2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Impairment Assessment
The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as declines in a property’s operating performance, deteriorating market conditions, or environmental or legal concerns bring recoverability of the carrying value of one or more assets into question. When qualitative factors indicate the possibility of impairment, the total undiscounted cash flows of the property, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the property. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value to fair value, calculated as the discounted net cash flows of the property.

Current expected credit losses on real estate loan investments

The Company carries its investments in real estate loans at amortized cost that consists of drawn amounts on the loans, net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and current expected credit losses.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, that replaced the incurred loss model with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost, and requires entities to record credit allowances for total expected future losses on financial assets at the outset of each loan. For each loan in which the Company is the lender, the amount of protection afforded to the Company is estimated to be the excess of the future estimated fair market value of the developed property over the developer’s related obligations (including the Company’s mezzanine or member loan(s)), other loans senior to the Company's, the expected future balance of accrued interest and any other obligations related to the project’s funding. The excess represents the amount of equity dollars in each real estate project plus profit expected to be realized by the developer on the project, both of which are in a subordinate position to the Company's real estate loan investments. This numeric result is expressed as a percentage of the property's expected future fair value (a "loss reserve ratio"), which is then pooled into ranges of loss percentages that was derived from company-specific loss experience. The product of this indicated loss reserve ratio and the expected fully-funded balance (inclusive of an expected future balance of accrued interest) is the initial total expected credit loss reserve. Over the life of the loan, the initial reserve is reevaluated for potential reduction at the achievement of certain milestones in construction and lease-up progress as the project approaches completion and the loan approaches maturity, given no unforeseen degradation in project performance or failure to adhere to the terms of the loan by the borrower/developer. Finally, the loss reserve may be further refinedpresent sublease income received by the Company due to any subjective qualitative factors deemed pertinent and worthyfor a portion of reflection.
The Company implemented this new guidance by applying this model to its existing portfolio of real estate loan investments using the modified retrospective method and in doing so, recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2020. See note 4.

The Company's notes and lines of credit receivable are unsecured and so are assessed for expected future credit loss by individually assessing the expected profit from current development projects in progress, as well as the viability of the personal guarantees of the borrowers.

The Company's real estate loan investments are collateralized by real estate development projects and secured further by guaranties of repayment from one or more of the borrowers. The Company's lines of credit receivable are typically only collateralized by personal guaranties, but occasionally may be cross-collateralized by interests in other real estate projects. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan, and/or (iii) the property’s liquidation value. The Company also evaluates the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub‑market in which the borrower operates are considered. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by management, utilizing various data sources, including periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, capitalization and discount rates and site inspections.

See the Revenue Recognition section of this Note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.

Purchase Option Terminations

The Company will occasionally receive a purchase option on the underlying property in conjunction with extending a real estate loan investment to the developer of the property. The purchase option is often at a discount to the to-be-agreed-upon market value of the property, once stabilized. If the Company elects not to exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, it may negotiate to sell the purchase option back to the developer and receive a termination fee in consideration. The amount of the termination fee is accounted for as additional interest on the real estate loan investment and is recognized as interest revenue utilizing the effective interest method over the period beginning from the date of election until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property.

Revenue Recognition

Multifamily communities and student housing properties

Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents of the Company's multifamily communities, which is over the terms of the rental agreements, typically of nine to fifteen months’ duration. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and recognizes revenue from residents when collectability is deemed probable, in accordance with ASC 842-30-25-12.

The Company evaluated the various ancillary revenues within its multifamily leases, including resident utility reimbursements. Having met the criteria that (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and associated non-lease components are the same and (ii) that the lease component, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected the practical expedient under Lease Accounting, ASC 842, paragraph 10-15-42A, to elect reporting the lease component and non-lease components as one single component within the rental and other property revenues line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue from utility reimbursements are considered variable lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.

Grocery-anchored shopping centers andcorporate office properties
Our retail leases have original lease terms which generally range from three to seven years for spaces under 5,000 square feet and from ten to twenty years for spaces over 10,000 square feet. Anchor leases generally contain renewal options for one or more additional periods whereas in-line tenant leases may or may not have renewal options. With the exception of anchor leases, the leases generally contain contractual increases in base rent rates over the lease term and the base rent rates for renewal periods are generally based upon the rental rate for the primary term, which may be adjusted for inflation or market conditions. Anchor leases generally do not contain contractual increases in base rent rates over the lease term and the renewal periods. Our leases generally provide for the payment of fixed monthly rentals and may also provide for the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales above a certain threshold level (“percentage rent”). Our leases also generally include tenant reimbursements for common area expenses, insurance, and real estate taxes. Utilities are generally paid by tenants either directly through separate meters or through payment of tenant reimbursements. The foregoing general description of the characteristics of the leases in our centers is not intended to describe all leases and material variations in lease terms may exist.
Our office building leases have original lease terms which generally range from five to fifteen years and generally contain contractual, annual base rental rate escalations ranging from 2% to 3%. These leases may be structured as gross where the tenant’s base rental rate is all inclusive and there is no additional obligation to reimburse building operating expenses, net or NNN where in addition to base rent the tenant is also responsible for its pro rata share of reimbursable building operating expenses, or modified gross where in addition to base rent the tenant is also responsible for its pro rata share of reimbursable building operating expense increases over a base year amount (typically calculated as the actual reimbursable operating expenses in year one of the original lease term).

Base rental revenue from tenants' operating leases is a lease component revenue in the Company's grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue based on "percentage rent" provisions that provide for additional rents that become due upon achievement of specified sales revenue targets (as specified in each lease agreement) is recognized only after the tenant exceeds its specified sales revenue target. Revenue from reimbursements of the tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, or CAM, costs represent non-lease component revenue. Having met the criteria that (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and associated non-lease components are the same and (ii) that the lease component, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases, paragraph 10-15-42A, to elect reporting the lease component and non-lease components as one single component under rental and other property revenues

recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Revenue from reimbursements are considered variable lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. The Company does not record income and offsetting expense for certain variable costs paid directly to third parties by lessees on behalf of lessors.

Non-lease components which do not qualify under the practical expedient primarily include lease termination income and other ancillary revenue (e.g. application fees, license fees, late fees and tenant billbacks). Lease termination revenues are recognized ratably over the revised remaining lease term after giving effect to the termination notice or when tenant vacates and the Company has no further obligations under the lease. Rents and tenant reimbursements collected in advance are recorded as prepaid rent within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluated the collectability of the tenant receivable related to rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and straight-line rent receivables, which represent the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental revenue on a straight-line basis, by taking into consideration the Company's historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and remaining lease terms. In performing a detailed review of each tenant, we determined if the balances were paid in the subsequent month, if if the tenant had requested rent relief in the subsequent month due to COVID-19 circumstances, if the tenant was a credit tenant that was not typically late, and if the tenant had a security deposit on hand. If collection of substantially all of the outstanding balance is not probable, the tenant's rental revenue is recognized on a cash basis and all accrued balances are written off to rental revenue.

The Company evaluates the collectability of these amounts and recognizes revenue related to tenants where collectability is deemed probable, in accordance with ASC 842-30-25-12. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company began recording amounts not deemed probable of collectionspace as a reduction of rental and other property revenues, as applicable.

In April 2020, the FASB 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 COVID-19. Under existing lease guidance, 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 with 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 clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The future impact of the Lease Modification Q&A is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of COVID-19 in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering into such concessions.

The Company may provide grocery-anchored shopping center and office building tenants an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. When the Company is the owner of the leasehold improvements, recognition of rental revenue commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements. However, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date is the date the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements. For our office properties, if the improvement is deemed to be a “landlord asset,” and the tenant funded the tenant improvements, the cost is amortized over the term of the underlying lease with a corresponding recognition of rental revenues. In order to qualify as a landlord asset, the specifics of the tenant’s assets are reviewed, including the Company's approval of the tenant’s detailed expenditures, whether such assets may be usable by other future tenants, whether the Company has consent to alter or remove the assets from the premises and generally remain the Company's property at the end of the lease.

Gains on sales of real estate assets

The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate based on the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the distinct asset, including the carrying amount of any liabilities relieved or assumed by the purchasing counterparty and net of disposition expenses.

Lessee accounting

The Company has evaluated its leases foradjustment against rent expense, which it is the lessee to determine the value of any right of use assets and related lease liabilities. All of these leases qualify as operating leases. The Company has three ground leases related to our office and grocery-anchored shopping center assets, one of which had been recorded at fair value on the Company's balance sheet at acquisition due to a purchase option the Company deemed probable of exercising. These ground leases generally have extended terms (e.g. over twenty years with multiple renewal options) and generally have base rent with CPI-based increases. The Company evaluated its renewal option periods in quantifying its asset and liability related to these ground leases. In determining the value of its right of use asset and lease liability, the Company used discount rates comparable to recent loan rates obtained on comparative properties within its portfolio. The Company is also the lessee of office space for its corporate headquarters and of furniture and office equipment, which generally are three to five years in duration with minimal rent increases. The Company’s right of use asset and related lease liability in accordance with ASC 842-20-30 related to these leases are recorded within the Tenant Receivables and Other Assets and the Security Deposits and Other Liabilities line items of the balance sheet, respectively. Lease expense for ground leases and furniture and office equipment located at the Company's properties is included in the general and administrative expense line on the consolidated statements of operationsoperations. Additionally, an adjustment has been made to present certain expenses such as franchise taxes and insurance claims within property operationsthe real estate taxes and maintenance and expense for office rent and furniture and office equipmentinsurance line on the consolidated statements of operations. These reclassification adjustments had no effect on previously-reported net loss attributable to common stockholders.

New Accounting Pronouncements


StandardDescriptionDate of AdoptionEffect on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326)
ASU 2016-03 ("CECL") changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, which are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost, and requires entities to record credit allowances for financial assets rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than temporary impairment model.January 1, 2020
Implementation of the new guidance on accounting for financial assets was limited to our real estate loan investments. We have developed a model that derives a reserve ratio based upon the amount of financial protection afforded each instrument. For each loan in which we are the lender, the amount of protection afforded to us is estimated to be the excess of the future estimated fair market value of the developed property over the commitment amount of each loan (including other loans senior to the Company’s), inclusive of accrued interest and other related receivables. The excess represents the amount of equity dollars in each real estate project, which are in a subordinate position to our real estate loan investments. We implemented this new guidance using the modified retrospective basis by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2020 of approximately $7.4 million.

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
The new standard enables affected entities to elect from a series of practical expedients designed to ease the transition from referenced base rates within contracts designated to be replaced by Reference Rate Reform.The amendments are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.ASU 2020-04 will potentially be applicable to the Company's variable-rate debt instruments for which the Company is the borrower, which bear interest at a spread over the 1-month London Interbank Offer Rate (1-month LIBOR). Among the practical expedients are the option to elect prospective adjustment of the effective interest rate, foregoing reassessment of any instruments under loan modification rules.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic


The COVID-19 pandemic emerged in December 2019 and has sincethat spread globally, including to every state inthroughout the United States. On March 13,country during 2020 the United States declared a national emergency. Since that time, efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders. The restrictions have resulted in impacts toimpacted earnings for commercial real estate which in turn is expected to affect asset valuations to some degree.degree but has not had a profound widespread negative effect on the valuations of real estate assets. The Company does not consider this event to be a triggering event for purposes of impairment, since overall occupancy rates for the Company’s real estate assets have not materially declined and the Company has continued to collect substantially all rent due. Thus, there is no evidence of declining valuations of any consequence have emerged to causeor a triggering event, as evidenced by step one analyses performed on a sample of itsevent.

Residential properties from each segment. acquired

The Company found a significant amount of cushion between the asset’s book value and the undiscounted cash flows for the properties evaluated.

The Company's monthly rent collections foracquired no multifamily communities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 have been approximately level across the Company's segments, with a minor dip in collections in March for in-line retail tenants, as such tenants are generally smaller operations that are likely have less access to adequate sources of liquidity to weather economic downturns than grocery anchor tenants and many office tenants. The closure of several in-line tenant businesses and monthly rent collections are beginning to fall. Within our multifamily communities, despite the fact that collections of rents had not yet begun to decline as of March 2020, the Company offered rent deferral plans for the months of April and May 2020. Any deferred rents would be due over the remaining lease term of the individual tenants. Any uncollected deferred rent amounts will be deemed uncollectible. For office tenants, the company evaluated all delinquent receivable balances by performing a detailed review of each tenant. In this review, we determined if the balances were paid in the subsequent month, if tenant had requested rent relief in the subsequent month due to COVID-19 circumstances, if the tenant was a credit tenant that was not typically late, and if the tenant had a security deposit on hand. If the likelihood of the tenant submitting payment was deemed to be less than probable based on the aforementioned criteria, we determined the tenant as being an “at risk” tenant and revenue would be recognized on a cash basis.

Multifamily communities acquired

During the three-month period ended2021. On March 31, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of AltisHorizon at Wiregrass, Ranch, a 392-unit multifamily community located in Tampa, Florida.

The aggregate purchase price of the multifamily acquisition was approximately $84.0 million, exclusive of acquired escrows, security deposits, prepaids, capitalized acquisition costs and other miscellaneous assets and assumed liabilities. The Company acquired no multifamily communities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

Purchase Options
In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, the Company will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If the Company determines that it does not wish to acquire the property, it has the right to sell its purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount.
Effective May 7, 2018, the Company terminated its purchase options on the Bishop Street multifamily community and the Haven Charlotte student housing property, both of which were partially supported by real estate loan investments held by the Company, in exchange for termination fees aggregating approximately $5.6 million from the developers.  For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $3.1 million of interest revenue related to these purchase option terminations.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company terminated its purchase options on the Sanibel Straits, Newbergh, Wiregrass and Cameron Square multifamily communities and the Solis Kennesaw student housing property, all of which are partially supported by real estate loan investments held by the Company, in exchange for termination fees aggregating approximately $9.1 million from the developers. These fees are treated as additional interest revenue and are amortized over the period ending with the earlier of (i) the sale of the underlying property and (ii) the maturity of the real estate loans. The Company recorded approximately $1.5$1.2 million and $1.2$4.0 million of interest revenue related tofrom the amortization of these purchase option terminations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, respectively. EffectiveRemaining unamortized termination fee revenue of approximately $473,000 at March 6,31, 2021 will be recognized by December 31, 2021.

On February 28, 2020, the CompanyMarch 1, 2021, we closed on a real estate loan investment of up to approximately $13.4$16.8 million in partial supportto partially finance the development and construction of a 256-unit 320-unit multifamily community to be located in Charlotte, North Carolina.Orlando, Florida. The loan pays a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrues additional deferred interest of 5.5%4.5% per annum and matures on February 28, 2025.September 1, 2024.


The Company's real estate loan investments are primarily collateralized by 100% of the membership interests of the underlying project entity, and, where considered necessary, by unconditional joint and several repayment guaranties and performance guaranties by the principal(s) of the borrowers. These guaranties generally remain in effect until the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement. Prepayment of the real estate loans are permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company's consent.

The Company incurred an aggregate net increase in its allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $0.5 million and $5.1 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, $4.5 million of the aggregate increase in the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company updating its estimates to the valuations of the underlying developments. The Company does not anticipate such a large increase in future periods. In the three month period ended March 31, 2021, changes in estimates to the valuations of the underlying developments were countered by additional reserves for loan originations and other projects achieving construction and leasing milestones.

As discussed in note 2, the Company established total expected credit losses against its existing portfolio of real estate loan investments on January 1, 2020. In doing so, it recorded a cumulative effect reduction adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $7.4 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an aggregate net increase in its provision for expected credit losses of approximately $4.5 million.

As described in note 2, theThe Company assesses the credit quality of its real estate loan investments by a calculated loss reserve ratio, which is an internally-developed credit quality indicator. Loss reserve ratios reflect the amount of protection afforded by the amount of equity and debt financing subordinate to the Company's position in the project; higher reserve ratios reflect a lower amount of invested dollars junior to the Company's position. The following table presents the Company's aggregation of loan amounts (including unpaid interest) by final reserve ratio as of March 31, 2020:2021:

The Company continues to monitor the extent of any impact the COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to have, impacts upon theon development activity underlying our real estate loan investments, including the availability of labor, the supply and availability of construction materials and the ability to achieve leased stabilization. The Company's Berryessa real estate loan investment carries a 4% final reserve ratio at March 31, 2020. The project is experiencing a temporary construction delay due to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but is expected to resume shortly. The Company assesses its real estate loan investment portfolio for impacts from COVID-19 at the outset of the project, as well as both quantitatively and qualitatively at the achievement of construction and leasing milestones during the projects' lives.


The Company can make no assurances that economic or industry conditions or other circumstances will not lead to increases in allowances for credit losses.


Management monitors the credit quality of the obligors under each of the Company's real estate loans by tracking the timeliness of scheduled interest and principal payments relative to the due dates as specified in the loan documents, as well as draw requests on the loans relative to the project budgets. In addition, management monitors the actual progress of development and construction relative to the construction plan, as well as local, regional and national economic conditions that may bear on our current and target markets.

The Company's Starkville loan has been in default since August 20, 2019 under the terms of the underlying mezzanine loan agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a specific loan loss reserve related to this loan totaling $1.4 million, reducing its net investment in the Starkville loan from $7.3 million, including accrued interest of $1.2 million, to a carrying amount of $5.9 million. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2020, the Company also recorded a total of $2.1 million in reserves pertaining to this loan under ASU 2016-03, reducing its carrying amount to $3.8 million as of March 31, 2020.

The Company extends loans for purposes such as to partially finance the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk and the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, any of which can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project.
The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.
The Company has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except normal lender rights, which are subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders on the projects. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities and therefore it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of March 31, 20202021 of approximately $310.3$291.9 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of March 31, 20202021 was approximately $373.2$341.2 million, which includes approximately $62.9$49.3 million of loan committed amounts not yet funded.
The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. The Company evaluates the expected residual profit it expects to collect under the terms of the loan versus the expected residual profit expected to be collected by the developer (in conjunction with any equity investors, if applicable), along with the "loan versus investment" characteristics as set forth by ASC 310-25. For each loan, the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate in cases where (i) the majority of the expected residual profit is expected to be due the developer and (ii) the majority of "loan versus investment" tests indicate that the instrument is a loan.
The Company is subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Newbergh, Newbergh Capital,8West, Kennesaw Crossing and Solis Kennesaw II, 8West and Kennesaw CrossingCumming Town Center real estate loan investments, as well as the Club Drive land loan investment, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in or near Atlanta, Georgia. The drawn amount, inaddition to outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of March 31, 20202021 totaled approximately $49.8$43.4 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $65.5$62.4 million). The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Sanibel Straits, Sanibel Straits Capital, E-Town, Vintage Destin, Hidden River II, Hidden River II Capital, and Vintage Horizon West and The Hudson real estate loan investments, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in Florida. The drawn amount, inaddition to outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of March 31, 20202021 totaled approximately $57.2$31.3 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $61.2$45.7 million). The event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors would subject the Company to a total possible loss of the drawn amount and all outstanding accrued interest.

The Company could have reimbursed its Former Manager up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of such offerings for all organization and offering expenses that were incurred by the Former Manager through the date of the Internalization. However, upon approval by the conflicts committee of the board of directors, the Company could have reimbursed its Former Manager for any such organization and offering expenses incurred above the 2.0% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. Dealer manager fees and sales commissions for the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering are not reimbursable.


The shares are being offered by PCS on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. The Company intends to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the Series A1/M1 Registration Statement in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

The Company's Haven 12 real estate loan investment and Haven Campus Communities LLC line of credit are bothis supported in part by a guaranty of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., the son of the late John A. Williams, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Because the terms of these loans were negotiated and agreed upon while John A. Williams was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, these instruments will continue to be reported as related party transactions until the loans are repaid.


The Company's Wiregrass and Wiregrass Capital real estate loan investments partially financed the development of a multifamily community in Tampa, Florida by the Altman Companies. Timothy A. Peterson is a member of management of the Altman Companies as well as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Wiregrass loans and the acquisition of the underlying property on March 31, 2020 as described in note 3, therefore qualify as related party transactions.

These costs arewere recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering or the 2019 Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity. In conjunction with the winding down of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, the Company has engaged PCS to perform certain termination-related services.

April 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid an additional $2.3 million for these services, which were recorded as deferred offering costs.


Prior to the Internalization, the Company held a promissory note in the amount of approximately $650,000 due from Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, or PCMS, which iswas a wholly-owned subsidiary of NELL Partners, and a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing amount of $24.0 million to its Manager. Both of these instruments were extinguished in connection with the Internalization transaction.


OfOn November 20, 2018, the Company’s $20.2 million accrued interest receivable on real estate loans balanceborrower on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, approximately$1.2 million relates to the Haven 12 real estate loan investment, which is to a related party. Interest receivable of approximately $1.2 million on its Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is included inincremental to the tenant receivablesoriginal 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded from the default date through March 31, 2021 was approximately $2.3 million.

7. Dividends and Distributions


The Company declares and pays monthly cash dividend distributions in the amount of $5.00 per share per month on its Series A Preferred Stock and its Series A1 Preferred Stock. For the Company's mSharesSeries M Preferred Stock, or mShares, dividends are paid on an escalating scale of $4.79 per month in the first year following share issuance, increasing each year to $6.25 per month in year eight and beyond. Similarly, for the Company's Series M1 Preferred Stock, dividends are paid on an escalating scale of $5.08 per month in the first year following share issuance, increasing each year to $5.92 per month in year ten and beyond. All preferred stock dividends are prorated for partial months at issuance as necessary.


Given the nature of the escalating dividends associated with the Company’s mShares Preferred Stock and Series M1 Preferred Stock, the Company accrues dividends at the effective dividend rate in accordance with GAAP. This results in the Company recording larger dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations than dividends required to be paid for the first four years after issuance with respect to the mShares and the first five years after issuance with respect to the Series M1 Preferred Stock. Similarly, this will result in the Company recording smaller dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations than dividends required to be paid for the fifth through the eighth year after issuance with respect to the mShares and the sixth through the tenth year after issuance with respect to the Series M1 Preferred Stock. Following the escalation period (year eight for the mShares Preferred Stock and year ten for the Series M1 Preferred Stock), the dividends declared to preferred stockholders in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations will equal the dividend paid.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

On March 15, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the Company awarded performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to certain of its senior executives. Each PSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock upon satisfaction of both (i) the market condition, at which time the PSUs become earned PSUs, and (ii) the service requirement, beyond which point the PSUs become vested PSUs.

The market condition requirement of the PSUs consists of a relative measure of total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company's Common Stock versus the average TSR of a select group of publicly-traded peer companies. TSR is calculated by dividing the sum of price appreciation and cumulative dividends over the performance period divided by the beginning value of the Common Stock at the performance period commencement date (July 1, 2020 for the 2020 awards and January 1, 2021 for the 2021 awards), where the determining values are derived by calculating the 20-day volume weighted average stock price preceding both the performance period commencement date and the performance period end date (June 30, 2023 for the 2020 awards and December 31, 2023 for the 2021 awards). PSUs will become earned PSUs according to the percentile rank of the TSR of Company's Common Stock versus the peer group’s average TSR, as shown in the following table:


LevelRelative TSR performance (percentile rank versus peers)Earned PSUs (% of target)
< Threshold
<35th Percentile
0%
Threshold
35th Percentile
50%
Target
55th Percentile
100%
Maximum
>=75th Percentile
200%


The number of PSUs that become earned PSUs can range between 0% and 200% of the original (target) number of PSUs awarded for the 2020 awards and between 0% and 250% of the original (target) number of PSUs for the 2021 awards, and actual percentile ranking results between the 35th and 75th percentile are to be interpolated between the percentage earned values shown.

In order for earned PSUs to become vested PSUs, the participant must remain continuously employed by the Company or an affiliate company (i) from the grant date through the payout determination date (expected to be no more than 5 days following the performance period end date) for 50% of the PSU award and (ii) from the grant date through the first anniversary of the performance period end date for the remaining 50% of the PSU award.

Since the PSUs vest in part based upon achievement of a market condition, they were valued utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation that excludes the value of Common Stock dividends since dividend equivalents accrue separately to the award holders. The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the PSUs were:

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

March 31, 2021

The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock and historical dividend amounts over the trailing five-year period from the grant date.

The Company's own stock price history over the 2.80 year and 2.91 year periods trailing the grant dates was utilized as the expected volatility assumptions for the 2021 and 2020 awards, respectively.

The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the grant date yields on zero coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS that have a term equal to the length of the remaining Performance Period and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the two-year and three-year yield percentages.

Restricted Stock Grants


The following annual grants of restricted stock were made to members of the Company's independent directors, as payment of the annual retainer fees. The restricted stock grants for service years 2017-2019 vested (or are scheduled to vest) on a pro-rata basis over the four consecutive 90-day periods following the date of grant. The restricted stock grant for service year 2020 is scheduled to vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant.

202066,114 $8.05 $532 

On June 17, 2020, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $8.05 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the business day preceding the grant date. A total of 137,741 shares representing a fair value of approximately $1.1 million will vest on the four year anniversary of the grant date and 344,356 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million will vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.

On March 15, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $10.69 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. A total of 261,226 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million will vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.

The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant date.


Since the Class B OP Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.

of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested RSUs become earned RSUs and are settled in shares of Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. Vested RSUs may become Earned RSUs on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested RSUs that do not become Earned RSUs on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested RSUs become Earned RSUs or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service due to an event other than as a result of a qualified event, which is generally the death or disability of the holder. Continuous service through the final valuation date is required for the Vested RSUs to qualify to become fully Earned RSUs. RSUs issued on March 15, 2021 may become vested subject only to satisfaction of the service requirement.


Because RSUs are valued using the identical market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, the same valuation assumptions per RSU were utilized to calculate the total fair values of the RSUs. The total fair value amounts pertaining to grants of RSUs, net of forfeitures, are amortized as compensation expense over the three one-year periods ending on the three successive anniversaries of the grant dates.

The Company has placed interest rate caps on the variable rate mortgages on its Avenues at Creekside multifamily community and its Tradition and Bloc student housing properties. Under guidance provided by ASC 815-10, these interest rate caps are derivatives that are embedded in the debt hosts. Because the interest rate caps are deemed to be clearly and closely related to the debt hosts, bifurcation and fair value accounting treatment is not required.

The mortgage note secured by our Independence Square property is a seven year term with an anticipated repayment date of September 1, 2022. If the Company elects not to pay its principal balance at the anticipated repayment date, the term will be extended for an additional five years, maturing on September 1, 2027. The interest rate from September 1, 2022 to September 1, 2027 will be the greater of (i) the Initial Interest Rate of 3.93% plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the seven year U.S. treasury security rate plus approximately 400 basis points.


As of March 31, 2020,2021, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 9.59.3 years. Our mortgage notes have maturity dates between AprilSeptember 1, 2021 and June 1, 2054.

10. Income Taxes


The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income (which does notnot equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders. For the Company's tax years prior to its REIT election year, its operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status; therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Company as Lessee


The Company has three3 ground leases related to our office and grocery-anchored shopping center assets that generally have extended terms (e.g. over twenty years with multiple renewal options) and generally have base rent with CPI-based increases. The Company evaluated its renewal option periods in quantifying its asset and liability related to these ground leases. In determining the value of its right of use asset and lease liability, the Company used discount rates comparable to recent loan rates obtained on comparative properties within its portfolio.

The Company is also, as of January 31, 2020 following the Internalization, the lessee of office space for its property support center which expires in May 2026, and of furniture and office equipment, which leases generally are three to five years in duration with minimal rent increases. The Company subleases a portion of its leased office space to third parties; office rental expense is included net of the revenue from these subleases in the general and administrative expense line on the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from subleased office space was approximately $235,000 and $219,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

13. Segment Information


The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company's business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across four4 distinct segments: residential properties,multifamily communities, real estate related financing, New Market Properties and Preferred Office Properties.

Preferred ApartmentMultifamily Communities Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
March 31, 2020



Residential Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of residential multifamily communities and student housing properties. Multifamily Communities and Student Housing Properties were previously presented as separate reporting segments. The Company has collapsed these two segments into one Residential Properties segment.communities.


Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of real estate loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets. Excluded from the financing segment are the consolidated assets of VIEs and financial results of the Company's Dawson Marketplace grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loan, which are included in the New Market Properties segment.VIEs.


New Market Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers, which are owned by New Market Properties, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, as well as the financial results from the Company's Dawson Marketplace real estate loan, that was repaid and extinguished on February 3, 2020.centers.


Preferred Office Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of office buildings, which are owned by Preferred Office Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


The CODM monitors net operating income (“NOI”) on a segment and a consolidated basis as a key performance measure for its operating segments. NOI is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate assets plus interest income from its loan portfolio less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses NOI as a measure of operating performance because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition expenses, and other expenses generally incurred at the corporate level.


The following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net income (loss). The assets attributable to 'Other' primarily consist of  deferred offering costs recorded but not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity and cash balances at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

The Company expects that negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic affecting its in-line retail tenants within its New Market Properties segment may continue throughout 2020. Three tenants to date have ceased business operations and one has exercised an termination option.

The chief operating decision makerCODM utilizes segment net operating income, or Segment NOI, in evaluating the performance of its operating segments. Segment NOI represents total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, for all properties held during the period. Segment NOI for the Company's financing segment consists of interest revenues from the Company's real estate loan investments and notes and lines of credit receivable, as well as revenues from terminated property purchase options. Management believes that Segment NOI is a helpful tool in evaluating the operating performance of the segments because it measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not directly related to property operating performance.

The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values

also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date of the loan, based on the outstanding loan balances at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 25 and 35 year notes as of the reporting date. The present values of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the fixed rate mortgages and again at the current market rate. The difference between the two results was applied as a fair market adjustment to the carrying value of the mortgages.

Discussions with individual tenants that failed to satisfy their April rent obligations are underway.

General
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.



Industry Outlook


    In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe continued, albeit sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will take hold for 2021, with continued improvement in the job market from pandemic lows and growth and improvements in the overall economy. As the country combats the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic with vaccine rollouts and other measures, it should be the case that the impact from the pandemic lessens and the economy can begin a path to normalcy. We believe a recovering economy, improving job market and increased consumer confidence should help create favorable conditions in the recovery for the multifamily sector, grocery-anchored shopping centers and Class A office demand.

MultifamilyCommunities
 
Multifamily ownersThe Company continues to believe in the health of the multifamily industry, which is driven by both favorable demographic tailwinds and operators, like every otherstrong economic fundamentals.

Two of the nation’s largest generational cohorts - an estimated 72 million Millennials and 72 million Baby Boomers – continue to create demand for multifamily housing. Lifestyle trends within these groups support the multifamily thesis, with Millennials seeking flexibility and Baby Boomers looking to downsize and reduce ongoing maintenance required with home ownership. These trends are further amplified within the Company's footprint and strategy: operating newly-constructed Class A communities in growing sunbelt suburban markets. The sunbelt continues to benefit from in-migration trends as weather, affordability and friendly business have been impacted by COVID-19, butenvironments attract households and corporations alike. Millennials, who on average are forming households and starting families later than prior generations, are now searching for additional square footage, relative affordability and good schools; attributes that are generally more prevalent in the suburbs.

Fundamentally, the multifamily industry is benefiting from the current housing shortage in the United States, which Freddie Mac estimates at 2.5 million housing units. Furthermore, we believe the long term healthU.S. is in the early stages of the industry is intact. Demand foran economic expansion, which we believe would drive job growth, and lead to increased multifamily rental housing will continue duedemand. The sector continues to the ongoing entry of the “millennial” generation into the workforce,show resiliency and the desire of the Baby Boom generation to “downsize”positive momentum as they focus on their retirement years. 

Entering this pandemic-induced recession, most economists agreed there was a housing shortfall, not an oversupply. Regarding multifamily specifically, in 2019, the industry was reachingforecasts generally support stable occupancy, levels not seen since 2000rent growth and net absorption of units was also at peak levels during this last economic cycle. While this pandemicunits.

Investors, both domestic and resulting recession will create significant job losses in the near term, economic models forecast a quick recoveryabroad, continue to seek quality multifamily housing given strong secular demand and the multifamily industry is in a prime position to recover relatively quickly given the aforementioned baseline pre-COVID-19. Until such recovery, the Company’s multifamily assets are well positioned to sustain through a recession with a majorityfinancial stability of the industry. Commercial real estate investment volume remains high with multifamily realizing more volume than any other property type; a trend that has been ongoing and is expected to continue. Moreover, mortgage production remains very healthy and efficient as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, life insurance companies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities lenders compete for borrowers as they see increased demand for multifamily debt, whether for their own account or securitized.

Strategically, the Company is focused on the goal of outperforming the multifamily market on a risk adjusted basis, as it looks for investments that offer an attractive location, superior product or provide a value proposition. Moreover, the Company is purposeful in its management of assets, being newly constructed, suburbanaiming to provide a relatively stable and located in dynamic sunbelt growth markets. The Company also hassteady rental stream from its portfolio by employing principally fixed-rate long-term project-level debt financing and adhering to strict leasing guidelines regarding the credit worthiness of its tenants, providing for a relatively resilient rental stream. Additionally, the Company focused on financing the assets with project level, long-term, fixed rate debt, which provides surety and continuity in times of uncertainty.tenants.


Student Housing Properties

Student housing owners and operators, like their multifamily counterparts, have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Traffic and leasing statistics were immediately decreased by the decision of most universities across the country to discontinue on-campus classes and move to an on-line learning program. With these immediate closings, including the mandates to vacate on-campus housing dorms, and students being advised by university personnel to return to their permanent homes to resume their classes on-line, the student’s college experience changed overnight. In addition, without a commitment from the universities as to when the Fall 2020 classes would begin, the student-renter base took a “wait and see” approach toward signing leases for the Fall 2020 school year. 

Furthermore, the dynamics of enrollment growth information has also been impacted by the pandemic in that universities have pushed back their enrollment deadlines. PAC’s student housing portfolio was tracking 9% ahead of the number of leases executed for Fall 2019 until the university closings occurred. The portfolio is currently 1% ahead of 2019 leases executed at this point in the leasing schedule.


During the first week of May, universities have begun to announce their opening dates for their Fall 2020 on-campus class schedules and as such, we are anticipating that leasing velocity will quickly resume. While the safety of students is of the utmost importance, and social distancing and other processes will require implementation by the universities to resume in-person classes, nearly all of the 4,000 institutions of higher learning require tuition to maintain their operations. That said, the formal announcements that in-person classes will resume for Fall 2020 is extremely important to colleges and universities, as well.

Pre-COVID-19, there was some discussion in the industry as to whether on-line learning could become a threat to the in-person college experience. As we are hearing from many of our students who have been forced to finish the academic year through total on-line learning, this experience does not come close to delivering the college experience that is obtained from the personal growth through meeting and debating issues and topics with others who have different thought processes or come from different backgrounds and cultures, the mentoring from instructors, collaboration with other students, the sense of belonging, and the pride in university through sports and other programs. While the COVID-19 pandemic may have some lasting impact on the university systems and the student housing industry, much of this impact is positive due to the improvements in processes, programs and technologies that have been implemented that will carry forward after the pandemic, providing us with new tools that will make the student living learning experience safer, stronger and more efficient.



New Market Properties
 
We specialize in owning and managing a portfolio of 54 neighborhoodoperating shopping centers anchored by market leadingmarket-leading grocers incomplemented by convenience-based retailers across high growth suburban Sunbelt and Mid-Atlantic suburban markets with strong demographic fundamentals.markets. These centers are primarily anchored by Publix, Kroger, Harris Teeter and other market share leading grocers that havewith high sales per square foot. The roll out of the COVID-19 vaccine and additional stimulus payments being distributed accelerated consumers' regaining confidence and returning to pre-pandemic shopping habits evidenced by the 14% increase in retail sales in March 2021 versus March 2020 according to Mastercard. An increasing level of optimism felt throughout the retail industry with the country’s reopening has propelled the recovery from the pandemic.


DespiteOur grocery partners’ performance during 2020 exceeded expectations, with sales increasing by 17% year over year, outpacing their respective chain increases. Beyond the COVID-9obvious spike in foot traffic tied to the pandemic, we believe grocers benefited from the accelerated migration to our outlookSunbelt markets and the work from home trend that kept shoppers at their homes during the weekdays. Further, our grocery portfolio’s outperformance compared to chain averages is reflective of our assets’ strong positioning in high growth suburban markets that enjoyed accelerated migration during the last twelve months. Our grocers continue to be the centerpieces of their respective communities and are positioned for sustained growth during 2021. Beyond the overwhelming success of our grocer partners, we are encouraged by the leasing momentum being seen throughout the retail industry with many different tenant types actively expanding again.

The retail vertical’s collection percentages during the first quarter 2021 returned to pre-pandemic levels, collecting over 98% of recurring rent charges, unadjusted for deferrals. This result reflects a continued recovery from the 91.9%, 96.1% and 97.6% collections in second, third and fourth quarters 2020, respectively. The continued increases are reflective of the country’s reopening progressing and consumers regaining confidence to get out and support bricks and mortar retailers. The pace of new deferrals and rent workouts has slowed drastically. We granted an additional $28,000 of deferred rent during the first quarter 2021, raising the total deferred rent granted to approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 2.0% cumulatively
39


over the last four quarters. Of that amount, $789,000, or 41.2% of the aggregate amount deferred, are now due under revised lease agreements as of March 31, 2021, of which we have collected over 93%.

During the first quarter of 2021, there were less retailer bankruptcies than anticipated, with New Market being impacted minimally by the filings of Belk and Cici’s Pizza, each with one location in our portfolio. Both tenants have now emerged from bankruptcy and are current on grocery-anchoredtheir rent obligations, which represent under 1% of our annual base rent. We foresee less than 2% of our portfolio’s base rent being attributed to tenants deemed to be at risk and are actively working on alternative users for each of these spaces if they were to be given back.

Our retail investment strategy of owning and operating shopping centers remains positiveanchored by strongly performing grocers complemented by convenience-based retailers across high growth suburban Sunbelt markets has proven its strength throughout the last year. We are confident in our e-commerce resilient merchandising mix as we believe the primary characteristics of our centers are defensive in nature with daily-necessity and convenience-based tenants. We have collected 77% of April’s contractual rental obligations during a time in which federal, state and local authorities have mandated closures of nonessential businesses. Our grocery stores and pharmacies have been permitted to remain open as well as other essential services such as financial services, home improvement, auto, medical, pet stores and restaurants that were limited to take-out and delivery services only. Personal service providers including salons and fitness centers deemed nonessential have been closed, but are a smaller percentage of our tenant mix.

While there is uncertainty as to when other parts of the country restrictions will be relaxed or lifted, 87% of our tenant base is located in states (GA, TX, FL, TN, SC and AL) which have all begun to reopen.  Asemerge from the COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease, our personal service tenants of hair salons, nail salons, fitness centers, medical providerspandemic and restaurants will begin their recovery as customers will return to shopping at our daily needs oriented shopping centers.  We believe long term that the tenant makeup of our centers is significantly less impacted by e-commerce, and the grocery anchors will continue to generate repeat trips to the center.improve our portfolio.


We will continue to invest in the grocers who invest in their brands, developing their e-commerce strategies, and that continue to optimize their in-store shopping experience for customers. Publix and Kroger anchor 41 of our 54 shopping centers and both have hit record sales levels during the pandemic. Both of these grocers are positioned to gain market share in the future as a result of their proactive approach to technology through proprietary services like Click List (Kroger), operational expertise,  and strong financial positions.


Preferred Office Properties
 
               Preferred Office Properties operates a 3.2 million square foot portfolio of Class A office assets in markets across the Sunbelt. New leasing activity has slowed and sublease availability has increased in most markets due to uncertainty from COVID-19. We continueexpect to hold a positive outlook for the office industry in our markets, notwithstanding COVID-19, while acknowledging thatsee some level of continued soft demand in the immediate near term this positive performance may be more relative than absolute. Multi-yearnear-term. Despite these challenges, the Company’s office investments are 91% leased with only approximately 6.8% of the portfolio leases expiring through the end of 2022. Furthermore, multi-year contractual leases and rent schedules paired with corporatehigh quality tenant balance sheets offerhave offered protection against theadverse impacts of COVID-19.

The pandemic has highlighted the pandemic. While unprecedented accelerationtrend of relocations out of larger gateway cities to the suburban, Sunbelt target markets. As the pandemic eases this trend could continue or abate as the market settles from the disruption of COVID-19. We continue to see interest in new unemployment claimsour assets from companies of varying sizes and revenue disruptions from varying industries, which is a temporary consumer demand shock are having adverse impacts across the entire domestic and international economy, office-using employment has fared better thus far than have hourly wage earners. In addition, certain industries have been more affected - namely travel and leisure,positive trend for our investment thesis and the energy sector. Markets with concentrations to these industries are likely to be more strained than others. We also believe New York City will be slower to recover due to the severity of its encounter with the virus. Fortunately, the Company’s office investments are not locatedmarkets in New York City or any markets where tourism or energy is the primary economic driver. Leasing activity and investment sales are likely to be at a reduced pace until there is more visibility as to the timing and speed of the U.S. recovery. Again, fortunately, the Company’s office investments are 97% leased with limited lease expirations upcoming. In the meantimewhich we expect corporate customers to turn to their balance sheets where necessary to weather the impacts on revenues. Longer duration leases for officehave invested.

space and well-capitalized corporate customers will be highlighted through this period, offering stability to high-quality, “core” profile office owners.

Expected Credit Loss Reserves

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13,holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant, with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share for Warrants issued after February 15, 2017. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of March 31, 2021, a total of 531,522 Warrants had been exercised into 10,630,440 shares of Common stock. The 1,224,195 Warrants outstanding at March 31, 2021 have exercise prices that replacedrange between $19.50 and $26.34 per share.

This loss reserve may be further refined by us due to any subjective factors deemed pertinent and worthy of reflection in the initial reserve. Over the life of the loan, the initial reserve is reevaluated for potential reduction at the achievement of certain milestones in construction and lease-up progress as the project approaches completion and the loan approaches maturity, given no unforeseen degradation in project performance or failure to adhere to the terms of the loan by the borrower/developer.Common Stock.

Operational

As of March 31, 2021, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.5 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.

As of March 31, 2021, all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for one fourth quarter 2020 acquisition. We define stabilization as reaching 93% for all three consecutive months within a single quarter.

The average physical occupancy for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 increased to 95.8% from 95.6% and 95.7% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Our average recurring rental revenue collections before and after any effect of rent deferrals for the first quarter 2021 were approximately 99.1% and 99.2% for multifamily communities, 98.4% and 98.4% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 99.8% and 99.9% for office properties, respectively. Rent deferments provided to our residents and tenants are limited and are primarily related to a change of timing of rent payments with no significant changes to total payments or term.

We granted an additional $28,000 of deferred rent during the first quarter 2021, raising the total deferred rent granted to approximately $1.9 million, or approximately 2.0% cumulatively over the last four quarters. Including this deferred rent, our average recurring rental revenue collections were 98.4%, 98.4%, 97.8% and 96.9% for first quarter 2021, fourth quarter 2020, third quarter 2020 and second quarter 2020, respectively. In addition to the deferrals, we granted approximately $676,000 of COVID-related rental abatements to retail tenants only, or approximately 0.7% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the last four quarters. These rental abatements were generally accompanied by an increase in the tenant’s lease term or the lease terms were amended to be more favorable to us. We reserved $99,000, or 0.4% of total retail revenue (inclusive of straight-line rent adjustments) in the first quarter 2021, that is 0.1% of our consolidated rental and other property revenues. Our retail portfolio's total rent reserves over the last four quarters were approximately $2.3 million, or approximately 2.4% of our retail portfolio's recurring rental revenues cumulatively over the same period.

Financing and Capital Markets

As of March 31, 2021, approximately 97.4% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 0.8% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates. Our overall weighted average interest rate for our mortgage debt portfolio was 3.5% for
42


multifamily communities, 4.1% for office properties, 3.9% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.8% in the aggregate.

At March 31, 2021, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 55.9%.

At March 31, 2021, we had $160.0 million available to be drawn on our revolving line of credit and approximately $32.3 million of cash.

During the first quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,898 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 44,220 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net redemption of 6,322 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net redemption cost of $9.5 million.


Significant Transactions

During the first quarter 2021, we received the full principal amounts totaling approximately $17.9 million from the repayment of two real estate loan investments, plus a purchase option termination fee of approximately $1.5 million and $4.3 million of accrued interest from these loan payoffs. These transactions collectively returned approximately $23.7 million of capital to us for investment, preferred redemptions, or other corporate purposes during the first quarter.

During the first quarter 2021, we originated one real estate investment loan with a total commitment of $16.8 million, in support of a 320-unit multifamily community in Orlando, Florida. We also originated a land acquisition bridge loan of approximately $7.7 million in support of a proposed multifamily community to be located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.



Subsequent to Quarter End

On April 16, 2021, we entered into a series of transactions with Highwoods Properties in order to dispose of seven of our office properties and one office real estate loan investment for an aggregate purchase price of $717.5 million, including the assumption of debt.    

On May 4, 2021, we amended our revolving line of credit agreement to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2024 and, among other things, modified certain covenants, reduced certain rates and fees and prepared for LIBOR transitioning.

On May 6, 2021, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.175 per share, payable on July 15, 2021 to stockholders of record on June 15, 2021.


Real Estate Loan Investments


Certain real estate loan investments include limited purchase options and additional amounts of accrued interest, which becomes due in cash to us on the earliest to occur of: (i) the maturity of the loan, (ii) any uncured event of default as defined in the associated loan agreement, (iii) the sale of the project or the refinancing of the loan (other than a refinancing loan by us or one of our affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest amounts. We hold options and rights of first offer, but not obligations, to purchase certain of the properties which are partially financed by our real estate loans, as shown in the table below.below. The option purchase prices are negotiated at the time of the loan closing and are to be calculated based upon market cap rates at the time of exercise of the purchase option, with discounts up to 15 basis points (if any), depending on the loan.

Rental and other property revenues


Rental and other property revenues increaseddecreased 6.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties acquired since January 1, 2019, with grocery-anchored shopping centersin the fourth quarter 2020. Changes in occupancy rates and office buildings accountingin percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of changes in rental revenue from our owned properties. Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for 36.4%home purchases, and 30.1%, respectively,changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.


Interest income
    Interest income from our real estate loan investments decreased 31.7% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $291.9 million at March 31, 2021 from $310.3 million at March 31, 2020. Revenues from the amortization of terminated purchase options decreased from $4.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 to $1.2 million for the three-
47


month period ended March 31, 2021. We recorded interest income and newly-acquired multifamily andother revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.


Miscellaneous revenues

We recognized a forfeited earnest money deposit of $2.75 million from a prospective purchaser of six of our student residentialhousing properties accounting for an additional 13.0% and 10.9%, respectively. Similar increasesduring the first quarter 2020. The absence of this transaction in property operationsthe first quarter 2021 reflected the decrease.

Property operating and maintenance

    Property operating and property salary and benefits expense were driven by these acquisitions.

maintenance costs decreased 9.5% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents and tenants.



Property salary and benefits

    Property salary and benefits decreased 7.1% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020. We recorded property salary and benefits expense for individuals who handle the on-site management, operations and maintenance of our properties. These costs increased primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by additional personnel necessary to manage and operate properties acquired.


Increases in occupancy rates and in percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of increases in rental revenue from our owned properties. Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for home purchases, and changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.


Interest income
Interest income from our real estate loan investments decreased for the year ended March 31, 2020 versus 2019. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $310.3 million at March 31, 2020 from $338.3 million at March 31, 2019. Interest revenue decreased due to the repayment or settlement of fully-drawn, larger balance loans prior to the first quarter 2020. Interest revenue from mortgage-backed securities and money market investments fell from approximately $198,000 for the first quarter 2019 to almost zero for the first quarter 2020. Revenues from the amortization of terminated purchase options decreased from approximately $4.2 million for the first quarter 2019 to approximately $4.0 million for the first quarter 2020. We recorded interest income and other revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Miscellaneous revenues for the year ended March 31, 2020 consisted primarily of a forfeited earnest money deposit from a prospective purchaser of six of our student housing properties.


Property management feescosts


We paid fees for property management services to our Former Manager in an amount of 4% of gross property revenues as compensation for services such as rental, leasing, operation and management of our multifamily communities and the supervision of any subcontractors; for grocery-anchored shopping center assets, property management fees arecosts were generally 4% of gross property revenues, of which generally 2.0% to 2.5% iswere paid to a third party management company. Property management feescosts for office building assets are within the range of 2.0%1.25% to 2.75% of gross property revenues, of which 1.5% to 2.25% is2.00% and are paid to a third party property management company. All property management feescosts paid to our Former Manager ceased effective with our Internalization on January 31, 2020, which resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.6 million in these property management fees for the first quarter 2020 as compared to the first quarter 2019.2020.




Real estate taxes and insurance


We are liable for property taxes due to the various counties and municipalities that levy such taxes on real property for each of our properties.properties. Real estate taxes rose primarily due to the incrementalincreased exposure from property tax judgements that are currently in litigation or under appeal and from increased insurance costs brought on by properties acquired since January 1, 2019.related to adjustments for replacement cost underwriting results. We generallygenerally expect the assessed values of our properties to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions, as well as pressure on municipalities to raise revenues. Insurance premiums are paid to insure against damages to our real estate assets and for liability claims. 


48



General and Administrative


The 26.7% increase in general and administrative expenses werefor the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020 was primarily due to charges for corporate salaries and administrative expenses that are borne by us following the management internalization.Internalization.



Equity compensation to directors and executives


Equity compensation expenses incurred fell for the first quarter 2020 as compared to the corresponding 2019 period primarily due to the expense of the third and final vesting tranche of the 2017 Class B Unit grant having almost completely been realized prior to the first quarter 2020. We had no Class B Unit grants in 2019 or 2020.     

Depreciation and amortization

The increases in depreciation and amortizationincreased 149.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020, versus 2019 increasedprimarily due to the additionissuances of properties acquiredrestricted stock and restricted stock units since January 1, 2019.March 31, 2020. These instruments have a collective fair value of approximately $11.7 million, that will be amortized as described in note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.



Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party


Monthly asset management fees were equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total book value of assets, as adjusted. Generaland general and administrative expense fees were equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company. Both were calculated as prescribed by the Former Management Agreement and were paid monthly to our Former Manager. These fees rose primarily due to the incremental assets and revenues brought on by acquired office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers, student housing properties and multifamily communities listed previously. Effectiveceased effective with the closing of our Internalization transactionTransaction on January 31, 2020, fees to the Former Manager will no longer be incurred.2020.


Provision
Allowance for expected credit losses


Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-03, which requires us to estimate the amount of futureThe 89.8% decrease in our allowance for expected credit losses we expectfor the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020 was primarily due to incur over the lives of our real estate loan investments at the inception of each loan, rather than perform assessments for impairment as circumstances dictate. The Company’s openingloss reserve of approximately $7.4 million was recorded as a cumulative adjustment to accumulated earnings on January 1, 2020. Additionally,increases during the first quarter 2020 we recorded current estimated credit losses on our Berryessa, V & Three, and Kennesaw Crossing real estate loan investments that totaled approximately $4.5 million in response to the initial outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reserve adjustments for the first quarter 2021 were not affected by any similar event and totaled approximately $0.5 million.


Management Internalization expense


On January 31, 2020, we internalized the functions performed by the Former Manager and the Sub-Manager by acquiring the entities that own the Manager and the Sub-Manager for an aggregate purchase price of $154 million, plus up to $25 million of additional consideration to be paid within 36 months.



Interest expense


The increase consisted of8.8% decrease in interest expense on mortgages that increased from $24.2 million for the first quarter 2019 to $26.2 million for the first quarterthree-month period ended March 31, 2021 versus 2020 was primarily due to the additional acquired propertiessale in 2019 and 2020. Interest expense onthe fourth quarter 2020 of our revolving line of credit increased from approximately $587,000 for the first quarter 2019 to approximately $859,000 for the first quarter 2020.student housing properties.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures


We disclose FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and NOI,AFFO, each of which meet the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure”, as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result we are required to include in this filing a statement of why the Company believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. NoneThe non-GAAP measures of FFO, Core FFO AFFO and NOIAFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further FFO, Core FFO AFFO and NOIAFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”)


FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations,” which was restated in 2018,the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO as a meaningful supplemental gauge of our operating results, and as is most often presented by other REIT industry participants.


The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one reported by the Company) is:


Net income/loss, 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 writedowns of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.


Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, so caution should be taken in comparing the Company’s reported FFO results to those of other companies. The Company’s FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.


Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“Core FFO”)


The Company makes adjustments to FFO to remove costs incurred and revenues recorded that are singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company and portray its primary operational results. The Company calculates Core FFO as:


FFO, plus:
• acquisition and pursuit (dead deal) costs;
Loanloan cost amortization on acquisition term notes and loan coordination fees;
• losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;
• internalization costs;
expenses incurred on calls of preferred stock;
• deemed dividends for redemptions of and non-cash dividends on preferred stock;
non-cash (income) expense for current expected credit losses;
• Extraordinary Event -expenses related to the COVID-19 Expense;global pandemic; and


Less:
• earnest money forfeitures by prospective asset purchasers.




Core FFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to Core FFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize Core FFO as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of Core FFO removes costs incurred and revenues recorded that are often singular in nature and outside the normal operations of the Company, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. Core FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.


Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“AFFO”)


AFFO makes further adjustments to Core FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. The Company calculates AFFO as:


Core FFO, plus:
• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;
50


• non-cash (income) expense for current expected credit losses;
• amortization of loan closing costs;
• weather-related property operating losses;
amortization of loan coordination fees paid to the Manager;
depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;
• net loan origination fees received;
accrueddeferred interest income received;
amortization of lease inducements;
cash received forin excess of (exceeded by) amortization of purchase option terminations;
• deemed dividends on preferred stock redemptions;termination revenues;
• non-cash dividends on Series M Preferred Stock;Stock and mShares; and
amortization of lease inducements;earnest money forfeiture from prospective asset purchaser;


Less:
• non-cash loan interest income;
• cash paid for loan closing costs;
• amortization of acquired real estate intangible liabilities;
• amortization of straight linestraight-line rent adjustments and deferred revenues; and
• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized retail directsecond generation leasing costs.


AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of AFFO removes other significant non-cash charges and revenues and other costs which are not representative of our ongoing business operations, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, Core FFO and AFFO to
Net Income (Loss)Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

1)Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 include activity for the properties acquired during the period only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, the first quarter 2020 includes activity for the properties acquired since March 31, 2019. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the first quarter 2019 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.

2)
Non-controlling interests in Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 774,687 Class A Units as of March 31, 2020. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with theseller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 1.72% and 2.02% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

3)We paid loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or our Former Manager, to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization. The fees were calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO and AFFO. At March 31, 2020, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $14.0 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.3 years.

4)This adjustment reflects the add-back of consideration paid to the owners of the Former Manager and due diligence and pursuit costs incurred by the Company related to the internalization of the functions performed by the Former Manager.

5)Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-03, which requires us to estimate the amount of future credit losses we expect to incur over the lives of our real estate loan investments at the inception of each loan. This loss reserve may be adjusted upward or downward over the lives of our loans and therefore the aggregate net adjustment for each period could be positive (removing the non-cash effect of a net increase in aggregate loss reserves) or negative (removing the non-cash effect of a net decrease in aggregate loss reserves) in these adjustments to FFO in calculating Core FFO.

6)We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. Effective April 13, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased from $150 million to $200 million. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At March 31, 2020, aggregate unamortized loan costs were approximately $25.2 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 9.1 years.

7)We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower (see note 8).

8)This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 7 above) which was earned and accrued prior to those periods presented on various real estate loans.

9)This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers.

10)Effective March 6, 2020, our purchase option on the Falls at Forsyth multifamily community was extinguished in conjunction with the loan repayment; effective January 1, 2019, we terminated our purchase options on the Sanibel Straits, Newbergh, Wiregrass and Cameron Square multifamily communities and the Solis Kennesaw student housing property; on May 7, 2018, we terminated our purchase options on the Bishop Street multifamily community and the Haven Charlotte student housing property, both of which are (or were) partially supported by real estate loan investments held by us. In exchange, we arranged to receive termination fees aggregating approximately $17.2 million from the developers, which are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of election until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in our calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For the quarters


1)Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 include activity for the properties acquired since March 31, 2020. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2020 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.

2)Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership consisted of a total of 548,369 Class A Units as of March 31, 2021. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with theseller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 1.20% and 2019,1.72% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

3)     We paid loan coordination fees to our Former Manager to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization. The fees were calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO and AFFO. At March 31, 2021, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $11.3 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.3 years.

4)    This adjustment reflects the add-back of (i) consideration paid to the owners of the Former Manager and Former Sub-Manager, (ii) accretion of the discount on the deferred liability payable to the owners of the Former Manager and (iii) due diligence and pursuit costs incurred by the Company related to the internalization of the functions performed by the Former Manager.

5)    This additive adjustment to FFO consists of non-recurring costs for signage, cleaning and supplies necessary to create and maintain work environments necessary to adhere to CDC guidelines during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Since we haddo not expect to incur similar costs once the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we add these costs back to FFO in our calculation of Core FFO.

6)    Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-03, which requires us to estimate the amount of future credit losses we expect to incur over the lives of our real estate loan investments at the inception of each loan. This loss reserve may be adjusted upward or downward over the lives of our loans and therefore the aggregate net adjustment for each period could be positive (removing the non-cash effect of a net increase in aggregate loss reserves) or negative (removing the non-cash effect of a net decrease in aggregate loss reserves) in these adjustments to FFO in calculating Core FFO. More information on our expected credit loss reserves may be found in note 4 of our consolidated financial statements.

7)    We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At March 31, 2021, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $30.0 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 8.9 years.

8)    We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower (see note 10).

9)    This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 8 above) which was earned and accrued on various real estate loans prior to those periods and previously deducted in our calculation of AFFO.

10)    This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers.

11)    Occasionally we receive fees in exchange for the termination of our purchase options related to certain multifamily communities. These fees are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in excessour
53


calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For periods in which recognized termination fee revenues exceeded the amount of cash received, a negative adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; for periods in which cash received exceeded the amount of recognized termination fee revenues, resulting in the positive adjustmentsan additive adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.


11)This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At March 31, 2020, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $60.5 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 9.1 years.

12)    This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At March 31, 2021, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $49.9 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.6 years.
12)This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.

13)    This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.
    
13)We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. This adjustment includes approximately $40,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
14)    We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. This adjustment includes approximately $18,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three-months ended March 31, 2021. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures.



15)    Since our AFFO results are positive for the periods reflected, we are presenting recalculated diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock and Class A Units for these periods for purposes of this table, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from grants of the Class B Units, warrants included in units of Series A Preferred Stock issued, as well as annual grants of restricted Common Stock and restricted stock units. The weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are the same for basic and diluted for any period for which we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Short-Term Liquidity


We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:


operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties (including regular maintenance items);
operating expenses related to salaries, benefits, and general and administrative expenses (that were formally funded by payment of fees to our Former Manager prior to Internalization on January 31, 2020);
capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;
interest expense on our outstanding property level debt;
amounts due on our Credit Facility;
distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders;
cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders,stockholders; and
committed investments.



We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. On March 23, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $200 million pursuant to an accordion feature. The accordion feature permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. On December 12, 2018,May 4, 2021, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, was amended to extend the maturity to December 12, 2021,May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the maturity date to December 12, 2022,May 4, 2025, subject to certain conditions described therein. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.75%2.50% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon our leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 4.57%3.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit to 0.25%0.20% or 0.30%0.25% per annum, depending upon our outstanding Credit Facility balance. At March 31, 2021, we had $160.0 million available to be drawn by us on the Revolving Line of Credit.


The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to affect our short-term cash flows, if multifamily tenants lose their jobs due to business closings, smaller retailers fall behind on their rent obligations, and our office tenants' businesses begin to similarly suffer. Should these events continue to accelerate and worsen, our operational cash flows could suffer and cause us to draw upon our Revolving Credit Line more extensively and in a manner other than we previously intended.


The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with all covenants related

to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.Agreement, as amended. Our results with respect to such compliance are presented in Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.


On December 20, 2019, we utilized proceeds from an interim term loan to partially finance the acquisition of Morrocroft Centre, an office building located in Charlotte, North Carolina, or the 2019 Interim Term Loan. The 2019 Interim Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 170 basis points per annum. We repaid the 2019 Interim Term Loan during the first quarter 2020 with permanent mortgage financing.


On February 28, 2017, we entered into a revolving acquisition credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with KeyBank to obtain the Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The sole purpose of the Acquisition Credit Agreement is to finance our acquisitions of multifamily communities and student housing communities prior to obtaining permanent conventional mortgage financing on the acquired assets. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility was
55


reduced by agreement with KeyBank to $90 million on March 25, 2019. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein. At March 31, 2021, we had $90.0 million available to be drawn by us on the Acquisition Facility.


Our net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $48.4 million and net cash used byin operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 was approximately $69.4 million and net cash provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $26.4 million. The Internalization transaction reducedthat closed in the Company’s operatingfirst quarter 2020 reflected one-time cash flows bypayments to the entities that owned the Former Manager and Former Sub-Manager that totaled approximately $114$111.1 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.plus approximately $3.8 million in related professional fees.


The majority of our revenue is derived from residents and tenants under existing leases at our multifamily communities, student housingresidential properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties.properties. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of multifamily communities, student housingresidential properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these properties; and (5) the ability of our residents and tenants to make their rental payments.


We also earn interest revenue from the issuance of real estate-related loans and may receive fees at the inception of these loans for committing and originating them. Interest revenue we receive on these loans is influenced by (1) market interest rates on similar loans; (2) the availability of credit from alternative financing sources; (3) the desire of borrowers to finance new real estate projects; and (4) unique characteristics attached to these loans, such as exclusive purchase options. In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, we will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If we do not wish to acquire the property, we have the right to sell the purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount, which is recognized as interest income over the earlier of the maturity date of the loan or the sale of the property.


Interest income on our loans and notes receivable decreased primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average accrued interest rate for 2019 and full repayment of various loans and notes receivable. Additionally, the Haven Campus Communities Charlotte Member, LLCFormer Manager’s line of credit was repaid in early 2019.full in conjunction with the Internalization transaction which closed on January 31, 2020.


Our net cash used in investing activities for the quartersthree-month periods ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020 was approximately $90.9$6.6 million and $53.9$90.9 million, respectively. Cash disbursed for property acquisitions increased fromtotaled approximately $32.5 million in the 2019 period to $125.1 million in the 2020 period. We had no asset acquisitions during the 2021 period.


Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties, student housingmultifamily properties, office properties and grocery-anchored shopping centers and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We will seek to acquire more multifamily communities student housing properties, office properties and grocery-anchored shopping centers at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents or tenants in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.

In addition, second-generation capital expenditures within ourour grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $2.1 million and 2019$0.4 million, respectively, and within our office properties portfolio for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $432,000$0.4 million and $264,000,$0.1 million, respectively. We define second-generation capital expenditures as those that exclude expenditures made in our grocery-anchoredgrocery-anchored shopping center portfolioand office properties portfolios (i) to lease space to

"first "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our ownership standards, and (iii) for property re-developments and repositioning.


Second-generation capital expenditures within our office properties portfolio for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $101,000 and $149,000, respectively. Second-generation capital expenditures exclude those expenditures made in our office properties portfolio (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our Class A ownership standards (and which amounts were underwritten into the total investment at the time of acquisition) and (iii) for property re-developments and repositionings.

At March 31, 2020,2021, we had restricted cash of approximately $20.7 million that was contractually$45.1 million. These funds are restricted for a variety of purposes, such as commitments to fund capital expenditures and lender required escrows for future real estate tax and insurance payments. At March 31, 2021, our restricted cash for future real estate tax and insurance payments was approximately $15.8 million. Typically these escrows increase in the second and third quarters of each calendar year as the Company pays monthly mortgage installments, of which a portion goes to these escrows, until payments are made to the taxing authorities (generally in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year). Additionally, through the mortgage refinances that the Company executed since March 31, 2020, our lenders required us to put an additional $9.6 million into escrows related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These escrows will be released back to us upon the cessation of all governmental emergency declarations and certain other property-level commitments such as tenant improvementsperformance conditions.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $40.1 million and leasing commissions.

Netnet cash provided by financing activities for the three-month periodsperiod ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $186.8 million. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, payments for redemptions of preferred stock totaled approximately $40.0 million, and $65.8as compared to approximately $9.9 million respectively. Our significant financing cash sources were approximately $89.4 million and $128.6 million of netfor the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. Net proceeds from the issuancedraws on our revolving line of Preferred Stockcredit were $18.0 million for the 2020 and 2019 periods respectively, and approximately $81.4three-month period ended March 31, 2021, versus $191.5 million and $57.3 million of net proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions for the 2020 and 2019 periods respectively. The decrease in proceeds from the issuance of Preferred Stock in the 2020three-month period was related to the closure of our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering during the quarter, as our Series A1/M1 offering was gaining traction as our primary equity raising vehicle.ended March 31, 2020.

Distributions


In order to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, our objective is to meet our short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of our quarterly Common Stock dividends, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, mShares, Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, our Preferred Stock), through net cash generated from operating results.


Our board of directors reviews the Preferred Stock dividends monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Preferred Stock dividends will consistently be paid in cash. Dividends may be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. We expect the aggregate dollar amount of monthly Preferred Stock dividend payments to increase at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new shares of Preferred Stock, less those shares redeemed.


Our first quarter 20202021 Common Stock dividend declaration of $0.2625was $0.175 per share represented an overall increase of 110.0% from our initial Common Stock dividend per share of $0.125 following our IPO, or an average annual dividend growth rate of approximately 12.6% over the same period.share. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.


We believe that our short-term liquidity needs areare and will continue to be adequately funded.


For the quarterthree months ended March 31, 2020,2021, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $45.8$42.9 million and our net cash usedprovided by operating activities were approximately $69.4$48.4 million. We expect our cash flow from operations over time to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends, Class A Unit distributionsdistributions and our monthly Preferred Stock dividends.


Long-Term Liquidity Needs


We believe our principal long-term liquidity needs are to fund:


the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures;
capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;
costs associated with current and future capital raising activities;

costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers office properties or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing lending opportunities; and
our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status.


We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our Series A1/M1 Offering (as defined and described in note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.
    
On September 27, 2019, our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-233576) (the “Series A1/M1 Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Series A1/M1 Registration Statement allows us to offer up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock or a combination of both. The stated price per share is $1,000, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. The shares are being offered by our affiliate, Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”), on a "reasonable best efforts" basis, and we intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the Series A1/M1 Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers, office buildings, real estate loans and mortgages, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

an offering of up to 1,000,000 Shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A1 Preferred Stock"), Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series M1 Preferred Stock"), or a combination of both (collectively the "Series A1/M1 Offering"); and


an offering of up to $400 million of equity or debt securities (the "2019 Shelf Offering"), including an offering of up to $125 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2019 ATM Offering"). under our $400 million shelf registration statement (the "2019 Shelf Registration Statement") on Form S-3 that was filed with the SEC on March 21, 2019.



ForDuring the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, nofirst quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,898 shares of our common stock were issued under our 2019 ATM Offering. Our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering expired on February 14, 2020.Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 44,220 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net redemption of 6,322 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net redemption cost of $9.5 million.


Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our securitiessecurities is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about us, and the current trading price of our Common Stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the equity and credit markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive to us or at all. In addition, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital markets, including the availability and costs of debt and equity capital, remain uncertain and may have material adverse effects on our access to capital on attractive terms.


The sources to fulfill our long-term liquidity in the future may include borrowings from a number of sources, including repurchase agreements, securitizations, resecuritizations, warehouse facilities and credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), in addition to our Revolving Line of Credit. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage in making our investments in multifamily communities and retail shopping centers. The number of different multifamily communities, retail shopping centers and other investments we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including the amount of funds available to us. By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio.


We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the fair market value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loans, notes receivable, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis. As of March 31, 2020, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 53% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at March 31, 2020. Neither our charter nor our by-laws contain any limitation on the amount of leverage we may use. These targets, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments.

The amount of leverage we will place on particularindividual investments will depend on our assessment of a variety of factors which may include theinclude:

The anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio, theportfolio;
The potential for losses and loan extension risk in the portfolio, theportfolio;
The availability and cost of financing the asset, ouran asset;
Our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, thecounterparties; and
The health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general.

In addition, factors such as our outlook on interest rates, changes into the yield curve, slope, the level and volatility of

interest rates and their associated credit spreads, the underlying collateralvalue of our assets and our outlook on credit spreads relative to our outlook on interest rate and economic performance could all impact our decision and strategy for financing the target assets. At the date of acquisition of eachan asset, we anticipate that the investment cost for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. Finally, we intend to acquire all our real estate assets through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these assets using debt financing techniques for that asset alone without any cross-collateralization to our other real estate assets or any guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels, except for our Revolving Line of Credit.
Our secured and unsecured aggregate borrowings are intended by us to be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. In determining whether our borrowings are reasonable in relation to our tangible assets, we expect that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily
59


properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.


Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our credit ratings (if any), the value of our assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (from both(who have been a significant and consistent source of whom we have obtained single asset secured financing on all of ourto the Company and the multifamily communities)market generally), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us. It is important to note that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are both GSEs (Government Sponsored Entities). GSE reform has been a topic of debate in Congress for several years now, and it is possible that Congress or the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) could materially change the terms and/or availability of mortgage debt to the multifamily industry. These or other changes to the multifamily lending programs of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae could materially affect our ability to acquire or refinance assets.


If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we may have to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times in order to maintain our REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions and certain rules applicable to REITs. We may not be able to sell a property or properties as quickly as we would like or on terms as favorable as we would like.


Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher costs of financing, then the interest expense relating to that financed indebtedness would be higher. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Finally, sellers may be less inclined to offer to sell to us if they believe we may be unable to obtain financing.


As of March 31, 2020, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.6 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had approximately $120.1$32.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continuecontinue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had 1,543,260 outstanding Warrants fromlong term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.6 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our sales of Units. The Warrants are exercisable byreal estate properties, as presented in the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant, with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share for Warrants issued after February 15, 2017. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. table:

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we have variable rate mortgages on the properties listed in following table.

Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.0% over LIBOR as of March 31, 2020;2021; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of the Revolving Line of Credit and Acquisition Credit Facility instruments, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal.


We have and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:


maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;
place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and
take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity financings.
We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.


If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-basedLIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2020,2021, would increase by approximately $0.9 million$569,000 or decrease by approximately $1.0 million$47,000 on an annualized basis.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

The Company is supplementing the risk factors set forth under Item 1A.    Risk Factors

    A description of certain factors that may affect our future results and risk factors is set forth inits our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("2019 Annual Report") with the additional2020. As of March 31, 2021, there have been no material changes in our risk factor set forth below. This supplemental risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2019 Annual Report.year ended December 31, 2020.


The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus, (“COVID-19”), or the future outbreak or pandemic of any other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could have a material and adverse effect on or cause disruption to the Company’s business or financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and the market value and trading price of the Company’ securities.

A novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and has since spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency. Since that time, efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified. Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders, and it remains unclear how long such measures will remain in place. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting almost every industry directly or indirectly.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Operations

Our operating results depend, in large part, on revenues derived from leasing apartment homes in our communities to residential tenants, the ability of our residents to earn sufficient income to pay their rents in a timely manner, the extent to which we waive late and other customary fees associated with the apartment rental process, and our ability to limit bad debt and maintain operating results by evicting and re-leasing apartment homes when residents remain delinquent in their payment of rent. Additionally, a prolonged imposition of mandated closures or other social-distancing guidelines may adversely impact our retail and office tenants’ ability to generate sufficient revenues, and could force tenants to default on their leases, or result in the tenant’s bankruptcy or insolvency, which would diminish the Company’s ability to receive rental revenue it is owed under their leases. The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact on the Company.  A number of the our office and retail tenants have announced mandated or temporary closures of their operations and/or have requested adjustments to their lease terms during this pandemic. Experts predict that the COVID-19 pandemic will trigger a period of global economic slowdown or a global recession. COVID-19 (or a future pandemic) could have a material and adverse effect on or cause disruption to our business or financial condition, results from operations, cash flows and the market value and trading price of our common stock due to, among other factors:

A complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at the Company’s properties as a result of government or tenant action;

In the event of resident nonpayment, default or bankruptcy, the uncollectibility of rent could increase and we may not be able to re-lease apartment homes at current or projected rents. Our occupancy levels and pricing across our portfolio may decline due to changes in demand or logistical challenges in showing or leasing apartment homes to prospective residents, including restrictions inhibiting our employees’ ability to meet with existing or potential residents;

Our properties may also incur significant costs or losses related to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, infection, clean-up costs or other related factors;

The declines in or instability of the economy or financial markets may result in a recession or negatively impact consumer discretionary spending, which could adversely affect retailers and consumers;

The reduction of economic activity may severely impact our office and retail tenants' business operations, financial condition, liquidity and access to capital resources and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, to default on their lease, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;

A general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions would adversely affect the Company’s ability to successfully execute investment strategies or expand its portfolio; and

The potential negative impact on the health of the Company’s associates or Board of Directors, particularly if a significant number are impacted, or the impact of government actions or restrictions, including stay-at-home orders, restricting access to our headquarters located in Atlanta, Georgia, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the outbreak and containment measures, among others. COVID-19presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our performance, business or financial condition, results from operations and cash flows.

Impact of COVID-19 on Liquidity and Financing

As a result of the current economic downturn, the real estate market may be unable to attract the same level of capital investment that it attracted before the COVID-19 pandemic, and there may be a reduction in the number of companies seeking to acquire properties, which may result in the value of our properties not appreciating, or decreasing significantly below the amount for which we acquired or developed them. This may also limit our ability to sell our properties, realize a cash return on our investment and reinvest the sales proceeds in new properties.  In light of the severe economic, market and other disruptions worldwide being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that conditions in the bank lending, capital and other financial markets will not continue to deteriorate as a result of the pandemic, or that our access to capital and other sources of funding will not become constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings.

Additional financial impacts include the following:

A significant reduction in our cash flows could impact the Company’s ability to continue paying cash dividends to its common and preferred stockholders at expected levels or at all;

Increased redemption activity by holders of our preferred stock could impact our cash availability and liquidity strength and, to the extent we make redemptions of our Preferred Stock in shares of our Common Stock, further dilute stockholder’s ownership interests; and

The financial impact of COVID-19 could negatively affect the Company’s future compliance with financial and other covenants of the Company’s credit facility and other debt instruments, and the failure to comply with such covenants could result in a default that accelerates the payment of such indebtedness

Item 5.Other Information

On May 4, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. (“PAC-OP”), PAC Carveout, LLC (“Carveout”; and together with PAC-OP, collectively, the “Borrowers”) and Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain Amendment No. 3 to Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent (“KeyBank”), to amend the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 5, 2016 that governs PAC-OP’s existing $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date
66


for the Revolving Facility, added Carveout as a borrower and modified certain of the financial covenants. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Facility was approximately $40.0 million.

The Borrowers may use the available proceeds under the Revolving Facility, on an as needed basis, to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends and working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company is the general partner of, and as of March 31, 2021, owner of an approximately 98.9% interest in, PAC-OP, and PAC-OP is the owner of a 100% interest in Carveout.

The Revolving Facility has a maturity date of May 4, 2024, with an option, subject to certain conditions described therein, to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). At the Borrowers’ election, loans made under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either: (x) the greater of: (1) to KeyBank’s “prime rate”; (2) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%; and (3) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, (the “Base Rate”), or (y) the one- or three-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency (the “Eurodollar Rate”), as selected by the Borrowers, plus an applicable margin.

On the Closing Date, the applicable margin for Eurodollar Rate loans under the Revolving Facility is 3.50% and the applicable margin for Base Rate loans under the Revolving Facility is 2.50%. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, and continuing with each fiscal quarter thereafter, KeyBank shall determine the applicable margin in accordance with the following matrix:

Item 5.Leverage RatioOther InformationApplicable Revolving Loan Margin for Base Rate LoansApplicable Revolving Loan Margin for Eurodollar Loans
Greater than or equal to 60.0%250 bps350 bps
Greater than or equal to 55.0% but less than 60.0%200 bps300 bps
Greater than or equal to 45.0% but less than 55.0%175 bps275 bps
Less than 45.0%150 bps250 bps

None.

Commitment fees on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility are payable at a rate per annum of (i) 0.20% if the unused portion of the Revolving Facility is greater than or equal to 50% of the total commitment amount or (ii) 0.25% if the unused portion of the Revolving Facility is less than 50% of the total commitment amount. All Principal under the Revolving Facility is payable in full on the Maturity Date.


The Borrowers have the right to prepay amounts owing under the Revolving Facility, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to any breakage costs and minimum repayment amounts of $1,000,000 on Eurodollar Rate loans and $1,000,000 on Base Rate loans.

Interest on Base Rate loans is payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month. Interest on Eurodollar Rate loans is payable at the end of each interest rate period applicable thereto.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility continue to be secured by, among other things, a pledge by PAC-OP of 100% of the ownership of each of its current and future real estate loan subsidiaries (the “Real Estate Loan Subsidiaries”), a pledge by PAC-OP of 49% of the ownership (the “49% Pledged Interests”) of each of its current and future real estate subsidiaries (the “Real Estate Subsidiaries”), a joint and several repayment guaranty from the Company and each of the Real Estate Loan Subsidiaries, and a collateral assignment of loan documents by each of the Real Estate Loan Subsidiaries and PAC-OP. In addition, PAC-OP and certain of its wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries have entered into buy-sell agreements with KeyBank for each of the Real Estate Subsidiaries so that, following a foreclosure by KeyBank on the 49% Pledged Interests, KeyBank can trigger a process where PAC-OP or one of its wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries, as applicable, can buy the 49% Pledged Interest from KeyBank or KeyBank can buy the non-pledged 51% ownership interest of PAC-OP or one of its wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries, as applicable, in each of such Real Estate Subsidiaries.
