JuneSeptember 30, 2021
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited consolidated financial statements of Highlands REIT, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by Highlands REIT, Inc. on March 17, 2021, as certain note disclosures contained in such audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted from this Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise noted) necessary for a fair presentation, and to make these financial statements not misleading, have been included in these financial statements.
1. Organization
Highlands REIT, Inc. (“Highlands”), which was formed in December 2015, is a Maryland corporation with a portfolio of assets including multi-family, retail, office and industrial properties, a correctional facility and unimproved land. Prior to April 28, 2016, Highlands was a wholly-owned subsidiary of InvenTrust Properties Corp. (“InvenTrust” and formerly known as Inland American Real Estate Trust, Inc.), its former parent. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” and references to the “Company” refer to Highlands and its consolidated subsidiaries.
On April 28, 2016, Highlands was spun-off from InvenTrust through a pro rata distribution by InvenTrust of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Highlands to holders of record of InvenTrust's common stock as of the close of business on April 25, 2016 (the “Record Date”). Each holder of record of InvenTrust's common stock received 1 share of Common Stock for every 1 share of InvenTrust's common stock held at the close of business on the Record Date (the “Distribution”). As a result, Highlands became an independent, self-advised, non-traded public company. Highlands has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with Highlands' short taxable year ending December 31, 2016.
Each of our assets is owned by a separate legal entity, which maintains its own books and financial records, and each entity’s assets are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other affiliated entities, except as otherwise disclosed in Note 7. With the exception of one asset we own through a variable interest entity with a third-party partner (the “Corvue Venture”), we are the sole owner of each of these separate legal entities.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we have an approximate 85% interest in the Corvue Venture and have funded equity contributions to the Corvue Venture in the approximate amount of $9,000. See Note 2 for additional information regarding the basis of presentation of the Corvue Venture, which is consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company owned 20 properties and 1 parcel of unimproved land.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The Companyimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially changed from the information included in our Annual Report and other periodic or current reports on file with the SEC. The primary impact of the pandemic was and continues to closely monitorbe related to our tenants' ability to make their future rental payments in a timely fashion or at all. We have been working with our tenants to collect rental payments that are commensurate to our contractual rights under our lease agreements.

At this time, given the uncertainty related to variants of the virus, we are unable to predict whether cases of COVID-19 in our markets will decrease, increase, or remain the same, whether the approved COVID-19 vaccines will be effective against the virus and new variants of the virus, efficiently distributed in our markets and widely accepted by the public, and whether local governments will mandate closures of our tenants' businesses or implement other restrictive measures on their and our operations in the future in response to a resurgence of the pandemic. We have taken and will continue to consider a number of measures to mitigate the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business. The extent of the pandemic's effect on our operationalbusiness and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread, intensity and any resurgence of the pandemic, including the rise and prevalence of any variants of the virus, the distribution and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines by healthcare providers, and the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic, all of which continue to be uncertain.
Given the uncertainty, we cannot predict the effect on future periods, but the adverse impact that could occur on the Company's future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be material, including, but not limited to, as a result of extended eviction moratoriums, additional rent deferrals, payment plans, lease concessions, waiving late payment fees, charges from potential adjustments to the carrying amount of the receivables, and asset impairment charges.condition.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and require 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2021, as certain note disclosures contained in such audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Highlands and its consolidated subsidiaries. Highlands consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any other entities which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if Highlands is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The portions of the equity and net income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the Company are presented separately as amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Entities which Highlands does not control, and entities which are VIEs in which Highlands is not a primary beneficiary, if any, are accounted for under appropriate GAAP. Highlands' subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (“LLCs”). The effects of all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 - Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE in its consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE, and the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have determined we are the primary beneficiary of one VIE, the Corvue Venture, and have consolidated the operations of this entity in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. We reviewed the operating agreement of the Corvue Venture in order to determine our rights and the rights of our third-party partner, including whether those rights are protective or participating. We have determined we are the primary beneficiary of the Corvue Venture because we have (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Corvue Venture, (b) the obligation to absorb the losses that could be significant to the Corvue Venture and (c) the right to receive the benefits that could be significant to the Corvue Venture. Included in total assets and liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 is $26,375$25,848 and $19,276,$18,812, respectively, related to the Corvue Venture. Included in total assets and liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 is $26,449 and $19,267, respectively, related to the Corvue Venture. The assets of the Corvue Venture may only be used to settle obligations of the Corvue Venture and the creditors of the Corvue Venture have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
The Company commences revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of, or controls, the physical use of the leased asset. Generally, this occurs on the lease commencement date. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If we are the owner,

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
JuneSeptember 30, 2021
for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. If we conclude we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (i.e., the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives which reduces revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space for the lessee to construct their own improvements. We consider a number of different factors to evaluate whether the Company or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements;
the uniqueness of the improvements;
the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and
who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is subject to significant judgment. In making that determination, we consider all of the above factors. No one factor, however, necessarily establishes its determination.
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Rental income lease-related receivables, which include contractual amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) clarified in July 2019 that, under ASC 842, lessors can continue to recognize a reserve (i.e., allowance for uncollectible operating lease receivables) under the loss contingency guidance in ASC 450-20 after applying the collectibility guidance in ASC 842. We evaluate the collectability of lease receivables monthly using several factors, including a lessee’s creditworthiness. We recognize the credit loss on lease-related receivables when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all lease payments is not probable. When collectability is determined not probable, any lease income subsequent to recognizing the credit loss is limited to the lesser of the lease income reflected on a straight-line basis or cash collected. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the adjustments to reduce rental income were $48an increase of $38 and $150,decrease of $108, respectively, for receivables where collection was determined not probable. NaN suchDuring the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the adjustments to reduce rental income were required during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.$40, in each period. Additionally, during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we reduced property operating expenses $25$50 and $75,$125, respectively, and increased property operating expenses $30 in both$270 and $300 during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively, for these credit losses.
The Company records lease termination income, included in other property income, if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met and amounts due are considered collectible.
Real Estate
We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land, building, other building improvements, tenant improvements, and intangible assets and liabilities (such as the value of above- and below-market leases, in-place leases and origination costs associated with in-place leases). The values of above- and below-market leases are recorded as intangible assets, net, and intangible liabilities, net, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are amortized as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to rental income over the remaining term of the associated tenant lease. The values associated with in-place leases are recorded in intangible assets, net, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the remaining lease term.

The difference between the contractual rental rates and our estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases, including below-market renewal options for which exercise of the renewal option appears to be reasonably assured. The remaining term of leases with renewal options at terms below market reflect the assumed exercise of such below-market renewal options and assume the amortization period would coincide with the extended lease term. In the event of early lease termination, the remaining net book value of any above- or below-market lease intangible is recognized as an adjustment of rental income, and the remaining net book value of any in-place lease intangible is recognized as accelerated amortization expense.
We perform, with the assistance of a third-party certified valuation specialist, the following procedures for properties we acquire:
Determine the accounting of the transaction as either a business combination or an asset acquisition;
Estimate the value of the property “as if vacant” as of the acquisition date;
Allocate the value of the property among land, building, and other improvements and determine the associated useful life for each;
Calculate the value and associated life of above- and below-market leases on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The difference between the contractual rental rates and our estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, including geographical location, size of leased area, tenant profile and credit risk);
Estimate the fair value of the tenant improvements, legal expenses and leasing commissions incurred to obtain the leases and calculate the associated useful life for each;
Estimate the fair value of assumed debt, if any, and value the favorable or unfavorable debt position acquired; and
Estimate the intangible value of the in-place leases based on lease execution costs of similar leases as well as lost rent payments during an assumed lease-up period and their associated useful lives on a tenant-by-tenant basis.
We recognize gains and losses from sales of investment properties and land in accordance with FASB ASC 610-20, “Gains and Losses From the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets.” We recognize gains and losses from sales of investment properties and land when we transfer control of a property and when it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the related consideration.
Capitalization and Depreciation
Real estate is reflected at cost less accumulated depreciation. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Building and other improvements are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives of 30 years for buildings and 3-15 years for building improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and site improvements. Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the tenant improvement or the lease term as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Leasing fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease as a component of depreciation and amortization expense. Loan fees are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the life of the related loan as a component of interest expense. Direct and indirect costs that are clearly related to the construction and improvements of investment properties are capitalized. Costs incurred for property taxes and insurance are capitalized during periods in which activities necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress. Interest costs are also capitalized during such periods.
Assets Held for Sale
In determining whether to classify an investment property as held for sale, the Company considers whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the investment property; (ii) the investment property is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) the Company has initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) the Company believes that the sale of the investment property is probable; (v) the Company has received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) the Company is actively marketing the investment property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its fair value; and (vii) actions required for the Company to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan.

JuneSeptember 30, 2021
If all of the above criteria are met, the Company classifies the investment property as held for sale. On the day that these criteria are met, the Company suspends depreciation on the investment properties held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases. The investment properties and liabilities associated with those investment properties that are held for sale are classified separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period and recorded at the lesser of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
There were no assets held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Impairment
The Company assesses the carrying values of the respective long-lived assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable, such as a reduction in the expected holding period of the asset. If it is determined that the carrying value is not recoverable because the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed carrying value, the Company records an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds fair value. The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on the Company’s continuous process of analyzing each asset and reviewing assumptions about uncertain inherent factors, as well as the economic condition of the asset at a particular point in time.
The use of projected future cash flows and related holding period is based on assumptions that are consistent with the estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan the Company uses to manage its underlying business. However, assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the Company’s ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment charges of the real estate assets. There were no impairment charges recognized during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 or 2020.
Going Concern Basis of Accounting
When preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management has the responsibility to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its evaluation, the Company considers, but is not limited to, any risks and/or uncertainties to its results of operations, contractual obligations in the form of near-term debt maturities, dividend requirements, or other factors impacting the Company’s liquidity and capital resources. No conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern within one year were identified as of the issuance date of the financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a document titled “Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic” (“FASB Q&A document”), which focused on the application of lease guidance for concessions related to the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic. In this document, the FASB staff allowed entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, Leases, (“Topic 842”) as though enforceable rights and obligations for those qualifying concessions existed.
The FASB also acknowledged that some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. The FASB indicated that a deferral affects the timing of payments, but the amount of consideration is substantially the same as that required under the original contract. The staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the staff believes are more preferable than others. Two of those methods are:

HIGHLANDS REIT, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
JuneSeptember 30, 2021
Account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable, and a lessee would increase its accounts payable as receivables accrue. In its statements of operations, a lessor would continue to recognize income, and a lessee would continue to recognize expense during the deferral period.
•    Account for the deferred payments as a variable lease payment.
In cases where we granted a payment deferral as a result of COVID-19, we have accounted for most of the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, we increased our lease receivable as receivables accrued in our statements of operations and will continue to recognize rental income during the deferral period. Refer also to Note 1, Organization, and Note 5, Leases, for discussion related to the impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2021 and March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 and ASU 2020-04, respectively, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. These pronouncements contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During March 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU removes the requirement to disclose: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not discussed above have been excluded because they are either not relevant to the Company, or are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
3. Acquired Properties
The Company records identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at fair value. There were no property acquisitions during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company acquired 1 multi-family asset for a gross acquisition price of $7,372. Under ASU 2017-01, the Company determined this transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition. Accordingly, the Company capitalized transaction costs of approximately $72.

5. Leases
Leasing as a lessor
We lease multifamily properties under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. We lease commercial properties (our net lease, office and retail segments) under operating leases with remaining lease terms that range from less than one year to 16 years as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
We recognize rental income from our multifamily and commercial leases when earned on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Recognition of rental income commences when control of the leased space has been transferred to the tenant.
We recognize cost reimbursement income from pass-through expenses on an accrual basis over the periods in which the expenses were incurred. Pass-through expenses are comprised of real estate taxes, operating expenses and common area maintenance costs which are reimbursed by tenants in accordance with specific allowable costs per tenant lease agreements.
Parking revenues are derived from leases and monthly parking agreements. We recognize parking revenues from leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and other parking revenues as earned.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, we elected not to bifurcate lease contracts into lease and non-lease components, since the timing and pattern of revenue is not materially different and the non-lease components are not the primary component of the lease. Accordingly, both lease and non-lease components are presented in rental income in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the Company executed an amendment to its lease with Alta Devices, Inc. (“Alta”) for one building of our Trimble office asset located in San Jose, California.  The amendment with Alta acknowledged Alta was in payment default of its lease, and we collected on a letter of credit. The lease terminated during the first fiscal quarter of 2020 and $671 was recognized in rental income and $768 was recognized in other property income from the proceeds of the letter of credit that secured Alta's obligations under the lease. In February 2021, the Company executed a lease with Veeco Instruments, Inc. (“Veeco”) for approximately 97,000 square feet at our Trimble office asset, replacing the Alta lease. See also Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies for additional discussion of this lease.

JuneSeptember 30, 2021
On August 2, 2019, we received a notice of non-renewal from The GEO Group, Inc. (“GEO”) indicating that it would not be seeking an extension of its lease on our Hudson correctional facility asset. The lease on this asset expired in January 2020 and GEO has vacated the facility. The facility remains vacant as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. We recorded a full impairment of the asset of $16,804 during the fourth quarter of 2020. While we will seek to re-lease or find alternative users for this asset, given the nature of the property, its location and its extended period of vacancy, we expect it will be very difficult to re-lease or find alternative users for this property. Even if we are successful in finding alternative users, we expect it will take an extended period of time to do so, if at all. Further, we believe it is unlikely that we will be able to find alternative users on similar terms. As we do not expect to find alternative users, re-lease the property, or re-lease on similar terms in the foreseeable future, we expect the expiration of this lease to continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Notwithstanding the expiration of this lease, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.
Lease income related to the Company's operating leases is comprised of the following:

The Company's ability to pay off the mortgages when they become due is dependent upon the Company's ability either to refinance the related mortgage debt or to sell the related asset. With respect to each mortgage loan, if the applicable wholly-owned property-owning subsidiary is unable to refinance or sell the related asset, or in the event that the estimated asset value is less than the mortgage balance, the applicable wholly-owned property-owning subsidiary may, if appropriate, satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the asset to the lender or permitting a lender to foreclose. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our mortgage debt was recourse to the Company, although Highlands or its subsidiaries may act as guarantor under customary, non-recourse, carve-out guarantees in connection with obtaining mortgage loans on certain of our properties.
Some of the mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with such covenants in all material respects.covenants.

We intend to continue to make all monthly mortgage payments when due for each of the Market at Hilliard, Buckhorn Plaza and State Street properties, but our ability and willingness to make payments under these mortgages may change if some or all of the tenants at these properties fail to make their monthly rental payments.

The loan documents governing the mortgage encumbering the State Street property include a “cash trap” provision that is triggered if DICK'S Sporting Goods, which iswas an anchor tenant at the State Street property, failsfailed to renew its lease agreement. During September 2020, we were informed that DICK'S Sporting Goods would not renew its lease at the State Street property. As a result, we received notice that the lender under the State Street mortgage exercised its right to trigger this “cash trap” provision, and, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, all of the cash flows from the State Street property which would otherwise have been available for our use were trapped into a blocked account controlled by the lender pending approval of a substitute lease. If, during that period, the terms of the loan agreement are not satisfied, those funds will be swept by the lender in mandatory prepayment of the mortgage. As of the date of this filing, a replacement tenant has not been identified. Net cash held by the lender is included in restricted cash and escrows on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and totaled $212$585 and $293, respectively. This arrangement does not impact the accounting for this asset on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Termination of Credit Agreement
On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company “right-sized” the Credit Agreement by eliminating the Term Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) previously available under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under the Revolving Credit Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) to repay all of its obligations under the Term Loan. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the lender under the Credit Agreement waived the Company’s obligation to comply with certain financial covenants for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Waiver Period”) and restricted the Company from drawing on the Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20,000 until the Company is in compliance with all such covenants. On January 21, 2021, the Company repaid $5,000 of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and on March 29, 2021, repaid in full all of the remaining outstanding indebtedness consisting of approximately $15,000 of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Credit Agreement and related security interests, and all commitments thereunder, were terminated in conjunction with such payment in full.
Mortgages Encumbered by Multi-family Assets
On January 8, 2019, the Company assumed a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $11,089, net of a debt discount of $292 in connection with the acquisition of The Detroit and Detroit Terraces. The contractual rate and terms of the assumed debt was marked to market as of the acquisition date. According to the terms of the note agreement, the contractual fixed interest rate is 3.99% and payments are interest-only through September 30, 2022. The maturity date of the mortgage loan is on August 31, 2027.
The Company obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $18,750 in connection with the acquisition of The Locale on August 16, 2019. The Company entered into a swap agreement with respect to the loan, effective through its September 1, 2023 maturity date, to swap the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 3.27% per annum. The interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable spread. The effective interest rate as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, is approximately 1.84%.
8. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, the Company defines fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
JuneSeptember 30, 2021
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The Company has estimated fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
    Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments, described below, are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company may use interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had 1 derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, with a notional amount of $18,750 and a maturity date of September 1, 2023. This derivative is an interest rate swap that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
For derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount recorded as other comprehensive income related to our derivative financial instrument was $61$56 and $174$230 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021.2021, respectively. The amount recorded as other comprehensive income was $75 and other comprehensive loss was $57 and $809$734 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, respectively.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable rate debt. The Company estimates that $252 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months.

The fair value of our derivative financial instrument was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under authoritative accounting guidance, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivative also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instrument was assessed, and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instrument. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instrument in its entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-Recurring Measurements     
In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, events and circumstances indicated that certain retail and multi-family properties might be impaired. However, the Company's estimates of undiscounted cash flows indicated that such carrying amounts were expected to be recovered. Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of undiscounted cash flows may change in the future resulting in the need to write down assets to fair value.
Financial Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The table below represents the fair value of financial instruments presented at carrying values in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and as of December 31, 2020.

Debt$63,096 $61,436 $83,898 $81,703 
The Company estimates the fair value of its debt instruments using a weighted average market effective interest rate of 4.72%4.78% and 4.33% per annum as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage loans and revolving credit loan facility by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The rates used are based on credit spreads observed in the marketplace during the quarter for similar debt instruments, and a floor rate that the Company has derived using its subjective judgment for each asset segment. Based on this, the Company determines the appropriate rate for each of its individual mortgage loans and revolving credit loan facility based upon the specific terms of the agreement, including the term to maturity, the quality and nature of the underlying property and its leverage ratio. The weighted average market effective interest rates used range from 3.04%3.06% to 6.14%6.31% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021. For certain debt, the Company

the Company estimates the fair value of debt instruments based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company has determined that its debt instrument valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, the authority that regulates LIBOR, announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing RATE (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to U.S. Dollar LIBOR (“USD-LIBOR”) for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. There is no guarantee that a transition from LIBOR to an alternative will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark rates, or financing costs to borrowers. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR, and we are monitoring this activity and evaluating related risks.
9. Income Taxes
The Company is taxed and operates in a manner that will allow the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. So long as it maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders each year. If the Company fails to continue to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and would not be able to re-elect REIT status during the four years following the year of the failure. Although the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and 2020, 0no income tax benefit or expense was included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
10. Segment Reporting
GAAP has established guidance for reporting information about a company’s operating segments. The Company monitors and reviews its segment reporting structure in accordance with guidance under ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact its reportable segments. The Company currently has 4 business segments, consisting of (i) net lease, (ii) retail, (iii) multi-tenant office and (iv) multi-family. The net lease segment consists of single-tenant office and industrial assets, as well as the Company’s correctional facility. The Company’s unimproved land assets are presented below in Other.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References to “Highlands,” the “Company,” “we” or “us” are to Highlands REIT, Inc., as well as all of Highlands' wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the historical consolidated financial statements, and related notes included elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, estimates and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to, factors discussed in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than purely historical information, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 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”). These statements include statements about Highlands’ plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance and outlook, trends, the amount and timing of future cash distributions, prospects or future events and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual financial results, performance, achievements or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “guidance,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “illustrative” and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Highlands and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the business and industry, are inherently uncertain. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and stockholders should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic; the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K; business, financial and operating risks inherent to real estate investments and the industry; our ability to renew leases, lease vacant space, or re-lease space as leases expire; our ability to repay or refinance our debt as it comes due; difficulty selling or re-leasing our properties due to their specific characteristics as described elsewhere in this report; contraction in the global economy or low levels of economic growth; our ability to sell our assets at a price and on a timeline consistent with our investment objectives, or at all; our ability to service our debt; changes in interest rates and operating costs; compliance with regulatory regimes and local laws; uninsured or underinsured losses, including those relating to natural disasters or terrorism; domestic or international instability or political or civil unrest; our status as an emerging growth company; the amount of debt that we currently have or may incur in the future; provisions in our debt agreements that may restrict the operation of our business; our separation from InvenTrust and our ability to operate as a stand-alone public reporting company; our organizational and governance structure; our status as a REIT; the cost of compliance with and liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws; adverse litigation judgments or settlements; changes in real estate and zoning laws and increase in real property tax rates; changes in federal, state or local tax law, including legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions affecting REITs; changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof; and estimates relating to our ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future.
The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S., regional and global economies and the broader financial markets is currently one of the most significant factors impacting our Company. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, many of the other important factors described above. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity, duration and any resurgences of the pandemic domestically and internationally, including the rise and prevalence of any variants to the virus, the effectiveness and duration of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets where we own and operate properties, including the effect on our tenants' operations and ability to pay rent.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause our actual financial results, performance, achievements or prospects to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results. All forward-looking statements attributable to

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws.

Overview
We are a self-advised and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) created to own and manage substantially all of the “non-core” assets previously owned and managed by our former parent, InvenTrust Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation (“InvenTrust”). On April 28, 2016, we were spun-off from InvenTrust through a pro rata distribution (the “Distribution”) by InvenTrust of 100% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to holders of InvenTrust’s common stock. Prior to or concurrent with the separation, we and InvenTrust engaged in certain reorganization transactions that were designed to consolidate substantially all of InvenTrust’s remaining “non-core” assets in Highlands.
This portfolio of “non-core” assets, which were acquired by InvenTrust between 2005 and 2008, included assets that are special use, single tenant or build to suit; face unresolved legal issues; are in undesirable locations or in weak markets or submarkets; are aging or functionally obsolete; and/or have sub-optimal leasing metrics. A number of our assets are retail properties located in tertiary markets, which are particularly susceptible to the negative trends affecting retail real estate, including the severe effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these characteristics, such assets are difficult to lease, finance and refinance and are relatively illiquid compared to other types of real estate assets. These factors also significantly limit our asset disposition options, impact the timing of such dispositions and restrict the viable options available to the Company for a future potential liquidity option.
Our strategy is focused on preserving, protecting and maximizing the total value of our portfolio with the long-term objective of providing stockholders with a return of their investment. We engage in rigorous asset management, and seek to sustain and enhance our portfolio, and improve the quality and income-producing ability of our portfolio, by engaging in selective dispositions, acquisitions, capital expenditures, financing, refinancing and enhanced leasing. We are also focused on cost containment efforts across our portfolio, improving our overall capital structure and making select investments in our existing “non-core” assets to maximize their value. To the extent we are able to generate cash flows from operations or dispositions of assets, in addition to the cash uses outlined above, our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to seek to reinvest in assets that are more likely to generate more reliable and stable cash flows, such as multi-family assets, as part of the Company’s overall strategy to optimize the value of the portfolio, enhance our options for a future potential liquidity option and maximize shareholder value. Given the nature and quality of the “non-core” assets in our portfolio as well as current market conditions, a definitive timeline for execution of our strategy cannot be made. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has disrupted our efforts to implement a liquidity option and, although we cannot predict when circumstances will improve, we will continue to evaluate options to implement a liquidity option during 2022. However, we may be unable to execute on such a transaction on terms we would find attractive for our stockholders and our ability to do so will be influenced by external and macroeconomic factors, including, among others, the effects and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and future resurgences, the timing and nature of recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rate movements, local, regional, national and global economic performance, government policy changes and competitive factors.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, our portfolio of assets consisted of one office asset, two industrial assets, four retail assets, twelve multi-family assets, one correctional facility and one parcel of unimproved land. We currently have four business segments, consisting of (i) net lease, (ii) retail, (iii) multi-tenant office and (iv) multi-family. Our unimproved land asset is presented in “other.” We may have additional or fewer segments in the future to the extent we enter into additional real property sectors, dispose of properties, or change the character of our assets. For the complete presentation of our reportable segments, see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, and 2020.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company. Highlands consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any other entities which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if Highlands is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The portions of the equity and net income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the Company are presented separately as amounts attributable to non-controlling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Entities which Highlands does not control and entities which are VIEs in which Highlands is not a primary beneficiary, if any, are accounted for under

appropriate GAAP. Highlands' subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies (“LLCs”). The effects of all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Critical accounting policies are described in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of critical accounting policies may require management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
Our Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
Our revenues are primarily derived from rental income and expense recoveries we receive from our tenants under leases with us, including monthly rent and other property income pursuant to tenant leases. Tenant recovery income primarily consists of reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs, management fees and insurance costs.
Expenses
Our expenses consist of property operating expenses, real estate taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expenses. Property operating expenses primarily consist of repair and maintenance, management fees, utilities and insurance (in each case, some of which are recoverable from the tenant).
Key Indicators of Operating Performance
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management focuses on the following financial and non-financial indicators, discussed in further detail herein:
Cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP;
Economic and physical occupancy and rental rates;
Leasing activity and lease rollover;
Management of operating expenses;
Management of general and administrative expenses;
Debt maturities and leverage ratios;
Liquidity levels;
Funds From Operations (“FFO”), a supplemental non-GAAP measure; and
Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), a supplemental non-GAAP measure.
See “Selected Financial Data” for further discussion of the Company’s use, definitions and limitations of FFO and AFFO.     
Impact of COVID-19

The following discussion is intended to provide certain information regarding the impactsimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially changed from the information included in our Annual Report and other periodic or current reports on file with the SEC. The primary impact of the pandemic was and continues to be related to our tenants' ability to make their future rental payments in a timely fashion or at all. We have been working with our tenants to collect rental payments that are commensurate to our contractual rights under our lease agreements.

At this time, given the uncertainty related to variants of the virus, we are unable to predict whether cases of COVID-19 in our markets will decrease, increase, or remain the same, whether the approved COVID-19 vaccines will be effective against the virus and new variants of the virus, efficiently distributed in our markets and widely accepted by the public, and whether local governments will mandate closures of our tenants' businesses or implement other restrictive measures on their and our operations in the future in response to a resurgence of the pandemic. We have taken and will continue to consider a number of measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business and our efforts to respond to those impacts. The COVID-19 pandemic, the significant and wide-ranging responses of international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities in regions across the United States and the world to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the volatile economic, business and financial market conditions resulting therefrom, have negatively impacted our business, financial condition and results of operations and we anticipate that such factors will continue to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations for the remainder of 2021 and in future periods.condition.

Unless otherwise specified, the information set forth below regarding the Company’s portfolio and tenants is based on estimates and other data available to the Company as of June 30, 2021. As a result of the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, we expect that such information will change, potentially significantly,

going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations for future periods.
We have taken a number of proactive measures to manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and liquidity. We have adapted our operations to protect employees, including implementing a work-from-home policy and canceling non-essential corporate travel until further notice. We believe the remote-work technology we have provided to our workforce has enabled a smooth transition to working from home with minimal impact on our operations. The health and safety of our employees and their families remains a top priority for us. We also maintain frequent communication with our tenants and assist them in identifying state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic.

State Street Cash Trap

The loan documents governing the mortgage encumbering the State Street property include a “cash trap” provision that is triggered if DICK'S Sporting Goods, which iswas an anchor tenant at the State Street property, failsfailed to renew its lease agreement. During September 2020, we were informed that DICK'S Sporting Goods will not renew its lease at the State Street property. As a result, we received notice that the lender under the State Street mortgage exercised its right to trigger this “cash trap” provision, and, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, all of the revenue from the State Street property which would otherwise have been available for our use was trapped into a blocked account controlled by the lender until a substitute lease is approved. If, during that period, the terms of the loan agreement are not satisfied, those funds will be swept by the lender in mandatory prepayment of the mortgage. As of the date of this filing, a replacement tenant has not been identified.

Termination of Credit Agreement
On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Company “right-sized” the Credit Agreement by eliminating the Term Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) previously available under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under the Revolving Credit Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) to repay all of its obligations under the Term Loan. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the lender under the Credit Agreement waived the Company’s obligation to comply with certain financial covenants for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Waiver Period”) and restricted the Company from drawing on the Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20.0 million until the Company is in compliance with all such covenants. On January 21, 2021, the Company repaid $5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and on March 29, 2021, repaid in full all of the remaining outstanding indebtedness consisting of approximately $15.0 million of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Credit Agreement and related security interests, and all commitments thereunder, were terminated in conjunction with such payment in full.
Acquisition and Disposition Activity
There were no asset acquisitions during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company acquired one multi-family asset for a gross acquisition price of $7.4 million.

Table of Contents


The new lease requires a significant amount of landlord work, a tenant allowance and a broker commission. The total commitment is estimated to be approximately $3.9 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we estimate that remaining costs under this commitment are approximately $1.7 million.
In February 2021, the Company executed a lease with Veeco Instruments, Inc. for approximately 97,000 square feet at our Trimble office asset, replacing Alta, whose lease was terminated in early 2020. The lease requires a significant tenant allowance and broker commission. The total cost commitment is estimated to be approximately $9.2 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we estimate that remaining costs under this commitment are approximately $4.5$1.7 million.

An anchor tenant at the State Street property, DICK’S Sporting Goods, did not renew its lease agreement. Pursuant to the mortgage agreement, the lender under the State Street mortgage exercised its right under a “cash trap” provision, and, as such, beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, all of our revenuecash flow from the State Street property which would otherwise have been available for our use was trapped into a blocked account controlled by the lender until an approved lease is executed. See also Note 7 (Debt) in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
We may, from time to time, repurchase our outstanding equity and/or debt securities, if any, through cash purchases or other transactions. Such repurchases or transactions, if any, will depend on our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our mortgage debt was recourse to the Company, although we have provided certain customary, non-recourse carve-out guarantees in connection with obtaining mortgage loans on certain of our properties.
Our ability to pay off our mortgages when they become due is, in part, dependent upon our ability either to refinance the related mortgage debt or to sell the related asset. With respect to each mortgage loan, if the applicable property-owning subsidiary is unable to refinance or sell the related asset, or in the event that the estimated asset value is less than the mortgage balance, the applicable property-owning subsidiary may, if appropriate, satisfy a mortgage obligation by transferring title of the asset to the lender or permitting a lender to foreclose.
Volatility in the capital markets could expose us to the risk of not being able to borrow on terms and conditions acceptable to us for refinancing.
The Company assumed a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $11.1 million, net of a debt discount of $0.3 million in connection with the acquisition of The Detroit and Detroit Terraces on January 8, 2019.

According to the terms of the note agreement, the contractual fixed interest rate is 3.99% and payments are interest-only through September 30, 2022. The maturity date of the mortgage loan is on August 31, 2027.

previously available under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution of the Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under the Revolving Credit Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) to repay all of its obligations under the Term Loan. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the lender under the Credit Agreement waived the Company’s obligation to comply with certain financial covenants for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Waiver Period”) and restricted the Company from drawing on the Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20.0 million until the Company is in compliance with all such covenants. On January 21, 2021, the Company repaid $5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan and on March 29, 2021, repaid in full all of the remaining outstanding indebtedness consisting of approximately $15.0 million of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Credit Agreement and related security interests, and all commitments thereunder, were terminated in conjunction with such payment in full.
The Company obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $18.8 million in connection with the acquisition of The Locale on August 16, 2019. We entered into a swap agreement with respect to the loan, effective through August 31, 2023, to swap the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 3.27% per annum. The interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable spread. The effective interest rate as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, is approximately 1.84%.
Total debt outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $63.4$63.1 million and $83.9 million, respectively, and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.19% and 3.78%, respectively, per annum.

Cash used in operating activities was $0.7$0.1 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Cash used in operating activities decreased $1.7$2.3 million compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher cash collections from tenants as a result of fewer pandemic-related concessions and a decrease in cash paid for interest and general and administrative expenses during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021 compared to the same period last year.
Cash used in investing activities was $5.6$8.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, compared to $7.3$8.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Cash used in investing activities decreased $1.7$0.5 million compared to the same period in 2020 primarily as a result of the acquisition of a multi-family asset partially offset by proceeds received from the disposition of the bank branch asset during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Additional factors include an increase in cash used for capital expenditures during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, primarily related to new leases.

(b)    The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has promulgated a non-GAAP financial measure known as Funds From Operations, or FFO. As defined by NAREIT, FFO is net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP excluding gains (or losses) resulting from dispositions of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and impairment charges on depreciable property. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our calculation of FFO as management considers FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for REITs. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
    Since the definition of FFO was promulgated by NAREIT, management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we also use Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO as a measure of our operating performance. We define AFFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, to exclude from FFO adjustments for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of debt instruments as these items are

not related to our continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that AFFO provides supplemental

information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other public, non-traded REITs. AFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
    In calculating FFO and AFFO, impairment charges of depreciable real estate assets are added back even though the impairment charge may represent a permanent decline in value due to decreased operating performance of the applicable property. Further, because gains and losses from sales of property are excluded from FFO and AFFO, it is consistent and appropriate that impairments, which are often early recognition of losses on prospective sales of property, also be excluded.
    We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful measures of our properties’ operating performance because they exclude noncash items from GAAP net income. Neither FFO nor AFFO is intended to be an alternative to “net income” nor to “cash flows from operating activities” as determined by GAAP as a measure of our capacity to pay distributions. Other REITs may use alternative methodologies for calculating similarly titled measures, which may not be comparable to our calculation of FFO and AFFO. The following section presents our calculation of FFO and AFFO to net income (in thousands):

Use and Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, operating profit, cash flows from operations or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Although we present and use FFO and AFFO because we believe they are useful to investors in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of our operating performance between periods and between REITs that report similar measures, the use of this non-GAAP measure has certain limitations as an analytical tool. This non-GAAP financial measure is not a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund capital expenditures, contractual commitments, working capital, service debt or make cash distributions. This measurement does not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that we have incurred and will incur. This non-GAAP financial measure may include funds that may not be available for management’s discretionary use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures, property acquisitions and other commitments and uncertainties. This non-GAAP financial measure, as presented, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures as calculated by other real estate companies.
We compensate for these limitations by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of our operating performance. Our reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, and our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows, include interest expense, capital expenditures and other excluded items, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance, as well as the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure. This non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are subject to market risk associated with changes in interest rates both in terms of variable-rate debt and the price of new fixed-rate debt upon maturity of existing debt and for acquisitions.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, our debt included a variable-rate mortgage loan of $18.1$18.0 million, which has been swapped to a fixed rate.
With regard to our variable-rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both outstanding or forecasted debt obligations.
We may use financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans. To the extent we do, we are exposed to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates a credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, it does not pose credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with what we believe are high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument resulting from a change in interest rates.
In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for certain of our debt instruments, including interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR, will be based on a replacement rate or an alternate base rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the replacement rate or alternate base rate could be higher or more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. We understand that LIBOR is expected to remain available through the end of 2021, but may be discontinued or otherwise become unavailable thereafter.
Our interest rate swaps are indexed to USD-LIBOR. However, the interest rate swap agreement has provisions that allow for a transition to a new alternative rate, we believe that the transition from USD-LIBOR to the alternative rate will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2021, we had one derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge, with a notional amount of $18.8 million and a maturity date of September 1, 2023. The fair value of the derivative was $0.5$0.4 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2021 and is included in other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The gains or losses resulting from marking-to-market our derivative financial instruments during the periods presented are recognized as an increase or decrease in comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
