1.Business and Organization

 

Business

Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., which changed its name to Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. effective, which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. prior to July 20, 2017, (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines.  We have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily.  We have purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. As of September 30, 2017, we had seven real estate investments, six of which were consolidated through investments in joint ventures.

 

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II LP prior to November 1, 2017, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”).  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner.  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

Our business has beenis managed by an external advisor since the commencement of our initial public offering, and we have no employees. From January 4, 2008 throughEffective February 10, 2017, an affiliate of Stratera Services, LLC, formerly known as “Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC” (“Behringer”), acted as our external advisor (the “Behringer Advisor”). On February 10, 2017, we terminated our engagement of the Behringer Advisor and engaged affiliates of the Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us.

(Dollar and share amounts in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimatesthousands, except per share/unit data and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.where indicated in millions)

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable GAAP, and entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which we have less than a controlling interest or entities which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, we account for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

 

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

Net $132,359  $42,710  $352  $(65)

We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases.  In no event does the amortization period for intangible assets or liabilities exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building.  Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired lease intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense.

Real Estate Held for Sale

We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met in accordance with GAAP.  At that time, we present the assets and obligations of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property.  Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.  We did not have any real estate assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Restricted Cash

As required by our lenders, restricted cash is held in escrow accounts for anticipated capital expenditures, real estate taxes, and other reserves for our consolidated properties. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for an escrow of capital reserves. Restricted cash may also include certain funds temporarily placed in escrows with qualified intermediaries in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Investment Impairment

For all of our real estate and real estate-related investments, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable.  Examples of the types of events and circumstances that would cause management to assess our assets for potential impairment include, but are not limited to: a significant decrease in the market price of an asset; a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used; an accumulation of costs in excess of the acquisition basis plus construction of the property; major vacancies and the resulting loss of revenues; natural disasters; a change in the projected holding period; legitimate purchase offers; and changes in the global and local markets or economic conditions.  To the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic locations, downturns specifically related to such regions may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at those properties within a short time period, which may result in asset impairments.  When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset and from its eventual disposition to the carrying amount of the asset.  These projected cash flows are prepared internally by the Advisor and reflect in-place and projected leasing activity, market revenue and expense growth rates, market capitalization rates, discount rates, and changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer review these projected cash flows to assure that the valuation is prepared using reasonable inputs and assumptions that are consistent with market data or with assumptions that would be used by a third-party market participant and assume the highest and best use of the investment. We consider trends, strategic decisions regarding future development plans, and other factors in our assessment of whether impairment conditions exist.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to estimated fair value.  While we believe our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding factors such as market rents, economic conditions, and occupancy rates could significantly affect these estimates.

In evaluating our investments for impairment, management may use appraisals and make estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition of the properties, the estimated future cash flows of the properties during our ownership, and the projected sales price of each of the properties.  A future change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the carrying value of our investments, which could be material to our financial statements. In addition, we may incur impairment charges on assets classified as held for sale in the future if the carrying amount of the asset upon classification as held for sale exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell.

We also evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures at each reporting date.  If we believe there is an other than temporary decline in market value, we will record an impairment charge based on these evaluations.  We assess potential impairment by comparing our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows expected to be generated by the joint venture over the life of the joint venture’s assets to the carrying amount of the joint venture.  In the event that the carrying amount exceeds our portion of estimated future undiscounted operating cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the joint venture to its estimated fair value.

We believe the carrying value of our operating real estate assets and our investment in an unconsolidated joint venture is currently recoverable.  There were no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  However, if market conditions worsen unexpectedly or if changes in our strategy significantly affect any key assumptions used in our fair value calculations, we may need to take charges in future periods for impairments related to our existing investments.  Any such non-cash charges would have an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

We provide funding to third-party developers for the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate (“ADC Arrangement”).  Under an ADC Arrangement, we may participate in the residual profits of the project through the sale or refinancing of the property.  We evaluate this arrangement to determine if it2018 included herein has characteristics similar to a loan or if the characteristics are more similar to a joint venture or partnership such as participating in the risks and rewards of the project as an owner or an investment partner.  When we determine that the characteristics are more similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership, we account for the arrangement as an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting or a direct investment (consolidated basis of accounting) instead of applying loan accounting. The ADC Arrangement is reassessed at each reporting period. See Note 8, Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture, for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize rental revenue generated from leases of our operating properties on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any. Leases associated with our multifamily, student housing, and hotel assets are generally short-term in nature, and thus have no straight-line rent.

Hotel revenue isbeen derived from the operations ofconsolidated balance sheet included in the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel and consists primarily of guest room, food and beverage, and other ancillary revenues such as laundry and parking. Hotel revenue is recognized as the services are rendered.Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables related to our consolidated properties of $1.9 million and $1.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and included straight-line rental revenue receivables of $0.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was insignificant as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated according to the Company’s capitalization policy, which uses the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five to seven years.  Furniture, fixtures, and equipment associated with properties classified as held for sale are not depreciated. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Accumulated depreciation associated with our furniture, fixtures, and equipment was $5.0 million and $9.9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are recorded at cost, accounted for as a reduction to notes payable, and are amortized to interest expense using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. Deferred financing fees, net were $0.5 million and $0.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and have qualified as a REIT since the year ended December 31, 2008.  To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders.  As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level.  We are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code and intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We currently have no taxable income associated with a TRS. Our operating partnerships are flow-through entities and are not subject to federal income taxes at the entity level.

During 2015, we recorded an aggregate provision for income tax of approximately $2.7 million representing estimated foreign income tax due as a result of the sale of two foreign investments, Alte Jakobstraße (“AJS”) and Holstenplatz.  During the third quarter of 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million representing the difference in the actual taxes due and the originally estimated taxes payable on the sale of Holstenplatz.  During the third quarter of 2017, we recorded an aggregate income tax benefit of approximately $1.6 million consisting of (i) a refund of foreign income tax of approximately $0.8 million and (ii) the reversal of our previously estimated taxes payable on these sales of $0.8 million.

We have reviewed our tax positions under GAAP guidance that clarify the relevant criteria and approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it is more likely than not that the tax positions taken relative to our federal tax status as a REIT will be sustained in any tax examination.

Foreign Currency Translation

For our international investments where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates, while the statement of operations amounts are translated using the average exchange rates for the respective period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in exchange rates from period to period are reported separately as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in theunaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Upon the substantial liquidationfor interim periods are not necessarily indicative of our investment in a foreign entity, the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) balance is required to be released into earnings. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, upon disposal of the property, we recognize the CTA as an adjustment to the resulting gain or loss on sale.

The Euro was the functional currencyresults for the operations of AJS and Holstenplatz, which were both sold in 2015. As a result of the sale of AJS and Holstenplatz, we no longer have foreign operations. However, we still maintain a Euro-denominated bank account that is comprised primarily of the remaining undistributed proceeds from the sale of these properties, which we translate into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at each reportingfull year or any other period. As of September 30, 2017, we maintained approximately $5.2 million in Euro-denominated accounts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the foreign currency translation adjustment was a gain of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the foreign currency translation adjustment was a gain of less than $0.1 million.

 

Concentration of Credit RiskReclassifications 

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels.  WeCertain prior period amounts have diversified our cash and cash equivalents among several banking institutions in an attemptbeen reclassified to minimize exposureconform to any one of these entities.  We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

Geographic and Asset Type Concentration

Our investments may at times be concentrated in certain asset types that are subject to higher risk of foreclosure, or secured by assets concentrated in a limited number of geographic locations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 42% and 16% of our total revenues were derived from our properties located in Hawaii and Florida, respectively. Additionally, 42%, 31%, and 21% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were from our hotel, multifamily, and student housing investments, respectively. To the extent that our portfolio is concentrated in limited geographic regions or types of assets, downturns relating generally to such region or type of asset may result in defaults on a number of our investments within a short time period, which may reduce our net income and the value of our common stock and accordingly limit our ability to fund our operations. The Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, our only hotel and sole property located in Hawaii, was sold on August 15, 2017. See Note 7 for additional information.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest represents the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments.  Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based generally on their ownership percentage.   If a property reaches a defined return threshold, then it will result in distributions to noncontrolling interest which is different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. In certain instances, our joint venture agreement provides for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics (“promoted interest”).current year presentation.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

4.New Accounting Pronouncements

 

NewRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

 

In May 2014,February 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an updateAccounting Standards Update (“ASU 2014-09”ASU”) that amends the existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 outlinesrecognize a single comprehensive modellease liability and a right-of-use asset for entitiesall leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases will continue to userecognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most ofleases under the existing revenue recognition guidance.  The new guidance will require companies to apply a five-step model in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, as well as enhance disclosures regarding revenue recognition. Lease contracts will be excluded from this revenue recognition criteria; however, the sale of real estate will be required to follow the new model.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the standard; however, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements, as substantially all revenues consist of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from the standard.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the FASB issued subsequent updates to ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-10”) to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-12”) to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvement and Practical Expedients.  The amendments in these updates did not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; rather, they added improvements to reduce the diversity in practice at initial application and the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and an ongoing basis. The areas affected include: assessing the collectability criteria; presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers; noncash consideration; contract modification and completed contracts at transition; and technical correction as it relates to retrospective application and disclosure.  The new guidance is substantially the same as in prior periods, but eliminates current real estate- specific provisions and changes the treatment of initial direct costs. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 20182019.

The Company elected the following package of practical expedients provided by the standard: (i) an entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contract is a lease or contains a lease, (ii) an entity need not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases, and allows full(iii) an entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided for in the standard and therefore will only recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year.

The Company did not recognize any right-of-use assets or modified retrospective application.  We do not expect thelease liabilities upon adoption of the standard. The Company does not have any material leases such as ground leases or building leases or any material leases with a term greater than one year. From time to time the Company will enter into immaterial leases for office equipment such as copiers.  The resulting right-of-use assets or lease liabilities would be immaterial in the aggregate and are recognized in the period they are incurred as lease expense.

The ASU 2016-10provides a practical expedient which allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both: (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component in lease contracts where we are the lessor. The ASU 2016-12also provides a transition option that permits entities to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, we will continuenot recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to evaluate this assessment until the guidance becomes effective.standard, which the Company also elected.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-02”) to ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the existing lease accounting model, and modifies both lessee and lessor accounting. The new guidance will require lessees to recognizeadoption of this standard did not have a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and financing leases, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of earnings. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees will be permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. Under this new pronouncement, lessor accounting will be largely unchanged from existing GAAP. The new standard will be effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will havematerial effect on our consolidated financial statements when adopted.position or our results of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2016-13”) to ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses. This amendednew guidance requires measurement and recognition ofwhich replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable forecasts. This is different from the current guidance as this will require immediate recognition of estimatedinformation to inform credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. Thisloss estimates.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements when adopted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an update (“ASU 2017-01”) to ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance clarifies the definition of a business and assists in the evaluation of whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or as a business combination. The guidance provides a test to determine when a set of assets and activities acquired is not a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Under the updated guidance, an acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and associated transaction costs will be capitalized rather than expensed as incurred. Additionally, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest will be measured at their relative fair values. This guidance is effective for fiscal years andincluding interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including for interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Uponfiscal years.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance, we anticipate future acquisitionsstandard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of real estate assets, if any, will likely qualify as an asset acquisition.

Fair value measurements areOn February 14, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 384-unit multifamily property located in Ann Arbor, Michigan (the “Valley Ranch Apartments”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $70.3 million, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, our Advisor received an aggregate of approximately $1.3 million in acquisition fees and acquisition expense reimbursements.

In connection with the acquisition of the Valley Ranch Apartments, the Company simultaneously entered into a $43.4 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the “Valley Ranch Apartments Loan”) collateralized by the Valley Ranch Apartments (See Note 7).

The Company determined this acquisition was an asset acquisition and allocated the total purchase price, including acquisition fees and expenses, to the assets acquired based on their relative fair value. Approximately $24.1 million was allocated to land and improvements, $46.3 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $1.1 million was allocated to in-place lease intangibles.

The capitalization rate for 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, a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independentacquisition of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2Valley Ranch Apartments was approximately 5.35%. The Company calculates the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing the net operating income (“NOI”) of the hierarchy)property by the purchase price of the property, excluding costs. For purposes of this calculation, NOI was based upon the year ended November 30, 2018. Additionally, NOI is all gross revenues from the property less all operating expenses, including property taxes and management fees but excluding depreciation.

4.Note Receivable

500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan

On February 28, 2019, the Company entered into a $12.0 million Mezzanine Loan Promissory Note (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan”) with an unaffiliated third party (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower”). On the same date, the Company funded $8.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is recorded in note receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the funding of $8.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, our Advisor received an aggregate of approximately $0.1 million in acquisition fees from the Company. The acquisition fee is accounted for as adirect deduction from the carrying value of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand is being amortized over the initial term of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and amortized to interest expense using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, is due August 31, 2021 and is collateralized by the ownership interests of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower owns a parcel of land located at 500 West 22nd Street, New York, New York. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 11.0% per annum with a floor of 13.493% (13.493% as of March 31, 2019). The Company received an origination fee of 1.0% of the loan balance, or approximately $0.1 million, which ispresented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand will be amortized,to interest income using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method,over the initial term of the500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan may be extended two additional six- month periods by the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower provided certain conditions are met, including the establishment of an additional reserve for interest and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the hierarchy) has been established.outstanding loan balance.

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.  In instances where the determinationUpon funding of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, the Company retained approximately $2.1 million of the fair value hierarchy, the levelproceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items, which ispresented in the fairconsolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value hierarchy within whichof the fair value measurement falls500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loanand will beapplied against the first 8.0% of monthly interest due during the initial term of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan.

As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, payables/receivables fromaccrued property tax and payables to related parties and distributions payable to noncontrolling interests were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the interest rate is variable and reflective of the market rate. The fair value of the notes payable is categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.

Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel

On June 19, 2017, we, through our indirect 80%-owned subsidiaries, Kauai Coconut Beach, LLC and Kauai Coconut Beach Operator, LLC, (collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into an agreement (the “Courtyard Kauai Agreement”) to sell the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, a 311-room hotel located in Kapaa, Hawaii, to KHS, LLC, (the “Buyer”) an unaffiliated third party, for a contractual sales price of $62.0 million.

On August 15, 2017, the Sellers completed the sale of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel to the Buyer for $62.0 million pursuant to the terms of the Courtyard Kauai Agreement.  In connection with the transaction, the Buyer assumed the existing outstanding mortgage indebtedness of $36.0 million secured by the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel. The net proceeds from the disposition of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel were approximately $24.1 million, after the payment of closing costs, expenses, pro rations and other working capital adjustments and a payment of a payment of approximately $1.7 million to the minority owner of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel. In connection with the sale of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $20.9 million on our consolidated statements of operations during the third quarter of 2017.

In connection with the sale of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, certain funds were placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The balance of the escrow account was approximately $27.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and is included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet.

The disposition of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel are reflected in the Company’s results from continuing operations for all periods presented through its respective date of disposition.

8.Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

We provided mezzanine financing totaling $15.3 million to an unaffiliated third-party entity (the “Borrower”) that owns an apartment complex in Denver, Colorado (the “Huron”).  The Borrower also has a senior construction loan with a third-party construction lender (the “Senior Lender”) in an aggregate original principal amount of $40 million.  The senior construction loan is guaranteed by the owners of the developer.  We also have a personal guaranty from the owners of the developer guaranteeing completion of the project and payment of cost overruns. Our mezzanine loan is secured by all of the membership interests of the Borrower and is subordinate to the senior construction loan. Our advances of $15.3 million initially had annual stated interest rates ranging from 10% to 18%. We evaluated this ADC Arrangement and determined that the characteristics are similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership. Accordingly, the investment is accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting instead of loan accounting since we will participate in the residual interests through the sale or refinancing of the property. 

Both the senior loan and our mezzanine loan were in technical default at December 31, 2016 due to a delay in completion of the project. The project was subsequently completed in January 2017. On March 23, 2017, the Senior Lender executed a loan amendment extending the maturity date of the loan to March 24, 2018. The Senior Lender loan amendment also increased the interest rate 75 basis points to 30-day LIBOR plus 375 basis points and added provisions to require the maintenance of certain prescribed minimum occupancy and rental rates at future dates. On May 8, 2017, we amended the mezzanine loan agreement to mirror the maturity date of the senior loan and changed our interest rate to 11% for the entire balance of the loan. The amended mezzanine loan agreement was effective as of March 1, 2017. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal balance under the mezzanine loan was $15.3 million. The Borrower funded all cost overruns.

We considered the impact of these events on our accounting treatment and determined the ADC Arrangement should still continue to be accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting. We will continue to monitor this situation and assess any impact these or future events might have on our ability to ultimately realize the carrying value of our investment. The ADC Arrangement is reassessed at each reporting period.

In connection with our investment in the Huron, we capitalized interest of $176 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. There was no interest capitalized on our investment in the Huron during the three months ended September 30, 2016 or during the 2017 periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded no equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated joint venture related to our investment in the Huron. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses associated with its unconsolidated joint venture is limited to its carrying value in this investment.

The following table sets forth our ownership interest in the Huron:

9.Variable Interest Entities

Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted the guidance in ASU 2015-02. As a result, the Operating Partnership (see Note 1) and each of our less than wholly-owned real estate partnerships (22 Exchange, LLC, Gardens Medical Pavilion, LLC, SL Parkside Apartments, LLC, and the ADC Arrangement associated with the Huron) have been deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE. However, we were not required to consolidate any previously unconsolidated entities or deconsolidate any previously consolidated entities as a result of the change in classification. Accordingly, there has been no change to the amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows or amounts recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Consolidated VIEs

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, 22 Exchange, LLC, Gardens Medical Pavilion, LLC through BH-AW-Florida MOB Venture, LLC, and SL Parkside Apartments, LLC, which are variable interest entities, or VIEs, for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership, or legal entities such as an LLC, are considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and the business activities of the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Included in the Company’s joint venture investments as of September 30, 2017 is the ADC Arrangement associated with the Huron, which is accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture and is a VIE. Refer to Note 8 for further details on the ADC Arrangement. This arrangement was established to provide mezzanine financing to an unaffiliated third party that owns the Huron, an apartment complex in Denver, Colorado. Based on our reevaluation under ASU 2015-02, we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the rights of the general partner. The arrangement does not allow for substantive kick-out rights over the general partner and we do not have the power to direct the activities of the Huron that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. Accordingly, we have determined it is appropriate, consistent with past accounting, that the Huron ADC Arrangement will continue to be accounted for under the equity method.

(1) Includes approximately $0.1 million of unamortized premium related to debt we assumed at acquisition.

As of September 30, 2017, our outstanding notes payable were $102.9 million, net of deferred financing fees of $0.5 million, and had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.0%. For loans in place as of September 30, 2017, we have guaranteed payment of certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse carveouts as set forth in the guaranties in favor of the unaffiliated lenders with respect to the 22 Exchange and Parkside notes payable.

We are subject to various customary financial covenants, including, maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios and liquidity. We did not meet the debt service coverage requirements for our 22 Exchange loan as of March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017. As a result, we expect the lender to begin sweeping the cash from operations; however, the loan is not in default.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had debt of approximately $12.6 million associated with Gardens Medical Pavilion, approximately $23.6 million associated with River Club and Townhomes at River Club, and $9.8 million associated with Parkside maturing in the next twelve months.

If we do not dispose of Gardens Medical Pavilion, River Club and Townhomes at River Club or Parkside by their maturity dates, we expect to repay the outstanding balances with available cash or refinance all or a portion of the balances outstanding.Marketable Securities

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2019, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not reflectactive; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the exercisefull term of any extension options,the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair values of the Company’s investments in debt securities are measured using quoted prices for these investments; however, the markets for these assets are not active. As of March 31, 2019, all of the Company’s debt securities were classified as of September 30, 2017:Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

In addition, the Company’s non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Lakes of Margate (outstanding principal balance of $13.6 million as of March 31, 2019) matures in January 2020. We currently expect to refinance all or a portion of this maturing indebtedness on or before its scheduled maturity. However, if we through our 80% ownership interest in a joint venture between our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and JMI Realty, LLC, an unaffiliated third party (the “Kauai Joint Venture���), entered into a new mortgage facility of upare unable to $44 million (the “Courtyard Kauai Loan”) with TH Commercial Investment Corp.

The Courtyard Kauai Loan bore interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 4.7% and was scheduled to mature in three years with two one-year extensions available. We had also guaranteed payment of certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse carveouts as set forth in the guaranties in favor of the lender.  available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales.

8.Leases

The Company’s office, multi-family and student housing properties are leased to tenants under operating leases. Substantially all of our multi-family and student housing leases have initial terms of 12 months or less. Our office leases expire between 2019 and 2025.

We, as a lessor, retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the investment properties and continue to account for our leases as operating leases. We accrue fixed lease income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Some of our tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. We recognize this variable lease consideration only when each tenant’s sales exceed the applicable sales threshold. We amortize any tenant inducements as a reduction of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease.

We structure our leases to allow us to recover a portion of our property operating expenses from our tenants. A portion of our leases require the tenant to reimburse us for a portion of our operating expenses, including common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes and insurance. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance and other administrative expenses. For some of our leases we receive a fixed payment from the tenant for the CAM component which is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When not reimbursed by the fixed CAM component, CAM expense reimbursements are based on the tenant’s proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses for the property. We accrue reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all of these expenses as variable lease consideration in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. We recognize differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the subsequent year. These differences were not material in any period presented.

As of March 31, 2019, the approximate fixed future minimum rental payments, excluding variable lease consideration, from the Company’s office property, Gardens Medical Pavilion, due to us under non-cancelable are as follows:

2019  2020  2021  2022  2023  Thereafter  Total 
$1,187  $1,471  $1,118  $973  $895  $767  $6,411 

Pursuant to the lease agreements, tenants of the property may be required to reimburse the Company for some or the entire portion of the particular tenant's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and operating expenses of the property. Such amounts are not included in the future minimum lease payments above, but are included in rental revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Rental revenue of approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to variable lease payments was included in rental revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has excluded our multi-family and student housing leases from this table as substantially all of its multi-family and student housing leases have initial terms of 12 months of less.

 

12.Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact our cash flows and the results of operations.  The hedging strategy of entering into interest rate caps and swaps, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows.

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any derivative instruments and were not engage in any hedging activities.

Our derivative financial instruments had a nominal effect on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

13.9.Distributions

 

U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. These analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of director’s decisions will be substantially influenced by the obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

11.Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

We provided mezzanine financing totaling $15.3 million to an unaffiliated third-party entity (the “Borrower”) that owned an apartment complex in Denver, Colorado (the “Prospect Park”). The Borrower also had a senior construction loan with a third-party construction lender (the “Senior Lender”) in an aggregate original principal amount of $40.0 million. The senior construction loan was guaranteed by the owners of the developer. We also had a personal guaranty from the owners of the developer guaranteeing completion of Prospect Park and payment of any cost overruns. Our mezzanine loan was secured by all of the membership interests of the Borrower and was subordinate to the senior construction loan. Our advances of $15.3 million initially had annual stated interest rates ranging from 10% to 18%.

Pursuant to the terms of the mezzanine loan, we participate in the residual interests of Prospect Park attributable to a sale or refinancing even though we had no actual ownership interest. We previously evaluated this ADC Arrangement and determined that its characteristics were similar to a jointly-owned investment or partnership. Accordingly, our investment, which was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) was accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture under the equity method of accounting instead of loan accounting.

On December 15, 2017, the Borrower sold Prospect Park to an unrelated third-party for a contractual sales price of approximately $100.5 million. In connection with the sale, the Borrower repaid the Senior Construction Loan in full and we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $21.6 million representing the repayment in full of the outstanding principal and accrued interest due on our mezzanine loan. Additionally, the Borrower placed approximately $15.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale into an escrow account to be used for settlement of the amount due to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park. The carrying value of our unconsolidated investment in Prospect Park, which represented the minimum amount payable to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park, was $10.9 million as of December 31, 2018.

On January 4, 2019, the Company and the Borrower received payments of $10.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, from the escrow account. As a result, the carrying value of our unconsolidated investment in Prospect Park has been reduced to zero and approximately $2.3 million remains in the escrow account to be used for settlement of any potential remaining amount due to us for our participation in the residual interests of Prospect Park and any additional amounts received will be recognized upon receipt.

Executive Overview

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis.  In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who were distressed or faced time-sensitive deadlines.  In addition, our opportunistic and value-add investment strategy has included investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income. Since inception, we have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties and newly constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We have made our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions. Currently, our investments include multifamily and student housing communities, and an office building, and a mezzanine loan.building. All of our current investments are located in the United States.

 

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange.  The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. We previously targeted the commencement of a liquidity event within six years after the termination of our initial public offering, which occurred on July 3, 2011. On June 29, 2017, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline an additional six years until June 30, 2023 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. However, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $53.2$18.7 million as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. Our principal demands for funds going forward will be for the payment of (a) operating expenses, (b) interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, (c) share redemptions and (d) distributions, if any, authorized by our board of directors. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for the payment of operating expenses, interest on our outstanding indebtedness and share redemptions with our cash flow from operations and to fund authorized distributions (if any) from available cash flow from operations and/or proceeds received from asset sales. To the extent that our cash flow from operations is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses, interest on our outstanding indebtedness, or share redemptions,these items, we expect to use cash generated from borrowings and selective asset sales to fund such needs.

 

We intend to hold our various real properties until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.

On January 5, 2016, we paid a special cash distribution of $38.4 million, or $1.50 per share of common stock, which was funded from proceeds received from asset sales.

The debt secured by Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, with an outstanding balance of $38 million was scheduled to mature on May 9, 2017. On May 8, 2017, we, through our 80% ownership interest in a joint venture between our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and JMI Realty, LLC, an unaffiliated third party (the “Kauai Joint Venture”), entered into a new mortgage facility of up to $44 million (the “Courtyard Kauai Loan”) with TH Commercial Investment Corp. Initial borrowings of $36 million were advanced under the Courtyard Kauai Loan and those funds plus additional cash were used to repay the then outstanding balance under the previous loan with Wells Fargo Bank. The Courtyard Kauai Loan bore interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 4.7% and was scheduled to mature in three years with two one-year extensions available. We also had guaranteed payment of certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse carveouts as set forth in the guaranties in favor of the lender.

On August 15, 2017, the Courtyard Kauai Loan was assumed by the buyer in connection with our sale of the Courtyard Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel. The outstanding balance as of the date of sale was $36.0 million. In connection with the sale of the Kauai Coconut Beach Hotel, certain funds were placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The balance of the escrow account was approximately $27.0 million as of September 30, 2017 and is included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 7 for additional information.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had debt of approximately $12.6 million associated with Gardens Medical Pavilion, approximately $23.6 million associated with River Club and Townhomes at River Club, and $9.8 million associated with Parkside maturing in the next twelve months.

If we do not dispose of Gardens Medical Pavilion, River Club and Townhomes at River Club or Parkside by their maturity dates, we expect to repay the outstanding balances with available cash or refinance all or a portion of the balances outstanding. In addition to our debt obligations, we consider other factors in evaluating our liquidity. For example, to the extent our portfolio is concentrated in certain geographic regions and types of assets, downturns relating generally to such regions and assets may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a number of our properties within a short time period.  Such defaults could negatively affect our liquidity and adversely affect our ability to fund our ongoing operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 42% and 16% of our total revenues were derived from our properties located in Hawaii and Florida, respectively. Additionally, 42%, 31% and 21% of our total revenues were from our hotel, multifamily and student housing investments, respectively.

We may, but are not required to, establish capital reserves from cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments, or net sales proceeds from the sale of our properties and other investments.  Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and major capital expenditures.  Alternatively, a lender may establish its own criteria for escrow of capital reserves.

 

We have borrowed and may continue to borrow money to acquire properties and make other investments.  Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness is limited to 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors.  In addition to our charter limitation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests.  Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets.

 

Commercial real estate debt markets may experience volatility and uncertainty as a result of certain related factors, including the tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies, macro-economic issues related to fiscal, tax and regulatory policies, and global financial issues.  Should the overall cost of borrowings increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads, we will need to factor such increases into the economics of our developments and investments.  This may result in our investment operations generating lower overall economic returns and a reduced level of cash flow, which could potentially impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.  In addition, disruptions in the debt markets may reduce the amount of capital that is available to finance real estate, which in turn could: (i) lead to a decline in real estate values generally; (ii) slow real estate transaction activity; (iii) reduce the loan to value ratio upon which lenders are willing to extend debt; and (iv) result in difficulty in refinancing debt as it becomes due, all of which may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse impact on the value of real estate investments and the revenues, income or cash flow from the operations of real properties and mortgage loans.

Debt Financings

 

From time to time, we have obtained mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans for acquisitions and investments, as well as property development.  In the future, we may obtain financingnew financings to acquire properties and for property renovation development and redevelopment activities or refinance our existing real estate assets, depending on multiple factors.

 

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our outstanding notes payable were $102.9$181.5 million, net of deferred financing fees of $0.5$3.1 million, and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.0%4.4%.

For loans in place as of September 30, 2017, we have guaranteed payment of certain recourse liabilities with respect to certain customary nonrecourse carveouts as set forth in the guaranties in favor of the unaffiliated lenders with respect to the 22 Exchange and Parkside notes payable.

 

We are subject to various customaryOur loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants.  These covenants including,include, among other things, maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios, and liquidity.  We did not meetare currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

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

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measureBecause of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined bythese factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which is used in the April 2002 “White PaperREIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of Funds From Operations” whicha REIT's operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income (loss),or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP,depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairments of depreciableamortization related to real estate, (including impairmentsgains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships which resulted from measurableentities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the joint venture or partnership), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, subsidiaries, and noncontrolling interests as one measure to evaluate our operating performance. In October 2011, NAREIT clarified theentity. Our FFO definition to exclude impairment charges of depreciable real estate (including impairments of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships which resulted from measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the joint venture or partnership).calculation complies with NAREIT's definition.

 

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believesWe believe that the use of FFO together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance.performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

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

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

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

 

 3523 

 

 

We believe that, FFObecause MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, helpfulthe capacity to investorscontinue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our management asportfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance because it excludes depreciationby the non-listed REIT industry and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, impairmentsallows for an evaluation of depreciable assets, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which is not immediately apparent from net income.our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.

 

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indicationor indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connectionconjunction with other GAAP measurements. Additionally,measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the exclusioncurrent GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of impairments limitsa publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the usefulnessnon-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO as a historical operating performance measure since an impairment charge indicates that operating performance has been permanently affected. FFO is not a useful measure in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO. Our FFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs that do not define these terms in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the definition differently.MFFO accordingly.

(1)1)During 2015, we recordedThe purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an aggregate provisionaccurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for income taxfuture distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of approximately $2.7 million representing estimated foreign income tax dueproperties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as a result ofapplicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of two foreign investments, Alte Jakobstraße (“AJS”)shares in our offering, and Holstenplatz. Duringtherefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the third quartersale of 2017, we recorded an aggregate income tax benefitproperties or from ancillary cash flows.
2)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of approximately $1.6 million consistingother real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of (i) a refundthese intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of foreign income tax of approximately $0.8 million and (ii) the reversal of our previously estimated taxes payable on these sales of $0.8 million.real estate.

Cash flows generated from FFO may be used to fund all or a portion of certain capitalizable items that are excluded from FFO, such as capital expenditures and payments of principal on debt, each of which may impact the amount of cash available for special distributions to our stockholders.

3)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.
4)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
5)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.
6)Our MFFO results include certain unusual items as set forth in the table below. We believe it is helpful to our investors in understanding our operating results to both highlight them and present adjusted MFFO excluding their impact (as shown below).

  For the
Three Months Ended
 
  March 31, 2018 
Default interest expense(a) $(423)
Allocations to noncontrolling interests  42 
Total after allocations to noncontrolling interests $(381)

(a)Represents the accrual of default interest expense on our non-recourse mortgage loan which was collateralized by 22 Exchange. Although the lender for 22 Exchange did not charge us and was not paid interest at the stated default rate, we accrued interest at the default rate pursuant to the terms of the respective loan agreement. On December 28, 2018, we and the 10.0% noncontrolling member relinquished our ownership of 22 Exchange through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction with the lender.

Excluding the impact of this unusual item from our MFFO, after taking into consideration allocations to noncontrolling interests, our adjusted MFFO attributable to Company's common shares would have been $578 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Distributions

 

U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on its analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. These analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for our portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. The board of director’s decisions will be substantially influenced by the obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

 

26

On November 20, 2015, our board of directors authorized a special cash distribution of $1.50 per share of common stock, payable to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2015. The Company paid this special cash distribution which aggregated $38.4 million on January 5, 2016. This special cash distribution represented a portion of proceeds received from previous asset sales.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment.  These estimates include such items as impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

OurOther than as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly from the discussion found in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2017.April 1, 2019.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Euro was the functional currency for the operations of Alte Jakobstraße (“AJS”) and Holstenplatz, which were both sold in 2015. As a result of the sale of AJS and Holstenplatz, we no longer have foreign operations. However, we still maintain a Euro-denominated bank account that is comprised primarily of the remaining undistributed proceeds from the sale of these properties, which we translate into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, we maintained approximately $5.2 million in Euro-denominated accounts.

Interest Rate Risk

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments.  Our management’s objectives, with regard to interest rate risks, are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs.  To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates.  With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.  We may enter into derivative financial instruments such as options, forwards, interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively lock the interest rate portion of our variable rate debt.  However, all of our outstanding notes payable of $103.4 million, excluding deferred financing fees, as of September 30, 2017 were subject to fixed interest rates.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) using the criteria established inInternal Control-New Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The terms on which we redeemredeemed shares may differprior to July 1, 2018 differed between redemptions upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” (as defined in the share redemption program) or confinement to a long-term care facility (collectively, Exceptional Redemptions) and all other redemptions or Ordinary Redemptions.

 

Any shares approved for redemption will be redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from timePrior to time by our board of directors, and no less frequently than annually.  We will not redeem, during any 12-month period, more than 5% ofJuly 1, 2018, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption.  In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10 million in any twelve-month period.  The redemption limitations apply to all redemptions, whether Ordinary or Exceptional Redemptions.

The per share redemption price for Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions iswas equal to the lesser of 80% and 90%, respectively, of (i) the then current estimated NAV per share valueShare and (ii) the average price per share the investor paid for all of his shares (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock) less the Special Distributions (as defined in the share redemption program).

 

Effective November 18, 2016, our estimated value per share was $7.80. For a full description of the methodologies used to estimate the value of our common stock as of October 31, 2016, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities-Market Information” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Notwithstanding the redemption prices set forth above,On August 9, 2017, our board of directors may determine, whether pursuantadopted a Fourth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended Share Redemption Program”) to formulasbe effective July 1, 2018. Under the Amended Share Redemption Program, beginning July 1, 2018, we will no longer process redemptions upon death, “qualifying disability,” or processesconfinement to a long-term care facility on terms different than those on which we process all other redemptions. Additionally, the price at which we will redeem shares submitted for redemption will be a percentage of the estimated NAV per Share as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Amended Share Redemption Program), as follows:

For Redemptions with an Effective Date Between
July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019:92.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020:95.0% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021:97.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
Thereafter:100% of the estimated NAV per Share

Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended Share Redemption Program, any shares approved or setfor redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by our board of directors, the redemption priceand no less frequently than annually.  We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares which may differ between Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions; provided, however, that we must provide at least 30 days’ noticeoutstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to stockholders before applying this new price determined by our boardthe date of directors.
