1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting. Pillarstone Capital REIT's (the “Company,” “Pillarstone,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred.

Use of estimates. In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), management, in preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact the Company's business and markets, including the Company's operations and the operations of its tenants. The full extent to which the pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, including revenues, expenses, reserves and allowances, fair value measurements, and asset impairment charges, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. These developments include, but are not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in our markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 consisted of demand deposits at a commercial ~~banks~~bank and a brokerage ~~accounts.~~account. We maintain our cash in bank accounts that are federally insured.

Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles. We allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values at the time of purchase. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases, the value of in-place leases and customer relationship value, if any. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt. Due to the effects of the COVID-19, we are carefully evaluating acquisitions, development and redevelopment opportunities on an individual basis.

Depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years for improvements and buildings. Tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the life of the improvement or remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter.

Impairment. We review our properties for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. We determine whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Management has determined that there has been 0 impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Accrued Rents and Accounts Receivable. Included in accrued rent and accounts receivable are base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. We review the collectability of charges under our tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenants' businesses and financial condition. ~~With the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 842, "Leases"~~ ~~("Topic 842") effective January 1, 2019, we~~We recognize an adjustment to rental revenue if we deem it probable that the receivable will not be collected. ~~Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, we recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense of the specific rents receivable.~~ Our review of collectability under our operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue. As of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had an allowance for uncollectible accounts of approximately ~~$286,000~~$438,000 and ~~$161,000,~~$398,000, respectively. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded an adjustment to rental revenue in the amount of approximately ~~$83,000~~$40,000 and ~~$131,000,~~$48,000, respectively. ~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an adjustment to rental revenue in the amount of~~The approximately ~~$59,000 and $119,000, respectively. Included in the~~$40,000 adjustment to rental revenue for the three ~~and six~~ months ~~ending June 30, 2020~~ended March 31, 2021 was ~~an adjustment of approximately $20,000 and $33,000, respectively,~~ related to credit ~~loss~~losses for the conversion of ~~approximately six and seven~~2 tenants ~~respectively,~~ to cash basis revenue as a result of our COVID-19 collectability analysis.

We anticipate that the ongoing global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related responses intended to control its spread will continue to adversely affect business activity, particularly relating to our retail tenants, across the markets in which we operate. Any such impacts may be material in nature. As part of the initial response to the virus, many governmental authorities implemented measures such as enhanced screenings, quarantine or shelter in place requirements and travel restrictions, including local governments in Texas, where all our properties are located. In May 2020, parts of the U.S. began to ease certain restrictions and allow for the reopening of businesses but with required or recommended safety protocols. Due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the fall of 2020, parts of the U.S. implemented additional stay in place orders and other restrictions. While as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, services businesses are permitted to be open 100% in Texas, the timing and ultimate impact of any steps to reopen the economy as a whole and on our and our tenant's businesses and financial condition remains uncertain. As a result, there can be no assurance that service businesses will remain open in the near term, or that state and local governments will not take additional measures to control a possible resurgence of COVID-19 in Texas, any of which may materially and adversely impact our or our tenants' businesses and their ability to pay their rental payments or otherwise continue to occupy their space. Though COVID-19 vaccines have become available in the U.S., there remain uncertainties as to the logistics of distribution and the overall efficacy of the vaccine program, and there can be no assurances regarding the timing for when vaccines or other therapies will be widely available and effective and the related impact on the economic recovery. In light of the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the extent that its impact will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in our markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, the unknown timing or effectiveness of treatments, possible resurgences of COVID-19 cases in future periods and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Unamortized Lease Commissions and Loan Costs. Leasing commissions are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related lease agreements. Loan costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of the loans, which approximates the interest method. Costs allocated to in-place leases whose terms differ from market terms related to acquired properties are amortized over the remaining life of the respective leases.

Prepaids and Other assets. Prepaids and other assets include escrows established pursuant to certain mortgage financing arrangements for real estate taxes and insurance.

Noncontrolling Interests. Noncontrolling interests are the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable to a parent. Accordingly, we have reported noncontrolling interest in equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets but separate from Pillarstone’s equity. On the condensed consolidated statements of operations, subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amount, including both the amount attributable to Pillarstone and noncontrolling interest.

Revenue recognition. All leases on our properties are classified as noncancelable operating leases, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. For the three ~~and six~~ months ~~ending June 30,~~ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we ~~recognized~~did not recognize a straight-line rent reserve adjustment decreasing rental ~~revenue by approximately $50,000 for the conversion of four tenants to cash basis revenue as a result of COVID-19 collectibility analysis.~~revenue. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are capitalized or charged, as applicable, to accrued rents and accounts receivable. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the corresponding costs are incurred. We combine lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent and recoveries into a single line item, Rental, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We recognize lease termination fees in the year that the lease is terminated and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Additionally, we may have tenants who pay real estate taxes directly to the taxing authority. We exclude these costs paid directly by the tenant to third parties on our behalf from revenue recognized and the associated property operating expense.

Stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation," which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. ASC No.718 generally requires that these transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards.

Income taxes. Because we have not elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We are also subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. The provision for state and local taxes has been reflected in provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance.

The Company evaluates potential uncertain tax positions on an annual basis in conjunction with the board of trustees and its tax accountants. Authoritative literature provides a two-step approach to recognize and measure tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of ~~$326,000,~~$73,000, and as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had net deferred tax liabilities of ~~$101,000~~$75,000 and ~~$96,000,~~$82,000, respectively.

Concentration of Risk. Substantially all of our revenues are obtained from office and warehouse locations in the Dallas and Houston metropolitan areas. We maintain cash accounts in major U.S. financial institutions. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. The balances of these accounts sometimes exceed the federally insured limits, although no losses have been incurred in connection with these deposits.

Recent accounting pronouncements. In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on the application of Topic 842, relating to concessions being made by lessors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The guidance notes that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions relating to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed, even if such enforceable rights and obligations are not explicitly contained in the lease contract. Thus, for concessions relating to COVID-19, an entity would not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract, and would have the option to apply, or not to apply, the general lease modification guidance in Topic 842 as it stands. We have elected this option to account for lease concessions relating to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. Therefore, such concessions are not accounted for as a lease modification under Topic 842.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that provided the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. Additional guidance and targeted improvements to the February 2016 ASU were made through the issue of supplementary ASUs in July 2018, December 2018 and March 2019.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the new lease accounting guidance in Topic 842. As the lessee and lessor, we have elected the package of practical expedients permitted in Topic 842. Accordingly, we have accounted for our existing leases as operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing (a) whether the contract contains a lease under Topic 842, (b) whether classification of the operating lease would be different in accordance with Topic 842, or (c) whether the unamortized initial direct costs before transition adjustments (as of December 31, 2018) would have met the definition of initial direct costs in Topic 842 at lease commencement. Additionally, as the lessee and lessor, we will use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of our right-of-use assets. As a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, as the lessee, we recognized on January 1, 2019 (a) a lease liability of approximately $21,000, which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments of approximately $22,000 discounted using our incremental borrowing rate of 4.5%, and (b) a right-of-use asset of approximately $21,000.

Upon adoption of Topic 842, lessees and lessors are required to apply a modified retrospective transition approach. Reporting entities are permitted to choose one of two methods to recognize and measure leases within the scope of Topic 842:

•Apply Topic 842 to each lease that existed at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as well as leases that commenced after that date. Under this method, prior comparative periods presented are adjusted. For leases that commenced prior to the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, a cumulative-effect adjustment is recognized at that date.

•Apply the guidance to each lease that had commenced as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the lease standard with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of that date. Prior comparative periods would not be adjusted under this method.

We have elected an optional transition method that allows entities to initially apply Topic 842 at January 1, 2019, the date of adoption, and to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As the lessor, we have not assessed unamortized legal costs as part of the package of practical expedients, and we will not make any adjustment to retained earnings at the date of adoption to write off unamortized legal costs. We continued to amortize unamortized legal costs as of December 31, 2018 over the life of the respective leases. We did not have a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the adoption date. Additionally, the optional transition method does not allow us to apply the new

~~standard (including disclosure requirements) to comparative periods presented. Those periods can continue to be presented in accordance with prior generally accepted accounting principles.~~

Topic 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases and operating leases. Based on our election of the package of practical expedients, our existing commercial leases, where we are the lessor, continue to be accounted for as operating leases under the new standard. However, Topic 842 changed certain requirements regarding the classification of leases that could result in us recognizing certain long-term leases entered into or modified after January 1, 2019 as sales-type leases or finance leases, as opposed to operating leases. We will continue to monitor our leases following the adoption date to ensure that they are classified in accordance with the new lease standards.

We elected a practical expedient which allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the lease component when the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease components and non-lease components are the same and if the lease component is classified as an operating lease. As a result, we now present all rentals and reimbursements from tenants as a single line item, ~~Rental,~~ ~~within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we had rental revenues of approximately $2,185,000 and $4,522,000, respectively, and~~ ~~rental reimbursements of approximately $334,000 and $614,000, respectively, compared to rental revenues of approximately $3,254,000~~ ~~and $6,519,000, respectively and~~ ~~rental reimbursements of approximately $613,000 and $1,250,000, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.~~

We review the collectability of charges under our tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenants' businesses and financial condition. Each tenant is included in one of several portfolios and an allowance is calculated using the calculation methodology for the respective portfolio. With the adoption of Topic 842, we recognize an adjustment to rental revenue if we deem it not probable that the receivable will be collected. Tenant portfolios will be converted to cash basis if collectability is of great concern. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, we recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts and bad debt expense of the specific rents receivable. Our review on collectability under our operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue.

3. LEASES

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting guidance in Topic 842. As the lessee and lessor, we have elected the package of practical expedients in Topic 842. See Note 1 for additional disclosure on Topic 842.

As a Lessor. All leases on our properties are classified as noncancelable operating leases, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are capitalized or charged, as applicable, to accrued rents and accounts receivable. Percentage rents, if applicable, are recognized as rental income when the thresholds upon which they are based have been met. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the corresponding costs are incurred. We combine lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent, recoveries, and percentage rents into a single line item, Rental, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

On December 8, 2016, Pillarstone and Pillarstone OP, entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Whitestone REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“Whitestone OP”), a subsidiary and the operating partnership of Whitestone REIT (“Whitestone”), both of which are related parties to Pillarstone and Pillarstone OP. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Whitestone OP contributed to Pillarstone OP all of the equity interests in 4 of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”): Whitestone CP Woodland Ph. 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; Whitestone Industrial-Office, LLC, a Texas limited liability company; Whitestone Offices, LLC, a Texas limited liability company; and Whitestone Uptown Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Uptown Tower”) that owned 14 real estate assets (the “Real Estate Assets” and, together with the Subsidiaries, the “Property”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $84 million, consisting of (1) approximately $18.1 million of Class A units representing limited partnership interests in Pillarstone OP (“OP Units”), issued at a price of $1.331 per OP Unit; and (2) the assumption of approximately $65.9 million of liabilities by Pillarstone OP. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Pillarstone became the general partner of Pillarstone OP with an equity ownership interest in Pillarstone OP totaling approximately an 18.6% interest valued at $4.1 million as of the date of the Contribution Agreement.

In connection with the Contribution Agreement, on December 8, 2016, the Company, as the general partner of Pillarstone OP, entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Pillarstone OP (as amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, subject to certain protective rights of the limited partners described below, the general partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and control of Pillarstone OP, including the ability to cause Pillarstone OP to enter into certain major transactions including a merger of Pillarstone OP or a sale of substantially all of the assets of Pillarstone OP. The limited partners have no power to remove the general partner without the general partner's consent. In addition, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the general partner may not conduct any business without the consent of a majority of the limited partners other than in connection with certain actions described therein. The Company is deemed to exercise significant influence over Pillarstone OP as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Pillarstone OP's economic performance and the Company's right to receive benefits based on its ownership percentage in Pillarstone OP. Accordingly, the Company accounts for Pillarstone OP as a Variable Interest Entity.

The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership designates two classes of units of limited partnership interest in Pillarstone OP: the OP Units and LTIP units. In general, LTIP units are similar to the OP Units and will receive the same quarterly per-unit profit distributions as the OP Units. The rights, privileges, and obligations related to each series of LTIP units will be established at the time the LTIP units are issued. As profits interests, LTIP units initially will not have full parity, on a per-unit basis, with OP Units with respect to liquidating distributions. Upon the occurrence of specified events, LTIP units can over time achieve full parity with the OP Units and therefore accrete to an economic value for the holder equivalent to OP Units. If such parity is achieved, vested LTIP units may be converted on a 1-for-one basis into OP Units, which in turn are redeemable by the holder for cash or, at the Company’s election, exchangeable for Common Shares on a 1-for-one basis.

8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES

On November 20, 2015, 5 trustees on our board of trustees loaned $197,780 to the Company in exchange for convertible notes payable. The convertible notes payable accrue interest at 10% per annum and originally matured on November 20, 2018. In 2019, our board of trustees approved an extension of the maturity date to November 20, 2021. The convertible notes payable can be converted by the noteholders into Common Shares at the rate of $1.331 per Common Share at any time. At maturity or when the Company chooses to call the convertible notes payable, the noteholders have the option to receive cash plus accrued interest or convert the convertible notes payable into Common Shares at $1.331 per Common Share. Accrued interest on these related ~~party~~ convertible notes was approximately ~~$91,000~~$106,000 as of ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 compared with approximately ~~$81,000~~$101,000 as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

9. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company applies the guidance of ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share," for all periods presented herein. Net earnings (loss) per weighted average Common Share outstanding, basic and diluted, is computed based on the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding for the period. The following table shows the weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding and reconciles the numerator and denominator of earnings per Common Share calculations for the three ~~and six~~ month periods ended ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and ~~2019.~~2020.

For the three ~~and six~~ month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, Class A ~~Cumulative~~ Preferred Shares ~~("Preferred A Shares"),~~and Class C ~~Convertible~~ Preferred Shares ~~("Preferred C Shares")~~were not included in net loss per weighted average number of Common Share outstanding-diluted, because the effect of the conversion would be anti-dilutive. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, Restricted Common Shares awarded pursuant to the 2016 plan (defined in Note 11 below) were not included in net loss per weighted average number of Common ~~Shares dilutive,~~Share outstanding-dilutive, because the effect of the conversion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, Class A Cumulative Preferred Shares ("Preferred A Shares"), Class C Convertible Preferred Shares ("Preferred C Shares") were included in net earnings per weighted average number of Common Shares.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 8, 2016, the Company entered into the Contribution Agreement with Whitestone OP, a related party, resulting in the contribution of an equity ownership interest in Pillarstone OP by the Company valued at $4,121,312 and representing approximately 18.6% of the outstanding equity in Pillarstone OP. The terms of the Contribution Agreement were determined through arm's-length negotiations and were recommended to the board of trustees by a special committee of the board of trustees consisting solely of disinterested trustees of the Company and approved by the full board.

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or prior to June 8, 2018, a shelf registration statement to register for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the issuance of the common shares in the Company that may be issued upon redemption of the OP Units issued pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the offer and resale of such common shares by the holders thereof. In addition, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control (as defined therein) of Whitestone, Pillarstone OP shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase the OP Units issued thereunder from Whitestone OP at their initial issue price of $1.331 per OP Unit. Pillarstone and Whitestone agreed to extend the filing of the shelf registration statement to the date that the Company closes a public equity offering.

In connection with the Contribution Agreement, on December 8, 2016, the Company and Pillarstone OP entered into a Tax Protection Agreement (the “Tax Protection Agreement”) with Whitestone OP pursuant to which Pillarstone OP agreed to indemnify Whitestone OP for certain tax liabilities resulting from its recognition of income or gain prior to December 8, 2021 if such liabilities result from a transaction involving a direct or indirect taxable disposition of all or a portion of the Property or if Pillarstone OP fails to maintain and allocate to Whitestone OP for taxation purposes minimum levels of liabilities as specified

~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~

~~(unaudited)~~

in the Tax Protection Agreement, the result of which causes such recognition of income or gain and Whitestone incurs taxes that must be paid to maintain its REIT status for federal tax purposes. In December 2018, Pillarstone OP sold 3 of the Real

Estate Assets, which did not create additional tax liabilities for Whitestone OP. In addition, the sale of the 2019 Real Estate Assets Sold did not create additional tax liabilities for Whitestone OP.

During the ordinary course of business, we have transactions with Whitestone that include, but are not limited to, rental income, interest expense, general and administrative costs, commissions, management and asset management fees, and property expenses.

Pursuant to the Management Agreements with respect to each property, other than Uptown Tower, Whitestone TRS

agreed to provide certain property management, leasing and day-to-day advisory and administrative services to such properties in exchange for (1) a monthly property management fee equal to 5.0% of the monthly revenues of each property and (2) a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.125% of GAV (as defined in each Management Agreement as, generally, the purchase price of the respective property based upon the purchase price allocations determined pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, excluding all indebtedness, liabilities or claims of any nature) of such property. Pursuant to the Management Agreement with respect to Uptown Tower, Whitestone TRS agreed to provide certain property management, leasing and day-to-day advisory and administrative services in exchange for (1) a monthly property management fee equal to 3.0% of the monthly revenues of Uptown Tower and (2) a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.125% of GAV of Uptown Tower.

11. INCENTIVE EQUITY PLAN

At the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved the 2016 Equity Plan ("2016 Plan").

The 2016 Plan provides that awards may be made in Common Shares of the Company or units in the Company’s operating partnership, which may be converted into Common Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided by the terms of the 2016 Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Common Shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan will be increased based on future issuances of Common Shares and units of the operating partnership, including issuances pursuant to the 2016 Plan, so that at any time the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2016 Plan shall equal 12.5% of the aggregate number of Common Shares and units of the operating partnership issued and outstanding (other than treasury shares and/or units issued to or held by the Company).

The Management, Organization and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) administers the 2016 Plan, except with respect to awards to non-employee trustees, for which the 2016 ~~Plan~~plan is administered by the board of trustees. Subject to

the terms of the 2016 Plan, the Committee is authorized to select participants, determine the type and number of awards to be granted, determine and later amend (subject to certain limitations) the terms and conditions of any award, interpret and specify the rules and regulations relating to the 2016 Plan, and make all other determinations which may be necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan includes the types of awards for grants and types of financial performance measures.

On July 1, 2019, the Committee approved the grant of 45,031 Restricted Common Share Units (the "Units") subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Unit Award Agreement (the "Award"). These Units are time-based shares that vest each year over the next three years and will be fully vested on July 1, 2022.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") was reported to have surfaced in China. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to constitute a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" and characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The U.S. government has also implemented enhanced screenings, quarantine requirements and travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. The spread of this virus has caused business disruption to the Company beginning in 2020, because businesses in the United States were concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on their operations. Local governments in Texas, where all our properties are located, have mandated a stay in place order, closed non-essential businesses, and closed other types of service businesses, such as bars and restaurants, (though they can continue to provide take out and drive through services). As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, businesses are open, but some businesses must continue to comply with limited occupancy in Texas.

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and markets, including how it will impact the businesses of its tenants. The Company has put in place a temporary response team to address tenant concerns in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The response team is in ongoing communication with the Company's tenants and is assisting tenants in identifying local, state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including stimulus funds that may be available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020. The Company has received a number of rent relief requests from tenants, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is evaluating each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in lease concessions, nor is the Company forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements at this time. The Company is unable to predict the ongoing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in the Company's markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have received payments of approximately 95% of contractual base rent and common area maintenance reimbursable expenses billed for the second quarter. As is believed to be the case with landlords across the U.S., we have received a number of rent relief requests from tenants, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, which we are evaluating on a case-by-case basis.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through ~~August~~May 14, ~~2020,~~2021, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there are no ~~other~~ subsequent events to be reported.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to Pillarstone Capital REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including discussion and analysis of our financial condition, anticipated capital expenditures required to complete projects, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to our shareholders in the future and other matters. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on its knowledge and understanding of our business and industry. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or the negative of such terms and variations of these words and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

The Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT") engaged in investing in, owning and operating commercial properties. Future real estate investments may include (i) acquisition and development of retail, office, office warehouse, industrial, multifamily, hotel and other commercial properties, (ii) acquisition of or merger with a REIT or real estate operating company, and (iii) joint venture investments. Substantially all of our business is conducted through our operating partnership Pillarstone OP. We are the sole general partner of Pillarstone OP. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we owned approximately 18.6% of the outstanding equity in Pillarstone OP and we fully consolidate it on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the Company is a smaller reporting company current in its quarterly and annual financial statement filings with the SEC, that may make future real estate investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to close additional transactions. Even if our management is successful in closing additional transactions, investors may not value the transactions or the Company in the same manner as we do, and investors may not value the transactions as they would value other transactions or alternatives. Failure to obtain additional sources of capital will materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue operations, as well as its liquidity and financial results.

Brief History

Pillarstone was formed on March 15, 1994 as a Maryland REIT. The Company operated as a traditional REIT by buying, selling, owning and operating commercial and residential properties through December 31, 1999. In 2000, the Company purchased a software technology company, resulting in the Company not meeting the qualifications to be a REIT under the Code. In 2002, the Company discontinued the operations of the technology segment, and from 2003 through 2006, pursued a value-added business plan primarily focused on acquiring well located, under-performing multifamily residential properties, including affordable housing communities, and repositioning them through renovation, leasing, improved management and branding. From 2006 until December 2016, the Company continued its existence as a corporate shell current in its SEC filings.

On December 8, 2016, Pillarstone and Pillarstone OP entered into the Contribution Agreement with Whitestone OP, a subsidiary and the operating partnership of Whitestone, both of which are related parties to Pillarstone and Pillarstone OP, pursuant to which Whitestone OP contributed to Pillarstone OP all of the equity interests in four of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Whitestone CP Woodland Ph. 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CP Woodland”); Whitestone

Industrial-Office, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Industrial-Office”); Whitestone Offices, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Whitestone Offices”); and Whitestone Uptown Tower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Uptown Tower”) that owned 14 real estate assets (the "Real Estate Assets") for aggregate consideration of approximately $84 million, consisting of (1) approximately $18.1 million of Class A units representing limited partnership interests in Pillarstone

OP issued at a price of $1.331 per OP Unit; and (2) the assumption of approximately $65.9 million of liabilities by Pillarstone OP (collectively, the “Acquisition”).

~~On December 27, 2018, Pillarstone OP sold a portfolio~~Impact of ~~three Real Estate Assets, resulting in 11 Real Estate Assets in the Pillarstone OP's real estate portfolio at December 31, 2018.~~

On October 8, 2019, Pillarstone OP, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial-Office, LLC, sold a portfolio of three Real Estate Assets in Houston, Texas to an unaffiliated third party for $39.7 million in cash. Pillarstone OP used the net proceeds, after customary closing deductions, to pay off mortgage debt on several of the remaining Real Estate Assets, and repaid the remaining $5.7 million loan from Whitestone. In addition to the $5.7 million loan repayment, Whitestone received a $5.4 million cash distribution based on its approximate 81.6% ownership in Pillarstone OP as a result of the sale. The October 8, 2019 sale of three Real Estate Assets resulted in eight Real Estate Assets remaining in the Company's real estate portfolio at June 30, 2020.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~

~~Cash Flows~~

~~As of~~ ~~June 30, 2020, our unrestricted cash resources were approximately $4,875,000. We are dependent on cash generated by our ownership of the eight Real Estate Assets to meet our liquidity needs.~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's cash balance increased by $251,000 from $4,624,000 at December 31, 2019 to $4,875,000 at June 30, 2020. This increase in cash was due to cash provided by operating activities of approximately $917,000, cash used in investing activities of approximately $529,000 and cash used in financing activities of approximately $137,000.

Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions and market perceptions about our Company. In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other dynamics in the capital markets impacted by COVID-19 and the economic slowdown, our access to capital may be diminished.

~~Future Obligations~~

As part of the Acquisition on December 8, 2016, Pillarstone OP assumed approximately $65.9 million of liabilities related to the Real Estate Assets contributed by Whitestone OP. As the general partner of Pillarstone OP, we are ultimately liable for the repayment of the loans. Included in the $65.9 million of liabilities was $15.5 million due to Whitestone OP by December 8, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, Pillarstone repaid $17.3 million in outstanding loans, which included $9.8 million to Whitestone OP and $7.5 million to other noteholders using cash from operations and proceeds from the sale of certain Real Estate Assets. On December 27, 2018, the Company sold three Real Estate Assets in Houston, Texas to an unaffiliated third party for $15.9 million, resulting in 11 Real Estate Assets in the Company's real estate portfolio at December 31, 2018.

On October 8, 2019, Pillarstone OP, sold three Real Estate Assets in Houston, Texas to an unaffiliated third party for $39.7 million in cash, resulting in eight Real Estate Assets in the Company's real estate portfolio at December 31, 2019. Pillarstone OP used the net proceeds, after customary closing deductions, to repay mortgage debt secured by the Real Estate Assets sold on October 8, 2019 and other Real Estate Assets, and to repay the remaining $5.7 million of its $15.5 million loan from Whitestone OP. In addition to the $5.7 million loan repayment, Whitestone received a $5.4 million cash distribution from its 81.4% ownership of Pillarstone OP as a result of the sale. We expect our remaining debt balance to be repaid from raising capital, selling assets, and/or debt refinancing. As of June 30, 2020, the Company's debt obligations are approximately $15.6 million, including convertible notes payable. See Note 8 for more details on the Company's convertible notes payable.

~~Long Term Liquidity and Operating Strategies~~

~~Historically, we have financed our long term capital needs, including acquisitions, as follows:~~

•~~borrowings from new loans;~~

•~~additional equity issuances of our common and preferred shares; and~~

•~~proceeds from the sales of our Real Estate Assets.~~

From 2006 until December 2016, the Company continued its existence as a corporate shell filing its periodic reports with the SEC so that it could be used for future real estate transactions or sold to another company. During this time, the Company was funded by its trustees who contributed $500,000 in exchange for 125,000 Preferred C Shares and $197,780 in exchange for convertible notes payable.

Subsequent to the Acquisition, Pillarstone has been developing strategies for the Real Estate Assets in order to create value for the enterprise and our shareholders and selling assets to pay off some of its debt. To implement the strategy to create value with the Real Estate Assets additional capital will need to be raised.

COVID-19

The following discussion is intended to provide our shareholders with certain information regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and ~~management’s~~management's efforts to respond to those impacts. Unless otherwise specified, the statistical and other information regarding our portfolio and tenants are estimates based on information available to us as of ~~August~~May 14, ~~2020.~~2021. As a result of the rapid development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding ~~the COVID-19 pandemic,~~this situation, we expect that such statistical and other information will change, potentially significantly, going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, cash flows and financial condition, and that of our tenants, for future periods.

~~The World Health Organization has declared~~We anticipate that the ongoing global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related responses intended to ~~constitute a "Public Health Emergency~~control its spread will continue to adversely affect business activity, particularly relating to our retail tenants, across the markets in which we operate. Any such impacts may be material in nature. As part of ~~International Concern" and characterized COVID-19~~the initial response to the virus, many governmental authorities implemented measures such as ~~a pandemic. As a result, U.S. and many local governments have implemented~~ enhanced screenings, quarantine or shelter in place requirements and travel ~~restrictions. For example,~~restrictions, including local governments in Texas, where all our properties are ~~located, mandated a~~located. In May 2020, parts of the U.S. began to ease certain restrictions and allow for the reopening of businesses but with required or recommended safety protocols. Due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the fall of 2020, parts of the U.S. implemented additional stay in place ~~order, closed non-essential~~orders and other restrictions. While as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, services businesses ~~and closed other types of service businesses, such as bars and restaurants, though they can continue~~are permitted to ~~provide take out and drive through services temporarily and under certain circumstances~~ be open ~~at a limited capacity. However,~~100% in Texas, the timing and ultimate impact of any ~~such~~ steps onto reopen the economy as a whole and on our and our ~~tenants’~~tenant's businesses and financial condition remains uncertain.

WeAs a result, there can be no assurance that service businesses will remain open in the near term, or that state and local governments will not take additional measures to control a possible resurgence of COVID-19 in Texas, any of which may materially and adversely impact our or our tenants' businesses and their ability to pay their rental payments or otherwise continue to occupy their space. Though COVID-19 vaccines have become available in the U.S., there remain uncertainties as to the logistics of distribution and the overall efficacy of the vaccine program, and there can be no assurances regarding the timing for when vaccines or other therapies will be widely available and effective and the related impact on the economic recovery. In light of the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the ~~impact~~extent that ~~the COVID-19 pandemic~~its impact will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity in our markets and elsewhere, governmental actions to contain the spread of the pandemic and respond to the reduction in global economic activity, the unknown timing or effectiveness of treatments, possible resurgences of COVID-19 cases in future periods and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Our portfolio and tenants have been impacted by these and other ~~factors~~ as follows:

•As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all of our properties are open and ~~have been~~ operating in compliance with federal, state and local COVID-19 guidelines and mandates.

•Approximately 97% of our tenants (based on annualized base rent ("ABR")) are open and operating.

•Included in our adjustments to rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was a bad debt adjustment of $40,000 related to credit loss for the conversion of two tenants to cash basis revenue as a result of COVID-19 collectability analysis.

•As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have received ~~payment~~payments of approximately ~~95%~~94% of contractual base rent and common area maintenance ~~reimbursable expenses~~reimbursables billed for the ~~second~~first quarter. As is believed to be the case with ~~other~~retail landlords across the U.S., we have received a ~~number of~~few rent relief requests from tenants, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, which we ~~are evaluating~~evaluate on ~~a case-by-case~~an individual basis. Collections and rent relief requests to-date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period. The Company has two tenants on a deferred payment plan as of March 31, 2021.

We have taken a number of proactive measures to maintain the strength of our business and manage the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and liquidity, including the following:

•We have cash and cash equivalents of approximately ~~$4,875,000~~$4,566,000 as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

•We are carefully evaluating acquisition, development and redevelopment opportunities on an individual basis.

•We have put in place a ~~temporary~~ response team to address tenant concerns. The response team is in ongoing communication with our tenants and is ~~assisting~~continuing to assist tenants in identifying local, state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including stimulus funds that may be available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020.

•We are continuing to proactively ~~implementing~~implement expense reductions at the property level to minimize cost pass-throughs to our tenants and at the corporate level to preserve profitability.

•The health and safety of our employees, the staff that manages our properties, and their respective families is a top priority. We ~~have~~ adapted our operations to protect employees, including by implementing a work from home ~~policy.~~policy during the government mandated shelter in place and social distancing where possible within our offices.

While we believe these steps have been effective to date, we expect there will be additional challenges ahead that may impact either our operations or those of our tenants, which could have an adverse effect on our and our tenants' businesses and financial performance. We expect to continue to implement proactive measures until we determine that the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained for purposes of our business, and we may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interests of our employees and tenants. As a result, we may incur additional expenses in future periods in response to the pandemic, which could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, we may revise our approach to these initiatives or take additional actions to meet the needs of our employees and tenants.

Interest Rates and Inflation

The Company was not significantly affected by inflation during the periods presented in this report due primarily to the relative low nationwide inflation rates and the Company having approximately 100% of its debt with fixed rates as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make certain estimates and assumptions. The following section is a summary of certain estimates that both require our most subjective judgment and are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. It is possible that the use of different estimates or assumptions in making these judgments could result in materially different amounts being reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue recognition. All leases on our properties are classified as operating leases, and the related rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. For the three ~~and six~~ months ~~ending June 30,~~ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we ~~recognized~~did not recognize a straight-line rent reserve adjustment decreasing rental ~~revenue by approximately $50,000 for the conversion of four tenants to cash basis revenue as a result of our COVID-19 collectibility analysis.~~revenue. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due per the respective lease agreements are capitalized or charged, as applicable, to accrued rents and accounts receivable. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the corresponding costs are incurred. We combine lease and nonlease components in lease contracts, which includes combining base rent and recoveries into a single line item, Rental, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Acquired Properties and Acquired Lease Intangibles.We allocate the purchase price of the acquired properties to land, building and improvements, identifiable intangible assets and to the acquired liabilities based on their respective fair values at the time of purchase. Identifiable intangibles include amounts allocated to acquired out-of-market leases, the value of in-place leases and customer relationship value, if any. We determine fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends and specific market and economic conditions that may affect the property. Factors considered by management in our analysis of determining the as-if-vacant property value include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, tenant demand and other economic conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, tenant improvements, legal and other related expenses. Intangibles related to out-of-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded as acquired lease intangibles and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. Premiums or discounts on acquired out-of-market debt are amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of such debt.

Impairment. We review our properties for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. We determine whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. Management has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value of our real estate assets as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.
