NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
BUSINESS
Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “PINE”) is a real estate company that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of commercial net lease properties. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.
Our portfolio consists of 71 net leased retail and office properties located in 49 markets in 22 states. The properties in our portfolio are subject to long-term, primarily triple-net leases, which generally require the tenant to pay all of the property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures.
The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (our “Manager”). CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE: CTO) is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded diversified REIT and the sole member of our Manager (“CTO”).
ORGANIZATION
The Company is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 19, 2019. On November 26, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of its common stock (the “Offering”) as well as a concurrent private placement of shares of common stock to CTO. Net proceeds from the Offering and the concurrent CTO Private Placement (defined below) were used to purchase 15 properties from CTO. Additionally, CTO contributed to Alpine Income Property OP, LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), five additional properties in exchange for operating partnership units (“OP Units”).
The price per share paid in the Offering and the concurrent private placement was $19.00 (the “IPO Price”). The Offering raised $142.5 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock. We also raised $7.5 million from the concurrent private placement to CTO from the issuance of 394,737 shares of our common stock (“CTO Private Placement”). Included in the Offering was CTO’s purchase of 421,053 shares of our common stock for $8.0 million, representing a cash investment by CTO of $15.5 million. A total of $125.9 million of proceeds from the Offering were utilized to acquire 15 properties in our initial portfolio. The remaining five properties in our initial portfolio were contributed by CTO in exchange for 1,223,854 OP Units for a value of $23.3 million based on the IPO Price. The Company incurred a total of $12.0 million of transaction costs, which included underwriting fees of $9.4 million. Upon completion of the Offering, the CTO Private Placement, and the other transactions executed at the time of our listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “PINE” (collectively defined as the “Formation Transactions”), CTO owned 22.3% of our outstanding common stock (assuming the OP Units issued to CTO in the Formation Transactions are exchanged for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis).
We conduct the substantial majority of our operations through, and substantially all of our assets are held by, the Operating Partnership. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpine Income Property GP, LLC (“PINE GP”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2021, we have a total ownership interest in the Operating Partnership of 87.3%, with CTO holding, directly and indirectly, a 9.4% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 3.3% ownership interest is held by an unrelated third party in connection with the issuance of 424,951 OP Units valued at $8.0 million in the aggregate, or $18.85 per unit, based on the Company’s trailing ten day average closing share price at the time of issuance. The 424,951 OP Units were issued as partial consideration for the portfolio of nine net lease properties acquired on June 30, 2021 (see Note 3, “Income Property Portfolio”). Our interest in the Operating Partnership generally entitles us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership. We, through PINE GP, generally have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain approval and voting rights of the limited partners. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) manages our business and affairs.
9
The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income, without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain, to its stockholders (which is computed and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets, and in many industries, business activity has experienced periods of almost complete shutdown. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.
Contractual Base Rent (“CBR”) represents the amount owed to the Company under the current terms of its lease agreements. As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to defer or abate certain CBR in exchange for additional lease term or other lease enhancing additions. Repayments of the remaining balance of deferred CBR began in the third quarter of 2020, with payments continuing, in some cases, through mid-year 2022.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Among other factors, fluctuating market conditions that can exist in the national real estate markets and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets make it possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to PINE’s investment in income properties, could change materially due to continued volatility in the real estate and financial markets, or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment in conducting its impairment analyses. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, an income property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment of long-lived assets is measured at fair value less cost to sell.
10
PURCHASE ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE SUBJECT TO A LEASE
Investments in real estate are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of investments in real estate reflects their purchase price or development cost. We evaluate each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when there is no substantive process acquired or substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the productive capacity of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
In accordance with FASB guidance, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless the management believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease upon expiration, in which case the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
INCOME PROPERTY LEASE REVENUE
The rental arrangements associated with the Company’s income property portfolio are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, contractual lease payment increases are recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The periodic difference between lease income recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms (i.e., straight-line rent) is recorded as a deferred operating lease receivable and is included in straight-line rent adjustment on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s leases provide for reimbursement from tenants for variable lease payments including common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. A portion of our variable lease payment revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued.
The collectability of tenant receivables and straight-line rent adjustments is determined based on, among other things, the aging of the tenant receivable, management’s evaluation of credit risk associated with the tenant and industry of the tenant, and a review of specifically identified accounts using judgment. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is reported at Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which represents valuation based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
11
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash totaled $2.2 million at June 30, 2021, of which $0.6 million is being held in a capital replacement reserve account in connection with our financing of six income properties and $1.6 million is being held in an escrow account for the repayment of the $1.6 million in mortgage notes which were repaid on July 1, 2021.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
Interest Rate Swaps. The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either other assets or accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date each interest rate swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.
The Company documented the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. At the hedges’ inception, the Company formally assessed whether the derivatives that are used in hedging the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items, and we will continue to do so on an ongoing basis. As the terms of the interest rate swaps and the associated debts are identical, both hedging instruments qualify for the shortcut method, therefore, it is assumed that there is no hedge ineffectiveness throughout the entire term of the hedging instruments.
Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items (see Note 9, “Interest Rate Swaps”).
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable included in other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility, hereinafter defined, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage notes payable and Term Loan, hereinafter defined, based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rate used to calculate the fair value of debt approximates current lending rates for loans and assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, which is a Level 2 non-recurring measurement, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:
● | Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
12
● | Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Certain of the tenants in the portfolio of 71 properties accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the properties leased to Wells Fargo Bank, NA represented 15% of total revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the properties leased to Wells Fargo Bank, NA and Hilton Grand Vacations represented 21% and 14% of total revenues, respectively.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, based on square footage, 13% and 17%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate portfolio was located in the State of Florida and 12% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s real estate portfolio was located in the State of North Carolina. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, more than 10%of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the State of Texas and more than 10% of the Company’s real estate portfolio was located in the States of Oregon and Michigan as of December 31, 2020.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation as of March 31, 2021. Specifically, in the first quarter of 2021, the Company reclassified deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, deferred financing costs of $0.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.2 million, were reclassified from long-term debt to other assets as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2021, the Company increased non-cash compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by $0.03 million through a reclassification from accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities within operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows which is the result of timing related to the issuance of shares for director retainers.

Credit Facility. On November 26, 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the maximum aggregate initial original principal amount of up to $100.0 million. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that may allow the Operating Partnership to increase the availability under the Credit Facility by an additional $50.0 million, subject to meeting specified requirements and obtaining additional commitments from lenders. BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Raymond James Bank, N.A. are joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) as administrative agent. The Credit Facility has a base term of four years, with the ability to extend the base term for one year.
On June 30, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership executed the first amendment to the Credit Facility Credit Agreement whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms.
On October 16, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership executed the second amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”), with the addition of two lenders, Huntington National Bank and Truist Bank. As a result of the Second Amendment, the Credit Facility has a total borrowing capacity of $150.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $200.0 million during the term, utilizing an accordion feature, subject to lender approval.
On May 19, 2021, the Company and the Operation Partnership executed the third amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). Among other things, the Third Amendment revised the Credit Facility Credit Agreement to provide that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Operating Partnership shall not permit the ratio of Unsecured Indebtedness to Borrowing Base Value (as defined in the Credit Facility Credit Agreement) to be greater than 0.60 to 1:00. Prior to the Third Amendment, the Credit Facility Credit Agreement provided that as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Operating Partnership could not permit the ratio of Unsecured Indebtedness to Total Asset Value (as defined in the Credit Facility Credit Agreement) to be greater than 0.60 to 1:00.
Pursuant to the Credit Facility Credit Agreement, the indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points, based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Operating Partnership, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity.
The Operating Partnership is subject to customary restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan (hereinafter defined), including, but not limited to, limitations on the Operating Partnership’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. The Credit Facility and Term Loan also contain financial covenants covering the Operating Partnership, including but not limited to, tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios.
At June 30, 2021, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $150.0 million and the Company had an outstanding balance of $50.0 million.
Term Loan. On May 21, 2021, the Operating Partnership, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million with a maturity of five years. Truist Securities, Inc. is acting as sole lead arranger and sole book runner, with Truist Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. Truist Bank, N.A., Bank of Montreal, Raymond James Bank, N.A. and Stifel Bank are lenders under the Term Loan. In addition, the Operating Partnership may request up to three incremental term loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million.
Mortgage Notes Payable. On June 30, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of the CMBS Portfolio from CTO, the Company assumed an existing $30.0 million secured mortgage, which bears a fixed interest rate of 4.33%. The mortgage note matures in October 2034 and is prepayable without penalty beginning in October 2024. Additionally, on June 30, 2021, in connection with the acquisition of two net lease properties from an unrelated third party, the Company assumed mortgage notes totaling an aggregate of $1.6 million, which balance was repaid on July 1, 2021.

NOTE 9. INTEREST RATE SWAPS
During April 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for $50.0 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility as discussed in Note 8, “Long-Term Debt.” During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a gain of approximately $0.15 million, was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on April 30, 2020 and matures on November 26, 2024. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $50.0 million to a fixed rate of 0.48% plus the applicable spread.
During May 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge cash flows tied to changes in the underlying floating interest rate tied to LIBOR for the $60.0 million outstanding balance on the Term Loan as defined in Note 8, “Long-Term Debt.” During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the interest rate swap agreement was 100% effective. Accordingly, the change in fair value on the interest rate swap has been included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our interest rate swap agreement, which was a gain of $0.03 million, was included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The interest rate swap was effective on May 21, 2021 and matures on May 21, 2026. The interest rate swap fixed the variable rate debt on the notional amount of related debt of $60.0 million to a fixed rate of 0.81% plus the applicable spread.
NOTE 10. EQUITY
SHELF REGISTRATION
On December 1, 2020, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, relating to the registration and potential issuance of its common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, and units with a maximum aggregate offering price of up to $350.0 million. The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Form S-3 effective on December 11, 2020.
ATM PROGRAM
On December 14, 2020, the Company implemented a $100.0 million “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “2020 ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 176,028 shares under the 2020 ATM Program for $3.2 million at a weighted average price of $18.06 per share, generating net proceeds of $3.1 million after deducting fees totaling $0.05 million paid on the sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold 610,229 shares under the 2020 ATM Program for $11.1 million at a weighted average price of $18.19 per share, generating net proceeds of $10.9 million after deducting fees totaling $0.2 million paid on the sales.
FOLLOW-ON PUBLIC OFFERING
In June 2021, the Company completed a follow-on public offering of 3,220,000 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 420,000 shares of common stock. Upon closing, the Company issued 3,220,000 shares and received net proceeds of $54.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses.
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
As of June 30, 2021, CTO holds, directly and indirectly, a 9.4% noncontrolling ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as a result of 1,223,854 OP Units issued to CTO at the time of the Company’s Formation Transactions, as further described in Note 1, “Business and Organization.” An additional 3.3% noncontrolling ownership interest is held by an unrelated third party in connection with the issuance of 424,951 OP Units valued at $8.0 million, reflecting $18.85 per unit, based on the Company’s trailing ten day average closing share price at the time of issuance. The 424,951 OP Units were issued as partial consideration for the portfolio of nine net lease properties acquired on June 30, 2021.
21
DIVIDENDS
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the Company. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its common stock and OP Units of $0.25 per share and $0.49 per share, respectively.
NOTE 11. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are determined based on the assumption of the conversion of OP Units on a one-for-one basis using the treasury stock method at average market prices for the periods.
The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

NOTE 12. SHARE REPURCHASES
In March 2020, the Board approved a $5.0 million stock repurchase program (the “$5.0 Million Repurchase Program”). During the first half of 2020, the Company repurchased 456,237 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $5.0 million, or an average price per share of $11.02 which completed the $5.0 Million Repurchase Program. There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
22
NOTE 13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company adopted the Individual Equity Incentive Plan (the “Individual Plan”) and the Manager Equity Incentive Plan (the “Manager Plan”), which are collectively referred to herein as the Equity Incentive Plans. The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plans is to provide equity incentive opportunities to members of the Manager’s management team and employees who perform services for the Company, the Company’s independent directors, advisers, consultants and other personnel, either individually or via grants of incentive equity to the Manager.
On November 26, 2019, in connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company granted restricted shares of common stock to each of the non-employee directors under the Individual Plan. Each of the non-employee directors received an award of 2,000 restricted shares of common stock on November 26, 2019. The restricted shares will vest in substantially equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. As of June 30, 2021, the first increment of this award had vested, leaving 5,336 shares unvested. In addition, the restricted shares are subject to a holding period beginning on the grant date and ending on the date that the grantee ceases to serve as a member of the Board (the “Holding Period”). During the Holding Period, the restricted shares may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred by the grantee. Except for the grant of these 8,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, the Company has not made any grants under the Equity Incentive Plans. Any future grants under the Equity Incentive Plans will be approved by the compensation committee of the Board. The 2019 non-employee director share awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $0.2 million. The Company’s determination of the grant date fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Award forfeitures are accounted for in the period in which they occur. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized stock compensation expense totaling $0.01 million. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized stock compensation expense totaling $0.03 million.
A summary of activity for these awards during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is presented below:
Non-Vested Restricted Shares |
| Shares |
| Wtd. Avg. Fair Value | ||
Outstanding at January 1, 2021 | 5,336 | $ | 18.80 | |||
Granted | — | — | ||||
Vested | — | — | ||||
Expired | — | — | ||||
Forfeited | — | — | ||||
Non-Vested at June 30, 2021 | 5,336 | $ | 18.80 |
As of June 30, 2021, there was $0.07 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the three-year vest restricted shares, which will be recognized over a remaining period of 1.4 years.
Each member of the Board has the option to receive his or her annual retainer in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director by the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.1 million, or 6,978 shares, of which 3,453 shares were issued on April 1, 2021 and 3,525 shares were issued on July 1, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.1 million, or 7,512 shares, of which 4,098 shares were issued on April 1, 2020 and 3,414 shares were issued on July 1, 2020.

Stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is summarized as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||
June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||||

Total Stock Compensation Expense (1) | $ | 79 | $ | 68 | $ | 152 | $ | 135 |
(1) | Director retainers are issued through additional paid in capital in arrears. Therefore, the change in additional paid in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2021 reported on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity does not agree to the total non-cash compensation reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY
We are externally managed by the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. In addition to the CTO Private Placement, CTO purchased from us $8.0 million in shares of our common stock, or 421,053 shares, in the IPO. Upon completion of the Formation Transactions, CTO owned 22.3% of our outstanding common stock (assuming the OP Units issued to CTO in the Formation Transactions are exchanged for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis).
On November 26, 2019, we entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager manages, operates and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by the Board. We pay our Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.
Our Manager has the ability to earn an annual incentive fee based on our total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. We would pay our Manager an incentive fee to with respect to each annual measurement period in the amount of the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was due for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on November 26, 2024 and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms.
Our independent directors will review our Manager’s performance and the management fees annually and, following the initial term, the Management Agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of
-thirds of our independent directors or upon a determination by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based upon (i) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to us or (ii) a determination that the management fees payable to our Manager are not fair, subject to our Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of management fees agreed to by -thirds of our independent directors. We may also terminate the Management Agreement for cause at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, with 30 days’ prior written notice from the Board. During the initial term of the Management Agreement, we may not terminate the Management Agreement except for cause.We will pay directly or reimburse our Manager for certain expenses, if incurred by our Manager. We will not reimburse any compensation expenses incurred by our Manager or its affiliates. Expense reimbursements to our Manager will be made in cash on a quarterly basis following the end of each quarter. In addition, we will pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement.
24
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred management fee expenses which totaled $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock and OP Units owned by affiliates of the Manager in the amount of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company incurred management fee expenses which totaled $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock and OP Units owned by affiliates of the Manager in the amount of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The following table represents amounts due from the Company to CTO (in thousands):

(2) | Included in Accrued Expenses, see Note 7, “Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, and Other Liabilities”. |
Exclusivity and ROFO Agreement
On November 26, 2019, we also entered into an exclusivity and right of first offer (“ROFO”) agreement with CTO. During the term of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement, CTO will not, and will cause each of its affiliates (which for purposes of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will not include our company and our subsidiaries) not to, acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, unless CTO has notified us of the opportunity and we have affirmatively rejected the opportunity to acquire the applicable property or properties.
The terms of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement do not restrict CTO or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.
Pursuant to the exclusivity and ROFO agreement, neither CTO nor any of its affiliates (which for purposes of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement does not include our company and our subsidiaries) may sell to any third party any single-tenant, net leased property that was owned by CTO or any of its affiliates as of the closing date of the IPO or that is developed and owned by CTO or any of its affiliates after the closing date of the IPO, without first offering us the right to purchase such property.
The term of the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will continue for so long as the Management Agreement with our Manager is in effect.
On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a certain subsidiary of CTO for the purchase of one net lease property (the “Single Property”) for $11.5 million. The acquisition of the Single Property was completed on April 23, 2021.
On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a separate purchase and sale agreement with certain subsidiaries of CTO for the purchase of the CMBS Portfolio. The terms of the purchase and sale agreement, as amended on April 20, 2021, provided a total purchase price of $44.5 million for the CMBS Portfolio. The acquisition of the CMBS Portfolio was completed on June 30, 2021.
The entry into the purchase and sale agreements, and subsequent completion of acquisitions, are a result of the Company exercising its right to purchase the Single Property and CMBS Portfolio under the ROFO agreement.
25
Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future with CTO and its affiliates, including our Manager, the individuals who serve as our executive officers and executive officers of CTO, any individual who serves as a director of our company and as a director of CTO and any limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Conflicts may include, without limitation: conflicts arising from the enforcement of agreements between us and CTO or our Manager; conflicts in the amount of time that executive officers and employees of CTO, who are provided to us through our Manager, will spend on our affairs versus CTO’s affairs; and conflicts in future transactions that we may pursue with CTO and its affiliates. We do not generally expect to enter into joint ventures with CTO, but if we do so, the terms and conditions of our joint venture investment will be subject to the approval of a majority of disinterested directors of the Board.
In addition, we are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our Manager. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is obligated to supply us with our senior management team. However, our Manager is not obligated to dedicate any specific CTO personnel exclusively to us, nor are the CTO personnel provided to us by our Manager obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business. Additionally, our Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO and one of our officers (John P. Albright) is also a member of CTO’s board of directors. As a result, our Manager and the CTO personnel it provides to us may have conflicts between their duties to us and their duties to, and interests in, CTO.
We may acquire or sell single-tenant, net leased properties in which our Manager or its affiliates have or may have an interest. Similarly, our Manager or its affiliates may acquire or sell single-tenant, net leased properties in which we have or may have an interest. Although such acquisitions or dispositions may present conflicts of interest, we nonetheless may pursue and consummate such transactions. Additionally, we may engage in transactions directly with our Manager or its affiliates, including the purchase and sale of all or a portion of a portfolio asset. If we acquire a single-tenant, net leased property from CTO or one of its affiliates or sell a single-tenant, net leased property to CTO or one of its affiliates, the purchase price we pay to CTO or one of its affiliates or the purchase price paid to us by CTO or one of its affiliates may be higher or lower, respectively, than the purchase price that would have been paid to or by us if the transaction were the result of arms’ length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party.
In deciding whether to issue additional debt or equity securities, we will rely, in part, on recommendations made by our Manager. While such decisions are subject to the approval of the Board, our Manager is entitled to be paid a base management fee that is based on our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement). As a result, our Manager may have an incentive to recommend that we issue additional equity securities at dilutive prices.
All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO. These individuals and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager devote as much time to us as our Manager deems appropriate. However, our executive officers and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager may have conflicts in allocating their time and services between us, on the one hand, and CTO and its affiliates, on the other. During a period of prolonged economic weakness or another economic downturn affecting the real estate industry or at other times when we need focused support and assistance from our Manager and the CTO executive officers and other personnel provided to us through our Manager, we may not receive the necessary support and assistance we require or that we would otherwise receive if we were self-managed.
Additionally, the exclusivity and ROFO agreement does contain exceptions to CTO’s exclusivity for opportunities that include only an incidental interest in single-tenant, net leased properties. Accordingly, the exclusivity and ROFO agreement will not prevent CTO from pursuing certain acquisition opportunities that otherwise satisfy our then-current investment criteria.
Our directors and executive officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, PINE GP has fiduciary duties, as the general partner, to the Operating Partnership and to the limited partners under Delaware law in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. These duties as a general partner to the Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and executive officers to us. Unless otherwise provided for in the relevant partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of loyalty and care and which generally prohibits such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest. The partnership agreement provides that in the event of a conflict between the interests of our stockholders on the one hand and the limited
26
partners of the Operating Partnership on the other hand, PINE GP will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners; provided, however, that so long as we own a controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, any such conflict that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners of the Operating Partnership shall be resolved in favor of our stockholders, and we shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the limited partners in connection with such decisions.
NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of business.

References to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the comments we make in this section are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those the Company anticipates or projects are described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Certain statements contained in this report (other than statements of historical fact) are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market; the impact of a prolonged recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and income properties; the impact of competitive real estate activity; the loss of any major income property tenants; the ultimate geographic spread, severity and duration of pandemics such as the outbreak of COVID-19, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain or address the impact of such pandemics, and the potential negative impacts of such pandemics on the global economy and our financial condition and results of operations; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.
See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion of these risks. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
OVERVIEW
We are a real estate company that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of commercial properties located in the United States. Our properties are generally leased on a long-term basis and located primarily in, or in close proximity to major metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, and in growth markets and other markets in the United States with favorable economic and demographic conditions. Our properties are primarily leased to industry leading, creditworthy tenants, many of which operate in industries we believe are resistant to the impact of e-commerce or defensive in nature against economic uncertainty or disruption. The properties in our portfolio are primarily triple-net leases which generally require the tenant to pay all of the property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures. Our portfolio consists of 71 net leased retail and office properties located in 49 markets in 22 states. Twenty of these properties, representing our initial portfolio, were acquired
28
from CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (“CTO”) in the formation transactions, utilizing $125.9 million of proceeds from our initial public offering of our common stock (the “IPO”) and the issuance of 1,223,854 units of our operating partnership (the “OP Units”) that had an initial value of $23.3 million based on the IPO price of $19.00 per share (the “IPO Price”). The remaining 51 properties were acquired subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019. Four properties in our portfolio are long-term ground leases where we are the lessor to the tenant.
We seek to acquire, own and operate primarily freestanding, commercial real estate properties primarily located in our target markets leased primarily pursuant to triple-net, long-term leases. Within our target markets, we will focus on investments primarily in retail properties. We will target tenants in industries that we believe are favorably impacted by current macroeconomic trends that support consumer spending, such as strong and growing employment and positive consumer sentiment, as well as tenants in industries that have demonstrated resistance to the impact of the growing e-commerce retail sector. We also will seek to invest in properties that are net leased to tenants that we determine have attractive credit characteristics, stable operating histories and healthy rent coverage levels, are well-located within their market and have rent levels at or below market rent levels. Furthermore, we believe that the size of our company will, for at least the near term, allow us to focus our investment activities on the acquisition of single properties or smaller portfolios of properties that represent a transaction size that most of our publicly-traded net lease REIT peers will not pursue on a consistent basis.
Our objective is to maximize cash flow and value per share by generating stable and growing cash flows and attractive risk-adjusted returns through owning, operating and growing a diversified portfolio of high-quality net leased commercial properties with strong long-term real estate fundamentals. The 71 properties in our portfolio are 100% occupied and represent 2.3 million of gross rentable square feet. As of June 30, 2021, our leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 8.0 years based on annualized base rent.
Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals and target markets, including major markets or those markets experiencing significant economic growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g., location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g., credit-worthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g., tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g., strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s structure, etc.).
The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO (our “Manager”). CTO is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded diversified REIT and the sole member of our Manager.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”), which has spread throughout the United States. The spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic has continued to cause significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets, and in many industries, business activity has experienced periods of almost complete shutdown. There continues to be uncertainty around the duration and severity of business disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as its impact on the U.S. economy and international economies.
Contractual Base Rent (“CBR”) represents the amount owed to the Company under the current terms of its lease agreements. As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company agreed to defer or abate certain CBR in exchange for additional lease term or other lease enhancing additions. Repayments of the remaining balance of deferred CBR began in the third quarter of 2020, with payments continuing, in some cases, through mid-year 2022.

Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $0.7 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The $0.1 million decrease is primarily attributable to the recognition of $0.3 million, during the first quarter of 2020, of costs associated with audit services related to the 2019 annual audit, offset by increased management fee expenses totaling $0.1 million attributable to growth in the Company’s equity base. The management fees that the Company pays to the Manager are based on the Company’s total equity, as defined in the management agreement.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $6.6 million and $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $2.3 million increase in the depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the Company’s expanded income property portfolio, as described above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $1.2 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $0.6 million increase in interest expense is attributable to the higher average outstanding debt balance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The overall increase in the Company’s long-term debt was utilized to fund the acquisition of 18 income properties during the periods subsequent to June 30, 2020 through the year ended December 31, 2020 in addition to the acquisition of 23 income properties during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net Income
Net income totaled $0.9 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net income is attributable to the factors described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash totaled $8.5 million at June 30, 2021, including restricted cash of $2.2 million, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance at June 30, 2021.
Long-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $100.0 million available on the Credit Facility. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” for the Company’s disclosure related to its long-term debt balance at June 30, 2021.
Acquisitions and Investments. As noted previously, the Company acquired 23 income properties during the six months ended June 30, 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of $103.2 million, as further described in Note 3, “Income Property Portfolio”.
Dispositions. No income properties were disposed of during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
34
Capital Expenditures. As of June 30, 2021 the Company had no commitments related to capital expenditures.
We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations and $100.0 million of available capacity on the existing $150.0 million Credit Facility, based on our current borrowing base of income properties, as of June 30, 2021.
The Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our stockholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy of investing in net leased income properties by utilizing the capital we raised in the IPO and available borrowing capacity from the Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of capitalized lease incentives and above- and below-market lease related intangibles, and non-cash compensation. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.
FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and more fully described in the notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. During the three months ended
36
June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies affecting the application of those accounting policies as noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
