The Lightstone REIT I is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT,real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, and substantially all of the Company’s current and future business is and will be conducted through Lightstone Value Plus REIT, L.P.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Lightstone REIT I and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and if deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling interest but have significant influence, the Company accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

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

The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate and real-estate related investments, marketable securities, notes receivable, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

However, the COVID-19 pandemicit remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, andincluding booster shots. Accordingly, the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, theongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economyand global economies for the foreseeable future.

See “St. Augustine Outlet Center and as a result determined during the third quarter of 2021 that it would no longer pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, entered into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to its other tenants that it would not renew their leases at scheduled expiration. As a result of this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St. Augustine Outlet Center, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021. Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated during the first quarter of 2022.Center” for additional information.

The overall extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If the Company’s operating properties, development projects and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted for an extended period because (i) occupancy levels and rental rates decline, (ii) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (iii) borrowers are unable to pay scheduled debt service on notes receivable, (iv) development activities are delayed and/or (v) various related party entities are unable to pay monthly preferred distributions on the Company’s preferred investments in related parties, the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

St. Augustine Outlet Center

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupancy of the Company’s St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail property containing 0.3 million of gross leasable area, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, the Company began exploring various strategic alternatives for the property. As a result, during the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that it would no longer continue to pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, entered into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to its other tenants that it would not renew their leases at the scheduled expiration. Due to this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St. Augustine Outlet Center, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021.

Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated the property during the first quarter of 2022 and on June 29, 2022, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the property’s final tenant providing for it to vacate the property no later than July 15, 2022 in return for a $750 payment from the Company (included in property operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations during the second quarter of 2022), of which $675 was paid in June 2022 and the balance of $75 (included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022) was subsequently paid in July 2022.

The Company ceased operations of the St. Augustine Outlet Center effective July 15, 2022 and shortly thereafter commenced demolition of the existing building and improvements in order to prepare the property’s land parcels for sale and/or lease. As of June 30, 2022, there was no impairment related to the St. Augustine Outlet Center. However, the Company expects to incur a non-cash charge of $16.7 million to write-off the carrying value of the building and improvements in the third quarter of 2022.

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally provide for monthly interest at a prescribed variable rate, subject to a floor. In connection with the initial funding of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes, the NR Joint Ventures receive origination fees (ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%) based on the principal commitment under the loan and retain a portion of the loan proceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items (the “Loan Reserves”). The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are recorded in notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally have an initial term of one or two years and may provide for additional extension options subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the funding of additional Loan Reserves and payment of extension fees. The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are collateralized by either the membership interests of the Joint Venture Borrowers in the borrowing entity or the underlying real property being developed by the Joint Venture Borrower.

Origination fees are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are amortized into interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes. The Loan Reserves are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are amortized into interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes. The Loan Reserves are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are applied against the monthly interest duedue over the term.

During threethe six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 both the NR Subsidiaries and the NR Affiliates made aggregate contributions to the NR Joint Ventures of $21.9 million, principally to fund their respective shares of the Joint Venture Promissory Note that was originated. During three months ended March 31, 2021, both the NR Subsidiaries and the NR Affiliates made aggregate contributions to the NR Joint Ventures of $21.9 million and $40, principally to fund their respective shares of the NR Joint Ventures’ operating expenses.respectively. Additionally, during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, the NR Joint Ventures made aggregate distributions of $15.4 million to both the NR Subsidiaries and NR Affiliates based on their respective membership interests and during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the NR Joint Ventures made aggregate distributions of $0.215.0 million to both the NR Subsidiaries and NR Affiliates,$7.9 million, respectively, based on their respective membership interests.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


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

As of both March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held an aggregate of 209,243 Marco OP Units and Marco II OP Units, of which 89,695 were owned by PRO. The Marco OP Units and the Marco II OP Units are both exchangeable for a similar number of common operating partnership units (“Simon OP Units”) of Simon Property Group, L.P., (“Simon OP”), the operating partnership of Simon Property Group, Inc. (“Simon Inc.”), a public REIT that is an owner and operator of shopping malls and outlet centers. Subject to the various conditions, the Company may elect to exchange the Marco OP Units and/or the Marco II OP Units to Simon OP Units which must be immediately delivered to Simon Inc. in exchange for cash or similar number of shares of Simon Inc.’s common stock (“Simon Stock”). Accordingly, the Marco OP Units and Marco II OP Units are valued based on the closing price of Simon Stock, which was $131.5694.92 per share and $113.77 per share as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, the closing price of Simon Stock was $159.77 per share as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.2021, respectively.

Financial markets have been experiencing significant volatility resulting in swings in market interest rates and market prices of certain equity securities. Primarily because of this volatility, particularly due to the above noted changes in the closing prices of Simon Stock, the Company incurred an unrealized losses of $9.09.8 million and $18.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, and unrealized gains of $9.05.1 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.June 30, 2021, respectively. These unrealized gains and losses incurred on the Company’s marketable equity securities are included in its consolidated statements of operations.

Additionally, as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, certain of the Company’s marketable debt securities had grossnet unrealized losses of $75163 and $28., respectively. However, the Company does not consider these declines in market value to be other than temporary in nature. When evaluating the debt investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges. As of both March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company may sell certain of its investments prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes, in anticipation of credit deterioration, or for duration management.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company has entered into two interest rate cap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations or risk of certain real estate investment’s interest expense on its variable rate debt. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal.

The Company is accounting for the interest rate cap contracts as economic hedges, marking these contracts to market, taking into account present interest rates compared to the contracted fixed rate over the life of the contract and recording the unrealized gain or loss on the interest rate cap contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $0.90.4 million and $1.2 million, which is included in other income/(expense), net in the consolidated statement of operations, representing the change in the fair value of these economic hedges during such period.periods.

The two interest rate cap contracts have an aggregate notional amountamounts of $90.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, and effectively cap LIBORthe London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) at 3.00% and 2.50%, respectively. Both interest rate cap contracts mature on June 3, 2024. The aggregate fair value of the interest rate cap contracts was $1.21.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and is included in prepaid expenses, restricted cash and other assets.assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

The fair values of the Company’s common equity securities are measured using readily quoted prices for these investments which are listed for trade on active markets. The fair values of the Company’s preferred equity securities and corporate bonds are measured using readily available quoted prices for these securities; however, the markets for these securities are not active. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts are measured using other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Additionally, as noted and disclosed above, the Company’s Marco OP and OP II units are both ultimately exchangeable for cash or similar number of shares of Simon Stock, therefore the Company uses the quoted market price of Simon Stock to measure the fair value of the Company’s Marco OP and OP II units.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

TheOn March 20, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemicit remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, andincluding booster shots. Accordingly, the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, theongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economyand global economies for the foreseeable future.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupancy of our St. Augustine Outlet Center. LocatedCenter, which is located in St. Augustine, Florida, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, we began exploring various strategic alternatives for the St. Augustine Outlet Center and as a result determined during the third quarter of 2021 that we would no longer pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, entered into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to our other tenants that we would not renew their leases at scheduled expiration. As a result of this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St.Center. See “St. Augustine Outlet Center, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021. Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated during the first quarter of 2022.Center”.

 

Additionally, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during 2020 we saw deterioration in both the occupancy and rental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the greater New York City metropolitan area was negatively impacted.impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, both occupancy and rental rates consistently improved considerably throughout 2021 and have returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Thereafter, occupancy has continued to remain stable and the property has experienced strong growth in its rental rates thus far in 2022.

 

To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on our development projects.projects, and our Lower East Side Moxy Hotel development project is currently expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2022. Furthermore, our other real estate-related investments (both our preferred investments in related parties and nonrecourse loans made to unaffiliated third-party borrowers) also relate to various development projects which are at different stages in their respective development process. These investments, which are subject to similar restrictions and other measures,risks, have also not yet been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The overall extent to which our business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

 

If our operating properties, development projects and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted for an extended period because (i) occupancy levels and rental rates further decline, (ii) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (iii) borrowers are unable to pay scheduled debt service on notes receivable, (iv) development activities are delayed and/or (v) various related party entities are unable to pay monthly preferred distributions on our preferred investments in related parties, our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

 

We are not currently aware of any other material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from our operations, other than those referred to above or throughout this Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period.

The St. Augustine Outlet Centerwhich was originally built in 1998 and subsequently acquired by us in 2006 and renovated and further expanded in 2008.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the property’s occupancy of our St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail property containing 0.3 million of gross leasable area, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, we began exploring various strategic alternatives for our St. Augustine Outlet Center and asthe property. As a result, determined during the third quarter of 2021, we determined that we would no longer continue to pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, entered into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to our other tenants that we would not renew their leases at the scheduled expiration. Due to this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St. Augustine Outlet Center, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021.

25

Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated the property during the first quarter of 2022 and on June 29, 2022, we entered into a lease termination agreement with the property’s final tenant providing for it to vacate the property no later than July 15, 2022 in return for a $750 payment from us (included in property operating expenses on the consolidated statement of operations during the second quarter of 2022), of which $675 was paid in June 2022 and the balance of $75 (included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022) was subsequently paid in July 2022.

We ceased operations of the St. Augustine Outlet Center effective July 15, 2022 and shortly thereafter commenced demolition of the existing building and improvements in order to prepare the property’s land parcels for sale and/or lease. As of June 30, 2022, there was no impairment related to the St. Augustine Outlet Center. However, we expect to incur a non-cash charge of $16.7 million to write-off the carrying value of the building and improvements in the third quarter of 2022.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview:

 

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, we had $30.5$17.2 million of cash on hand, $0.9$2.6 million of restricted cash and $50.1$48.8 million of marketable securities. Additionally, in July 2022 we subsequently received $14.3 million, representing our 50% share of $28.6 million of funds held by a related party as of June 30, 2022. We also have the ability to make draws from a line of credit up to a maximum of $20.0 million ($10.9 million was available as of June 30, 2022), subject to certain conditions (see “Notes Payable – Line of Credit”). We currently believe that these items along with rental income from our operating properties;property; interest and dividend income earned on our marketable securities, notes receivable and preferred investments; as well as proceeds received from the repayment of the notes receivable and redemptions of the preferred investments will be sufficient to satisfy our expected cash requirements primarily consisting our anticipated operating expenses, scheduled debt service, capital expenditures (including certain of our development activities) and distributions to our shareholders, if any, required to maintain our status as a REIT for the foreseeable future. However, we may also obtain additional funds through selective asset dispositions, joint venture arrangements, new borrowings and refinancing of existing debt.

 

We currently have two development projects (see “Development Activities”). With respect to our Lower East Side Moxy Hotel, which is currently under construction and expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2022, we have obtained construction financings and the remaining development, construction and certain pre-opening costs associated with the construction of the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel are expected to be funded from the remaining availability under such construction financings. See “Development Activities - Lower East Side Moxy Hotel” for additional information. Our Exterior Street Project is currently under development and we expect to seek construction financing to fund a substantial portion of its future development and construction costs. See “Development Activities – Exterior Street Project” for additional information.

23

 

Our borrowings consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties. We typically have obtained level payment financing, meaning that the amount of debt service payable would be substantially the same each year. As such, most of the mortgages on our properties provide for a so-called “balloon” payment and are at a fixed interest rate.

 

Additionally, in order to leverage our investments in marketable securities and seek a higher rate of return, we have access to borrowings under a margin loan and line of credit collateralized by the securities held with the financial institution that has provided the margin loan. This loan and line of credit as well as a portion of our Marco OP Units. These loans areis due on demand and any outstanding balance must be paid upon the liquidation of securities.

 

Our charter provides that the aggregate amount of borrowing, both secured and unsecured, may not exceed 300% of net assets in the absence of a satisfactory showing that a higher level is appropriate, the approval of the Board of Directors and disclosure to stockholders. Net assets means our total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less our total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% of net assets level must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report to stockholders, along with justification for such excess. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, our total borrowings of $183.7$229.0 million represented 59%78% of net assets.

 

Any future properties that we may acquire or investments we may make may be funded through a combination of borrowings, proceeds generated from the sale and redemption of our marketable securities, available for sale, proceeds received from the selective disposition of our properties and proceeds received from the redemption of our preferred investments in related parties. These borrowings may consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties. Such mortgages may be put in place either at the time we acquire a property or subsequent to our purchasing a property for cash. In addition, we may acquire properties that are subject to existing indebtedness where we choose to assume the existing mortgages. Generally, though not exclusively, we intend to seek to encumber our properties with debt, which will be on a non-recourse basis. This means that a lender’s rights on default will generally be limited to foreclosing on the property. However, we may, at our discretion, secure recourse financing or provide a guarantee to lenders if we believe this may result in more favorable terms. When we give a guaranty for a property owning entity, we will be responsible to the lender for the satisfaction of the indebtedness if it is not paid by the property owning entity.

 

We may also obtain lines of credit to be used to acquire properties or real estate-related assets. These lines of credit will be at prevailing market terms and will be repaid from proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties, working capital or permanent financing. Our Sponsor or its affiliates may guarantee the lines of credit although they will not be obligated to do so. We expect that such properties may be purchased by our Sponsor’s affiliates on our behalf, in our name, in order to minimize the imposition of a transfer tax upon a transfer of such properties to us.

 

We have various agreements, including an advisory agreement, with the Advisor to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by the Advisor and/or its affiliated entities. Additionally, our ability to secure financing and our real estate operations are dependent upon our Advisor and its affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements.

 

30

In addition to meeting working capital needs and distributions, if any, to our stockholders, our capital resources are used to make certain payments to our Advisor and our Property Manager,its affiliates, including payments related to asset acquisition fees and the reimbursement of acquisition-related costs, development fees and cost reimbursement, property management and leasing commissions, and asset management fees, the reimbursement of acquisition related expenses to our Advisor and property management fees.fee. We also reimburse our Advisor and its affiliates for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided to us. Additionally, the Operating Partnership may be required to make distributions to Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor.

 

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and our independent directors.

Additionally, we may be required to make distributions on the special general partner interests (“SLP Units”) in the Operating Partnership held by Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor. In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, Lightstone SLP, LLC purchased an aggregate of $30.0 million of SLP Units. These SLP Units, the purchase price of which will be repaid only after stockholders receive a stated preferred return and their net investment, entitle Lightstone SLP, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership.

 

During both the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021, distributions of $0.5 million and $1.0 million were declared and paid on the SLP units.

Development Activities

 

Lower East Side Moxy Hotel

 

On December 3, 2018, we, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired three adjacent parcels of land located at 147-151 Bowery in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan in New York New YorkCity from unaffiliated third parties for aggregate consideration of $56.5 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. Additionally, on December 6, 2018, we, though a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired certain air rights located at 329 Broome Street in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan in New York New YorkCity from an unaffiliated third party for $2.4 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. We are using the land and air rights in connection with the development and construction of a 296-room Marriott Moxy hotel (the “Lower East Side Moxy Hotel”). On June 3, 2021, the Companywe entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with an affiliate of the Advisor (the “Moxy Lower East Side Developer”) pursuant to which the Lower East Side Moxy Developer is being paid a development fee equal to 3% of hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the development and construction of the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. The advisor and its affiliates are also reimbursed for certain development-related costs attributable to the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. Additionally on June 3, 2021, the Companywe obtained construction financing for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. The Lower East Side Moxy Hotel is currently under construction and expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Previously on December 3, 2018, we had entered into a mortgage loan which was collateralized by the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel (the “Lower East Side Moxy Mortgage”) for $35.6 million. The Lower East Side Moxy Mortgage had an initial term of two years, bore interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) + 4.25%, subject to a 6.63% floor, and required monthly interest-only payments through its stated maturity with the entire unpaid balance due upon maturity. In November 2020 the maturity date of Lower East Side Moxy Mortgage was extended to March 3, 2021 and in March 2021 it was further extended until June 3, 2021, on which date it was then repaid in full as discussed below.32

 

On June 3, 2021, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a recourse construction loan facility (the “Moxy Senior Loan”) providing for up to $90.0 million of funds for the development, construction and construction ofcertain pre-opening costs associated with the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. At closing, $35.6 million of proceeds were initially advanced under the Moxy Senior Loan, which were used to repay in full the Lower East Side Moxy Mortgage.a then outstanding mortgage loan. The Moxy Senior Loan bears interest at LIBOR + 7.50%, subject to an 8.00% floor, and initially matures on June 3, 2024, with two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Moxy Senior Loan is collateralized by the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel.

We provided a principal guarantee of up to $7.0 million with respect to the Moxy Junior Loan. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of the Moxy Junior Loan was $36.9$40.0 million as it was fully drawn and the remaining availability under the facilityinterest rate was up to $3.1 million.15.29%.

Future draws to cover the costs associated with the development and construction of the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel will first be advanced under the Moxy Junior Loan until it has been fully funded and thereafter, funds will be advanced under the remaining availability of the Moxy Senior Loan.

26

 

In connection with the Moxy Construction Loans, we provided certain completion and carry cost guarantees. We also entered into two interest rate cap agreements with notional amounts of $90.0 million and $40.0 million pursuant to which the LIBOR rate will berates are capped at 3.00% on the Moxy Senior Loan (up to $90 million) through June 3, 2024 and 2.5% the Moxy Junior Loan (up to $40 million), respectively, through June 3, 2024. Furthermore, in connection with the Moxy Construction Loans, we paid $5.3 million of loan fees and expenses and accrued $1.1 million of loan exit fees which are due at the initial maturity date and are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

Exterior Street Project

 

On February 27, 2019, we, through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, acquired two adjacent parcels of land located at 355 and 399 Exterior Street in the Bronx neighborhood of New York New YorkCity from unaffiliated third parties for an aggregate purchase price of $59.0 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. In September 2021, we subsequently acquired an additional adjacent parcel of land at cost from an affiliate of our Advisor for $1.0 million in order to achieve certain zoning compliance. We are using the land parcels for the development of a multi-family residential property (the “Exterior Street Project”).

 

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a $35.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Loan”) which commencing on October 10, 2020 bears interest at LIBOR + 2.25% (4.04% as of June 30, 2022) through its scheduled maturity date. The Exterior Street Loan requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balance due in full at its maturity date. The Exterior Street Loan was initially scheduled to mature on April 9, 2021 but during April 2021, its maturity date was further extended to April 9, 2022. Additionally, on December 21, 2021, the loan agreement was amended to provide an additional six-month extension and an additional $7.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Supplemental Loan” and collectively with the Exterior Street Loan, the “Exterior Street Loans”) which bears interest at LIBOR + 2.50% (4.29% as of June 30, 2022) and requires monthly interest-only payments through its maturity date. During April of 2022, we exercised the additional six-month extension and the Exterior Street Loans are currently scheduled to mature on October 9, 2022 and are collateralized by the Exterior Street Project.

 

The following is a summary of the total amounts incurred and capitalized to development projects on the consolidated balance sheet for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel and the Exterior Street Project as of March 31,June 30, 2022:

 

Development Project       
Lower East Side Moxy Hotel $163,553  $180,355 
Exterior Street Project  88,674   90,071 
Total $252,227  $270,426

To-date the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as other economic conditions and uncertainties have not had a significant impact on our development activities associated with either the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel or the Exterior Street Project. As discussed above, we have already obtained construction financing for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel and it is currently under construction and expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2022. However, with respect to our Exterior Street Project which is currently under development, we currently expect to seek construction financing to fund a substantial portion of its future development and construction costs. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as other economic conditions and uncertainties may (i) affect our ability to obtain construction financing, and/or (ii) cause delays or increase costs associated with building materials or construction services necessary for construction, which could adversely impact our ability to either ultimately commence and/or complete construction as planned, on budget or at all for the Exterior Street Project.

 

Although we currently believe our capital resources are sufficient to fund our expected development activities for the next 12 months, there can be no assurance we will be successful in obtaining construction financing at favorable terms, if at all.

 

Preferred Investments

We have Preferred Investments that entitle us to monthly preferred distributions.distributions at an annual rate of 12%. The Preferred Investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities, recorded at cost and included in investments in related parties on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of these investments approximated their carrying values based on market rates for similar instruments. During the second quarter of 2022, we redeemed $4.0 million of our East 11th Street Preferred Investment.

Notes Receivable

We have formed certain joint ventures (collectively, the “NR Joint Ventures”) between wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “NR Subsidiaries”) and affiliates of the Sponsor (the “NR Affiliates”) which have originated nonrecourse loans (collectively, the “Joint Venture Promissory Notes”) to unaffiliated third-party borrowers (collectively, the “Joint Venture Borrowers”).

 

The N/R Subsidiaries and NR Affiliates may have varying ownership interests in the N/R Joint Ventures, however; certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership serve as the manager and the sole decision-maker for each of the N/R Joint Ventures. We have determined that the NR Joint Ventures are VIEs and the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Since the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries, beginning on the applicable date of formation, we consolidated the operating results and financial condition of the NR Joint Ventures and accounted for the respective ownership interests of the NR Affiliates as noncontrolling interests.

34

 

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally provide for monthly interest at a prescribed variable rate, subject to a floor. In connection with the initial funding of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes, the NR Joint Ventures receive origination fees (ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%) based on the principal commitment under the loan and retain a portion of the loan proceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items (the “Loan Reserves”). The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are recorded in notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally have an initial term of one or two years and may provide for additional one-year extension options subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the funding of additional Loan Reserves and payment of extension fees. The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are collateralized by either the membership interests of the Joint Venture Borrowers in the borrowing entity or the underlying real property being developed by the Joint Venture Borrower.

 

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are recorded in notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The origination fees received are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are amortized into interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes. The Loan Reserves are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are applied against the monthly interest due over the initial term.

LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan

On June 30, 2022, LSC 1543 7th LLC entered into a $31.3 million loan (the “LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan”) which bears interest at SOFR + 3.50% (5.19% as of June 30, 2022). The LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan is initially scheduled to mature on December 30, 2023, but may be further extended through December 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025, through the exercise of two extension options. The LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balance due at its maturity date and is collateralized by a nonrecourse loan originated by LSC 1543 7th LLC (the “LSC 1543 7th LLC Note Receivable”). See Note 5. On June 30, 2022, $28.6 million of the net proceeds from the LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan were temporarily funded to an affiliate of our advisor and were subsequently transferred to us and then distributed to the members of LSC 1543 7th LLC in July 2022, of which our 50% share was $14.3 million. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Distribution Reinvestment Program (“DRIP”)

 

Our distribution reinvestment program (“DRIP”) provides our shareholders with an opportunity to purchase additional shares of our common stock at a discount by reinvesting distributions. Under our distribution reinvestment program, a shareholder may acquire, from time to time, additional shares of our common stock by reinvesting cash distributions payable by us to such shareholder, without incurring any brokerage commission, fees or service charges.

 

The DRIP had been suspended since 2015 until our DRIP Registration Statement on Form S-3D was filed and became effective as amended and restated, under the Securities Act of 1933 on October 25, 2018.

 

Pursuant to the DRIP following its reactivation, our stockholders who elect to participate may invest all or a portion of the cash distributions that we pay them on shares of our common stock in additional shares of our common stock without paying any fees or commissions. The purchase price for shares under the DRIP will be equal to 95% of our current estimated net asset value per share (“NAV per Share”), as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by us from time to time. On December 16, 2021, the Board of Directors determined our NAV per Share of $11.75, as of September 30, 2021, which resulted in a purchase price for shares under the DRIP of $11.16 per share. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, 9.9 million shares remain available for issuance under our DRIP. 

 

The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the DRIP for any reason without cause by providing written notice of termination of the DRIP to all participants.

Share Repurchase Program

 

Our share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide our stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to restrictions.

 

On March 25, 2020, the Board of Directors amended the SRP to remove stockholder notice requirements and also approved the suspension of all redemptions effective immediately.

 

Effective March 15, 2021 and May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors partially reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions as set forth below, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death and hardship, respectively, and set the price for all such purchases to our current NAV per Share, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by the Companyus from time to time. Deaths that occurred subsequent to January 1, 2020 were eligible for consideration, subject to certain conditions. Beginning January 1, 2022, requests for redemptions in connection with a stockholder’s death must be submitted and received by us within one year of the stockholder’s date of death for consideration.

 

At the above noted dates, the Board of Directors established that on an annual basis, we would not redeem in excess of 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year for either death or hardship redemptions, respectively. Additionally, redemption requests generally would be processed on a quarterly basis and would be subject to pro ration if either type of redemption requests exceeded the annual limitation.

 

On March 18, 2022, The Board of Directors approved an increase to the annual threshold for death redemptions from up to 0.5% to 1.0%.

 

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 we repurchased 79,021273,135 shares of common stock, pursuant to our SRP at an average price per share of $11.75 per share.

Contractual Obligations

 

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations outstanding over the next five years and thereafter as of March 31,June 30, 2022.

1)These amounts represent future interest payments related to mortgage payable obligations based on the fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated debt agreement. All variable rate debt agreements are based on the one-month LIBOR rate.rate or SOFR rate, as applicable. For purposes of calculating future interest amounts on variable interest rate debt the one-month LIBOR rateand SOFR rates as of March 31,June 30, 2022 waswere used.

 

Notes Payable

Margin Loan

 

We have access to a margin loan (the “Margin Loan”) from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of our marketable securities. The Margin Loan, which is due on demand, bears interest at LIBOR + 0.85% (1.30%(2.64% as of March 31,June 30, 2022) and is collateralized by the marketable securities in our account. The amounts available to us under the Margin Loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in our account. There were no amounts outstanding under the Margin Loan as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

 

37

Line of Credit

 

We have a non-revolving credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) with a financial institution that provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $20.0 million, subject to a 55% loan-to-value ratio based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, matures on November 30, 2022 and bears interest at LIBOR + 1.35% (1.80%(3.14% as of March 31,June 30, 2022). The Line of Credit is collateralized by an aggregate of 209,243 of Marco OP Units and Marco II OP Units and was guaranteed by PRO. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the amount of borrowings available to be drawn under the Line of Credit was $15.1$10.9 million. No amounts were outstanding under the Line of Credit as of both March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

LIBOR

The Moxy Construction Loans, Exterior Street Loans, Margin Loan and Line of Credit are indexed to LIBOR. In late 2021, it was announced LIBOR interest rates will cease publication altogether by June 30, 2023. We have and intend continue to incorporate relatively standardized replacement rate provisions into our LIBOR-indexed debt documents, including a spread adjustment mechanism designed to equate to the current LIBOR “all in” rate. There is significant uncertainty with respect to the implementation of the phase out and what alternative indexes will be adopted which will ultimately be determined by the market as a whole. It therefore remains uncertain how such changes will be implemented and the effects such changes would have on us and the financial markets generally.

Debt Maturities

 

The Exterior Street Loans (outstanding principal balance of $42.0 million as of March 31,June 30, 2022) mature on October 9, 2022. We currently intend to extend or refinance the Exterior Street Loans on or before their maturity date. 

 

However, if we are unable to extend or refinance any of our maturing indebtedness at favorable terms, we will look to repay the then outstanding balance with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales. We have no additional significant maturities of mortgage debt over the next 12 months.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

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

 

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

 

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.

 

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

 

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

 

38

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

 

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

 

31

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

 

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

 

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

Notes:Notes:

(1)The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as applicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

(2)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(3)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable equity securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
(4)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.
(5)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

 

The table below presents our cumulative distributions paid and cumulative FFO attributable to the Company’s common shares:

 

 From inception through 
 March 31,
2022
  From inception through 
    June 30,
2022
 
FFO attributable to Company’s common shares $262,067  $253,809 
Distributions paid $267,193  $271,066 

On AprilJuly 15, 2022, the distribution for the three-month period ending March 31,June 30, 2022 of $3.9 million was paid in full using a combination of cash and approximately 7,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s DRIP, at a discounted price of $11.16 per share, equal to 95% of the Company’s most current estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $11.75 as of September 30, 2021.

 

The amount of distributions paid to our stockholders in the future will be determined by our Board and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no material weaknesses identified in the evaluation, and therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
