2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lightstone REIT I and its Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries (over which the CompanyLightstone REIT I exercises financial and operating control). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and if deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which the Company has control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling interest but have significant influence, the Company accounts for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

 

There are judgments and estimates involved in determining if an entity in which the Company has made an investment is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The entity is evaluated to determine if it is a VIE by, among other things, calculating the percentage of equity being risked compared to the total equity of the entity. Determining expected future losses involves assumptions of various possibilities of the results of future operations of the entity, assigning a probability to each possibility and using a discount rate to determine the net present value of those future losses. A change in the judgments, assumptions, and estimates outlined above could result in consolidating an entity that should not be consolidated or accounting for an investment using the equity method that should in fact be consolidated, the effects of which could be material to our financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus REIT I, Inc. and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

 

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate and real-estate related investments, marketable securities, notes receivable, depreciable lives, and revenue recognition. Application of these assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

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

 

Derivative Financial InstrumentsIncome Taxes

 

The Company utilizes derivative financial instrumentshas elected to reduce interest rate risk. Thebe taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2005. If the Company qualifies as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income or capital gain that it distributes to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not holdequal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at the regular corporate rate, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed income, if any.

To qualify or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Themaintain our qualification as a REIT, the Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilitiesengages in certain activities through wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). As such, it is subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and it remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its ultimate duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future.Land Parcel Sale

See “St. Augustine Outlet Center” for additional information.six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Additionally, during 2020 the Company saw deterioration in both the occupancy and rental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the greater New York City metropolitan area was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, both occupancy and rental rates consistently improved throughout 2021 and returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Thereafter, occupancy has continued to remain stable and the property has experienced strong growth in its rental rates thus far in 2022.

To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on the Company’s development projects. Furthermore, the Company’s other real estate-related investments (both its preferred investment in related party and its nonrecourse loan made to an unaffiliated third-party borrower) also relate to various development projects, which are at different stages in their respective development process. These investments, which are subject to similar risks, have also not yet been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The extent to which the Company’s business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If the Company’s operating properties, development projects and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted for an extended period because (i) occupancy levels and rental rates decline, (ii) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (iii) borrowers are unable to pay scheduled debt service on notes receivable, (iv) development activities are delayed and/or (v) various related party entities are unable to pay monthly preferred distributions on the Company’s preferred investments in related parties, the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

ReclassificationsRecently Adopted Accounting Standards

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the Company incurred losschanges how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The updated standard introduces an impairment methodology currently in use with a methodologymodel that reflectsis based on expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. For trade receivables, other receivables, and requires considerationheld-to-maturity debt instruments, entities are required to use a new forward looking expected loss model that generally will result in an earlier recognition of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to informallowances for losses. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating expected credit loss estimates.losses. The new guidance isupdate was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoptionCompany adopted the new standard, as of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has reviewedJanuary 1, 2023, and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements willit did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Adverse Developments Affecting the Financial Services Industry and Concentration of Risk

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. However, in March and April 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on the Company’s operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, the Company’s ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position,condition and results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

St. Augustine Outlet Center

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupancy of the Company’s St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail property located in St. Augustine Florida, which consisted of 0.3 million of gross leasable area, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, the Company began exploring various strategic alternatives for the property. As a result, during the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that it would no longer continue to pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, began to enter into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to its other tenants that it would not renew their leases at the scheduled expiration of their lease. Due to this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St. Augustine Outlet Center, the Company recorded a non-cash loss on impairment of real estate of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021.

Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated the property during the first quarter of 2022 and on June 29, 2022, the Company entered into a lease termination agreement with the property’s final tenant providing for them to receive an aggregate of $750 provided they vacated the property no later than July 15, 2022. The final tenant vacated the property in July 2022 and the Company ceased operations of the St. Augustine Outlet Center effective July 15, 2022 and shortly thereafter, commenced demolition of the property’s building and improvements in order to prepare the various land parcels for sale and/or lease. The demolition of the property’s buildings and improvements was substantially completed during the third quarter of 2022 and the Company recognized a loss on demolition of $16.6 million consisting of the write-off of the carrying value of the property’s building and improvements plus related costs.

Subject to the various conditions, the Company may elect to exchange the Marco OP Units and/or the Marco II OP Units to Simon OP Units which must be immediately delivered to Simon Inc. in exchange for cash or similar number of shares of Simon Inc.’s common stock (“Simon Stock”). Accordingly, the Marco OP Units and Marco II OP Units are valued based on the closing price of Simon Stock, which was $89.75115.48 per share and $159.7794.92 per share as of SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, andrespectively. Additionally, the closing price of Simon Stock was $117.48 per share as of December 31, 2021, respectively.2022.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, certain of the Company’s marketable debt securities had net unrealized losses of $270 and $28, respectively. However, the Company does not consider these declines in market value to be other than temporary in nature. When evaluating the debt investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not consider any of its investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The Company may sell certain of its investments prior to their stated maturities for strategic purposes, in anticipation of credit deterioration, or for duration management.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has entered into two interest rate cap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations or risk of certain real estate investment’s interest expense on its variable rate debt. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance to be minimal.

 

The Company is accounting for the interest rate cap contracts as economic hedges, marking these contracts to market, taking into account present interest rates compared to the contracted fixed rate over the life of the contract and recording the unrealized gain or loss on the interest rate cap contracts inon the consolidated statements of operations.

 

For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.6$38 and unrealized losses of $0.4 million, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $0.4 million and $2.8$1.2 million, which is included in other income/(expense), net inrespectively, on the consolidated statementstatements of operations, representing the change in the fair value of these economic hedges during such periods.

 

The two interest rate cap contracts have notional amounts of $90.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, and effectively cap the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)LIBOR through June 30, 2023 and its replacement rate thereafter at 3.00% and 2.50%, respectively.. Both interest rate cap contracts mature on June 3, 2024.2024. The aggregate fair valuevalues of the interest rate cap contracts was $of $2.9 3.12,880 million and $3.3 3,279 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and isrespectively, are included in prepaid expenses, restricted cash and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

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

 

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

The fair values of the Company’s common equity securities are measured using readily quoted prices for these investments which are listed for trade on active markets. The fair values of the Company’s preferred equity securities and corporate bonds are measured using readily available quoted prices for these securities; however, the markets for these securities are not active. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts are measured using other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Additionally, as noted and disclosed above, the Company’s Marco OP and OP II units are both ultimately exchangeable for cash or similar number of shares of Simon Stock, therefore the Company uses the quoted market price of Simon Stock to measure the fair value of the Company’s Marco OP and OP II units.

 

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

Distribution on Common Shares

On May 10, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized and the Company declared a distribution of $0.175 per share for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2023. On July 15, 2023, the distribution of $3.8 million was paid in full using a combination of cash and approximately 7,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment program (“DRIP”), at a discounted price of $11.58 per share, equal to 95% of the Company’s most recently published estimated net asset value per share of $12.19 as of September 30, 2022.

Because the quarterly distribution declared by the Board of Directors on the Common Shares for the quarterly period ending on September 30, 2023 does not equal at least an annualized rate of 7.0% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, no distributions were declared on the SLP Units. Any future distributions on the SLP Units will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return.

Future distributions, if any, declared will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors based on their analysis of the Company’s performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. The Board of Directors will consider various factors in its determination, including but not limited to, the sources and availability of capital, operating and interest expenses, the Company’s ability to refinance near-term debt, as well as the IRS’s annual distribution requirement that REITs distribute no less than 90% of their taxable income. The Company cannot assure that any future distributions will be made or that it will maintain any particular level of distributions that it has previously established or may establish.

Adverse Developments Affecting the Financial Services Industry and Concentration of Credit Risk

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash. However, in March and April of 2023, certain U.S. government banking regulators took steps to intervene in the operations of certain financial institutions due to liquidity concerns, which caused general heightened uncertainties in financial markets. While these events have not had a material direct impact on our operations, if further liquidity and financial stability concerns arise with respect to banks and financial institutions, either nationally or in specific regions, our ability to access cash or enter into new financing arrangements may be threatened, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

COVID-19 Pandemicrecession.

 

On March 20, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemicOur overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and it remains highly unpredictablegeopolitical conditions and dynamictheir impacts on consumer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, increases in costs due to inflation, higher interest rates, certain labor and its ultimate durationsupply chain challenges and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergenceother changes in economic conditions, may adversely affect our results of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, and the ongoing development, administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, including booster shots. Accordingly, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupancy of our St. Augustine Outlet Center, which is located in St. Augustine, Florida, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, we began exploring various strategic alternatives for the St. Augustine Outlet Center, which ultimately led to us ceasing operations of the center effective July 15, 2022 and demolishing the existing building and improvements during the third quarter of 2022. See “St. Augustine Outlet Center” for additional information.

Additionally, during 2020 we saw deterioration in both the occupancy and rental rates for Gantry Park Landing, which is located on Long Island, New York, as the luxury rental market in the greater New York City metropolitan area was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, both occupancy and rental rates consistently improved throughout 2021 and returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Thereafter, occupancy has continued to remain stable and the property has experienced strong growth in its rental rates thus far in 2022.

To-date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had any significant impact on our development projects Furthermore, our other real estate-related investments (both our preferred investment in related party and nonrecourse loan made to an unaffiliated third-party borrower) also relate to various development projects which are at different stages in their respective development process. These investments, which are subject to similar risks, have also not yet been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The extent to which our business may be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will largely depend on both current and future developments, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If our operating properties, development projects and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted for an extended period because (i) occupancy levels and rental rates further decline, (ii) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (iii) borrowers are unable to pay scheduled debt service on notes receivable, (iv) development activities are delayed and/or (v) various related party entities are unable to pay monthly preferred distributions on our preferred investments in related parties, our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted.

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

Exterior Street Project

In February 2019, we acquired two adjacent parcels of land located at 355 and 399 Exterior Street, located in the Mott Haven neighborhood in the Bronx borough of New York City, and subsequently acquired an additional adjacent wedge parcel in September 2021. On these three land parcels we plan, subject to economic and local market conditions and regulations, to construct a proposed mixed-use multifamily residential and commercial retail project (“Exterior Street Project”). Through June 30, 2023, we have incurred and capitalized $95.7 million of costs related to the development of the Exterior Street Project.

St. Augustine Land Holdings

Effective July 15, 2022, we ceased operations of our wholly owned St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail property located in St. Augustine, Florida, and shortly thereafter, commenced demolition of the property’s building and improvements in order to prepare the various land parcels for potential sale and/or lease. The demolition of the property’s buildings and improvements was substantially completed during the third quarter of 2022. As a result, we own various adjacent land parcels (the “St. Augustine Land Holdings”) which are included in land and improvements on the consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed the disposition of a parcel of land, which was part of the St. Augustine Land Holdings, to an unrelated third party for a contractual sales price of $1.5 million and recognized a gain on disposition of real estate of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The aggregate carrying value of the St. Augustine Land Holdings was $4.6 million and $4.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Significant Transactions and Events during 2023 and 2022

Columbus Joint Venture - Acquisition of Columbus Properties

On November 29, 2022, we along with CRE Columbus Member (“Converge”), a majority owned subsidiary of Converge Holdings LLC, a reinsurance business owned by the Sponsor, and LEL Columbus Member LLC (the “BVI Member”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lightstone Enterprises Limited (“BVI”), a real estate investment company owned by the Sponsor, entered into a joint venture agreement to form the Columbus Joint Venture for the purpose of acquiring nine multifamily properties (the “Columbus Properties”) located in the area of Columbus, Ohio for a contractual purchase price of $465.0 million. We have an ownership interest of 19% in the Columbus Joint Venture. Converge and the BVI Member, which are both related parties, have ownership interests of 19% and 62%, respectively. Additionally, the Manager of the Columbus Joint Venture is LEL Bronx Manager LLC, an entity wholly owned by BVI.

On November 29, 2022, the Columbus Joint Venture completed the purchase of the Columbus Properties. The acquisition was funded with $74.3 million of cash and $390.7 million of aggregate proceeds from preferred investments from unrelated third-parties and loans from two financial institutions. In connection with the acquisition and financings, the total cash paid, including closing, financing and other transaction costs and pro-rations, was $92.3 million and we paid $17.5 million representing our 19.0% pro rata share. In connection with the acquisition, we also paid the Advisor a separate acquisition fee of $2.4 million, equal to 2.75% of our pro-rata share of the contractual purchase price which is reflected in the carrying value of our investment in unconsolidated affiliated real estate entity on the consolidated balance sheets. Commencing on the date of acquisition, we have accounted for our ownership interest in the Columbus Joint Venture in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

Opening of Lower East Side Moxy Hotel

On October 27, 2022, we substantially completed the development of our wholly owned Lower East Side Moxy Hotel located in the Lower East Side neighborhood in the Manhattan borough of New York City and it opened for business. Additionally, all four of the food and beverage venues within the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel opened during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Closure and Demolition of the St. Augustine Outlet Center

 

We wholly owned the St. Augustine Outlet Center, a retail center located in St. Augustine, Florida, which was originally built in 1998 and subsequently acquired by us in 2006 and renovated and further expanded in 2008.

2008 to 0.3 million of gross leasable area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupancy of our St. Augustine Outlet Center a retail property which consisted of 0.3 million of gross leasable area, significantly declined and because of limited leasing success, we began exploring various strategic alternatives for the property. As a result, during the third quarter of 2021, we determined that we would no longer continue to pursue leasing of space to tenants and therefore, began to enter into lease termination agreements with certain tenants and also provided notice to our other tenants that we would not renew their leases at the scheduled expiration of their lease. Due to this change in leasing strategy and resulting decrease in the fair value of the St. Augustine Outlet Center, we recorded a non-cash loss on impairment of real estate of $11.3 million during the third quarter of 2021.

 

25

Because of the aforementioned lease terminations and scheduled expirations, substantially all of the tenants vacated the property during the first quarter of 2022 and on June 29, 2022, we entered into a lease termination agreement with the property’s final tenant providing for them to receive an aggregate of $750$0.8 million provided they vacated the property no later than July 15, 2022. The final tenant vacated the property in July 2022 and we ceased operations of the St. Augustine Outlet Center effective July 15, 2022 and shortly thereafter, commenced demolition of the property’s building and improvements in order to prepare the various land parcels for potential sale and/or lease. The demolition of the property’s buildings and improvements was substantially completed during the third quarter of 2022 and we recognized a loss on demolition of $16.6 million consisting of the write-off of the carrying value of the property’s building and improvements plus related costs.

 

In connection with the terms of certain of the lease termination agreements, we agreed to make various payments to certain tenants provided they closed their store and vacated the property. We expense lease termination fees in the period the lease termination agreement is executed and such expenses are included in property operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized aggregate lease termination fees of $825. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a lease termination fee of $425.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview:

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we had $37.9$11.6 million of cash on hand, $0.6$5.0 million of restricted cash and $41.5$43.4 million of marketable securities. We also have the ability to make draws from a line of credit up to a maximum of $20.0 million, ($10.3 million was available as of September 30, 2022), subject to certain conditions (see “Notes Payable – Line of Credit”). We currently believe that these items along with rental incomerevenues from our operating properties; interest and dividend income earned on our marketable securities and notes receivable and preferred investment;receivable; as well as proceeds received from the potential sales of our marketable securities and repayment of theour notes receivable and redemption of the preferred investment will be sufficient to satisfy our expected cash requirements for at least twelve months from the date of filing this report, which primarily consistingconsist of our anticipated operating expenses, scheduled debt service (excluding balloon payments due at maturity), capital expenditures (including certain of our development activities), contributions to our unconsolidated affiliated real estate entity (Columbus Joint Venture), redemptions and cancellations of shares of our common stock and distributions to our shareholders, if any, required to maintain our status as a REIT for the foreseeable future. However, we may also obtain additional funds through selective asset dispositions, joint venture arrangements, new borrowings and refinancing of existing debt.

 

We currentlyAdditionally, we have twoanother development projects. Construction of our Lower East Side Moxy Hotel was substantially complete as of September 30, 2022 andproject, the hotel and two of its five food and beverage venues subsequently opened on October 27, 2022. Additionally, our Exterior Street Project, which is currently under development and for which we expect to seek construction financing and/or a joint venture arrangement to fund a substantial portion of its future development and construction costs. See “Development Activities”“Exterior Street Project” for additional information.

 

Our borrowings consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties.
In general We typically have obtained level payment financing, meaning that the typeamount of future financing executed by us to a large extent willdebt service payable would be dictated bysubstantially the naturesame each year. As such, most of the investment and current market conditions. To the extent floating rate debt is used to finance the purchase of real estate, management will evaluate a number of protections against significant increases in interest rates, including the purchase of interest rate cap instruments.mortgages on our properties provide for so-called “balloon” payments.

 

Additionally, in order to leverage our investments in marketable securities and seek a higher rate of return, we have access to borrowings under a margin loan and line of credit collateralized by the securities held with the financial institution that has provided the margin loan. This loan isand line of credit as well as a portion of our Marco OP Units. These loans are due on demand and any outstanding balance must be paid upon the liquidation of securities.

 

Our charter provides that the aggregate amount of borrowing, both secured and unsecured, may not exceed 300% of net assets in the absence of a justification showing that a higher level is appropriate, the approval of the Board of Directors and disclosure to stockholders. Net assets means our total assets, other than intangibles, at cost before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves less our total liabilities, calculated at least quarterly on a basis consistently applied. Any excess in borrowing over such 300% of net assets level must be approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report to stockholders, along with justification for such excess. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, our total borrowings of $245.0$261.0 million represented 99%115% of net assets.

Any future properties that we may acquire or investments we may make may be funded through a combination of borrowings, proceeds generated from the sale and redemption of our marketable securities, available for sale, proceeds received from the selective disposition of our properties and proceeds received from the redemptionrepayment of our preferred investments in related parties.note receivable. These borrowings may consist of single-property mortgages as well as mortgages cross-collateralized by a pool of properties. Such mortgages may be put in place either at the time we acquire a property or subsequent to our purchasing a property for cash. In addition, we may acquire properties that are subject to existing indebtedness where we choose to assume the existing mortgages. Generally, though not exclusively, we intend to seek to encumber our properties with debt, which will be on a non-recourse basis. This means that a lender’s rights on default will generally be limited to foreclosing on the property. However, we may, at our discretion, secure recourse financing or provide a guarantee to lenders if we believe this may result in more favorable terms. When we give a guaranty for a property owning entity, we will be responsible to the lender for the satisfaction of the indebtedness if it is not paid by the property owning entity.

We may also obtain lines of credit to be used to acquire properties or real estate-related assets. These lines of credit will be at prevailing market terms and will be repaid from proceeds from the sale or refinancing of properties, working capital or permanent financing. Our Sponsor or its affiliates may guarantee the lines of credit although they will not be obligated to do so. We expect that such properties may be purchased by our Sponsor’s affiliates on our behalf, in our name, in order to minimize the imposition of a transfer tax upon a transfer of such properties to us.

 

We have various agreements, including an advisory agreement, with the Advisor to pay certain fees in exchange for services performed by the Advisor and/or its affiliated entities. Additionally, our ability to secure financing and our real estate operations are dependent upon our Advisor and its affiliates to perform such services as provided in these agreements.

 

In addition to meeting working capital needs and distributions, if any, to our stockholders, our capital resources are used to make certain payments to our Advisor and its affiliates, including payments related to asset acquisition fees, development fees and leasing commissions, asset management fees, the reimbursement of acquisition-related costs, development feesacquisition related expenses to our Advisor and cost reimbursement, property management and leasing commissions, and asset management fee.fees. We also reimburse our Advisor and its affiliates for actual expenses it incurs for administrative and other services provided to us. Additionally, the Operating Partnership may be required to make distributions to Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor.Advisor, provided our shareholders.

 

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and our independent directors.

Additionally, we may be required to make distributions on the special general partner interests (“SLP Units”) in the Operating Partnership held by Lightstone SLP, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor.Advisor provided our stockholders have received a stated preferred return. In connection with the Company’sour initial public offering, Lightstone SLP, LLC purchased an aggregate of $30.0 million of SLP Units. These SLP Units, the purchase price of which will be repaid only after stockholders receive a stated preferred return and their net investment, entitle Lightstone SLP, LLC to a portion of any regular distributions made by the Operating Partnership. However, any future distributions on the SLP Units will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return.

 

During both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, distributions of $0.5 million and $1.5$1.0 million were declared and paid on the SLP units.

Development ActivitiesLower East Side Moxy Hotel

 

Lower East Side Moxy Hotel

OnIn December 3, 2018, we, through a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired three adjacent parcels of land located at 147-151 Bowery, in the Lower East Side neighborhood of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, from unaffiliated third parties for aggregate consideration of $56.5 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. Additionally, onin December 6, 2018, we, though a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired certain air rights located at 329 Broome Street, also in the Lower East Side neighborhood, of Manhattan in New York City from an unaffiliated third party for $2.4 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. The land and air rights were acquired for the development and construction of a 296-room Marriott Moxy hotel (the “Lowerthe Lower East Side Moxy Hotel”).Hotel. On June 3, 2021,we entered into a development agreement (the “Development Agreement”) with an affiliate of the Advisor (the “Moxy Lower East Side Developer”) pursuant to which the Lower East Side Moxy Developer is being paid a development fee equal to 3% of hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the development and construction of the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. The advisorAdvisor and its affiliates are also reimbursed for certain development-related costs attributable to the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. Additionally on June 3, 2021, we obtained construction financing for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. As of September 30, 2022, construction of theThe Lower East Side Moxy Hotel was substantially completeopened on October 27, 2022 and the hotel and twoall four of its five food and beverage venues opened in October 2022. The remaining food and beverage venues are currently expected to open byduring the endfourth quarter of 2022.

Moxy Construction Loans

 

On June 3, 2021, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, closed on a recourse construction loan facility (the “Moxy Senior Loan”) providing for up to $90.0 million of funds for the development, construction and certain pre-opening costs associated with the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. At closing, $35.6 million of proceeds were initially advanced under the Moxy Senior Loan, which were used to repay in full a then outstanding mortgage loan. The Moxy Senior Loan bears interest at LIBOR +plus 7.50%, subject to an 8.00%7.75% floor, and initially matures on June 3, 2024, with two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, the Moxy Senior Loan provides for a replacement benchmark rate for periods after June 30, 2023 in connection with the phase-out of LIBOR. The Moxy Senior Loan is collateralized by the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the outstanding principal balance of the Moxy Senior Loan was $64.6$90.0 million, the interest rate was 10.64% and12.72%. Additionally, we were required by the remaining availability underlender to deposit the facility$4.7 million of key money received from Marriott during the fourth quarter of 2022 into an escrow account (included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022), all of which was up to $25.4 million, which is expected to besubsequently used to fund the remaining construction and pre-opening costs for the project.project during the first quarter of 2023.

 

Simultaneously on June 3, 2021, we, through the same wholly owned subsidiary, also entered into a mezzanine construction loan facility (the “Moxy Junior Loan” and together with the Moxy Senior Loan, the “Moxy Construction Loans”) providing for up to $40.0 million of additional funds for the development, construction and certain pre-opening costs associated with the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. The Moxy Junior Loan bears interest at LIBOR +plus 13.50%, subject to a 14.00% floor (18.72% as of June 30, 2023), and initially matures on June 3, 2024, with two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, the Moxy Junior Loan provides for a replacement benchmark rate for periods after June 30, 2023 in connection with the phase-out of LIBOR. The Moxy Junior Loan is subordinate to the Moxy Senior loanLoan but also collateralized by the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel. We provided a principal guarantee of up to $7.0 million with respect to the Moxy Junior Loan. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Moxy Junior Loan was $40.0 million as it was fully drawn and the interest rate was 16.64%.million.

 

In connection with the Moxy Construction Loans, we provided certain completion and carry cost guarantees. Additionally, the Moxy Construction Loans provide for the lenders to trap excess cash flow, if any, generated from the operations of the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel until it achieves certain prescribed financial ratios for two consecutive quarters. To-date, the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel, which opened in October 2022 and therefore, is still in its ramp-up period, has not achieved any of the prescribed financial ratios.

We also entered into two interest rate cap agreements with notional amounts of $90.0 million and $40.0 million pursuant to which LIBOR through June 30, 2023 and its replacement rate thereafter is capped at 3.00% and 2.5%, respectively, through June 3, 2024. Furthermore, in connection with the Moxy Construction Loans, we paid $5.3 million of loan fees and expenses and accrued $1.1 million of loan exit fees which are due at the initial maturity date and are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of Septemberboth June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.

Exterior Street Project

On February 27, 2019, we, through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, acquired two adjacent parcels of land located at 355 and 399 Exterior Street in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City from unaffiliated third parties for an aggregate purchase price of $59.0 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. In September 2021, we subsequently acquired an additional adjacent parcel of land at cost from an affiliate of our Advisor for $1.0 million in order to achieve certain zoning compliance. The land parcels were acquired for the development of a multi-family residential property (the “Exterior Street Project”).2022.

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a $35.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Loan”) which commencing on October 10, 2020 bears interest at LIBOR + 2.25% (5.39% as of September 30, 2022) through its scheduled maturity date. The Exterior Street Loan requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balance due in full at its maturity date. The Exterior Street Loan was initially scheduled to mature on April 9, 2021 but has been further extended to November 24, 2022. Additionally, on December 21, 2021, the loan agreement was amended to provide an additional $7.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Supplemental Loan” and collectively with the Exterior Street Loan, the “Exterior Street Loans”) which bears interest at LIBOR + 2.50% (5.39% as of September 30, 2022) and requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balance due in full at its maturity date. The Exterior Street Loans are collateralized by the Exterior Street Project.

The following is a summary of the total amounts incurred and capitalized to development projects on the consolidated balance sheet for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel and the Exterior Street Project as of September 30, 2022:

Development Project   
Lower East Side Moxy Hotel $196,284 
Exterior Street Project  91,589 
Total $287,873 

To-date the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as other economic conditions and uncertainties have not had a significant impact on our development activities associated with either the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel or the Exterior Street Project. As discussed above, we have already obtained construction financing for the Lower East Side Moxy Hotel and the remaining availability under the facility is expected to be used to fund the remaining construction and pre-opening costs related to the project. However, with respect to our Exterior Street Project which is currently under development, we currently expect to seek construction financing to fund a substantial portion of its future development and construction costs. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as other economic conditions and uncertainties may (i) affect our ability to obtain construction financing, and/or (ii) cause delays or increase costs associated with building materials or construction services necessary for construction, which could adversely impact our ability to either ultimately commence and/or complete construction as planned, on budget or at all for the Exterior Street Project.

Although we currently believe our capital resources are sufficient to fund our expected development activities for the next 12 months, there can be no assurance we will be successful in obtaining construction financing at favorable terms, if at all.

Preferred Investments

 

We previously entered into agreements with various related party entities that provided for us to make preferred contributions pursuant to certain instruments (the “Preferred Investments”) that entitleentitled us to certain prescribed monthly preferred distributions at an annual rate of 12%.distributions. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we redeemed $8.5the remaining $6.0 million (including $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2022) of our East 11th Street Preferred Investment, which is now fully redeemed. As a result, as of September 30, 2022, we only have one remaining Preferred Investment, which is ourwas the 40 East End Avenue Preferred Investment with an outstanding balance of $6.0 million. The Preferred Investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities, recorded at cost and included in investments in related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

Notes Receivable

 

We have formed certain joint ventures (collectively, the “NR Joint Ventures”) between wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, the “NR Subsidiaries”) and affiliates of the Sponsor (the “NR Affiliates”) which have originated nonrecourse loans (collectively, the “Joint Venture Promissory Notes”) to unaffiliated third-party borrowers (collectively, the “Joint Venture Borrowers”).

 

The N/R Subsidiaries and NR Affiliates may have varying ownership interests in the N/R Joint Ventures, however; certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership serve as the manager and the sole decision-maker for each of the N/R Joint Ventures. We have determined that the NR Joint Ventures are VIEs and the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Since the NR Subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries, beginning on the applicable date of formation, we consolidated the operating results and financial condition of the NR Joint Ventures and accounted for the respective ownership interests of the NR Affiliates as noncontrolling interests.

 

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally provide for monthly interest at a prescribed variable rate, subject to a floor. In connection with the initial funding of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes, the NR Joint Ventures receive origination fees (ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%) based on the principal commitment under the loan and retain a portion of the loan proceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items (the “Loan Reserves”). The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are recorded in notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes generally have an initial term of one or two years and may provide for additional one-year extension options subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including the funding of additional Loan Reserves and payment of extension fees. The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are collateralized by either the membership interests of the Joint Venture Borrowers in the borrowing entity or the underlying real property being developed by the Joint Venture Borrower.

 

41

The Joint Venture Promissory Notes are recorded in notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The origination fees received are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are amortized into interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes. The Loan Reserves are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the Joint Venture Promissory Notes and are applied against the monthly interest due over the initial term.

On June 30, 2022, LSC 1543 7th LLC entered intoobtained a $31.3loan of up to $33.1 million loan (the “LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan”) which bears interest at SOFR + 3.50% (5.19%(8.64% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022)2023). The LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan is initially scheduled to mature on December 30, 2023, but may be further extended through December 30, 2024 and September 30,20, 2025, through the exercise of two extension options. The LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balance due at its maturity date and is collateralized by a nonrecourse loan originated by LSC 1543 7th LLC (the “LSC 1543 7th LLC Note Receivable”). See Note 5. On June 30, 2022, $28.6 million of the net proceeds from the LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan were temporarily funded to an affiliateNote Receivable. During the first quarter of our advisor and were subsequently transferred to us and then distributed to the members of2023, LSC 1543 7th LLC in July 2022,received a payment of which our 50% share was $14.3 million.

Exterior Street Project

In February 2019, we, through subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, acquired two adjacent parcels of land located at 355 and 399 Exterior Street in the Mott Haven neighborhood in the Bronx borough of New York City from unaffiliated third parties for an aggregate purchase price of $59.0 million, excluding closing and other acquisition related costs. In September 2021, we subsequently acquired an additional adjacent parcel of land at cost from an affiliate of the Advisor for $1.0 million in order to achieve certain zoning compliance. On these three land parcels we plan, subject to economic and local market conditions and regulations, to construct a proposed mixed-use multifamily residential and commercial retail property (the “Exterior Street Project”). In light of certain economic and local market conditions and regulations, we decided in the 2nd quarter of 2023 to pause active development and ceased capitalizing interest and real estate taxes. Through June 30, 2023, we have incurred and capitalized $95.7 million of costs related to the development of the Exterior Street Project.

On March 29, 2019, we obtained a $35.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Loan”) from a financial institution which, commencing on October 10, 2020, bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% through November 24, 2022. On December 21, 2021, the loan agreement was $29.9amended to provide an additional $7.0 million loan (the “Exterior Street Supplemental Loan” and collectively with the Exterior Street Loan, the “Exterior Street Loans”) which bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% through November 24, 2002. The Exterior Street Loans require monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding principal balances due in full at their maturity date. The Exterior Street Loans are collateralized by the Exterior Street Project. On November 22, 2022, we and the remaining availability underfinancial institution entered into an additional amendment to the facilityExterior Street Loans pursuant to which the interest rate on the Exterior Street Loans were adjusted to SOFR plus 2.60% (7.74% as of June 30, 2023) and their maturity dates were extended to November 24, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Exterior Street Loans was up to $1.4$42.0 million.

 

Distribution Reinvestment Program (“DRIP”)The Exterior Street Loan requires monthly interest-only payments with the outstanding balance due in full at its maturity date. The Exterior Street Loan is collateralized by the Exterior Street Project.

 

Our Exterior Street Project is currently under development and we expect to seek construction financing and/or a joint venture arrangement to fund a substantial portion of its future development and construction costs. Current economic conditions as well as other uncertainties may (i) affect our ability to obtain construction financing, and/or (ii) cause delays or increase costs associated with building materials or construction services necessary for construction, which could adversely impact our ability to either ultimately commence and/or complete construction as planned, on budget or at all for the Exterior Street Project.

Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of our contractual obligations outstanding over the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 2023.

Notes Payable

Margin Loan

We have access to a margin loan (the “Margin Loan”) from a financial institution that holds custody of certain of our marketable securities. The Margin Loan, which is due on demand, bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.85% (6.07% as of June 30, 2023) and is collateralized by the marketable securities in our account. The amounts available to us under the Margin Loan are at the discretion of the financial institution and not limited to the amount of collateral in our account. There were no amounts outstanding under the Margin Loan as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Line of Credit

We have a non-revolving credit facility (the “Line of Credit”) with a financial institution that provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $20.0 million, subject to a 55% loan-to-value ratio based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which matures on November 30, 2024 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% (6.57% as of June 30, 2023). Additionally, the Line of Credit provides for a replacement benchmark rate in connection with the phase-out of LIBOR, which is expected to be for periods after June 30, 2023. The Line of Credit is collateralized by an aggregate of 209,243 of Marco OP Units and Marco II OP Units and was guaranteed by PRO. As of June 30, 2023, the amount of borrowings available to be drawn under the Line of Credit was $13.3 million. No amounts were outstanding under the Line of Credit as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Debt Maturities

The Exterior Street Loans (outstanding aggregate principal balance of $42.0 million as of June 30, 2023) mature on November 24, 2023. We currently intend to seek to extend or refinance the Exterior Street Loans on or before their maturity date.

The LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan (outstanding principal balance of $21.5 million as of June 30, 2023) is scheduled to initially mature on December 30, 2023, but may be further extended through December 30, 2024 and September 20, 2025, through the exercise of two extension options. We currently intend to repay the LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan with the proceeds from the expected repayment of the LSC 1543 7th LLC Note Receivable, which has an outstanding principal balance of $35.0 million, or to seek to further extend the LSC 1543 7th LLC Loan pursuant to its first extension option on or before its scheduled maturity date.

The Moxy Construction Loans (outstanding aggregate principal balance of $130.0 million as of June 30, 2023) mature on June 3, 2024. We currently intend to refinance the Moxy Construction Loans on or before their initial maturity dates of June 3, 2024; however, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in such endeavors. If we are unable to refinance the Moxy Construction Loans on or before their initial maturity date, we will then seek to exercise the first of their two one-year extension options.

However, if we are unable to extend or refinance any of our maturing indebtedness at favorable terms, we will look to repay the then outstanding balance with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales. We have no additional significant maturities of mortgage debt over the next 12 months from the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Distributions

Common Shares

On May 10, 2023, the distribution reinvestment program (“DRIP”) provides our shareholders with an opportunity to purchase additionalfor the three-month period ending June 30, 2023 of $3.8 million was paid in full using a combination of cash and approximately 7,000 shares of our common stock at a discount by reinvesting distributions. Underissued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment program (“DRIP”), at a shareholder may acquire, from time to time, additional sharesdiscounted price of our common stock by reinvesting cash distributions payable by us to such shareholder, without incurring any brokerage commission, fees or service charges.

The DRIP had been suspended since 2015 until our DRIP Registration Statement on Form S-3D was filed and became effective as amended and restated, under the Securities Act of 1933 on October 25, 2018.

Pursuant to the DRIP following its reactivation, our stockholders who elect to participate may invest all or a portion of the cash distributions that we pay them on shares of our common stock in additional shares of our common stock without paying any fees or commissions. The purchase price for shares under the DRIP will be$11.58 per share, equal to 95% of our most current estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share (“NAVof $12.19 as of September 30, 2022.

On August 11, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized and we declared a distribution of $0.0875 per Share”), as determinedshare for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023. The quarterly distribution is the pro rata equivalent of an annual distribution of $0.35 per share, or an annualized rate of 3.5% assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The distribution will be paid on or about the 15th day of the month following the quarter-end to stockholders of record at the close of business on the last day of the quarter-end. The stockholders have an option to elect the receipt of shares under our DRIP.

SLP Units

Because the quarterly distribution declared by the Board of Directors and reported by us from timeon Common Shares for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2023 does not equate to time. On December 16, 2021,at least an annualized rate of 7.0%, assuming a purchase price of $10.00 per share, no distributions were declared on the SLP Units. Any future distributions on the SLP Units will always be subordinated until stockholders receive a stated preferred return.

Future distributions, if any, declared will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors determinedbased on their analysis of our NAV per Shareperformance over the previous periods and expectations of $11.75,performance for future periods. The Board of Directors will consider various factors in its determination, including but not limited to, the sources and availability of capital, operating and interest expenses, our ability to refinance near-term debt, as well as the IRS’s annual distribution requirement that REITs distribute no less than 90% of September 30, 2021, which resulted in a purchase price for shares under the DRIPtheir taxable income. We cannot assure that any future distributions will be made or that we will maintain any particular level of $11.16 per share. As of September 30, 2022, 9.9 million shares remain available for issuance under our DRIP. distributions that we have previously established or may establish.

 

The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the DRIP for any reason without cause by providing written notice of termination of the DRIP to all participants.

Share Repurchase ProgramSRP

 

Our share repurchase program (the “SRP”) may provide our stockholders with limited, interim liquidity by enabling them to sell their shares of common stock back to us, subject to restrictions.

 

On March 25, 2020, the Board of Directors amended the SRP to remove stockholder notice requirements and also approved the suspension of all redemptions effective immediately.redemptions.

Effective March 15, 2021 and May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors partially reopened the SRP to allow, subject to various conditions as set forth below, for redemptions submitted in connection with a stockholder’s death and hardship, respectively, and set the price for all such purchases to our current NAVestimated net asset value per Share,share of common stock, as determined by the Board of Directors and reported by us from time to time. Deaths that occurred subsequent to January 1, 2020 were eligible for consideration, subject to certain conditions. Beginning January 1, 2022, requests for redemptions in connection with a stockholder’s death must be submitted and received by us within one year of the stockholder’s date of death for consideration.

At the above noted dates, the Board of Directors established that on an annual basis, we would not redeem in excess of 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year for either death or hardship redemptions, respectively. Additionally, redemption requests generally would be processed on a quarterly basis and would be subject to pro ration if either type of redemption requests exceeded the annual limitation.

On March 18, 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the annual threshold for death redemptions from up to 0.5% to 1.0%.

 

At the above noted dates, the Board of Directors established that on an annual basis, we would not redeem in excess of 1.0% and 0.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the end of the preceding year for either death or hardship redemptions, respectively. Additionally, redemption requests are expected to be processed on a quarterly basis and would be subject to pro ration if either type of redemption requests exceeded the annual limitation.

Debt Maturities

The Exterior Street Loans (outstanding principal balance of $42.0 million as of September 30, 2022) mature on November 24, 2022. We currently intend to extend or refinance the Exterior Street Loans on or before their maturity date.

We have no additional significant maturities of mortgage debt over the next 12 months.

 

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

The historical accounting convention used for 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, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

 

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition.

 

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

 

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

 

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds, and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

 

3846

 

 

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to straight line rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

 

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

 

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

 

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

Notes:

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

(2)Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.
(3)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable equity securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
(4)(2)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.
(5)(3)Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies.revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

The table below presents our cumulative distributions paid and cumulative FFO attributable to the Company’sour common shares:

 

  From inception through
September 30,
2022
 
FFO attributable to Company’s common shares $255,719 
Distributions paid $274,906 

On October 15, 2022, the distribution for the three-month period ending September 30, 2022 of $3.8 million was paid in full using a combination of cash and approximately 7,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s DRIP, at a discounted price of $11.16 per share, equal to 95% of the Company’s most current estimated net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $11.75 as of September 30, 2021.

The amount of distributions paid to our stockholders in the future will be determined by our Board and is dependent on a number of factors, including funds available for payment of dividends, our financial condition, capital expenditure requirements and annual distribution requirements needed to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. There were no material weaknesses identified in the evaluation, and therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
