Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Medalist Diversified Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”) is a Maryland corporation formed on September 28, 2015. Beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the REIT has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes. The REIT serves as the general partner of Medalist Diversified Holdings, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) which was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on September 29, 2015. As of June 30, 2019, the REIT, through the Operating Partnership, owned and operated three properties, the Shops at Franklin Square, a 134,239 square foot retail property located in Gastonia, North Carolina (the “Franklin Square Property”), the Greensboro Airport Hampton Inn, a hotel with 125 rooms on 2.162 acres in Greensboro, North Carolina (the “Hampton Inn Property”), and the Shops at Hanover Square North (the “Hanover Square Property”), a 73,440 square foot retail property located in Mechanicsville, Virginia. The Company owns 64 percent of the Hampton Inn Property as a tenant in common with a noncontrolling owner which owns the remaining 36 percent interest. The Company owns 84 percent of the Hanover Square Property as a tenant in common with a noncontrolling owner which owns the remaining 16 percent interest.

The use of the word “Company” refers to the REIT and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires. The Company includes the REIT, the Operating Partnership, wholly owned limited liability corporations which own or operate the properties, and the taxable REIT subsidiary which operates the Hampton Inn Property. As a REIT, certain tax laws limit the amount of “non-qualifying” income that Company can earn, including income derived directly from the operation of hotels. As a result, the Company and the tenant in common (“TIC”) noncontrolling owner, lease its consolidated hotel property to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. The TRS is subject to income tax and is not limited as to the amount of nonqualifying income it can generate, but it is limited in terms of its value as a percentage of the total value of the Company’s assets. The TRS enters into an agreement with a third party to manage the operations of the hotel. The Company prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). References to the consolidated financial statements and references to individual financial statements included herein, reference the condensed consolidated financial statements or the respective individual condensed financial statement. All material balances and transactions between the consolidated entities of the Company have been eliminated.

The Company was formed to acquire, reposition, renovate, lease and manage income-producing properties, with a primary focus on (i) commercial properties, including flex-industrial, limited service hotels, and retail properties, and (ii) multi-family residential properties in secondary and tertiary markets in the southeastern part of the United States, with an expected concentration in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. The Company may also pursue, in an opportunistic manner, other real estate-related investments, including, among other things, equity or other ownership interests in entities that are the direct or indirect owners of real property, indirect investments in real property, such as those that may be obtained in a joint venture. While these types of investments are not intended to be a primary focus, the Company may make such investments in its Manager’s discretion.

The Company is externally managed by Medalist Fund Manager, Inc. (the ‘‘Manager’’). The Manager makes all investment decisions for the Company. The Manager and its affiliated companies specialize in acquiring, developing, owning and managing value-added commercial real estate in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. The Manager oversees the Company’s overall business and affairs and has broad discretion to make operating decisions on behalf of the Company and to make investment decisions. The Company’s stockholders are not involved in its day-today affairs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Properties

As of January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. As a result, the acquisitions that occurred in 2017 and 2018 qualified as asset acquisitions and most of the Company’s future acquisitions of operating properties will qualify as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, third-party transaction costs associated with these acquisitions have been and will be capitalized, while internal acquisition costs will continue to be expensed.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 mandates that “an acquiring entity shall allocate the cost of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at date of acquisition.” ASC 805 results in an allocation of acquisition costs to both the tangible and intangible assets associated with income producing real estate. Tangible assets include land, buildings, site improvements, tenant improvements and furniture and fixtures, while intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, lease origination costs (leasing commissions and tenant improvements), legal and marketing costs and leasehold assets and liabilities (above or below market), among others.

The Company uses independent, third party consultants to assist management with its ASC 805 evaluations. The Company determines fair value based on accepted valuation methodologies including the cost, market, and income capitalization approaches. The purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets identified in the evaluation.

The Company records depreciation on buildings and improvements utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally 5 to 40 years. The Company reviews depreciable lives of investment properties periodically and makes adjustments to reflect a shorter economic life, when necessary. Tenant allowances, tenant inducements and tenant improvements are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Amounts allocated to buildings are depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the acquired building or related improvements.

Acquisition and closing costs are capitalized as part of each tangible asset on a pro rata basis. Improvements and major repairs and maintenance are capitalized when the repair and maintenance substantially extend the useful life, increases capacity or improves the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable, but at least annually. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in the property’s cash flows, occupancy and fair market value. The Company measures any impairment of investment property when the estimated undiscounted cash flows plus its residual value, is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the Company charges to income the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. The Company estimates fair value using unobservable data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates, or multiples, leasing prospects and local market information. The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use and the sale prices of these properties may differ from their carrying values. The Company did not record any impairment adjustments to its properties during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities, net

The Company determines, through the ASC 805 evaluation, the above and below market lease intangibles upon acquiring a property. Intangible assets (or liabilities) such as above or below-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded at fair value and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. The Company amortizes amounts allocated to tenant improvements, in-place lease assets and other lease-related intangibles over the remaining life of the underlying leases. The analysis is conducted on a lease-by-lease basis.

The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its intangible assets may not be recoverable, but at least annually. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company did not record any impairment adjustments to its intangible assets.

Details of these deferred costs, net of amortization, arising from the Company’s purchases of the Franklin Square Property and Hanover Square Property are as follows:

	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
	(unaudited)
Intangible Assets
Leasing commissions	$	259,717		$	305,646
Legal and marketing costs		79,430			95,950

Leases in place		1,278,059			1,535,829

Intangible Liabilities
Below market leases, net	$	(392,703	)	$	(439,726	)

Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Adjustments to rental revenue related to the above and below market leases during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation

A conditional asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement depends on a future event that may or may not be with the Company’s control. Currently, the Company does not have any conditional asset retirement obligations. However, any such obligations identified in the future would result in the Company recording a liability if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental studies conducted at the time the Company acquired its properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities, and the Company is unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability.

The Company believes that its properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company did not record any conditional asset retirement obligation liabilities during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank operating accounts and money markets. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include its cash and equivalents and its trade accounts receivable.

Restricted cash represents (i) amounts held by the Company for tenant security deposits, (ii) escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate tax, insurance, and operating reserves and (iii) capital reserves held by lenders for investment property capital improvements.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and any restricted cash held by the Company on deposit with financial institutions in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. The Company's credit loss in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk. As of June 30, 2019, the Company held six cash accounts with balances that exceeded the FDIC limit by an aggregate amount of $7,154,939. As of December 31, 2018, the Company held one cash account with a balance that exceeded the FDIC limit by $650,699.

Tenant security deposits are restricted cash balances held by the Company to offset potential damages, unpaid rent or other unmet conditions of its tenant leases. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reported $66,901 and $71,022, respectively in security deposits.

Escrow deposits are restricted cash balances held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and other operating reserves. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reported $545,428 and $719,588, respectively, in escrow deposits.

Capital reserves are restricted cash balances held by lenders for capital improvements, leasing commissions and tenant improvements. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company reported $951,706 and $2,002,762, respectively, in capital property reserves. These funds are being held in reserve for improvements to the Hampton Inn Property ($525,096 and $1,601,809 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively) and tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the Franklin Square Property ($426,610 and $400,953 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively).

Other Assets

The Company records payments made for deposits, due diligence and other pre-acquisition costs for potential future investment properties as “other assets”. Upon acquisition of a property, these costs will be capitalized as part of either (i) the acquisition cost of the acquired property or (ii) as issuance costs related to mortgages payable. As of June 30, 2019, the Company reported $118,600 in other assets, all related to the Company’s acquisition of the Best Western Plus University Inn & Conference Center in Clemson, South Carolina (see Note 3, below, for further discussion on 2019 acquisitions). As of December 31, 2018, the Company reported $0 in other assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) effective on January 1, 2019 (see Recent Accounting Pronouncements, below). This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s recognition of revenues from either its retail properties or its hotel property.

Retail Property Revenues

The Company recognizes minimum rents from its retail center properties (the Franklin Square and Hanover Square properties) on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases which results in an unbilled rent asset or deferred rent liability being recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s leases generally require the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of its expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the shopping center and common areas (collectively defined as Common Area Maintenance or “CAM” expenses). The Company includes these reimbursements, along with other revenue derived from late fees and seasonal events, under the consolidated statements of operations caption "Retail center property tenant reimbursements." This significantly reduces the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation or other outside factors. The Company accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The Company calculates the tenant’s share of operating costs by multiplying the total amount of the operating costs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of square feet being leased by the tenant, and the denominator of which is the average total square footage of all leasable buildings at the property. The Company also receives escrow payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants throughout the year.

The Company recognizes differences between previously estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the year in which the amounts become final. Since these differences are determined annually under the leases, the impact on revenues recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is not known.

The Company recognizes lease termination fees in the period that the lease is terminated and collection of the fees is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, no such termination costs were recognized.

Hotel Property Revenues

Hotel revenues (from the Hampton Inn Property) are recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services.

Tenant receivables and unbilled rent

Tenant receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to recording rents on a straight-line basis. The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. The Company considers a receivable past due once it becomes delinquent per the terms of the lease. A past due receivable triggers certain events such as notices, fees and other allowable and required actions per the lease. The Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts are comprised of amounts specifically identified based on management’s review of individual tenants’ outstanding receivables.

Income Taxes

Beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the REIT has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT qualification. In order to maintain this REIT status, the regulations require the Company to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates for the years in which it fails to qualify. If the Company loses its REIT status it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for five years unless the Company’s failure to qualify was due to reasonable cause and certain other conditions were satisfied. Management has evaluated the effect of the guidance provided by GAAP on Accounting for Uncertainty of Income Taxes and has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions.

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s Hampton Inn TRS entity generated a tax loss, so no income tax expense was recorded. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s Hampton Inn TRS entity generated taxable income, but management made the determination to record income tax expense as of December 31, 2018 due to the Hampton Inn Property’s seasonal variations in taxable income.

Use of Estimates

The Company has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. The Company’s actual results could differ from these estimates.

Loss on Disposition of FF&E

The Company allocated and recorded a portion of the acquisition cost of the Hampton Inn Property to furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”), a component of investment properties on the consolidated balance sheet, when it acquired the Hampton Inn Property in November 2017. As part of a property improvement plan for the Hampton Inn Property (see Note 7 for further discussion), the Company has replaced a significant portion of the FF&E it acquired. As a result, during the three and six months ending June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a loss on disposition of FF&E of $983,855 which represented the net book value of the assets that were disposed. No such losses were recorded during the three and six months ending June 30, 2018.

Noncontrolling Interests

There are three elements of noncontrolling interests in the capital structure of the Company. The ownership interests not held by the REIT are considered noncontrolling interests. Accordingly, noncontrolling interests have been reported in equity on the consolidated balance sheets but separate from the Company’s equity. On the consolidated statements of operations, the subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amount, including both the amount attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity.

The first noncontrolling interest is in the Hampton Inn Property in which the Company owns a 64 percent tenancy in common interest through its subsidiaries and an outside party owns a 36 percent tenancy in common interest. In 2017, the noncontrolling owner of the Hampton Inn Property provided $2.3 million as part of the acquisition of the Hampton Inn Property. The Hampton Inn Property’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest based on its 36 percent ownership. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 36 percent of the Hampton Inn’s net loss of $1,216,108 and $1,585,216, respectively, or $437,799 and $570,678, respectively was allocated to the noncontrolling partnership interest. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 36 percent of the Hampton Inn’s net income (loss) of $14,418 and ($98,825), respectively, or $5,190 and ($35,577) respectively, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest.

The second noncontrolling interest is in the Hanover Square Property in which the Company owns an 84 percent tenancy in common interest through its subsidiary and an outside party owns a 16 percent tenancy in common interest. The Hanover Square Property’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest based on its 16 percent ownership. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 16 percent of the Hanover Square Property’s net loss of $13,374 and $42,783, respectively, or $2,140 and $6,845, respectively, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, 16 percent of the Hanover Square Property’s net loss of $27,437, or $4,390, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest. (The Company acquired the Hanover Square Property in May 2018.)

The third noncontrolling ownership interest are the units in the Operating Partnership that are not held by the REIT. In 2017, 125,000 Operating Partnership units were issued to members of the selling LLC which owned the Hampton Inn Property who elected to participate in a 721 exchange, which allows the exchange of interests in real property for shares in a real estate investment trust. These members of the selling LLC invested $1,175,000 in the Operating Partnership in exchange for 125,000 Operating Partnership units. The Operating Partnership units not held by the REIT represent 2.71 percent and 5.11 percent of the outstanding Operating Partnership units as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The noncontrolling interest percentage is calculated at any point in time by dividing the number of units not owned by the Company by the total number of units outstanding. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage will change as additional common or preferred shares are issued by the REIT, or additional Operating Partnerships units are issued or as units are exchanged for the Company’s $0.01 par value per share Common Stock. During periods when the Operating Partnership’s noncontrolling interest changes, the noncontrolling ownership interest is calculated based on the weighted average Operating Partnership noncontrolling ownership interest during that period. The Operating Partnership’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders based on their ownership interest.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, a weighted average of 2.86 percent and 3.48 percent, respectively, of the Operating Partnership’s net loss of $828,355 and $1,146,612, respectively, or $23,679 and $39,942 respectively, was allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, a weighted average of 5.91 percent and 6.73 percent, respectively, of the Operating Partnership’s net loss of $170,872 and $442,263, respectively, or $10,090 and $29,773, respectively, was allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For each of the accounting pronouncements that affect the Company, the Company has elected or plans to elect to follow the rule that allows companies engaging in an initial public offering as an Emerging Growth Company to follow the private company implementation dates.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance on revenue recognition throughout the ASC. The new standard is principles based and provides a five step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information surrounding the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which relates to assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration and completed contracts and contract modifications in transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies or corrects unintended application of the standard. Adoption is required for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company adopted Topic 606 effective on January 1, 2019.

A majority of the Company’s tenant-related revenue from its Franklin Square Property and Hanover Square Property is recognized pursuant to lease agreements and will be governed by the leasing guidance discussed below. The Company has evaluated its hotel revenues and concluded that the adoption of this standard did not impact the amount or timing of revenue recognition in its consolidated financial statements. As previously discussed, the Company completed its assessment of ASU No. 2014-09 and has concluded that the guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s method of revenue recognition or on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this update govern a number of areas including, but not limited to, accounting for leases, replacing the existing guidance in ASC No. 840, Leases. Under this standard, among other changes in practice, a lessee’s rights and obligations under most leases, including existing and new arrangements, would be recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet. Other significant provisions of this standard include (i) defining the “lease term” to include the non-cancelable period together with periods for which there is a significant economic incentive for the lessee to extend or not terminate the lease; (ii) defining the initial lease liability to be recorded on the balance sheet to contemplate only those variable lease payments that depend on an index or that are in substance “fixed,” (iii) a dual approach for determining whether lease expense is recognized on a straight-line or accelerated basis, depending on whether the lessee is expected to consume more than an insignificant portion of the leased asset’s economic benefits and (iv) a requirement to bifurcate certain lease and non-lease components. The lease standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years) and for private companies, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective on January 1, 2020. The accounting for leases under which the Company is the lessor remains largely unchanged and the Company is not currently a “lessee” under any lease agreements. Management does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better calculate credit loss estimates. The guidance will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as accounts receivable and loans. The guidance will require that the Company estimate the lifetime expected credit loss with respect to these receivables and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the net amounts expected to be collected. The Company will also be required to disclose information about how it developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For public companies, the guidance will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for private companies, periods after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The standard requires a reconciliation of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, such as escrows and operating property reserves and property capital reserves, in the cash flow statement or in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019 and applied retrospectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the adoption resulted in a reduction of $192,358 in net cash used in operating activities and a reduction of $350,144 in net cash used in investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(b)

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, excludes $128,093 and $423,747, respectively, in pre-payments recorded as advance deposits for furniture and fixtures not yet received as part of the renovations of the Hampton Inn Property. The Company reclassifies the amounts recorded as advance deposits to a furniture and fixtures account when the assets are received or placed in service.

(c)

Excludes intangible assets and liabilities (see note, below), escrow deposits and property reserves.

The Company’s depreciation expense on investment properties was $404,796 and $365,462 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $808,126 and $664,926 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company generally records depreciation of capitalized tenant improvements and amortization of capitalized leasing commissions on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Details of these deferred costs, net of depreciation and amortization as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are as follows:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
		(unaudited)
Capitalized tenant improvements, net	$	186,834	$	175,580
Capitalized leasing commissions, net		307,972		322,861

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $31,284 and $0, respectively in capitalized tenant improvements. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any capitalized tenant improvements. Depreciation on capitalized tenant improvements was $10,536 and $6,003 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $20,030 and $9,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $3,229 and $71,673, respectively in capitalized leasing commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $4,575 and $95,866, respectively in capitalized leasing commissions. Amortization of capitalized leasing commissions was $9,786 and $2,593 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $19,464 and $4,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In May 2018, the Company paid $125,000 to induce a tenant in the Franklin Square Property to release a restriction in its lease that prohibited the Company from leasing space to a similar user. Capitalized tenant inducements are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the term of the respective lease. Details of these deferred costs, net of depreciation and amortization as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are as follows:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(unaudited)
Capitalized tenant inducements, net	$	105,120	$	113,640

Amortization of the tenant inducement was $4,260 and $2,840 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $8,520 and $2,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

A significant portion of the Company’s land, buildings and improvements serve as collateral for its mortgage loans payable portfolio. Accordingly, restrictions exist as to each property’s transferability, use and other common rights typically associated with property ownership.

Property Acquisitions

2019 Acquisition Activity

On May 24, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire the 148-room Best Western Plus University Inn & Conference Center in Clemson, South Carolina for a purchase price of $10,501,001. On June 21, 2019, the Company terminated the PSA, as permitted under its terms. As discussed in the Subsequent Events note, below, on July 19, 2019 the Company reinstated the PSA with a purchase price of $9,750,000.

2018 Acquisition

The Hanover Square Property

On May 8, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of an 84 percent interest in the Hanover Square Property through a wholly owned subsidiary. The purchase price for the Hanover Square Property was $12,173,000 paid through a combination of cash provided by the Company, assumed secured debt which amount was increased by additional debt and cash provided by the 16 percent noncontrolling investor. The Company’s total investment, including acquisition and closing costs, escrows and lease reserves was $12,961,557, including $122,033 of loan issuance costs and $648,120 in cash provided by a non-controlling investor. The Hanover Square Property, built in 2007, was 97 percent leased as of June 30, 2019 and is anchored by Marshalls and an Old Navy store.

The following summarizes the consideration paid and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the acquisition described above, along with a description of the methods used to determine fair value.

On October 4, 2018, the Company issued a warrant to Moloney Securities Co. Inc. (the “Holder”), the lead underwriter of the issuances of the Company’s Common Shares in 2017 and the first six months of 2018, which grants the Holder the right to purchase 49,890 shares of the Company’s Common Shares, in whole or in part, at an exercise price of $12.50 per share, subject to certain conditions.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 27, 2018 and approved by the Company’s shareholders on August 23, 2018. The Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards (including LTIP units of the Company’s Operating Partnership) to its employees or an affiliate (as defined in the Plan) of the Company and for up to the greater of (i) 240,000 shares of common stock and (ii) eight percent (8%) of the number of fully diluted shares of the Company’s Common Shares (taking into account interests in the Operating Partnership that may become convertible into Common Shares).

On August 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a grant of 80,000 shares of Common Shares to two employees of the Manager who also serve as directors of the Company and a grant of 6,000 Common Shares to the Company’s three independent directors. The effective date of the grants was December 4, 2018, the date on which the registration of the Plan shares was effective. The Common Shares granted vest immediately, but will be restricted for six months by a lock-up agreement associated with the Company’s sale of its Common Shares on November 27, 2018. In addition, the Plan includes other restrictions on the sale of shares issued under the Plan. Because the Common Shares vest immediately, the fair value of the grants, or $790,340, was recorded to expense on the effective date of the grant. The fair value of the grants was determined by the market price of the Company’s Common Shares on the effective date of the grant.

As of June 30, 2019, there are 154,000 shares available for issuance under the Plan.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share for the Company’s Common Shares is calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, by the Company’s weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, by the weighted average number of Common Shares, including any dilutive shares. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of the Operating Partnership’s 125,000 common units outstanding were eligible to be converted, on a one-to-one basis, into Common Shares. The Operating Partnership’s common units have been excluded from the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

The Company's earnings per common share are determined as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

Commitments and Contingencies

Hampton Inn Property – Property Improvement Plan

The Company is obligated under the mortgage loan for the Hampton Inn Property to complete a property improvement plan which includes exterior and interior renovations and replacement of furniture and fixtures. This obligation is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by individual members of the Manager and by an individual member of the noncontrolling owner. The Company has entered into a series of contracts for this work with a total estimated cost of $2,717,001 and work commenced in July 2018. These costs are being partially funded by $2,206,099 of funds held in escrow by the mortgage holder (see “Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash”, above), with the remainder being funded by the Company and the noncontrolling owner.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $659,705 and $1,395,055, respectively, in costs associated with the property improvement plan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, escrows held by the mortgage holder provided reimbursements to the Company of $509,530 and $1,076,713, respectively, which include reimbursement for costs incurred and paid in prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred and paid $1,009,452 in costs associated with the property improvement plan. Escrows held by the mortgage holder funded $604,290 of these costs and the remainder was funded by the Company. As of June 30, 2019, the Company estimates that the remaining costs to be incurred associated with this work is $524,284, all of which will be funded by the escrow balance of $525,096 as of June 30, 2019.

Insurance

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in its portfolio, in addition to other coverages that may be appropriate for certain of its properties. Additionally, the Company carries a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers such claims made against the Company and its directors and officers. The Company believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for its properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, its insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover its losses.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These risks include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the retail industry, creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants and customers, changes in tax laws, interest rates, the availability of financing and potential liability under environmental and other laws. The Company’s portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions and is geographically concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic which represented 100 percent of the total annualized base revenues of the properties in its portfolio as of June 30, 2019. The Company’s geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to adverse developments in those markets than if it owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. Additionally, the Company’s retail shopping center property depends on anchor stores or major tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

Regulatory and Environmental

As the owner of the buildings on its properties, the Company could face liability for the presence of hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos or lead) or other adverse conditions (e.g., poor indoor air quality) in its buildings. Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of hazardous materials in buildings, and if the Company does not comply with such laws, it could face fines for such noncompliance. Also, the Company could be liable to third parties (e.g., occupants of the buildings) for damages related to exposure to hazardous materials or adverse conditions in its buildings, and the Company could incur material expenses with respect to abatement or remediation of hazardous materials or other adverse conditions in its buildings. In addition, some of the Company’s tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at the Company’s properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject the Company or its tenants to liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to the Company, and changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company is not aware of any material contingent liabilities, regulatory matters or environmental matters that may exist.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Occupancy rates and hotel revenues for the Company’s Hampton Inn Property are highest in October, due to a local event that generates significant demand, and generally greater in the second and third quarters than in the first quarter and in November and December. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.

Litigation

The Company is not currently involved in any litigation or legal proceedings.

Related Party Transactions

Medalist Fund Manager, Inc. (the “Manager”)

The Company is externally managed by the Manager, which makes all investment decisions for the Company. The Manager oversees the Company’s overall business and affairs and has broad discretion to make operating decisions on behalf of the Company and to make investment decisions.

The Company pays the Manager a monthly asset management fee equal to 0.125% of stockholders’ equity, payable in arrears in cash. For purposes of calculating the asset management fee, the Company’s stockholders’ equity means: (a) the sum of (1) the net proceeds from (or equity value assigned to) all issuances of the Company’s equity and equity equivalent securities (including common stock, common stock equivalents, preferred stock and OP Units issued by the Company’s operating partnership) since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance), plus (2) the Company’s retained earnings at the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense incurred in current or prior periods), less (b) any amount that the Company has paid to repurchase its common stock issued in this or any subsequent offering. Stockholders’ equity also excludes (1) any unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash items (including depreciation and amortization) that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and (2) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain non-cash items not otherwise described above, in each case after discussions between the Company’s Manager and its independent director(s) and approval by a majority of its independent directors.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company incurred $113,771 and $95,486 in asset management fees, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $207,696 and $162,660, in asset management fees, respectively. Asset management fees are recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as either (i) retail center property operating expenses, (ii) hotel property operating expenses or (iii) legal, accounting and other professional fees, depending on the basis on which the asset management fee is determined.

The Manager also receives an acquisition fee of 2.0% of the purchase price plus transaction costs, for each property acquired or investment made on the Company’s behalf at the closing of the acquisition of such property or investment, in consideration for the Manager’s assistance in effectuating such acquisition. Acquisition fees are allocated and added to the fair value of the tangible assets acquired. Repayment of funds advanced are recorded as a reduction in outstanding accounts payable and accrued liabilities. No acquisition fees were earned or paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred and paid $252,451 in acquisition fees associated with the Hanover Square Property transaction.

The Manager will be entitled to an incentive fee, payable quarterly, equal to an amount, not less than zero, equal to the difference between (1) the product of (x) 20% and (y) the difference between (i) Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) (as further defined below) for the previous 12-month period, and (ii) the product of (A) the weighted average of the issue price of equity securities issued in this offering and in future offerings and transactions, multiplied by the weighted average number of all shares of common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (including any restricted stock units, any restricted shares of common stock and OP Units) in the previous 12-month period, exclusive of equity securities issued prior to this offering, and (B) 7%, and (2) the sum of any incentive fee paid to the Manager with respect to the first three calendar quarters of such previous 12-month period. For purposes of calculating the incentive fee during the first years after completion of this offering, adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) will be determined by annualizing the applicable period following completion of this offering. AFFO is calculated by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations. The Company further adjusts funds from operations (“FFO”) for certain items that are not added to net income in the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (NAREIT) definition of FFO, such as acquisition expenses, equity based compensation expenses, and any other non-recurring or non-cash expenses, which are costs that do not relate to the operating performance of the Company’s properties, and subtract recurring capital expenditures (and, when calculating the incentive fee only, we further adjust FFO to include any realized gains or losses on real estate investments). No incentive fees were earned or paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

In addition to the asset management fees paid to the Manager, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company repaid the Manager $0 and $196,483 for funds advanced by the Manager on behalf of the Company. No such repayments were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Hampton Inn Property

The tenants in common owners of the Hampton Inn Property have entered into lease with the Hampton Inn TRS for the Hampton Inn Property. Under the lease, the TRS, under a hotel management agreement with Marshall Properties, operates the property and pays rent to the tenants in common owners. Base rent and percentage rent are payable under the lease, as follows:

	Period	Annual Rent		Percentage Rent
Year 1	November, 2017 – October, 2018	$	866,834	6% of Gross Revenue
Years 2 and 3	November, 2018 – October, 2020	$	866,834	10% of Gross Revenue
Years 4 and 5	November, 2020 – October, 2022	$	946,834	10% of Gross Revenue

During the three months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018 the TRS incurred $299,103 and $282,868, respectively, in rent to the tenants in common owners and during the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018 the TRS incurred $580,260 and $544,336, respectively in rent to the tenants in common owners. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 accrued but unpaid rent was $190,853 and $120,289. All material balances and transactions between the two entities have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company had $725,000 and $0 in short-term advances outstanding to the tenants in common owners to fund costs associated with the property improvement plan. These loans will be repaid with funds from the escrow held by the lender and by cash flow from the Hampton Inn Property. These intercompany balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Other related parties

The Company pays Shockoe Properties, LLC, a subsidiary of Dodson Properties, an entity in which one of the owners of the Manager holds a 6.32 percent interest, an annual property management fee of up to 3 percent of the monthly gross revenues of the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Properties. These fees are paid in arrears on a monthly basis. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid Shockoe Properties, LLC property management fees of $26,167 and $25,742, respectively and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company paid Shockoe Properties, LLC property management fees of $53,301 and $39,201, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company establishes operating segments at the property level and aggregates individual properties into reportable segments based on product types in which the Company has investments. As of June 30, 2019, The Company had the following reportable segments: retail center properties and hotel properties. During the periods presented, there have been no material intersegment transactions.

Net operating income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not considered a measure of operating results or cash flows from operations under GAAP. NOI is the primary performance measure reviewed by management to assess operating performance of properties and is calculated by deducting operating expenses from operating revenues. Operating revenues include rental income, tenant reimbursements, hotel income, and other property income; and operating expenses include retail center property and hotel operating costs. The NOI performance metric consists of only revenues and expenses directly related to real estate rental operations. NOI reflects property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses. NOI, as the Company calculates it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs.

Asset information and capital expenditures by segment are not reported because the Company does not use these measures to assess performance. Depreciation and amortization expense, along with other expense and income items, are not allocated among segments.

The following table presents property operating revenues, expenses and NOI by product type:

	For the three months ended June 30,

Company Overview

Medalist Diversified REIT Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on September 28, 2015. Beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017, we believe that we have operated in a manner qualifying us as a REIT, and we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our company serves as the general partner of Medalist Diversified Holdings, LP which was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on September 29, 2015.

Our company was formed to acquire, reposition, renovate, lease and manage income-producing properties, with a primary focus on (i) commercial properties, including flex-industrial, limited service hotels, and retail properties, and (ii) multi-family residential properties in secondary and tertiary markets in the southeastern part of the United States, with an expected concentration in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. We may also pursue, in an opportunistic manner, other real estate-related investments, including, among other things, equity or other ownership interests in entities that are the direct or indirect owners of real property, indirect investments in real property, such as those that may be obtained in a joint venture. While these types of investments are not intended to be a primary focus, we may make such investments in our Manager’s discretion.

Our company is externally managed by Medalist Fund Manager, Inc. (the “Manager”). The Manager makes all investment decisions for our company. The Manager and its affiliated companies specialize in acquiring, developing, owning and managing value-added commercial real estate in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. The Manager oversees our company’s overall business and affairs and has broad discretion to make operating decisions on behalf of our company and to make investment decisions. Our company’s stockholders are not involved in its day-to-day affairs.

As of June 30, 2019, our company owned and operated three investment properties, the Shops at Franklin Square (the “Franklin Square Property”), a 134,239 square foot retail property located in Gastonia, North Carolina, the Greensboro Hampton Inn (the “Hampton Inn Property”) a hotel with 125 rooms on 2.162 acres in Greensboro, North Carolina and the Hanover North Shopping Center (the “Hanover Square Property”), a 73,440 square foot retail property located in Mechanicsville, Virginia. As of June 30, 2019, we owned 64% of the Hampton Inn Property as a tenant in common with a noncontrolling owner which owned the remaining 36% interest. The tenants in common lease the Hampton Inn Property to a taxable REIT subsidiary that is also owned 64% by us and 36% by the noncontrolling owner. As of June 30, 2019, we owned 84% of the Hanover Square Property as a tenant in common with a noncontrolling owner which owned the remaining 16% interest.

Recent Trends and Activities

There have been several significant events during 2018 and 2019 that have impacted our company. These events are summarized below.

Equity Issuances

Between January and June 2018, our company issued and sold 847,580 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share. Net proceeds from the issuances totaled $7,749,992, which includes the impact of discounts and offering costs, including the underwriters' selling commissions and legal, accounting and other professional fees. Our company also incurred $144,639 in other issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The net funds after issuance costs were used to (i) retire the short-term notes payable used to finance the purchase of the Hampton Inn Property and (ii) fund our company’s acquisition of the Hanover Square Property, which closed on May 8, 2018.

On November 30, 2018, we completed our initial registered public offering, or our IPO, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 240,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share and received approximately $1,838,727 in net proceeds.

On May 8, 2019, our company issued and sold 1,666,667 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.80 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance totaled $7,222,501, which includes the impact of discounts and offering costs, including the underwriter’s selling commissions and reimbursable legal fees and other expenses. On May 21, 2019, our company issued and sold 227,062 shares of common stock at an offering price of $4.80 per share, pursuant to its underwriter’s over-allotment option related to the May 8, 2019 offering. Net proceeds from the issuance totaled $991,807, which includes the impact of discounts and offering costs, including the underwriter’s selling commissions. On May 31, 2019, our company issued and sold 270,833 shares of common stock pursuant to a private placement at an offering price of $4.80 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance totaled $1,183,998, which includes the impact of discounts and offering costs, including the underwriter’s selling commissions and reimbursable legal fees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our company also incurred $632,006 and $770,833, respectively, in offering costs, including legal, accounting, advisory and other professional fees.

On August 31, 2018, our company’s Board of Directors approved a grant of 80,000 shares of our common stock to two employees of the Manager who also serve as directors of our company and a grant of 6,000 shares of our common stock to our company’s three independent directors. The effective date of the grants was December 4, 2018, the date on which the registration of the Plan shares was effective. The shares vested immediately, but, pursuant to lock-up agreements executed in connection with our May 8, 2019 common stock issuance, the holders of these shares are restricted from selling any of their shares of our common stock for a period of six months. Specifically, the sale of any shares held by our directors is restricted for six months following the effective date of the registration statement, or until November 8, 2019. In addition, the Plan includes other restrictions on the sale of shares issued under the Plan. Because the Common Shares vest immediately, the fair value of the grants, or $790,340, was recorded to expense on the effective date of the grant. The fair value of the grants was determined by the market price of our company’s Common Shares on the effective date of the grant.

2017 Acquisitions

The Shops at Franklin Square

On April 28, 2017, we completed our acquisition of the Franklin Square Property through a wholly owned subsidiary. The purchase price for the Franklin Square Property was $20,500,000 paid through a combination of cash and assumed, secured debt.

The hotel has 125 rooms and was built in 1996.

Our company is obligated under the mortgage loan for the Hampton Inn Property to complete a property improvement plan (the “Property Improvement Plan”) which includes exterior and interior renovations and replacement of furniture and fixtures. Our company has entered into a series of contracts for this work with a total estimated cost of $2,648,548 and work commenced in July, 2018. These costs have been and will be partially funded by $2,206,099 of funds held in escrow by the mortgage holder, with the remainder being funded by our company and the noncontrolling owner.

2018 Acquisition

Hanover North Shopping Center

On May 8, 2018, we completed our acquisition of an undivided 84 percent tenant-in-common interest in the Hanover Square Property through a wholly owned subsidiary.

We acquired the Hanover Square Property with $3,291,404 in cash, $648,120 in cash from an unaffiliated tenant-in-common noncontrolling owner, and the assumption of a secured loan of approximately $8,527,315 from Langley Federal Credit Union, which amount was increased by an additional $372,685 (the “Hanover Square Property Loan”). The Hanover Square Property is located in Mechanicsville, Virginia and consists of approximately 73,440 square feet of improvements located on an 8.766 acre parcel of land (the “Developed Parcel”) and a contiguous, undeveloped parcel of land totaling 0.864 acres. As of June 30, 2019, the Hanover Square Property was approximately 96.7% occupied.

2019 Acquisition Pipeline Activity

On July 29, 2019, our company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the Brookfield Flex Property totaling approximately 64,884 of gross leasable area in Greenville, South Carolina for a purchase price of $6,700,000.

Several conditions to closing on the acquisitions described above remain to be satisfied, and there can be no assurance that our company will complete the transactions on the general terms described above or at all.

Financing Activities

Our company financed its acquisitions of the three properties through mortgages, as follows:

							Balance
	Monthly		Interest				Balance – June 30,
Property	Payment		Rate			Maturity	2019		2018
Franklin Square		Interest only		4.7	%	October 2021	$	14,275,000	$	14,275,000
Hampton Inn (a)		Interest only		Variable		November 2020		10,600,000		10,600,000
Hanover Square (b)	$	51,993		4.9	%	December 2027		8,693,413		8,892,423

(a)

The mortgage loan for the Hampton Inn Property bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR with a minimum rate of 6.1%. The interest rate payable is the USD LIBOR one-month rate plus 5%. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the rates in effect for the Hampton Inn Property mortgage loan were 7.5 percent and 7.125 percent.

(b)

As part of its acquisition of the Hanover Square Property, our company assumed a secured loan of $8,527,315 from Langley Federal Credit Union and incurred additional mortgage debt of $372,685, also from Langley Federal Credit Union (the “Hanover Square Property Loan”). The Hanover Square Property Loan matures on December 1, 2027 and requires monthly payments of principal, on a 25-year amortization schedule, and interest during the term. The Hanover Square Property Loan will bear interest at 4.90% through January 1, 2023, at which time the interest rate will be adjusted to the daily average yield on US Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, plus 3.10% with an interest rate floor of 4.90%. The fixed monthly payment includes principal and interest. The Hanover Square Property Loan is secured by the Developed Parcel of the Hanover Square Property.

On November 3, 2017, our company entered into an Interest Rate Protection Transaction to limit our company’s exposure to increases in interest rates on the variable rate mortgage loan on the Hampton Inn Property. Under this agreement, our company’s interest rate exposure is capped at 7 percent if USD 1-Month LIBOR BBA exceeds 2 percent. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, USD 1-Month LIBOR was 2.398 percent and 2.09213 percent, respectively. In accordance with the guidance on derivatives and hedging, our company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Our company reports the changes in the fair value of the derivative as an increase (decrease) in fair value-interest rate cap on its consolidated statement of operations.

Beginning in July 2018, the USD 1-Month LIBOR BBA rate exceeded two percent and remained in excess of two percent on each subsequent monthly valuation date from July 2018 through June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we received $13,544 and $0 in payments under the Interest Rate Protection Transaction and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, we received $27,935 and $0 in payments under the Interest Rate Protection Transaction. All payments were recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, our company had no notes payable, short term or related party notes payable, short term, outstanding. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our company repaid short term notes payable in the principal amount of $0 and $1,500,000, respectively. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, our company repaid related party notes payable, short term, to five related parties totaling $0 and $677,538 respectively. These short term notes were issued on November 3, 2017 to finance the purchase of the Hampton Inn Property.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results that may require complex or significant judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

Principal components of our total revenues for our retail properties include base rents and tenant reimbursements. We accrue minimum (base) rent on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases which results in an unbilled rent asset or deferred rent liability being recorded on the balance sheet. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent) which we recognize when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. We periodically review the valuation of the asset/liability resulting from the straight-line accounting treatment of our leases in light of any changes in lease terms, financial condition or other factors concerning our tenants.

Rents and Other Tenant Receivables

For our retail properties, we record a tenant receivable for amounts due from tenants such as base rents, tenant reimbursements and other charges allowed under the lease terms. We periodically review tenant receivables for collectability and determine the need for an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and other accounts receivable based upon customer creditworthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels and current economic trends. We consider a receivable past due once it becomes delinquent per the terms of the lease. A past due receivable triggers certain events such as notices, fees and other actions per the lease.

For our hotel property, revenues are recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) effective on January 1, 2019 (see Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Polices,” of our Consolidated Financial Statements). This adoption did not have a material impact on our company’s recognition of revenues from either its retail properties or its hotel property.

Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

The adoption of ASU 2017-01, as discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, has impacted our accounting framework for the acquisition of investment properties. Upon acquisition of investment properties, our company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including in-place leases, above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships and assumed debt based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Fair values for these assets are not directly observable and estimates are based on comparable market data and other information which is subjective in nature, including estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis to identify any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in the property’s cash flows, occupancy and fair market value. If any such events or changes in circumstances are identified, we perform a formal impairment analysis. We measure any impairment of investment property when the estimated undiscounted operating income before depreciation and amortization, is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to income the excess of carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We estimate fair value using data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates or multiples, leasing prospects and local market information. Our company also reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its intangible assets may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

REIT Status

We are a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a REIT. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for the year ended December 31, 2017 and have not revoked such election. A REIT is a corporate entity which holds real estate interests and must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on our taxable income if we annually distribute 100% of our taxable income to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to regular federal and state corporate income taxes and may not be able to elect to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Our qualification as a REIT requires management to exercise significant judgment and consideration with respect to operational matters and accounting treatment. Therefore, we believe our REIT status is a critical accounting estimate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business model is intended to drive growth through acquisitions. Access to the capital markets is an important factor for our continued success. We expect to continue to issue equity in our company through our offering with proceeds being used to acquire additional target properties.

Our liquidity needs are primarily to fund (i) operating expenses and cash dividends; (ii) property acquisitions; (iii) deposits and fees associated with long-term debt financing for our properties; (iv) recurring capital expenditures; (v) debt repayments; (vi) payment of principal of, and interest on, outstanding indebtedness; and (vii) corporate and administrative costs.

Internal liquidity will be provided solely by the rental receipts from our real properties. The only external liquidity source we have currently identified is our ongoing efforts to raise capital by the issuance of shares of common stock.

Cash Flows

At June 30, 2019, our consolidated cash on hand totaled $9,106,107 compared to consolidated cash on hand of $1,134,347 at June 30, 2018. Cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our company owned and operated the Franklin Square Property and the Hampton Inn Property for the full six months and the Hanover Square Property for two months. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our financial results include the impact of owning all three properties for the full six months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 our cash flows provided by operating activities were $290,817 compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $273,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $564,271. This increase was largely driven by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $429,981 (which reduced the use of cash). While our net loss increased from $1,020,702 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $2,363,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, this was a result of increases in non-cash expenses, including a loss on the disposition of FF&E of $983,855, increased depreciation and amortization expenses of $223,108, and the decrease in the fair value of the interest rate cap of $208,579.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash flows used in investing activities were $1,502,213 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $4,262,050 during the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $2,759,837. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in investing activities included $626,650 in advance deposits for furniture and fixtures related to the Property Improvement Plan for the Hampton Inn Property and $875,563 in capital expenditures, consisting of $768,405 in interior and exterior construction costs for the Property Improvement Plan for the Hampton Inn Property, $35,859 in tenant improvements and leasing commissions for the Franklin Square Property and $71,299 in equipment for the Hampton Inn Property.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash used in investing activities included the acquisition of the Hanover Square Property, payment of leasing commissions for the Franklin Square Property and initial expenditures for the Hampton Inn Property’s Property Improvement Plan.

Non-cash investing activities for the six months ending June 30, 2019 that did not affect our cash flows used in investing activities were $922,304 representing advance deposits made for Hanover Square Property furniture, fixtures and equipment that was received and transferred to investment properties. There were no non-cash investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash flows provided by financing activities were $7,760,742 compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $5,949,351 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated net proceeds, after offering costs, from our stock issuances of $8,627,473. Additionally, we paid dividends and distributions of $787,582 and repaid mortgage debt principal associated with the Hanover Square Property of $79,149.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our company generated net proceeds, after offering costs, from its common stock issuances, of $7,605,353. Additionally, we repaid short term notes payable of $2,177,538, paid dividends of $369,659, incurred new mortgage debt associated with the Hanover Square Property of $250,652 (net of loan issuance costs), in addition to the assumed mortgage debt of $8,527,315. We also generated $648,120 from the investment of noncontrolling interests associated with the acquisition of the Hanover Square Property.

Non-cash financing activities that did not affect our cash flows provided by financing activities were $0 for the six months ending June 30, 2019 and $8,527,315, representing a mortgage payable assumed for the acquisition of the Hanover Square Property, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Future Liquidity Needs

Liquidity for general operating needs and our company’s investment properties is provided solely by the rental receipts from those properties. Liquidity for growth (acquisition of new investment properties) will be provided by additional equity issuances, net of issuance costs.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total Revenue

Total revenue was $3,251,576 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, consisting of $1,126,435 in revenues from the Franklin Square Property, $656,706 in revenues from the Hanover Square Property and $1,468,435 in revenues from the Hampton Inn Property. Total revenue was $3,010,166 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, consisting of $968,578 in revenues from the Franklin Square Property, $192,946 in revenues from the Hanover Square Property and $1,848,642 in revenues from the Greensboro Hampton Inn.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $241,410 over the six months ended June 30, 2018. A decline in revenues from the Hampton Inn Property of $380,207 due to the ongoing construction related to the Property Improvement Plan and increased competition was offset by increases in retail property revenues resulting from owning and operating the Hanover Square Property for the full six months and increased revenues from new leases and contractual increases in existing leases at the Franklin Square Property.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $3,529,594, consisting of $359,045 in expenses for the Franklin Square Property, $160,512 for the Hanover Square Property, $1,198,734 for the Hampton Inn Property, $543,809 of legal, accounting and other professional fees, $139,149 in corporate general and administrative expenses and $1,128,345 in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Total operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 were $3,247,478, consisting of $402,868 in expenses for the Franklin Square Property, $41,387 for the Hanover Square Property, $1,301,163 for the Greensboro Hampton Inn, $569,715 of legal, accounting and other professional fees, $27,476 of corporate general and administrative expenses, and $904,869 in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $282,116 over the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was a result of owning the Hanover Square Property for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase in corporate general and administrative expenses resulting from the ongoing requirements for a public company, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, stock exchange fees and SEC filing fees, and increased depreciation and amortization expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, operating expenses for the Hampton Inn Property were $102,429 less than for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to lower variable costs resulting from lower occupancy.

Loss on Disposition of FF&E

Our company allocated and recorded a portion of the acquisition cost of the Hampton Inn Property to furniture, fixtures and equipment (“FF&E”), a component of investment properties on the consolidated balance sheet, when it acquired the Hampton Inn Property in November, 2017. As part of a property improvement plan for the Hampton Inn Property (for further discussion, see Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, unaudited), we have replaced a significant portion of the FF&E we acquired. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our company recorded a loss on disposition of FF&E of $983,855 which represented the net book value of the assets that were disposed. No such losses were recorded during the six months ending June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,016,833. This consisted of (i) $337,325 in mortgage interest and $9,276 in amortization of loan issuance costs for the Franklin Square Property, (ii) $400,849 in mortgage interest, $69,780 in amortization of loan issuance costs and $27,935 in payments (recorded as a reduction in interest expense) from the interest rate cap transaction for the Hampton Inn Property, (iii) $213,945 in mortgage interest and $6,366 in amortization of loan issuance costs for the Hanover Square Property and (iv) other interest of $7,227.

Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $887,555. This consisted of (i) $337,326 in mortgage interest and $9,276 in amortization of loan issuance costs for the Franklin Square Property (ii) $366,510 in mortgage interest and $69,780 in amortization of loan issuance costs for the Greensboro Hampton Inn, (iii) $62,918 in mortgage interest and $2,122 in amortization of loan issuance costs for the Hanover Square Property and (iv) other interest of $39,623.

Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $129,278 over the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was a result of owning the Hanover Square Property for the full six months of the six months ended June 30, 2019, and interest rate increases on the variable rate mortgage payable for the Hampton Inn Property.

Other Income and Expense

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the Interest Rate Protection Transaction (discussed above) was $22,383, a decrease of $104,414 from the December 31, 2018 fair value. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the Interest Rate Protection Transaction was $187,601, an increase of $104,165 from the December 31, 2017 fair value. This change in fair value was recorded as an “increase (decrease) in fair value-interest rate cap” during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Net Loss

Total net loss was $2,363,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, before adjustments for net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. After adjusting for noncontrolling interests, the net loss attributable to our common shareholders was $1,745,634. Total net loss was $1,020,702 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, before adjustments for net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. After adjusting for noncontrolling interests, the net loss attributable to our common shareholders was $950,962.

Total net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $1,342,397 over the six months ended June 30, 2018, before adjustments for net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. After adjusting for noncontrolling interests, total net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased by $794,672 over the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was a result of the loss on the disposition of FF&E, lower revenues from the Hampton Inn Property, increased corporate general and administrative expenses and the impact of the ownership of the Hanover Square Property for the full six months ended June 30, 2019.

Funds from Operations

We use Funds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs and above and below market leases) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results.

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper states, “FFO of a REIT includes the FFO of all consolidated properties, including consolidated, partially owned affiliates”. Additionally, since the adjustments to GAAP net income, such as depreciation and amortization, used in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to determine FFO are not allocated between shareholders and noncontrolling interests (i.e. 100% of depreciation and amortization are “added back” without reduction to reflect the noncontrolling owners’ interest in such items), our company believes that the appropriate starting point for the calculation is the net income (loss) before allocation to noncontrolling interests. This allows our company to use FFO as a tool to measure the overall performance of its investment properties, as a whole, not just the portion of the investment properties controlled by Company shareholders.

Below is our company’s FFO, which is a non-GAAP measurement, for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Net income (loss)	$	(2,363,099	)
Depreciation of tangible real property assets (1)		668,501
Depreciation of tenant improvements (2)		120,161
Amortization of leasing commissions (3)		19,464
Amortization of tenant inducements (4)		8,520
Amortization of intangible assets (5)		320,219
Funds from operations	$	(1,226,234	)

(1)

Depreciation expense for buildings, site improvements and furniture and fixtures.

(2)

Depreciation of tenant improvements, including those acquired as part of the purchase of the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property and those constructed during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(3)

Amortization of leasing commissions paid for the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(4)

Amortization of tenant inducements paid for the Franklin Square Property during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

(5)

Amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the purchase of the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property, including leasing commissions, leases in place and legal and marketing costs.

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper encourages companies reporting FFO to “make supplemental disclosure of all material non-cash revenues and expenses affecting their results for each period.” We 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 portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include non-cash items such as amortization of loans and above and below market leases, unbilled rent arising from applying straight line rent revenue recognition and share-based compensation expenses. Additionally, the impact of capital expenditures, including tenant improvement and leasing commissions, net of reimbursements of such expenditures by property escrow funds, is included in our calculation of AFFO. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as their exclusion is not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

Total AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was as follows:

Funds from operations	$	(1,226,234	)
Amortization of above market leases (1)		109,869
Amortization of below market leases (2)		(47,023	)
Straight line rent (3)		(153,433	)
Capital expenditures, net of escrow reimbursements (4)		(425,500	)
Decrease in fair value of interest rate cap (5)		104,414
Amortization of loan issuance costs (6)		85,422
Loss on disposition of FF&E (7)		983,855
Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)	$	(568,630	)

(1)

Adjustment to FFO resulting from non-cash amortization of intangible assets recorded as part of the purchase of the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property.

(2)

Adjustment to FFO resulting from non-cash amortization of intangible liabilities recorded as part of the purchase of the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property.

(3)

Adjustment to FFO resulting from non-cash revenues recognized as a result of applying straight line revenue recognition for the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property.

(4)

Adjustment to FFO for capital expenditures made during the six months ended June 30, 2019 for the Franklin Square Property, the Hanover Square Property and Hampton Inn Property that will not be reimbursed by property escrow accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our company paid $1,502,213 in costs for leasing commissions, tenant inducements and tenant improvements at the Franklin Square Property and the Hanover Square Property and interior and exterior renovations and advance deposits for furniture and fixtures at the Hampton Inn Property. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our company received $1,076,713 in funds from property capital reserves held by the Hampton Inn Property mortgage holder.

Adjustment to FFO resulting from non-cash revenues recognized as a result of increase in fair value of interest rate cap.

(6)

Adjustment to FFO for amortization of non-cash expenses recognized as a result of amortizing loan issuance costs over the terms of the respective mortgages.

(7)

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper provides guidance for the treatment of material non-cash revenues and expenses affecting their results, stating “NAREIT encourages those reporting FFO to make supplemental disclosure of all material non-cash revenues and expenses affecting their results for each period.”

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Total Revenue

Total revenue was $1,713,094 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, consisting of $558,874 in revenues from the Franklin Square Property, $330,273 in revenues from the Hanover Square Property and $823,947 in revenues from the Hampton Inn Property.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $97,062 from the three months ended June 30, 2018. While revenues from the Hampton Inn Property declined by $278,716 due to the ongoing construction related to the Property Improvement Plan and increased competition, this was slightly offset by increased retail center property revenues resulting from owning and operating the Hanover Square Property for the full three months and increased revenues from the Franklin Square Property resulting from new leases and contractual increases in existing leases.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were $1,702,729, consisting of $175,831 in expenses for the Franklin Square Property, $74,451 for the Hanover Square Property, $616,759 for the Hampton Inn Property, $190,062 of legal, accounting and other professional fees, $83,444 in corporate general and administrative expenses and $562,182 in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Total operating expenses for three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $183,406 from the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was a result of a decrease in legal, accounting and other professional fees, offset by an increase in corporate general and administrative expenses resulting from the requirements for a public company, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, stock exchange fees and SEC filing fees. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, operating expenses for the Hampton Inn Property were $121,350 less than for the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to lower variable costs resulting from lower occupancy.

Loss on Disposition of FF&E
