(1)We obtained tax abatements in conjunction with our purchases of the Cortona Apartments and 3101 Agler Road properties with expiration dates of December 31, 2038 and December 31, 2031, respectively. We are amortizing the tax abatements over their remaining useful life as a component of property operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, accumulated amortization of the capitalized tax abatements was $0.6 million, and the estimated annual amortization is $0.6 million.

Derivative Instruments

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our investments, borrowings, and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

We have not designated any of our derivative financial instruments as hedges. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to increases in interest rates.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into two interest rate cap transactions. The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to these instruments as of June 30, 2022:


$ in thousands	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount(1)		Fixed Amount		Fair Value(2)		Strike Rate		Weighted Average Remaining Term In Years
Interest Rate Caps	2	$	118,500	$	1,808	$	4,278	1.0	%	2.62

(1)The notional amount represents the amount of the borrowings that we are hedging, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

(2)The fair value of the interest rate caps is included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the changes in fair value of $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, are included in unrealized gain on derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
