SB PARTNERS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SB Partners, a New York limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership" or the “Registrant”), have been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating, and holding for investment a varying portfolio of real estate interests. SB Partners Real Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner of the Partnership.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.

On July 14, 2022 the General Partner signed a contract to sell its last real estate property Eagle Lake Business Center IV, an industrial flex property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota (“Eagle IV”), to an unrelated buyer for $13,000,000 in an all cash transaction. The sale was completed on August 22, 2022. The Partnership has reclassified the investment in real estate to investment in real estate held for sale and the operations directly related to Eagle IV has been reclassified from income from continued operations to income from discontinued operation. Other assets and other liabilities related to the discontinued operation has been reclassified to other assets in discontinued operation and other liabilities in discontinued operation. The reclassification has been made for both periods presented. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs.  Upon determination that a property is held for sale, depreciation of such property is no longer recorded. Rental income at the Partnership’s wholly owned property was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The results of operations for the three and ninemonth period ended March 31,September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

For a discussion of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies of the Partnership, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic may affect market conditions in which the Registrant and Omaha operates creating a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies may be affected by liquidity, disparity of real estate values and financing issues. There is no assurance that such conditions will not result in decreased cash flows which could result in the sale of investments at amounts less than the reported values at March 31,September 30, 2022.

In connection with the adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Partnership elected the practical expedient concerning the treatment of CAM costs. CAM is a non-lease component of the lease contract under ASC 842, and therefore would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and presented separate from rental income based on an allocation of the overall contract price, which is not necessarily the amount that would be billable to the tenant for CAM reimbursements per the term 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 tenant’s use of the underlying lease asset, the Partnership elected, under the practical expedient, to combine CAM and other Recoverable Costs with the remaining lease components, and recognize them together as rental income. Rental income is a component of income from discontinued operation in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Rental income at the Partnership’s wholly owned property is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

The following table provides a disaggregation of rental income recognized by the Partnership for the three and ninemonths ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021:2021 (see footnote 4 regarding the sale of Eagle IV):

The accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

The following major categories of assets were measured at fair value as of March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 2) during the periods ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
