1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS), or the Company, is a real estate investment trust engaged primarily in the ownership and operation of Class A multifamily properties, with select investments in grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Apartment Communities’ investment objective is to generate attractive, stable returns for stockholders by investing in income-producing properties and acquiring or originating real estate loans. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned or was invested in 107 properties in 13 states, predominantly in the Southeast region of the United States. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. The Company was externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Former Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party until January 31, 2020 (see Note 6). We refer to this transaction as the Internalization.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 52,897,104 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 99.1% owner of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership, at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 496,269 at September 30, 2021 and represented Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class A OP Units. The Class A OP Units are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Operating Partnership's choice of either cash or Common Stock. In the case of cash, the value is determined based upon the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company controlled the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and conducted substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership until January 31, 2020. Beginning February 1, 2020, the Company conducts substantially all of its business through PAC Carveout, LLC, or Carveout, a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Carveout has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has determined the Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity, or VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is involved with other VIEs as discussed in Note 4. New Market Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Office Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of office buildings. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owned and conducted the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities until the sale of all our student housing communities on November 3, 2020. Each of these entities are or were indirect subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

The potential reach, severity and duration of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and developments related to any variants, will cause our estimates and forecasts of future events to be inherently less certain. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Amounts are presented in thousands where indicated.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies have not changed materially from those described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2020.

Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting	The new standard enables affected entities to elect from a series of practical expedients designed to ease the transition from referenced base rates within contracts designated to be replaced by Reference Rate Reform.	The amendments are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.	ASU 2020-04 will be applicable to the Company's variable-rate debt instruments for which the Company is the borrower, which bear interest at a spread over the 1-month London Interbank Offer Rate (1-month LIBOR). Among the practical expedients are the option to elect prospective adjustment of the effective interest rate, foregoing reassessment of any instruments under loan modification rules. The Company is monitoring developments pertaining to Reference Rate Reform and does not currently anticipate ASU 2020-04 to have a material effect on its results of operations.

3. Real Estate Assets

The Company's real estate assets consisted of:

	As of:
	September 30, 2021	December 31, 2020
Residential Properties:
Properties (1,2)	41	37
Units	12,052	11,143
New Market Properties:

Properties (2)	3	9
Rentable square feet	1,241,000	3,169,000
Land	1	2
Rentable square feet	—	35,000
(1) The acquired second phases of CityPark View and Crosstown Walk communities are managed in combination with the initial phases and so together are considered a single property, as is the Regent at Lenox Village within the Lenox Portfolio.
(2) One multifamily community and two grocery-anchored shopping centers are owned through consolidated joint ventures. One grocery-anchored shopping center is an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.
(3) The Company also owns approximately 47,600 square feet of gross leasable area of ground floor retail space which is embedded within the Lenox Portfolio and is not included in the totals above for New Market Properties.
(4) Seven of our office properties and the real estate loan investment supporting the 8West office building were sold during the third quarter 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic that spread throughout the country during 2020 impacted earnings for commercial real estate to some degree but has not had a profound widespread negative effect on the valuations of real estate assets. The Company is continuing to monitor the spread and impact of the variants of COVID-19 as well as vaccination rates in its markets. The Company does not consider this event to be a triggering event for purposes of impairment, since overall occupancy rates for the Company’s real estate assets have not materially declined and the Company has continued to collect substantially all rent due. Thus, there is no evidence of declining valuations or a triggering event.

Purchase Options

In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, the Company will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If the Company determines that it does not wish to acquire the property, in certain cases it has the right to sell its purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount.

These fees are treated as additional interest revenue and are amortized over the period ending with the earlier of (i) the sale of the underlying property and (ii) the maturity of the real estate loans. The Company recorded approximately $2.6 million and $0.4 million of interest revenue from the amortization of these purchase option terminations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $7.1 million and $4.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Joint Venture Investment

On July 15, 2020, the Company contributed its Neapolitan Way grocery-anchored shopping center that was previously wholly-owned and consolidated into a joint venture in exchange for approximately $19.2 million and 50% interest in the joint venture. In doing so, the Company realized a gain on the transaction of approximately $3.3 million and now holds its remaining interest in the property via an unconsolidated joint venture and retains a 50% voting and financial interest. The following tables summarize the balance sheet and statements of income data for the Neapolitan Way shopping center subsequent to its contribution into the joint venture as of and for the periods presented:

The tables above reflect the disposition on July 29, 2021 of the Company's 8West real estate loan investment supporting a class-A office building in Atlanta, Georgia.

The loan pays a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrues additional deferred interest of 4.5% per annum and matures on September 1, 2024.

On May 28, 2021, we closed on two real estate loan investments of up to approximately $17.1 million to partially finance the development and construction of a 316-unit multifamily community to be located near Savannah, Georgia. The loans pay a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrue additional deferred interest of 4.25% per annum and mature on May 27, 2025.

September 30, 2021

On August 11, 2021, we closed on a real estate loan investment of up to approximately $23.2 million to partially finance the development and construction of a 352-unit multifamily community to be located in the Atlanta, Georgia MSA. The loan pays a current monthly interest rate of 8.5% per annum and accrues additional deferred interest of 4.5% per annum (that will be reduced to 2.5% upon the achievement of certain project milestones) and matures on February 11, 2025.

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

The Company's allowance for expected credit losses includes allowances on interest receivable on certain instruments, as shown in the following table:

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
(In thousands)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Allowance for expected credit losses:
Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit	$	414	$	414	$	1,230	$	1,234
Starkville real estate loan	—		195		—		582
Net (decreases) increases in current expected loss reserves on new and existing loans	(149)		(761)		(1,288)		3,647
Total	$	265	$	(152)	$	(58)	$	5,463

The Company incurred an aggregate net increase in its allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $0.3 million and an aggregate net decrease of $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, $4.5 million of the $5.5 million aggregate increase in the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses was due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company updating its estimates to the valuations of the underlying developments. The Company does not anticipate such a large increase in future periods.

The Company assesses the credit quality of its real estate loan investments by a calculated loss reserve ratio, which is an internally-developed credit quality indicator. Loss reserve ratios reflect the amount of protection afforded by the amount of equity and debt financing subordinate to the Company's position in the project; higher reserve ratios reflect a lower amount of invested dollars junior to the Company's position. The following table presents the Company's aggregation of loan amounts (including unpaid interest) by final reserve ratio as of September 30, 2021:

Final reserve ratio	Number of loans	Total receivables by project, net of reserves (in thousands)

The Company continues to monitor the extent of any impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on development activity underlying our real estate loan investments, including the availability of labor, the supply and availability of construction materials and the ability to achieve leased stabilization. The Company assesses its real estate loan investment portfolio for impacts from

COVID-19 at the outset of the project, as well as both quantitatively and qualitatively at the achievement of construction and leasing milestones during the projects' lives.

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

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

The Company's portfolio of notes and lines of credit receivable consisted of:

(1) The amount payable under the note is collateralized by one of the principals of the borrower's 49.49% interest in an unrelated shopping center located in Atlanta, Georgia and a personal guaranty of repayment by the principals of the borrower. See related party disclosure in Note 6.
(2) The amounts payable under the terms of this revolving credit line, up to the lesser of 25% of the loan balance or $2.0 million, are collateralized by a personal guaranty of repayment by the principals of the borrower.
(3) The amounts payable under the terms of these revolving credit lines are collateralized by a personal guaranty of repayment by the principal of the borrower.
(4) The commitment was reduced from $8 million to $1.25 million for the Oxford Capital Partners, LLC line of credit on March 30, 2021. A second Oxford line of credit was opened on March 30, 2021 with a commitment of $5.3 million.

On November 20, 2018, the borrower on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is incremental to the original 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded from the default date through September 30, 2021 was approximately $2.7 million. Under the terms of the loan, amounts collected are applied first to any legal costs incurred by the Company to collect amounts due on the loan; second, to pay any accrued default and current interest on the loan; and third, to repay the principal amount owed. The Company retains a pledge of a 49.49% interest in an unrelated shopping center located in Atlanta, Georgia as collateral on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit, as well as personal guaranties of repayment from the principals of the borrower.

In January 2019 the Company filed a lawsuit to collect the amounts owed under the line of credit it provided to Haven Campus Communities, LLC. In September 2019, Haven Campus Communities, LLC answered the lawsuit and filed counterclaims against the Company and its affiliates. At this time, the case is in discovery, so the Company is unable to make any estimates on timing or amounts that may be collected by the Company on its Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit.

Additionally, in November 2020, the Company filed two lawsuits to collect past due rent owed to the Former Manager of the Company, as sub-landlord pursuant to (i) an office sublease agreement dated May 1, 2017 by and between the Former Manager and Elevation Development Group, LLC and (ii) an office sublease agreement dated October 1, 2014 by and among the Former Manager, as sub-landlord, and Haven Campus Communities, LLC and Madison Retail, LLC as sub-tenants. The Company retains partial personal guaranties of repayment from the principals of Haven Campus Communities, LLC and Madison Retail, LLC. In December 2020, the defendants answered the lawsuit and filed counterclaims against the Company and its affiliates. At this time, the case is in discovery, so the Company is unable to make any estimates on timing or amounts that may be collected by the Company on its subleases.

The Company extends loans for purposes such as to partially finance the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk and the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, any of which can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project.

The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.

The Company has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except standard lender rights, which are subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders on the projects. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities and therefore it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of September 30, 2021 of approximately $191.0 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $243.4 million, which includes approximately $52.5 million of loan committed amounts not yet funded.

The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. The Company evaluates the expected residual profit it expects to collect under the terms of the loan versus the expected residual profit expected to be collected by the developer (in conjunction with any equity investors, if applicable), along with the "loan versus investment" characteristics as set forth by ASC 310-25. For each loan, the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate in cases where (i) the majority of the expected residual profit is expected to be due to the developer and (ii) the majority of "loan versus investment" tests indicate that the instrument is a loan.

The Company is subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Solis Cumming Town Center, Populus at Pooler, Populus at Pooler Capital and Club Drive real estate loan investments, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in Georgia. The drawn amount, plus outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of September 30, 2021 totaled approximately $23.2 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $60.9 million). The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Hidden River II, Hidden River II Capital, Vintage Horizon West and The Hudson real estate loan investments, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in Florida. The drawn amount, plus outstanding accrued interest, for these loans as of September 30, 2021 totaled approximately $26.0 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately

21

$34.9 million). The event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors would subject the Company to a total possible loss of the drawn amount and all outstanding accrued interest.

5. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings

On February 14, 2020, the Company's offering of a maximum of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock (the "$1.5 Billion Unit Offering") expired. See note 6 for discussion regarding a termination fee agreement with and payment to Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, an affiliate of the Company until June 3, 2021, in conjunction with the Company's winding down of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering.

The Series A Preferred Stock, Series A1 Preferred Stock, mShares, and Series M1 Preferred Stock are collectively defined as “Preferred Stock”.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company called or redeemed an aggregate of 35,802 shares of Redeemable Preferred Stock for a total redemption cost of $305.8 million.

At September 30, 2021, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

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

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

Certain offering costs are not related to specific closing transactions and are recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of instruments issued to the maximum number of shares of Preferred Stock anticipated to be issued. Any offering costs not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheets as deferred offering costs.

Cumulative gross proceeds and offering costs for the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

(In thousands)					Deferred Offering Costs

(1) These offering costs specifically identifiable to preferred stock or ATM offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing.

Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering

On September 27, 2019, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-233576) (the “Series A1/M1 Registration Statement”)  was declared effective by the SEC. Shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series M1 Preferred

Stock issued under the Series A1/M1 Registration Statement are each offered at a price of $1,000 per share, subject to adjustment under certain conditions.

Aggregate offering expenses of the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees for the Series A1 Preferred Stock and only dealer manager fees for the Series M1 Preferred Stock, are capped at 12.0% of aggregate gross proceeds of the offering. Dealer manager fees and sales commissions for the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering are not reimbursable.

2019 ATM Offering

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued and sold 2,609,840 shares of Common Stock under the 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $28.0 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $27.6 million.

6. Related Party Transactions

On January 31, 2020, the Company internalized the functions performed by the Former Manager and Sub-Manager by acquiring the entities that owned the Former Manager and the Sub-Manager for an aggregate purchase price of $154 million, plus up to $25 million of additional consideration to be paid within 36 months, due upon the earlier of (i) if, for the immediately preceding fiscal year beginning on January 1, funds from operations ("FFO") of the Company per weighted average basic share of the Company’s common stock and Class A Unit (as defined in the limited partnership agreement of PAC OP) outstanding for such fiscal year is determined to be greater than or equal to $1.55 or (ii) on the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the closing of the Internalization. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the sellers sold all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of NELL Partners, Inc. ("NELL") and NMA Holdings, Inc. ("NMA") to Carveout in exchange for an aggregate of approximately $111.1 million in cash paid at the closing which reflects the satisfaction of certain indebtedness of NELL, the estimated net working capital adjustment, and a hold back of $15 million for certain specified matters (the "Specified Matters Holdback Amount"). The Specified Matters Holdback Amount is payable to the NELL sellers less certain losses following final resolution of any such specified matters.

Daniel M. DuPree and Leonard A. Silverstein were executive directors of NELL Partners, Inc., which controlled the Former Manager through the date of the Internalization. Daniel M. DuPree was the Chief Executive Officer and Leonard A. Silverstein was the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Former Manager. Trusts established, or entities owned, by the family of John A. Williams, Daniel M. DuPree, the family of Leonard A. Silverstein, the Company’s former Vice Chairman of the Board, and former President and Chief Operating Officer, were the owners of NELL. Trusts established, or entities owned, by Joel T. Murphy, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board, the family of Mr. Williams, Mr. DuPree and the family of Mr. Silverstein were the owners of the Sub-Manager.

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

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

The Management Agreement entitled the Former Manager to receive compensation for various services it performed related to acquiring assets and managing properties on the Company's behalf, as shown in the following table. There were no such fees incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Type of Compensation	Basis of Compensation	Three-month period ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands)		Nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 (in thousands)
Acquisition fees	1.0% of the gross purchase price of real estate assets	$	—	$	235
Loan coordination fees	0.6% of any assumed, new or supplemental debt incurred in connection with an acquired property	—		47
Asset management fees	Monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total book value of assets, as adjusted	—		1,349
Property management fees	Monthly fee up to 4% of the monthly gross revenues of the properties managed	—		890
General and administrative expense fees	Monthly fee equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company	—		616
Construction management fees	Quarterly fee for property renovation and takeover projects	—		14
		$	—	$	3,151

The Former Manager waived some of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees for properties owned by the Company. A cumulative total of approximately $25.6 million of combined asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties had been waived by the Former Manager; at the date of Internalization, all of the remaining contingent fees of $24.1 million were eliminated in conjunction with the Company's Internalization transaction.

In addition to property management fees, the Company incurred reimbursable on-site personnel salary and related benefits expenses at the properties that totaled $0 and $1.43 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020, respectively. These costs are listed on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Former Manager utilized its own and its affiliates' personnel to accomplish certain tasks related to raising capital that would typically be performed by third parties, including, but not limited to, legal and marketing functions. As permitted under the Management Agreement, the Former Manager was reimbursed $0 and $40,451 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 respectively. These costs were recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering or the 2019 Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity. In conjunction with the winding down of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, the Company engaged PCS, an affiliate of the Company until June 3, 2021, to perform certain termination-related services. These services began in October 2019 and continued through April 2020. The Company paid an additional $3.1 million for these services for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, which were recorded as deferred offering costs.

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

On November 20, 2018, the borrower on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is incremental to the original 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded from the default date through September 30, 2021 was approximately $2.7 million. Under the terms of the loan, amounts collected are applied first to any legal costs incurred by the Company to collect amounts due on the loan; second, to pay any accrued default and current interest on the loan; and third, to repay the principal amount owed.

7. Dividends and Distributions

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

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

The Company declared aggregate quarterly cash dividends on its Common Stock of $0.175 and $0.175 per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $0.525 and $0.6125 per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The holders of Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to equivalent distributions as the dividends declared on the Common Stock. At September 30, 2021, the Company had 496,269 Class A OP Units outstanding, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock or the equivalent amount of cash.

The Company's dividend and distribution activity consisted of:

Performance-based Restricted Stock Unit Grants

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Restricted Stock Grants

The following annual grants of restricted stock were made to the Company's independent directors, as payment of the annual retainer fees. The restricted stock grants for service years 2019-2021 vested on a pro-rata basis over the four consecutive 90-day periods following the date of grant. The restricted stock grants for service years 2020 and 2021 vested (or are scheduled to vest) on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders..

Service year	Shares	Fair value per share		Total compensation cost (in thousands)
2019	26,446	$	15.88	$	420
2020	66,114	$	8.05	$	532
2021	46,782	$	10.26	$	480

On June 17, 2020, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $8.05 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the business day preceding the grant date. A total of 137,741 shares representing a fair value of approximately $1.1 million will vest on the four year anniversary of the grant date and 344,356 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million are scheduled to vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. A total of 22,210 shares of unvested restricted stock was forfeited from the 2020 grant during the third quarter of 2021.

On March 15, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock to certain of its executives and employees. The fair value per share of $10.69 was based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. A total of 261,226 shares representing a fair value of approximately $2.8 million are scheduled to vest on a pro-rata basis on each of the four succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. A total of 20,112 shares of unvested restricted stock was forfeited from the 2021 grant during the third quarter of 2021.

(2) Additional Class B OP Units granted to senior executives other than Mr. Williams were voluntarily forfeited at the end of 2018.

There were no grants of Class B OP Units subsequent to January 2, 2018.

The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the 2018 Class B OP Unit awards were:

Grant date	1/2/2018

Calculated fair value per Unit	$	16.66
Total fair value of Units	$	4,266,409

The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant dates and the projected future quarterly dividend payments per share of $0.25 for the 2018 awards.

For the 2018 awards, the Company's own stock price history was utilized as the basis for deriving the expected volatility assumption.

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

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

    Restricted Stock Units

The Company made grants of restricted stock units, or RSUs, to its employees under the 2019 Plan, and prior to Internalization, made grants of RSUs to certain employees of affiliates of the Company under the 2011 Plan, as shown in the following table:

Grant date	3/15/2021		1/2/2020		1/2/2019		1/2/2018
Service period	2021-2023		2020-2022		2019-2021		2018-2020
RSU activity:
Granted	20,600		21,400		27,760		20,720
Forfeited	(1,800)		(5,600)		(8,661)		(8,274)
RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2021	18,800		15,800		19,099		12,446
RSUs unearned but vested	—		5,288		12,817		12,446
RSUs unearned and not yet vested	18,800		10,512		6,282		—
RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2021	18,800		15,800		19,099		12,446
Fair value per RSU	$	10.69	$	9.47	$	10.77	$	16.66
Total fair value of RSU grant	$	220,214	$	202,658	$	298,975	$	345,195

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

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

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which includes a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit is $200 million with an option to increase to $300 million pursuant to an accordion feature. The accordion feature permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. On May 4, 2021, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, was amended to extend the maturity to May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2025, subject to certain conditions described therein. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 3.62% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021. The commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit is 0.20% or 0.25% per annum, depending upon the Company's outstanding Credit Facility balance.

On December 20, 2019, the Company entered into a $70.0 million interim term loan with KeyBank, or the 2019 Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Morrocroft Centre, an office building located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2019 Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.7% per annum. The 2019 Term Loan was repaid in conjunction with the closing of permanent mortgage financing for Morrocroft Centre on March 19, 2020.

The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended on May 4, 2021, contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amount of dividends that may be paid out by the Company is restricted to a maximum of 100% of AFFO for the trailing four quarters without the lender's consent; solely for purposes of this covenant, AFFO is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, plus reserves for capital expenditures, less normally recurring capital expenditures, less consolidated interest expense.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Line of Credit, as amended, as shown in the following table:

Covenant (1)	Requirement		Result
Net worth	Minimum $1.3 billion	(2)	$1.7 billion
Debt yield	Minimum 8.75%	(3)	9.68%
Payout ratio	Maximum 100%	(4)	85.3%
Total leverage ratio	Maximum 65%		58.4%
Debt service coverage ratio	Minimum 1.50x	(5)	2.08x

(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Revolving Line of Credit.

(2) The minimum net worth covenant decreased to a minimum of $1.3 billion on July 29, 2021 with the office properties closing.

(3) The minimum debt yield covenant increases to a minimum of 9.0% on May 5, 2023.

(4) Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the period ended September 30, 2021, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was approximately $183.7 million.

(5) Minimum of 1.50x if AFFO payout ratio is less than or equal to 95% and 1.70x if greater than 95%.

Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment and subsequent amendments of the Credit Facility are amortized utilizing the straight line method over the life of the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2021, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the Credit Facility were approximately $2.0 million, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 2.7 years. Loan fees and closing costs for the mortgage debt on the Company's properties are amortized utilizing the effective interest rate method over the lives of the loans.

    Acquisition Facility

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The purpose of the Acquisition Facility is to finance acquisitions. On March 25, 2019, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased to $90 million by agreement between the Company and KeyBank. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein.

10. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders. For the Company's tax years prior to its REIT election year, its operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status; therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Company as Lessee

The Company has one ground lease for which the Company has evaluated its renewal option periods in quantifying its related lessee asset and liability. In determining the value of its right of use asset and lease liability, the Company used discount rates comparable to recent loan rates obtained on comparative properties within its portfolio.

The Company is also, as of January 31, 2020 following the Internalization, the lessee of office space for its property support center which expires in May 2026, and of furniture and office equipment, which leases generally are three to five years in duration with minimal rent increases. The Company subleases a portion of its leased office space to third parties; office rental expense is included net of the revenue from these subleases in the general and administrative expense line on the consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from subleased office space was approximately $707,000 and $763,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company recorded lease expense as follows:

13. Segment Information

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

Residential Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of residential multifamily communities as well as the Company's portfolio of owned student housing properties. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owned and conducted the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities until the sale of all our student housing communities on November 3, 2020. As of and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, the Residential Properties segment only consists of the Company's multifamily communities.

Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of real estate loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets. Excluded from the financing segment are the consolidated assets of VIEs.

New Market Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers.

Preferred Office Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of office buildings.

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

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

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has recorded deferred revenue in an aggregate amount of $47.0 million in connection with such improvements. The remaining balance to be recognized is approximately $33.1 million which is included in the deferred revenues line on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021. These total costs will be amortized over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the individual lease terms. The Company recorded non-cash revenue of approximately $2.8 million for both the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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

Segment NOI for each reportable segment was as follows:

(A) The Company's outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (496 and 742 Units at September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively) contain rights to distributions in the same amount per unit as for dividends declared on the Company's Common Stock. The impact of the Class A Unit distributions on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Class A Units based on dividends declared and the Class A Units' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

(B) The Company’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly. The Company had 1,344 and 1,991 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and 246 and 103 outstanding shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's mShares accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 5.75% in year one to 7.50% in year eight and thereafter. The Company had 84 and 91 mShares outstanding at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company's shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 6.1% in year one to 7.1% in year ten and thereafter. The Company had 32 and 13 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock outstanding at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(C) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (662 and 548 shares of Common Stock at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company's unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities, the dividends declared for that period are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock.

(D) Potential dilution from (i) warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Series A Preferred Stock offerings that are potentially exercisable into 21,689 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 58 Class B Units; (iii) 662 shares of unvested restricted common stock; (iv) 66 outstanding Restricted Stock Units; and (v) 449 PSUs are excluded from the diluted shares calculations because the effect was antidilutive. Class A Units were excluded from the denominator because earnings were allocated to non-controlling interests in the calculation of the numerator.

15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

The following tables provide estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's real estate loans include accrued interest receivable from additional interest or exit fee allowances and are presented net of deferred loan fee revenue and credit losses reserves, where applicable.

September 30, 2021

The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date of the loan, based on the outstanding loan balances at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

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

16. Subsequent Events

On October 14, 2021, the Company closed on a real estate loan investment of up to $16.6 million supporting a 337-unit second phase of The Menlo multifamily community in Jacksonville, Florida.

On October 21, 2021, the Company closed on supplemental notes payable (i) with a principal amount of approximately $7.3 million supporting the Retreat at Greystone multifamily community that bears a fixed interest rate of 3.47% per annum and matures on December 1, 2024 and (ii) with a principal amount of approximately $3.7 million supporting the Aldridge at Town Village multifamily community that bears a fixed interest rate of 3.46% per annum and matures on November 1, 2024.

On October 28, 2021, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock of $0.175 per share, payable on January 14, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 15, 2021.

Between October 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021, the Company issued 49,049 shares of Common Stock under the 2019 ATM Offering at an average price of $12.43 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $610,000 and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $600,000.

Between October 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021, the Company issued 2,882 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $2.8 million after commissions and fees. During the same period, the Company redeemed 2,001 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 267 mShares, 8 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, and 193 shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock.

On November 1, 2021, we repaid the mortgage debt in the amount of $27.4 million supporting our Champions Village grocery-anchored shopping center, and on November 2, 2021, we financed our Woodstock Crossing grocery-anchored shopping center with a $5.3 million mortgage bearing interest at a fixed rate of 2.89% per annum that matures on December 1, 2026.

On November 3, 2021, the Company closed on a real estate loan investment of up to $9.1 million, in support of a 246-unit multifamily community located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Significant Developments

    During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, we acquired four multifamily communities comprising an aggregate of 1,028 units and we closed on one real estate loan investment of up to approximately $23.2 million, in partial support of the development of a 352-unit multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

    During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, we issued 37,009 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed or called 305,802 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net reduction of 268,793 shares of Preferred Stock, and a net cash outflow of approximately $272.0 million. During the same period, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,167,626 shares of Common Stock under our ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $12.9 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million. Our equity offerings are discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, we sold seven office properties (Galleria 75, 150 Fayetteville, Capitol Towers, CAPTRUST Tower, Morrocroft Centre, Armour Yards, and 251 Armour Yards) and our 8West real estate loan investment for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $725.0 million. We recognized an aggregate loss on sale of $12.0 million in the third quarter. We expect the disposition of these assets may result in a potentially material decrease in our revenues and results of operations. We used part of the proceeds from the sales to call approximately $288.3 million of our Series A Preferred Stock during the third quarter.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Industry Outlook

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

Multifamily Communities

We continue to believe in the health of the multifamily industry, which is driven by both favorable demographic tailwinds and strong economic fundamentals.

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

Fundamentally, the multifamily industry is benefiting from the current housing shortage in the United States, which Freddie Mac estimates at 3.8 million housing units as of the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase in the housing stock deficit of 52% from the 2.5 million housing units Freddie Mac estimated in 2018. Furthermore, we believe the U.S. is in the early stages of an economic expansion, which we believe will drive job growth and lead to increased multifamily demand. The sector continues to show resiliency and positive momentum as forecasts generally support stable occupancy, rent growth and net absorption of units.

Investors, both domestic and abroad, continue to seek quality multifamily housing given strong secular demand and the financial stability of the industry. Commercial real estate investment volume remains high with multifamily realizing more volume than any other property type; a trend that has been ongoing and is expected to continue. Moreover, mortgage production remains very healthy and efficient as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, life insurance companies and collateralized mortgage-backed securities lenders compete for borrowers as they see increased demand for multifamily debt, whether for their own account or securitized.

Strategically, the Company is focused on the goal of outperforming the multifamily market on a risk adjusted basis, as it looks for investments that offer an attractive location, superior product or provide a value proposition. Moreover, the Company is purposeful in its management of assets, aiming to provide a relatively stable and steady rental stream from its portfolio by employing principally fixed-rate long-term project-level debt financing and adhering to strict leasing guidelines regarding the credit worthiness of its tenants.

New Market Properties

We specialize in owning and operating shopping centers anchored by market-leading grocers complemented by convenience-based retailers across high-growth suburban Sunbelt markets. These centers are primarily anchored by Publix, Kroger, Harris Teeter and other market share leading grocers with high sales per square foot. We believe that our focus on an e-commerce resilient, daily needs-centric merchandising mix has our portfolio positioned well to flourish amidst the accelerated migration to the Sunbelt. Convenience-driven retail within our retail portfolio continues to thrive amidst the resurgence of the sector. Customers continue to rely on the brick-and-mortar footprints of retailers, with 11% more consumers planning to shop in store this holiday season than in 2019 according to Jones Lang LaSalle. Grocery stores also continue to flourish, with Publix's third quarter 2021 foot traffic 13.3% higher than 2019 levels.

The accelerated migration trends occurring in affluent and growing suburbs across the Sunbelt have tremendously benefited our retail portfolio. The states that our retail portfolio is located in have outpaced US population growth, increasing population by 12% over the last 10 years compared to the 7% national average. Suburban retail continues to benefit from increased workplace flexibility, allowing shoppers to work from home at their convenience, yielding more time spent closer to our assets. Retailers are recognizing each of these tailwinds and are focused on suburban Sunbelt expansion as a result.

We are encouraged by the strong retailer demand in our shopping centers and are strategically focusing on improving our overall merchandising mix to better our positioning in the ever-changing retail landscape. Our grocery partners are all engaged in further developing their curbside pickup and Buy Online Pickup in Store ("BOPIS") offerings as they establish themselves as the optimal last mile touchpoint for shoppers. Our tenant base has proven its resiliency during the pandemic. Our grocery partners continue to thrive, and our e-commerce and convenience focused tenancy is positioned well to benefit from the strong tailwinds that the suburbs throughout the Sunbelt are experiencing today.

Preferred Office Properties

               Preferred Office Properties operates three Class A office assets comprising 1.2 million square feet in the Atlanta, San Antonio and Birmingham markets. New leasing activity has slowed and sublease availability has increased in most markets due to uncertainty from COVID-19. We expect to see some level of continued soft demand in the near-term. Despite these challenges, the Company’s office investments are 87% leased with only approximately 1.2% of the portfolio leases expiring through the end of 2022. Furthermore, multi-year contractual leases and rent schedules paired with high quality tenant balance sheets have offered protection against adverse impacts of COVID-19.

The pandemic has highlighted the trend of relocations out of larger gateway cities to the suburban, Sunbelt target markets. As the pandemic eases this trend could continue or abate as the market settles from the disruption of COVID-19. We continue to see interest in our assets from companies of varying sizes and from varying industries, which is a positive trend for our investment thesis and the markets in which we have invested.

The company sold a substantial majority of its office assets during the third quarter 2021. The sale of these assets marks a continuation of our stated strategy to simplify our investment focus, realign our balance sheet and to ultimately exit the office business entirely over time.

Critical Accounting Policies

    There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-

K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    As of September 30, 2021, we had 1,084,471 outstanding Warrants from our sales of Units. The Warrants are exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant, with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share for Warrants issued after February 15, 2017. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2021, a total of 531,522 Warrants had been exercised into 10,630,440 shares of Common stock. The 1,084,471 Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2021 have exercise prices that range between $19.50 and $26.34 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2021 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $438.9 million and we would as a result issue an additional 21,689,420 shares of Common Stock.

Results of Operations

    Certain financial highlights of our results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were:

Financial

•Our total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased approximately $15.4 million, or 12.2%, to $111.0 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2020, due to the absence of revenues from the eight student housing properties that we sold on November 3, 2020 and the seven office properties and one real estate loan investment that we sold during the third quarter 2021. The student housing properties contributed approximately $12.5 million, or 9.9% of our total revenues and the disposed office properties and real estate loan investment contributed approximately $17.3 million, or 13.7% of our total

46

revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Excluding the contributions of these disposed assets, our year-over-year total revenues would have increased $7.7 million, or 8%.

•Our net loss per share was $(0.92) and $(0.79) for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Funds From Operations, or FFO, was $(0.31) and $0.17 per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in FFO per share was driven by:

*deemed dividends due to calls and cash redemptions of our preferred stock of $(0.51) per share;

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share;

*partially offset by lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share; and

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share.

•Our Core FFO per share increased to $0.28 for the third quarter 2021 from $0.26 for the third quarter 2020, due to:

*lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share;

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share; and

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share.

•Our AFFO per share increased to $0.40 for the third quarter 2021 from $0.07 for the third quarter 2020 due to:

*accrued interest income received of $0.16 per share;

*lower cash dividend requirements on our preferred stock of $0.13 per share;

*cash received from purchase option termination agreements of $0.06 per share;

*smaller adjustments to remove non-cash revenues from amortization of deferred revenues, straight-line rent adjustments, above and below market leases and lease inducements of $0.05;

*improved multifamily same-store results of $0.04 per share; and

*lower FFO resulting from the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and seven office properties and one real estate loan investment in the third quarter of 2021 of $(0.14) per share.

•Our Core FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 63.7% and our Core FFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 79.5% for the third quarter 2021. (A)

•Our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 44.6% and our AFFO payout ratio to our preferred stockholders was approximately 73.1% for the third quarter 2021.

•As of September 30, 2021, our total assets were approximately $3.7 billion, a net decrease from our total assets of approximately $4.7 billion at September 30, 2020, that primarily resulted from the sale of seven office properties during the third quarter 2021 and of our student housing portfolio during the fourth quarter 2020, offset by the acquisition of five multifamily communities (net of dispositions).

(A) We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to Core FFO and AFFO. We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and Core FFO and AFFO. Since our operations resulted in a net loss from continuing operations for the periods presented, a payout ratio based on net loss is not calculable. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.

Operational

•Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 24.1% and 8.8% respectively and 15.6% blended for third quarter 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases of six months or less.

•Our rental rates for our multifamily same-store properties for new and renewal leases increased 25.6% and 13.3% respectively and 18.6% blended for October 2021 as compared to the expiring leases, excluding shorter-term leases of six months or less.

47

•As of September 30, 2021, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 6.1 years, which we believe is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.

•As of September 30, 2021, all of our owned multifamily communities had achieved stabilization except for The Ellison (that was acquired on June 30, 2021), and Alleia at Presidio, The Anson, The Kingson, and Chestnut Farm, which were all acquired during the third quarter 2021. We define stabilization as reaching 93% occupancy for all three consecutive months within a single quarter.

•The average physical occupancy of our same-store multifamily communities increased to 97.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 from 95.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 and 96.8% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.

•Our average recurring rental revenue collections were approximately 99.2% for multifamily communities and 99.2% for grocery-anchored retail properties for the third quarter 2021.

Financing and Capital Markets

•As of September 30, 2021, approximately 95.1% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 0.9% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates. Our overall weighted average interest rate for our mortgage debt portfolio was 3.3% for multifamily communities, 4.2% for office properties, 3.9% for grocery-anchored retail properties and 3.5% in the aggregate.

•During the third quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,009 shares of preferred stock and redeemed or called an aggregate of 305,802 shares of preferred stock, resulting in a net reduction of 268,793 outstanding shares of preferred stock, for a net redemption of approximately $272.0 million.

•At September 30, 2021, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 57.6%.

•At September 30, 2021, we had $200.0 million available to be drawn on our revolving line of credit.

•During the third quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,167,626 shares of Common Stock under our 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $12.9 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million.

•During the third quarter 2021, we received the full principal and interest amounts due from the repayment of eleven real estate loan investments associated with six properties that totaled approximately $114.1 million, plus purchase option termination fee proceeds of approximately $5.4 million. These transactions collectively returned approximately $119.5 million of capital to us during the third quarter for investment, preferred stock redemptions, or other corporate purposes. Of the six properties represented by these loan payoffs, we acquired three of the assets.

•On August 11, 2021, we originated a real estate loan investment of up to approximately $23.2 million, in support of the development of a 352-unit multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

Real Estate Loan Investments

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

49

As of September 30, 2021, potential property acquisitions and units from projects in our real estate loan investment portfolio for which we hold a purchase option or right of first offer consisted of:

		Total units upon	Purchase option window

(3) The option period window begins on the later of one year following receipt of final certificate of occupancy or 90 days beyond the achievement of a 93% occupancy threshold by the underlying property and ends 60 days beyond the option period beginning date.
(4) We hold a right of first offer on the property.
(5) The option period begins upon the property's achievement of an 85% occupancy threshold. If we are unable to reach an agreement on the property's market value, we have a right of first offer.
(6) The option period begins upon the property's achievement of an 80% occupancy threshold. If we are unable to reach an agreement on the property's market value, we have a right of first offer.

Recent acquisitions

Our dispositions (partially offset by acquisitions) of real estate assets since January 1, 2020 were the primary drivers behind our decreases in rental and property revenues and property operating expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 versus 2020, as listed in the tables below:

Rental and other property revenues

    Rental and other property revenues decreased 13.7% and 8.8% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and the sale of seven office properties during the third quarter of 2021. Changes in occupancy rates and in percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of changes in rental revenue from our owned properties. Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for home purchases, and changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.

Interest income

    Interest income from our real estate loan and note investments, including interest income from related party investments, decreased 67% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 versus the corresponding period of 2020, primarily due to an overall decrease in current and deferred interest revenue from our smaller portfolio of real estate loan investments and notes receivable. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $191.0 million at September 30, 2021 from $323.6 million at September 30, 2020. During the third quarter 2021, we recorded purchase option termination fee income of approximately $2.6 million on real estate loan investments that supported the Cameron Square and V & Three multifamily communities. Comparatively, we only recorded purchase option termination fee income of approximately $0.4 million on real estate loan investments during the third quarter of 2020. These increased revenues from purchase option termination fees offset the smaller revenue stream of current and deferred interest described above. As of September 30, 2021, we have no further purchase option termination fees remaining to be amortized into interest income from real estate loan investments.

We recorded interest income and other revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Miscellaneous revenues

Miscellaneous revenues decreased 75% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 versus the corresponding period of 2020, primarily due to the recognition of a forfeited earnest money deposit of $2.75 million from a prospective purchaser of six of our student housing properties during the first quarter 2020.

Property-level expenses

Property operating and maintenance, property salary and benefits, property management costs and real estate taxes and insurance decreased uniformly for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and the sale of seven office properties during the third quarter 2021. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents and tenants.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased 7.9% and 9.7% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to increased compensation costs.

Equity compensation to directors and executives

Equity compensation expenses increased 40.4% and 118.9% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to issuances of restricted stock and restricted stock units since March 31, 2020. These instruments have a collective fair value of approximately $12.9 million, that will be amortized as described in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

56

Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party

Monthly asset management fees and general and administrative expense fees ceased effective with the closing of our Internalization Transaction on January 31, 2020.

Allowance for expected credit losses

Our allowance for expected credit losses on our real estate loan investments increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 versus the corresponding period of 2020 as we recorded reserves on interest revenue from our Haven line of credit outweighed the decreases in reserves from the sale or repayment of eleven real estate loans during the third quarter 2021. The primary driver of the decrease for the nine-month period 2021 versus the 2020 period was due to the repayment of eleven real estate loan investments and the sale of the 8West loan.

Management Internalization expense

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

Interest expense

Our interest expense decreased 16.8% and 12.7% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, versus the corresponding periods of 2020, primarily due to the sale of our student housing properties in the fourth quarter 2020 and the sale of seven office properties during the third quarter of 2021.

See the sections entitled Contractual Obligations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

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

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

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

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

Net income/loss, excluding:

◦depreciation and amortization related to real estate;

◦gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets;

◦gains and losses from change in control and

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

57

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

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

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

FFO, plus:

• acquisition and pursuit (dead deal) costs;

• loan cost amortization on acquisition line of credit and loan coordination fees;

• losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;

• Internalization costs;

• expenses incurred on calls of preferred stock;

• deemed dividends for redemptions of and non-cash dividends on preferred stock;

• expenses related to the COVID-19 global pandemic; and

Less:

• earnest money forfeitures by prospective asset purchasers.

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

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

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

Core FFO, plus:

• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• non-cash (income) expense for current expected credit losses;

• amortization of loan closing costs;

• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;

• net loan origination fees received;

• deferred interest income received;

• amortization of lease inducements;

• cash received in excess of (exceeded by) amortization of purchase option termination revenues;

• non-cash dividends on Series M1 Preferred Stock and mShares; and

• earnest money forfeiture from prospective asset purchaser;

Less:

• non-cash loan interest income;

• cash paid for loan closing costs;

• amortization of straight-line rent adjustments and acquired real estate intangible assets and/or liabilities;

• amortization of deferred revenues; and

• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized second generation leasing costs.

58

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

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, Core FFO and AFFO to

Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders

1)Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 include activity for the properties acquired since September 30, 2020. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.

2)Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 496,269 Class A Units as of September 30, 2021. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 0.94% and 1.47% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

3)     We paid loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, (our "Former Manager") to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties prior to the Internalization Transaction (defined in note 4 below). The fees were calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO and AFFO. At September 30, 2021, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $8.3 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.2 years.

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

5)    This additive adjustment removes the effect of deemed dividends that arise from cash calls and redemptions of preferred stock. For preferred stock shares that are called by the Company or redeemed by the holder, the Company records a deemed dividend for the difference between the redemption of the share at its face value, net of any redemption discount, as compared to the carrying value of the share on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Also included in this adjustment is the adding back of expenses incurred related to effecting calls of preferred stock.

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

7)    We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At September 30, 2021, unamortized loan costs on all the Company's indebtedness were approximately $30.4 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 8.0 years.

8) We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. The total fees received are additive adjustments to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

9) Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. Once received from the borrower, the amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

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

11)    Occasionally we receive fees in exchange for the termination of our purchase options related to certain multifamily communities. These fees are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in our calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For periods in which recognized termination fee revenues exceeded the amount of cash received, a negative adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO; for periods in which cash received exceeded the amount of recognized termination fee revenues, an additive adjustment is shown to Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

62

12) Loan origination fees (described in note 8 above) are recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. Similarly, the accrual of additional interest amounts (described in note 9 above) are recognized beginning from loan inception through the repayment of the loan or the refinancing or sale of the underlying property. This adjustment removes the effect of both these types of non-cash loan interest income from Core FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

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

14)    This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At September 30, 2021, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $37.1 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.3 years.

15)    This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.

16)    We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. This adjustment includes approximately $21,000 and $59,000 of recurring capitalized expenditures incurred at our corporate offices during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Building Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-Term Liquidity

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

•operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties (including regular maintenance items);

•operating expenses related to salaries, benefits, and general and administrative expenses (that were formally funded by payment of fees to our Former Manager prior to Internalization on January 31, 2020);

•capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;

•interest and principal payments on our outstanding property level debt;

•amounts due on our Credit Facility;

•distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders;

•cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders; and

•committed investments.

We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. On May 4, 2021, Carveout and PAC-OP, (collectively, the “Borrowers”) and the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which (i) extended the maturity date for the Revolving Facility to May 4, 2024, with an option to extend the maturity date to May 4, 2025, (ii) added Carveout as a borrower and (iii) modified certain of the financial covenants. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Facility was $0. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of KeyBank's prime rate plus 0.5%, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, or the one- or three-month per annum LIBOR, as selected by the Borrowers, plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon our leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 3.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit to 0.20% or 0.25% per annum, depending upon our outstanding Credit Facility balance. At September 30, 2021, we had $200 million available to be drawn by us on the Revolving Line of Credit.

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

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. Our results with respect to such compliance are presented in Note 9 to the company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

    On February 28, 2017, we entered into a revolving acquisition credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain the Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The sole purpose of the Acquisition Credit Agreement is to finance our acquisitions of multifamily communities prior to obtaining permanent conventional mortgage financing on the acquired assets. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility was reduced by agreement with KeyBank to $90 million on March 25, 2019. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum,

64

depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein. At September 30, 2021, we had $90.0 million available to be drawn by us on the Acquisition Facility.

    Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $164.9 million and net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $30.0 million. The Internalization transaction that closed in the first quarter 2020 reflected one-time cash payments to the entities that owned the Former Manager and Former Sub-Manager that totaled approximately $111.1 million, plus approximately $3.8 million in related professional fees.

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

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

    Our net cash provided by investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $73.6 million and net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $155.2 million. Cash collected from the disposition of the seven office assets and one multifamily community during the third quarter 2021 totaled approximately $330.6 million and we collected approximately $133.0 million from repayments of real estate loan investments.

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

65

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, our capital expenditures for our multifamily communities, not including changes in related payables, were as follows:

(In thousands, except per-unit amounts)	Capital Expenditures
	Recurring				Non-recurring				Total
	Amount		Per Unit		Amount		Per Unit		Amount		Per Unit
Appliances	$	533	$	47.43	$	—	$	—	$	533	$	47.43

    In addition, second-generation capital expenditures within our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $4.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and within our office properties portfolio for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $2.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. We define second-generation capital expenditures as those that exclude expenditures made in our grocery-anchored shopping center and office properties portfolios (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our ownership standards, and (iii) for property re-developments and repositioning.

    At September 30, 2021, we had restricted cash of approximately $54.0 million. These funds are restricted for a variety of purposes, such as commitments to fund capital expenditures and lender required escrows for future real estate tax and insurance payments. At September 30, 2021, our restricted cash for future real estate tax and insurance payments was approximately $32.3 million. Typically these escrows increase in the second and third quarters of each calendar year as the Company pays monthly mortgage installments, of which a portion goes to these escrows, until payments are made to the taxing authorities (generally in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year). Additionally, through the mortgage refinances that the Company executed since March 31, 2020, our lenders required us to put an additional $3.3 million into escrows related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These escrows will be released back to us upon the cessation of all governmental emergency declarations and certain other performance conditions.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $205.6 million and net cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $84.0 million. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, payments for redemptions and calls of preferred stock totaled approximately $358.6 million, as compared to approximately $82.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020. Repayments of mortgage debt totaled $76.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, versus $173.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.

Distributions

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

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

Our third quarter 2021 Common Stock dividend declaration was $0.175 per share. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.

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

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $153.6 million and our net cash provided by operating activities were approximately $164.9 million. We expect our cash flow from operations over time to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends, Class A Unit distributions and our monthly Preferred Stock dividends.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

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

•the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures;

•capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties;

•costs associated with current and future capital raising activities;

•costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing lending opportunities; and

•our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status.

We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our Series A1/M1 Offering (as defined and described in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.

    On September 27, 2019, our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-233576) (the “Series A1/M1 Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Series A1/M1 Registration Statement allows us to offer up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock or a combination of both. The stated price per share is $1,000, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. The shares are being offered by Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (“PCS”) on a "reasonable best efforts" basis, and we intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the Series A1/M1 Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities and grocery-anchored shopping centers, and making real estate loans and mortgages, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

67

    At September 30, 2021, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:

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

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

During the third quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 37,009 shares of Preferred Stock and redeemed an aggregate of 305,802 shares of Preferred Stock, resulting in a net reduction of 268,793 shares of Preferred Stock, for a net redemption cost of $272.0 million. Also during the third quarter 2021, we issued and sold an aggregate of 1,167,626 shares of Common Stock under our 2019 ATM Offering, generating gross proceeds of approximately $12.9 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $12.7 million.

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

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

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

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

•The anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio;

•The potential for losses and loan extension risk in the portfolio;

•The availability and cost of financing an asset;

•Our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties; and

•The health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general.

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

68

that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $54.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.

69

As of September 30, 2021, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.4 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties, as presented in the following table:

Contractual Obligations

    As of September 30, 2021, our contractual obligations consisted of the mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on a LIBOR rate of 0.08% at September 30, 2021, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:

(In thousands)	Total		Less than one year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than five years
Principal payments:

Total interest	$	614,244	$	84,368	$	159,002	$	138,053	$	232,821

    In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $52.5 million at September 30, 2021.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

	Balance (in thousands)		Percentage of total mortgage indebtedness		LIBOR Cap		All-in Cap
Summit Crossing II	$	20,700			2.5	%	5.3	%
Total capped floating-rate debt	20,700		0.85	%
Champions Village	27,400				—		—
Fairfield Shopping Center	19,750				—		—
Chestnut Farm	51,800				—		—
Total uncapped floating-rate debt	98,950		4.08	%
Total floating-rate debt	$	119,650	4.93	%

    Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.5% over LIBOR as of September 30, 2021; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of the Revolving Line of Credit and Acquisition Credit Facility instruments, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal.

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

•maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;

•place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and

•take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity financings.

We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.

    If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2021, would increase by approximately $821,000 or decrease by approximately $63,000 on an annualized basis.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

    Management of the Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2021, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

    As required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.

Item 5.    Other Information

    Information Security

Board and Committee Oversight

The Company takes risks related to information security seriously. The Company’s Board of Directors has designated its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee responsible for information security and this committee is made up entirely of independent directors. While no member of this committee has information security experience, the Company is bringing educational opportunities to the committee members to give them information and training related to their oversight role. Management has formed an internal Security Committee that reports at least semi-annually to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and/or the full Board on the Company’s cybersecurity risks and mitigation efforts. The role

75

of the Security Committee is to oversee cyber risk assessments, monitor applicable key risk indicators, review cybersecurity training procedures, created oversee our cybersecurity incident response plans and engage third parties to conduct periodic audits and penetration testing. The most recent presentation from the Security Committee occurred at the Company’s quarterly Board meeting on August 5, 2021.

Insurance

The Company has in place an industry standard cyber security insurance policy with Brit Insurance. This policy provides for some coverage for cyber risks arising out of data and network breaches, third party related breaches, and phishing attacks, data manipulation and potential business interruptions, subject to policy limits and per occurrence deductibles.

Incidents and Responses

During the past three years the Company has no material information security breaches. The Company has not had any expenses related to security breaches, security breach penalties or settlements in the past three years.

Training and Audits

In 2021 the Company completed a full third-party audit of its cyber security readiness using the National Institute of Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework. The Company is reviewing the results of this audit and is in the process of preparing responses to the recommendations. As part of the response to these recommendations, the Company has assembled a nine-course training program with Brit. This training program will be rolled out in the near future to all employees as the part of a planned cyber security awareness month at the Company. This training program is required for all current employees and will be required for all new hires.

Third Party Reporting

The Company received a score of 748 in its first ISS Cyber Risk Score Report dated October 13, 2021. The range of ISS Cyber Risk Scores is similar to an individual’s credit score with a range of 300 to 850. In addition to its initial score, the Company ranked first in its peer group in four of the five categories rated in the Score Report.

According to Institutional Shareholder Services, or ISS, the ISS Cyber Risk Score of an organization represents the probabilistic likelihood of a significant cyber incident at the organization in the following twelve months. ISS relies on a supervised machine learning model to develop this score. The model is trained to recognize the historical cyber security symptoms at organizations that did not have similar negative cyber security incidents. This report focuses on presenting the ISS Cyber Risk Score for an organization, as well as a concise presentation of key data measurements and trends. Taken together, these can help organizations to understand the cyber security context at an organization which is being captured by the score. This report also includes comparison metrics that allow the data to be compared to a benchmark peer group. This helps to provide a better understanding of similar measurements and data metrics for a group of peers and their resulting Cyber Risk Scores.
