NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~2019

NOTE 1 • ORGANIZATION

Investors Real Estate Trust, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (“IRET,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, management, acquisition, redevelopment, and development of apartment ~~communities, primarily in Midwest markets.~~communities. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we owned interests in 8870 apartment communities consisting of ~~13,975~~12,135 apartment homes.

NOTE 2 • BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We conduct a majority of our business activities through our consolidated operating partnership, IRET Properties, A North Dakota Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), as well as through a number of other consolidated subsidiary entities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all our subsidiaries in which we maintain a controlling interest, including the Operating Partnership. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. On September 20, 2018, our Board of Trustees approved a change in our fiscal year-end from April 30 to December 31, beginning on January 1, 2019. We filed a transition report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2018, in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. Beginning on January 1, 2019, all fiscal years will be from January 1 to December 31.

On December 14, 2018, the Board approved a reverse stock split of our outstanding common shares, no par value per share, and limited partnership units ("Units") at a ratio of 1-for-10. The reverse stock split was effective as of the close of trading on December 27, 2018, with trade commencing on a split-adjusted basis on December 28, 2018. We have adjusted all shares and Units and per share and Unit data for all periods presented.

The condensed consolidated financial statements also reflect the Operating Partnership's ownership of certain joint venture entities in which the Operating Partnership has a general partner or controlling interest. These entities are consolidated into our operations, with noncontrolling interests reflecting the noncontrolling partners’ share of ownership, income, and expenses.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The COVID-19 pandemic is a source of significant risk and uncertainty that could have an adverse impact on our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global economy and financial markets, and multifamily residents and commercial tenants have experienced financial hardship or closures. We have received requests for rent relief in the form of rent deferrals or rent abatements due to these financial hardships and government-mandated closures. As of June 30, 2020, $68,000 remained outstanding under the rent deferral agreements offered to multifamily residents. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a reduction in revenue of $402,000 due to rent abatements to commercial tenants.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is uncertain and will depend on future developments. The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020; however, we continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and cannot predict the impact it may have on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the future.

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.

The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our ~~Transition~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, as filed with the SEC on February ~~27, 2019.~~19, 2020.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our residential leases, where we are the lessor, will continue to be accounted for as operating leases under the new standards. As a result of adopting these standards, there were no significant changes in the accounting for lease revenue. For leases where we are the lessee, we recognized a right of use asset and lease liability of $889,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. There are also additional disclosures required under the new standard. Refer to the Leases section below for more information regarding the impact of adopting the standards on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In 2018, another ASU was issued to amend ASU 2016-13, which clarifies that it does not apply to operating lease receivables. In 2019, an additional ASU was issued to provide transition relief in which an entity is allowed to elect the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of Topic 326.	These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.	We elected the fair value option for all of our mortgages and notes receivable at January 1, 2020, as allowed by ASU 2019-05. As a result, we do not have any receivables or other financial instruments to which we are ~~currently evaluating the impact the new standards will have on our mortgage and note receivables.~~applying this standard.

LEASES

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASUs 2016-02, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20, and 2019-01 related to leases using the modified retrospective approach. We elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which permits us to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard, and the practical expedient related to land easements, which allows us to not evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for under ASC 840. We made an accounting policy election to exclude leases in which we are a lessee with a term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet.

As a lessor, we primarily lease multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income represents approximately ~~98.0%~~98.4% of our total revenues and includes gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. Other property revenues represent the remaining ~~2.0%~~1.6% of our total revenues and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized when earned, at a point in time.

Table of Contents

Some of our apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.

Beginning in April 2020, we offered multifamily residents suffering from financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic the option to apply for rent deferral. We also abated rent, common area maintenance, and tax expenses for commercial tenants that experienced government-mandated interruptions or closures of their businesses. We elected to account for these accommodations as though enforceable rights and obligations for the accommodation existed without evaluating if such a right or obligation existed under the lease agreement, as allowed by the FASB Q&A released on April 10, 2020 related to lease modification guidance under ASC 842. The accommodations were recognized as variable lease payments. As of June 30, 2020, $68,000 remained outstanding under the rent deferral agreements offered to multifamily residents. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a reduction in revenue of $402,000 due to rent abatements to commercial tenants.

Many of our leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from our residents and common area maintenance from our commercial tenants. We have elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.

The aggregate amount of future scheduled lease income on our operating leases for commercial spaces, excluding any variable lease income and non-lease components, as of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, was as follows:

REVENUES

~~We adopted ASU 2014-09,~~ Revenue ~~from Contracts with Customers~~, as of May 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. We elected to apply the new standard to contracts that were not complete as of May 1, 2018. We also elected to omit disclosing the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those goods and services. We elected to omit disclosing the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Revenue streams that are included in ~~ASU 2014-09~~revenues from contracts with customers include:


•	Other property revenues: We recognize revenue for rental related income not included as a component of a lease, such as application fees, as ~~earned, and have concluded that this is appropriate under the new standard.~~earned.

Gains or losses on sales of real estate: ~~Subsequent to the adoption of the new standard, a~~A gain or loss is recognized when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We ~~periodically~~ evaluate our long-lived assets, including investments in real estate, for impairment ~~indicators.~~indicators at least quarterly. The impairment evaluation is performed on assets by property such that assets for a property form an asset group. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each asset group, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived asset group against the carrying amount of that asset group. If the

Table of Contents

sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset group. If our anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, our evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Reducing planned property holding periods may increase the likelihood of recording impairment losses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded no0 impairment charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $17.8 million of impairment charges on one apartment community, three commercial properties, and three parcels of land. We recognized impairments of $12.2 million on one apartment community in Grand Forks, North Dakota; $1.4 million on an industrial property in Bloomington, Minnesota; $922,000 on an industrial property in Woodbury, Minnesota; and $630,000 on a retail property in Minot, North Dakota. These properties were written-down to estimated fair value based on independent appraisals and market data or, in the case of the retail property, receipt of a market offer to purchase and our intent to dispose of the property. We recognized impairments of $428,000 on a parcel of land in Williston, North Dakota; $1.5 million on a parcel of land in Grand Forks, North Dakota; and $709,000 on a parcel of land in Bismarck, North Dakota. These parcels were written down to estimated fair value based on independent appraisals and market data.

MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

In August 2017, we sold 13 multifamily communities in exchange for cash and an $11.0 million note secured by a mortgage on the assets. As of June 30, 2020, the note was paid in full. As of December 31, 2019, the balance of the note was ~~$10.1~~$10.0 million, with 12 communities remaining in the pool of assets used to secure the mortgage. ~~The note bears an interest rate of 5.5% and matures in August 2020. Monthly payments are interest-only, with the principal balance payable at maturity.~~ During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, we received and recognized approximately ~~$285,000~~$279,000 and ~~$305,000~~$285,000 of interest income, respectively.

In July 2017, we originated a $16.2 million loan in a multifamily development located in New Hope, ~~MN,~~Minnesota, a Minneapolis suburb. ~~As of July 31, 2018, we had~~We funded ~~the full initial loan balance, which appears in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, we may fund~~an additional ~~amounts~~$341,000 upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the loan agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we executed the purchase option for the apartment community (refer to Note 8 for details on acquisition). This note was paid in full as part of our acquisition of this apartment community. As of ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2019, the balance of the note was $16.6 million.

In December 2019, we originated a $29.9 million construction loan and a $15.3 million mezzanine loan for the development of a multifamily development located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In conjunction with the loans, we received a guaranty for the substantial completion of the project improvements from an investment grade guarantor. The construction and mezzanine loans bear interest at 4.5% and 11.5%, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had funded $11.0 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of the construction loan, which appears within mortgage loans receivable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The loans are secured by mortgages and mature on December 31, 2023, and the agreement provides us with an option to purchase the development. The loans represent an investment in an unconsolidated variable interest entity. We are not the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity ("VIE") as we do not have the power to direct the activities which most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance nor do we have significant influence over the entity.

In March 2020, in connection with our acquisition of Ironwood, an apartment community in New Hope, Minnesota, we acquired a tax increment financing note receivable ("TIF") with a principal balance of $6.6 million. The note bears an interest rate of ~~6.0%, matures~~4.5% with payments due in ~~July 2023,~~February and ~~provides us an option to purchase the development prior to the loan maturity date.~~

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We have determined that our Operating Partnership and each of our less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships is a ~~variable interest entity (“VIE”),~~VIE, as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on our balance sheet because we have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and have both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because our Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of our assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.

~~GAIN ON LITIGATION SETTLEMENT~~

During the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we ~~recorded a gain on litigation settlement of $6.3 million from~~acquired the ~~settlement on a construction defect claim. The gain~~47.4% noncontrolling interests in the real estate partnership that owns 71 France for $12.2 million.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consisted of ~~$4.0~~equity securities. We report equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). Any unrealized gains or losses are included in interest and other income on the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2020, we had 0 marketable securities. As of December 31, 2019, the cost basis of marketable securities was $6.9 million, the gross unrealized gain was $113,000, and the carrying value was $7.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a realized loss of ~~cash received, $937,000 of cash receivable, and $1.4 million of liabilities waived under the terms of the settlement.~~$3.4 million.

NOTE 3 • EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of our common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) outstanding during the period. We have issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and incentive stock options ("ISOs") under our 2015 Incentive Plan and Series D Convertible Preferred Units ("Series D preferred units"), which could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share upon exercise of the RSUs or ISOs or upon conversion of the Series D preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D preferred units). Other than the issuance of RSUs, ISOs, and Series D preferred units, we have no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional shares that would result in dilution of earnings. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in our sole discretion, we may issue common shares in exchange for Units on a ~~one-for-one~~1-for-one basis.

Performance-based ~~restricted stock awards and~~ RSUs of ~~37,625~~27,964 and ~~9,858~~37,625 for the three months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively, and ~~37,625~~27,964 and ~~9,858, respectively,~~37,625 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and ~~2018~~2019, Series D preferred units of 228,000 and, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Series D preferred units of 228,000 and 157,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, RSUs of 13,000 and 14,000, respectively, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, RSUs of 15,000 and 11,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

Stock options of 63,527 and 31,764 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the assumed proceeds per share plus the average unearned compensation were greater than the average market price of ~~the~~ common ~~stock~~shares for the periods ~~presented~~ended and, therefore were anti-dilutive.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018:~~2019:

Series C Preferred Shares. Series C preferred shares outstanding were 3.9 million and 4.1 million shares at June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively. The Series C preferred shares are nonvoting and redeemable for cash at $25.00 per share at our option after October 2, 2022. Holders of these shares are entitled to cumulative distributions, payable quarterly (as and if declared by the Board of Trustees). Distributions accrue at an annual rate of $1.65625 per share, which is equal to 6.625% of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference ($~~103.0~~97.1 million liquidation preference in the aggregate).

Series D Preferred Units (Mezzanine Equity). On February 26, 2019, we issued 165,600 newly created Series D preferred units at an issuance price of $100 per preferred unit as partial consideration for the acquisition of SouthFork Townhomes. The Series D preferred unit holders receive a preferred distribution at the rate of 3.862% per year. The Series D preferred units have a put option which allows the holder to redeem any or all of the Series D preferred units for cash equal to the issue price. Each Series D preferred unit is convertible, at the holder's option, into 1.37931 Units, representing a conversion exchange rate of $72.50 per unit. Changes in the redemption value are charged to common shares on our condensed consolidated balance sheets from period to period. The holders of the Series D preferred units do not have any voting rights.

~~Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests (Mezzanine Equity).~~ Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the noncontrolling interest in joint ventures in which our unaffiliated partner, at its election, could require us Distributions to buy its interest at a purchase price to be determined by an appraisal conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or at a negotiated price. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired the remaining 34.5% noncontrolling interests in the real estate partnership that owns Commons and Landing at Southgate for $1.3 million.

~~NOTE 5 • SEGMENT REPORTING~~

We operate in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of our operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information. Our chief operating decision-makers evaluate each property's operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance. We do not group our operations based on geography, size, or type. Our apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to our residents. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, our apartment communitiesSeries D unitholders are ~~aggregated into a single reportable segment.~~

Our executive management team comprises our chief operating decision-makers. This team measures the performance of our reportable segment based on net operating income (“NOI”), which we define as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

~~The following tables present NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income~~presented in the condensed consolidated ~~financial statements. Segment assets are also reconciled~~statements of equity within net income (loss) attributable to ~~total assets as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

NOTE ~~6 • COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES~~

~~Litigation.~~ In the ordinary course of our operations, we become involved in litigation. At this time, we know of no material pending or threatened legal proceedings, or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities, that would have a material impact on us.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Environmental Matters.~~ Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While we currently have no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of our properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of our properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs to us.

~~Restrictions on Taxable Dispositions.~~ Twenty-five of our properties, consisting of 4,372 apartment homes, are subject to restrictions on taxable dispositions under agreements entered into with some of the sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. We do not believe that the agreements materially affect the conduct of our business or our decisions whether to dispose of restricted properties during the restriction period because we generally hold these and our other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where we deem it to be in our shareholders' best interests to dispose of such properties, we generally seek to structure sales of such properties as tax deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Otherwise, we may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements.

~~NOTE 7 • DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS~~

We report in discontinued operations the results of operations and the related gains or losses on the sales of properties that have either been disposed of or classified as held for sale and meet the classification of a discontinued operation as described in ASC 205, "~~Presentation of Financial Statements,"~~ ~~and ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity."~~ Under this standard, a disposal (or classification as held for sale) of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.

~~We classified no new dispositions or properties held for sale as discontinued operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.~~

The following information shows the effect on net income and the gains or losses from the sales of properties classified as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

~~NOTE 9~~5 • DEBT

As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we owned 8870 apartment communities, of which 3923 served as collateral for mortgage loans. ~~Substantially all~~All of these mortgage loans were non-recourse to us other than for standard carve-out obligations. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we believe that there are no0 material defaults or instances of noncompliance in regards to any of these mortgages payable.

As of June 30, ~~2019, we owned 49~~2020, 47 of our apartment communities ~~that~~ were not encumbered by mortgages, with 3545 of those properties providing credit support for our unsecured borrowings. Our primary unsecured credit facility ("unsecured credit facility") is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with the Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. Our line of credit has total commitments of $250.0 million, with borrowing capacity based on the value of properties contained in the unencumbered asset pool ("UAP"). As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, the UAP provided for a borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, with additional borrowing availability of ~~$72.1~~$187.0 million beyond the ~~$177.9~~$63.0 million drawn, including the balance on our operating line of credit (discussed below). ~~This~~The unsecured credit facility matures on August 31, 2022, with one twelve-month option to extend the maturity date at our election.

WeUnder our unsecured credit facility, we also have unsecured term loans of $70.0 million and $75.0 million, included within notes payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which mature on January 15, 2024 and on August 31, 2025, respectively.

The interest rates on the line of credit and term loans are based, at our option, on either the lender's base rate plus a margin, ranging from 35-85 basis points, or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), plus a margin that ranges from 135-190 basis points based on our consolidated ~~leverage.~~leverage ratio, as defined under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our ~~line of~~unsecured credit facility and ~~term loans~~unsecured senior notes are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. We believe that we are in compliance with all such financial covenants and limitations as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

We have a private shelf agreement for the issuance of up to $150.0 million of unsecured senior promissory notes ("unsecured senior notes"). Under this agreement, we issued $75.0 million of Series A notes due September 13, 2029 bearing interest at a rate of 3.84% annually and $50.0 million of Series B notes due September 30, 2028 bearing interest at a rate of 3.69% annually. We have $25.0 million remaining available under the private shelf agreement.

We also have a $6.0 million operating line of credit. This operating line of credit is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. This operating line matures on August 31, 2020 and has a one-year ~~term,~~rolling commitment, with pricing based on a market spread plus the one-month LIBOR index rate. As

NOTE 106 • DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Our objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swap contracts to fix the variable interest rate on our term loans and a portion of our revolving line of credit. The interest rate swap contracts qualify as cash flow hedges.

Under ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, the ineffective portion of a hedging instrument is not required to be recognized currently in earnings or disclosed. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income ("OCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income for our interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest expense is incurred on our term loans. During the next twelve months, we estimate an additional ~~$1.0~~$4.4 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

~~During the three months ended~~At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we ~~entered into~~had a $50.0 million interest rate swap to fix the interest rate on a portion of our primary line of credit.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had ~~three~~3 interest rate swap contracts in effect with a notional amount of $195.0 million and ~~one~~1 additional interest rate swap that becomes effective on January 31, 2023, with a notional amount of $70.0 million.

NOTE 117 • FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, we apply FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures." Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting discounted expected variable cash payments and receipts. The variable cash payments and receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (a forward curve) derived from observable market interest rate curves. We also consider both our own nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement (Level 3).

Effective January 1, 2020, we elected the fair value option for our mortgage loans receivable and notes receivable, as allowed under ASU 2019-05 which provided transition relief upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." We utilize an income approach with level 3 inputs based on expected future cash flows to value these instruments. The inputs include market transactions for similar instruments, instrument specific credit risk (range of 0.5% to 1.0%), and management estimates of comparable interest rates (range of 3.75% to 5.0%). Changes in the fair value of these receivables from period to period are reported in interest and other income on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9 • SEGMENT REPORTING

We operate in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of our operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information. Our chief operating decision-makers evaluate each property's operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance and do not group the properties based on geography, size, or type for this purpose. Our apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to our residents. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, our apartment communities are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

operating expenses, including real estate taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

The following tables present NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment assets are also reconciled to total assets as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 • COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation. In the ordinary course of our operations, we become involved in litigation. At this time, we know of no material pending or threatened legal proceedings, or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities, that would have a material impact on us.

Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While we currently have no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of our properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of our properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs to us.

Restrictions on Taxable Dispositions. NaN of our properties, consisting of 4,560 apartment homes, are subject to restrictions on taxable dispositions under agreements entered into with some of the sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. We do not believe that the agreements materially affect the conduct of our business or our decisions whether to dispose of restricted properties during the restriction period because we generally hold these and our other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where we deem it to be in our shareholders' best interests to dispose of such properties, we generally seek to structure sales of such properties as tax deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Otherwise, we may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements.

NOTE 11 • SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share-based awards are provided to officers, non-officer employees, and trustees under our 2015 Incentive Plan approved by shareholders on September 15, 2015, as amended and restated on May 19, 2020 (the "2015 Incentive Plan") which allows for awards in the form of cash, unrestricted and restricted common shares, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units ("RSUs") up to an aggregate of 425,000 shares over the ten-year period in which the plan ~~will be~~is in effect. Under our 2015 Incentive Plan, officers and non-officer employees may earn share awards under a long-term incentive plan, which is a forward-looking program that measures long-term performance over the stated performance period. These

awards are payable to the extent deemed earned in shares. The terms of the long-term incentive awards granted under the revised program may vary from year to year.

~~2019~~2020 LTIP Awards

Awards granted to officers on March ~~8, 2019,~~13, 2020, consist of an aggregate of 8,806 time-based RSU ~~awards for 6,391 shares and performance-based RSU awards based on relative total shareholder return (“TSR”), for 12,781 shares.~~awards. All of these awards are classified as equity awards. The time-based RSU awards vest as to one-third of the shares on each of March ~~8, 2020,~~13, 2021, March ~~8, 2021,~~13, 2022, and March ~~8, 2022.~~13, 2023.

The assumptions used to value the performance RSU awards were an expected volatility of 25.5%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.43%, and an expected life of 2.82 years. The share price at the grant date, March 8, 2019, was $58.06 per share.Contents

The increase in expense was primarily due to the timing of award grants in connection with the change in our fiscal year end, additional officers included in award grants, and a decrease in forfeitures in the current period compared to the prior period.

~~NOTE 13 • SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

On August 6, 2019, we closed a $59.9 million mortgage loan. This mortgage loan is secured by four multifamily communities and is priced at a fixed rate of 3.88% for the full twelve-year term of the loan. Proceeds from this loan will be used to pay down balances under our line of credit.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, our audited financial statements for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, which are included in our Form ~~10-KT~~10-K filed with the SEC on February ~~27, 2019,~~19, 2020, and the risk factors in Item ~~1A.,~~1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 (the "Report"). Currently, one of the most significant factors is the continuing adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated potential economic impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as well as the adverse effects on our residents and commercial tenants, the real estate market, and the global economy and financial markets generally. The extent to which COVID-19 continues to impact us and our residents and commercial tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity, and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. Moreover, you should interpret many of the risks identified in this report, as well as the risks set forth below, as being heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.

We consider this and other sections of this Report to contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with respect to our expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements do not discuss historical fact, but instead include statements related to expectations, projections, intentions or other items related to the future. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and variations of those words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the results of operations, financial ~~conditions,~~condition, or plans expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed forward-looking statements. As a result, reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, as these statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors beyond our control and could differ materially from our actual results and performance.

The following factors, among others, could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:

the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing effects on our employees, residents, and commercial tenants, third party vendors and suppliers, and apartment communities, as well as our cash flow, business, financial condition, and results of operation;

deteriorating economic conditions and rising unemployment rates in the markets where we own ~~properties~~apartment communities or ~~markets~~ in which we may invest in the future;

government actions or regulations arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic that limit economic and consumer activity or affect the operation of our properties;

rental conditions in our markets, including occupancy levels and rental rates, our potential inability to renew residents or obtain new residents upon expiration of existing leases, changes in tax and housing laws, or other ~~factors;~~factors, including the impact of the COVID-19-related governmental rules and regulations relating to rental rates, evictions, and other rental conditions;

changes in operating costs, including real estate taxes, utilities, insurance costs, and expenses related to complying with COVID-19 restrictions or otherwise responding to the COVID-19 pandemic;

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” contained in our ~~Transition~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as they are updated and supplemented in this Report.

Executive Summary

We own, manage, acquire, redevelop, and develop apartment communities. We primarily focus on investing in markets characterized by stable and growing economic conditions, strong employment, and an attractive quality of life that we believe, in combination, lead to higher demand for our apartment homes and retention of our residents. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we owned interests in 8870 apartment communities consisting of ~~13,975~~12,135 apartment homes. Property owned, as presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $1.7 billion at June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Renting apartment homes is our primary source of revenue, and our business objective is to provide great homes for our residents. We strive to maximize resident satisfaction and retention by investing in high-quality assets in desirable locations and creating vibrant apartment communities through service-oriented operations. We believe that delivering superior resident experiences will enhance resident satisfaction while also driving profitability for our business and our shareholders. We have paid quarterly distributions continuously since our first distribution in 1971.

COVID-19 Developments

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on our business since March 2020, when it spread to many of the markets in which we own properties. Our first priority continues to be the health and well-being of our residents, team members, and the communities we serve. In order to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our team, residents, and communities, we undertook several measures in March 2020 to protect our residents, team members, and the communities in which we serve, as described in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Certain states and cities, including some of those in which our apartment communities are located, have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home directives, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, and restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. We

Table of Contents

cannot predict when restrictions currently in place will expire or whether additional restrictions will be imposed in the future. In the second quarter, we implemented a plan to safely re-open common spaces in several of our communities while adhering to state and local guidelines, but we recognize that an increase in COVID-19 cases in these markets could cause us to close common spaces or take other preventive measures.

The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to continue to have an impact on the U.S. economy and our business for the foreseeable future, but it is difficult to predict the magnitude of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the uncertainties regarding the scope, severity, and duration of the pandemic, the nature and extent of actions taken to combat the pandemic and mitigate its effects, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and associated containment measures. In addition, ongoing social distancing requirements and stay-at-home directives affect the daily lives of our employees and residents and impact our ability to show apartment homes to potential residents, while the ongoing loss of jobs, rising unemployment levels, and closing of certain commercial businesses affect the ability of certain of our residents and commercial tenants to pay rent on a timely basis, renew existing leases, or enter into new leases.

Financial Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our operations and the conduct of business at our apartment communities and offices, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, absent the ability to contain or treat the COVID-19 virus, with a corresponding re-opening of the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in future quarters.

Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act”), the federal government provided $600 per week in unemployment benefits in addition to any state unemployment benefits for unemployed workers, but this additional federal funding expired on July 31, 2020. We believe that the absence of this funding could impact our residents' ability to pay rent in August (and subsequent months), particularly if unemployment rates continue to remain high or even rise as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may have the following adverse financial and economic impacts, which would be exacerbated by the discontinuation of federal government relief:

cause our residents or commercial tenants to defer or stop rental payments, and abandon or fail to renew leases, which would reduce our primary source of net operating income and cash flows;

cause the capital markets generally to become restricted or unavailable, thereby limiting our access to any needed debt or equity capital financing;

impact the business of, or cause the loss of, certain critical third-party suppliers or other service providers;


•	restrict our ability to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis at the current rate, or at all, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements and continue to qualify as a REIT;

impair the value of our tangible or intangible assets;

require us to record loss contingencies and incur additional expenses related to our COVID-19 response; or

cause the U.S. economy to suffer an extended economic slowdown, which could lead to a prolonged recession or even economic depression, which in turn would affect the demand for our apartment communities and could have an adverse impact on our business and operating results.

We have taken the following actions in order to protect our residents and employees, manage expenses and preserve cash flow during the COVID-19 pandemic:

With respect to capital projects and investments, we continue to monitor changing government rules and regulations related to COVID-19 and continue to abide by the guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control and have initiated a review of capital spend to identify projects that can be delayed;

We have eliminated the majority of planned travel expense for our team members through the end of 2020; and

We have moved the meetings of our Board of Trustees to virtual meetings, thereby limiting the expense associated with in-person meetings.

Table of Contents

severity, and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Despite our efforts to manage our response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our rental revenue for the remainder of 2020 and future years cannot be determined at present. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with residents, commercial tenants, government officials, and business partners and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse impacts on our business. Our management remains committed to ensuring the safety of our team members, residents, and communities, and to maintaining the financial stability of our business enterprise for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funds from Operations ("FFO") applicable to common shares and Units for the three months ended June 30, ~~2019 increased~~2020 decreased to ~~$18.8~~$12.4 million compared to ~~$11.6~~$18.8 million for the comparable period ended June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, primarily due to a ~~$6.3 million~~ gain on litigation ~~settlement.~~settlement of $6.3 million in the prior year which did not recur in the current period, decreased NOI, and increased casualty loss, offset by reductions in interest expense and general and administrative expense. The drivers of these changes are discussed in more detail in the “Results of Operations” section below.

In our ongoing efforts to improve the quality of our portfolio and balance sheet, in June 2020 we ~~completed the following transactions during~~announced that we will be including Nashville as one of our target markets for acquisition of apartment communities. During the second quarter of ~~2019:~~


•	~~We sold one~~2020, we disposed of our sole remaining parcel of unimproved land ~~in Minot, North Dakota, for a total sale price of $725,000.~~

~~We sold a property in Minot, North Dakota which houses our Minot corporate office~~ for a total sale price of ~~$6.5~~$1.3 million. We also purchased an office building for $2.1 million, which will become our new Minot, North Dakota corporate office building after renovations have been completed. We will lease space in the sold building until the new office is placed in service.

~~We repurchased approximately 116,000 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $6.9 million, including commissions, and approximately 133,000 Units for an aggregate total cost of $8.0 million.~~

We recorded a gain on litigation settlement of $6.3 million from the settlement of a construction defect claim. The gain consisted of $4.0 million of cash received, $937,000 of cash receivable, and $1.4 million of liabilities waived under the terms of the settlement.

We entered into a $50.0 million interest rate swap to fix the rate on a portion of our $250.0 million primary line of credit. This credit facility matures on August 31, 2022, with one twelve-month option to extend the maturity date at our election.

Weighted average occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental revenue by scheduled rental revenue. Scheduled rental revenue represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant homes valued at estimated market rents. When calculating actual rents for occupied homes and market rents for vacant homes, delinquencies, and concessions are not taken into account. Market rates are determined using the currently offered effective rates on new leases at the community and are used as the starting point in determination of the market rates of vacant apartment homes. We believe that weighted average occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant unit at its estimated market rate. Weighted average occupancy may not completely reflect short-term trends in physical occupancy, and our calculation of weighted average occupancy may not be comparable to that disclosed by other REITs.

~~Net Operating Income, or~~ NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which we define as total real estate revenues less property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expenses. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

We have provided certain information on a same-store and non-same-store basis. Same-store apartment communities are owned or in service for the entirety of the periods being compared, and, in the case of development properties, have achieved a target level of physical occupancy of 90%. On the first day of each calendar year, we determine the composition of our same-store pool for that year as well as adjust the previous year, which allows us to evaluate full period-over-period operating comparisons for existing apartment communities and their contribution to net income. We believe that measuring performance on a same-store basis is useful to investors because it enables evaluation of how a fixed pool of our communities are performing year-over-year. We use this measure to assess whether or not we have been successful in increasing NOI, raising average rental revenue, renewing the leases on existing residents, controlling operating costs, and making prudent capital improvements. The discussion below focuses on the main factors affecting real estate revenue and expenses from same-store apartment communities because changes from one year to another in real estate revenue and expenses from non-same-store apartment communities are generally due to the addition of those properties to our real estate portfolio, and accordingly provide less useful information for evaluating ongoing operational performance of our real estate portfolio.

For the comparison of the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, four apartment communities were non-same-store. Sold communities are included in "Other," which also includes non-multifamily properties and the non-multifamily components of mixed-use properties.

Funds from Operations.

We believe that FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation does not assume the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation.

We use the definition of Funds from Operations ("FFO") adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding:

depreciation and amortization related to real estate;

gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets; 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.

The exclusion in Nareit’s definition of FFO of impairment write-downs and gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets helps to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the base of our investments, and assists management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods.

Due to limitations of the Nareit FFO definition, ~~adopted by Nareit,~~ we have made certain interpretations in applying ~~the~~this definition. We believe that all such interpretations not specifically provided for in the Nareit definition are consistent with ~~the~~this definition. Nareit's FFO White Paper 2018 Restatement clarified that impairment write-downs of land related to a REIT's main business are excluded from FFO and a REIT has the option to exclude impairment write-downs of assets that are incidental to the main business.

We believe that FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, thereby providing an additional perspective on our operating results. We believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. The exclusion in Nareit’s definition of FFO of impairment write-

~~Table of Contents~~

downs and gains and losses from the sale of real estate assets helps to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the base of our investments, and assists management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods.

While FFO is widely used by us as a primary performance metric, not all real estate companies use the same definition of FFO or calculate FFO the same way. Accordingly, FFO presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure. FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs or our ability to service indebtedness or make distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Liquidity and Financial Condition~~Overview

We desire to ~~create and maintain a strong~~strengthen the current balance sheet, ~~that~~which offers financial flexibility and enables us to pursue and acquire apartment communities that enhance our portfolio composition, operating metrics, and cash flow growth prospects. We intend to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by continuing to focus on improving our core fundamentals, which include generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand ~~our unsecured credit facility,~~ and cash flows generated from operations. Other sources include availability under our unsecured lines of credit, proceeds from property dispositions, including restricted cash related to net tax deferred proceeds, offerings of preferred and common ~~stock~~shares under our shelf registration statement, including offerings of ~~preferred and~~ common ~~units~~shares under our ~~limited partnership agreement,~~2019 ATM Program, and long-term unsecured ~~term loans or long-term~~debt and secured mortgages.

Our primary liquidity demands are normally-recurring operating and overhead expenses, debt service and repayments, capital improvements to our communities, distributions to the holders of our preferred shares, common shares, Series D preferred units, and Units, value-add redevelopment, common and preferred share buybacks and Unit redemptions, and acquisitions of additional communities.

Table of Contents

Although we believe that our financial condition and liquidity are sufficient to meet our reasonably anticipated liquidity demands during ~~2019 and 2020. Factors~~2020, factors that could ~~increase or decrease~~impact our future liquidity include, but are not limited to, volatility in capital and credit markets, our ability to access capital and credit markets, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential impact on our ability to access the capital and credit markets on reasonable terms (or at all), the minimum REIT dividend requirements, and our ability to complete asset purchases, sales, or developments.

~~Capital Resources and Cash Flows~~

As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we had total liquidity of approximately ~~$89.5~~$239.7 million, which included ~~$72.1~~$187.0 million available on our line of credit and ~~$17.4~~$52.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we had total liquidity of approximately ~~$188.8~~$226.5 million, which included ~~$175.0~~$199.9 million on our line of credit and ~~$13.8~~$26.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.

COVID-19-Related Impacts on Liquidity

We anticipate that our primary sources of liquidity will continue to be cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows generated from operations (although cash flows may be reduced as a result of lower monthly collections of rent as well as the potential for lower occupancy or reduced rental rates during and after the COVID-19 pandemic), and availability under our unsecured lines of credit.

At the end of the second quarter, we had $239.7 million of total liquidity on our balance sheet, including $187.0 million available under our unsecured line of credit and $52.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

We ~~also had~~have approximately $9.4 million of debt maturities remaining in 2020 and approximately $35.6 million of debt maturities in 2021.

We have approximately $34.0 million remaining to fund, primarily over the next 12 months, under construction and mezzanine loans we originated for the development of a multifamily community in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Other available sources of liquidity proceeds from property dispositions, including restricted cash related to net tax deferred proceeds; offerings of ~~$4.7 million~~preferred and ~~$5.5 million~~common shares under our shelf registration statement, including offerings of common shares under our 2019 ATM Program; and long term unsecured term loans and secured mortgages. However, due to the economic disruption caused by COVID-19-related events, the terms of future debt and equity issuances may not be as favorable for the foreseeable future as they have been in recent years. For a discussion of ~~June 30, 2019~~our debt facilities and ~~December 31, 2018, respectively, consisting primarily~~the impact of ~~loan application deposits~~COVID-19 -related effects thereon, see "Debt" and ~~escrows held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance, and capital additions.~~"Potential Impact of COVID-19-Related Effects on Continuing Debt Availability" below.

Debt

We have an unsecured credit facility for $395.0 million, with the commitment allocated to a revolving line of credit for $250.0 million and the remaining $145.0 million allocated between two term loans: a $70.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on January 15, 2024 and a $75.0 million unsecured term loan that matures on August 31, 2025.

As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, our line of credit had total commitments of $250.0 million, with borrowing capacity based on the value of properties contained in an unencumbered asset pool ("UAP"). The UAP provided for a borrowing capacity of approximately $250.0 million at quarter-end, offering additional borrowing availability of ~~$72.1~~$187.0 million beyond the ~~$177.9~~$63.0 million drawn, including the balance on our operating line of credit, as of June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. At December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the line of credit borrowing capacity was ~~$232.5~~$250.0 million based on the UAP, of which ~~$57.5~~$50.1 million was drawn on the ~~line.~~line, including the balance on our operating line of credit. This credit facility matures on August 31, 2022, with one twelve-month option to extend the maturity date at our election.

~~During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we entered into a $50.0 million interest rate swap to fix the interest rate on a portion of our primary line of credit.~~

As of June 30, 2020, we had a private shelf agreement for the issuance of up to $150.0 million of unsecured senior promissory notes. In September 2019, we ~~had 49 unencumbered apartment communities representing 56.9%~~issued $75.0 million of ~~second quarter 2019 multifamily NOI,~~Series A notes due September 13, 2029, bearing interest at a rate of ~~which 14 apartment communities, representing approximately 12.3%~~3.84% annually, and $50.0 million of ~~second quarter 2019 multifamily NOI, are not pledged~~Series B notes due September 30, 2028, bearing interest at a rate of 3.69% annually, under ~~the UAP.~~

this facility. An additional $25.0 million remains available under this agreement.

We also have a $6.0 million operating line of credit. This operating line of credit is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. This operating line has a one-year term, with pricing based on a market spread plus the one-month LIBOR index rate.

~~For information regarding~~Mortgage loan indebtedness was $325.2 million and $331.4 million on June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All of our mortgage debt is at fixed rates of interest, with staggered maturities. This decreases the exposure to changes in interest rates, which reduces the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our results of operations and cash ~~flows~~flows. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted average interest rate on our mortgage debt was 4.01%.

Potential Impact of COVID-19-Related Effects on Continuing Debt Availability

Although we are in compliance with our covenants under all of our debt facilities and currently expect to continue to remain in compliance with these covenants, there can be no assurance that we will remain in compliance with those covenants or be able to access these funds depending on the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the breadth of its impact on the U.S. economy generally and the credit markets in particular. Under the terms of our credit facility, we may be unable to obtain advances under our credit facility if:

we are unable to make certain representations and warranties, including a certification that, since April 30, 2018, there has been no adverse change in our business, financial condition, operations, performance or properties, taken as a whole, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect;

changes in our consolidated property NOI or capitalization rates applicable to the properties in our borrowing base reduce or eliminate availability under our credit facility; or

changes in the nature and composition (including occupancy rate) of the properties in our borrowing base cause these properties to become ineligible to be part of our borrowing base, and if we are not able to replace such properties with other qualifying properties, such ineligibility could reduce or eliminate the availability under our credit facility.

Even if we remain in compliance with the foregoing representations, warranties, and covenants, we may be unable to access the full amount available under our credit facilities if our lenders fail to fund their commitments, which could occur if:

credit market deterioration or overall economic conditions affect the ability of one or more of our lenders to meet their funding commitments under our revolving credit facility. If a lender fails to fund its commitment under the revolving credit facility, that portion of the credit facility will be unavailable if the lender’s commitment is not replaced by a new commitment from an alternate lender;

distressed market conditions cause our lenders to transfer their commitments to other institutions, which could result in committed funds not being available, particularly if consolidation of the commitments under our credit facility or among its lenders were to occur; or

we are unable to obtain additional letters of credit due to a default by any lender in meeting its funding obligations.

As of the date of this filing, we have not experienced any restrictions or limitations on the availability of credit in our markets or with our lenders, although there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to access the credit markets generally or our credit facility in the future.

Equity

We have an equity distribution agreement in connection with the 2019 ATM Program through which we may offer and sell common shares having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $150.0 million, in amounts and at times that we determine. The proceeds from the sale of common shares under the 2019 ATM program are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of future acquisitions and the repayment of indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued approximately 674,000 common shares under the 2019 ATM program at an average price of $71.56 per share, net of commissions. Total consideration, net of commissions and ~~2018, see~~issuance costs, was approximately $48.3 million. As of June 30, 2020, common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $79.5 million remained available under the 2019 ATM Program.

Changes in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following discussion relates to changes in consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash which are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Part I, Item 1 above.

In addition to cash flow from operations, during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, we generated capital from various activities, including:

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, filed with the SEC on February ~~27, 2019~~19, 2020 under the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” ~~Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases" which required lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet through right of use assets and lease liabilities. It also made certain changes to lessor accounting.~~ Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations. We currently use interest rate swaps to offset the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our variable-rate term loans. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate swaps expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the agreements.

See our ~~Transition~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~eight months~~year ended December 31, ~~2018~~2019 under the heading "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for a more complete discussion of our interest rate sensitivity. As of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since our ~~Transition~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~eight months~~year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, ~~2019,~~2020, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d), management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has identified no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during that quarter ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 and 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 our operations, we become involved in litigation. At this time, we know of no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or of which any of our property is the subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There~~The COVID-19 pandemic could have ~~been no material changes~~the effect of heightening many of the risks described in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including, without limitation, the following:

"Our financial performance is subject to risks associated with the real estate industry and ownership of apartment communities";

"Our property acquisition activities may not produce the cash flows expected and could subject us to various risks that could adversely affect our operating results";

"We may be unable to acquire or develop properties and expand our operations into new or existing markets successfully";

"We are dependent on a concentration of our investments in a single asset class, making our results of operations more vulnerable to a downturn or slowdown in the sector or other economic factors";

"Our operations are concentrated in certain regions of the United States, and we are subject to general economic conditions in the regions in which we operate";

"Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid and various other factors limit our ability to dispose of assets, we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate";

"Inability to manage growth effectively may adversely affect our operating results";

"Future cash flows may not be sufficient to ensure recoverability of the carrying value of our real estate assets";

"The restrictive terms of indebtedness may cause acceleration of debt payments and constrain our ability to conduct certain transactions";

"Our stock price may fluctuate significantly"; and

"Payment of distributions on our common shares is not guaranteed,"

In addition to the ~~Risk Factors~~risk factors listed above and those risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A in our ~~Transition~~Annual Report on Form ~~10-KT~~10-K for the ~~transition period~~year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, we are presenting the following updated and additional risk factors to help investors understand the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business:

The COVID-19 Pandemic Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business and Our Financial Results

If our employees or their family members become ill, it could affect the operation of our business and the maintenance of our properties. Ongoing social distancing requirements and stay-at-home directives affect the daily lives of our employees and residents and impact our ability to show apartment homes to potential residents, while the ongoing loss of jobs and rising unemployment levels affect the ability of some of our residents to pay rent on a timely basis, renew existing leases or enter into new leases. Certain states and cities, including where our apartment communities are located, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home directives, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. We cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions or when restrictions currently in place will be lifted. Many experts predict that the pandemic will trigger, or has already triggered, a global recession.

The COVID-19 pandemic could have material and adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the foreseeable future. The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could:

cause our residents or commercial tenants to defer or stop rental payments, and abandon or fail to renew leases, which would reduce our primary source of net operating income and cash flows;

cause us to increase our borrowing and our leverage and/or seek other sources of financing, which may not be available on favorable terms;

cause us to fail to satisfy certain of the covenants under our line of credit or other borrowing facilities, which could limit our access to such financings or even lead to an event of default;

cause the capital markets generally to become restricted or unavailable, thereby limiting our access to any needed debt or equity capital financing;

Table of Contents

impact the business of, or cause the loss of, certain critical third-party suppliers or other service providers;

restrict our ability to continue to pay dividends on a quarterly basis at the current rate, or at all;

impair the value of our tangible or intangible assets;

require us to record loss contingencies and incur additional expenses related to our COVID-19 response; or

Any of the foregoing factors, or others, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations for so long as COVID-19 continues to impact the U.S. economy in general and multifamily apartment communities in particular.

The extent to which the economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity, and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

A terrorism attack, other geopolitical crisis, or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, could negatively affect various aspects of our business, including our workforce and supply chains, and could make it more difficult and expensive to meet our obligations to our residents.

Our operations are susceptible to national or international events, including acts or threats of war or terrorism, political instability, natural disasters, and health epidemics or pandemics. These risks include a widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in a worldwide pandemic that has affected hundreds of countries around the world, including the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in travel bans, quarantines, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. As a result of pandemics, including COVID-19, businesses can be shut down, supply chains can be interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable, and individuals can become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governmental mandates may require dramatic changes at our apartment communities or could impact the availability of goods or services from many of our suppliers for extended or indefinite periods of time.

Our business depends on our ability to continue to provide high quality housing and consistent operation of our apartment communities, the failure of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business depends on providing our residents with quality housing and reliable services (including utilities), along with the consistent operation of our communities and their associated amenities, including covered parking, swimming pools, clubhouses with fitness facilities, playground areas, and other similar features. We may be required to undertake significant capital expenditures to renovate or reconfigure our communities in order to attract new residents and retain existing residents. The delayed delivery, material reduction, or prolonged interruption in any of these services, including as a result of social distancing policies enforced during the COVID-19 pandemic, may cause our residents to terminate their leases, may result in the reduction of rents and/or may result in an increase in our costs. In addition, we may fail to provide quality housing and continuous access to amenities as a result of other factors, including mechanical failure, power failure, inclement weather, physical or electronic security breaches, vandalism or acts of terrorism, or other similar events. Any of these issues could cause our residents to terminate or fail to renew their leases, could expose us to additional costs or liability claims, and could damage our reputation, any of which could impact our ability to provide quality housing and consistent operation of our apartment communities, which in turn could materially affect our business and results of operations.

Our inability to renew, repay, or refinance our debt may result in losses.We incur a significant amount of debt in the ordinary course of our business and in connection with acquisitions of real properties. Because we have a limited ability to retain earnings as a result of the REIT distribution requirements, we will generally be required to refinance debt that matures with additional debt or equity. We are subject to the normal risks associated with debt financing, including the risks that:

our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, particularly if net operating income is reduced significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic;

we will not be able to renew, refinance, or repay our indebtedness when due; and

the terms of any renewal or refinancing are at terms less favorable than the terms of our current indebtedness.

Table of Contents

These risks increase when credit markets are tight, as they may be during the COVID-19 pandemic. In general, when the credit markets are tight, we may encounter resistance from lenders when we seek financing or refinancing for properties or proposed acquisitions, and the terms of such financing or refinancing are likely to be less favorable to us than the terms of our current indebtedness.

We anticipate that we will need to refinance a significant portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. We cannot guarantee that any refinancing of debt with other debt will be possible on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us. If we cannot refinance, extend, or pay principal payments due at maturity with the proceeds of other capital transactions, our cash flows may not be sufficient in all years to repay debt as it matures. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to dispose of one or more properties on disadvantageous terms, which may result in losses. These losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, and our ability to pay amounts due on our debt. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments or refinance the debt at maturity, the mortgagor could foreclose upon the property, appoint a receiver, and receive an assignment of rents and leases or pursue other remedies, including taking ownership of the property, all with a consequent loss of revenues and asset value. Foreclosures also could affect our ability to obtain new debt and could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, thereby hindering our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements of the Code and impeding our ability to obtain financing for our other properties.

Additional federal unemployment funding under the CARES Act expired on July 31, 2020, which could adversely impact our residents' ability to pay rent and our results of operations.

On March 27, 2020, legislation to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic was signed into law. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act”) authorized more than $2 trillion to battle COVID-19 and its economic effects. Among other provisions, the CARES Act provided $600 per week in unemployment benefits from the federal government in addition to the state unemployment benefits to which an unemployed worker otherwise would be entitled. Because additional federal funding expired on July 31, 2020, the absence of this funding could impact our residents' ability to pay rent in August (and subsequent months), particularly if unemployment rates continue to remain high or even rise as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations.
