During the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we identified certain adjustments required to correct balances within total equity related to noncontrolling interests in our joint venture entities. Related to our acquisition of additional ownership interest in the joint venture entities, noncontrolling interest - consolidated real estate entities was understated and common shares of beneficial interest was overstated beginning in fiscal year 2017. The adjustments did not impact total assets, total liabilities, revenue, net income, net income available to common shareholders, number of common shares, or earnings per share.
Based on an analysis of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250 - “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“ASC 250”), Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 - “Materiality” (“SAB 99”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 - "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (“SAB 108”), we determined that these errors were immaterial to the previously-issued financial statements. The misstatement was corrected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2018 and the condensed consolidated statements of equity as of April 30, 2017, October 31, 2017 and April 30, 2018.
The effect of these revisions on our condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows:

UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are omitted. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, have been included.
The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our AnnualTransition Report on Form 10-K10-KT for the fiscal yeartransition period ended April 30,December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2018.February 27, 2019.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT OF 2017
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was passed on December 22, 2017. This Act includes a number of changes to the corporate income tax system, including (1) a reduction in the statutory federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for non-REIT “C” corporations, (2) changes to deductions for certain pass-through business income, and (3) potential limitations on interest expense, depreciation, and the deductibility of executive compensation. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate level and do not believe that any of the changes from the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2007 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, the impact of this Act is not yet fully known, and there can be no assurance that it will not have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income as reported in the condensed consolidated statement
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH
Effective May 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments which affects the presentation and disclosure of the statements of cash flows. Previously our consolidated statements of cash flows presented transfers between restricted cash and unrestricted cash as operating, financing, and investing cash activities based upon the required or intended purpose for the restricted cash. We revised our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2017 to conform to this presentation, and the effect of the revisions to net cash flows from operating and investing activities as previously reported for the six months ended October 31, 2017 are summarized in the following table: |

LEASES
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASUs 2016-02, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20, and 2019-01 related to leases using the modified retrospective approach. We elected to adopt the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which permits us to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs under the new standard, and the practical expedient related to land easements, which allows us to not evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for under ASC 840. We made an accounting policy election to exclude leases in which we are a lessee with a term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet.
As a lessor, we primarily lease multifamily apartment homes which qualify as operating leases with terms that are generally one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income represents approximately 98.0% of our total revenues and includes gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. Other property revenues represent the remaining 2.0% of our total revenues and are primarily driven by other fee income, which is typically recognized at a point in time.
Some of our apartment communities have commercial spaces available for lease. Lease terms for these spaces typically range from three to fifteen years. The leases for commercial spaces generally include options to extend the lease for additional terms.
Many of our leases contain non-lease components for utility reimbursement from our residents and common area maintenance from our commercial tenants. We have elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. The combined components are included in lease income and are accounted for under ASC 842.
The aggregate amount of future scheduled lease income on our operating leases for commercial spaces, excluding any variable lease income and non-lease components, as of September 30, 2019, was as follows:

REVENUES
We adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of May 1, 2018.2018, using the modified retrospective approach. We elected to apply the new standard to contracts that arewere not complete as of May 1, 2018. We also elected to omit disclosing the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods and services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those goods and services.
We primarily lease multifamily apartments under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income represents approximately 94.3% of our total revenues and includes gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss, and bad debt. Other property revenues represent the remaining 5.7% of our total revenue and are primarily driven by utility reimbursement from our residents and other fee income, which is typically recognized at a point in time.
Revenue streams that are included in ASU 2014-09 include:
Other property revenues: We recognize revenue for rental related income not included as a component of a lease, such as utility reimbursement and application fees, as earned, and have concluded that this is appropriate under the new standard.
| |
• | Other property revenues: We recognize revenue for rental related income not included as a component of a lease, such as application fees, as earned, and have concluded that this is appropriate under the new standard. |
Gains or losses on sales of real estate: Subsequent to the adoption of the new standard, a gain or loss is recognized when the criteria for derecognition of an asset are met, including when (1) a contract exists and (2) the buyer obtained
control of the nonfinancial asset that was sold. As a result, we may recognize a gain on real estate disposition transactions that previously did not qualify as a sale or for full profit recognition under the previous accounting standard.
We concluded that the adoption of the new standard required a cumulative adjustment of $627,000 to the opening balance of retained earnings as of May 1, 2018, due to the sale of a group of properties in the prior fiscal year. The sale of properties was
previously accounted for using the installment method. Under the installment method, we recorded a mortgage receivable net of the deferred gain on sale, which was to be recognized as payments were received. The gain on sale under the new revenue standard is recognized when control of the assets is transferred to the buyer. As a result of our adoption of the new standard, we recorded a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and increased the mortgage receivable by $627,000 to recognize the previously deferred gain on sale.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We periodically evaluate our long-lived assets, including investments in real estate, for impairment indicators. The impairment evaluation is performed on assets by property such that assets for a property form an asset group. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions, expected holding period of each asset group, and legal and environmental concerns. If indicators exist, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived asset group against the carrying amount of that asset group. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset group. If our anticipated holding period for properties, the estimated fair value of properties, or other factors change based on market conditions or otherwise, our evaluation of impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Reducing planned property holding periods may increase the likelihood of recording impairment losses.
During the sixnine months ended October 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, we recorded no0 impairment charges.
During the sixnine months ended October 31, 2017,September 30, 2018, we recognized $17.8 million of impairment charges on one apartment community, three commercial properties, and three parcels of $256,000land. We recognized impairments of $12.2 million on one apartment community in Grand Forks, North Dakota; $1.4 million on an industrial property in Bloomington, Minnesota; $922,000 on an industrial property in Woodbury, Minnesota; and $630,000 on a parcel of landretail property in Bismarck, ND. This property was written downMinot, North Dakota. These properties were written-down to estimated fair value duringbased on independent appraisals and market data or, in the first quartercase of fiscal year 2018 based onthe retail property, receipt of a market offer to purchase and our intent to dispose of the property. We disposedrecognized impairments of the property during the second quarter$428,000 on a parcel of fiscal year 2018.
CHANGE IN DEPRECIABLE LIVES OF REAL ESTATE ASSETS
We review theland in Williston, North Dakota; $1.5 million on a parcel of land in Grand Forks, North Dakota; and $709,000 on a parcel of land in Bismarck, North Dakota. These parcels were written down to estimated useful lives of our real estate assetsfair value based on an ongoing basis. Prior to our strategic shift to become a multifamily-focused REIT, which began in fiscal year 2016, we operated in five segments (office, retail, industrial, healthcareindependent appraisals and multifamily). Accordingly, our estimated useful lives represented a blend of these segments.
During fiscal years 2016, 2017, and 2018, we disposed of the bulk of our office, retail, industrial, and healthcare portfolios. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we determined it was appropriate to review and adjust our estimated useful lives to be specific to our remaining asset portfolio. Effective May 1, 2017, we changed the estimated useful lives of our real estate assets to better reflect the estimated periods during which they will be of economic benefit. Generally, the estimated lives of buildings and improvements that previously were 20-40 years have been decreased to 10-37 years, while those that were previously nine years were changed to 5-10 years. The effect of this change in estimate for the six months ended October 31, 2017, was to increase depreciation expense by approximately $20.3 million, decrease net income by $20.3 million, and decrease earnings per share by $0.15. Of the expense increase, $9.0 million, or $0.07 per share, represented depreciation on assets that were fully depreciated under the new estimated useful lives in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.market data.
MORTGAGE RECEIVABLE AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
In August 2017, we sold 13 multifamily propertiescommunities in exchange for cash and aan $11.0 million note secured by a mortgage on the assets. As of October 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, the balance of the note was $10.1 million, with 12 communities remaining balance onin the mortgage was $10.5 million.pool of assets used to secure the mortgage. The note bears an interest rate of 5.5% and matures in August 2020. Monthly payments are interest-only, with the principal balance payable at maturity. During the six
nine months ended October 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, we received and recognized approximately $350,000$428,000 and $119,000$455,000 of interest income, respectively. During the six months ended October 31, 2018, we received a payment of $425,000 to pay down the balance of the mortgage receivable and released one of the 13 properties from the assets used to secure the mortgage.
In July 2017, we originated a $16.2 million loan in a multifamily development located in New Hope, MN, a Minneapolis suburb. As of July 31, 2018, we hadWe funded the full initial loan balance, which appears in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, we may fundan additional amounts$341,000 upon satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the loan agreement. The note bears an interest rate of 6%6.0%, matures in July 2023, and provides us an option to purchase the development prior to the loan maturity date. Interest payments are due when the note matures. As of September 30, 2019, the balance of the note, including accrued interest, was $17.3 million which appears in other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We have determined that our Operating Partnership and each of our less-than-wholly owned real estate partnerships is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as the limited partners or the functional equivalent of limited partners lack substantive kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and the VIEs are required to be consolidated on our balance sheet because we have a controlling financial interest in the VIEs and have both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Because our Operating Partnership is a VIE, all of our assets and liabilities are held through a VIE.
GAIN ON LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a gain on litigation settlement of $300,000 and $6.6 million, respectively, from the settlement on a construction defect claim. The gain consisted of $5.2 million of cash received and $1.4 million of liabilities waived under the terms of the settlement.
NOTE 3 • EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of our common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”common shares”) outstanding during the period. We have issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under our 2015 Incentive Plan and Series D Convertible Preferred Units ("Series D preferred units"), which could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share upon exercise of the RSUs.RSUs or upon conversion of the Series D preferred units (refer to Note 4 for further discussion of the Series D preferred units). Other than the issuance of RSUs and Series D preferred units, we have no outstanding options, warrants, convertible stock or other contractual obligations requiring issuance of additional shares that would result in dilution of earnings. Under the terms of the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem their limited partnership units (“Units”) any time following the first anniversary of the date they acquired such Units (“Exchange Right”). Upon the exercise of Exchange Rights, and in our sole discretion, we may issue Common Sharescommon shares in exchange for Units on a one-for-one1-for-one basis. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017:

Under this program, we may repurchase Common Sharescommon shares in open-market purchases, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 plans, as determined by management and in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. The extent to which we repurchase our shares, and the timing of repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations, as determined by the executive management team.

NOTE 5 • SEGMENT REPORTING
We operate in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, management, development, redevelopment, and acquisition of apartment communities. Each of our operating properties is considered a separate operating segment because each property earns revenues, incurs expenses, and has discrete financial information. Our chief operating decision-makers evaluate each property's operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated and to assess performance. We do not group our operations based on geography, size, or type. Our apartment communities have similar long-term economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to our residents. No apartment community comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues, profits, or assets. Accordingly, our apartment communities are aggregated into a single reportable segment.
Prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, we reported our results in two reportable segments: multifamily and healthcare. We sold substantially all of our healthcare portfolio during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 and classified it as discontinued operations (see Note 7 for additional information). Healthcare no longer meets the quantitative thresholds for reporting as a separate reportable segment and therefore is included in “all other” with other non-multifamily properties. As of July 31, 2018, we no longer owned any healthcare properties.
Our executive management team comprises our chief operating decision-makers. This team measures the performance of our reportable segment based on net operating income (“NOI”), which we define as total real estate revenues less real estate
expenses. Real estate expenses consist of property operating expenses, andincluding real estate tax expense and do not include property management expense.taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expenses.expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.
The revenues andfollowing tables present NOI for the multifamily reportable segment are summarized as follows for the three and six month periodsnine months ended October 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, along with reconciliations to net income in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment assets are also reconciled to total assets as reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 • COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. We are subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising inIn the ordinary course of our business, mostoperations, we become involved in litigation. At this time, we know of which are covered by liability insurance. Various resident claims are also brought periodically, most of which are covered by insurance. While resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these claims andno material pending or threatened legal proceedings, will notor other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities, that would have a material effectimpact on our liquidity, financial position, cash flows, or resultsus.
Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While we currently have no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of our properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of our properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs to us.
Restrictions on Taxable Dispositions. Twenty-fourNaN of our properties, consisting of 4,0994,180 apartment units,homes, are subject to restrictions on our ability to resell in taxable transactions. These restrictions are contained indispositions under agreements we entered into with some of the sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. The real estate investment amount of these properties (net of accumulated depreciation) was $536.9 million at October 31, 2018. We do not believe that thesethe agreements materially affect the conduct of our business or our decisions whether to dispose of restricted properties during the restriction period because we generally hold these and our other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where we deem it to be in our shareholders' best interests to dispose of such properties, we generally seek to structure salesales of such properties as tax deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
If we decide to sell one or more of these properties and are unable to structure sales of such properties as tax deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Code, Otherwise, we may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements.
NOTE 7 • DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
We report in discontinued operations the results of operations and the related gains or losses on the sales of properties that have either been disposed of or classified as held for sale and meet the classification of a discontinued operation as described in ASC 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements," and ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." Under this standard, a disposal (or classification as held for sale) of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.
We classified no0 new dispositions or properties held for sale as discontinued operations during the three and sixnine months ended October 31, 2018September 30, 2019 and 2017.2018.
The following information shows the effect on net income and the gains or losses from the sales of properties classified as discontinued operations for the three and sixnine months ended October 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively:

NOTE 10 • DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Our objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swap contracts to fix the variable interest rate on our term loans.loans and a portion of our revolving line of credit. The interest rate swap contracts qualify as cash flow hedges.
Under ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which we adopted on November 1, 2017, the ineffective portion of a hedging instrument is no longernot required to be recognized currently in earnings or disclosed. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income for our interest rate swap will be reclassified to interest expense as interest expense is incurred on our term loans. During the next twelve months, we estimate an additional $320,000$1.4 million will be reclassified as a decreasean increase to interest expense.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into a $50.0 million interest rate swap to fix the interest rate on a portion of our primary line of credit.
At October 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, we had two3 interest rate swap contracts in effect with a notional amount of $145.0$195.0 million and one1 additional interest rate swap that becomes effective on January 31, 2023, with a notional amount of $70.0 million.

NOTE 11 • FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of our financial instruments approximate their carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements except for fixed rate debt.
In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, we apply FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,Disclosures." or ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
The fair value of our interest rate swaps areis determined using the market standard methodology of netting discounted expected variable cash payments and receipts. The variable cash payments and receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (a forward curve) derived from observable market interest rate curves. We also consider both our own nonperformance risk and the counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement.measurement (Level 3).
Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
There were no non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at October 31, 2018.September 30, 2019. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at April 30,December 31, 2018, consisted of real estate investments that were written-down to estimated fair value during fiscal year 2018.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended October 31, 2018, were $45.6 million, compared to $41.9 million in the three months ended October 31, 2017, an increase of $3.8 million or 9.0%. The increase in revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2018, resulted primarily from properties acquired in fiscal year 2018 and same-store properties, as shown in the table below.

(1) | Weighted average occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental revenue by scheduled rental revenue. Scheduled rental revenue represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant homes valued at estimated market rents. When calculating actual rents for occupied homes and market rents for vacant homes, delinquencies, and concessions are not taken into account. Market rates are determined using the currently offered effective rates on new leases at the community and are used as the starting point in determination of the market rates of vacant apartment homes. We believe that weighted average occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant unit at its estimated market rate. Weighted average occupancy may not completely reflect short-term trends in physical occupancy, and our calculation of weighted average occupancy may not be comparable to that disclosed by other REITs. |

Property Operating Expenses, Excluding Real Estate Taxes. Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes, increased by 1.0% to $14.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $14.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. An increase of $1.4 million at non-same-store properties was offset by decreases of $517,000 at same-store properties and $769,000 from sold properties.
Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes, increased by 6.4% to $28.7 million in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $27.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. An increase of $3.0 million at non-same-store properties was partially offset by decreases of $188,000 at same-store properties and $1.1 million from sold properties.
Real Estate Taxes. Real estate taxes increased by 10.4% to $5.1 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $4.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. An increase of $584,000 at non-same-store properties and $123,000 at same-store properties was partially offset by a decrease of $228,000 from sold and other properties.
Real estate taxes increased by 9.7% to $10.2 million in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $9.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. An increase of $1.2 million at non-same-store properties and $309,000 at same-store properties was partially offset by a decrease of $794,000 from sold properties.
Property Management Expenses. Property management expense decreased by 3.9% to $1.3 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Property management expense was $2.7 million in each of the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by 11.1% to $19.2 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $17.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily attributable to non-same-store properties.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by 11.3% to $37.8 million in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $42.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a change in the estimated useful lives of our assets in the prior fiscal year, offset by increased depreciation from non-same-store properties.. In the six months ended October 31, 2017, we recognized an additional $9.0 million in depreciation expense due to a one-time adjustment for
assets that were fully depreciated under the new estimated useful lives. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
Impairment of Real Estate Investments. We recognized no impairment in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $256,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. See Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 8.2% to $3.4 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $3.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, due primarily to higher estimated incentive compensation related to the expected achievement of certain financial metric targets. General and administrative expenses increased by 1.7% to $7.2 million in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $7.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by 6.0% to $8.0 million in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $8.5 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, due primarily to a decrease in average debt outstanding. Interest expense decreased by 1.6% to $16.4 million in the six months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $16.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, due primarily to a decrease in debt outstanding.
Gain (loss) on Sale of Real Estate and Other Investments. We recorded a net loss of $232,000 and a net gain of $5.3 million in continuing operations in the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We recorded net gains of $9.0 million and $5.4 million in continuing operations in the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Properties sold in the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, are detailed below in the section captioned “Property Acquisitions and Dispositions.”
Income from Discontinued Operations. We recorded no income from discontinued operations in the three months ended October 31, 2018, compared to $15.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. We recorded income from discontinued operations of $570,000 and $17.8 million , respectively, in the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for further information on discontinued operations.

Net Operating Income, (“NOI”)or NOI, is a non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP measure, which we define as total real estate revenues less real estate expenses. Real estate expenses consist of property operating expenses, andincluding real estate tax expense and do not include property management expense.taxes. We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing, property management overhead, casualty losses, and general and administrative expenses. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders, or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.
The following table shows real estate revenue, real estate operating expenses, and NOI for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for our multifamily and other properties. For a reconciliation of NOI to net income as reported, see Note 5 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
The table also shows multifamily NOIWe have provided certain information on a same-store and non-same-store properties basis. Same-store propertiesapartment communities are properties owned or in service for the entirety of the periods being compared, and, in the case of development or re-development properties, those that have achieved a target level of physical occupancy of 90%. For comparisonOn the first day of each calendar year, we determine the six months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, four apartment communities were categorizedcomposition of our same-store pool for that year as non-same-store.
This comparisonwell as adjust the previous year, which allows us to evaluate the performance offull period-over-period operating comparisons for existing propertiesapartment communities and their contribution to net income. Management believesWe believe that measuring performance on a same-store property basis is useful to investors because it enables evaluation of how a fixed pool of our propertiescommunities are performing year-over-year. Management usesWe use this measure to assess whether or not it haswe have been successful in increasing NOI, andrenewing the leases on existing residents, controlling operating costs.costs, and making prudent capital improvements. The discussion below focuses on the main factors affecting real estate revenue and real estate expenses from same-store properties.apartment communities because changes from one year to another in real estate revenue and expenses from non-same-store apartment communities are generally due to the addition of those properties to our real estate portfolio, and accordingly provide less useful information for evaluating ongoing operational performance of our real estate portfolio.

Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, at same-store communities increased by 2.8% or $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. Increases occurred in utilities and inAt same-store communities, real estate taxes increased by $474,000, of which $130,000 was due to an adjustment in the prior year comparable period from the reallocation of cost at a mixed use property. Insurance expense at same-store properties increased by $969,000, of which $324,000 was due to an adjustment in the prior comparable period from the favorable resolution of insurance claims and $383,000 was due to higher deductible costs, with the remainder due to an increase in premiums. Controllable expenses decreased by $109,000, which was primarily due to lower compensation costs as a result of a reduction in employee headcount but was partially offset by higher snow removal costs as a result of historically high levels of snowfall during the winter as well as landscaping and other maintenance costs.
Property management expenses. Property management expense, consisting of property management overhead and property management fees paid to third parties, was $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 1.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by technology initiatives and compensation costs.
Property management expense increased by 11.3% to $4.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $4.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase in property management expense was primarily due to technology initiatives and compensation costs, including severance.
Casualty gain (loss). Casualty loss was $178,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $225,000 in the same period of the prior year.
Casualty loss was $911,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $636,000 from the same period of the prior year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, many of our markets were impacted by a series of adverse weather-related events. These events included extreme cold and record-setting snowfall, which caused excess ice and snow accumulation, resulting in water damage to some of our apartment communities. We believe that the damages will be covered by insurance and have recorded casualty losses of $641,000 during the period, representing the aggregate annual stop loss under our insurance coverage. The remaining increase is a result of uninsured water intrusion damage at one apartment community and uninsured water damage due to mechanical failure at another apartment community. In the same period of the prior year, we recorded only $50,000 in aggregate annual stop loss under our insurance coverage as a result of favorable claims experience.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by 2.2% to $18.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $19.2 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to sold properties.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by 6.0% to $55.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $58.8 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to sold properties, certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized, and an adjustment in the prior comparable period due to shortening the estimated useful life of a non-multifamily property, which elevated depreciation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by 9.6% to $3.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $3.1 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to increases in levy ratesconsulting fees and compensation costs as a result of a decrease in select markets,open positions. These increases were partially offset by lower insurancea decrease in legal fees related to our pursuit of recovery on a construction defect claim.
General and administrative expenses decreased by 2.8% to $10.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $11.1 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily attributable to decreases of $476,000 in legal fees related to our pursuit of recovery on a construction defect claim, $707,000 in severance-related costs, and $241,000 in real
estate tax on sold parcels of land. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $927,000 in compensation costs as a result of a decrease in open positions and higher incentive compensation related to expanding the participant pool in the long-term incentive plan.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by 6.1% to $7.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $8.2 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to favorablethe replacement of maturing debt with lower rate debt.
Interest expense decreased by 7.5% to $23.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $25.1 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of our outstanding indebtedness and the replacement of maturing debt with lower rate debt.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. We recorded a loss experience.on extinguishment of debt in the three month ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $1.1 million and $540,000, respectively. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $1.5 million and $673,000, respectively.
Interest and other income. We recorded interest and other income in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $498,000 and $395,000, respectively. We recorded interest and other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONSGain (loss) on sale of real estate and other investments. We recorded net gains of $39.1 million in continuing operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $9.1 million in the same period of the prior year. We recorded net gains of $39.8 million and $11.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
DuringGain (loss) on litigation settlement. We recorded a gain on litigation settlement of $300,000 and $6.6 million in the second quarterthree and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, from the settlement of fiscal yeara construction defect claim.
Income from discontinued operations. We recorded no income from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold one commercial property and one parcelcompared to $570,000 in the same period of unimproved land for a total sale pricethe prior year. We recorded no income from discontinued operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $14.7 million in the same period of $3.1 million. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, we had no acquisitions of properties.prior year.

Net income available to common shareholders was $29.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $948,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net income available to common shareholders was driven by increases in gain on sale of properties and dispositions duringrevenue.

The change in net income (loss) available to common shareholders was driven by increases in gain on sale of properties, gain on litigation settlement, and 2017.revenue and decreases in impairment charges and depreciation expense.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
We consider Funds from Operations (“FFO”) to be a useful measure of performance for an equity REIT. .
We use the definition of FFOFunds from Operations ("FFO") adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”Nareit”). NAREIT currentlyNareit defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common shareholders computedcalculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for:excluding:
depreciation and amortization related to real estate;
gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets;
gains and losses from change in control; and
impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
Due to limitations of the Nareit FFO definition, adopted by NAREIT, we have made certain interpretations in applying thethis definition. We believe that all such interpretations not specifically provided for in the NAREITNareit definition are consistent with this definition. Nareit's FFO White Paper 2018 Restatement clarified that impairment write-downs of land related to a REIT's main business are excluded from FFO and a REIT has the definition. Effective for the third quarteroption to exclude impairment write-downs of fiscal year 2018, we included impairment charges in FFO for assets that are incidental to ourthe main business.
We believe that FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, is helpful to investors in understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, thereby providing an additional perspective on our operating results. We believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets generally is not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. The exclusion in NAREIT’sNareit’s definition of FFO of impairment write-downswrite-
downs and gains and losses from the sale of previously depreciated operating real estate assets helps to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the base of our investments, and assists management and investors in comparing those operating results between periods. FFO is also used by our management and investors to identify trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
While FFO is widely used by us as a primary performance metric, not all real estate companies use the same definition of FFO or calculate FFO the same way. Accordingly, FFO presented here is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance, but rather should be considered as an additional, supplemental measure. FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of our needs or our ability to service indebtedness or make distributions.
FFO applicable to Common Sharescommon shares and Units for the three months ended October 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, increased to $11.7$12.2 million compared to $9.5$11.0 million for the comparable period ended October 31, 2017,September 30, 2018, an increase of 23.5%10.8%. This increase was primarily due to higher net operating incomeNOI at same-store and non-same-store properties, reductionnon-same store communities, reductions in preferred dividends,interest expense, and costs incurred in the prior comparable period for the redemption of preferred shares.a gain on litigation settlement. The increase was partially offset by the reductiona decrease in net operating incomeNOI from dispositions.sold properties and increases in loss on debt extinguishment, property management expense, and general and administrative expense. FFO applicable to Common Sharescommon shares and Units for the sixnine months ended October 31, 2018, decreasedSeptember 30, 2019, increased to $22.2$41.1 million, compared to $22.5$31.7 million for the comparable period ended October 31, 2017,September 30, 2018, an increase of 29.7%. This increase was primarily due to a reduction$6.6 million gain on litigation settlement, as well as higher NOI at same-store and non-same-store communities and reductions in interest expense and general and administrative expenses. The increase in FFO was partially offset by decreases in NOI from sold properties and increases in weather-related casualty loss, loss on debt extinguishment, and property management expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Financial Condition
We desire to create and maintain a strong balance sheet that offers financial flexibility and enables us to pursue and acquire propertiesapartment communities that enhance our portfolio composition, operating metrics, and cash flow growth prospects. We intend to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by continuing to focus on improving our core fundamentals, which include generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, our unsecured credit facility, and cash flows generated from operations. Other sources include availability under our unsecured lines of credit, proceeds from property dispositions, offerings of preferred and common stock under our shelf registration statement, offerings of preferred and common units under our limited partnership agreement, and unsecured term loansdebt or long-term secured mortgages.
Our primary liquidity demands are normally-recurring operating and overhead expenses, debt service and repayments, capital improvements to our properties,communities, distributions to the holders of our preferred shares, Common Shares,common shares, and Units, value-add redevelopment, common share buybacks and acquisitionUnit redemptions, and acquisitions of additional properties.communities.
We believe that our financial condition and liquidity are sufficient to meet our reasonably anticipated liquidity demands during 2019 and 2020. Factors that could increase or decrease our future liquidity include, but are not limited to, volatility in capital and credit markets, our ability to access capital and credit markets, the minimum REIT dividend requirements, and our ability to complete asset purchases, sales, or developments.

As of October 31, 2018,September 30, 2019, our line of credit had total commitments of $250.0 million, with borrowing capacity based on the value of properties contained in an unencumbered asset pool (UAP)("UAP"). The UAP provided for a borrowing capacity of approximately $246.0$250.0 million at quarter-end, offering additional borrowing availability of $176.5$146.9 million beyond the $69.5$103.1 million drawn, including the balance on our operating line of credit, as of OctoberSeptember 30, 2019. At December 31, 2018. At April 30, 2018, the line of credit borrowing capacity was $300.0$232.5 million based on the UAP, of which $124.0$57.5 million was drawn on the line. This credit facility matures on August 31, 2022, with one twelve-month option to extend the maturity date at our election.
During the yearthree months ended AprilSeptember 30, 2018,2019, we closed on a $59.9 million mortgage loan.

Proceeds from this loan were used to pay down balances on our line of credit under our revolving credit facility.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into a private shelf agreement for the issuance of up to $150.0 million of unsecured senior promissory notes. In September 2019, we issued $75.0 million of Series A notes due September 13, 2029, bearing interest at a rate of 3.84% annually, and $50.0 million of Series B notes due September 30, 2028, bearing interest at a rate of 3.69% annually, under this facility. An additional $25.0 million remains available under this agreement.
As of September 30, 2019, we had 49 unencumbered apartment communities representing 56.0% of third quarter 2019 multifamily NOI.
We also have a $6.0 million operating line of credit. This operating line of credit is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. This operating line has a one-year term, with pricing based on a market spread plus the one-month LIBOR index rate.

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Form 10-K10-KT for the fiscal yeartransition period ended April 30,December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on June 28, 2018February 27, 2019 under the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Effective MayJanuary 1, 2018,2019, we adopted ASU 2014-09,2016-02, "Revenue from Contracts With Customers,Leases" which eliminatesrequired lessees to recognize most leases on the transaction-balance sheet through right of use assets and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognitionlease liabilities. It also made
certain changes to lessor accounting. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for additional information. There have been no other significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the sixnine months ended October 31, 2018.September 30, 2019.
ITEMItem 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk is primarily related to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates on our current and future fixed and variable rate debt obligations. We currently use interest rate swaps to offset the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our $70.0 million and $75.0 million variable-rate term loans. The swap on our $70.0 million term loan has a notional amount of $70.0 million and an average pay rate of 2.16%. The swap on our $75.0 million term loan has a notional amount of $75.0 million and an average pay rate of 2.81%. The fair value of our interest rate swap contracts is $3.3 million. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The interest rate swap exposesswaps expose us to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterpartycounterparties under the terms of the agreement.agreements.
AsDuring the three months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into a private shelf agreement for the issuance of October 31, 2018, we had no variable-rate mortgage debt outstanding and $214.5up to $150.0 million of variable-rate borrowings under our line of credit and term loans, of which, $145.0 million is fixed through interest rate swaps. We estimate that an increase in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis pointsunsecured senior promissory notes with constant risk spreads would result in our net income being reduced by approximately $695,000 on an annual basis. We estimate that a decrease in 30-day LIBOR of 100 basis points would increase the amount of net income by a similar amount.
Mortgage loan indebtedness decreased by $62.7 million as of October 31, 2018, compared to April 30, 2018, due to loan payoffs and property dispositions. As of October 31, 2018, 100% of our $449.4 million of mortgage debt was at fixed rates of interest, with staggered maturities, compared to 95.6% as of April 30, 2018. As of October 31, 2018, the weighted average rate of interest onthat reduce our mortgage debt was 4.59%, compared to 4.69% on April 30, 2018. Our goal is to minimize exposure to interest rate risk; however,fluctuation. In September 2019, we may become vulnerableissued $75.0 million of Series A notes due September 13, 2029 bearing interest at a rate of 3.84% annually and $50.0 million of Series B notes due September 30, 2028 bearing interest at a rate of 3.69% annually under this facility. The proceeds from this facility were used to significant fluctuations in interest rates on any future repricing or refinancing ofrepay outstanding amounts under our fixed or variable ratecredit facility and retire mortgage debt and on future debt.
The following table provides information aboutpartially fund the acquisition of Lugano at Cherry Creek. As a result of entering into this facility, we have been able to eliminate the 2019 maturities, lengthen the average debt maturity duration, and lower our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Average variable rates are basedrate of debt.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for a more complete discussion of our interest rate sensitivity. As of September 30, 2019, our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since our Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the eight months ended December 31, 2018.
