period.

Interest

In the six month and three month periods ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, interest expense ~~decreased by $694,000 and $335,000, respectively,~~was relatively unchanged when compared with the corresponding prior periods, as a result of a reduction in interest expense related to our Facility. In October 2019, we used a portion of the proceeds from a new series of preferred stock to repay all amounts outstanding on our Facility.period.

Depreciation and Amortization

In the six month ~~and three month periods~~period ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, depreciation and amortization increased by ~~$404,000 and $214,000, respectively,~~$245,000 when compared with the prior ~~periods~~period, primarily as a result of a ~~write off~~write-off of tenant improvements related to a tenant that vacated six locations in our ~~Danbury, CT property~~portfolio in fiscal 2021 and increased depreciation for tenant improvements for two large grocery store re-tenanting projects at our Eastchester, NY and Wayne, NJ properties after the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Depreciation and amortization was relatively unchanged for the three months ended April 30, 2021 when compared with the corresponding prior period.

General and Administrative Expenses

In the six month and three month periods endedApril 30, ~~2020,~~2021, general and administrative expenses ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$1.5~~$1.6 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.5 million, respectively, when compared with the corresponding prior ~~periods, as~~period, predominantly related to a decrease in compensation and benefits expense. The decrease was the result of ~~an increase~~accelerated vesting of ~~$1.4 million in~~ restricted stock ~~compensation expense~~grant value upon the death of our former Chairman Emeritus in the second quarter of fiscal ~~2020 for the accelerated vesting of the grant value of restricted stock for our former Chairman Emeritus when he passed away in the second quarter of fiscal~~ 2020. The increase in the six month period ended April 30, 2020 was further accentuated by an increase of $353,000 in compensation and benefits expense predominantly related to an increase in cash bonuses paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and an increase in employee medical insurance costs when compared with the corresponding prior periods.

Funds from Operations

We consider Funds from Operations (“FFO”) to be an additional measure of our operating performance. We report FFO in addition to net income applicable to common stockholders and net cash provided by operating activities. Management has adopted the definition suggested by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and defines FFO to mean net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

Management considers FFO to be a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of our real estate assets diminishes predictably over time and industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains (or losses) from sales of property and depreciation and amortization. However, FFO:

does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income); and

should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance.

FFO as defined by us may not be comparable to similarly titled items reported by other real estate investment trusts due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. The table below provides a reconciliation of net income applicable to Common and Class A Common stockholders in accordance with GAAP to FFO for the six months and three months ended April 30, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 (amounts in thousands):

~~Decreases:~~Increases:

An increase ~~in uncollectable amounts in lease income of $1.3 million.~~ This increase was the result of an increase in our assessment of the collectability of existing non-credit small shop tenants' receivables given the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Many non-credit small shop tenants' businesses were deemed non-essential by the states where they operate and were forced to close. Our assessment was based on the premise that as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic our non-credit small shop tenants will need to use most of their resources to re-establish their business footing and any existing accounts receivable attributable to those tenants would most likely be uncollectable.

~~A net $1.1 million decrease~~ in variable lease income (cost recovery income) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, in response to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic we lowered our percentage of recovery at most of our properties as a result of our assessment that many of our smaller local tenants will have difficulty paying the amounts required under their leases as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic. This assessment was based on the fact that many smaller tenants' businesses were deemed non-essential by the states where they operate and those businesses forced to close.

~~A decrease in variable lease income (cost recovery income) related to an over-accrual adjustment in recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 versus~~ an under-accrual adjustment in recoveries from tenants for real estate taxes and common area maintenance in the first ~~quarter~~six months of fiscal ~~2019,~~2021, which ~~combined,~~ resulted in a ~~negative~~positive variance in the first half of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 when compared to the ~~first half of fiscal 2019.~~

A net increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million predominantly related to an increase in compensation and benefits expense for the accelerated vesting of restricted stock grant value upon the death of our former Chairman Emeritus in the second quartersame period of fiscal 2020.

A net increase in preferred stock dividends of $700,000 as a result of issuing a new series of preferred stock in fiscal 2019 and redeeming an existing series. The new series has a principal value $35 million higher than the redeemed series, which increased preferred stock dividends by $1.03 million. The new series has a lower coupon rate of 5.875% versus 6.75% on the redeemed series, which reduced preferred stock dividends by $328,000.

~~Increases:~~

An increase in base rent of $602,000 related to the delivery of space in the first half of fiscal 2020 to two new large grocery store tenants. The first was a new 40,000 square foot Whole Foods Markets at our Valley Ridge shopping center in Wayne, NJ and a new 30,000 square foot DeCicco’s Marketplace at our Shoppes’ at Eastchester in Eastchester, NY.

~~A $331,000~~$357,000 increase in lease termination income in the first six months of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 when compared with the corresponding prior ~~period.~~

~~A $462,000 decrease in interest expense~~period as a result of ~~fully repaying~~one tenant who occupied multiple spaces in our ~~Facility~~portfolio ceasing operations and buying out the remaining terms of their leases.

•

A net decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million, predominantly related to a decrease in compensation and benefits expense in the six months ended April 30, 2021 when compared to the corresponding prior period. The decrease was the result of accelerated vesting of restricted stock grant value upon the death of our former Chairman Emeritus in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

•

A decrease in uncollectable amounts in lease income of $466,000. In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we significantly increased our uncollectable amounts in lease income based on our assessment of the collectability of existing non-credit small shop tenants' receivables given the on-set of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. A number of non-credit small shop tenants' businesses were deemed non-essential by the states where they operate and were forced to close for a portion of the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020.

As a result, the uncollectable amounts in lease income has been declining.

•

A decrease of $229,000 in net income to noncontrolling interests. This decrease was caused by our redemption of noncontrolling units in the second half of fiscal 2020 and first half of fiscal 2021. In addition, distributions decreased to noncontrolling unit owners whose distributions per unit were based on the dividend rate of our Class A Common stock, which was significantly reduced in the six months ended April 30, 2021 when compared to the corresponding prior period.

Decreases:

A decrease in lease income related to additional vacancies in the ~~fourth quarter~~portfolio in the first six months of 2021, predominantly at 8 properties. In addition, the vacancy rate increased at our six unconsolidated joint venture properties in the six months ended April 30, 2021 when compared to the first six months of fiscal ~~2019 with proceeds from our new series~~2020. This reduced the amount of ~~preferred stock.~~equity in earnings we record for those joint ventures.

•

An increase in the write-off of lease income in the first six months of 2021 for tenants in our portfolio whose future lease payments were deemed to be not probable of collection, requiring us under GAAP to convert revenue recognition for those tenants to cash-basis accounting. This caused a write-off of lease income in the six months endedApril 30, 2021 of $1.9 million, which consisted of the reversal of billed but uncollected lease income for all 89 tenants converted to cash-basis accounting and the write-off of accounts receivable related to the 9 tenants converted to cash-basis accounting in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. There were no such reversals in the six month periods ended April 30, 2020. In addition, we reversed accrued straight-line rents receivable for tenants converted to cash basis in the six months ended April 30, 2021 of $1.3 million. There were no such reversals of lease income in the six months endedApril 30,2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have six off-balance sheet investments in real property through unconsolidated joint ventures:

a 66.67% equity interest in the Putnam Plaza Shopping Center,

an 11.792% equity interest in Midway Shopping Center, L.P.,

a 50% equity interest in the Chestnut Ridge Shopping Center,

a 50% equity interest in the Gateway Plaza shopping center and the Riverhead Applebee’s Plaza, and

a 20% interest in a suburban office building with ground level retail.

These unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control of, the operating and financial decisions of these investments. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are more fully discussed in Note 4, “Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” in our financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we have not guaranteed the debt of these joint ventures, we have agreed to customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g. guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) on certain loans of the joint ventures. The below table details information about the outstanding non-recourse mortgage financings on our unconsolidated joint ventures (amounts in thousands):

Environmental Matters

Based ~~upon~~on management's ongoing review of its properties, management is not aware of any environmental condition with respect to any of our properties that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance, however, that (a) the discovery of environmental conditions that were previously unknown, (b) changes in law, (c) the conduct of tenants or (d) activities relating to properties in the vicinity of our properties, will not expose us to material liability in the future. Changes in laws increasing the potential liability for environmental conditions existing on properties or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise adversely affect the operations of our tenants, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Item 3.3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our borrowing activities, which predominantly include fixed-rate mortgage debt and, in limited circumstances, variable rate debt. As of April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had total mortgage debt of ~~$300.1~~$294.1 million, of which 100% was fixed-rate, inclusive of variable rate mortgages that have been swapped to fixed interest rates using interest rate swap derivatives contracts.

For our fixed-rate debt, there is inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements.

To reduce our exposure to interest rate risk on variable-rate debt, we use interest rate swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. As of April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had nine open derivative financial instruments. These interest rate swaps are cross collateralized with mortgages on properties in Ossining, NY, Yonkers, NY, Orangeburg, NY, Brewster, NY, Stamford, CT, Greenwich CT, Darien, CT and Dumont, NJ. The Ossining swap expires in October 2024, the Yonkers swap expires in November 2024, the Orangeburg swap expires in October 2024, the Brewster swap expires in June 2029, the Stamford swap expires in July 2027, the Greenwich swaps expire in October 2026, the Darien swap expires in March 2028, and the Dumont, NJ swap expires in August 2027, in each case concurrent with the maturity of the respective mortgages. All of the aforementioned derivatives contracts are adjusted to fair market value at each reporting period. We have concluded that all of the aforementioned derivatives contracts are effective cash flow hedges as defined in ASC Topic 815. We are required to evaluate the effectiveness at inception and at each reporting date. As a result of the aforementioned derivatives contracts being effective cash flow hedges, all changes in fair market value are recorded directly to stockholders equity in accumulated comprehensive income and have no effect on our earnings.

~~All indications are that~~Under existing guidance, the publication of the LIBOR reference rate ~~will no longer~~was to be ~~published~~discontinued beginning on or around the ~~year~~end of 2021. However, the ICE Benchmark Administration, in its capacity as administrator of USD LIBOR, has announced that it intends to extend publication of USD LIBOR (other than one-week and two-month tenors) by 18 months to June 2023. Notwithstanding this possible extension, a joint statement by key regulatory authorities calls on banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate by no later than December 31, 2021. We have good working relationships with each of the lenders to our notes, who are also the counterparties to our swap contracts. We understand from our lenders and counterparties that their goal is to have the replacement reference rate under the notes match the replacement rates in the swaps. If this were achieved, we believe there would be no effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, because this will be the first time any of the reference rates for our promissory notes or ~~the reference rates in~~ our swap contracts will cease to be published, we cannot be sure how the replacement rate event will conclude. Until we have more clarity from our lenders and counterparties, we cannot be certain of the impact on the Company. See “We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices, the method in which LIBOR is determined or the use of alternative reference rates” under Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for ~~the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 for~~ more information.

At April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, we had $35 million in borrowings outstanding on our Facility, which bears interest at Libor plus ~~1.35%~~1.45%. If interest rates were to rise 1%, our interest expense as a result of the variable rate would increase by any amount outstanding multiplied by 1% per annum.

Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in legal proceedings. There are no material legal proceedings presently pending against the Company.

~~Item 1A. Risk Factors~~

~~The following represents a material change in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.~~

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") is expected to, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases may, materially and adversely impact the businesses of many of our tenants and materially and adversely impact and disrupt our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and ability to service our debt obligations, and our ability to pay dividends and other distributions to our stockholders.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic. COVID-19 has caused, and could continue to cause, significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economy and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. The tri-state area surrounding New York City has been particularly hard hit by COVID-19. The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many U.S. states and cities, including where we own properties, have imposed measures intended to control its spread, such as instituting “shelter-in-place” or “social distancing” rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate. The COVID-19 outbreak and measures taken to prevent its spread have already resulted in significant negative economic impacts on many of our tenants and our business, as well as the larger U.S. and global economies, including a dramatic increase in national unemployment. A number of our tenants operate service and retail businesses that require in-person interactions with their customers to generate revenues, and the spread of COVID-19 has decreased customers’ willingness to frequent, and mandated “shelter-in-place” or “social distancing” orders have prevented customers from frequenting, some of our tenants’ businesses. Even if such orders are lifted, customer traffic may continue to be adversely impacted. As a result of these government mandated orders and customer sentiment, many of our tenants have been forced to temporarily close their stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service.

Tenants that experience deteriorating financial conditions may be unwilling or unable to pay rent on a timely basis, or at all. In some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ rent obligations, and may not be able to do so on terms as favorable to us as those currently in place. Numerous state, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, including, among others, limitations, prohibitions and moratoriums on evicting tenants unwilling or unable to pay rent. In the event of tenant nonpayment, default or bankruptcy, we may incur costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing our properties, and have limited ability to renew existing leases or sign new leases at projected rents. We currently anticipate the above circumstances to negatively impact our revenues for at least the remainder of the year.

~~Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread could have additional adverse effects on our business, including with regards to:~~

~~a deterioration in consumer sentiment and its impact on discretionary spending, which could negatively impact our tenants’ businesses;~~

negative public perception of the COVID-19 health risk, even after government restrictions on businesses are lifted, which may result in decreased foot traffic to our shopping centers and tenant businesses for an extended period of time;

~~an acceleration of changes in consumer behavior in favor of e-commerce, negatively impacting many of our tenants who rely heavily on their brick-and-mortar sales for profitability;~~

the inability of our tenants to meet their lease obligations or other obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations or declare bankruptcy due to economic and business conditions, including high unemployment and reduced consumer discretionary spending;

the ability and willingness of new tenants to enter into leases during what is perceived to be uncertain times, the ability and willingness of our existing tenants to renew their leases upon expiration, and our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant;

~~the failure of certain of our tenants to reopen, even after government mandated restrictions are lifted, resulting in co-tenancy claims as a result of the failure to satisfy occupancy thresholds;~~

the inability of our tenants to qualify for or secure stimulus funds under The CARES Act and similar programs or the insufficiency of such funds to cover all of the tenant’s financial needs, including rent;

disruptions to the supply chain or lack of employees available or willing to work due to perceptions of COVID-19 health risk that could make it difficult for our tenants to operate, as well as to pay rent;

~~the adverse impact of current economic conditions on the market value of our real estate portfolio and the resulting impact on our ability or desire to make strategic acquisitions or dispositions;~~

state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as a rent freeze for tenants or a suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions, which may affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent;

~~the scaling back or delay of a significant amount of planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect the value of our properties;~~

severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which could make it difficult for us to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and impact our ability to fund business activities and repay liabilities on a timely basis;

our ability to draw on our credit facility or obtain additional indebtedness or pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due, and the negative impact of reductions in rent on financial covenants on corporate and/or property-level debt; and

~~issues related to remote working, including increased cybersecurity risk and other technology and communication issues;~~

~~the event that a significant number of our employees, particularly senior members of our management team, become unable to work as a result of health issues related to COVID-19; and~~

~~the continued volatility of the trading prices of our Common Stock and Class A Common Stock.~~

Our operating results depend, in large part, on the ability of our tenants to generate sufficient income to pay their rents in a timely manner. Therefore, we have reduced our quarterly dividend on our Class A Common stock and Common stock in an effort to preserve cash due to current economic uncertainty, and we may choose to do the same in the future. Additionally, we may in the future choose to pay distributions in our stock rather than solely in cash, which may result in our stockholders having a tax liability with respect to such distributions that exceeds the amount of cash received, if any.

The extent to which COVID-19, or any future pandemic or health crisis, impacts our business, operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity, duration of such pandemic, actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the progress of science and the medical community in addressing the health risks. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of COVID-19. To the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2019.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In December 2013, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (“Current Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares, in the aggregate, of Common stock and Class A Common stock in open market transactions. We have repurchased 195,413 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Current Repurchase Program. From the inception of all repurchase programs, we have repurchased 4,600 shares of Common Stock and 919,991 shares of Class A Common Stock. For the three months ended April 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company did not repurchase any stock under the Current Repurchase Program.

From time to time, we could be deemed to have repurchased shares as a result of shares withheld for tax purposes upon a stock compensation related vesting event.
