Note 1 - Organization and Business
Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. (the “Company”), is a Maryland corporation formed on February 5, 2009. The Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2011. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Hartman Short Term Income Properties XX, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.
On July 19, 2018, we entered into a limited liability company agreement with our affiliates Hartman Income REIT, Inc. (“HIREIT”), Hartman Short Term Income Properties XIX, Inc. (“Hartman XIX”) and Hartman vREIT XXI, Inc. (“vREIT XXI”) to form Hartman SPE, LLC ("SPE LLC"), a special purpose entity.
On October 1, 2018, SPE LLC, as borrower, and Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company entered into a term loan agreement pursuant to which the lender made a term loan to SPE LLC in the principal amount of $259,000,000.
Contemporaneously therewith and together with our affiliates HIREIT, Hartman XIX and vREIT XXI, we contributed a total of 39 commercial real estate properties ("Properties") to SPE, LLC, subject to the then existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Properties, in exchange for membership interests in SPE LLC. Proceeds of the Loan were immediately used to extinguish the existing mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Properties.
Substantially all of our business is conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership and SPE LLC. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hartman XX REIT GP LLC, a Texas limited liability company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hartman SPE Management, LLC ("SPE Management") is the manager of SPE LLC. Our single member interests in our limited liability company subsidiaries are owned by the Operating Partnership or its wholly owned subsidiaries.
On July 21, 2017, the Company and Hartman XIX, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “XIX Merger Agreement”). On July 21, 2017, as subsequently modified on May 8, 2018, the Company, the Operating Partnership, HIREIT and Hartman Income REIT Operating Partnership LP, the operating partnership of HIREIT, (“HIROP”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “HIREIT Merger Agreement,” and together with the XIX Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”).
On May 14, 2020, the Merger Agreements were approved by the respective company shareholders. The effective date of the Mergers for financial reporting is July 1, 2020.
Prior to July 1, 2020 and subject to certain restrictions and limitations, Hartman Advisors LLC ("Advisor") was responsible for managing our affairs on a day-to-day basis and for identifying and making acquisitions and investments on our behalf pursuant to an advisory agreement. Management of the Company’s properties and the Properties, is provided pursuant to property management agreements with Hartman Income REIT Management, Inc. (the "Property Manager"), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of HIREIT and effective July 1, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary. Effective with the Mergers and the acquisition of the 70% interest of Advisor not acquired as part of the Mergers, we are a self advised and self-managed REIT.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company owned 44 and 43 commercial properties comprising approximately 6.8 and 6.7 million square feet plus 4 and 3 pad sites and 2 and 0 land developments, all located in Texas. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company owned 15 properties located in Richardson, Arlington and Dallas, Texas, 26 and 25 properties located in Houston, Texas and 3 properties located in San Antonio, Texas.
Previously, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company established a share redemption program (the "Redemption Plan"), which permitted stockholders to sell their shares back to the Company, subject to certain significant conditions and limitations. On May 31, 2018, the Board voted to suspend the Redemption Plan. On July 28, 2020, the Board reopened the Redemption Plan for the death and disability or financial hardship of a shareholder. On October 1, 2020, the Board approved by unanimous written consent to further reopen the Redemption Plan, subject to certain significant conditions and limitations for additional shareholders.
On October 1, 2020, the Board approved a new compensation plan for independent directors of the Board which was effective July 1, 2020. The plan revised compensation for independent directors with respect to both cash and annual equity

compensation and included a one-time award of $100,000 in stock to current and former directors who participated in the mergers of HIREIT and Hartman XIX with and into the Company.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, on a basis consistent with the annual audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments and the impact of the Company's restatement of its previously issued financial statements, as described below), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2021, and the results of consolidated operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.
The consolidated financial statements herein are condensed and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2020.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, and Hartman SPE, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In the Company's Annual Report (Amendment No.1) on Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and all quarterly periods of 2020 and 2019 should not be relied upon due adjustments identified relating to accounts payable and accrued expenses. As such, the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2020 contained in the preceding consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes reflect these previously restated amounts. See Note 3 - Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets include all cash and liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of demand deposits at commercial banks. We maintain accounts which may from time to time exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in these accounts and believe that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk and regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a bank overdraft of $743,000. The overdraft is recorded as a liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consists of amounts escrowed for future real estate taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and debt service, as required by certain of our mortgage debt agreements. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a restricted cash balance of $15,524,000 and $24,176,000, respectively.
Financial Instruments
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accrued rent and accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and balances due to/due from related parties, as well as related party notes receivable. The Company considers the carrying value of these financial instruments to approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based on relevant information available as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's leases are accounted for as operating leases. Certain leases provide for tenant occupancy during periods for which no rent is due and/or for increases or decreases in the minimum lease payments over the terms of the leases. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the individual leases. Revenue recognition under a lease begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space. When the Company acquires a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. The Company's accrued rents are included in accrued rent and accounts receivable, net. The Company defers the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Cost recoveries from tenants are included in the tenant reimbursement and other revenues line item in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the related costs are incurred.
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASU 2014-9”) which amends the guidance for revenue recognition to eliminate the industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. The Company adopted ASU 2014-9 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from leasing activities, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-9. The Company’s tenant reimbursements and other revenue is comprised of tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and operating expenses. Reimbursements from real estate taxes and certain other expenses are also excluded from of ASU 2014-9. Additionally, the Company’s property dispositions have historically been cash sales with no contingencies and no future involvement in the property, as a result, the new guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s real estate transactions, however, the Company will account future sales of real estate properties in accordance with requirements of ASU 2014-9.
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
Upon the acquisition of real properties, it is the Company’s policy to allocate the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and buildings, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, other value of in-place leases and leasehold improvements and value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The Company utilizes internal valuation methods to determine the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings).
The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values, including below-market renewal options for which renewal has been determined to be reasonably assured, are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (b) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases and below-market renewal options, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease and renewal option values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment to rental revenues over the remaining expected terms of the respective leases.
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease, and tenant relationships. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated based on independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in intangible lease assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. Customer relationships are valued based on expected renewal of a lease or the likelihood of obtaining a particular tenant for other locations. These intangibles are included in real estate assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases.
The determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net income (loss).
Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management determines whether an entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.
Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations or capital activities.
Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining if we have a controlling financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.
Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned above, to determine if the consolidation or equity method treatment remains appropriate.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 5 to 39 years for buildings and improvements. Tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease. In-place leases are amortized using the straight-line method over the weighted average years’ remaining calculated on terms of all of the leases in-place when acquired.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value measures are classified into a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require a reporting entity to
develop its own assumptions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following valuation techniques:
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Market approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving
identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Cost approach: Amount required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Income approach: Techniques used to convert future amounts to a single amount based on market
expectations (including present-value, option-pricing, and excess-earnings models).
The Company’s estimates of fair value were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring fair value measurements:
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accrued rent and accounts receivable, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. For our disclosure of debt instrument fair value in Note 8, we use a discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).
Nonrecurring fair value measurements:
Property Impairments
The Company reviews its real estate assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. Our estimated fair values are determined by utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, or appraisals (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy).
Impairment
The Company reviews its real estate assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets, including accrued rental income, may not be recoverable through operations. The Company determines whether an impairment in value has occurred by comparing the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), including the estimated residual value of the property, with the carrying cost of the property. If impairment is indicated, a loss will be recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company concluded there were no such events or changes in circumstances requiring review of the Company's real estate assets.
Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable, net
Accrued rent and accounts receivable includes base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rent and accounts receivable is determined based upon customer credit-worthiness (including expected recovery of our claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends.
Deferred Leasing Commission Costs
Leasing commissions are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease agreements.
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Goodwill
GAAP requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or circumstances occur indicating goodwill might be impaired. The Company applies a one-step quantitative test to determine if the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, the Company will record a goodwill impairment equal to such excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. NaN goodwill impairment has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable to a parent. The ownership interests not held by the parent are considered noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, the Company has reported noncontrolling interests in equity on the consolidated balance sheets but separate from the Company's equity. On the consolidated statements of operations, subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amount, including both the amount attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, with regard to issuance of stock in payment of services. ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The compensation cost is measured based on the estimated grant date fair value, as of the grant date of the Company’s common stock, of the equity or liability instruments issued. Stock-based compensation expense are recorded over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and will continue to operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred net (loss) income of $(6,982,000) and $1,954,000, respectively. The Company formed a taxable REIT subsidiary which may generate future taxable income which may offset by the net loss carry forward. The Company considers that any deferred tax benefit and corresponding deferred tax asset which may be recorded in light of the net loss carry forward would be properly offset by an equal valuation allowance. Accordingly, no deferred tax benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position only if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and is of the opinion that material positions taken by the Company would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a liability related to uncertain tax positions.
Income (loss) Per Share
The computations of basic and diluted income per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include preferred shares that are convertible into the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 0 shares issuable in connection
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
with these potentially dilutive securities. These potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computations of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 because no shares are issuable.
Concentration of Risk
The geographic concentration of the Company’s real estate assets makes it susceptible to adverse economic developments in the State of Texas. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, relocation of businesses, increased competition or any other changes, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Going Concern Evaluation
Pursuant to ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” management is required to evaluate the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The Hartman SPE, LLC loan agreement (the “SASB Loan”) had an initial maturity date of October 9, 2020. The SASB Loan provides for 3 successive one-year maturity date extensions. On October 9, 2020, SPE LLC executed a maturity date extension agreement to extend the maturity date to October 9, 2021.
The SASB Loan requires that SPE LLC have a debt yield, as defined, greater than or equal to 12.50%. The first SASB Loan extension was completed on the basis that the debt yield as of June 30, 2020 was 13.25%. Debt yield is calculated by dividing annual net operating income by debt. The second one-year SASB Loan extension is within one year of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Uncertainty as to the debt yield calculation as of June 30, 2021 and the Company's ability to exercise the next remaining SASB Loan extension option, require management to conclude, in accordance with guidance provided by ASU 2014-15, that there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements solely on the basis of the uncertainty regarding the loan maturity extension of the SASB Loan. Management believes that SPE LLC will be able to extend the maturity date for the next one year period which will mitigate the maturity date issue.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method such that we applied the standard as of the adoption date. The Company adopted the new standard using the practical expedient package which allowed the Company, as both the lessor and lessee to 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has a ground lease for a parking lot located adjacent to the property at 601 Sawyer, Houston, Texas. The parking lot lease agreement has been renewed and now expires at the end of September 2025. The Sawyer property is included in the Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Lease payments under the parking lot lease agreement are $3,500 per month through September 30, 2020 and $4,000 per month from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025. As of March 31, 2021, there are 54 monthly payments remaining under the lease agreement for a total of $216,000.
The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. In connection with the new revenue guidance (ASC 606), the new revenue standard will apply to other components of revenue deemed to be non-lease components, such as
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
reimbursement for certain expenses which are based on usage. Under the new guidance, we will continue to recognize the lease components of lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as we do under prior guidance. However, we would recognize these non-lease components under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, the total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance. This does not result in a difference from how the Company has historically recognized revenue for these lease and non-lease components.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) :Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The updated guidance requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This is different from the current guidance as this will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after January 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements when adopted.
In March 2020, issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The standard is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity can elect to apply the amendments as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to that date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements when adopted.
Note 3 — Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements
Restatement background and explanation
In connection with the preparation and audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded several material adjustments which affected the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Asset management and acquisition fees are captioned as such in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Effective July 1, 2020, where HIREIT fees charged to Hartman XX are now eliminated upon consolidation.
Acquisition of Hartman XIX and HIREIT
Effective July 1, 2020, in connection with the Mergers, the Company acquired interests in (i) 2 commercial land developments in progress and (ii) a 26.99% interest in SPE LLC from Hartman XIX.
As of the date of the Mergers, there were 5,538,305 shares of Hartman XIX preferred stock and 100 common shares issued and outstanding, which converted to 7,343,511 shares of Company stock, resulting in aggregate merger consideration of $79,480,000.
Effective July 1, 2020, in connection with the Mergers, the Company acquired interests in (i) 1 commercial real estate property, (ii) 1 pad site development in progress, (iii) a 34.38% member interest in SPE LLC, (iv) the Property Manager and (v) a 30% interest in Advisor from HIREIT.
As of the date of the Mergers, there were 12,378,718 shares of HIREIT common stock issued and outstanding and 1,214,197 HIROP OP units, which converted to 9,525,691 shares of Company stock and 913,346 OP units of Hartman XX Operating Partnership units ("XX OP units"); resulting in merger consideration of $112,994,000. Concurrently with the Mergers, the Company acquired the remaining 70% interest in Advisors owned by Allen Hartman in exchange for 602,842 XX OP units with a fair value of $6,525,000. See Note 12 for additional information. Aggregate consideration for HIREIT totals $119,519,000.
After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to ASC 805, the Company is considered the “legal acquirer” because the Company is issuing common stock to HIREIT and Hartman XIX stockholders, and also due to various factors including that the Company’s stockholders immediately preceding the Merger hold the largest portion of the voting rights in the Company immediately after the Merger.
The value of the Company’s common shares and Hartman XX Operating Partnership units is presented based on estimated fair value determined by the the Company which is $10.82 per common share and OP unit.

Note 8 — Notes Payable
The Operating Partnership is a party to 4, cross-collateralized, term loan agreements with an insurance company. The term loans are secured by the Richardson Heights Property, the Cooper Street Property, the Bent Tree Green Property and the Mitchelldale Property. The loans require monthly payments of principal and interest due and payable on the first day of each month. Monthly payments are based on a 27-year loan amortization. Each of the loan agreements are subject to customary covenants, representations and warranties which must be maintained during the term of the loan agreements. Each of the loan agreements provides for a fixed interest rate of 4.61%. Each of the loan agreements are secured by a deed of trust, assignment of licenses, permits and contracts, assignment and subordination of the management agreements and assignment of rents. The terms of the security instruments provide for the cross collateralization/cross default of the each of the loans. The outstanding balance of the 4 loans was $41,822,000 and $42,035,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
On October 1, 2018, the Company through SPE LLC and Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company entered into a $259,000,000 term loan agreement (the "SASB Loan". The Company together with its affiliates HIREIT, Hartman XIX and vREIT XXI,

Note 10 — Income Taxes
Federal income taxes are not provided for because we qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and because we have distributed and intend to continue to distribute all of our taxable income to our stockholders. Our stockholders include their proportionate taxable income in their individual tax returns. As a REIT, we must distribute at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income to our stockholders and meet certain income sources and investment restriction requirements. In addition, REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 have not been examined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2015 may be examined on or before September 15, 2021.
The Company has formed a taxable REIT subsidiary which may generate future taxable income, which may be offset by the net loss carry forward. The Company considers that any deferred tax benefit and corresponding deferred tax asset which
HARTMAN SHORT TERM INCOME PROPERTIES XX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
may be recorded in light of the net loss carry forward would be properly offset by an equal valuation allowance. Accordingly, 0 deferred tax benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the financial effects of a tax position only if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the tax position will not be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and is of the opinion that material positions taken by the Company would more likely than not be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a liability related to uncertain tax positions.
Taxable income (loss) differs from net income (loss) for financial reporting purposes principally due to differences in the timing of recognition of interest, real estate taxes, depreciation and amortization and rental revenue.
Note 11 — Real Estate Held for Development
The Company’s investment in real estate assets held for development consists of an approximately 17-acres land parcel located in Fort Worth, Texas, currently being developed, a 10-acre land development located in Grand Prairie, Texas, to be developed and which was previously held for disposition by Hartman XIX, and a 1 pad site development in progress acquired from HIREIT.

Litigation

Contingencies
During February 2021, the state of Texas experienced a severe winter storm which resulted in power outages and electrical grid failures across the state. Wholesale prices for electricity increased significantly during this period. As a result, the Company experienced a substantial increase in electricity charges for a number of our properties during the month of and after the storm. The full impact of the winter storm on our electricity expense is still being assessed as we have not yet received all billings for the periods affected. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred $8,905,000 of electricity expense compared to $1,491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. On February 21, 2021 the Public Utility Commission of Texas issued an emergency order immediately suspending electricity disconnections for non-payment until further notice. It is currently unknown if any relief will be granted under future legislation enacted by the Texas state government or if the increase in electricity rates will be subject to litigation. It is possible these circumstances may occur.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) that are not historical facts (including statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions, or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events on our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.
Forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
| | | | | |
• | the fact that we have had a net loss for each annual period since our inception; |
• | the risk that the pending Mergers will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all; |
• | the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreements; |
• | the failure to satisfy the conditions to completion of the pending Mergers; |
• | risks related to disruption of management’s attention from the ongoing business operations due to the pending Mergers; |
• | the effect of the announcement of the pending Mergers on our operating results and business generally; |
• | the outcome of any legal proceedings relating to the pending Mergers; |
• | the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year or forego an opportunity to ensure REIT status; |
• | uncertainties related to the national economy, the real estate industry in general and in our specific markets; |
• | legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to laws governing REITS; |
• | construction costs that may exceed estimates or construction delays; |
• | increases in interest rates; |
• | availability of credit or significant disruption in the credit markets; |
• | litigation risks; |
• | risks inherent to the real estate business, including tenant defaults, potential liability related to environmental matters and the lack of liquidity of real estate investments; |
• | inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases at our properties; |
• | inability to generate sufficient cash flows due to market conditions, competition, uninsured losses, changes in tax or other applicable laws; |
• | the continuing adverse impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on the U.S.and Texas economies and our financial condition and results of operations; |
• | the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flow; |
• | the fact that we pay fees and expenses to our advisor and its affiliates that were not negotiated on an arm’s length basis and the fact that the payment of these fees and expenses increases the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us; |
• | our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to pay distributions to our stockholders; |
• | our ability to retain our executive officers and other key personnel of our advisor and other affiliates of our advisor; and |
| | | | | |
• | changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. |
The forward-looking statements should be read in light of these factors and the factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021, as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021 (referred to herein as our Annual Report).
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim consolidated financial information.
Overview
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on February 5, 2009 to invest in and operate real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic basis. We may acquire a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, and other real properties. These properties may be existing, income-producing properties, newly constructed properties or properties under development or construction. In particular, we focus on acquiring properties with significant possibilities for short-term capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning or those located in markets with high growth potential. We also may invest in real estate-related securities and, to the extent that our advisor determines that it is advantageous, we may invest in mortgage loans.
On February 9, 2010, we commenced our initial public offering of up to $250,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $10 per share and up to $23,750,000 in shares of common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. On April 25, 2013, we terminated our initial public offering. As of the termination of our initial public offering on April 25, 2013, we had accepted subscriptions for and issued shares of our common stock, including shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross offering proceeds of $43,943,731.
On July 16, 2013, we commenced our follow-on public offering, or our “follow-on offering,” of up to $200,000,000 in shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $10.00 per share and up to $19,000,000 in shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. Effective March 31, 2016, we terminated the offer and sale of our common shares to the public in our follow-on offering. Effective July 16, 2016, we terminated the sale of additional shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. As of March 31, 2021, we had accepted subscriptions for, and issued shares of our common stock in our follow-on offering, including shares of our common stock issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $181,800,895.
As of March 31, 2021 we owned 44 commercial real properties comprising approximately 6.8 million square feet plus four pad sites, all located in Texas.
The SASB Loan outstanding as of March 31, 2021 has a maturity date of October 9, 2021, which is within one year of the date that this Quarterly Report was available to be issued. Management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statement due to the uncertainty regarding the SASB Loan maturity, as set forth in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern.”
Without limiting the foregoing, we believe that we will have sufficient capital to meet our existing debt service and other operating obligations for the next year and that we have adequate resources to fund our cash needs. However, our operations are subject to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to, changes in national economic conditions, the restricted availability of financing, changes in demographic trends and interest rates and declining real estate valuations. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will meet our investment objectives or that the risks described above will not have an adverse effect on our properties or results of operations.
We operate under the direction of our board of directors, the members of which are accountable to us and our stockholders. Effective July 1, 2020, we are internally managed by Hartman Advisors, LLC. Effective July 1, 2020, our properties are managed by our subsidiary, Hartman Income REIT Management, Inc. Our property manager is responsible for operating, leasing and maintaining our properties. The Company is now internally advised and managed.
Mergers
On July 21, 2017, we entered into (i) an agreement and plan of merger (the “XIX Merger Agreement”) between us and Short Term Income Properties XIX, Inc. (“Hartman XIX”), and (ii) an agreement and plan of merger (the “HIREIT Merger Agreement,” and together with the XIX Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) by and among us, our operating partnership, Hartman Income REIT, Inc. (“HIREIT”), and Hartman Income REIT Operating Partnership LP, the operating partnership of HIREIT (“HIREIT Operating Partnership”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the XIX Merger Agreement, Hartman XIX merged with and into us, with our company surviving the merger (the “Hartman XIX Merger”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the HIREIT Merger Agreement, (i) HIREIT merged with and into us, with our company surviving the merger (the “HIREIT Merger,” and together with the Hartman XIX Merger, the “REIT Mergers”), and (ii) HIREIT Operating Partnership merged with and into our operating partnership, with our operating partnership surviving the merger (the “Partnership Merger,” and together with the REIT Mergers, the “Mergers”).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the XIX Merger Agreement, (i) each share of common stock of Hartman XIX (the “XIX Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the XIX Merger Agreement) was automatically canceled and retired and converted into the right to receive 9,171.98 shares of our common stock, (ii) each share of 8% cumulative preferred stock of Hartman XIX issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and retired and converted into the right to receive 1.238477 shares of our common stock, and (iii) each share of 9% cumulative preferred stock of Hartman XIX issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and retired and converted into the right to receive 1.238477 shares of our common stock.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the HIREIT Merger Agreement, (a) in connection with the HIREIT Merger, (i) each share of common stock of HIREIT (the “HIREIT Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the REIT Merger Effective Time (as defined in the HIREIT Merger Agreement) was automatically cancelled and retired and converted into the right to receive 0.752222 shares of our common stock, and (ii) as provided in the HIREIT Merger Agreement, as amended May 8, 2018, each share of subordinate common stock of HIREIT was automatically cancelled and retired and converted into the right to receive 0.863235 shares of our common stock, and (b) in connection with the Partnership Merger, each unit of limited partnership interest in HIREIT Operating Partnership (“HIREIT OP Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time (as defined in the HIREIT Merger Agreement) (other than any HIREIT OP Units held by HIREIT) was automatically cancelled and retired and converted into the right to receive 0.752222 shares validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable units of limited partnership interests in our operating partnership.
On May 14, 2020, the Merger Agreements were approved by the respective company shareholders. The effective date of the Mergers for financial reporting is July 1, 2020.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic, has caused and continues to cause significant disruptions to the United States and the Texas economy. The effects of COVID-19 and other adverse public health developments continue to effect and, in some instances, have materially affected the operational and financial viability of several our tenants.
We continue to carefully monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. We are following guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and orders issued by the State of Texas and local governments where we operate. We have taken steps to safeguard our business and personnel from COVID-19, including among other initiatives, implementing non-essential travel restrictions and facilitating telecommuting arrangements for our personnel.
We are working closely with our tenants to facilitate their on-going operations or re-opening of their operations, safely and in accordance with guidelines issued by state and local governments. When we have learned of a confirmed case of COVID-19 involving an individual known to have been in one of our properties, we have promptly taken steps in cooperation with our tenants and vendors to disinfect and sanitize the affected areas and all common areas in the affected building or property.
To date, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial condition has been moderate. Substantially all our revenue is generated through the receipt of rental and other tenant reimbursement payments from our tenants. Tenant collections by property type, beginning in April, are presented in the table below. Tenant collections have met or exceeded our expectations given the economic disruption of the local economies in which our tenants operate. We have adequate capital
reserves for on-going commission costs associated with new and renewal leases as well as tenant improvements and other capital costs.
The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition will however depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate the impact and effects of the pandemic, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” for a discussion of the potential adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Impact of Severe Winter Weather
During February 2021, the state of Texas experienced a severe winter storm which resulted in power outages and electrical grid failures across the state. Wholesale prices for electricity increased significantly during this period. As a result, the Company experienced a substantial increase in electricity charges for a number of our properties during the month of and after the storm. The full impact of the winter storm on our electricity expense is still being assessed as we have not yet received all billings for the periods affected. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company has incurred $8,905,000 of electricity expense compared to $1,491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. On February 21, 2021 the Public Utility Commission of Texas issued an emergency order immediately suspending electricity disconnections for non-payment until further notice. It is currently unknown if any relief will be granted under future legislation enacted by the Texas state government or if the increase in electricity rates will be subject to litigation. It is possible these circumstances may occur.
Investment Objectives and Strategy: Hartman Advantage
Our primary investment objectives are to:
| | | | | |
• | realize growth in the value of our investments; |
• | preserve, protect and return stockholders’ capital contributions; and |
• | grow net cash from operations and pay regular cash distributions to our stockholders. |
We cannot assure our stockholders that we will achieve these objectives.
The cornerstone of our investment strategy is our advisor’s discipline in acquiring a portfolio of real estate properties, specifically properties that are located in Texas, that offer a blend of current and potential income based on in place occupancy plus relatively significant potential for growth in income and value from re-tenanting; repositioning or redevelopment. We refer to this strategy as “value add” or the “Hartman Advantage.”
We rely upon the value add or Hartman Advantage strategy to evaluate numerous potential commercial real estate acquisition and investment opportunities per completed acquisition or investment.
Our board of directors continually evaluates potential liquidity events to maximize the total potential return to our stockholders, including, but not limited to, a listing of our shares of common stock on a national securities exchange. However, our board of directors has not made a decision to pursue any specific liquidity event, and there can be no assurance that we will complete a liquidity event on the terms described above, or at all.
We do not anticipate that there will be any market for our shares of common stock unless they are listed on a national securities exchange. In the event that our shares of common stock are not listed or traded on an established securities exchange prior to the tenth anniversary of the termination of our initial public offering, which terminated on April 25, 2013, our charter requires that the board of directors must seek the approval of our stockholders of a plan to liquidate our assets, unless the board of directors has obtained the approval of our stockholders (1) to defer the liquidation of our assets or (2) of an alternate strategy.
We believe that we have sufficient capital to meet our existing debt service and other operating obligations for the next year and that we have adequate resources to fund our cash needs. However, our operations are subject to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to, changes in national economic conditions, the restricted availability of financing, changes in demographic trends and interest rates and declining real estate valuations. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that we will meet our investment objectives or that the risks described above will not have an adverse effect on our properties or results of operations.
We elected under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2011. As a REIT we generally are not subject to federal income tax on income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year after the year in which we initially elected to be treated as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year in which our qualification is denied. Such an event could materially and adversely affect our net income. However, we believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner that will enable us to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and we intend to operate so as to remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our results of operations and financial condition, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes, require us to make estimates and assumptions that are subject to management’s evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, changing capital market conditions and other factors related to the ongoing viability of our customers. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021, and as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021. See also Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our significant accounting policies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2021 versus March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we owned 44 and 43 commercial properties comprising approximately 6.8 and 6.7 million square feet plus four and three pad sites and two and none land developments, all located in Texas. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we owned 15 properties located in Richardson, Arlington, and Dallas, Texas, 26 and 25 properties located in Houston, Texas and three properties located in San Antonio, Texas.
We define same store ("Same Store") properties as 43 commercial properties, which we owned for the entirety of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Net operating income (property revenues minus property expenses), or “NOI,” is the measure used by management to assess property performance. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or “GAAP,” and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the operating results of our real estate. Set forth below is a reconciliation of NOI to net loss.

Revenues - The primary source of our revenue is rental revenues and tenant reimbursements. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had total rental revenues and tenant reimbursements of $22,933,000 and $23,139,000, respectively.
Property operating expenses - Property operating expenses consist of contract services, repairs and maintenance, utilities and management fees and property level administrative expenses including bad debt expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we had property operating expenses of $14,718,000 and $6,945,000, respectively. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily due to the increase in electricity expenses as a direct result of the severe winter storm during February 2021. The storm resulted in an estimated $7,265,000 increase in electric utility expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Asset management fees - We pay asset management fees to our advisor in connection with the management of our properties. With the merger of HIREIT, and as a result the Advisors, with the Company, the asset management fee is eliminated starting on July 1, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, same store asset management fees incurred to our advisor were $0 and $440,000, respectively.
Real estate taxes and insurance - Same store real estate taxes and insurance for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $3,523,000 and $3,170,000, respectively, The increase is attributable to an increase in insurance premium for the insurance policy fiscal year 2020.
Depreciation and amortization - Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $6,661,000 and $6,912,000, respectively. Decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to impairments recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020, which decreased the depreciable base of those assets as of December 31, 2020.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses consist primarily of audit fees, transfer agent fees, other professional fees, and independent director compensation. Same store general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,339,000 and $1,177,000, respectively.
Interest expense - Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were $2,034,000 and $3,018,000, respectively, The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to decrease in interest rate on the Company's SASB Loan. The loan had an interest rate of 1.95% and 2.79% as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net (loss) income - We generated a net (loss) income of $(6,982,000) and $1,954,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The main driver was the increase in property operating expenses as a result of the winter storm in February 2021, as explained in the operating expense section above.
Funds From Operations and Modified Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, which we believe is an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a real estate investment trust, or REIT in conjunction with net income. FFO is used by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.
We define FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment write-downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.
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, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (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; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring 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. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.
Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses. We do not currently exclude amortization of above and below market leases, fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are acquired and 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 other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. Accordingly, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. MFFO that excludes such costs and expenses would only be comparable to non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activities and have similar operating characteristics to us. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of derivatives and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. 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. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by the advisor if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our public offering, and therefore such fees and expenses will 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.
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, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above and below market leases and liabilities (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; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring 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. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.
Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. FFO and MFFO are not necessarily 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 an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of its liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. MFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete and net asset value is disclosed. FFO and MFFO are not useful measures in evaluating net asset value because impairments are taken into account in determining net asset value but not in determining FFO or MFFO.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-listed REIT industry and as a result we may have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.
The table below summarizes our calculation of FFO and MFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 including a reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial performance measures to our net (loss) income, in thousands.

(1)Distributions are paid on a monthly basis. Distributions for all record dates of a given month are paid approximately 20 days following the end of such month.
(2)Distributions accrued for the period from December 27, 2010 through December 31, 2010 were paid on January 20, 2011, the date we first paid a distribution.
(3)Amount of distributions paid in shares of common stock pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Effective July 16, 2016, we terminated the sale of additional shares of our common stock to our stockholders pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan.
Distributions to non-controlling interests were $230,000 and $2,138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we paid aggregate distributions of $3,082,000 in cash to common stockholders. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $1,714,000 and our FFO was $(321,000). For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 0% of distributions were paid from cash provided by operating activities and 100% from other proceeds. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we paid aggregate distributions of $3,223,000. During the same period, cash used in operating activities was $4,522,000 and our FFO was $8,866,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, 0% of distributions were paid from cash provided by operating activities and 100% from other proceeds.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for funds are and will continue to be for real estate and real estate-related acquisitions, for the payment of operating expenses, for the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness, and for the payment of distributions. Generally, we expect to meet cash needs for items other than acquisitions from our cash flow from operations; provided, that some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid from sources other than cash from operations (as discussed below). We expect to meet cash needs for acquisitions from the remaining net proceeds of our follow-on offering and from financings.
There may be a delay between the sale of our shares of common stock and the purchase of properties or other investments, which could result in a delay in our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Some or all of our distributions have been and may continue to be paid from sources other than cash flow from operations, including proceeds of our public offerings, cash advances to us by our advisor, cash resulting from a waiver of asset management fees and borrowings secured by our assets in anticipation of future operating cash flow. We may have little, if any, cash flow from operations available for distribution until we make substantial investments and those investments stabilize. In addition, to the extent our investments are in development or redevelopment projects or in properties that have significant capital requirements, our ability to make distributions may be negatively impacted, especially during our early periods of operation.
We use, and intend to use in the future, secured and unsecured debt to acquire properties and make other investments. As of March 31, 2021, our outstanding secured debt is $300,822,000. There is no limitation on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow for the purchase of any individual property or other investment. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors and if such excess is disclosed to the stockholders in the next quarterly report along with the explanation for such excess borrowings. Our board of directors has adopted a policy to limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 50% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Such limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets and only will apply once we have ceased raising capital in our public offering and invested substantially all our capital. As a result, we expect to borrow more than 50% of the contract purchase price of each real estate asset we acquire to the extent our board of directors determines that borrowing these amounts is prudent.
Pursuant to ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” management is required to evaluate the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The SASB Loan a currently extended maturity date of October 9, 2020 2021. The SASB Loan provides for two remaining one-year maturity date extensions. In order to exercise each successive one-year extension options, SPE LLC must meet five conditions in order to extend the maturity date without any further qualification. One of the five conditions is that Hartman SPE must have a debt yield, as defined, of 12.5% or greater as of June 30, 2021.
Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements due to the fact of the uncertainty regarding the loan maturity of the SASB Loan. Management believes that Hartman SPE will be able to extend the maturity date for one year which will mitigate the maturity date issue within one year of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statement.
We may, but is not required to, establish capital reserves from remaining gross offering proceeds, out of cash flow generated by operating properties and other investments or out of non-liquidating net sale proceeds from the sale of our properties and other investments. Capital reserves are typically utilized for non-operating expenses such as tenant improvements, leasing commissions and major capital expenditures. Alternatively, a lender may require its own formula for escrow of capital reserves.
Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from additional private or public offerings of our securities, secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of properties and undistributed funds from operations. If necessary, we may use financings or other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen significant capital expenditures.
The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 include the accounts of the Company, our operating partnership and its subsidiaries, Hartman SPE, LLC, HIREIT, Advisor and Hartman XIX. Prior to October 1, 2018, our consolidated financial statements did not include Hartman SPE, LLC. Prior to July 1, 2020, our consolidated financial statements did not include HIREIT, Advisor and Hartman XIX.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1,714,000 versus $4,522,000, respectively. The increase is mainly due to an increase in deferred leasing commissions of $1,013,000 and increase of $1,012,000 in due to/from related parties.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $2,871,000 versus $2,182,000, respectively. The increase in cash used in is mainly due to $750,000 repayment of related party notes receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, net cash used in financing activities was $4,067,000 and $1,972,000. The decrease is primarily due to $3,800,000 borrowing from affiliate during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
We use, and intend to use in the future, secured and unsecured debt, as a means of providing additional funds for the acquisition of our properties and our real estate-related assets. We believe that the careful use of borrowings will help us achieve our diversification goals and potentially enhance the returns on our investments. Under our charter, we are prohibited from borrowing in excess of 300% of our net assets, which generally approximates to 75% of the aggregate cost of our assets. We may borrow in excess of this amount if such excess is approved by a majority of the independent directors and disclosed to stockholders in our next quarterly report, along with a justification for such excess. In such event, we will monitor our debt levels and take action to reduce any such excess as practicable. Our aggregate borrowings are reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. As of March 31, 2021, our borrowings were not in excess of 300% of the value of our net assets.
In addition to using our capital resources for investing purposes and meeting our debt obligations, we expect to use our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor. We expect to make payments to our advisor or its affiliates in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of real estate and real estate-related investments, the management of our assets, the management of the development or improvement of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us.
As of March 31, 2021, we had notes payable totaling an aggregate principal amount of $303,611,000. For more information on our outstanding indebtedness, see Note 8 (Notes payable) to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
The Company is a covenant guarantor for the secured mortgage indebtedness of VIEs in the total amount of $24,902,000 and $24,998,000 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. See Note 12 (Related Party Transactions).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Related-Party Transactions and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with our advisor and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, our advisor and its affiliates. See Item 13, “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on April 16, 2021, as amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No. 1) on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 17, 2021, and Note 12 (Related Party Transactions) to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We will be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to acquire properties and make loans and other permitted investments. Our interest rate risk management objectives will be to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we expect to borrow primarily at fixed rates or variable rates with the lowest margins available and, in some cases, with the ability to convert variable rates to fixed rates. With regard to variable rate financing, we will assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, as of March 31, 2021, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). In performing this evaluation, management reviewed the selection, application and monitoring of our historical accounting policies. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021 at the reasonable assurance level.
Material Weakness
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of these inherent limitations, management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As disclosed and amended by our Annual Report (Amendment No.1) on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified a material weakness related to the lack of adequate reconciliation of liability accounts and accrued expenses.
Remediation Plans
Management has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed above. The remediation plan includes revising our procedures to ensure that appropriate all material balance sheet accounts are timely reviewed and reconciled for each reporting period and that the reconciliation process is further reviewed and approved by a responsible official independent of the process for overseeing such reconciliations. We believe these actions will be sufficient to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting; however, some of these actions will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.
PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the United States as well as Texas state and local economies and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the United States economy as well as the economies of the State of Texas and major Texas communities and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak is continually evolving and, as additional cases of the virus are identified, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel and mandatory closures of businesses. Certain cities where we own properties and/or have development sites, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue.
The future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial condition will however depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate the impact and effects of the pandemic, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may have the effect of heightening many of the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment no.1), as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2020, including:
•failure of our tenants to perform tenant obligations under our leases including but not limited to timely payment of rent and other charges;
•the disruptive impact on tenant personnel resources, which could hinder our ability to renew expiring leases, initiate or complete tenant build-out and construction projects and otherwise interfere with our tenant relationships;
•disruptions in the supply of materials or products or the inability of contractors to perform on timely basis tenant improvement construction or other construction and development;
•a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions, which could adversely affect our ability or desire to continue growing our portfolio of properties;
•the likelihood that the impact of COVID-19 could result in an event or change in circumstances that results in an impairment charge in the value of one or more of our properties, which would result in an immediately negative adjustment to our earnings and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations in the period in which the charge takes place;
•uncertainty as to whether business interruption, loss of rental income and/or other associated expenses related to our operations across our portfolio will be covered by our insurance policies, which may increase unreimbursed liabilities; and
•the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, including our senior management team, particularly if a significant number of our employees or key members of our senior management are impacted, which could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
Our stockholders were diluted by the Mergers.
The Mergers diluted the ownership position of our pre-merger stockholders and result in our stockholders (excluding stockholders affiliated with our advisor or sponsor) having an ownership stake in us that is smaller than their current stake in our company. In connection with the Mergers, we issued approximately 16,889,000 shares of our common stock to the holders of shares of Hartman XIX and HIREIT capital stock, based on the exchange ratios set forth in the Merger Agreements and the shares of Hartman XIX and HIREIT capital stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Our pre-merger stockholders (excluding stockholders affiliated with our advisor or sponsor) hold post-merger shares in the aggregate approximately 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock following the Mergers. In addition, approximately 1,516,000 units of limited partnership interest in our operating partnership are issuable in connection with the Partnership Merger and acquisition of Advisor. Consequently, our stockholders (excluding stockholders affiliated with our advisor or sponsor), as a general matter,
will have less influence over the management and policies of us after the Mergers than they exercised over the management and policies of us immediately prior to the Mergers.
Following the consummation of the Mergers, we will assume certain potential liabilities relating to Hartman XIX and HIREIT.
When the Mergers are consummated, we will have assumed certain potential liabilities relating to Hartman XIX and HIREIT. These liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business to the extent we have not identified such liabilities or have underestimated the amount of such liabilities.
The future results of the combined company will suffer if the combined company does not effectively integrate and manage its expanded operations following the Mergers.
Following the Mergers, we expect to continue to expand our operations through additional acquisitions and other strategic transactions, some of which may involve complex challenges. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage expansion opportunities, which may pose substantial challenges to integrate new operations into our existing business in an efficient and timely manner, and upon our ability to successfully monitor our operations, costs, regulatory compliance and service quality, and to maintain other necessary internal controls. There is no assurance that our expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or that we will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements or other benefits.
