1.Business and Organization

 

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc., 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. We currently have one operating segment. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had eight real estate investments (four(five wholly owned properties and fourthree properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan).

 

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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our wholly ownedwholly-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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our wholly ownedwholly-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.Partnership

 

Our business is managed by an external advisor and we have no employees. Effective February 10, 2017, we engaged affiliates of theThe Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. Lightstone is majority owned by the chairman of our board of directors, David Lichtenstein. Subject to the oversight of our board of directors, our external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets.

 

Organization

In connection with our initial capitalization, we issued 22.5 thousand22,500 shares of our common stock and 1.0 thousand1,000 shares of our convertible stock to our previous advisor on January 19, 2007.  TheseThe 1,000 shares of convertible stock were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017. As2017 and remain outstanding as of June 30, 2019, we had 22.8 million shares of common stock outstanding and 1.0 thousand shares of convertible stock outstanding held by an affiliate of Lightstone.March 31, 2020.

 

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. WeOur board of directors previously targeted June 30, 2023 as the commencement of a liquidity event, within six years after the termination of our initial public offering, which occurredhowever, on July 3, 2011. On June 29, 2017,January 9, 2020, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline an additional six years until June 30, 20232028 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. However, weWe 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.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests 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 interests which is different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. In certain instances, our joint venture agreements provide for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics (“promoted interest”).metrics.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018,2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019.March 30, 2020.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

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.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20182019 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

 

Reclassifications  

 

Certain prior period amounts may have been reclassified to conform to the 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 income/(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsThe global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of the illness caused by the virus have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. In addition, all the states where we operate properties and have real-estate related investments have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that may continue. Many states have recently announced guidelines to reduce certain of these restrictions.

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that amends the existing lease accounting guidance and requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases on their balance sheets. Lessees of operating leases will continue to recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, accounting for leases under 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, 2019.

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 (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.

Despite current restrictions and mitigation strategies, the Company’s multi-family properties have not recognizeyet seen any right-of-use assets or lease liabilities upon adoptionsignificant impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Company’s student housing complex, which consists of the standard. The Company does notRiver Club Apartments and the Townhomes at River Club, are located in Athens, Georgia and principally serve as “off-campus” lodging for students attending the University of Georgia, which has transitioned to online instruction for the remainder of its Spring 2020 semester and its other course offerings throughout the summer. Leases for the River Club Apartments and Townhomes at River Club generally have any material leases such as ground leases or building leases or any material leases with a term greater thanof one year. From timeyear from August through July. The Company’s student housing complex is located “off-campus” and its tenants have not been forced to timevacate. However, if the Company will enter into immaterial leasescurrent COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation strategies extend beyond the summer, the University of Georgia may decide to continue offering only online instruction to its students in lieu of “on-campus” classes which could adversely impact leasing demand, occupancy levels and operating results of the Company’s student housing complex for office equipment such as copiers.  The resulting right-of-use assets or lease liabilities would be immaterial infuture periods. Additionally, the aggregateCompany’s note receivable relates to a development project which is subject to similar restrictions and are recognized in the period they are incurred as lease expense.risks.

 

The ASU provides a practical expedient which allows lessorsextent 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 also provides a transition option that permits entities to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the standard, which the Company also elected.Company’s business may be affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, including its duration, spread and treatment, and related travel advisories and restrictions, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

 

The adoptionIf the Company’s properties and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted in future periods for an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) demand for its student housing complex declines, and (iii) its borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the outstanding note receivable; the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. While the Company has implemented various cost reduction strategies, including the deferral of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or our resultscertain non-critical capital expenditures, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will fully mitigate the potential adverse impact of operations.any lost revenue and income.

COVID-19 Lease Modification Accounting Relief

 

Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing GAAP, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.The Company is evaluating the impact of this policy election and has not yet concluded on whether it will apply the election.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.  The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard 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 operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

5.Financial Instruments

 

We determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or only estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

 

As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, advance from advisor, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, accrued property tax and payables to related parties 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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

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

 

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

 11Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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

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

 

The fair values of the Company’s investments in debt securities are measured using quoted prices for these investments; however, the markets for these assets are not active. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, all of the Company’s debt securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities:

We amortize any tenant inducements as a reductionprice of revenue utilizing the straight-line method over the term$7.75 per share for an aggregate purchase price of the related lease.$15.5 million in April 2020.

 

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 June 30, 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:

Because the amount of repurchase requests exceeded the maximum number of shares the Company had offered to repurchase, the Company repurchased shares on a pro-rata basis, subject to “odd lot” priority as described in the Tender Offer. Excluding the stockholders eligible for “odd lot” priority that were not be subject to proration, approximately 91.58% of the number of shares tendered by each remaining stockholder who participated in the Tender Offer were repurchased by the Company.

Share Redemption Program and Redemption Price

The Company’s board of directors has adopted a share redemption program (the “SRP”) that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to it, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program.  The Company’s board of directors can amend the provisions of the SRP at any time without the approval of the stockholders.

On August 9, 2017, the board of directors adopted a Fourth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Fourth Amended SRP”) which became effective July 1, 2018. The Fourth Amended SRP established that the price at which the Company would redeem shares submitted for redemption will be a percentage of the estimated net asset value per share (“NAV per Share”) as of the Effective Date, as defined, 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 lease agreements, tenantsterms of the propertyFourth Amended SRP, any shares approved for redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, and no less frequently than annually.  The Company will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption.  In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10.0 million in any twelve-month period.  Any redemption requests are honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available and are not honored on a first come, first served basis.

On December 28, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted a Fifth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Fifth Amended SRP”) which became effective on January 31, 2019. The only material change to the program was to change the measurement period for the limitations on the number and dollar amount of shares that may be requiredaccepted for redemption from a rolling 12 month-period to reimbursea calendar year.

In accordance with the Company’s Fifth Amended SRP, the per share redemption price automatically adjusted to $8.64 effective November 7, 2019 as a result of the determination and approval by the Company’s board of directors of the updated estimated NAV per Share.

In connection with the approval of the Tender Offer on December 13, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of the SRP. Pursuant to the terms of the SRP, while the SRP is suspended, the Company will not accept any requests 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 $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and rental revenue of approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to variable lease payments was included in rental revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.redemption.

 

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.Distributions

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.

Advisor

Our external advisor and certain of its affiliates may receive fees and compensation in connection with the management and sale of our assets based on an advisory management agreement, as amended and restated.

The following discussion describes the fees and expenses payable to our external advisor and its respective affiliates under the various advisory management agreements.

We pay our external advisor acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the amount paid in respect of the purchase, development, construction, or improvement of each asset we acquire, including any debt attributable to those assets. In addition, we pay acquisition and advisory fees of 1.5% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 we incurred acquisition and advisory fees payable to our external advisor of approximately $0.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. We incurred no acquisition and advisory fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 because we had no acquisitions during these periods.

We also pay our external advisor an acquisition expense reimbursement in the amount of (i) 0.25% of the funds paid for purchasing an asset, including any debt attributable to the asset, plus 0.25% of the funds budgeted for development, construction, or improvement in the case of assets that we acquire and intend to develop, construct, or improve or (ii) 0.25% of the funds advanced in respect of a loan investment. We also pay third parties, or reimburse our external advisor or its affiliates, for any investment-related expenses due to third parties in the case of a completed investment, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, travel and communication expenses, costs of appraisals, accounting fees and expenses, third-party brokerage or finder’s fees, title insurance, premium expenses, and other closing costs.

Our external advisor and its affiliates are also responsible for paying all of the investment-related expenses that we or the external advisor or its affiliates incur that are due to third parties or related to the additional services provided by our external advisor as described above with respect to investments we do not make, other than certain non-refundable payments made in connection with any acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred no acquisition expense reimbursements.

Prior to June 10, 2018 we paid our external advisor a debt financing fee of 0.5% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us and pay directly all third-party costs associated with obtaining the debt financing, on June 10, 2018 we amended the advisory management agreement with our advisor and increased the debt financing fee to 1.0% of the amount available under any loan or line of credit made available to us and pay directly all third-party costs associated with obtaining the debt financing. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $0.3 million and $0.7 million of debt financing fees, respectively. We incurred no debt financing fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

We pay our external advisor a development fee in an amount that is usual and customary for comparable services rendered to similar projects in the geographic market of the project if such affiliate provides the development services and if a majority of our independent directors determines that such development fee is fair and reasonable to us.  We incurred no development fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

We pay our external advisor a monthly asset management fee of one-twelfth of 0.7% of the value of each asset. The value of our assets will be the value as determined in connection with the establishment and publication of an estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share unless the asset was acquired after our publication of a NAV per share (in which case the value of the asset will be the contractual purchase price of the asset). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we expensed $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of asset management fees payable to our external advisor. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we expensed $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of asset management fees payable to our external advisor.

Our external advisor is responsible for paying all of the expenses it incurs associated with persons employed by the external advisor to the extent that they provide services to us for which our external advisor receives an acquisition, asset management, or debt financing fee, including wages and benefits of the applicable personnel. Instead of reimbursing our external advisor for specific expenses paid or incurred in connection with providing services to us, we pay our external advisor an administrative services fee, which is an allocation of a portion of the actual costs that the external advisor paid or incurred providing these services to us (the “Administrative Services Reimbursement”). The Administrative Services Reimbursement is intended to reimburse the external advisor for all its costs associated with providing services to us.

For the period January 1, 2018 through June 10, 2018, the Administrative Services Reimbursement was up to $1.3 million annually, pro-rated for the period. For the period June 11, 2018 through June 10, 2019, the Administrative Services Reimbursement was up to $1.29 million. On June 10, 2019, the advisory management agreements were extended an additional year through June 10, 2020. For the period June 11, 2019 through June 10, 2020, the Administrative Services Reimbursement is up to $1.31 million. The Administrative Services Reimbursement is payable in four equal quarterly installments within 45 days of the end of each calendar quarter. In addition, under the various advisory management agreements, we are to reimburse the external advisor for certain due diligence services provided in connection with asset acquisitions and dispositions and debt financings separately from the Administrative Services Reimbursement. We incurred and expensed $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, of such costs for administrative services and due diligence services.

Notwithstanding the fees and cost reimbursements payable to our external advisor pursuant to our advisory management agreement, under our charter we may not reimburse the external advisor for any amount by which our operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (i) 2% of our average invested assets, or (ii) 25% of our net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts, or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of our assets for that period unless a majority of our independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2019, our total operating expenses (including the asset management fee) exceeded the limit on total operating expenses; however, our independent directors determined the excess expenses were justified primarily as a result of the timing of the redeployment of our cash proceeds from asset sales and financings.

Property Manager

The Company engaged an affiliate of Lightstone (the “Lightstone Manager”) pursuant to a property management and leasing agreement. The fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Lightstone Manager are substantially the same as the fees earned by and expenses reimbursed to the Behringer Manager. The following discussion describes the fees and expenses payable to our affiliated property manager and its respective affiliates under both the various property management and leasing agreements.

Advance from Advisor

On March 16, 2020, the Advisor provided an advance of our properties which is 4.0% of gross revenues of the properties managed by our property manager. We pay our property manager an oversight fee equal to 0.5% of the gross revenues of the property managed for any property for which we contract directly with a third-party property manager.  In no event will our property manager or its affiliates receive both a property management fee and an oversight fee with respect to any particular property.  In the event we own a property through a joint venture that does not pay our property manager directly for its services, we will pay our property manager a management fee or oversight fee, as applicable, based only on our economic interest in the property.   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred and expensed property management fees or oversight fees$25.0 million to the related-party property managerCompany, of which $15.0 million was subsequently repaid on March 31, 2020. The outstanding balance bears interest at a fixed-rate of 5.00%. Approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For bothof interest was incurred on the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred and expensed property management fees or oversight fees to the related-party property manager of $0.1 million.

We pay our property manager a construction management fee in an amount not to exceed 5% of all hard construction costs incurred in connection with, but not limited to capital repairs and improvements, major building reconstruction and tenant improvements, if such affiliate supervises construction performed by or on behalf of us or our affiliates. We incurred no construction management fees foradvance during the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020.  As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding advance balance plus accrued interest totaled approximately $10.1 million and 2018.is presented as Advance from Advisor on the consolidated balance sheet.

We are dependent on our external advisor and our property manager for certain services that are essential to us, including asset disposition decisions, property management and leasing services, and other general administrative responsibilities.  In the event that these companies were unable to provide us with their respective services, we would be required to obtain such services from other sources.

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 participated 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 as of June 30, 2019, 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,As of March 31, 2020, our investments include properties (multifamilyincluded multifamily and student housing communities and an office building) and a mezzanine loan.note receivable. All of our current investments are located in the United States.

Our common stock is not We 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 $38.6 million and marketable securities, available for sale of $5.4 million as of June 30, 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 distributions, if any, authorized by our board of directors, (d) funding of our mezzanine loan and (e) other real estate or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet the cash needs for these items with our available cash as well as our future cash flow from operations, proceeds received from potential asset sales and/or new borrowings. 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.

 

Current Environment

Our operating results are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, and recession.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of the illness caused by the virus have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel. In addition, to our debt obligations,all the states where we consider other factors in evaluating our liquidity. For example,operate properties and have real-estate related investments have reacted to the extent our portfolio is concentratedCOVID-19 pandemic by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in certain geographic regions andplace” rules, restrictions on types of assets, downturns relating generallybusiness that may continue to such regions and assetsoperate and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that may result in tenants defaulting on their lease obligations at a numbercontinue. Many states have recently announced guidelines to reduce certain 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.these restrictions.

We may, but areOur consolidated portfolio of properties currently consists of seven multi-family apartment complexes and one student housing complex. Despite current restrictions and mitigation strategies, our multi-family properties have not required to, establish capital reserves from cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments, or net sales proceedsyet seen any significant impact from the saleCOVID-19 pandemic. However, our student housing complex, which consists of the River Club Apartments and the Townhomes at River Club, are located in Athens, Georgia and principally serve as “off-campus” lodging for students attending the University of Georgia, which has transitioned to online instruction for the remainder of its Spring 2020 semester and its other course offerings throughout the summer. Leases for the River Club Apartments and Townhomes at River Club generally have a term of one year from August through July. Our student housing complex is located “off-campus” and its tenants have not been forced to vacate. However, if the current COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation strategies extend beyond the summer, the University of Georgia may decide to continue offering only online instruction to its students in lieu of “on-campus” classes which could adversely impact leasing demand, occupancy levels and operating results of tour student housing complex for future periods. Additionally, our note receivable relates to a development project which is subject to similar restrictions and risks.

The extent to which our business may be affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, including its duration, spread and treatment, and related travel advisories and restrictions, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If our properties and other investments.  Capital reservesreal estate-related investments are typically utilizednegatively impacted in future periods for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions,an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) demand for our student housing complex declines, and major(iii) the borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the outstanding note receivable; our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. While we have implemented various cost reduction strategies, including the deferral of certain non-critical capital expenditures.  Alternatively, a lender may establish its own criteria for escrowexpenditures, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will fully mitigate the potential adverse impact of capital reserves.any lost revenue and income.

 

These and other market and economic challenges could materially affect (i) the value and performance of our investments, (ii) our ability to pay future distributions, if any, (iii) the availability or terms of financings, (iv) our ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (v) our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when contractually due.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million and marketable securities, available for sale of $5.5 million as of March 31, 2020. 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) tender offers and/or redemptions of shares of our common stock, (d) distributions, if any, to our shareholders, and (e) selective acquisitions and/or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet our cash needs with our cash on hand and cash flow from operations. However, to the extent that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to cover our cash needs, we may use proceeds from additional borrowings and/or selective asset sales to fund such needs. 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.

Autumn Breeze Apartments

On March 17, 2020, we completed the acquisition ofresult280-unit multifamily property located in Noblesville, Indiana (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of certainapproximately $43.0 million, excluding closing and other related factors, includingtransaction costs. In connection with the tighteningacquisition, our Company paid the Advisor an aggregate of underwriting standards by lendersapproximately $0.8 million in acquisition fees and credit rating agencies, macro-economic issues related to fiscal, tax and regulatory policies, and global financial issues.  Shouldacquisition expense reimbursements.

Gardens Medical Pavilion

On January 15, 2020, we completed the overall costdisposition of borrowings increase, either by increases in the index rates or by increases in lender spreads,Gardens Medical Pavilion for a contractual sales price of $24.3 million. In connection with the disposition of the Gardens Medical Pavilion, 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 andrecognized 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 impactgain on the valuesale of real estate investments andinvestment property of approximately $5.5 million during the revenues, income or cash flow fromfirst quarter of 2020. Approximately $12.6 million of the operationsproceeds were used towards the repayment in full of real properties anda mortgage loans.loan secured by the Gardens Medical Pavilion.

 

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 new 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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our outstanding notes payable were $209.7$213.1 million, net of deferred financing fees of $3.5 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.4%4.3%. As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had notes payable of $139.0$183.8 million, net of deferred financing fees of $2.4$3.0 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.3%4.1%.

Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a ten-year $29.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan”) scheduled to mature on April 1, 2030. The Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan bears interest at 3.39% and requires monthly interest-only payments through March 31, 2023 and monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $0.1 million thereafter, through its stated maturity. The Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan is collateralized by the Autumn Breeze Apartments. In connection with the Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan, our Company paid the Advisor an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in financing fees.

 

Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants.  These covenants include, among other things, maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios, and liquidity.  We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Lakes of Margate (outstanding principal balance of $13.5 million as of June 30, 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 are unable to refinance the outstanding indebtedness at favorable terms, we will look to repay the outstanding balance with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales.

One of our principal short-term and long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt.  The following table provides information with respect to the contractual maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our indebtedness as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands).

Tender Offer

We commenced a tender offer on December 17, 2019, pursuant to which we offered to acquire up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.75 per share, or $15.5 million in the aggregate (the “Tender Offer”).

The Tender Offer terminated on February 28, 2020, and a total of 2,183,888 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer as of such date, an amount that exceeded the maximum number of shares we offered to purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, we subsequently repurchased a total of 2.0 million shares at a price of $7.75 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $15.5 million in April 2020.

Because the amount of repurchase requests exceeded the maximum number of shares we had offered to repurchase, we repurchased shares on a pro-rata basis, subject to “odd lot” priority as described in the Tender Offer. Excluding the stockholders eligible for “odd lot” priority that were not be subject to proration, approximately 91.58% of the number of shares tendered by each remaining stockholder who participated in the Tender Offer were repurchased by us.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had eight real estate investments (four(five wholly owned properties and fourthree properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan).

Additionally, on January 4, 2019 we received proceeds of approximately $10.9 million representing the minimum amount payable for our participation in the residual interests of our equity method investment in Prospect Park. Any additional amounts received will be recognized upon receipt.

 

On December 28, 2018,January 15, 2020, we disposed of 22 Exchangethe Gardens Medical Pavilion (the “Disposition”) and the disposition of this property did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results.

As of June 30, 2018, we had eight real estate investments, seven of which were consolidated (one wholly owned property and six properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and our equity method investment in Prospect Park. 

Our results of operations for the respective periods presented reflect increases in most categories principally resulting from our acquisition and disposition activities. The increases from the Acquisitions are partially offset by the decrease resulting from the Disposition.

Revenues.  Rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were $9.5$9.4 million, an increase of $2.8$0.9 million, compared to $6.7$8.5 million for the same period in 2018.2019.  Excluding the effect of our acquisition and disposition activities, our rental revenues increased by $0.4 million for our Same Store properties. The increase in rental revenues for our Same Store Properties was generally attributable to higherproperties primarily as a result of increased occupancy at our Same Store properties during the 2019 period, particularly at Flats at Fishers ($0.2 million of the total increase).and average monthly rent per unit/sq. ft.

 

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were $3.1$3.0 million, an increase of $0.6$0.2 million, compared to $2.5$2.8 million for the same period in 2018.2019.

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.

23

 

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT's operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under 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 depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

25

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

24

 

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

 

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

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

2)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
3)Management believes that adjusting for 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).

(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 $646 and $1,057, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Distributions

 

We made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT to 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, if any, are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on itstheir analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. TheseSuch 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. TheOur board of director’sdirectors’ decisions will be substantially influenced by thetheir 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.

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.

 

Other than as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements, ourOur 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 April 1, 2019.March 30, 2020.

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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Share Redemption Program

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. Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to us, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. Our board of directors can amend the provisions of our share redemption program at any time without the approval of our stockholders.

From our inception through December 31, 2018, we had redeemed 3.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $6.97 per share. For the six months endedpreviously targeted June 30, 2019, we repurchased 621,494 shares2023 as the commencement of common stock for $7.83 per share, pursuant to our share repurchase program.

The termsa liquidity event, however, on which we redeemed shares prior 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.

Prior to July 1, 2018, the per share redemption price for Ordinary Redemptions and Exceptional Redemptions was equal to the lesser of 80% and 90%, respectively, of (i) the then current estimated NAV per Share 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).

On AugustJanuary 9, 2017,2020, our board of directors adopted a Fourth Amendedelected to extend the targeted timeline until June 30, 2028 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended Share Redemption Program”)liquidity options for our stockholders. We can provide no assurances as to be 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 confinement 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 percentageactual timing of the estimated NAV per Share ascommencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation 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 for redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by our board of directors, and no less frequently than annually.Company. We will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediatelyseek stockholder approval prior to the date of redemption.  In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10.0 million in any twelve-month period.  Any redemption requests are honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available and are not honored on a first come, first served basis.liquidating our entire portfolio.

 

On December 28, 2018, our board of directors adopted a Fifth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Fifth Amended Share Redemption Program”) which became effective on January 31, 2019. The only material change to the program was to change the measurement period for the limitations on the number and dollar amount of shares that may be accepted for redemption from a rolling 12 month-period to a calendar year. On March 26, 2019, our board of directors set the cash available for redemptions at $2.5 million for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019. On April 15, 2019, the Company redeemed approximately 0.3 million shares of our common stock, for quarterly period ended December 31, 2018, for approximately $2.4 million. On May 9, 2019, our board of directors set the cash available for redemptions at $2.5 million per quarter, for each of the quarterly periods ending June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019. On May 31, 2019, the Company redeemed approximately 0.3 million shares of our common stock, for quarterly period ended March 31, 2018, for approximately $2.5 million.Item 3.Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
