1.Business and Organization

 

Business

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc., which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. prior to July 20, 2017, (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. We have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had eight real estate investments seven of which were consolidated (one(four wholly owned propertyproperties and sixfour properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estateestate-related investment which we account for under the equity method. (mezzanine loan).

 

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II LP prior to November 1, 2017, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”).  As of September 30, 2018,2019, our wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner.  As of September 30, 2018,2019, our wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

Our business has beenis managed by an external advisor since the commencement of our initial public offering, and we

have no employees. From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, an affiliate of Stratera Services, LLC, formerly known as “Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC” (“Behringer”), acted as our external advisor (the “Behringer Advisor”). OnEffective February 10, 2017, we terminated our engagement of the Behringer Advisor and engaged affiliates of the Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. TheSubject to the oversight of our board of directors, our external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets.

Organization

In connection with our initial capitalization, we issued 22.5 thousand22,500 shares of our common stock and 1.0 thousand1,000 shares of our convertible stock to Behringerour previous advisor on January 19, 2007.  Behringer transferred itsThese shares of convertible stock to one of its affiliates on April 2, 2010. Behringer's affiliatewere transferred its shares of convertible stock to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017. As of September 30, 2018,2019, we had 23.522.5 million shares of common stock outstanding and 1.0 thousand1,000 shares of convertible stock outstanding. The outstanding convertible stock is held by an affiliate of Lightstone.

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. We previously targeted the commencement of a liquidity event within six years after the termination of our initial public offering, which occurred on July 3, 2011. On June 29, 2017, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline an additional six years until June 30, 2023 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. However, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represents the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments.  Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based generally on their ownership percentage.   If a property reaches a defined return threshold, then it will result in distributions to noncontrolling interests which is different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. In certain instances, our joint venture agreements provide for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics (“promoted interest”).

2.Interim Unaudited Financial InformationSummary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2018.April 1, 2019.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate including impairment and depreciable lives. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable GAAP, and entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which we have less than a controlling interest or entities which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, we account for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which we have made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether we areThe consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein has been derived from the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity. Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility, and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A changeconsolidated balance sheet included in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash

As required by our lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate

taxes, and other reserves for our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves. On occasion, restricted cash may also include certain funds temporarily placed in escrows with qualified intermediaries in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities currently consist of debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses for debt securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of these securities are determined based on the specific identification of the securities sold.

An impairment charge is recognized when the decline in the fair value of a security below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the duration and severity of any decline in fair value below our amortized cost basis, any adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers’ and its intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Earnings per Share

 

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that amends the existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases will continue to recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, accounting for leases under the new guidance is substantially the same as in prior periods, but eliminates current real estate- specific provisions and changes the treatment of initial direct costs. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019.

 

The Company elected the following package of practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and (iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the standard and therefore will only recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year.

The Company did not recognize any right-of-use assets or lease liabilities upon adoption of the standard. The Company does not have any material leases such as ground leases or building leases or any material leases with a term greater than one year. From time to time the Company will enter into immaterial leases for office equipment such as copiers.  The resulting right-of-use assets or lease liabilities would be immaterial in the aggregate and are recognized in the period they are incurred as lease expense.

4.New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsThe ASU provides a practical expedient which allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both: (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component in lease contracts where we are the lessor. The ASU also provides a transition option that permits entities to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the standard, which the Company also elected.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that that requires companies to measure investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income, using a modified-retrospective transition method. Since the Company had no investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method prior to January 1, 2018, theThe adoption of this standard had no effect on its consolidated financial statements when adopted.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB that clarifies the definition ofdid not have a business and assists in the evaluation of whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or as a business combination. The guidance provides a test to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Additionally, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest will be measured at their relative fair values.  The Company anticipates future acquisitions of real estate assets, if any, will likely qualify as an asset acquisition. Therefore, any future transaction costs associated with an asset acquisition will be capitalized and accounted for in accordance with this guidance.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.  The new guidance requires companies to apply a five-step model in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, as well as enhance disclosures regarding revenue recognition. Lease contracts are excluded from this revenue recognition criteria; however, the sale of real estate is required to follow the new model. The Company has adopted this standard using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this pronouncement had nomaterial effect on our consolidated financial statements since, with the disposalposition or our results of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel in August 2017, all revenues now consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the standard.operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule amending certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.In addition, the amendments expand the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders' equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders' equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. The rule was effective on November 5, 2018and will be effective for the quarter that begins after the effective date. Since the Company already includes a year to date consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in our interim financial statement filings, the adoption of this guidance will result in the inclusion of a quarter to date consolidated statement of stockholders equity in our second and third quarter interim financial statement filings and the inclusion of corresponding prior periods statement of stockholders’ equity for all periods presented.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards updatenew guidance which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  This guidanceThe Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which supersedes the existing lease accounting model, and modifies both lessee and lessor accounting. The new guidance will require lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. The standard offers several practical expedients for transition and certain expedients specific to lessees or lessors. Both lessees and lessors are permitted to make an election to apply a package of practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. The Company intends to apply the package of practical expedients and certain other transition expedients. For transition, the Company intends to recognize all effects of transition in the beginning of the adoption reporting period on January 1, 2019.We expect that the adoption of this standard will result in the recognition of right-of-use assets and related lease liability accounts on the consolidated balance sheet but is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or our results of operations,however, the ultimate impact of adopting this standard will depend on the Company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date.

3.Real Estate Asset Acquisition

Reclassifications 

On February 14, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 384-unit multifamily property located in Ann Arbor, Michigan (the “Valley Ranch Apartments”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $70.3 million, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, our Advisor received an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in acquisition fees and acquisition expense reimbursements.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conformIn connection with the acquisition of the Valley Ranch Apartments, the Company simultaneously entered into a $43.4 million non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Valley Ranch Apartments Loan”) collateralized by the Valley Ranch Apartments (see Note 7).

The Company determined this acquisition was an asset acquisition and allocated the total purchase price, including acquisition fees and expenses, to the currentassets acquired based on their relative fair value. Approximately $24.1 million was allocated to land and improvements, $46.3 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $1.1 million was allocated to in-place lease intangibles.

The capitalization rate for the acquisition of the Valley Ranch Apartments was approximately 5.35%. The Company calculates the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing the net operating income (“NOI”) of the property by the purchase price of the property, excluding costs. For purposes of this calculation, NOI was based upon the year presentation.ended November 30, 2018. Additionally, NOI is all gross revenues from the property less all operating expenses, including property taxes and management fees but excluding depreciation.

4.Note Receivable

500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan

On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into a $12.0 million mezzanine loan promissory note (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan”) with an unaffiliated third party (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower”). On the same date, the Company initially funded $8.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. Through September 30, 2019, the Company funded an additional $2.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and has funded an aggregate of $10.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and as of September 30, 2019, $2.0 million remained unfunded.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is recorded in note receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the fundings made for the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, our Advisor has received an aggregate of approximately $0.2 million in acquisition fees from the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The acquisition fees are accounted for as an addition to thecarrying value of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand are being amortized as a reduction to interest income over the initial term of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is due August 31, 2021 and is collateralized by the ownership interests of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower owns a parcel of land located at 500 West 22nd Street, New York, New York. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 11.0% per annum with a floor of 13.493% (13.493% as of September 30, 2019). The Company received an origination fee of 1.0% of the loan balance, or approximately $0.1 million, which ispresented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand is being amortizedto interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method,over the initial term of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan may be extended two additional six- month periods by the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower provided certain conditions are met, including the establishment of an additional reserve for interest and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance.

In connection with the initial funding under the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, the Company retained approximately $2.1 million of the proceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items, which ispresented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand are beingapplied against the first 8.0% of monthly interest due during the initial term of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. Through September 30, 2019, approximately $0.4 million of the reserve has been recognized as interest income and the remaining balance of the reserve was approximately $1.7 million as of September 30, 2019. The additional monthly interest due above the 8.0% threshold is added to the balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and payable at maturity. As of September 30, 2019, approximately $0.3 million of additional interest due is included in the balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan.

5.Financial Instruments

 

We determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or only estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

As of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, accrued property tax and payables to related parties and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the interest rate is variable and reflective of the market rate. The fair value of the notes payable is categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

 Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
 Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

On May 1, 2018, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “River Club Mortgage”) in the amount of $30.4 million. The River Club Mortgage has a term of seven years, bears interest at Libor plus 1.78% and requires monthly interest-only payments during the first five years and interest and principal payments pursuant to a 30-year amortization schedule for the remaining two years through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The River Club Mortgage is cross-collateralized by the River Club and the Townhomes at River Club. At closing, approximately $23.4 million of the proceeds from the River Club Mortgage were used to repay in full the existing non-recourse mortgage loan on the River Club and Townhomes at River Club.

On June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Parkside Mortgage”) in the amount of $18.0 million. The Parkside Mortgage has a term of seven years, bears interest at 4.45% and requires monthly interest and principal payments pursuant to a 30-year amortization schedule through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The Parkside Mortgage is collateralized by the Parkside Apartments (“Parkside”).

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Gardens Medical Mortgage”) in the amount of $13.0 million. The Gardens Medical Mortgage has a term of three years, bears interest at Libor plus 1.90% and requires monthly interest and principal payments through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The Gardens Medical Mortgage is collateralized by the Gardens Medical Pavilion.

We are subject to various customary financial covenants, including maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios and liquidity. We did not meet the debt service coverage requirements for our 22 Exchange loan for all of the quarterly periods in 2017 and as a result, the lender elected to sweep the cash from operations beginning in January 2018. Additionally, the cash flow from operations was not sufficient to fully pay the scheduled monthly debt service due on January 5, 2018, which constituted an event of default, and therefore the 22 Exchange loan which was scheduled to mature in May 2023 became due on demand. We received notice on January 9, 2018 that the 22 Exchange loan had been transferred to a special servicer effective immediately. Subsequently, the special servicer placed the property in receivership and has commenced foreclosure proceedings.

8.8.Leases

The Company’s office, multifamily and student housing properties are leased to tenants under operating leases. Substantially all of our multifamily and student housing leases have initial terms of 12 months or less. Our office leases expire between 2019 and 2025.

We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and continue to account for our leases as operating leases. We accrue fixed lease income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Some of our tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. We recognize this variable lease consideration only when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold. We amortize any tenant inducements as a reduction of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.

We structure our leases to allow us to recover a portion of our property operating expenses from our tenants. A portion of our leases require the tenant to reimburse us for a portion of our operating expenses, including common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes and insurance. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance and other administrative expenses. For some of our leases we receive a fixed payment from the tenant for the CAM component which is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When not reimbursed by the fixed CAM component, CAM expense reimbursements are based on the tenant’s proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses for the property. We accrue reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all of these expenses as variable lease consideration in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. We recognize differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented.

As of September 30, 2019, the approximate fixed future minimum rental payments, excluding variable lease consideration, from the Company’s office property, Gardens Medical Pavilion, due to us under non-cancelable are as follows:

2019  2020  2021  2022  2023  Thereafter  Total

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share/unit data and where indicated in millions)

Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property may be required to reimburse the Company for some or the entire portion of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property. Such amounts are not included in the future minimum lease payments above, but are included in rental revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Rental revenue of approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and rental revenue of approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related to variable lease payments was included in rental revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has excluded our multifamily and student housing leases from this table as substantially all of its multifamily and student housing leases have initial terms of 12 months of less.

9.Distributions

 

U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. These analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of director’s decisions will be substantially influenced by the obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

Property Manager

From January 4, 2008 through February 10, 2017, we were party to various property management and leasing agreements between us, our operating partnership, and certain affiliates of Behringer (collectively, the “Behringer Manager”). On February 10, 2017, we and the Behringer Manager terminated the then existing property management and leasing agreements effective as of the close of business.

Concurrently, weThe Company engaged an affiliate of Lightstone (the “Lightstone Manager”) pursuant to a property management and leasing agreement. The fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Lightstone Manager are substantially the same as the fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Behringer Manager.

We pay our property manager and affiliate of our external advisor, fees for the management, leasing, and construction supervision of our properties which is 4.0% of gross revenues of the properties managed by our property manager. We pay our property manager an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of the gross revenues of the property managed for any property for which we contract directly with a third-party property manager.  In no event will our property manager or its affiliates receive both a property management fee and an oversight fee with respect to any particular property.  In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay our property manager directly for its services, we will pay our property manager a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property.   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred and expensed property management fees or oversight fees to the related-party property manager of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Share Redemption Program

On November 9, 2018, our board of directors approved redemptions for the third quarter of 2018We provided mezzanine financing totaling 104,299$15.3 million to an unaffiliated third-party entity (the “Borrower”) that owned an apartment complex in Denver, Colorado (the “Prospect Park”). The Borrower also had a senior construction loan with a third-party construction lender (the “Senior Lender”) in an aggregate redemptionoriginal principal amount of $40.0 million. The senior construction loan was guaranteed by the owners of the developer. We also had a personal guaranty from the owners of the developer guaranteeing completion of Prospect Park and payment of approximately $0.8 million. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for a full descriptionany cost overruns. Our mezzanine loan was secured by all of the price at which we redeem shares under our share redemption program.membership interests of the Borrower and was subordinate to the senior construction loan.

Pursuant to the terms of the mezzanine loan, we participated in the residual interests of Prospect Park attributable to a sale or refinancing even though we had no actual ownership interest. We previously evaluated this arrangement and determined that its characteristics were similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership. Accordingly, our investment, which was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) was accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting instead of loan accounting.

On December 15, 2017, the Borrower sold Prospect Park to an unrelated third-party for a contractual sales price of approximately $100.5 million. In connection with the sale, the Borrower repaid the Senior Construction Loan in full and we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $21.6 million representing the repayment in full of the outstanding principal and accrued interest due on our mezzanine loan. Additionally, the Borrower placed approximately $15.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale into an escrow account to be used for settlement of the amount due to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park. The carrying value of our unconsolidated investment in Prospect Park, which represented the minimum amount payable to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park, was $10.9 million as of December 31, 2018.

On January 4, 2019, the Company and the Borrower received payments of $10.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, from the escrow account. As a result, the carrying value of our unconsolidated investment in Prospect Park has been reduced to zero and as of September 30, 2019, approximately $2.3 million remains in the escrow account to be used for settlement of any potential remaining amount due to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park and any additional amounts received will be recognized upon receipt.

Cautionary Note

 

The representations, warranties, and covenants made by us in any agreement filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made solely for the benefit of the parties to the agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to the agreement, and should not be deemed to be representations, warranties, or covenants to or with any other parties.  Moreover, these representations, warranties, or covenants should not be relied upon as accurately describing or reflecting the current state of our affairs.

 

Executive Overview

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis.  In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who were distressed or faced time-sensitive deadlines.  In addition, our opportunistic and value-add investment strategy has included investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income. Since inception, we have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties and newly constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We have made our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions. Currently, our investments include multifamilyproperties (multifamily and student housing communities, and an office building.building) and a mezzanine loan. All of our current investments are located in the United States.

 

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange.  The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. We previously targeted the commencement of a liquidity event within six years after the termination of our initial public offering, which occurred on July 3, 2011. On June 29, 2017, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline an additional six years until June 30, 2023 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. However, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $52.4$34.0 million and marketable securities, available for sale of $5.4 million as of September 30, 2018.2019. Our principal demands for funds going forward will be for the payment of (a) operating expenses, (b) interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, (c) share redemptions and (d) distributions, if any, authorized by our board of directors.directors, (d) remaining funding of our mezzanine loan and (e) other real estate or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet the cash needs for the payment of operating expenses, interest onthese items with our outstanding indebtedness and share redemptions withavailable cash as well as our future cash flow from operations, and to fund authorized distributions (if any) from available cash flow from operations and/or proceeds received from asset sales. To the extent that our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to cover these items, we expect to use cash generated from borrowings and selectivepotential asset sales to fund such needs.

and/or new borrowings. We intend to hold our various real properties until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.

 

In addition to our debt obligations, we consider other factors in evaluating our liquidity. For example, to the extent our portfolio is concentrated in certain geographic regions and types of assets, downturns relating generally to such regions and assets may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a number of our properties within a short time period.  Such defaults could negatively affect our liquidity and adversely affect our ability to fund our ongoing operations.

 

19

We may, but are not required to, establish capital reserves from cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments, or net sales proceeds from the sale of our properties and other investments.  Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and major capital expenditures.  Alternatively, a lender may establish its own criteria for escrow of capital reserves.

 

We have borrowed and may continue to borrow money to acquire properties and make other investments.  Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness is limited to 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors.  In addition to our charter limitation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests.  Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets.

 

Commercial real estate debt markets may experience volatility and uncertainty as a result of certain related factors, including the tightening ofchanges to underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies, macro-economic issues related to fiscal, tax and regulatory policies, and global financial issues.  Should the overall cost of borrowings increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our developments and investments.  This may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.  In addition, disruptions in the debt markets may reduce the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which in turn could: (i) lead to a decline in real estate values generally; (ii) slow real estate transaction activity; (iii) reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and (iv) result in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due, all of which may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the value of real estate investments and the revenues, income or cash flow from the operations of real properties and mortgage loans.

 

Debt Financings

From time to time, we have obtained mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans for acquisitions and investments, as well as property development.  In the future, we may obtain new financings to acquire properties and for property renovation development and redevelopment activities or refinance our existing real estate assets, depending on multiple factors.

 

On May 1, 2018, we entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “River Club Mortgage”) in the amount of $30.4 million. The River Club Mortgage has a term of seven years, bears interest at Libor plus 1.78% and requires monthly interest-only payments during the first five years and interest and principal payments pursuant to a 30-year amortization schedule for the remaining two years through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The River Club Mortgage is cross-collateralized by the River Club and the Townhomes at River Club. At closing, approximately $23.4 million of the proceeds from the River Club Mortgage were used to repay in full the existing non-recourse mortgage loan on the River Club and Townhomes at River Club.

On June 1, 2018, we entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Parkside Mortgage”) in the amount of $18.0 million. The Parkside Mortgage has a term of seven years, bears interest at 4.45% and requires monthly interest and principal payments pursuant to a 30-year amortization schedule through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The Parkside Mortgage is collateralized by Parkside. At closing, approximately $9.6 million of the proceeds from the Parkside Mortgage were used to repay in full the existing non-recourse mortgage loan on Parkside.

On June 28, 2018, we entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Gardens Medical Mortgage”) in the amount of $13.0 million. The Gardens Medical Mortgage has a term of three years, bears interest at Libor plus 1.90% and requires monthly interest and principal payments through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. The Gardens Medical Mortgage is collateralized by the Gardens Medical Pavilion.

As of September 30, 2018,2019, our outstanding notes payable were $116.2$209.7 million, net of deferred financing fees of $1.6$3.4 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.0%4.3%. As of December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had notes payable of $89.9$139.0 million, net of deferred financing fees of $0.4$2.4 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.0%4.3%. For loans in place as of September 30, 2018, we have guaranteed payment of certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse carveouts as set forth in the guaranties in favor of the unaffiliated lenders with respect to the 22 Exchange.

20

 

Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants.  These covenants include, among other things, maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios, and liquidity.  We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants other thancovenants.

Our non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the debt associated with 22 ExchangeLakes of Margate (outstanding principal balance of approximately $18.9$13.5 million as of September 30, 2018) as discussed below.

We did not meet the debt service coverage requirements for our 22 Exchange loan for all of the quarterly periods in 2017 and, as a result, the lender elected to sweep the cash from operations beginning in January 2018. Additionally, the cash from operations was not sufficient to fully pay the scheduled monthly debt service due on January 5, 2018, which constituted an event of default, and therefore the 22 Exchange loan which was scheduled to mature in May 2023 became due on demand. We received notice on January 9, 2018 that the 22 Exchange loan had been transferred to a special servicer effective immediately. Subsequently, the special servicer placed the property in receivership and has commenced foreclosure proceedings.

Default interest expense of $0.2 million and $0.7 million was accrued during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. As a result, accrued default interest expense of $0.7 million is included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018. However, we do not expect to pay any of the accrued default interest expense as the 22 Exchange loan is non-recourse to it. Additionally, we believe the loss of cash flow and the expected loss of this property will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Besides the 22 Exchange loan, as of September 30, 2018, our only other debt maturing over the next twelve months is debt of approximately $23.8 million associated with Arbors Harbor Town, which2019) matures in January 2019.2020. We currently expect to refinance all or repay in full with available casha portion of this debtmaturing indebtedness on or before its maturity date.scheduled maturity. However, if we are unable to refinance the outstanding indebtedness at favorable terms, we will look to repay the outstanding balance with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales.

 

One of our principal short-term and long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt.  The following table provides information with respect to the contractual maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our indebtedness as of September 30, 20182019 (dollars in thousands).

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2019, we had eight real estate investments (four wholly owned properties and four properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan). 

On February 14, 2019, we acquired the Valley Ranch Apartments (the “2019 Acquisition”) and on November 27, 2018 we acquired the Axis at Westmont (the “2018 Acquisition” and collectively, the “Acquisitions”). Additionally, on January 4, 2019 we received proceeds of approximately $10.9 million representing the minimum amount payable for our participation in the residual interests of our equity method investment in Prospect Park. Any additional amounts received will be recognized upon receipt.

On December 28, 2018, we disposed of 22 Exchange (the “Disposition”) and the disposition of this property did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of this property are reflected in our results from continuing operations for all periods presented through its date of disposition.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.

 

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT's operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

We definecalculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards set forthestablished over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in thea White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT as revisedeffective in February 2004December 2018 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, but excluding gains or losses from sales of property and real estate related impairments, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnershipslosses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and joint ventures.losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition.

 

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

 

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.

 

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the "IPA"), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations ("MFFO"), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

 

27

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the "Practice Guideline") issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

 

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.

 

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

 

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

 

Our calculations of FFO and MFFO are presented below (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share amounts):

1)The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as applicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.
2)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
3)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.

4)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
5)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
6)Our MFFO results include certain unusual items as set forth in the table below. We believe it is helpful to our investors in understanding our operating results to both highlight them and present adjusted MFFO excluding their impact (as shown below).

(a)Represents the accrual of default interest expense on our non-recourse mortgage loan which was collateralized by 22 Exchange. Although the lender for 22 Exchange is currentlydid not chargingcharge us or beingand was not paid interest at the stated default rate, we have accrued interest at the default rate pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreement. On December 28, 2018, we and the 10.0% noncontrolling member relinquished our ownership of 22 Exchange through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction with the lender.

 

Excluding the impact of this unusual item from our MFFO, after taking into consideration allocations to noncontrolling interests, our adjusted MFFO attributable to Company's common shares would have been $62$61 and $1,117, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Distributions

 

U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. These analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. The board of director’s decisions will be substantially influenced by the obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment.  These estimates include such items as impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Other than as disclosed below,in Note 2 to the financial statements, our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly from the discussion found in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2018.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities currently consist of debt securities that are designated as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains or losses for debt securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of these securities are determined based on the specific identification of the securities sold.

An impairment charge is recognized when the decline in the fair value of a security below the amortized cost basis is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company considers various factors in determining whether to recognize an impairment charge, including the duration and severity of any decline in fair value below our amortized cost basis, any adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuers’ and its intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.April 1, 2019.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments.  Our management’s objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.  To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.  With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt.  As of September 30, 2018, approximately $43.3 million, or 37%, of our debt, is a variable rate instrument (not subject to an interest rate cap or swap) and our interest expense associated with this instrument is, therefore, subject to changes in market interest rates. A 1% adverse movement (increase in Libor or Prime rate) would increase annual interest expense by approximately $0.4 million

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2018,2019, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) using the criteria established inInternal Control-New Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of September 30, 2018,2019, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20182019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Share Redemption Program

 

Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to us, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. Our board of directors can amend the provisions of our share redemption program at any time without the approval of our stockholders.

 

PriorFrom our inception through December 31, 2018, we had redeemed 3.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $6.97 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 932,045 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $7.90 per share, pursuant to our share repurchase program.

The terms on which we redeemed shares prior to July 1, 2018 the terms on which we redeem shares may differdiffered between redemptions upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined in the share redemption program) or confinement to a long-term care facility (collectively, Exceptional Redemptions) and all other redemptions or Ordinary Redemptions.

 

Any shares approved for redemption will be redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by our board of directors, and no less frequently than annually.  We will not redeem, during any 12-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption.  In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10 million in any twelve-month period.  The redemption limitations apply to all redemptions, whether Ordinary or Exceptional Redemptions.

Prior to July 1, 2018, the per share redemption price for Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions iswas equal to the lesser of 80% and 90%, respectively, of (i) the then current estimated NAV per share valueShare and (ii) the average price per share the investor paid for all of his shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock) less the Special Distributions (as defined in the share redemption program).

Effective December 4, 2017, our estimated value per share was $7.98. For a full description of the methodologies used to estimate the value of our common stock as of September 30, 2017, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities-Market Information” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On August 9, 2017, our board of directors adopted a Fourth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended Share Redemption Program”) to be effective July 1, 2018. Under the Amended Share Redemption Program, beginning July 1, 2018, we will no longer process redemptions upon death, “qualifying disability,” or confinement to a long-term care facility on terms different than those on which we process all other redemptions. Additionally, the price at which we will redeem shares submitted for redemption will be a percentage of the estimated NAV per Share as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program), as follows:

 

For Redemptions with an Effective Date Between 
July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019:92.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020:95.0% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021:97.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
Thereafter:100% of the estimated NAV per Share

NotwithstandingPursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended Share Redemption Program, any shares approved for redemption prices set forth above, our board of directors may determine, whether pursuantare redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to formulas or processes approved or settime by our board of directors, the redemption priceand no less frequently than annually.  We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares which may differ between Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions; provided, however, that we must provide at least 30 days’ noticeoutstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to stockholders before applying this new price determined by our boardthe date of directors.

redemption.  In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10.0 million in any twelve-month period.  Any redemption requests are honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available and are not honored on a first come, first served basis. During the quarter ended September 30,


On December 28, 2018, our board of directors approved alladopted a Fifth Amended and Restated Share Redemption requests receivedProgram (the “Fifth Amended Share Redemption Program”) which became effective on January 31, 2019. The only material change to the program was to change the measurement period for the limitations on the number and dollar amount of shares that complied withmay be accepted for redemption from a rolling 12 month-period to a calendar year. On March 26, 2019, our board of directors set the applicable requirements and guidelinescash available for redemptions at $2.5 million for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019. On April 15, 2019, the Company redeemed approximately 0.3 million shares of our common stock, for quarterly period ended December 31, 2018, for approximately $2.4 million. On May 9, 2019, our board of directors set the cash available for redemptions at $2.5 million per quarter, for each of the share redemption programquarterly periods ending June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019. On May 31, 2019, the Company redeemed approximately 0.3 million shares of our common stock, for an aggregate of 952,789 shares redeemedquarterly period ended March 31, 2019, for approximately $7.0$2.5 million. On August 23, 2019, the Company redeemed approximately 0.3 million (approximately $7.38 per share). All redemptions were funded with cash on hand.shares of our common stock, for quarterly period ended June 30, 2019, for approximately $2.5 million.
