2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies underlying the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are those set forth in the Company's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019. Additional information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies related to the accompanying interim financial statements is as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary by management to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of financial results for the full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020.26, 2021.

Consolidation

We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through consideration of the substantive terms of the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Investments in entities in which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are presented under the equity method. Investments in entities that we do not control and over which we do not exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. Our ability to correctly assess our influence and/or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated VIEs are those for which the Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the returns from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has determined that the Operating Partnership is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company's only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, therefore, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership.

Risks and Uncertainties

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, public health officials have recommended and mandated precautions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including prohibitions on congregating in heavily populated areas and shelter-in-place orders or similar measures. A number of our tenants have been impacted by such measures as they either temporarily closed down their operations or are scaling back activity in order to comply, causing a strain on their ability to generate revenue. As such, our future operating results may be adversely impacted by our tenants’ inability to generate revenue and pay their rent due as a result of the shut-downs and other actions taken to contain or treat the impact of COVID-19. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

The state of the overall economy beyond the current impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic can also significantly impact the Company’s operational performance and thus impact its financial position. Should the Company experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to its stockholders, service debt, or meet other financial obligations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes significant estimates regarding the allocation of tangible and intangible assets forof real estate acquisitions, impairments of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and its common stock warrantwarrants liability. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Segments

The Company has one reportable segment–industrial properties. These properties have similar economic characteristics and also meet the other criteria that permit the properties to be aggregated into one reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables and Rental Revenue Components

Minimum rental revenue from real estate operations is recognized on a straight-line basis. The straight-line rent calculation on leases includes the effects of rent concessions and scheduled rent increases, and the calculated straight-line rent income is recognized over the lives of the individual leases. In accordance to ASC 842, we assess the collectability of lease receivables (including future minimum rental payments) both at commencement and throughout the lease term. If our assessment of collectability changes during the lease term, any difference between the revenue that would have been received under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected will be recognized as a current period adjustment to rental revenue. Rental revenue associated with leases where collectability has been deemed less than probable is recognized on a cash basis in accordance towith ASC 842. Management fee revenue represents management fees earned from the unconsolidated joint venture.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The Company maintains cash and restricted cash, which includes tenant security deposits and cash collateral for its borrowings discussed in Note 5,6, cash held in escrow for real estate tax, insurance, and tenant capital improvementsimprovement and leasing commissions, in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company has not realized any losses in such cash accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significantmitigates its risk of loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies various valuation approaches in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:

Level 1—1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2—2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3—3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc.

(all dollar amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 inputs are applied in determining the fair value of warrants to purchase common stock in the amount of $643 and $293396 at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019, as2020, respectively, discussed in Note 6.7.

Financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, cash held in escrow and reserves, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.liabilities are considered Level 1 in fair value hierarchy. The amounts reported on the balance sheet for these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities and prevailing interest rates.

The fair value of our secured debt and borrowings under line of credit was estimated using Level 3 inputs by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, using discount rates that best reflect current market interest rates for financings with similar characteristics and credit quality, and assuming each loan is outstanding through its maturity.

The following table summarizes the aggregate principal outstanding under the Company’s secured debt and borrowings under line of creditindebtedness and the corresponding estimate of fair value as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019.2020:

Stock Based Compensation

The Company grants stock-based compensation awards to our employees and directors typically in the form of restricted shares of common stock. The Company measures stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognizes the expense ratably over the vesting period. Forfeitures of unvested shares are recognized in the period the forfeiture occurs.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net lossearnings (loss) per common share as the Company has issued shares that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net lossearnings (loss) per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share since the Company does not have any common stock equivalents such as stock options. The warrants are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as they are anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

ConsolidationUnconsolidated Joint Venture

Investment in unconsolidated joint venture represents a non-controlling equity interest in a joint venture we entered into during October 2020. The Company’sCompany determined that the venture is not a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. As a result, the Company used the voting interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures. We have concluded that we have the ability to exercise significant influence, however, do not have control or kick out rights and accordingly is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, we initially record our investment at cost, and subsequently adjust for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets will be amortized as an adjustment to equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate over the life of the related asset. Our net equity investment in the joint venture is reflected within the condensed consolidated financialbalance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint venture is included within the condensed consolidated statements include its financial statements, and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and controlling interests. Interests in the Operating Partnership held by unrelated 3rd parties are identified as the “Non-controlling interest”. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented.operations.

New Accounting PronouncementsStandards Recently Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures required by entities regarding recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture

On October 23, 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership entered into a $150,000 equity joint venture agreement (the “MIR JV”) with an unrelated third-party partner (the “MIR JV Partner”). The purpose of the MIR JV agreement is to acquire value-add/opportunistic industrial properties that meet certain criteria as outlined within the MIR JV agreement. The Operating Partnership owns a 20% interest in the MIR JV. The Operating Partnership is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the MIR JV, its subsidiaries and properties and is entitled to an annual asset management fee equal to 1% of total equity contributed to the MIR JV by the partners paid quarterly as well as a promote based on return thresholds as set forth in the MIR JV agreement.The MIR JV completed its initial investment of a 28-property portfolio of industrial properties totaling approximately 2.3 million square feet in metropolitan Memphis, Tennessee on December 17, 2020 for $86,000. The initial investment was funded by the MIR JV via $30,000 cash equity contributions to the MIR JV on a 20%/80% pro-rata basis and a 7-year secured mortgage for $56,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized fees of $83 from the MIR JV related to asset management services we provided to the MIR JV.

5. Leases

As a Lessor

We lease our properties to tenants under agreements classified as operating leases. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many of our leases include the recovery of certain operating expenses such as common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes and utilities from our tenants. The recovery of such operating expenses areis recognized in Rentalrental revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Some of our tenant leases contain options to extend leases at a fair market rate and may also include options to terminate. A minor number of the Company’s tenant leases are subject to changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”).

As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, undiscounted future minimum fixed rental receipts due under non-cancellable operating leases for each of the next five years and total thereafter were as follows (in thousands):

In order to be considered a COVID-19 related concession, cash flows may be less than or equal to those prior to the concession, but not substantially greater.

The Company uses the two-class method of computing earnings per common share in which participating securities are included within the basic EPSearnings per share (“EPS”) calculation. The amount allocated to participating securities is according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). The restricted stock does not have any participatory rights in undistributed earnings. The unvested shares of restricted stock are accounted for as participating securities as they contain non-forfeitablenonforfeitable rights to dividends.

In periods where there is a net loss, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. The Company’s potential dilutive securities at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 include the 311,661354,230 shares of common stock warrants and 148,182285,225 shares of restricted common stock. The stock warrants and restricted common stock have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as the effect of including them would reduce the net loss per share.

ItemITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies or prospects will be attained or achieved and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Additionally, unforeseen factors emerge from time to time, and we cannot predict which factors will arise or their ultimate impact on our business or the extent to which any such factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. One of these factors is the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the impact of which is difficult to fully assess at this time due to, among other factors, continued uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of efforts to contain the spread of the virus and its resulting direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and may be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation:

 uncertainty surrounding the social and economic impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic, including, without limitation, its impact on the Company’s ability to pay common stock dividends and/or the amount and frequency of those dividends;
 the competitive environment in which we operate;
 real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets;
 decreased rental rates or increasing vacancy rates;
 potential defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
 potential bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants;
 acquisition risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections;
 the timing of acquisitions and dispositions;
 potential natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires or floods;
 national, international, regional and local economic conditions;
 the general level of interest rates;
 potential changes in the law or governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those laws and regulations, including changes in real estate and zoning or REIT tax laws, and potential increases in real property tax rates;
 financing risks, including the risks that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest and we may be unable to refinance our existing debt upon maturity or obtain new financing on attractive terms or at all;
 lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;
 our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT;
 litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and
 possible environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto for the periods ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the “2019“2020 10-K“) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2020,26, 2021, including the audited historical financial statements and related notes thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 20192020 and 20182019 contained therein, which is accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Overview

We areThe Company is a full service, vertically integrated, self-administered and self-managed REITreal estate investment trust strategically focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of single and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties, including distribution centers, warehouses, and light industrial properties. The Company’s portfolio at June 30, 2020 consists of 96and small bay industrial properties, (the “Company Portfolio”) comprising of 125 buildings located in eleven statesprimary and secondary markets within the main industrial, distribution and logistics corridors of the United States. As of March 31, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiaries, owned 111 industrial properties comprising 145 buildings with an aggregate of approximately 2024.6 million rentable square feet leased to 323 different tenants.feet.

17 

Our strategy is to acquire, own and manage single and multi-tenant Class B industrial properties located primarily in secondary markets across the U.S.; however, we may make opportunistic acquisitions of Class A industrial properties or industrial properties located in primary markets. We seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders through a combination of dividends and capital appreciation.

17 

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations

Business and Strategy

Our core investment strategy is to acquire primarily Class B industrial properties predominantlylocated in primary and secondary markets across the U.S. We expect to acquire these properties through third-party purchases and structured sale-leasebacks where we believe we can achieve high initial yields and strong ongoing cash-on-cash returns. In addition, we may make opportunistic acquisitions of Class A industrial properties or industrial properties in primary markets that offer similar return characteristics.returns

Our target markets are comprised primarily oflocated in primary and secondary markets because we believe these markets tend to have less occupancy and rental rate volatility and less buyer competition relative to primarygateway markets. We also believe that the systematic aggregation of such properties will result in a diversified portfolio that will produce sustainable risk-adjusted returns. Future results of operations may be affected, either positively or negatively, by our ability to effectively execute this strategy.

We also intend to pursuecontinue pursuing joint venture arrangements with institutional partners which could provide management fee income as well as residual profit-sharing income. Such joint ventures may involve investing in industrial assets that would be characterized as opportunistic or value-add investments. These may involve development or re-developmentredevelopment strategies that may require significant up-front capital expenditures, lengthy lease-up periods and result in inconsistent cash flows. As such, these properties’ risk profiles and return metrics would likely differ from the non-joint venture properties that we target for acquisition.

Impact of COVID-19

While we are not able to estimate the ultimate impactcontinuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results at this time, the following discussion provides certain information regarding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as of July 31, 2020 and an overview of management’s efforts to respond to anticipated impacts. While our results for the first and second quarter of 20202021, were in line with our expectations, the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant and wide-ranging efforts of international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities in regions across the United States and the world to combat the spread of the virus, including substantial restrictions on the daily activities of individuals and the operations of many businesses, have significantlyhas reduced economic activity throughout the country and increased volatility in the financial markets, which could negatively impact our results of operations during the remainder of 2020 and in future periods.

As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the economic environment, we expect that such statistical and other information provided below willmay change, potentially significantly, going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, cash flows and financial condition for the third quarter of 2020 and future periods.

 ·WeAs of March 31, 2021, we have received July rent paymentscollected approximately 99.0% of recurring base rents and tenant recoveries billed for approximately 93%the first quarter of our portfolio;2021; however, collections to-date may not be indicative of collections in any future period.
 ·We have received some rent relief requests from tenants at our properties, most often in the form of rent deferral requests, including some from tenants that we believe are being opportunistic. As of June 30, 2020, the Company hasMarch 31, 2021, we entered into a small number of suchsingle COVID-19 related rent deferral concessions representing 1.6% or $1.250.05% of $98.6 million of ABR.annualized base rent (“ABR”). ABR is defined/calculated as the annualized monthly contractual base rent per the leases,lease, excluding any rent abatements, as of June 30, 2020. The majorityMarch 31, 2021. All deferred rent concessions the Company granted during 2020 were fully repaid as of the deferred balances are scheduled to be paid by DecemberMarch 31, 2020.2021.

In an effort to stabilize our operations and attempt to manage the impact of COVID-19, we have takencontinue to take a number of proactive measures to maintain the strength of our business, including the following:

 ·The health and safety of our employees and their families is a top priority. We have adapted our operations to protect employees, including by implementing a work from home policy, and our systems have enabled our team to work seamlessly.
 ·We are in frequent communication with our tenants and we are assisting them in identifying state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including stimulus funds that may be available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020.
 ·We have approximately $19.2$23.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $29.9$102 million available on our line of credit as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 to address near-term working capital and other liquidity needs.
·We have delayed non-essential capital and operating expenses that do not impact the safety of our tenants or our ability to lease and/or renew leasing space.

18 

Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

We receive income primarily from rental revenue from our properties. The amount of rental revenue generated by the Company Portfolio depends principally on the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, our ability to lease currently available space and space that becomes available as a result of lease expirations and on the rental rates at our properties. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company Portfolio was approximately 95.1%96.6% occupied. Our occupancy rate is impacted by general market conditions in the geographic areas which our properties are located and the financial condition of tenants in our target markets.

18 

Scheduled Lease Expirations

Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and will be affected by economic and competitive conditions in the markets in which we operate and by the desirability of our individual properties. During the period from JulyApril 1, 20202021 through to December 31, 2022,2023, an aggregate of 36.8%37.5% of the annualized base rent leases in the Company Portfolio are scheduled to expire, which we believe will provide us an opportunity to adjust below market rates as market conditions continue to improve.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, leases for space totaling 2,222,140 square feet (11.1% of the Company Portfolio) either was subject to renewal or expired. Of this space 1,391,948 was renewed (62.6%), 259,147 square feet was leased to new tenants (11.1%) and 571,045 square feet went vacant. Additionally, 90,232 square feet of previously vacant square feet was leased to new tenants. As of June 30, 2020, the vacancy rate of the Company Portfolio was 4.9%.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and six months ended June 30, 2020, lease negotiation efforts resulted in 85 leases commencing with durations in excess of six months encompassing 4,104,282 square feet and 7 leases commencing with a duration of less than 6 months encompassing 497,000 square feet. Renewed leases made up 67.6% of the square footage covered by the 85 leases in excess of 6 months, and the rent under the renewed leases increased an average of 7.3% over the prior leases. Leases to new tenants comprised the other 32.4% of the square footage covered by the 85 leases in excess of 6 months, and the rent under the new leases increased an average of 23.2% over the prior leases. The rental rates under all of the 85 leases in excess of 6 months entered into during 2019 and 2020, increased by an average of 11.9% over the rates of the prior leases.

The table below reflects certain data about our new and renewed leases with terms of greater than six months executed in the year ended December 31, 2019 and the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Conditions in Our Markets

The Company Portfolio is located primarily in various primary and secondary markets inwithin the eastern halfmain industrial distribution and logistics corridors of the U.S.United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters in these markets are likely to affect our overall performance.

Property Expenses

Our rental expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of the Company Portfolio, property expenses are controlled, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross lease expense reimbursement provisions in tenant leases. However, the terms of our tenant leases vary and in some instances the leases may provide that we are responsible for certain property expenses. Accordingly, our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property expenses to our tenants.

General and Administrative Expenses

We expect to incur increased general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance and public reporting and compliance. In addition, we anticipate that our staffing levels will increase from current levels as of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 during the subsequent 12 to 24 months and, as a result, our general and administrative expenses will increase further.

19 

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes significant estimates regarding the allocation of tangible and intangible assets or business acquisitions, impairments of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and its common stock warrants liability. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 202026, 2021 and the notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve the most judgment and complexity:

 ·Investments in Real estate property acquisitions, capitalization and depreciationEstate
 ·Income taxes
·Amortization of deferred lease intangibles – assets and liabilities
·Impairment of Long-lived assets
 ·Consolidation

19 

Accordingly, we believe the policies set forth in our 20192020 10-K are critical to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations. If actual results or events differ materially from the estimates, judgments and assumptions used by us in applying these policies, our reported financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

Update on Dividend Policy

Given the Company’s continued focus on its balance sheet and liquidity position, our Board of Directors revised the common stock dividend policy to adjust the quarterly dividend, if declared, to $0.20 per diluted share, or an annualized rate of $0.80 per diluted share, effective with the second quarter dividend declared in June 2020. The Board of Directors and management will continue to assess the Company’s common stock dividend policy in light of the uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 and the requirements to maintain the Company’s REIT compliance.  Accordingly, there can be no assurances as to the timing or amount of dividends for future periods.

Results of Operations (amounts in thousands)

Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of property acquisitions and dispositions completed during the comparative reporting periods. Our Total Portfolio represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods. To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions, dispositions and dispositionsother, and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our Same Store Properties Portfolio and Acquisitions/Dispositions.

Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other.

For the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, we define the Same Store Portfolio as a subset of our Total Portfolio and includes

properties that were wholly-owned by us for the entire period presented. We define Acquisitions/Dispositions as any properties that were

acquired or sold during the period from April 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we define the Same Store Portfolio as a subset of our Total Portfolio and includes properties that were wholly-owned by us for the entire period presented. We define Acquisitions/Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other as any properties that were acquired, sold or soldheld for development or repurposing during the period from January 1, 20192020 through June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands)

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we disclosesupplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as NOI, EBITDAre,EBITDAre, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, each of which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measure” set forthamong others. We provide information related to NOI, EBITDAre, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO both because such industry analysts are interested in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of whysuch information, and because our management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.

None of NOI, EBITDAre,EBITDAre, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are important performance measures. NOI, EBITDAre, FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are factors used by management in measuring our performance. Neither NOI, EBITDAre, FFO, Core FFO or AFFO should be considered as an alternative toa substitute for net income, (determinedor any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance furtherGAAP. Neither NOI, EBITDAre,EBITDAre, FFO, andCore FFO or AFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition torepresents cash flowsgenerated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as presented inan alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our condensed consolidated financial statements.liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

NOI

We consider net operating income, or NOI, to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income in that it helps both investors and management understand the core operations of our properties. We define NOI as total revenue (including rental revenue and tenant reimbursements, and other income)reimbursements) less property-level operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, and other non-operating items.

The following is a reconciliation from historical reported net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to NOI:

EBITDAre

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). EBITDAre represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the sale of rental property, and loss on impairments. We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company as it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our historical net loss to EBITDArefor the periods presented:

  For the Three Months  For the Six Months

FFO

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating performance as it is based on a net income analysis of property portfolio performance that excludes non-cash items such as depreciation. The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values rise and fall with market conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT, using historical accounting for depreciation, could be less informative. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a white paper restating the definition of FFO. The purpose of the restatement was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO, but to clarify existing NAREIT guidance. The restated definition of FFO is as follows: Net Income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding: (i) Depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) Gain and losses from change in control, and (iv) 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.

We define FFO, consistent with the NAREIT definition. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. Core FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders represents FFO reduced by dividends paid (or declared) to holders of our preferred stock.stock and excludes certain non-cash operating expenses such as impairment on real estate lease, unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of warrants and loss on extinguishment of debt. As with FFO, our reported Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Core FFO $11,191  $8,212 

AFFO

Adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, is presented in addition to Core FFO. AFFO is defined as Core FFO, excluding certain non-cash operating revenues and expenses, acquisition and transaction related costs for transactions not completed and recurring capitalized expenditures. Recurring capitalized expenditures include expenditures required to maintain and re-tenant our properties, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. AFFO further adjusts Core FFO for certain other non-cash items, including the amortization or accretion of above or below market rents included in revenues, straight line rent adjustments, impairment losses, non-cash equity compensation and non-cash interest expense.

We believe AFFO provides a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance because it provides a consistent comparison of our operating performance across time periods that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of our properties. As a result, we believe that the use of AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our operating performance.

22 

As with Core FFO, our reported AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO, should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of our funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We intend to make reserve allocationscontributions as necessary to aid our objective of preserving capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of our properties we acquire in the future. If reserves and any other available income become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or liquidating our investments.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our properties, including:

 ·property expenses that are not borne by our tenants under our leases;
 ·Principalprincipal and interest expense on outstanding indebtedness;
 ·general and administrative expenses; and
 ·capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

In addition, we will require funds for future dividends required to be paid on our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.

We intend to satisfy our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash, cash flow from operating activities and the net proceeds of any potential future offerings.

23 

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, future issuances of equity and debt securities, property dispositions and joint venture transactions, and, in connection with acquisitions of additional properties, the issuance of OP units.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create social and economic uncertainty for the Company, its tenants, and stakeholders. Given the wide-ranging impacts of the pandemic, coupled with external factors that are outside the control of the Company, the extent of such impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be dependent on various future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be readily predicted. The Company continues to monitor potential liquidity restraints resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the evaluation and potential of delayed non-essential capital and operating expenditures that dodoes not impact the safety or ability to lease and/or renew space and maintaining sufficient availability under our revolving line of credit. The updated dividend policy effective with the second quarter of 2020 has provided the Company with additional liquidity to fund its short and long-term needs.

As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had available liquidity of approximately $49.1$125.6 million, comprised of $19.2$23.6 million in cash and $29.9cash equivalents and $102 million available on our line of credit. The Company anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity and access to capital resources to meet its current obligations and to meet any scheduled debt maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2021, we have an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture with our ownership percentage at 20%. We exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the entity. As a result, we account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate carrying amount of non-recourse debt including both our and our partners’ share incurred by the joint venture was approximately $56,000 and $56,000, respectively, (of which our proportionate share is approximately $11,200 and $11,200 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively). The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.table below summarizes the outstanding debt of the joint venture properties at March 31, 2021.

Inflation

The majority of our leases are either triple net or provide for tenant reimbursement for costs related to real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and tenant payment of taxes and expenses described above. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK (amounts in thousands)

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Interest rate exposure relates primarily to the effect of interest rate changes on borrowings outstanding under our Line of Credit Agreement, which bear interest at a variable rate.

At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $151,100$198,000 of outstanding variable rate debt, which was subject to a weighted average interest rate of 2.80%2.10% during the three months ended June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Based on the variable rate borrowings outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we estimate that had the average interest rate on our weighted average borrowings increased by 100 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, our interest expense for the quarter would have increased by approximately $431.$436. This estimate assumes the interest rate of each borrowing is raised by 100 basis points. The impact on future interest expense as a result of future changes in interest rates will depend largely on the gross amount of our borrowings at that time.

Interest Rate Risk (amounts in thousands)

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging requires us to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income, which is a component of stockholders’ equity. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company has no derivative or hedging contracts.

No assurance can be given that any future hedging activities by us will have the desired beneficial effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
