1. Business of Organization
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States.
The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and, as of June 30, 2020, owned 72.8 % of the economic interest in the Operating Partnership, of which 0.1 % is held as general partnership units. The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company's property portfolio consisted of 51 operating properties and three properties either under development or not yet stabilized.
Refer to Note 5 for information related to the Company's recent acquisitions and dispositions of properties.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and its effects on the domestic and global economies. The pandemic has led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state, and local authorities in the United States, to impose measures intended to control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, and shelter-in-place orders, causing many of the Company’s tenants, particularly in the Company’s retail portfolio, to suspend or limit operations for certain periods of time. We expect to continue to experience effects on our business as the impacts from COVID-19 and the related responses continue to develop. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
7
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified from their prior year classifications to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
Credit losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the "incurred loss" approach under previous guidance with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost, such as the Company's notes receivable, construction receivables, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses.
The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective transition method and recorded a noncash cumulative effect adjustment to record a reduction to retained earnings of $3.0 million, $2.8 million of which relates to the Company's mezzanine loans and $0.2 million of which relates to the Company's construction accounts receivable. See Note 6—Notes Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses, for more information.
Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU is part of the FASB's disclosure framework project to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles. The ASU modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on disclosures in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Lease Modification Accounting Q&A
In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the "Lease Modification Q&A") focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows lessors, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. The Company adopted this guidance during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and elected to not apply the existing lease modification accounting framework in instances where the total payments under a modified lease are substantially the same as or less than the total payments under the existing lease.
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.

3. Segments
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses.
Net operating income of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||

Rental expenses represent costs directly associated with the operation and management of the Company’s real estate properties. Rental expenses include asset management expenses, property management fees, repairs and maintenance, insurance, and utilities.
General contracting and real estate services revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 exclude revenue related to intercompany construction contracts of $8.4 million and $30.0 million, respectively, as it is eliminated in consolidation. General contracting and real estate services revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 exclude revenue related to intercompany construction contracts of $21.5 million and $60.2 million, respectively.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 exclude expenses related to intercompany construction contracts of $8.3 million and $29.7 million, respectively. General contracting and real estate services expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 exclude expenses related to intercompany construction contracts of $21.3 million and $59.6 million, respectively.

4. Leases
Lessee Disclosures
As a lessee, the Company has eight ground leases on seven properties with initial terms that range from 5 to 65 years and options to extend up to an additional 70 years in certain cases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Six of these leases have been classified as operating leases and two of these leases have been classified as finance leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Lessor Disclosures
As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.

5. Real Estate Investment
Property Acquisitions
On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a mixed-use property in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Company has an 80 % interest in 10th and Tryon Partners, LLC (the "Tryon Partnership"). On January 10, 2020, the Tryon Partnership purchased land for a purchase price of $6.3 million for this project. The Company is responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development, including the $6.3 million purchase of the land. Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to fund its operations without additional financial support. The Company is the developer of the project and has the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance and is the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is the project's primary beneficiary and consolidates the Tryon Partnership in its consolidated financial statements.
On September 12, 2019, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a mixed-use property in Belmont, North Carolina. The Company has an 85 % interest in Chronicle Holdings, LLC (the "Chronicle Partnership"). On March 20, 2020, the Chronicle Partnership purchased land for a purchase price of $2.3 million for this project. The Company is responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development, including the $2.3 million purchase of the land. Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to fund its operations without additional financial support. The Company is the developer of the project and has the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance and is the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is the project's primary beneficiary and consolidates the Chronicle Partnership in its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2020, the Company exercised its option to purchase the remaining 21 % ownership interest in 1405 Point in exchange for increased ground lease payments to be made over the approximately 42 -year remaining lease term. The Company recorded a note payable of $6.1 million, which represents the present value of these payments. The ground lessor is an affiliate of our former joint venture partner.
Property Disposition
On May 29, 2020, the Company sold a portfolio of seven retail properties for $90.0 million. The portfolio consists of Alexander Pointe, Bermuda Crossroads, Gainsborough Square, Harper Hill Commons, Indian Lakes Crossing, Renaissance Square, and Stone House Square. The gain on sale was $2.8 million. In connection with the sale of this portfolio, the Company repaid $61.9 million on the revolving credit facility, resulting in net proceeds of $25.9 million.
The Company has designated proceeds from the sale of Alexander Pointe, Bermuda Crossroads, and Gainsborough Square as part of a like-kind exchange for tax purposes. The Company plans to use these proceeds for its purchase of Nexton Square in the third or fourth quarter of 2020. In the event that all or some of these proceeds are not used for the purchase of Nexton Square or another suitable acquisition, the Company may be subject to tax indemnification payments under the terms of the Company's tax protection agreements with certain limited partners in the Operating Partnership.

Delray Plaza
On March 3, 2020, the Delray Plaza loan was modified to increase the maximum amount of the loan to $17.0 million, with $2.0 million of additional funds borrowed at an interest rate of 6 % in order to fund final development activities. The borrower pledged 125,832 Class A Units as additional collateral for this loan.
12
Interlock Commercial
In May 2020, the Company modified the Interlock Commercial loan to allow for an additional $8.0 million of loan funding; this additional loan funding may be available for cost overruns as well as the building of townhome units as an additional phase of this development project. The borrower also modified the senior construction loan on the project. As part of this modification, the Company agreed to increase its payment guaranty for this senior loan to $34.3 million.
Current Expected Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its mezzanine lending activities. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had five mezzanine loans, all of which are secured by second liens on development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s mezzanine loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development.
The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on the progress of development activities including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior construction loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
• | Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions. |
• | Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management. |
• | Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company may also consider placing the loan on nonaccrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected. |
On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the risk inherent in its loans to industry loan loss data experienced during past business cycles. The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Company obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings as of March 31, 2020.
The following table presents amortized cost basis of the portfolio by year of origination and risk rating as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loan, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, there were no loans on nonaccrual status. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company placed the loans for Delray Plaza and The Residences at Annapolis Junction on nonaccrual status with total amortized cost basis of $57.3 million. As a result, there was $2.6 million of interest income not recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
7. Construction Contracts
Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones, or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of June 30, 2020 during the next twelve months.
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.
The following table summarizes the changes to the balances in the Company’s construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings account and the billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings account for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

8. Indebtedness
Credit Facility
The Company has a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019, which provides for a $355.0 million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be further increased to $700.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075 % extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.30 % to 1.85 % and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25 % to 1.80 %, in each case depending on the Company's total leverage. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $80.0 million and $110.0 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $205.0 million, as of both of those dates. As of June 30, 2020, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 1.76 % and 1.71 %, respectively. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty. On May 29, 2020, in conjunction with the sale of seven unencumbered operating properties, the Company repaid $61.9 million on the revolving credit facility. As a result of the sale and related reduction in our unencumbered base, borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $100.0 million as of June 30, 2020 from $150.0 million.
15
The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants governing the credit facility.
Other 2020 Financing Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $31.6 million under its existing construction loans to fund new development and construction.
In April 2020, the Company proactively obtained a waiver from the lender for the Premier Retail/Apartments loan wherein the Company does not have to meet the minimum debt service coverage requirement for the period ended June 30, 2020. The Company also proactively obtained a waiver from the lender for the 249 Central Park, Fountain Plaza Retail, and South Retail properties wherein the Company does not have to meet the minimum debt service coverage requirement for the period ended June 30, 2020 and the period ending December 31, 2020.
In June 2020, the Company exercised its option to purchase the remaining 21 % ownership interest in 1405 Point in exchange for increased ground lease payments to be made over the approximately 42 -year remaining lease term. The Company recorded a note payable of $6.1 million, which represents the present value of these payments. The ground lessor is an affiliate of our former joint venture partner.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the applicable terms of all loan covenants after giving effect to the waivers granted.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company recorded a note payable of $6.1 million, which represents the present value of these payments over the approximately 42 -year remaining lease term. The $2.4 million difference between the present value of these payments and the extinguishment of the existing noncontrolling interest balance was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

Non-employee director restricted stock awards vest either immediately upon grant or over a period of one year , subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to receive dividends from their grant date.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued performance-based awards in the form of restricted stock units to certain employees. The performance period for these awards is three years , with a required two-year service period immediately following the expiration of the performance period in order to fully vest. The compensation expense and the effect on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares calculation were immaterial. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 10,600 shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $18.08 per share due to the partial vesting of performance units awarded to certain employees in 2017.
During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $0.5 million of stock-based compensation cost for each period. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. As of June 30, 2020, there were 168,511 nonvested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares was $1.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 21 months.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to estimate the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
19
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):
June 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||||||||||

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe
20
that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs, and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.

Acquisitions
On January 10, 2020, we purchased land in Charlotte, North Carolina for a purchase price of $6.3 million for the development of a mixed-use property.
On March 20, 2020, we purchased land in Belmont, North Carolina for a purchase price of $2.3 million for the development of a mixed-use property.
Dispositions
On May 29, 2020, we sold a portfolio of seven retail properties for $90.0 million. The portfolio consisted of Alexander Pointe, Bermuda Crossroads, Gainsborough Square, Harper Hill Commons, Indian Lakes Crossing, Renaissance Square, and Stone House Square. The gain on sale was $2.8 million. In connection with the sale of this portfolio, we repaid $61.9 million on the revolving credit facility, resulting in net proceeds of $25.9 million.
We have designated proceeds from the sale of Alexander Pointe, Bermuda Crossroads, and Gainsborough Square as part of a like-kind exchange for tax purposes. We plan to use these proceeds for its purchase of Nexton Square in the third or fourth quarter of 2020. In the event that all or some of these proceeds are not used for the purchase of Nexton Square or another suitable acquisition, we may be subject to tax indemnification payments under the terms of our tax protection agreements with certain limited partners in the Operating Partnership.
Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
Overview
In light of the changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty regarding the duration, severity, and possible resurgence of the pandemic in future periods, the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business is currently unknown and unquantifiable. While the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the U.S. economy and the U.S. real estate industry remains to be seen, the pandemic has already presented significant challenges for us and many of our tenants. In the near-term, we and many of our tenants are focusing on implementing contingency plans to manage business disruptions caused by the pandemic and related actions intended to mitigate its spread. In the long-term, REITs and other real estate companies might need to re-assess and consider modifying their operating models, underwriting criteria, and liquidity position to mitigate the impacts of future economic downturns, including as a result of the potential resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in future months, the timing, severity, and duration of which cannot be predicted.
We anticipate the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 and the related actions intended to mitigate its spread will continue to adversely affect business activity, particularly relating to our retail tenants, across the markets in which we operate. We have observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of business closures or significantly limited operations in our retail portfolio, with the exception of tenants operating in certain "essential" businesses, which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments, increased requests from tenants for temporary rental relief and potentially permanent closure of certain businesses. We expect these conditions to continue in varying duration and severity until such time when the COVID-19 pandemic is effectively contained. When COVID-19 is contained, depending on the rate and effectiveness of the containment efforts deployed by various national, state, and local governments, we anticipate a rebound in economic activity, although we are unable to predict the nature, timing, and sustainability of an economic recovery.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, we took proactive, aggressive actions to adopt social distancing policies at our offices, properties, and construction jobsites, including: transitioning our office employees to a remote work environment during certain periods of time, which was greatly assisted by recent enhancements to our IT systems; limiting the number of employees attending in-person meetings; implementing a company-wide ban on most travel; and ensuring all construction jobsites continue to comply with state and local social distancing and other health and safety protocols implemented by the Company.
To further strengthen our financial flexibility and efficiently manage through the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, our Board of Directors temporarily suspended the payment of quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common units for the second quarter of 2020. As a result of improvement in general economic conditions and the Company’s operating performance, our Board of Directors reinstated quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common units with a dividend of $0.11 per share and unit, payable in cash on October 8, 2020 to stockholders and unitholders of record on September 30, 2020.
26
In addition, Lou Haddad, our President and Chief Executive Officer, voluntarily elected to reduce his base compensation by 25%, and each of our directors, including Dan Hoffler and Russ Kirk, voluntarily elected to reduce their cash retainers and annual equity awards by 25%, in each case effective as of May 1, 2020.
From an operational perspective, we have remained in regular communication with our tenants, property managers, and vendors, and, where appropriate, have provided guidance relating to the availability of government relief programs that could support our tenants’ businesses. In response to the market and industry trends, we also have pursued, and expect to continue to pursue, cost-saving initiatives to align our overall cost structure, including proactively deferring previously announced development activity at several of our projects, postponing certain acquisition activity, slowing down redevelopment activity at The Cosmopolitan, and suspending non-essential capital expenditures. Although we believe these measures and other measures we may implement in the future will help mitigate the financial impacts of the pandemic on our business, there can be no assurances that we will accurately forecast the impact of adverse economic conditions on our business or that we will effectively align our cost structure, capital investments, and other expenditures with our revenue and spending levels in the future.
To evaluate market trends affecting public REITs across asset classes and to assess our response to COVID-19 relative to our peers, we have been monitoring information that has been released by public REITs, summary data released by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and other publicly available sources, and information obtained during our regular discussions with tenants. While we view information gathered from publicly available sources as helpful in assessing broader trends affecting the commercial real estate industry, we can provide no assurances that the estimates and assumptions used in preparing this third-party information are applicable to our business or ultimately will prove to be accurate. In addition, our asset management team, together with the rest of senior management, has dedicated significant resources to monitoring detailed portfolio performance on a real-time basis, including rent collections, requests for rent relief and uncollected payments, as well as negotiating rent deferments and other relief with certain of our tenants.
We will continue to actively monitor the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our tenants’ businesses and may take further actions to alter our business practices if we determine that such changes are in the best interests of our employees, tenants, residents, stockholders, and third-party construction customers, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects of such alterations or modifications, if any, may have on our business, including the effects on our tenants and residents and the corresponding impact on our results of operations and financial condition for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and thereafter.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the United States. We continue to assess the potential impacts of this and subsequent legislation, including our eligibility and our tenants for funding under programs designed to provide financial assistance to U.S. businesses. We have availed ourselves of the option to defer payment of the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes that would otherwise have been owed from the date of enactment of the CARES Act through December 31, 2020.
We believe the diversification of our business across multiple asset classes (i.e., office, retail and multifamily), together with our third-party construction business, will help to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business to a greater extent than if our business were concentrated in a single asset class. However, as discussed in greater detail below, we expect the impact of the pandemic to continue to have a particularly adverse effect on many of our retail tenants, which will continue to adversely affect our results of operations even if the performance of our office and multifamily assets and our construction business remain close to historical levels. Furthermore, if the impacts of the pandemic continue for an extended period of time, we expect that certain office tenants and multifamily residents will experience greater financial distress, which could result in late payments, requests for rental relief, business closures, decreases in occupancy, reductions in rent, or increases in rent concessions or other accommodations, as applicable.
Operating Property Portfolio
Office Tenants
As of July 31, 2020, we had collected 100% of office tenant rent due for the second quarter of 2020 and 100% of office tenant rent for the month of July 2020. Data reported corresponds to tenant type and does not correspond to the reporting segment classification of the properties as a whole.
27
Retail Tenants
In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, state and local governments have enacted various measures at various times, including orders to close all businesses not deemed essential, isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. These government-imposed measures, coupled with customers reducing their purchasing activity in light of health concerns or personal financial distress, have resulted in significant disruptions to retail businesses around the country, including in the markets in which we own retail assets.
As of July 31, 2020, we had collected 72% of retail tenant rent due for the second quarter and 86% of retail tenant rent due for the month of July 2020. The Company recorded $0.9 million in bad debt charges for the second quarter, which is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues and was primarily the result of retail tenant delinquencies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The chart below sets forth certain information regarding the second quarter rent collections and other information for our retail portfolio as of July 31, 2020. Data reported relates to rent charges and collections through July 31, 2020 and does not correspond to the reporting segment classification of the properties as a whole. Data reported excludes tenant base rent and common area maintenance income from the seven-property portfolio sold in second quarter of 2020 and excludes bad debt tied to non-COVID related receivable write-offs ($ in thousands):

(2) | As a percentage of second quarter 2020 rent and recovery charges. |
Multifamily Tenants
As of July 31, 2020, we had collected 99% of multifamily tenant rent due for the second quarter of 2020 and 97% of multifamily tenant rent due for the month of July 2020. Data reported corresponds to tenant type and does not correspond to the reporting segment classification of the properties as a whole.
Due to actions taken by state governments and limited working capacity for government courts and agencies, certain properties in our multifamily portfolio were subject to increased restrictions that limited our ability to evict tenants or charge late fees through June 30, 2020. Certain of those restrictions have been lifted and many government courts and agencies have re-opened; however, there may be similar restrictions and limited working capacity for government courts and agencies in the future. The restrictions that remain in place for 1405 Point and Johns Hopkins Village, both located in Baltimore, MD, are detailed below:

• | City restrictions in place which prohibit rent increases, notices of increases, or assessment of late fees during the Maryland state of emergency. These restrictions will be in place until the governor's state of emergency is lifted and for ninety (90) days thereafter. |
• | State restrictions in place which prohibit evictions of tenants affected by COVID-19. Evictions cannot be processed until the state of emergency is terminated and the catastrophic health emergency is rescinded. The governor’s state of emergency order was renewed again on July 31, 2020. |
Furthermore, the restriction on evictions in the State of Maryland applies to both our commercial and residential properties located in that state.
Construction and Development Business
As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all of our construction jobsites remain open and operational, and we intend to continue third-party construction work unless government-imposed restrictions are implemented that prohibit or significantly restrict the continuation of construction work. As of June 30, 2020, we had a third-party construction backlog of approximately $193.7 million.
With respect to our development pipeline, we proactively deferred the Chronicle Mill, Southern Post, and Ten Tryon development projects in order to provide additional balance sheet flexibility until economic conditions stabilize, each of which had previously been scheduled to commence during the second quarter of 2020. The Summit Place project was completed in June 2020, and portions of the Wills Wharf project were completed during the second quarter of 2020. The Wills Wharf project has sufficient construction loan commitments to fund the remaining estimated costs to complete; however, the disruption in global supply chains and our desire to prioritize the health and safety of our workforce may cause delays.
Mezzanine Lending Program
We continue to monitor the development projects securing our five mezzanine loans:
Delray Plaza: The developer continues to market this project for sale to a third party, resulting in an extended hold period for this loan. Effective April 1, 2020, we have stopped recognizing interest on this loan for accounting purposes since collection of additional interest accruals is less certain. Interest will continue to accrue on this loan and will be due and payable by the developer upon a capital event.
The Residences at Annapolis Junction: The developer of this project continues to lease up the project and market it to potential buyers. These activities have taken longer than originally anticipated and include the recent appointment of a new property management company. Effective April 1, 2020, we have stopped recognizing interest on this loan for accounting purposes since collection of additional interest accruals is less certain. The developer plans to sell the project once it is stabilized.
Nexton Square: We plan to exercise our option to purchase Nexton Square once the project is stabilized. Development activities are nearing completion, and this purchase option still appears to be economically advantageous to us.
Solis Apartments at Interlock: This project is estimated to be completed during the second quarter of 2021. Current estimates of future operating results and projected sales proceeds from this project continue to support the full collection of our principal and interest upon sale of the project.
Interlock Commercial: This project is estimated to be completed during the second quarter of 2021. In May 2020, we modified the mezzanine loan to allow for an additional $8.0 million of loan funding for purposes of building townhome units as an additional phase of this development project. Current estimates of future operating results and projected sales proceeds from this project continue to support the full collection of our principal and interest upon sale of the project.
With the exception of the additional commitment for the Interlock Commercial project, there are no remaining funding commitments for the outstanding mezzanine loans. We continue to monitor leasing activity at these projects, as applicable, and will monitor the impact of COVID-19 on leasing activity and development activity at each of these projects.

Segment Results of Operations
As of June 30, 2020, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

Office segment NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 43.0% and 60.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. The increases relate primarily to the commencement of operations at Brooks Crossing office in April 2019, the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf in June 2019, and the commencement of operations at a portion of Wills Wharf in June 2020. In addition, the acquisition of One City Center in March 2019 contributed to the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020

Office same store NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 7.2% and 5.3%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. The decreases relate primarily to the relocation of the Company’s construction division to space within Armada Hoffler Tower which became vacant after a tenant chose to downsize. The Company’s construction division previously occupied space at an adjacent property that is classified as retail for segment reporting purposes. Rental revenue from the Company’s construction division is eliminated for consolidation purposes. This decrease was partially offset by increased occupancy across the rest of the same store office portfolio.

Office rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 42.2% and 59.9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019 primarily as a result of the commencement of operations at Brooks Crossing office in April 2019, the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf in June 2019, and the commencement of operations at a portion of Wills Wharf in June 2020. In addition, the acquisition of One City Center in March 2019 contributed to the increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Retail rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 2.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the disposal of Lightfoot Marketplace in August 2019, the loss of Dick’s Sporting Goods at Town Center beginning February 2020, and the disposal of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as a $0.8 million increase in the allowance for bad debt (recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These decreases were partially offset by the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. Retail rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 7.2% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek in April 2019 and the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. The increase was partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in the allowance for bad debt (recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the disposal of Lightfoot Marketplace in August 2019, the loss of Dick’s Sporting Goods at Town Center beginning February 2020, and the disposal of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020.
Multifamily rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 9.7% and 25.4%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily as a result of higher occupancy at Greenside Apartments and Premier Apartments, both of which were in lease-up in the first six months of 2019, the acquisition of 1405 Point in April 2019, and the commencement of operations at Hoffler Place in August 2019.
General contracting and real estate services revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 167.7% and 172.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, due to the high backlog at December 31, 2019 resulting in increased activity during the first six months of 2020.
Rental expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $0.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, as follows (in thousands):

decreased costs for repairs and maintenance and utilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Retail rental expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 0.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek in April 2019 and the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. Those increases were mostly offset by decreased costs for repairs and maintenance and utilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the disposal of Lightfoot Marketplace in August 2019, the loss of Dick’s Sporting Goods at Town Center beginning February 2020, and the disposal of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020.

Office real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 88.1% and 101.4%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily due to the commencement of operations at Brooks Crossing office in April 2019, the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf in June 2019, and the commencement of operations at a portion of Wills Wharf in June 2020.

Retail real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 6.0% and 12.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily due to the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek in April 2019 and the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. The increase was partially offset by the disposal of Lightfoot Marketplace in August 2019 and the disposal of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020.
Multifamily real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 10.3% and 19.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily as a result of the increased assessments at Premier Apartments and Hoffler Place as well as the acquisition of 1405 Point in April 2019.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 175.0% and 177.1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, due to the high backlog at December 31, 2019 resulting in increased activity during the first six months of 2020.
Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 2.0% and 19.9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, as a result of development properties placed in service.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 71.8% and 244.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily due to the expense being recognized for the full period in 2020. There were no right-of-use-assets recorded by the Company prior to the second quarter of 2019.
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 1.3% and 6.8%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily as a result of higher compensation expense and benefit costs from increased employee headcount.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 780.7% and 15.8%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, due to the write off of costs relating to certain potential development projects and operating properties that were abandoned.
36
Impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 relate to tenants that vacated prior to their lease expiration.
Gain on real estate dispositions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 relates to the sale of a portfolio of seven retail properties on May 29, 2020. There were no real estate dispositions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 21.1% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as result of two loans being placed on nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2020. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 6.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to higher notes receivable balances from increased loan funding, which was partially offset by the two loans placed on nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2020.
Interest expense on indebtedness for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 6.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the overall decline in variable interest rates, the disposition of several properties, and the refinance of several loans at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. Interest expense on indebtedness for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 11.8% compared to the corresponding period in 2019, primarily due to increased borrowings on the property loans.
Interest expense on finance leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased relative to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily due to expense being recognized for the full period in 2020. The Company did not have finance leases prior to the second quarter of 2019.
Equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 relates to our investment in One City Center from January 1, 2019 to March 14, 2019, which was an unconsolidated real estate investment during this period.
The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 experienced significant decreases of 99.7% and 48.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, primarily due to more significant decreases in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) during the 2019 periods.
Unrealized credit loss release (provision) relates to increased expected loan losses due to changes in economic conditions and changes in the status of development projects that secure our mezzanine loans. The adoption of the new credit loss standard on January 1, 2020 generally has the effect of requiring us to recognize expected loan losses sooner than under the previous standard. Adjustments to these expected losses have not been significant.
Other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased over 100%, compared to the corresponding periods in 2019 primarily due to insurance claims made in order to recover the costs to the Company for minor repairs made to three of our properties.
The income tax provision and benefits that we recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented various measures to preserve our short-term liquidity position and manage our cash flow, as described below under "Responses to COVID-19." In the short-term, our liquidity requirements are expected to consist of operating expenses, required capital expenditures, dividend payments to holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, debt service, and funding commitments relating to certain development projects. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans, and if market conditions permit, net proceeds from the sale of common stock or preferred stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program, which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, capital improvements, and mezzanine loan funding requirements. As discussed below, we have proactively deferred previously announced development
37
activity at several of our projects and suspended non-essential capital expenditures. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, sales of operating real estate properties, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. In the future, subject to available borrowing capacity, we may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of June 30, 2020, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $71.0 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of $4.1 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of June 30, 2020, we had $20.0 million of available borrowings under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $27.8 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund development activities.
We have no loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2020.
Responses to COVID-19
On April 28, 2020, our Board of Directors reviewed the Company’s dividend policy and determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company, its stockholders, and its OP unitholders to temporarily suspend the payment of quarterly cash dividends to common stockholders and quarterly distributions to holders of Class A common units as a measure to preserve liquidity in light of the uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. Our Board of Directors did not suspend the payment of dividends on shares of our Series A Preferred Stock.
As a result of improvement in general economic conditions and our operating performance, our Board of Directors reinstated quarterly cash dividends on shares of our common stock and Class A common units with dividend of $0.11 per share and unit, payable on October 8, 2020 to stockholders and OP unitholders of record on September 30, 2020.
Going forward we will continue to monitor our projected taxable income for 2020 and plan to distribute sufficient dividends to maintain our status as a REIT. We can provide no assurances that dividends and distributions paid per share of common stock and per Class A common unit, respectively, will return to an amount equal to the dividends and distributions paid for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
In addition, in an effort to strengthen our financial flexibility and efficiently manage through the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, Lou Haddad, our President and Chief Executive Officer, voluntarily elected to reduce his base salary by 25%, and each of our directors, including Dan Hoffler and Russ Kirk, voluntarily elected to reduce their cash retainers and the value of their annual equity awards by 25%, in each case effective as of May 1, 2020.
We proactively deferred the Chronicle Mill, Southern Post, and Ten Tryon development projects in order to provide additional balance sheet flexibility until economic conditions stabilize. We have also slowed down redevelopment activities at The Cosmopolitan.
ATM Program
On February 26, 2018, we commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "Prior ATM Program"), which was amended on August 6, 2019, through which we could, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $180.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we issued and sold 92,577 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $18.23 per share under the Prior ATM Program, receiving net proceeds after offering costs and commissions of $1.7 million.
On March 10, 2020, we commenced a new at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser. Upon commencing the ATM Program, we simultaneously terminated the Prior ATM Program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued and sold 486,727 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $9.28 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds after offering costs and commissions, of $4.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we issued and sold 3,830 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at a weighted average price of $24.14 per share, receiving net proceeds after offering costs and commissions of $0.1 million. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $277.5 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of August 5, 2020.
38
In July 2020, we sold an aggregate of 166,630 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $10.16 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $1.7 million. In July 2020, we sold an aggregate of 709,588 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a weighted average price of $22.87 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $16.0 million.
Credit Facility
We have a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019. The total commitments are $355.0 million, comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital. On May 29, 2020, in conjunction with the sale of seven unencumbered operating properties, we repaid $61.9 million on the revolving credit facility. As a result of the sale and related reduction in our unencumbered base, borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $100.0 million as of June 30, 2020 from $150.0 million.
In July 2020, we decreased its borrowings under the revolving credit facility by $32.0 million, bringing the outstanding balance down to $48.0 million.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $700.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from S&P or Moody’s, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings. We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
• | Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility); |
• | Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0; |
• | Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $567,106,000 and amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2019; |
• | Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%; |
• | Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%; |
• | Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility); |
• | Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0; |
• | Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time; |
• | Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time; and |
• | Maximum aggregate rental revenue from any single tenant of not more than 30% of rental revenues with respect to all leases of unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement). |
39
The credit agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and Operating Partnership units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement. In light of the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we proactively engaged with the lenders under our credit facility to discuss our potential options should we need to obtain a waiver or modification of certain financial covenants to avoid non-compliance in future periods.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $21.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily as a result of result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities as well as increased net operating income from the property portfolio.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by investing activities was $17.7 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $246.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The variance was caused primarily by the decreased development activity and more cash received from disposition of operating properties in 2020 as opposed to significant operating property acquisitions during the 2019 period. These changes were partially offset by more funding of notes receivable in 2019.
Net cash used by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $35.9 million compared to the net cash provided by financing activities of $220.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The variance primarily was caused by decreased net proceeds from equity issuances.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely
43
recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives, provision for unrealized credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the "incurred loss" approach under previous guidance with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost, such as the Company's notes receivable, construction receivables, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses.
We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective transition method and recorded a noncash cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $3.0 million, $2.8 million of which relates to our mezzanine loans and $0.2 million of which relates to our construction accounts receivable. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the Company's market risk since December 31, 2019. For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk, refer to the Company's market risk disclosure set forth in Part II, Item 7, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of June 30, 2020, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
