SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), the authoritative reference for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) noted below in Note 2. The interim financial data as of September 30, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. In the Company’s opinion, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Investments and Lease Intangibles

Entities are required to evaluate whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (and dispositions) of assets or businesses. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Generally, a real estate asset and its related leases will be considered a single identifiable asset and therefore will not meet the definition of a business. If the real estate and related leases in an acquisition are determined to be an asset and not a business, then the acquisition related costs would be capitalized onto the consolidated balance sheets. Otherwise, such costs will be expensed upon completion of the transaction.

The carrying value of the real estate investments are reviewed to ascertain if there are any indicators of impairment. Factors considered include the type of asset, the economic situation in the area in which the asset is located, the economic situation in the industry in which a tenant is involved and the timeliness of the payments made by a tenant under its lease, as well as any current correspondence that may have been had with a tenant, including property inspection reports. A real estate investment is potentially impaired if the undiscounted cash flows over the expected hold period are less than the real estate investment’s carrying amount. In this case, an impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the estimated fair value is lower than the real estate investment’s carrying amount. The estimated fair value is determined primarily using information contained within independent appraisals obtained

quarterly by the Company from its independent valuation agent or other third-party appraisers. Real estate investments that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, none of the Company's real estate investments were impaired.

Organization and Offering Costs

Organizational expenses and other expenses which do not qualify as offering costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs are those costs incurred by the Company, RREEF America and its affiliates on behalf of the Company which relate directly to the Company’s activities of raising capital in the Offerings, preparing for the Offerings, the qualification and registration of the Offerings and the marketing and distribution of the Company’s shares. This includes, but is not limited to, accounting and legal fees, including the legal fees of the dealer manager for the public offerings, costs for registration statement amendments and prospectus supplements, printing, mailing and distribution costs, filing fees, amounts to reimburse RREEF America as the Company’s advisor or its affiliates for the salaries of employees and other costs in connection with preparing supplemental sales literature, amounts to reimburse the dealer manager for amounts that it may pay to reimburse the bona fide due diligence expenses of any participating broker-dealers supported by detailed and itemized invoices, telecommunication costs, fees of the transfer agent, registrars, trustees, depositories and experts, the cost of educational conferences held by the Company (including the travel, meal and lodging costs of registered representatives of any participating broker-dealers) and attendance fees and cost reimbursement for employees of affiliates to attend retail seminars conducted by broker-dealers. Offering costs will be paid from the proceeds of the Offerings. These costs will be treated as a reduction of the total proceeds. Total organization and offering costs incurred by the Company with respect to a particular Offering will not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds from such particular Offering. In addition, the Company will not reimburse RREEF America or the dealer manager for any underwriting compensation (a subset of organization and offering costs) which would cause the Company’s total underwriting compensation to exceed 10% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of a particular offering.

Included in offering costs are (1) distribution fees paid on a trailing basis at the rate of (a) 0.50% per annum on the NAV of the outstanding Class A Shares, (b) 1.00% per annum for approximately three years on the NAV of the outstanding Class T Shares, and (c) 0.85% per annum for approximately 6.5 years on the NAV of the outstanding Class S and Class T2 Shares, and (2) dealer manager fees paid on a trailing basis at the rate of 0.55% per annum on the NAV of the outstanding Class A and Class I Shares (collectively, the "Trailing Fees"). The Trailing Fees are computed daily based on the respective NAV of each share class as of the beginning of each day and paid monthly. However, at each reporting date, the Company accrues an estimate for the amount of Trailing Fees that ultimately may be paid on the outstanding shares. Such estimate reflects the Company's assumptions for certain variables, including future redemptions, share price appreciation and the total gross proceeds raised or to be raised during each Offering. In addition, the estimated accrual for future Trailing Fees as of a given reporting date may be reduced by the aforementioned limits on total organization and offering costs and total underwriting compensation. Changes in this estimate will be recorded prospectively as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued $14,107 and $6,221, respectively, in Trailing Fees to be payable in the future, which was included in due to affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842), and related ASU's that amended or clarified certain provisions of ASC 842, the Company elected a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components of a lease and instead accounts for them as a single component if two criteria are met: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same, and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The Company evaluates the lease and non-lease components within its all of its leases under the practical expedient and reports rental and other property income and

common area expense reimbursement income as a single component on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Contractual base rental revenue from real estate leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The differences between contractual base rental revenue earned from real estate leases on a straight-line basis and amounts due under the respective lease agreements are amortized or accreted, as applicable, to deferred rent receivable. Property related income will also include amortization of above- and below-market leases as well as amortization of lease incentives. Revenues relating to lease termination fees for the termination of an entire lease will be recognized at the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is terminated and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Under ASC 842, the future revenue stream from leases must be evaluated for collectibility. Pursuant to these provisions, if an entity has determined that the collectibility of substantially all future lease payments from a particular lease is not at least probable, then the entity must write off its existing receivable balances (except receivable amounts which are under dispute by the tenant), including any deferred rent amounts recognized on a straight-line basis, and instead begin recognizing revenue from such lease on cash basis. The factors used to evaluate the collectibility of future lease payments for each lease may include, but not be limited to, the tenant's payment history, current payment status, publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant and other information about the tenant of which the entity may be aware. The Company is closely monitoring its tenants in light of the recent and ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has assessed that substantially all of its future lease payments are at least probable.

To the extent the Company's revenues do not qualify for treatment under ASC 842 or under other specific guidance, the Company is required to recognize revenue in its financial statements in a manner that depicts the transfer of the promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company is entitled at the time of transfer of those goods or services. Such treatment may apply to other types of real estate related contracts, such as for dispositions or development of real estate.

Investment income from marketable securities is accrued at each distribution record date.

Net Earnings or Loss Per Share

Net earnings or loss per share is calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method is utilized when an entity (1) has different classes of common stock that participate differently in net earnings or loss, or (2) has issued participating securities, which are securities that participate in distributions separately from the entity’s common stock. Pursuant to the advisory agreement between the Company and its advisor (see Note 8), the advisor may earn a performance component of the advisory fee which is calculated separately for each class of common stock which therefore may result in a different allocation of net earnings or loss to each class of common stock. In addition, the Company has granted shares of its Class I common stock to its independent directors (see Note 9), which qualify as participating securities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had cash on deposit at multiple financial institutions which were in excess of federally insured levels. The Company limits significant cash holdings to accounts held by financial institutions with a high credit standing. Therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, all unrestricted short-term investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. The combined cash balances at each institution periodically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. The Company believes the risk is not significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), which provides guidance for determining the fair value and its application to lease classification and measurement for lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, referred to as qualifying lessors. For qualifying lessors, the fair value of the underlying asset at lease commencement would be its cost, including any acquisition costs, however if a significant amount of time has elapsed between the asset acquisition date and the lease commencement, the fair value would be based on the guidance in ASC 820. ASU 2019-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2019-01 and determined the adoption did not have a material impact.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, (Topic 848), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the application of GAAP to modifications of certain contracts (generally, receivables, debt obligations and leases) and hedging relationships to ease the financial burdens of the expected market transitions from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022 to certain contract modifications as well as qualifying existing and new hedge relationships. Generally, ASU 2020-04 allows an entity to not re-assess certain aspects of the contract or hedge modification thereby allowing the contract or hedge accounting to be similar to how such contract or hedge was accounted for prior to the reference rate reform. While the adoption of any of the expedients is optional at any time through December 31, 2022, if an entity were to adopt any of the optional expedients, then such expedient must be applied consistently to all similar contracts. The Company's line of credit has an interest rate that is based on LIBOR and the Company does not have any hedging relationships. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-04 may have on its consolidated financial statements as well as the applicability of ASU 2020-04 to the Company's other material contracts.

On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a question and answer document regarding accounting for lease concessions and other effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The document clarifies that entities may elect a practical expedient to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide lessees to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects this practical expedient can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract vs. assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Generally, the Company is adopting the practical expedient for rent deferral agreements and is not adopting the practical expedient for rent abatement agreements (see Note 5).
