Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any subsequent interim period.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 19, 2020.29, 2021. Except for those required by new accounting pronouncements discussed below, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.

interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by the OP. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding revenue recognition, purchase price allocations to record investments in real estate, and fair value measurements, as applicable.
Non-controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests represent the portion of the equity in the OP that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets and presented as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Non-controlling interests are allocated a share of net loss based on their share of equity ownership. Prior to the Listing, the Advisor held 37 units of limited partnership designated as “Class A Units” (“Class A Units”), after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, which represented a nominal percentage of the aggregate OP ownership. These Class A Units were redeemed for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock on the Listing Date. As of March 31, 2021, 13,100 Class A Units held by a third party were still outstanding and represent a non-controlling interest in the OP. In addition, under the multi-year outperformance agreement with the Advisor (the “2020 OPP”), the OP issued a new class of units of limited partnership designated as LTIP Units (“LTIP Units”) during 2020, which are also reflected as part of non-controlling interest as of March 31, 2021. See Note 7 - Stockholders’ Equity and Note 11 - Equity-Based Compensation for additional information on amounts recorded in non-controlling interests during the first quarter of 2021.

Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. During the first quarter of 2020, there was athe global outbreak of a novel coronavirus, (the virusCOVID-19 pandemic that causes COVID-19), which has spread to over 200 countriesaround the world and territories, including the United States, and has spread to every state in the United States.States commenced. The World Health Organizationpandemic has designated COVID-19 as a pandemic,had and numerous countries, including the United States,could continue to have declared national emergencies with respect to COVID-19. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel, closing financial markets and/or restricting trading and operations of non-essential offices and retail centers. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continuedan adverse impact on economic and market conditions and triggertriggered a period of global economic slowdown. The continued rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates underlying its consolidated financial statements and believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2020, however uncertainty over2021. However, given the ultimate impactrapid evolution of the COVID-19 will have onpandemic and the global economy generally, and the Company’s business in particular, makes anyresponse to curb its spread, these estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 20202021 are inherently less certain than they would be absent the currentactual and potential impacts of COVID-19.the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

The Company’s properties remain accessible to all tenants, while each tenant operates under the appropriatealthough, even as operating restrictions.restrictions expire, not all tenants have resumed operations. In addition, as operating restrictions expire, operating costs may begin to rise, including for services, labor and personal protective equipment and other supplies, as the Company’s property managers take appropriate actions to protect tenants and property management personnel. Some of these costs may be recoverable through reimbursement from tenants.tenants but others will be borne by the Company. In addition, one of the Company’s tenants, Knotel, Inc. (“Knotel”), which was a tenant at the Company’s 123 William Street and 9 Times Square properties, declared bankruptcy in early 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company put Knotel on a cash basis of accounting and fully reserved all receivables from Knotel with the exception of security deposits held, which was reflected as a reduction in

revenue from tenants during the period ended December 31, 2020. Management has already re-leased a portion of the vacant space and is working on securing additional new leases, although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to lease all or any portion of the currently vacant space at any property on acceptable or favorable terms, or at all.
The financial stability and overall health of tenants is critical to the Company’s business. The negative effects that the global pandemic has had on the economy includes the closure or reduction in activity for many retail operations such as some of those operated by the Company’s tenants. This has impacted the ability of some of the Company’s tenants to pay their monthly rent either temporarily or in the long term. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reduced revenue from tenants by $8.5 million for reserves recorded during the period on receivables for which the related tenants have been put on a cash basis. The Company has already experiencedcontinued to experience delays in rent collections induring 2021. In the monthfirst quarter of April.2021, there has been no rental income received from any of the tenants that were previously placed on a cash basis. The Company has taken a proactive approach to achieve mutually agreeable solutions with its tenants and in some cases, in 2020 and 2021, the Company has executed rent deferraldifferent types of lease amendments. These agreements included deferrals and abatements and, in April 2020. some cases, extensions to the term of the leases. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company executed lease amendments with multiple tenants, which include deferrals, abatements, extensions to the terms of the lease, and in one instance, a reduction of the lease term.
As a result of the financial difficulties of the Company’s tenants and early lease terminations, the Company is in breach of debt covenants at its 1140 Avenue of Americas, 9 Times Square, and Laurel/Riverside properties under the non-recourse mortgages for those properties. These breaches caused cash trap events. Refer to Note 4 - Mortgage Notes Payable, Net for further details regarding these breaches.
For accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC 842: Leases, normally a company would be required to assess thea lease modification to determine if the lease modification should be treated as a separate lease and if not, modification accounting would be applied which would require a company to reassess the classification of the lease.lease (including leases for which the prior classification under ASC 840 was retained as part of the election to apply the package of practical expedients allowed upon the adoption of ASC 842, which does not apply to leases subsequently modified). However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in which many leases are being modified, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB and SEC hashave provided relief that will allowallows companies to make a policy election as to whether they treat COVID-19 related lease amendments as a provision included in the pre-concession arrangement, and therefore, not a lease modification, or to treat the lease amendment as a modification. In order to be considered COVID-19 related, cash flows must be substantially the same or less than those prior to the concession. If the cash flows are substantially the same or less,For COVID-19 relief qualified changes, there are two methods to potentially account for such rent deferrals or abatements under the relief, (1) as if nothe changes towere originally contemplated in the lease contract were made, andor (2) as if the deferred payments are variable lease payments. Under method (1), a lessorpayments contained in the lease contract. For all other lease changes that did not qualify for FASB relief, the Company would increase itsbe required to apply modification accounting including assessing classification under ASC 842.
Some, but not all of the Company’s lease receivable and a lessee would increase its accounts payablemodifications qualify for the FASB relief. In accordance with the relief provisions, instead of treating these qualifying leases as receivables/payments accrue. In its income statement, a lessor would continue to recognize revenue duringmodifications, the deferral period. The Company has elected to use method (2)treat the modifications as if previously contained in the lease and therefore will haverecast rents receivable prospectively (if necessary). Under that accounting, for modifications that were deferrals only, there would be no changeimpact on overall rental revenue and for any abatement amounts that reduced total rent to be received, the impact would be recognized ratably over the remaining life of the lease.
For leases not qualifying for this relief, the Company applied modification accounting and determined that there were no changes in the current classification of its leases in connection with many of the leases impacted by negotiations with its tenants.

The Company’s revenues, which are derived primarily from lease contracts, include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. As of March 31, 2020,2021, these leases had an averagea weighted-average remaining lease term of 6.86.9 years. Because many of the Company’s leases provide for rental increases at specified intervals, straight-line basis accounting requires that the Company record a receivable for, and include in revenue from tenants, unbilled rent receivables that the Company will receive if the tenant makes all rent payments required through the expiration of the initial term of the lease. When the Company acquires a property, the acquisition date is considered to be the commencement date for purposes of this calculation. For new leases after acquisition, the commencement date is considered to be the date the tenant takes control of the space. For lease modifications, the commencement date is considered to be the date the lease modification is executed. The Company defers the revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. Pursuant to certain of the Company’s lease agreements, tenants are required to reimburse the Company for certain property operating expenses (recorded in total revenue from tenants), in addition to

paying base rent, whereas under certain other lease agreements, the tenants are directly responsible for all operating costs of the respective properties. Under ASC 842, the Company has elected to report combined lease and non-lease components in a single line “Revenue from tenants.” For comparative purposes, the Company reflected prior revenue and reimbursements reported under ASC 842 also on a single line. For expenses paid directly by the tenant, under both ASC 842 and 840, the Company has reflected them on a net basis.    
The following tables present future base rent payments due to the Company over the next five years and thereafter. These amounts exclude contingent rent payments, as applicable, that may be collected from certain tenants based on provisions related to sales thresholds and increases in annual rent based on exceeding certain economic indexes, among other items.

The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent and unbilled rents receivable and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Under ASC 842,the leasing standard adopted on January 1, 2019, the Company is required to assess, based on credit risk, if it’sit is probable that itthe Company will collect virtually all of the lease payments at the lease commencement date and it must continue to reassess collectability periodically thereafter based on new facts and circumstances affecting the credit risk of the tenant. In fiscal 2020 and 2021, this assessment would includehas included consideration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on ourthe Company’s tenant’s ability to pay rents in accordance with their contracts. Partial reserves, or the ability to assume partial recovery are no longer permitted. If the Company determines that it’sit is probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments (base rent and additional rent), the lease will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis (i.e. straight-line). However, if the Company determines it’sit is not probable that it will collect virtually all of the lease payments, the lease will be accounted for on a cash basis and a full reserve wouldthe straight line rent receivable accrued will be recorded on previously accrued amounts in caseswritten off where it was subsequently concluded that collection was not probable. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in operating revenue from tenants in accordance with newcurrent accounting rules, on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period the related costs are incurred, as applicable.
In accordance with the lease accounting rules the Company records uncollectable amounts as reductions in revenue from tenants. During the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, the Company reduced lease income by $5,000 for amounts deemed uncollectable during the period. There were 0had no such reductions recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Investments in Real Estate
The Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are recorded as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are generally capitalized and subsequently amortized over the useful life of the acquired asset. See Purchase Price Allocation section in this Note for a discussion of the initial accounting for investments in real estate.

Disposal of real estate investments that represent a strategic shift in operations that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results are required to be presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. No properties were presented as discontinued operations duringrevenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, or 2019.
Properties that are intended to be sold are to be designated as “heldthe Company reduced revenue from tenants by $5,000 for sale”reserves recorded during the period on receivables for which the consolidated balance sheets atrelated tenants have been put on a cash basis (see accounting policy above). During the lesser of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs when they meet specific criteria to be presented as held for sale, most significantly that the sale is probable within one year. The Company evaluates probability of sale based on specific facts including whether a sales agreement is in place and the buyer has made significant non-refundable deposits. Properties are no longer depreciated when they are classified as held for sale. As of Marchyear ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company did notreduced revenue from tenants by $8.5 million for reserves recorded during the period on receivables for which the related tenants have been put on a cash basis. In the first quarter of 2021, no rental income was received from any properties held for sale.
As more fully discussed in this Note under Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - ASU No. 2016-02 Leases, all of the Company’s leases as lessor prior to adoption of ASC 842tenants that were accounted for as operating leases and will continue to be accounted for as operating leases under the transition guidance. The Company will evaluate new leases originated after the adoption date (by the Company or by a predecessor lessor/owner) pursuant to the new guidance where a lease for some or all of a building is classified by a lessor as a sales-type lease if the significant risks and rewards of ownership reside with the tenant. This situation is met if, among other things, there is an automatic transfer of title during the lease, a bargain purchase option, the non-cancelable lease term is for more than major part of remaining economic useful life of the asset (e.g., equal to or greater than 75%), if the present value of the minimum lease payments represents substantially all (e.g., equal to or greater than 90%) of the leased property’s fair value at lease inception, or if the asset so specialized in nature that it provides no alternative use to the lessor (and therefore would not provide any future value to the lessor) after the lease term. Further, such new leases would be evaluated to consider whether they would be failed sale-leaseback transactions and accounted for as financing transactions by the lessor. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has no leases as a lessor that would be considered as sales-type leases or financings under sale-leaseback rules.
The Company is also the lessee under a land lease which was previously classified, prior to adoption of ASC 842, and will continue to be classified as an operating lease under transition elections unless subsequently modified. This lease is reflected on the balance sheet and the rent expense is reflectedplaced on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Purchase Price Allocation
In both a business combination and an asset acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets or liabilities based on their respective fair values. Tangible assets may include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an if vacantcash basis. Intangible assets may include the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases and other identifiable assets or liabilities based on lease or property specific characteristics. In addition, any assumed mortgages receivable or payable and any assumed or issued non-controlling interests (in a business combination) are recorded at their estimated fair values. In allocating the fair value to assumed mortgages, amounts are recorded to debt premiums or discounts based on the present value of the estimated cash flows, which is calculated to account for either above or below-market interest rates. In a business combination, the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is either recorded as goodwill or as a bargain purchase gain. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the acquisition price (including capitalized transaction costs) and the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is allocated to the non-current assets. There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
For acquired properties with leases classified as operating leases, the Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, the Company utilizes a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of the Company’s pre-acquisition due diligence in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed.
Tangible assets include land, land improvements, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements on an as-if vacant basis. The Company utilizes various estimates, processes and information to determine the as-if vacant property value. Estimates of value are made using customary methods, including data from appraisals, comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis and other methods. Fair value estimates are also made using significant assumptions such as capitalization rates, discount rates, fair market lease rates and land values per square foot.

Identifiable intangible assets include amounts allocated to acquire leases for above- and below-market lease rates and the value of in-place leases as applicable. Factors considered in the analysis of the in-place lease intangibles include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up period for each property, taking into account current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at contract rates during the expected lease-up period, which typically ranges from six to 24 months. The Company also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining initial term of the lease for above-market leases and the remaining initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.
The aggregate value of intangible assets related to customer relationship, as applicable, is measured based on the Company's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company's overall relationship with the tenant. Characteristics considered by the Company in determining these values include the nature and extent of its existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. The Company did not record any intangible asset amounts related to customer relationships during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
Gains on sales of rental real estate after January 1, 2018 are not considered sales to customers and will generally be recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”). The Company did not have any dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the property for impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors. If an impairment exists, due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss recorded would equal the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset. These assessments have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment loss results in an immediate negative adjustment to net earnings. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.
Accounting for Leases
Lessor Accounting
As a lessor of real estate, the Company has elected, by class of underlying assets, to account for lease and non-lease components (such as tenant reimbursements of property operating expenses) as a single lease component as an operating lease because (a) the non-lease components have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the associated lease component; and (b) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs may be capitalized under the accounting guidance. Indirect leasing costs in connection with new or extended tenant leases, if any, are being expensed.
Lessee Accounting
For lessees, the accounting standard requires the application of a dual lease classification approach, classifying leases as either operating or finance leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while lease expense for finance leases is recognized based on an effective interest method over the term of the lease. Also, lessees must recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Further, certain transactions where at inception of the lease the buyer-lessor accounted for the transaction as a purchase of real estate and a new lease, may now be required to have symmetrical accounting to the seller-lessee if the transaction was not a qualified sale-leaseback

and accounted for as a financing transaction. For additional information and disclosures related to the Company’s operating leases, see Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 40 years for buildings, 15 years  for land improvements, 5 years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests.
The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, is amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
The value of customer relationship intangibles, if any, is amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. If a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles is charged to expense.
Assumed mortgage premiums or discounts are amortized as an increase or reduction to interest expense over the remaining terms of the respective mortgages.
Above and Below-Market Lease Amortization
Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of revenue from tenants over the remaining terms of the respective leases and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to revenue from tenants over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. If a tenant with a below-market rent renewal does not renew, any remaining unamortized amount will be taken into income at that time.
Capitalized above-market ground lease values are amortized as a reduction of property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market ground lease values are amortized as an increase to property operating expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted as of January 1, 2020:2020
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amended guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,, which changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at

amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the amended standard requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. On July 25, 2018, the FASB proposed an amendment to ASU 2016-13 to clarify that operating lease receivables recorded by lessors (including unbilled straight-line rent) are explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2016-13. The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The objective of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by removing, modifying, and adding certain fair value disclosure requirements to facilitate clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The amended guidance is effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2020. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2020 and determined it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Pending Adoption as of March 31, 2021
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). The new standard reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity. The standard also amends and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard allows for either modified or full retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in Topic 848 is optional and may be elected over the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to (i) the assertion that the Company’s hedged forecasted transactions remain probable and (ii) the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of the Company’s derivatives, which will be consistent with the Company’s past presentation. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable, as additional changes in the market occur.

The Company’sCompany has been in breach of a debt service coverage provision and a reserve fund reserve provision under its non-recourse mortgage notes payablesecured by the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property for the last three quarters. These breaches are not events of default, rather they require compliance with certain property-levelexcess cash (after payment of operating costs, debt covenants.service and capital/tenant replacement reserves) to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenants for this loan may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage for the property is maintained, whereupon the additional collateral will be released. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company has $4.1 million cash retained by the lender and maintained in restricted cash associated with this event, all of which relate to the non-recourse mortgage secured by the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property. Currently, the Company has not cured the breaches through any other means. The Company can remain subject to this reserve requirement through maturity of the loan without further penalty or ramifications.
The Company has also been in breach of a debt service coverage and debt yield covenants under its non-recourse mortgage secured by the 9 Times Square property for the last two quarters. These breaches are not events of default, but rather require the Company to enter into a cash management period whereby all rents and other revenue of the property are to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenants may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage and debt yield for the property is maintained. The Company may remain in breach of the covenants for up to four consecutive quarters. In the near term, the Company anticipates funding interest shortfalls on this loan out of cash on hand.
The Company also breached a debt service coverage covenant under its non-recourse mortgage secured by 400 E. 67th Street - Laurel Condominium/200 Riverside Boulevard - Icon Garage in the first quarter of 2021. This breach is not an event of default but rather requires the Company to enter into a cash management period whereby all rents and other revenue of the property are to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenant may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage for the property is maintained. The Company can remain subject to this reserve requirement through maturity of the loan without further penalty or ramifications.
The Company is currently in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant under the non-recourse mortgage secured by 8713 Fifth Avenue. However, in the event of a breach of this covenant, such breach would not result in an event of default but rather would trigger an excess cash flow sweep period. If this were to occur, the Company has the ability to avoid such an excess cash flow sweep period by electing to fund a reserve in the amount of $125,000 of additional collateral in cash or as a letter of credit. The Company has the ability to continue to avoid the excess cash flow sweep period by funding an additional $125,000 each quarter until the debt service coverage ratio covenant breach is cured in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, whereupon, provided no other excess cash flow sweep trigger exists at such time, the full amount of the reserve will be returned to the Company. If the Company does not elect to continue to fund the $125,000 additional collateral in a subsequent quarter, then the excess flow sweep period would commence in such quarter and continue until the debt service coverage ratio covenant breach is cured in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
The Company was in compliance with the debtremaining covenants under its other mortgage note agreements.notes payable as of March 31, 2021, however, it continues to monitor compliance with those provisions. If the Company experiences additional lease terminations, due to tenant bankruptcies or otherwise, it is possible that certain of the covenants on other loans may be breached and the Company may also become restricted from accessing excess cash flows from those properties. Similar to the loans discussed above, the Company’s other mortgages also contain cash management provisions that are not considered events of default, and as such, acceleration of principal would only occur upon an event of default.

LIBOR Transition
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority confirmed a partial extension of this deadline, announcing that it will cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021. The remaining USD LIBOR settings will continue to be published through June 30, 2023. The Company is not able to predict when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR market. The Company is monitoring and evaluating the risks related to changes in LIBOR availability, which include potential changes in interest paid on debt and amounts received and paid on interest rate swaps. In addition, the value of debt or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR will also be impacted as LIBOR is limited and discontinued and contracts must be transitioned to a new alternative rate. While the Company expects LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that time. This could occur, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator.
The Company has a mortgage loan agreement and a related derivative agreement for a “pay-fixed” swap that have terms based on LIBOR. Those agreements have alternative rates already contained in the agreements, and the Company anticipates that it will either utilize the alternative rates contained in the agreements or negotiate a replacement reference rate for LIBOR with the lenders and derivative counterparties.

Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the instrument. This alternative approach also reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, as applicable, including the period to maturity, and may use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, and unobservable inputs, such as expected volatility. The guidance defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial Instruments CarriedMeasured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative Instruments
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilitiesderivative instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with this derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. However, as of March 31, 20202021, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and December 31, 2019.has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivatives valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the counterparties.

Note 6 — Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company currently uses derivative financial instruments, including an interest rate swap, and may in the future use others, including options, floors and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative or other purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company endeavors to only enter into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
On March 28, 2019, the Company entered into a forward starting five-year interest rate swap which became effective on May 1, 2019. The Company entered into this derivative in order to lock-in and swap the floating rate interest on its term loan encumbering the Company’s 9 Times Square property to a fixed rate. Upon entering into the swap, the Company paid a deposit of $0.8 million which was refunded at the closing of the new financing for the 9 Times Square property effective as of April 26, 2019.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the cap strike rate on the contract and payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the quarterthree months ended March 31, 20202021 and year ended December 31, 2019,2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $1.0$1.1 million will be reclassified from other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense.
As of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had the following derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Prior to this amendment, the variable management fee was equal to (i) the product of (a) the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock for the calendar quarter (excluding any equity-based awards that are subject to performance metrics that are not currently achieved) multiplied by (b) 15.0% multiplied by (c) the excess of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share (as defined in the Second Advisory Agreement) for the previous three-month period in excess of $0.06, plus (ii) the product of (x) the diluted weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock for the calendar quarter (excluding any equity-based awards that are subject to performance metrics that are not currently achieved) multiplied by (y) 10.0% multiplied by (z) the excess of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share for the previous three-month period in excess of $0.08. Following the August 2020 amendment, the quarterly thresholds of Core Earnings Per Adjusted Share increased from$0.06 and $0.08 to$0.1458 and $0.1944.The variable management fee is payable quarterly in arrears in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, units of limited partnership interest in the OP units or a combination thereof, at the Advisor’s election.

The Class B Units were intended to be profits interests that would vest, and no longer subject to forfeiture, at such time as: (a) the value of the OP’s assets plus all distributions made by the Company to its stockholders equaled or exceeded the total amount of capital contributed by investors plus a 6.0% cumulative, pretax, non-compounded annual return thereon, (the “Economic Hurdle”); (b) any one of the following events occurred concurrently with or subsequently to the achievement of the Economic Hurdle: (i) a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) a transaction to which the Company or the OP was a party, as a result of which OP units or the Company’s common stock were exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such securities will otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof; or (iii) the termination of the advisory agreement without cause by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s independent directors after the Economic Hurdle had been met;

and (c) the Advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement was providing services to the Company immediately prior to the occurrence of an event of the type described in clause (b) above (the “performance condition”).
Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of the OP, the Advisor was entitled to receive distributions on Class B Units, whether vested or unvested, at the same rate as distributions, if any, received on the Company’s common stock. Such distributions on issued Class B Units, if any, were expensed in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss until the performance condition was considered probable to occur. As a result of the Listing, which satisfied the performance condition, and the prior determination by the Company’s independent directors that the Economic Hurdle, had been satisfied, the Class B Units vested in accordance with their terms and were converted into an equal number of Class A Units. In addition, effective at the Listing following this conversion and as approved by the Company’s independent directors, 52,398 Class A Units, which were then held by the Advisor, were redeemed for an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A common stock consistent with redemption provisions contained in the A&R OP Agreement. As a result of the conversion of all 65,498 Class B Units into Class A Units, the Company recorded a non-cash expense of approximately $1.2 million which was recorded in vesting and conversion of Class B Units in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining Class A Units, which were still held by a third party and not redeemed as of March 31, 2021, were submitted for redemption for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock in September 2020 and this redemption is expected to be completed later in 2021.

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of the OP, upon a liquidation or sale of all or substantially allwhich was amended and restated in connection with the effectiveness of the Listing on the Listing Date (as so amended and restated, the “A&R OP Agreement”), in the event the Company’s assets, including throughshares of common stock was listed on a merger or sale of stock, New York Citynational exchange, the OP was obligated to distribute to the Special Limited Partnership, LLCPartner a promissory note in an aggregate amount (the “Special Limited Partner”“Listing Amount”), a subsidiary of AR Global, which is the special limited partner of the OP, will be entitled to receive a subordinated distribution from the OP equal to 15.0% of remainingthe difference (to the extent the result is a positive number) between:
the sum of (i) (A) the average closing price of the shares of Class A common stock over the Measurement Period (as defined below) multiplied by the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Listing, plus (B) the sum of all distributions or dividends (from any source) paid by the Company to its stockholders prior to the Listing; and (ii) (X) the aggregate purchase price (without deduction for organization and offering expenses or any other underwriting discount, commissions or offering expenses) of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, plus (Y) the total amount of cash that, if distributed to the stockholders who purchased shares of the Company’s common stock in the initial public offering, would have provided those stockholders with a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded, pre-tax annual return on the aggregate purchase price of shares sold in the initial public offering through the listing, minus any distributions of net salesales proceeds made to the Special Limited Partner prior to the end of the Measurement Period (as defined below).
Effective at the Listing, the OP entered into a listing note agreement with respect to this obligation (the “Listing Note”) with the Special Limited Partner. The Listing Note evidences the OP’s obligation to distribute to the Special Limited Partner the Listing Amount, which will be calculated based on the Market Value of the Company’s common stock. Until the end of the 30 consecutive trading dates commencing on the 180th day after returnall of capital contributionsthe shares of the Company’s Class B common stock have fully converted into shares of Class A common stock and are eligible for trading on the NYSE (the “Measurement Period”), the final value of the Listing Note will not be determinable. Until the amount of the Listing Note can be determined, the Listing Note will be considered a liability which will be marked to investors plus paymentfair value at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The fair value of the Listing Note at issuance on the Listing Date (August 18, 2020) and at March 31, 2021 was nominal and was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, which uses a combination of observable and unobservable inputs. The fair value of the Listing Note, if any, will be paid at the end of the Measurement Period. The Special Partner has the right to receive distributions of Net Sales Proceeds (as defined in the Listing Note), until the Listing Note is paid in full; provided that, the Special Limited Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to convert its entire special limited partnership interest in the OP into Class A Units.

Multi-Year Outperformance Agreement
The amendments effected to the limited partnership agreement of the OP pursuant to the A&R OP Agreement generally reflect provisions more consistent with the agreements of limited partnership of other operating partnerships controlled by real estate investment trusts with securities that are publicly traded and listed and make other changes in light of the transactions entered into by the Company in connection with the Listing. The A&R OP Agreement sets forth the terms of a new class of units of limited partnership designated as “LTIP Units” (“LTIP Units”), which includes the Master LTIP Unit (the “Master LTIP Unit”) issued to the Advisor on August 18, 2020 pursuant to a multi-year outperformance award agreement entered into with the Advisor (the “2020 OPP”).
In addition, the A&R OP Agreement describes the procedures pursuant to which holders of Class A Units may redeem all or a portion of their Class A Units on a one-for-one basis for, at the Company’s election, shares of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof. The A&R OP Agreement also requires the Company, upon the request of a holder of Class A Units but subject to certain conditions and limitations, to register under the Securities Act, the issuance or resale of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon redemption of Class A Units in accordance with the A&R OP Agreement.
On the Listing Date, the Company, the OP and the Advisor entered into the 2020 OPP pursuant to which a performance-based equity award was granted to the Advisor. Initially, the award under the 2020 OPP was in the form of a single Master LTIP Unit. On September 30, 2020, the Master LTIP Unit automatically converted into 4,012,841 LTIP Units in accordance with its terms. For additional information on the 2020 OPP, see Note 11 – Equity-Based Compensation.

Equity Plans
Restricted Share Plan
ThePrior to the Listing, the Company hashad an employee and director incentive restricted share plan (as amended, to date, the “RSP”). The RSP providesprovided for the automatic grant of the number of restricted shares equal to $30,000 divided by the then-current Estimated Per-Share NAV.
These automatic grants areNAV, which were made without any further approval by the Company’s board of directors or the stockholders, after initial election to the board of directors and after each annual stockholder meeting, with such restricted shares vesting annually over a five-year period following the grant date in increments of 20.0% per annum. The RSP providesalso provided the Company with the ability to grant awards of restricted shares to the Company’s board of directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees of the Advisor and its affiliates, employees of entities that provide services to the Company, directors of the Advisor or of entities that provide services to the Company, certain consultants to the Company and the Advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to the Company.
2020 Equity Plan
Effective at the Listing, the Company’s independent directors approved an equity plan for the Advisor (the “Advisor Plan”) and an equity plan for individuals (the “Individual Plan” and together with the Advisor Plan, the “2020 Equity Plan”). The total numberAdvisor Plan is substantially similar to the Individual Plan, except with respect to the eligible participants. Awards under the Individual Plan are open to the Company’s directors, officers and employees (if the Company ever has employees), employees, officers and directors of sharesthe Advisor and as a general matter, employees of affiliates of the Advisor that provide services to the Company.

While the RSP provided only for awards of restricted shares, the 2020 Equity Plan has been expanded to also permit awards of restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, LTIP Units and other equity awards. In addition, the 2020 Equity Plan eliminates the “automatic grant” provisions of the RSP that dictated the terms and amount of the annual award of restricted shares to independent directors. Going forward, grants to independent directors will be made in accordance with the Company’s new director compensation program, as described below under “—Director Compensation.” The 2020 Equity Plan has a term of 10 years, expiring August 18, 2030. The number of shares of the Company’s capital stock that may not exceed 5.0%be issued or subject to awards under the 2020 Equity Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to 20.0% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis at any timetime. Shares subject to awards under the Individual Plan reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Advisor Plan on a 1-for-one basis and vice versa.
Director Compensation
Effective on the Listing Date, the Company’s independent directors approved a change to the Company’s director compensation program. Starting with the annual award of restricted shares to be made in any eventconnection with the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, the amount of the annual award will not exceed 1.5 million shares (as such number may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events).increased from $30,000 to $65,000.

Restricted share awards entitle the recipient to receive shares of common stock from the Company under terms that provide for vesting over a specified period of time. Restricted share awards that have been granted to the Company’s directors provide for accelerated vesting of the portion of the unvested restricted shares scheduled to vest in the year of the recipient’s voluntary termination or the failure to be re-elected to the Company’s board of directors. There have not been any grants of restricted shares to other individuals as permitted under the 2020 Equity Plan.

Restricted shares may not, in general, be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed and the shares have vested. Holders of restricted shares receive cash distributionsdividends on the same basis as distributionsdividends paid on shares of common stock, if any, prior to the time that the restrictions on the restricted shares have lapsed and thereafter. Any distributionsdividends payable in shares of common stock are subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted shares.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company hadhad $0.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards granted under the RSP and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.02.9 years. RestrictedRestricted share awardsawards are expensed in accordance with the service period required. Compensation expense related to restricted share awards was approximately $22,494$23,192 and $20,992$22,494 for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted share awards is recorded as general and administrative expenseequity-based compensation in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Multi-Year Outperformance Award
On the Listing Date, the Company, the Company, the OP and the Advisor entered into the 2020 OPP pursuant to which a performance-based equity award was granted to the Advisor. The award was based on the recommendation of the Company’s compensation consultant, and approved by the Company’s independent directors, acting as a group.
Initially, the award under the 2020 OPP was in the form of a single Master LTIP Unit. On September 30, 2020, the 30th trading day following the Listing Date, in accordance with its terms, the Master LTIP Unit automatically converted into 4,012,841 LTIP Units, the quotient of $50.0 million divided by $12.46, representing the average closing price of one share of one share of Class A common stock over the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to September 30, 2020. This number of LTIP Units represents the maximum number of LTIP Units that may be earned by the Advisor during a performance period ending on the earliest of (i) August 18, 2023, (ii) the effective date of any Change of Control (as defined in the 2020 OPP) and (iii) the effective date of any termination of the Advisor’s service as advisor of the Company.
For accounting purposes, July 19, 2020 is treated as the grant date (the “Grant Date”), because the Company’s independent directors approved the 2020 OPP and the award made thereunder on that date. The Company engaged third party specialists, who used a Monte Carlo simulation, to calculate the fair value as of the date the Master LTIP Unit converted (September 30, 2020), on which date the fair value was also fixed. The total fair value of the LTIP Units of $25.8 million is being recorded over the requisite service period of 3.07 years beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Listing Date (August 18, 2023). As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded equity-based compensation expense related to the LTIP Units of $2.1 million, which is recorded in equity-based compensation in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $19.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the LTIP Units, which is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.38 years.

Half of the LTIP Units (the “Absolute TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the last day of the performance period if the Company achieves total stockholder return (“TSR”) measured on an absolute basis for the performance period as follows:
Performance LevelAbsolute TSRPercentage of LTIP Units Earned
Below ThresholdLess than12%%
Threshold12%25 %
Target18%50 %
Maximum24%or higher100 %

If the Company’s absolute TSR is more than 12% but less than 18%, or more than 18% but less than 24%, the percentage of the Absolute TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Half of the LTIP Units (the “Relative TSR LTIP Units”) are eligible to be earned as of the last day of the performance period if the amount, expressed in terms of basis points, whether positive or negative, by which the Company’s absolute TSR for the performance period exceeds the average TSR for the performance period of a peer group consisting of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc., Franklin Street Properties Corp., Paramount Group, Inc. and Clipper Realty Inc. as follows:
Performance LevelRelative TSR ExcessPercentage of LTIP Units Earned
Below ThresholdLess than-600basis points%
Threshold-600basis points25 %
Target0basis points50 %
Maximum+600basis points100 %

If the relative TSR excess is between -600 bps and 0 bps, or between 0 bps and +600 bps, the percentage of the Relative TSR LTIP Units earned is determined using linear interpolation as between those tiers, respectively.
Until an LTIP Unit is earned, the holder of the LTIP Unit is entitled to distributions on the LTIP Unit equal to 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit (other than distribution of sale proceeds). Distributions on Class A Units equal dividends paid on Class A common stock. Distributions paid with respect to an LTIP Unit are not subject to forfeiture, even if the LTIP Unit is ultimately forfeited because it is not earned in accordance with the 2020 OPP. In light of the automatic conversion feature of the Master LTIP Unit, the Advisor was entitled to receive a distribution equal to the product of 10% of the distributions made per Class A Unit during the period from the Listing Date (August 18, 2020) to September 30, 2020 (if any) multiplied by the number of LTIP Units issued when the Master LTIP Unit automatically converted into LTIP Units, however, no distributions were paid on Class A Units during this period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $40,000 of distributions related to the LTIP Units. After an LTIP Unit is earned, the holder will be entitled to a priority catch-up distribution per earned LTIP Unit equal to the aggregate distributions paid on a Class A Unit during the performance period, less the aggregate distributions paid on the LTIP Unit during the performance period. As of the last day of the performance period, the earned LTIP Units will become entitled to receive the same distributions as are paid on Class A Units. At the time the Advisor’s capital account with respect to an LTIP Unit that is earned and vested is economically equivalent to the average capital account balance of a Class A Unit, the Advisor, as the holder of the LTIP Unit in its sole discretion, will, in accordance with the A&R OP Agreement, be entitled to convert the LTIP Unit into a Class A Unit, which may, in turn, be redeemed on a 1-for-one basis for, at the Company’s election, a share of Class A common stock or the cash equivalent thereof.
If the last day of the performance period is the effective date of a Change of Control or a termination of the Advisor without Cause (as defined in the Advisory Agreement), then the number of LTIP Units earned will be calculated based on actual performance as of (and including) the effective date of the Change of Control or termination (as applicable), with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to reflect that the performance period lasted less than three years but without pro-rating the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn to reflect the shortened period.

If the last day of the performance period is the effective date of a termination of the Advisor with Cause, then the number of LTIP Units earned will also be calculated based on actual performance as of (and including) the effective date of the termination based on the performance through the last trading day prior to the effective date of the termination, with the hurdles for calculating absolute TSR pro-rated to the extent that the performance period lasted less than three years and with the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units or Relative TSR LTIP Units the Advisor would be eligible to earn also pro-rated to reflect the shortened period.
The award of LTIP Units under the 2020 OPP is administered by the compensation committee, provided that any of the compensation committee’s powers can be exercised instead by the Company’s board of directors if the board of directors so elects. Following the last day of the performance period, the compensation committee is responsible for determining the number of Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units earned, as calculated by an independent consultant engaged by the compensation committee and as approved by the compensation committee in its reasonable and good faith discretion. The valuation model used to calculate the fair value utilizes several significant assumptions, such as stock price volatility, dividend yield, and correlation estimate. The compensation committee also must approve the transfer of any Absolute TSR LTIP Units and Relative TSR LTIP Units (or Class A Units into which they may be converted in accordance with the terms of the A&R OP Agreement).
LTIP Units earned as of the last day of the performance period will also become vested as of the last day of the performance period. Any LTIP Units that are not earned and vested after the compensation committee makes the required determination will automatically and without notice be forfeited without the payment of any consideration by the Company or the OP, effective as of the last day of the performance period.
Other Share-Based Compensation
The Company may issue common stock in lieu of cash to pay fees earned by the Company’s board of directors at the respective director’s election. There are no restrictions on the shares issued. There were no0 shares of common stock issued in lieu of cash during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 or March 31, 2019.2020.

Diluted net loss per share assumes the vesting or conversion of restricted shares and Class A Units into an equivalent number of unrestricted shares of Class A common stock, unless the effect is antidilutive. Conditionally issuable shares relating to the 2020 OPP (see Note 11 — Equity-Based Compensation for additional information) would be included in the computation of fully diluted EPS on a weighted-average basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 based on shares that would be issued if the balance sheet date were the end of the measurement period. No LTIP Unit share equivalents were included in the computation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 because no LTIP Units would have been earned based on the trading price of Class A common stock including any cumulative dividends paid (since inception of the 2020 OPP) at March 31, 2021. There was also no impact from any of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020 due to the net losses in both periods.
The Company had the following weighted-average common share equivalents as of March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019,for the periods indicated, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to stockholders as the effect would have been anti-dilutive:anti-dilutive.

We were incorporated on December 19, 2013 as a Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. Substantially all of our business is conducted through the OP.
In March 2019, we changed our name from American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc. to New York City REIT, Inc.
We were formed to invest our assetsinvests primarily in office properties located inexclusively within the five boroughs of New York City, with a focus onprimarily Manhattan. We have also purchased certain real estate assets that accompany office properties, including retail spaces and amenities,

and may purchase hospitality assets, residential assets and other property types also located exclusively inwithin the five boroughs of New York City. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we owned eight properties consisting of 1,163,0611.2 million rentable square feet, acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $790.7 million.
On October 23, 2018,August 18, 2020, we listed shares of our Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NYC”. In anticipation of the listing, we implemented a series of corporate actions which resulted in a bifurcation of our common stock into Class A common stock and Class B common stock and in a net reduction of 2.43 shares for every one share of common stock outstanding prior to these corporate actions, which we refer to as the Reverse Stock Split. All references made to share or per share amounts as of dates prior to August 5, 2020 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on that date. To effect the listing, and to address the potential for selling pressure that may have existed at the outset of listing, we listed only shares of Class A common stock, which represented approximately 25% of our outstanding shares of common stock, on the NYSE when trading commenced. Our other class of outstanding stock is Class B common stock, which comprised approximately 75% of our outstanding shares of common stock at that time. The first of three equal tranches of shares of Class B common stock that were not listed on the NYSE on the listing date converted into 3,189,204 shares of Class A common stock and the shares were listed on the NYSE on December 16, 2020. Following a determination by our board of directors, approved the 2018 Estimated Per-Share NAV equalsecond tranche of shares of Class B common stock converted into 3,176,127 shares of Class A common stock and were listed on the NYSE on March 1, 2021. The remaining tranche of shares of Class B common stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock to $20.26 basedbe listed on an estimated fair valuethe NYSE on August 13, 2021, unless earlier converted.

Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic has created several risks and uncertainties that have affected and may continue to impact our business, including our financial condition, future results of operations and our liquidity. A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19 affecting states or regions in which we or our tenants operate could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The ultimate impact on our results of operations, our liquidity and the ability of our tenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable to predict the nature and scope of any of these factors. These factors include the following, among others:
The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all. However, we have taken proactive steps with regard to rent collections to mitigate the impact on our business (see “—Management Actions” below).
There may be a decline in the demand for tenants to lease real estate, as well as a negative impact on rental rates. As of March 31, 2020, our portfolio had a high occupancy level of 89.0%, the weighted-average remaining term of our leases was 6.8 years (based on annualized straight-line rent).
New York City, where all of our properties are located, has been among the hardest hitmost affected locations in the country and continues to operatecountry. Until it began its phased reopening in June 2020, which is still underway as of March 31, 2021, New York City operated under a mandatory order under which tenants were required to closecease all non-essential operations.in-office functions. Our properties remain accessible to all tenants, while each tenant operates under the appropriatealthough, even as operating restrictions.restrictions expire, not all tenants have resumed operations. In addition, as operating restrictions expire,New York’s phased opening continues, and occupants continue to return to our properties, operating costs may begin to rise, including for services, labor, and personal protective equipment and other supplies, as our property managers take appropriate actions to protect tenants and property management personnel. Some of these costs may be recoverable through reimbursement from tenants.tenants but others will be borne by us. We have experienced an increase in non-reimburseable property operating expenses and general and administrative expenses for legal fees associated with litigation against tenants that have not paid amounts contractually due under their leases and tenant lease amendment negotiations. However, despite the current restrictions and continued reopening, we expect that continued vaccination efforts will result in a “return to normalcy” after the summer holidays and will support an increase in office usage and leasing trends by the end of 2021 and through 2022.
Capital market volatilityThe negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we reduced revenue from tenants by $8.5 million for reserves recorded during the period on receivables for which the related tenants have been put on a tighteningcash basis or there were early lease terminations. In the first quarter of credit standards could negatively2021, there has been no rental income received from any of the tenants that were previously placed on a cash basis. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we experienced one large termination due to the termination of leases within two of our buildings, 123 William Street and 9 Times Square, with our former tenant, Knotel, after declaring bankruptcy in January 2021, and an expiration without a renewal. We had previously written off any contract and straight line rent receivables net of any security deposits associated with this tenant as of December 31, 2020 as they were deemed to be uncollectible. However, we also signed four new leases during the period, including replacement leases for approximately half of the vacant space left by Knotel. Although management is currently working on securing additional new leases, there can be no assurance we will be able to lease all or any portion of our currently vacant space at any property on acceptable or favorable terms, or at all. The impact of COVID-19 on our abilitytenants led to obtain debt financing. We do not have any significant debt principal repayments due until 2024.

The negative impact of the pandemic on our results of operations and cash flows could continue to impact our ability to comply with covenants in our loans.loans as we are in violation of covenants on three of our mortgage loans aggregating $204.0 million in principal amount and may also experience additional covenant violations on our mortgages at other properties.
The potential negativeultimate impact on our results of operations, our liquidity and the health of personnelability of our Advisor, particularly if a significant numbertenants to continue to pay us rent will depend on numerous factors including the overall length and severity of the Advisor’s employees are impacted, could result inCOVID-19 pandemic. For a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity.
For additional information onfurther discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, pleaseon us, see Item 1A. “RiskRisk Factors — We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets and has already had adverse effects and may worsen” included in this Quarterlyour Annual Report on Form 10-Q10-K for the quarteryear ended MarchDecember 31, 2020.
The Advisor has responded to the challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in early March, the Advisor took proactive steps to prepare for and actively mitigate the inevitable disruption COVID-19 would cause, such as, enacting safety measures, both required or recommended by relevant government authorities, including remote working policies, cooperation with localized closure or curfew directives, and social distancing measures at all of our properties. Additionally, there has been no material adverse impact on our financial reporting systems or internal controls and procedures and the Advisor’s ability to perform services for us. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are supplementing the historical discussion of our results of operations for the first quarter of 2020 with a current update on the measures we have taken to mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on our business and future results of operations.
Management’s Actions

We have taken several steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business. For rent collections, weWe have been in direct contact with our tenants since the crisis began, cultivatingcontinuing to cultivate open dialogue and deepeningdeepen the fundamental relationships that we have carefully developed through prior transactions and historic operations. We have taken a proactive approach to achieve mutually agreeable solutions with our tenants and in some cases, in 2020 and 2021, we executed different types of lease amendments, including rent deferrals and abatements and, in some cases, extensions to the term of the leases. Based on this approach and the overall financial strength and creditworthiness of our tenants, we believe that we have had positive results in our cash rent collections during this pandemic.
Our portfolio is primarily comprised of office retail, bank, and restaurant industryretail tenants with 73%76%, and 15%23% of Aprilfirst quarter 2021 original cash rent due from office and retail tenants, respectively. We have collected 77%92% of April’sfirst quarter 2021 original cash rent due from our office tenants, 39%63% of April’soriginal cash rent due from our retail tenants and 73%85% of April’soriginal cash rent due across our entire portfolio, including 76%89% of April’soriginal cash rent due from our top 20ten tenants (based on annualized straight-line rent as of March 31, 2021). The original cash rent received across our entire portfolio was consistent with the fourth quarter of 2020 in which we reported total portfolio original cash rent collections of 82% due for the fourth quarter 2020 as of March 1, 2021, which is unchanged as of April 30, 2021.
“Original cash rent” refers to contractual rents on a cash basis due from tenants as stipulated in their originally executed lease agreement at inception or as amended, prior to any rent deferral agreement. We calculate “original cash rent collections” by comparing the total amount of April’srent collected during the period to the original cash rent due. Total rent collected during the period includes both original cash rent due fromand payments made by tenants pursuant to rent deferral agreements. Eliminating the impact of deferred rent paid, we collected 85% of original cash rent collections for the first quarter of 2021. The deferral amounts received in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 were less than 1% of total rent collected in those quarters.

A deferral agreement is an executed or approved amendment to an existing lease to defer a certain portion of cash rent due to a future period. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we granted rent deferrals for an aggregate of $1.5 million or approximately 7% of original cash rent due for the year. Those deferral amounts are or were scheduled for repayment during 2020 or 2021.
The cash rent collections for the first quarter of 2021 uses cash receipts as of April 30, 2021 and therefore is inclusive of cash received in April for rent due in the first quarter of 2021. Such cash receipts are not included in cash and cash equivalents on our top 20 tenants). March 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet.
The table below presents additional information on our Aprilfirst quarter cash rent collection status, which includes cash rent due from tenants that were put on a cash basis in 2020, and is based on available information as of April 30, 2021.

We calculate “original cash rent collections” by comparing the total amount of rent collected during the period to the original cash rent due. Eliminating the impact of deferred rent paid, we collected 85% of original Cash Rent due.
(2) Includes deferral agreements as well as amendments granting the tenant a rent credit for some portion of cash rent due. The rent credit is generally coupled with an extension of the lease. The terms of the lease amendments providing for rent credits differ by tenant in terms of length and amount of the credit. A deferral agreement is an executed or approved amendment to an existing lease to defer a certain portion of cash rent due. The most common arrangements during the first quarter of 2021 represent deferral of some or all of the rent due for the first quarter of 2021 with such amounts to be paid later in 2021. As of April 30, 2021, we granted rent credits with respect to 2.3% of first quarter cash rent due.
(3) Represents active tenant discussions where no approved agreement has yet been reached. There can be no assurance that these negotiations will be successful and will lead to formal agreements on favorable terms, or at all. These amounts are substantially comprised of tenants that were placed on a cash basis during the fourth quarter, which represented 6% of fourth quarter original cash rent due, after concluding that it was no longer probable that substantially all amounts due would be collected. We have fully reserved for amounts due from these tenants as a reduction in revenue as of December 31, 2020.
(4) Consists of tenants who have made a partial payment and/or tenants without active communication on a potential approved agreement. There can be no assurance that such cash rent will be collected. Includes approximately 0.3% of first quarter cash rent due from a tenant that was placed on cash basis during the fourth quarter of 2020 for which we have fully reserved as a reduction in revenue as of December 31, 2020.
Our cash rent collections may not be indicative of any future period and remains subject to changes based ongoing collection efforts and negotiation of additional agreements. Moreover, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect the cash rent that is due in future months including the deferred 2020 rent amounts due during 2021 under deferral agreements we have entered into with our tenants. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and thus our ability to collect rents in future periods cannot be determined at present:present.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 20202021 and 20192020
As of March 31, 2020,2021, we owned eight properties, comprisingall of seven propertieswhich were acquired prior to January 1, 2019 and one property acquired in July 2019 (“196 Orchard Street”).2020. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 20192020 primarily reflect changes due to leasing activity and the impact of our acquisition of 196 Orchard Street.

Revenue from Tenants
Revenue from tenants increased $0.4 decreased $2.3 million to $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2020. Approximately $1.0 million of the decrease is attributable to the termination of several leases with our former tenant, Knotel, with the remainder due to the tenants that were placed on cash basis during 2020. We did not collect any cash rent during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $17.1tenants previously placed on a cash basis.
Asset and Property Management Fees to Related Parties
Fees for asset and property management services paid to our Advisor and Property Manager decreased $0.1 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase is primarily due to $1.7 million related to the acquisition of 196 Orchard Street in July 2019 offset by a decrease of $1.3 million due to expiration of leases on 1140 Avenue of the Americas and 123 William Street properties.
Asset and Property Management Fees to Related Parties
Fees for asset and property management services2021 from our Advisor and Property Manager increased $0.5 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $1.5 million for2020. This is primarily due to a reduction in property management fees which are calculated based on cash receipts, which decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This is primarily related to the impact of property management fees due to the Property Manager that are no longer adjusted for reimbursable expenses paid by us to third-party property managers effective on April 1, 2019. 2021 as described below.

Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased $0.7 million to $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This is due to increased legal fees associated with tenant lease amendment negotiations that are non-reimbursable to us, as well as an increase in other non-reimbursable expenses, such as real estate taxes which certain tenants that stopped paying rent under their leases in 2020 from $7.3are not paying.
Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-based compensation increased to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2021 from $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily dueis related to the acquisitionamortization of 196 Orchard Streetour multi-year outperformance award granted to the Advisor in July 2019August 2020 (the “2020 OPP”), for which $2.1 million of expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Approximately $23,000 of expense was also recorded for the amortization of restricted shares of common stock.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses essentially remained flat at increased to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $2.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2020. This was due to an increase of $0.3 million in compensation expense paid to the Advisor, mainly related to salaries, an increase of $0.2 million for legal fees associated with litigation with tenants that have not paid rent, and the remainder of the increase is related to insurance premiums and audit fees. See Note 9 — Related Party Transactions and Arrangementsto our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details. For additional information on amounts recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets related to potential equity offerings, see Note 7 — Stockholders’ Equityto our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Total reimbursement expenses for administrative and personnel services provided by the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1.2 million, of which $0.3 million related to administrative and overhead expenses and $0.9 million related to salaries, wages, and benefits. Pursuant to our advisory agreement, reimbursement for administrative and overhead expenses and reimbursements for salaries, wages, and benefits are subject to annual limits, which were not reached as of March 31, 2021. Total reimbursement expenses for administrative and personnel services provided by the Advisor during the three months ended March 31, 2020 when comparedwere $1.0 million, of which $0.3 million related to administrative and overhead expenses and $0.7 million related to salaries, wages, and benefits.

The increase was primarily due to a $55.0 million loan entered into in April 2019 secured by our previously unencumbered 9 Times Square property and a $51.0 million loan entered into in July 2019 in connection with the acquisition of our 196 Orchard Street property which was offset by lower interest rates during the period ended March 31, 2020. (see Note 4 - Mortgage Notes Payable, Net to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information). During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our weighted averageweighted-average outstanding debt balance was $405.0 million and had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 4.35%. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the weighted average outstanding balance of our debt was $299.0 million and had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 4.54%.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The level of cash flows used in or provided by operating activities is affected by the volume of acquisition activity, the restricted cash we are required to maintain, the timing of interest payments, the receipt of scheduled rent payments and the level of property operating expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.4$2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $6.8$13.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items of $7.6$10.8 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, accretion/amortization of below market and above market lease liabilities and assets and share-based compensation.

These decreases were partially offset by increases related to accounts payable and accrued expenses associated with operating activities of $1.1 million an increase in deferred revenue (prepaid rent) of $0.8 million, and an increase in straight-line receivable of $0.6 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of a net loss of $6.8 million, adjusted for noncash items of $7.6 million, including depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible real estate assets, amortization of deferred financing costs, accretion/amortization of below market and above market lease liabilities and assets and equity-based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for cash are to fund operating and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvement and leasing commission costs related to our properties, our debt service obligations and, subject to capital availability, acquisitions and share repurchases.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $29.4 million as compared to $31.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Under the guarantee of certain enumerated recourse liabilities of the borrower under one of our mortgage loans, we are required to maintain a minimum net worth in excess of $175.0 million and minimum liquid assets (i.e. cash and cash equivalents) of $10.0 million.
Our principal sources of cash in recent periods have been the net cash, if any, provided by our current property operations and cash on hand consisting primarily of proceeds from financings of then-unencumbered assets. In some recent periods, including the fourth quarter and full year 2020, the net cash provided by our property operations has not alone been sufficient to fund operating expenses and other capital requirements. The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause certain of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, which has had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect on the amount of cash we receive from our operations. We have taken proactive steps with regardoperations and therefore our ability to rent collectionsfund operating expenses and other capital requirements, which, beginning in October 2020, include dividends to mitigateour common stockholders.

rent will depend on numerous factors including2021, the overall length and severityoperating results at 1140 Avenue of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management is unable to predict the natureAmericas, 9 Times Square and scope of any of these factors. Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and ability to service our debt obligations and to consummate future property acquisitions would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us. In addition to the discussion below, please see the “Overview — Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for additional information on the risks and uncertainties associated with400 E. 67th Street - Laurel Condominium/200 Riverside Boulevard Garage properties were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic causing cash trap events under the non-recourse mortgages for those properties to be triggered. Specifically for these properties, there were early lease terminations, expirations without renewal and management’s actions takena tenant bankruptcy for a significant tenant in response.
the 9 Times Square property (Knotel). As a result, at these properties, which together represent 46% of the rentable square feet in our portfolio as of March 31, 2020,2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $53.2 million as compared to $51.2 million as of December 31, 2019. Effective as of March 1, 2018, we suspended the distributions we pay to holders of our common stock. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate our performance and assess our distribution policy, however there can be no assurance as to when, or if, we willnot be able to resume paying distributions oruse excess cash flow from the levelproperties to fund operating expenses at whichour other properties and other capital requirements until the breaches have been cured.
Although we may pay them. Our ability to pay distributionshad positive cash flow from operating activities in the future will depend onfirst quarter of 2021, due to rent deferrals, vacancies and the amountother impacts of cash we are able to generate from our operations. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, such as capital availability, rental income from acquired properties and our operating expense levels,COVID-19, as well as manythe terms of our leases, we anticipate we may continue to fund a portion of our operating expenses and other variables, includingcapital requirements with cash on hand through at least the first half of 2021. We do not have any negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic discussed above. There is no assurancesignificant debt principal repayments due until 2024, and we believe that rents from the properties we own or rent from future acquisitions of properties will increase ourhave sufficient cash available for distributions to the level necessary for us to resume paying distributions tomeet our stockholders.
Our principal demands foroperating cash are to fund operating and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvement and leasing commission costs related to our properties, our debt service obligations and, subject to capital availability, acquisitions. Distributions to our stockholders and repurchases underrequirements over the SRP are currently suspended, therefore these are not currently a principal demand on our cash flow. The SRP has been suspended since September 25, 2018 and the suspension will remain in effect unless our board of directors authorizes us to resume paying regular cash distributions to our stockholders. For additional information on the SRP, see Note 7 — Common Stock to our unaudited consolidated financial statements found in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect to fund our future capital needs, including for acquisitions or share repurchases, if any, and operationsauthorized, through a combination of net cash, if any, provided by our current property operations, or the operations of properties that we may be acquiredacquire in the future, proceeds from property dispositions (if any) and proceeds from financings, and we believe that we will have sufficient cash flow to meet our operating needs over the next year. As mentioned above, additional sources of capital may also include proceeds from secured and unsecured financing from banksCommon Stock ATM Program (as defined below) or other lenders. To the extent we are required to obtain additional financing we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all (please see the “Overview — Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section above for additional information on the risksfuture equity offerings and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and management’s actions taken in response). However, we do not have any significant debt principal repayments due until 2024.financings.
Mortgage Loans
We have used mortgage financing to acquire properties and have also incurredsix mortgage loans on previously unencumberedsecured by seven of our eight properties resulting in a total of six mortgage loans with an aggregate balance of $405.0 million as of March 31, 2020. Based on debt outstanding as2021 with a weighted-average effective interest rate of March 31, 2020, we do not have future anticipated principal payments due on our mortgage notes payable for the remainder of 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2021.4.35%.

Our only asset that is not serving as collateral for a mortgage is 421 W. 54th Street - Hit Factory, which is unoccupied and therefore unlikely to be accepted as collateral for a new mortgage loan. See “-Acquisitions and Dispositions” section below for further detail on this property. We do not currently anticipate incurring additional indebtedness secured by our existing properties, however, despite a tightening of the credit markets, we expect to be able to continue to use debt financing as a source of capital to the extent we acquire additional properties.

We do not have principal payments due on our mortgage notes payable for the year ending December 31, 2021.
We have been in breach of a debt service coverage provision and a reserve fund reserve provision under the non-recourse mortgage loan with $99.0 million principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2021 secured by the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property for the last three quarters. These breaches are not events of default, rather they require excess cash (after payment of operating costs, debt service and capital/tenant replacement reserves) to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenants for this loan may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage for the property is maintained, whereupon the additional collateral will be released. As of March 31, 2021 we have $4.1 million cash trapped and maintained in restricted cash associated with these events, all of which relate to the non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the 1140 Avenue of the Americas property. Currently, we have not cured the breaches through these or any other means. We do not expect similar amounts to be trapped in future periods in the short-term as we expect there will be little to no excess cash flow at the three properties after paying property expenses, interest and capital expenditures. This restricted cash is not available to be used for other corporate purposes. We can remain subject to this reserve requirement through maturity of the loan without causing an event of default under loan that could give rise to the lenders’ right to accelerate the principal amount due under the loan or further penalty or ramifications.
We have also been in breach of debt service coverage and debt yield covenants under the non-recourse mortgage loan with $55.0 million principal amount outstanding as of March 31, 2021 secured by the 9 Times Square property for the last two quarters. These breaches were caused by the January 2021 bankruptcy of one of our tenants, Knotel, a co-working company that was previously the second largest tenant in our portfolio based on annualized straight-line rent as of September 30, 2020. These breaches are not events of default, but rather require us to enter into acash management period whereby all rents and other revenue of the property are to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenants may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage and debt yield for the property is maintained. We may remain in breach of the covenants for up to four consecutive quarters, after which an event of default could occur that could give the lenders the right to accelerate the principal amount due under the loan and other remedies.
We also breached a debt service coverage covenant under our non-recourse mortgage secured by 400 E. 67th Street - Laurel Condominium/200 Riverside Boulevard - Icon Garage in the first quarter of 2021. This breach is not an event of default but rather requires us to enter into a cash management period whereby all rents and other revenue of the property are to be held in a segregated account as additional collateral under the loan. The covenant may be cured after achieving two consecutive quarters when the required debt service coverage for the property is maintained. We can remain subject to this reserve requirement through maturity of the loan without further penalty or ramifications.
We are currently in compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant under the non-recourse mortgage secured by 8713 Fifth Avenue. However, in the event of a breach of this covenant, such breach would not result in an event of default but rather would trigger an excess cash flow sweep period. If this were to occur, we have the ability to avoid such an excess cash flow sweep period by electing to fund a reserve in the amount of $125,000 of additional collateral in cash or as a letter of credit. We have the ability to continue to avoid the excess cash flow sweep period by funding an additional $125,000 each quarter until the debt service coverage ratio covenant breach is cured in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, whereupon, provided no other excess cash flow sweep trigger exists at such time, the full amount of the reserve will be returned to us. If we do not elect to continue to fund the $125,000 additional collateral in a subsequent quarter, then the excess flow sweep period would commence in such quarter and continue until the debt service coverage ratio covenant breach is cured in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
While we have entered into short-term leases with two of Knotel’s former tenants at 123 William Street that collectively represent over 23,400 square feet and we are working to find new tenants to replace Knotel and to increase the rental income at our 1140 Avenue of the Americas and 9 Times Square properties through leasing activity, there can be no assurance we will be able to lease all or any portion of our currently vacant space at any property on acceptable or favorable terms, or at all. Unless we are able to enter into new leases at both the properties on terms that allow us to cure the breach, we will be unable to access excess cash flow from either property. If we experience additional lease terminations, due to tenant bankruptcies or otherwise, it is possible that certain of the covenants on other loans may be breached and we may also become restricted from accessing excess cash flows from those properties. We were in compliance with the remaining covenants under our mortgage notes payable as of March 31, 2021.
Common Stock ATM Program
On October 1, 2020, we entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, offer, issue and sell to the public, through our sales agents, shares of Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million in an “at the market” equity offering program (the “Common Stock ATM Program”). We have not yet sold any shares of Class A common stock through the Common Stock ATM Program.
Repurchase Program
Our board of directors adopted a resolution authorizing consideration of share repurchases of up to $100.0 million of shares of Class A common stock over a long-term period following the listing of our Class A common stock on the NYSE. Actual repurchases would be reviewed and approved by our board of directors based on management recommendations taking into

consideration all information available at the specific time including our available cash resources (including the ability to borrow), market capitalization, trading price and alternative uses such as acquisitions. Repurchases would typically be made on the open market in accordance with SEC rules creating a safe harbor for issuer repurchases but may also occur in privately negotiated transactions. As of March 31, 2021, no shares had been repurchased by the Company under this program. As of March 31, 2021, we also had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $29.4 million. We are also subject to a covenant under one of our mortgage loans requiring us to maintain minimum liquid assets (i.e. cash and cash equivalents) of $10.0 million.
Tender Offer
On December 28, 2020, in response to an unsolicited offer to our stockholders, we commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 65,000 shares of Class B common stock for cash at a purchase price equal to $7.00 per share. The offer expired on January 27, 2021, and we purchased 26,236 shares of Class B common stock for a total cost of approximately $0.2 million, including fees and expenses relating to the tender offer, with cash on hand in February 2021. These shares were subsequently cancelled after being purchased.
Leasing Activity/Occupancy
We had an occupancy level of 82.8% across our portfolio as of March 31, 2021, as compared to 87.0% as of December 31, 2020. The significant occupancy changes were as follows:
Occupancy at 9 Times Square declined to 57.7% as of March 31, 2021, compared to 78.7% as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to the termination of our leases with Knotel, which represented over 32,000 occupied square feet at this property as of December 31, 2020, with no new leases signed during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Occupancy at 123 William Street declined to 87.0% as of March 31, 2021, compared to 90.3% as of December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to the termination of our leases with Knotel, which represented over 36,000 occupied square feet at this property as of December 31, 2020, and the expiration of another lease, which was partially offset by the commencement of three new leases (two of them replacing part of the space formerly occupied by Knotel), causing a net decrease of approximately 18,000 occupied square feet compared to December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, occupancy included the leased space occupied by one of our former tenants, Knotel (6.2%), which was a tenant at both our 9 Times Square and 123 William Street properties. In January 2021, Knotel filed for bankruptcy and all leases were terminated effective January 31, 2021. If Knotel was not included in the occupancy calculation as of December 31, 2020, occupancy across our portfolio would have been 80.8%. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we put certain tenants on a cash basis and fully reserved certain receivables and reflected this as a reduction in revenue from tenants during the period. For additional information on our accounting policy related to revenue recognition, see Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Polices to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also, for a discussion of overall impact on our result of operations for this and other reserves and write-offs for tenant receivables recorded in 2021 and for additional information on leasing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2021, see Results of Operations section.
We continue to focus on increasing occupancy of the portfolio by seeking replacement tenants for leases that had expired or otherwise have been terminated. We believe that certain market tenant incentives we have used and expect to continue to use, including free rent periods and tenant improvements, will support our occupancy rate and extend the average duration of our leases upon commencement of executed leases. While we do not receive cash during initial free rent periods, which has impacted and may continue to impact the net cash provided by our property operations in recent periods adversely, we believe this helps position us to negotiate longer, more attractive lease terms by having the flexibility to include such a feature.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We had no acquisitions or dispositions during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
We also continue to evaluate our strategic alternatives for our 421 W. 54th Street - Hit Factory property, where the sole tenant terminated its lease early and vacated the space during the second quarter of 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to dispose of this property for a contract price of $7.1 million. Subsequent to March 31,During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the buyer terminated the transaction and we retained the security deposit of $0.7 million. There can be no assurance we will be able to find a replacement buyer or a new tenant or as to how much, if any, liquidity we will be able to generate from this property.
We planned to increase our indebtedness over time such Moreover, because the property is unoccupied, it does not generate any revenues that aggregate borrowings are closer to 40% to 50% of the aggregate fair market value of our assets, or approximately $363.1 and $453.9 million, respectively, based on the fair market value of our real estate assets established in connection with the approval by our independent board of directors of our Estimated Per-Share NAV as of June 30, 2019 (published on October 25, 2019). As of March 31, 2020, our gross aggregate borrowings were $405.0 million with a weighted-average effective interest rate of 4.35%.
We do not currently anticipate incurring additional indebtedness secured by our existing properties. At the date of acquisition of any asset, we anticipate thatoffset the cost of investment forowning and maintaining the 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 our target leverage levels.
Leasing Activity
We had an occupancy level of 89.0% across our portfolio as of March 31, 2020, as compared to 89.6% as of December 31, 2019. Specifically, the occupancy level at 9 Times Square declined from 90.1% as of December 31, 2019 to 85.8% as of March 31,

2020, due to the expiration of a certain lease during the three months ended March 31, 2020. See —Results of Operations for additional information on leasing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
We continue to focus on increasing occupancy of the portfolio by seeking replacement tenants for leases that had expired or otherwise have been terminated. In furtherance of this goal, we are currently negotiating non-binding letters of intent (“LOIs”) with certain potential tenants at our 9 Times Square and 1140 Avenue of the Americas properties. There can be no assurance these LOIs or negotiations will result in executed leases or that these executed leases will result in increased occupancy across our portfolio or at any particular property. We believe that certain market tenant incentives we have used and expect to continue to use, including free rent periods and tenant improvements, will drive occupancy rates higher and have extended the average duration of our leases upon commencement of executed leases. While we do not receive cash during initial free rent periods, we believe this helps position us to negotiate longer, more attractive lease terms by having the flexibility to include such a feature.
Capital Expenditures
For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, we funded $1.0 million$43,000 of capital expenditures primarily related to tenant and building improvements at 123 William Street 9 Times Square, and 1140 Avenue of the Americas. The capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 of $0.7$1.0 million were primarily related to tenant improvements at 9 Times Square and 123 William Street. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we funded $7.7 millionWe

We funded our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from cash on hand consisting of proceeds from financings and sales of real estate investments in prior periods, and expect to fund any future capital expenditures with available cash on hand and potential future financings. The recent economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted and could continue to impact our decisions on the amount and timing of future capital expenditures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section discusses the non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our performance, including Funds from Operations (“FFO”), ModifiedCore Funds from Operations (“MFFO”Core FFO”) and Cash Net Operating Income (“Cash NOI”). A description of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is net income (loss), is provided below.
Funds from Operations and ModifiedCore Funds from Operations
The historical accounting convention used forFunds from Operations
Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings, improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.
Because of these factors,companies, as discussed below, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has publishedpromulgated a standardizedperformance measure of performance known as FFO, which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. Wewe believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, isto be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT’s operating performance.REIT. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We definecalculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper and approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the salesales of certain real estate assets, gainsgain and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for consolidated partially-owned entities (including our OP) and equity in earnings of unconsolidated partnerships and joint venturesaffiliates are calculatedmade to reflect FFO.arrive at our proportionate share of FFO attributable to our stockholders. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, we believe that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization, among other things, provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.
ChangesCore Funds from Operations
Beginning in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAPthird quarter 2020, following the listing of our Class A common stock on the NYSE, we began presenting Core FFO as a non-GAAP metric. We have presented prior periods on a comparable basis so that were put into effect in 2009 subsequentthe metric is useful to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.
Because of these factors, the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that, when compared year over year, both before and after we have deployed allusers of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amountfinancial statements. Our presentation of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, whichCore FFO may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFOcomparable to Core FFO reported by other REITs that define Core FFO differently. In calculating Core FFO, we start with FFO, then we exclude the impact of discrete non-operating transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted forcore business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating items include acquisition and transaction related feescosts for dead deals, debt extinguishment costs, listing related costs and expenses (including the vesting and other items. In calculating MFFO, we followconversion of partnership units in the Practice GuidelineOP designated as “Class B Units” and exclude acquisitioncash expenses and transaction-related fees which are non-recurring in nature incurred in connection with the listing of our Class A common stock on the NYSE and expenses, amounts relating torelated transactions), and non-cash equity-based compensation. We add back non-cash write-offs of deferred rent receivablesfinancing costs and amortizationprepayment penalties incurred with the early extinguishment of above- and below-market leases and liabilities (whichdebt which are adjusted in order to reflect the payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income gains or losses includedbut are considered financing cash flows when paid in net income from the extinguishment or salestatement of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of the holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting,cash flows. We consider these write-offs and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with the adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.
We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continueprepayment penalties to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring propertiescapital transactions and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.
Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needsoperations. By excluding expensed acquisition and should not be consideredtransaction dead deal costs as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operationswell as determined under GAAP as an indicationnon-operating costs, we believe Core FFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our performance, as an alternative to cash flowsproperties. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from operations, as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.Core FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.
None of the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade groupbelieve may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guideline or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry and we would have to adjusthelp investors compare our calculation and characterizationresults.

Accounting Treatment of Rent Deferrals
We currently anticipate that theThe majority of the concessions granted to itsour tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will beare rent deferrals or temporary rent abatements with the original lease term unchanged and collection of deferred rent deemed probable (see the “Overview - Management Update on the Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic” section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional information on April rent deferrals)information). As a result of relief granted by the FASB and the SEC related to lease modification accounting, we do not expect rental revenue used to calculate Net Income, and NAREIT FFO and Core FFO have not been, and we do not expect it to be, significantly impacted by deferrals. In addition, since we currently believe that these amounts are collectible, we would not plan to adjust from MFFO the amounts recognized under GAAP relating to renttypes of deferrals. For a detailed discussion of our revenue recognition policy, including details related to the relief granted by the FASB and SEC, see Note 2 - Significant Accounting Polices to our consolidated financial statements included in thethis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Net Operating Income
Cash NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, less income from investment securities and interest, plus general and administrative expenses, acquisition and transaction-related expenses, depreciation and amortization, other non-cash expenses and interest expense. In calculating Cash NOI, we also eliminate the effects of straight-lining of rent and the amortization of above- and below-market leases. Cash NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity.
We use Cash NOI internally as a performance measure and believe Cash NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe Cash NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets and to make decisions about resource allocations. Further, we believe Cash NOI is useful to investors as performance measures because, when compared across periods, Cash NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition activity on an unlevered basis. Cash NOI excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property’s results of operations. For example, interest expense is not linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and Cash NOI is not affected by whether the financing is at the property level or corporate level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort operating performance at the property level. Cash NOI presented by us may not be comparable to Cash NOI reported by other REITs that define Cash NOI differently. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, Cash NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

DistributionsDividends
We are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. In May 2014, our board of directors authorized, and we began paying, a monthly distribution equivalent to $1.5125 per annum, per share of common stock payable by the 5th day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. On February 27, 2018, our board of directors unanimously authorized a suspension of the distributions we pay to holders of our common stock, effective as of March 1, 2018. A tax loss for a particular year eliminates the need to distribute REIT taxable income to meet the 90% distribution requirement for that year and may minimize or eliminate the need to pay distributions in order to meet the distribution requirement in one or more subsequent years. We had a loss for tax purposes in 20192020 and therefore there was no REIT taxable income requiring distribution to maintain our qualification as a REIT in 2019.2020.
We did notOn October 1, 2020, we declared a dividend equal to $0.04889 per share on each share of common stock, which was paid on October 15, 2020. The dividend covered the period from August 18, 2020, the date on which shares of Class A common stock commenced trading on the NYSE, through September 30, 2020, based on the previously-announced cash dividend rate equal to $0.40 per share per year. In January and April of 2021 we also declared and paid a dividend equal to $0.10 per share on each share of common stock.
Decisions regarding the frequency and amount of any future dividends we pay distributions duringon our common stock will remain at all times entirely at the year ended December 31, 2019 or the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Ourdiscretion of our board of directors, will continuewhich reserves the right to evaluatechange our performancedividend policy at any time and assessfor any reason. Our ability to pay dividends in the future depends on our distribution policy; however, there can be no assurance asability to when, or if,operate profitably and to generate sufficient cash flows from the operations of our existing properties and any properties we may acquire. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to resume paying distributionspay dividends on a regular basis on our common stock or the level at whichany other class or series of stock we may issue in the future. Our board of directors previously suspended and then reinstituted dividends. There is no assurance we will continue to pay them. Ourdividends at the current rate, or at all. The amount of dividends payable to our stockholders is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for dividends, our financial condition, provisions in our loans and any agreement we are party to that may restrict our ability to pay distributions in the future will depend on the amountdividends or repurchase shares, capital expenditure requirements, as applicable, requirements of cash we are ableMaryland law and annual distribution requirements needed to generate frommaintain our operations. The amount of cash available for distributions is affected by many factors, suchstatus as capital availability, rental income for acquired properties and our operating expense levels.a REIT.

Table of directors adopted the SRP to provide stockholders with interim liquidity by enabling them, subject to significant conditions and limitations, to sell their shares back to us after having held them for at least one year, the SRP has been suspended, and there can be no assurance as to when or if it will be reactivated, and on what terms. Under the SRP, which first became effective as of December 31, 2015, shares were repurchased on a semi-annual basis.Contents

Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes in our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2020,2021, as compared to those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Election as a REIT 
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), effective for our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and have operated in a manner so that we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code. We intend to continue to operate in such a manner but can provide no assurances that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must comply with a number of other organizational and operational requirements. If we continue to qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on thatthe portion of our REIT taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and properties as well as U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. A tax loss for a particular year eliminates the need to distribute REIT taxable income to meet the 90% distribution requirement for that year and may minimize or eliminate the need to pay distributions in order to meet the distribution requirement in one or more subsequent years. We had a loss for tax purposes in 20192020 and therefore there was no REIT taxable income requiring distribution to maintain our qualification as a REIT.REIT in 2020.
Inflation
Many of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. These provisions generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases either at fixed rates or indexed escalations (based on the Consumer Price Index or other measures). We may be adversely impacted by inflation on the leases that do not contain indexed escalation provisions. In addition, our net leases require the tenant to pay its allocable share of operating expenses, which may include common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance. This may reduce our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of such period, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
No change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020 and we direct your attention to those risk factors.
We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused severe disruptions in the New York City, U.S. and global economy and financial markets and has already had adverse effects and may worsen.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and another pandemic in the future could have, repercussions across many sectors and areas of the global economy and financial markets, leading to significant adverse impacts on economic activity as well as significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been rapidly evolving. In New York City, where our tenants operate their businesses and where our properties are located, preventative measures have been taken to alleviate the public health crisis, including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders issued by local and state authorities that have resulted in many “non-essential” businesses being required to close. A number of our tenants operate businesses that require in-person interactions. Even if not prevented by “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders, concern regarding the transmission of COVID-19 has impacted, and will likely continue to impact, the willingness of persons to engage in in-person commerce which will likely further impact the revenues generated by our tenants which may further impact the ability of our tenants to pay their rent obligations to us when due. Furthermore, certain categories of tenants, such as retail and certain types of office tenants, such as those that utilize share spaces and co-working, are particularly hard hit by COVID-19 and the resulting economic disruption. Our office tenants may also make adaptions in response to these orders and future limitations on in-person work environments could lead to a sustained shift away from in-person work environments and have an adverse effect on the overall demand for office space across our portfolio. This could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at rental rates equal to or above historical rates. We could also incur more significant re-leasing costs, and the re-leasing process with respect to both anticipated and unanticipated vacancies could take longer.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a decrease in global economic activity that may result in a global recession. A sustained downturn in the U.S. economy due to the prolonged existence and threat of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause an economic recession all of which could impact the ability of our tenants to pay their rent when due. Our ability to lease space and negotiate and maintain favorable rents could also be negatively impacted by a prolonged recession in the economy. Moreover, a significant downturn in the New York City economy and resulting job losses could substantially reduce the demand for leasing space in our properties which could result in a decline in our occupancy percentage and reduction in rental revenues.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also led to complete or partial shutdowns of manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in many countries, which could result in temporary or long-term disruptions in supply chains which may also impact the operations at each of our tenants further impacting their revenues and ability to pay rent when due.
Our tenants may also be negatively impacted if the outbreak of COVID-19 occurs within their workforce or otherwise disrupts their management. Further, certain of our tenants may not be eligible for or may not be successful in securing stimulus funds under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020.
As a result of these and other factors, tenants that experience deteriorating financial conditions as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19 may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full or on a timely basis due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of funding, operational failures, or for other reasons. Our portfolio is primarily comprised of office, retail, bank, and restaurant industry tenants with 73% and 15% of April cash rent due from office and retail tenants, respectively. During the month of April 2020, we have collected 77% of April’s cash rent due from our office tenants, 39% of April’s cash rent due from our retail tenants and 73% of April’s cash rent due across our entire portfolio, including 76% of April’s cash rent due from our top 20 tenants (based on the total of April’s cash rent due from our top 20 tenants). We also entered into rent deferral agreements representing approximately 9% of the April cash rent that would have been due in April 2020 permitting these tenants to defer paying approximately 30% of the cash rent due for April, May and June of 2020 until the first half of 2021. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the amount of cash rent that we collect going forward cannot be determined at present and the April 2020 results may not be indicative of any future period. In addition, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect the cash rent that is due in future months including the deferred 2020 rent amounts due during 2021 under the deferral agreements.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our tenants and thus our ability to collect rents in future periods cannot be determined at present. We may face defaults and additional requests for rent deferrals or abatements or other allowances. Furthermore, if we declare any tenants in default for non-payment of rent or other potential breaches of their leases with us, we might not be able to

fully recover and may experience delays and additional costs in enforcing our rights as landlord to recover amounts due to us. Our ability to recover amounts under the terms of our leases may also be restricted or delayed due to moratoriums imposed by relevant jurisdictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic on landlord-initiated commercial eviction and collection actions. If any of our tenants, or any guarantor of a tenant’s lease obligations files for bankruptcy, we could be further adversely affected due to loss of revenue but also because the bankruptcy may also make it more difficult for us to lease the remainder of the property or properties in which the bankrupt tenant operates.
Because substantially all of our income is derived from rentals of commercial real property, our business, income, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and ability to service our debt obligations and to fund our ongoing other capital requirements would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants are unable to meet their obligations to us.
In addition to the impacts on us related to the impacts on our tenants described above, the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted us in other ways and could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to, among other factors:
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on favorable terms, or at all, due to the severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in our ongoing capital requirements and financing conditions may affect our access to capital, or increase the cost of capital, necessary to fund our capital requirements, such as refinancing maturing liabilities on a timely basis, or at all, and may have similar effects on our tenants and their ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;
disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions could have an impact on the overall amount of capital being invested in real estate and could result in price or value decreases for real estate assets, which could negatively impact the value of our assets and may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall economic returns;
we may not be able to acquire properties in the future;
if we are unable to comply with financial covenants and other obligations under of our loans, we could default under those agreements which could potentially result in an acceleration of our indebtedness or foreclosure on our properties and could otherwise negatively impact our liquidity;
we may recognize impairment charges on our assets;
one or more counterparties to our derivative financial instruments could default on their obligations to us or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of utilizing these instruments;
with respect to our leases, we may be required to record reserves on previously accrued amounts in cases where it is subsequently concluded that collection is not probable;
as operating restrictions on our tenants expire, operating costs may begin to rise, including for services, labor and personal protective equipment and other supplies, as our property managers take appropriate actions to protect tenants and property management personnel and not all of these costs will be recoverable through reimbursement from tenants;
difficulties completing capital improvements at our properties on a timely basis, on budget or at all, could affect the value of our properties;
our ability to ensure business continuity in the event our Advisor’s continuity of operations plan is not effective or is improperly implemented or deployed during a disruption; and
increased operating risks resulting from changes to our Advisor’s operations and remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on our financial reporting systems and internal controls and procedures, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence but could be material. The situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that we are not aware of currently. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but a prolonged outbreak as well as related mitigation efforts could continue to have a material impact on our revenues and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In connection with the conversion of the first tranche of shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock, we repurchased approximately seven fractional shares of Class B common stock at a price of $10.34 per share. Following a determination by our board of directors, the second tranche of shares of Class B common stock converted into 3,174,760 shares of Class A common stock and were listed on the NYSE on March 1, 2021. In connection with the conversion of the second tranche of shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock, we repurchased approximately six fractional shares of Class B common stock at a price of $9.80 per share.
