Explanatory Note
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references to (i) “us”, “we”, “BRT” or the “Company” refer to BRT Apartments Corp. and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries; (ii) all interest rates give effect to the related interest rate derivative, if any; (iii) "acquisitions" include investments in and by unconsolidated joint ventures; (iv) units under rehabilitation for which we have received or accrued rental income from business interruption insurance, while not physically occupied, are treated as leased (i.e., occupied) at rental rates in effect at the time of the casualty, and (v) "same store properties" refer to properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties that are under construction, in lease-up, or are undergoing development or redevelopment. We move properties previously excluded from our same store portfolio (because they were under construction, in lease up or are in development or redevelopment) into the same store designation once they have stabilized (as described below) and such status has been reflected fully in all quarters during the applicable periods of comparison. Newly constructed, lease-up, development and redevelopment properties are deemed stabilized upon the earlier to occur of the first full calendar quarter beginning (a) 12 months after the property is fully completed and put in service and (b) attainment of at least 90% physical occupancy.
See "Explanatory Note", "Risk Factors", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Recent Developments - Non Reliance on Previously Reported Information" and Notes 2 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Annual Report") for information regarding the restatement (the "Restatement") of prior period financial statements and a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SeptemberJune 30, 20202021
Note 1 – Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns and operates multi-family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Generally, the multi-family properties are acquired with joint venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company: (a) wholly owns 87 multi-family properties located in 6 states with an aggregate of 1,8801,608 units, and a carrying value of $154,987,000;$134,458,000; and (b) has interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 3130 multi-family properties located in 9 states with an aggregate of 9,1628,954 units (including 741 units at 2 properties currently in lease-up) and the carrying value of this net equity investment is $175,409,000.$159,799,000. BRT's equity interests in these unconsolidated entities range from 32% to 90%. Most of the Company's properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $6,682,000.$6,593,000.
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2019,2020, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, these unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 15, 2020, for complete financial statements..
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers New York, was determined not to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs.variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York, was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesGAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in 1 reportable segment.

The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accountaccounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, concession agreements have been executed with the Company’s two tenants. In accordance with the FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and 840 - Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic, a lessor may make an accounting policy election to (i) not evaluate whether such COVID-19 pandemic related rent-relief is a lease modification under ASC 842 and (ii) treat each tenant rent deferral or forgiveness as if it were contemplated as part of the existing lease contract. The Company elected to apply this accounting policy to the 2 lease agreements, based on the type of concession provided to the tenant, where the revised cash flows are substantially the same or
less than the original lease agreement. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued total abatements of $75,000 for the 2tenants.

Note 1211 – Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Junior subordinated notes: At SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $10,542,000$8,539,000 and $9,589,000,$8,670,000, respectively, based on a market interest rate of 4.74%4.13% and 6.41%4.22%, respectively.
Mortgages payable: At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is greater than their carrying value by approximately $5,258,000,$1,322,000, assuming market interest rates between 2.69%3.38% and 3.04% and at3.80%. At December 31, 2019,2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was lowergreater than their carrying value by approximately $321,000,$3,831,000, assuming market interest rates between 3.89%2.87% and 4.33%3.28%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities. At SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019, these derivatives are2020, this derivative is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 1312 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objective 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 primarily uses 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 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.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

Note 1413 – New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, lease, derivatives and other contracts. This guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply 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.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedging Purposes. The amendments in this update permit the OIS rate based on SOFR as an eligible benchmark interest rate. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update provides specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods
and services from nonemployees and specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) establishing ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is focused on the ownership, and operation of multi-family properties. These properties derive revenue from tenant rental payments. Generally, these properties are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which we contributed 32% to 90% of the equity. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, we: (i) wholly own eightseven multi-family properties located in six states with an aggregate of 1,8801,608 units and a carrying value of $155.1$134.5 million; and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 3130 multi-family properties located in nine states with 9,1628,954 units (including 741 units at two properties in lease-up) - the carrying value of our net equity investment therein is $175.5$159.8 million. Most of our properties are located in the southeast United States and Texas.

Set forth below is an explanation of the most significant changes in the components of the equity in (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures. Same store properties at Unconsolidated Properties represent 29 properties that have been owned for the entirety of the periods being compared and excludes two properties, one which was in lease up during the prior period and one that was sold in the current period.
Rental and other revenues from unconsolidated joint ventures
The increase is due primarily to:
•$1.7 million from unconsolidated same store properties, including $659,000 due to the increase in variable ancillary fees (e.g., late fees, waiver fees and tech/cable package), $645,000 from increased occupancy and $418,000 from an increase in rental rates, and
•$275,000 from two properties (i.e., Bells Bluff and Sola Station) that were in lease up in the corresponding period in the prior year.
Offsetting this increase is a $467,000 decrease due to the Anatole Sale.
Real estate operating expenses from unconsolidated joint ventures
The increase is due to $782,000 from same store properties, due primarily to an increase in utilities (primarily water/sewer charges), and to a lesser extent, increases in appliance replacements, advertising, leasing, and insurance costs.
Offsetting this increase is a $263,000 decrease due to the Anatole Sale.
Interest expense from unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease is due to the Anatole Sale and the refinancing, in December 2020, of a variable rate construction loan to a fixed rate permanent mortgage on the Sola Station, Columbia SC property.
Depreciation
The decline is due primarily to the cessation of depreciation in the current period for properties (i.e., the Avenue and Parc at 980) that are being held for sale.
Impairment charges
In the current quarter, we recorded additional impairment charges of $490,000 at two properties that had experienced damage from the ice storms that occurred in Texas in February 2021 (the "Texas Ice Storm"). Damage at these properties was greater than initially estimated. There were no comparable charges in the corresponding period of the prior year
Insurance recoveries. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $490,000 of additional insurance recoveries related to the impairment charges from the Texas Ice Storm
Gain on insurance recoveries. During the three months ended June 30, 2020,we recognized a gain of $338,000 on insurance recoveries related to fire damaged units at a property. There was no comparable gain in the current period.
Gain on sale of real estate
In the current quarter, we sold our wholly-owned Kendall Manor, Houston, TX property, which had a book value of $16.8 million, for $24.5 million and recognized a gain on the sale of the property of 7.3 million. There was no comparable gain in the three month period ended June 30, 2020.
Impairment charge
In the current quarter, we recorded an impairment charge of $520,000 related to our investment in the OPOP Properties as the carrying value exceeded the carrying amount of the investment. There was no comparable charge in the three month period ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense.
The change is due to a $264,000 decrease in such expense on our floating rate junior subordinated notes due to the decline in interest rates and, to a lesser extent, the mortgage payoff in connection with the Kendall Manor Sale.
General and administrative.
The decrease is due to (i) the inclusion, in the corresponding 2020 period, of $688,000 of professional fees and expenses related to the Restatement and (ii) a $113,000 reduction, in the 2021 period, in expenses allocated pursuant to our shared services agreement.The decrease was offset by (i) a $409,000 increase in professional expenses incurred during the 2021 period, including $230,000 related to the Terminated Offeringand (ii) a $333,000 increase in compensation expense, including $207,000 due to the non-cash amortization of restricted stock (primarily related to the higher fair value of the shares granted in 2021 in comparison to the shares issues in 2016).
Impairment charge
In the current period, we recorded an impairment charge of $520,000 representing the excess of the book value of our investment in the Opop Properties over the anticipated selling price of the investment.
Depreciation
Approximately $215,000 of the decrease is due to the Kendall Manor Sale and the balance is due to the inclusion, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, of adjustments (i.e., to reflect an increase in the asset value) to such expense in connection with our buyout of a joint venture partner's interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service, acquire properties, make capital improvements, fund capital contributions, pay dividends and, pay dividends.to the extent we deem appropriate, reduce other than in the ordinary course, our indebtedness over time. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity have been the operations of our multi-family properties (including distributions from the joint ventures that own such properties), mortgage debt financings and refinancings,re-financings, equity contributions for acquisitions from our joint venture partners, our share of the proceeds from the sale of properties, the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our at-the-market equity distribution program, borrowings from our credit facility and our available cash (including restricted cash). Our available liquidity at November 1, 2020, was $35.1 million, including $15.8 million ofOn June 30, 2021 and August 2, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents, $9.3were approximately $34.7 million of restricted cash and subject to borrowing base requirements, up to $10.0$61.8 million, of availability underrespectively, and excludes funds held at our credit facility.unconsolidated joint ventures.
We anticipate that through 2022,2023, and without giving effect to the debt reduction (the"Debt Reduction") described in "-Recent Developments", our operating expenses, $104.0$108.4 million of mortgage amortization and interest expense and $182.9$163.0 million of balloon payments (including $88.2$96.0 million and $108.2$102.4 million, respectively, from unconsolidated joint ventures) due with respect to mortgages maturing from 20202021 to 2022,2023, estimated cash dividend payments of at least $34.1$40.0 million (assuming (i) the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.22 per share and (ii) 17.218.2 million shares outstanding), will be funded from cash generated from operations (including distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures), sales of properties and to the extent available, our credit facility. Our operating cash flow and available cash is insufficient to fully fund the $182.9$163.0 million of balloon payments, and if we are unable to refinance such debt, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties, in each case on potentially unfavorable terms.
After giving effect to the Debt Reduction, at August 2, 2021, wehad mortgage debt of $809.7 million (including $711.5 million of mortgage debt our unconsolidated subsidiaries). The mortgage debt at our: (i) consolidated subsidiaries had a weighted average interest rate of 4.08% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of approximately 5.0 years, and (ii) at our unconsolidated subsidiaries had a weighted average interest rate of 3.95% and a remaining term to maturity of approximately 7.3 years.
Capital improvements at (i) 2016 multi-family properties will be funded by approximately $9.1$7.9 million of restricted cash available at SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and the cash flow from operations at such properties and (ii) other properties will be funded from the cash flow from operations of such properties.
OurIn addition to the challenges presented by the current competitive environment to acquire properties, our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties (including our acquisition of our partner's interestthe Remaining Interest in properties owned byBells Bluff and the interests of joint ventures)venture partners in other properties), is limited by our available cash, and our ability to (i) draw on our credit facility, (ii) obtain, on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders, and (iii) raise capital from the sale of our common stock.stock, and (iv) use the net proceeds available to us from other property sales. Further, if and to the extent we generate ordinary taxable income, we will be required to make distributions to stockholders to maintain our REIT status and as a result, will be limited in our ability to use gains, if any, from property sales, as a source of funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions.
Junior Subordinated Notes
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, $37.4 million (excluding deferred costs of $322,000)$307,000) in principal amount of our junior subordinated notes is outstanding. These notes mature in April 2036, contain limited covenants (including covenants prohibiting us from paying dividends or repurchasing capital stock if there is an event of default (as defined therein) on these notes), are redeemable at our option and bear an interest rate, which resets and is payable quarterly, of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the interest rate on these notes was 2.27%2.19% and 4.26%2.76%, respectively.
Credit Facility
We entered into aOur credit facility dated April 18, 2019,with VNB, as amended and modified from time to time, with VNB New York, LLC, an affiliate of Valley National Bank. The facility allows us to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $10$15 million. The facility is available for the (i) acquisition of, and investment in, multi-family properties, forand (ii) working capital (including dividend payments) and operating expenses. It is secured by the cash available in certain cash accounts maintained by the Company at VNB, matures April 20212023 and bears an annual interest rate of 50 basis points over the prime rate, with a floor of 5%4.25%. At June 30, 2021, the annual interest rate on this facility was 4.25%. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and maximum amount then available under the facility.
The terms of the facility include certainincludes restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of debt service coverage with respect to the properties (and amounts drawn on the facility) used in calculating the borrowing base, the minimum number of wholly owned properties and the minimum number of properties used in calculating the borrowing base. Net proceeds received from
the sale, financing or refinancing of wholly owned properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the facility.
We are in compliance in all material respects with the facility.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
WeAlthough we are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K). Nevertheless, you should, the following information may be aware thatof interest to investors. At June 30, 2021, we are joint venture partners in approximately 3130 unconsolidated joint ventures which own multi-family properties and that the distributions to us from these joint venture properties ($3.74.2 million in the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020)2021) are a material source of our liquidity and cash flow. Further, we may be required to make significant capital contributions with respect to these properties. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, these joint venture properties have a net equity carrying value of $175.5$160.0 million and are subject to net mortgage debt, which is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet, of $825.8$817.3 million. Although BRT Apartments Corp. is not the obligor with respect to such mortgage debt, the loss of any of these properties due to mortgage foreclosure or similar proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These joint venture arrangements have been, and we anticipate that they will continue to be, material to our liquidity and capital resource position. See note 98 to our consolidated financial statements.
Cash Distribution Policy
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code.” To qualify as a REIT, accordingly we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute to our stockholders within the time frames prescribed by the Code at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income. Management currently intends to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to stockholders in accordance with the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for Federal taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income, (i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code).
Our net operating loss at December 31, 20192020 was $16.8estimated to be approximately $32.7 million; therefore, we are not currently required by Code provisions relating to REITs to pay cash dividends to maintain our status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each of April 7, 2020,2021 and July 9, 2020, and October 12, 2020,2021, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share.
We are carefully monitoring our discretionary spending particularly in light of the potential reduction in the base cash rent from tenants due to the economic challenges resulting from the pandemic. Our largest recurring discretionary expenditure has been our quarterly dividend (which was $ 0.22 per share of common stock, or in the approximate amount of $ 3.8$4.0 million, for the most recent quarter). Each quarter, our board of directors evaluates the timing and amount of our dividend based on its assessment of, among other things, our short and long- term cash and liquidity requirements, prospects, debt maturities, projections of our REIT taxable income, net income, funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations and the dividend policies of our peers.
Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations; Net Operating Income
We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
We compute FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated 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, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non- real estate assets. We compute AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight-line rent accruals, loss on extinguishment of debt, restricted stock and restricted stock unit expense, deferred mortgage costs and gain on insurance recovery. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the carrying value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, FFO and AFFO increased from the corresponding period in 2020, primarily due to overall increased operating margins at our consolidated and unconsolidated properties and to a lesser extent, a reduction in interest expense. FFO also increased as a result of insurance recoveries in the current six month period.
Net Operating Income, or NOI, is a non-GAAP measure of performance. NOI is used by our management and many investors to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends at our properties and to determine the estimated fair value of our properties. The usefulness of NOI may be limited in that it does not take into account, among other things, general and administrative expense, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, casualty losses, insurance recoveries and gains or losses as determined by GAAP. NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole.
We compute NOI, by adjusting net income (loss) to (a) add back (1) depreciation expense, (2) general and administrative expenses, (3) interest expense, (4) loss on extinguishment of debt, (5) equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, (6) provision for taxes, (7) the impact of non-controlling interests, and (b) deduct (1) other income, (2) gain on sale of real estate, and (3) gain on insurance recoveries related to casualty loss. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income (loss). NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than one mortgage, which is subject to an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020, we had one interest rate swap agreement outstanding. The2021, the fair value of this derivative instrument is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of this derivative instruments and the net unrealized gain thereon would have increased by approximately $14,000$10,000 and (ii) if there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of these derivatives and the net unrealized gain thereon would have decreased by approximately $14,000.$10,000. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.
Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the interest rate on these notes was 2.27%2.19%. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would increase our related interest expense by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would decrease our related interest expense by $89,000$50,000 annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020.
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Annual ReportReports on Form 10-K for the fiscal yearyears ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”) and 2019, a material weakness was identified in the internal controls over financial reporting relatedarising out of our misapplication of Accounting Standards Codification 810. As further described in the 2020 Annual Report, to the consolidation of properties that should have been accounted for using the equity method of accounting rather than consolidated.
After considering the progress of the remediation plan noted below and consider that becauseremediate this weakness, we have not acquired any properties since the Restatement, there has not been an appropriate opportunity to test the enhanced controls to conclude they are operating effectively, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance, and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.
Due to the material weakness, subsequent to March 31, 2020, management implemented a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness. We made significant changes tochanged the process of evaluating the accounting for investments in property ventures. Specifically beginning during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we have implemented procedures to assess each investment in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance and prepare an analysis spreadsheet that highlights the key criteria and decision points leading to the consolidation or equity method determination. Specific multi-level reviews of this enhanced documentation have been implemented to ensure that the correct contract terms are included in the analyses and the criteria and decision points are properly assessed. As these controls operate over a subjective area, include management judgment, and require certain technical and operational expertise, we have determined them to be management review controls. Additionally, due to the technical knowledge needed to perform the analysis and review, we have also implemented additional required training on consolidation accounting.
As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the subject matter (i.e., consolidation accounting). We have implementedSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the enhancedsupervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and documentation standardsas of June 30, 2021. As a result of the implementation of the remediation efforts described above and our plan istesting of such controls during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (we were unable to test such controls earlier because from the quarter ended June 30, 2020 through the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we did not engage in any transactions that would have allowed us to test the remediationremediated controls), these officers concluded that, as of this material weakness by the end of 2020, subject to there being sufficient opportunities to conclude, through testing, that the enhanced control is operating effectively.June 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
DespiteThere have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the foregoing,quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our management has concluded that, theinternal control over financial statements fairly present in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).reporting.

Our failure to comply with our consolidatedobligations under our debt instruments may reduce our stockholders’ equity, and adversely affect our net income and ability to pay dividends.
Several of our debt instruments include covenants that require us to maintain certain financial statementsratios, including various coverage ratios, and “Item 2. Management's Discussioncomply with other requirements. Failure to meet interest and Analysisother payment obligations under our debt instruments or a breach by us of Financial Conditionthe covenants to comply with certain financial ratios would place us in non-compliance under such instruments. If the lender called a default and Resultsrequired us to repay the full amount outstanding under such instrument, we might be required to rapidly dispose of Operations” for information regardingour properties, including properties securing such debt instruments, which could have an adverse impact on the $3.6 million impairment chargeamounts we tookreceive on such disposition. The lender on the Bells Bluff property, at which we are in the quarter ended September 30, 2020.process of buying out the interests of our joint venture partners, previously advised that the property was not in compliance with a financial covenant under the related $47.1 million mortgage and subsequently waived such non-compliance. We believe that the property is not currently in compliance with a similar financial covenant. Although we are, in connection with the buyout, refinancing such debt, no assurance can be given that we will refinance such debt before the lender declares a default or that if we are unable to timely complete the refinancing, the lender will again waive such non-compliance. If we are unable to satisfy the covenants of our debt obligations (including the Bells Bluff debt), the lender could exercise remedies available to it under the applicable debt instrument and as otherwise provided by law, including the possible appointment of a receiver to manage the property, application of deposits or reserves maintained under the debt instrument for payment of the debt, or foreclose and/or cause the forced sale of the property or asset securing such debt. A foreclosure or other forced disposition of our assets could result in the disposition of same at below the carrying value of such asset. The disposition of our properties or assets at below our carrying value may adversely affect our net income, reduce our stockholders’ equity and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.
