Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business

Broad Street Realty, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated real estate company that owns, operates, develops and redevelops primarily grocery-anchored shopping centers and street retail-based properties in the Mid-Atlantic and Denver, Colorado markets. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had real estate assets of $186.3 million, gross, in 11 real estate properties and a parcel of land on which another shopping center is located. In addition, the Company provides commercial real estate brokerage services for its own portfolio and third-party office, industrial and retail operators and tenants.

The Company is structured as an “Up-C” corporation with substantially all of its operations conducted through Broad Street Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned 88.9% of the units of limited partnership interest in its Operating Partnership (“OP units”) and is the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company began operating in its current structure on December 27, 2019 upon the completion of the Initial Mergers (as defined below).

Merger with MedAmerica Properties Inc.

On May 28, 2019, MedAmerica Properties Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (“MedAmerica”) entered into 19 separate agreements and plans of merger (collectively, the “Merger Agreements”) with each of Broad Street Realty, LLC (“BSR”), Broad Street Ventures, LLC (“BSV”) and each of the 17 separate entities that owned the properties acquired by the Company in the Initial Mergers (as defined below) and to be acquired in the additional Mergers (as defined below) (the “Broad Street Entities”). The Merger Agreements relate to a series of 19 mergers (“Mergers”) whereby BSR, BSV and each Broad Street Entity has or will become subsidiaries of the Company.

On December 27, 2019, the Company completed 11 of the Mergers (the “Initial Mergers”), including the Mergers with BSR and BSV and the Mergers with nine Broad Street Entities. Upon completion of the Initial Mergers, MedAmerica’s name was changed to “Broad Street Realty, Inc.”

On December 31, 2019, the Company completed one additional Merger whereby it acquired Brookhill Azalea Shopping Center. On July 2, 2020, the Company closed one Merger whereby it acquired Lamar Station Plaza East.

As consideration for the Mergers that have closed as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company has issued an aggregate 19,660,911 shares of common stock and 2,827,904 OP units to prior investors in the Broad Street Entities party to the Mergers. In addition, certain prior investors in the Broad Street Entities received an aggregate of approximately $1.1 million in cash as a portion of the consideration for the Mergers.

As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, there are six Mergers that have not been completed. The Company expects to issue an aggregate of 10,400,779 shares of common stock and 573,529 OP units as consideration for the additional Mergers as agreed to in the merger agreements. Until the closing of the remaining Mergers, the Company will continue to manage these six properties and receive management fees.

Liquidity and Management’s Plan

The Company’s properties are located in areas that are or have been subject to shelter-in-place orders and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at its properties and the ability of its tenants to meet their rent and other obligations to the Company, and the government-imposed measures, coupled with customers reducing their purchasing activity in light of health concerns or personal financial distress, have resulted in significant disruptions to the Company and its tenants’ businesses. The Company has observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of temporary closures or significantly limited operations among its tenants, with the exception of tenants operating in certain “essential” businesses, which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments and increased requests from tenants for temporary rental relief. The Company believes the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on its financial results and liquidity, and such negative impact may continue beyond the containment of the pandemic.

Additionally, the Company has been delayed in closing the remaining six Mergers, has been unable to meet and anticipates being unable to meet certain debt covenants included in the Company’s loan agreements, and has certain debt maturities occurring within the next twelve months. Specifically, as described further in Note 5 under the heading Covenants”, the Company was in default of the debt service coverage ratio included in the Lamar Station Plaza East mortgage upon assumption of the mortgage with the closing of the property merger in July 2020. In connection with the loan modification agreement, the lender agreed to forbear enforcement of the event of default subject to Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, which the Company did not meet. The Company entered into a second modification agreement in November 2020 in which the lender agreed to forbear enforcement of the events of default subject to certain conditions, which the Company has subsequently met.

The Company has developed a plan and has taken a number of proactive measures to manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations and liquidity, including the following:

 

it has maintained ongoing communication with its tenants and assisted them in identifying local, state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including the stimulus packages that have been signed into law to date;

 

it has dedicated significant resources to monitor the performance of its portfolio, including rent collections and negotiating requests for rent relief. The Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $0.4 million of contractual revenue and waived approximately $0.3 million of contractual revenue due during 2020;

 

it received an unsecured loan in April 2020 of approximately $0.8 million pursuant to the paycheck protection program which was forgiven in the first quarter of 2021, and, in March 2021, it received a second unsecured loan of approximately $0.8 million pursuant to the paycheck protection program (as described in Note 5 PPP Loans”);

 

it has negotiated loan payment deferrals during 2020. The lenders for the Company’s mortgage loans secured by the Hollinswood and Vista properties agreed to defer payments of principal and interest for six months, the lender for the Company’s mortgage loan secured by the Brookhill property agreed to defer payments of principal and interest for three months, the lender for the Company’s mortgage loan secured by the Avondale property agreed to require interest-only payments for four months, and the lender under the MVB Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 5) agreed to require interest-only payments for three months. The deferred amount for the Hollinswood mortgage is due in six equal monthly installments beginning November 2020. The deferred amounts for all of the other loans will be due at loan maturity;

 

it has amended the MVB Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 5) to extend the maturity date of the $2.0 million MVB Revolver to December 27, 2022 and to defer the requirement to comply with certain financial covenants until June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021, as applicable. The amendment also eliminates the revolving nature of the facility, requires monthly principal payments as calculated over a 10-year amortization schedule and requires the repayment of $250,000 on each of the following dates (a) the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the closing of the Company’s pending mergers of the Highlandtown and Spotswood properties, (b) the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the closing of the Company’s pending merger of the Greenwood property, (c) March 31, 2022, and (d) September 30, 2022. The $250,000 owed by March 31, 2021 has been paid;

 

it has negotiated the forbearance of certain mortgage covenant defaults, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions that the Company met (as described in Note 5 Covenants”);

 

it has obtained additional liquidity from the Preferred Investor (as defined in Note 5 Basis Preferred Interest”). The Preferred Investor made additional capital contributions, which are treated as debt, available of approximately $2.9 million in the aggregate in order to assist in debt service under the Basis Term Loan (as defined in Note 5Basis Term Loan”) and certain other property level debt. There is approximately $1.0 million of remaining availability to the Company from these funds, which is included in restricted cash; and

 

it has deferred certain capital expenditures and paused acquisition and investment activity other than working to close the remaining six Mergers.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had a mortgage on Lamar Station Plaza East with a principal balance outstanding of approximately $3.5 million that matures during the next 12 months. The Company does not project that it will have sufficient cash available to pay off the mortgage loan upon maturity and is currently in discussions with the lender to exercise a 12-month extension for the mortgage. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful on the extension or refinance of the mortgage loan on favorable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to extend or refinance this mortgage loan, the lender has the right to place the loan in default and ultimately foreclose on the property, in which case the property could be sold and the sale proceeds would be used to pay off the loan. Under this circumstance, the Company would not have any further financial obligations to the lender as the value of this property is in excess of the outstanding loan balance.

Based on the measures described above, the Company believes that it is probable that it will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for the next twelve months.
