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

8

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:

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.

Note 2 - Accounting Policies and Related Matters

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim reports. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a

9

full year. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual reports. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021.

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

For information about significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to these policies except as noted below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standard also requires additional disclosures related to significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio.  Operating lease receivables are excluded from the scope of this guidance. The amended guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740. The ASU also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 740-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, that simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification. The guidance also provides clarifications to improve the consistency of earnings per share calculations and requires new disclosures regarding convertible instruments. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The table below details the Company’s debt balance at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

11

Basis Term Loan

In December 2019, six of the Company’s subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Big Real Estate Finance I, LLC, a subsidiary of a real estate fund managed by Basis Management Group, LLC, as lender (the “Basis Lender”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Basis Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Basis Lender made a senior secured term loan of up to $66.9 million (the “Basis Term Loan”) to the Borrowers. Pursuant to the Basis Loan Agreement, the Basis Term Loan is secured by mortgages on the following properties: Coral Hills, Crestview, Dekalb, Midtown Colonial, Midtown Lamonticello and West Broad. The Basis Term Loan matures on January 1, 2023, subject to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Basis Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 3.850% per annum and (ii) 6.125% per annum. The Borrowers have entered into an interest rate cap that effectively caps LIBOR at 3.50% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate of the Basis Term Loan was 6.125% and the outstanding balance was $66.9 million.

The Basis Loan Agreement includes a debt service coverage calculation based on the trailing twelve months results which includes an adjustment for tenants that are more than one-month delinquent in paying rent. A debt service coverage ratio below 1.10x is a Cash Trap Trigger Event (as defined in the loan agreement), which gives the Basis Lender the right to institute a cash management period until the trigger is cured. A debt service coverage ratio below 1.05x for two consecutive calendar quarters gives the Basis Lender the right to remove the Company as manager of the properties. The Company was in compliance with debt service coverage calculation for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.

Basis Preferred Interest

In December 2019, the Operating Partnership and Big BSP Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of a real estate fund managed by Basis Management Group, LLC (the “Preferred Investor”), entered into an amended and restated operating agreement (the “Sub-OP Operating Agreement”) of the Broad Street Big First OP LLC (the “Sub-OP”), a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, among other things, the Preferred Investor committed to make an investment of up to $10.7 million in the Sub-OP, of which $6.9 million had been funded as of March 31, 2021, in exchange for a 1.0% membership interest in the Sub-OP designated as Class A units.

Pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Preferred Investor is entitled to a cumulative annual return of 14.0% on its initial capital contribution (the “Class A Return”), and the Preferred Investor will be entitled to a 20% return (the “Enhanced Class A Return”) on any capital contribution made to the Sub-OP in excess of the $10.7 million commitment. The Preferred Investor’s interests must be redeemed on or before the earlier of: (i) January 1, 2023 and (ii) the date on which the Basis Term Loan is paid in full (the “Redemption Date”). The Redemption Date may be extended to December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, in each case subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee equal to 0.25% of the Preferred Investor’s net invested capital for the first extension option and a fee of 0.50% of the Preferred Investor’s net invested capital for the second extension option. If the redemption price is paid on or before the Redemption Date, then the redemption price will be equal to (a) all unreturned capital contributions made by the Preferred Investor, (b) all accrued but unpaid Class A Return, (c) all accrued but unpaid Enhanced Class A Return and (d) all costs and other expenses incurred by the Preferred Investor in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the Sub-OP Operating Agreement. Additionally, at the Redemption Date, the Preferred Investor is entitled to an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the aggregate amount of capital contributions made and (ii) 0.4, less (b) the aggregate amount of Class A return payments made to the Preferred Investor (the “Minimum Multiple Amount”). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Minimum Multiple Amount was approximately $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which is included as indebtedness on the consolidated balance sheet.

On June 16, 2020, the Preferred Investor made two additional capital contributions available to the Sub-OP in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.9 million, which is classified as debt. The two capital contributions consisted of: (i) a $2.4 million capital contribution to the Sub-OP that the Sub-OP contributed to the Borrowers for purposes of making debt service payments under the Basis Loan Agreement and (ii) a $0.5 million capital contribution to the Sub-OP that the Sub-OP contributed to certain of its other property owning subsidiaries for purposes of making debt service payments on mortgage debt secured by the properties owned by such subsidiaries and making payments of the Class A return due to the Preferred Investor pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement. The Preferred Investor is entitled to a cumulative annual return of 13.0% on the additional capital contributions. As described below under the heading “—Mortgage Indebtedness,” the Company repaid approximately $0.75 million of these funds with the proceeds from

12

the Vista mortgage refinance. As of the date of these financial statements, there was approximately $1.0 million remaining available to the Company from these capital contributions, which is included in restricted cash.  

MVB Loan

In December 2019, the Company, the Operating Partnership and BSR entered into a loan agreement (the “MVB Loan Agreement”) with MVB Bank, Inc. (“MVB”) with respect to a $6.5 million loan consisting of a $4.5 million term loan (the “MVB Term Loan”) and a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (the “MVB Revolver”). The MVB Term Loan matures on December 27, 2022 and the MVB Revolver had an original maturity date of December 27, 2020, which has been extended to December 27, 2022 under the terms described below. The MVB Term Loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.75% per annum. The MVB Revolver carries an interest rate of the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus 1.5% and (ii) 6.75%.

The Company has no additional availability under the MVB Term Loan and the MVB Revolver as of March 31, 2021.

The MVB Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The MVB Loan Agreement also requires the Company to maintain (as such terms are defined in the MVB Loan Agreement) (i) a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00, (ii) an EBITDA to consolidated funded debt ratio of at least 8.0%, (iii) an aggregate minimum unencumbered cash, including funds available under other lines of credit, of greater than $5.0 million (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”), and (iv) one or more deposit accounts with MVB with an aggregate minimum balance of $3.0 million (the “Deposit Requirement”). The failure to comply with the Deposit Requirement is not a default under the MVB Loan Agreement but will increase the interest rate under the MVB Term Loan and MVB Revolver by 1.0% until the Deposit Requirement has been satisfied.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the MVB Loan Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the MVB Revolver to December 27, 2021, and, in March 2021, the Company entered into another amendment to the MVB Loan Agreement which extended the maturity date of the MVB Revolver to December 27, 2022. The amendments also eliminate the revolving nature of the facility, require monthly principal payments as calculated over a 10-year amortization schedule, and require 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 payment owed by March 31, 2021 has been paid. Additionally, the amendments (i) deferred testing for covenants related to the Deposit Requirement, Minimum Liquidity Requirement and debt service coverage ratio covenant until June 30, 2021, (ii) deferred testing for the covenant related to the Company’s EBITDA to consolidated funded debt ratio until December 31, 2021, (iii) modified the debt service coverage ratio to 1.00 to 1 and (iv) modified the Minimum Liquidity Requirement to $3.0 million. These amendments were treated as modifications under applicable accounting standards.

Mortgage Indebtedness

In addition to the indebtedness described above, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $41.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively, of outstanding mortgage indebtedness secured by individual properties. The Hollinswood mortgage, Vista mortgage, Brookhill mortgage, and Lamar Station Plaza East mortgage require the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the respective loan agreements) of at least 1.40 to 1.00, 1.50 to 1.00, 1.35 to 1.00, and 1.25 to 1.00, respectively.

In March 2021, the Company completed the refinance of the Vista Shops mortgage loan. The new loan has a principal balance of $11.7 million, matures in June 2023, and carries an interest rate of 3.83% per annum. The Company deposited approximately $1.9 million of the proceeds from the refinance with the Basis Lender, which was applied as follows during the second quarter of 2021: (i) repaid approximately $0.75 million of the outstanding principal balance on the capital contributions, which are treated as debt, provided to the Company in June 2020 under the Basis Preferred Interest as described above under the heading “—Basis Preferred Interest”, (ii) paid approximately $46,000 in accrued interest on these funds and (iii) contributed approximately $1.1 million into an escrow account with the Basis Lender which will be used to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the capital contributions upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

PPP Loans

On April 20, 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a promissory note (the “PPP Note”) with MVB with respect to an unsecured loan of approximately $0.8 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per year. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received forgiveness for its entire balance of the PPP Loan from the SBA, which is recognized as a gain on debt extinguishment in the Company’s statement of operations.   

On March 18, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Second PPP Note”) with MVB with respect to an unsecured loan of approximately $0.8 million (the “Second PPP Loan”) pursuant to the PPP. The Second PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per year. The Second PPP Note contains certain events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make any payment when due and material adverse changes in the borrower’s financial condition. The occurrence of an event

13

of default, following any applicable cure period, would permit MVB to declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the PPP Note to be immediately due and payable.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of a loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and certain mortgage interest, rent and utility expenses. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements under any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. The Company can provide no assurances that it will obtain forgiveness of the Second PPP Loan in whole or in part. If the Company does not obtain forgiveness it is required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest to repay the loan in full upon maturity on March 18, 2026.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discounts

The total amount of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1.6 million, gross ($1.1 million, net) and $1.4 million, gross ($0.9 million, net), respectively. Debt discounts associated with the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $1.5 million, gross ($0.9 million, net) and $1.4 million, gross ($0.9 million, net), respectively. Deferred financing costs and debt discounts are netted against the debt balance outstanding on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of the related debt.

The Company recognized amortization expense of deferred financing costs and debt discounts, included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, of approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Debt Maturities

The following table details the Company’s scheduled principal repayments and maturities during each of the next five years and thereafter as of March 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate Cap and Interest Rate Swap Agreements

To mitigate exposure to interest rate risk, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective December 27, 2019, on the full $66.9 million Basis Term Loan to cap the variable LIBOR interest rate at 3.5%. The Basis Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 3.850% per annum and (ii) 6.125% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate of the Basis Term Loan was 6.125%. The Company also entered into two interest rate swap agreements on the Hollinswood Loan to fix the interest rate at 4.06%. The swap agreements are effective as of December 27, 2019 on the outstanding balance of $10.2 million and on July 1, 2021 for the additional availability of $3.0 million under the Hollinswood Loan.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, are recognized in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million in income and $0.6 million in expense, respectively, related to fair value adjustments on derivatives.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was an interest rate cap asset of less than $0.1 million for each period and an interest rate swap liability of approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The interest rate cap asset is included in Other assets, net and the interest rate swap liability is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

Covenants

The Company’s loan agreements contain customary financial and operating covenants including debt service coverage ratios and aggregate minimum unencumbered cash covenants. As described above under the heading “—MVB Loan”, the lender under the MVB Loan Agreement deferred covenant tests until June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in

14

compliance with all of the covenants under its debt agreements except for the debt service coverage ratio covenant under the Lamar Station Plaza East mortgage as described below.

In July 2020 the Company completed the Merger to acquire Lamar Station Plaza East, which included the assumption of $2.5 million in debt. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement, which increased the maximum principal amount available under the assumed loan agreement to $4.1 million. The loan was in default of the debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) upon the Company’s assumption of the loan agreement. 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 loan modification agreement effective November 2020 pursuant to which the lender agreed to forbear enforcement of the events of default subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions including (i) issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a specified tenant on or before January 31, 2021 and (ii) the specified tenant taking full possession and occupancy of the space on or before January 31, 2021. The Company met both conditions required by the second loan modification. The lender’s forbearance applied to the default of the debt service coverage ratio calculation through December 31, 2020. The next debt service coverage ratio testing date is June 30, 2021 and the loan matures in July 2021.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As detailed in Note 1 under the heading “—Merger with MedAmerica Properties Inc.”, there are six Mergers that have not been completed. The Company will issue an aggregate of 10,400,779 shares of common stock and 573,529 OP units as consideration for the additional Mergers. Until the closing of the remaining Mergers, the Company will continue to manage these six properties and earn management fees.

Contingencies

Impact of COVID-19

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including the impact on its tenants and rental revenue. The Company has observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of limited operations among its tenants, which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments and requests from tenants for temporary rental relief. In some cases, the Company may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to the Company as those currently in place. In addition, lease renewals and new leasing activity are expected to be adversely impacted as businesses delay executing leases amidst the immediate and uncertain future economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the Company’s future operational and financial performance, financial condition and liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration and intensity of the pandemic, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Given this uncertainty, the Company cannot accurately predict the effect on future periods, but the Company expects the pandemic and the related government measures to have an adverse impact on its financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows and the impact could be material.

Beginning in April 2020 and through the date of these financial statements, 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. To date, the weighted average payback period of deferred rent is approximately seven months which commences at various times beginning in July 2020 through June 2021. Rent deferrals to date may not be indicative of rent deferrals in any future period.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company or its properties may be subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s lessees and borrowers have indemnified, and are obligated to continue to indemnify, the Company against all liabilities arising from the operations of the properties and are further obligated to indemnify it against environmental or title problems affecting the real estate underlying such facilities. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 7 - Equity  

Noncontrolling Interest

As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned an 88.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and investors in the Broad Street Entities receiving OP units as consideration for the Initial Mergers collectively owned an 11.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. Commencing on the 12-month anniversary of the date on which the OP units were issued, each limited partner of the Operating Partnership (other than the Company) has the right, subject to certain terms and conditions, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP units held by such limited partner in exchange for cash based on the market price of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option and sole discretion, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of stock options, share awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock units), share appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards, annual cash incentive awards and other equity-based awards, including LTIP units, which are convertible on a one-for-one basis into OP units. As of March 31, 2021, the Plan had 3,620,000 shares authorized for issuance with 3,466,800 shares available for future issuance, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Plan. Each share subject to an award granted under the Plan will reduce the available shares under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors.

Restricted Stock

Awards of restricted stock are awards of the Company’s common stock that are subject to restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as established by the Company’s compensation committee on the date of grant that are generally subject to forfeiture if employment (or service as a director) terminates prior to vesting. Upon vesting, all restrictions would lapse. Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement, a participant awarded restricted stock will have all of the rights of a stockholder as to those shares, including, without limitation, the right to vote and the right to receive dividends on the shares.  The value of the awards is determined based on the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock ratably over the vesting period.  

The following table summarizes the stock-based award activity under the Plan for the year three months ended March 31, 2021. There was no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Compensation expense related to these share-based payments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $21,000 and was included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The remaining unrecognized costs from stock-based awards as of March 31, 2021 was less than $0.1 million and will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years.  

Option Awards

In connection with the completion of the Initial Mergers, the Company assumed option awards previously issued to directors and officers of MedAmerica. Details of these options for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the tables below.

16

The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes method, which takes into account variables such as estimated volatility, expected holding period, dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is the five-year treasury rate at the date of grant. The expected life is based on the contractual life of the options at the date of grant. All 70,000 outstanding options were fully vested at grant date. The exercise price of the outstanding options exceeded the closing price of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2021. The intrinsic value is not material.

Note 8 – Revenues

Disaggregated Revenue

The following tables represents a disaggregation of revenues from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 by type of service (dollars in thousands):

Leasing Operations

Minimum cash rental payments due to the Company in future periods under executed non-cancelable operating leases in place for the Company’s properties as of March 31, 2021 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Note 9 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is determined based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible. Potentially dilutive securities include stock options, convertible preferred stock, restricted stock, and OP units, which, subject to certain terms and conditions, may be tendered for redemption by the holder thereof for cash based on the market price of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option and sole discretion, for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. Stock options, convertible preferred stock, restricted stock, and OP units

17

have been omitted from the Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact due to the net loss position.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 10 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis currently include derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are valued in the market using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation model for interest rate caps and interest rate swaps are observable in active markets and are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap, which is included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets was less than $0.1 million at both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, was approximately $0.6 million and $0.7 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 5 “—Interest Rate Cap and Interest Rate Swap Agreements” for further discussion regarding the Company’s interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Carried at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and payables are reasonable estimates of their fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, due to their short-term nature of these instruments (Level 1).

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s indebtedness was comprised of borrowings that bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and borrowings at fixed rates. The fair value of the Company’s $93.8 million and $101.9 million in borrowings under variable rates at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, approximate their carrying values as the debt is at variable rates currently available and resets on a monthly basis.

The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is estimated by using Level 2 inputs such as discounting the estimated future cash flows using current market rates for similar loans that would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. As of March 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s $32.4 million fixed rate debt was estimated to be approximately $32.8 million. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s $21.1 million fixed rate debt was estimated to be approximately $21.6 million.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible.

Note 11 – Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 reflects an income tax benefit of approximately $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, at an effective tax rate of 24.3% and 24.0%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate is primarily due to the loss attributable to the partnership not subject to tax and state income taxes.

18

Note 12 – Related Party Transactions

Receivables and Payables

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.2 million in receivables due from related parties, included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, which relates to receivables due from properties managed by the Company which were provided to the properties for working capital. Additionally, the Company had $1.1 million in payables due to properties managed by the Company related to amounts borrowed by the Company for working capital, which are reflected in Payables due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.2 million in receivables due from related parties, included in Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet, which relates to receivables due from properties managed by the Company which were provided to the properties for working capital. Additionally, the Company had $0.7 million in payables due to properties managed by the Company related to amounts borrowed by the Company for working capital, which are reflected in Payables due to related parties on the consolidated balance sheet.

Approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was generated from related parties. Additionally, approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million of the Company’s accounts receivable, net balance at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was owed from related parties.

During 2019, the Company agreed to pay $1.5 million of consideration to Mr. Yockey in exchange for repurchasing a portion of his ownership interest in BSR prior to the Mergers. Approximately $1.0 million of this consideration was paid to Mr. Yockey in January 2020 and the remaining $0.5 million is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.

The Mergers

As consideration in the Mergers that have closed as of the date of these financial statements, as a result of their interests in the Broad Street Entities party to such Mergers, (i) Mr. Jacoby received 2,004,146 shares of the Company’s common stock and 856,805 OP units, (ii) Mr. Yockey received 2,004,146 shares of the Company’s common stock and 420,523 OP units, (iii) Alexander Topchy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, received an aggregate of 96,281 shares of the Company’s common stock and 48,320 OP units and (iv) Daniel J.W. Neal, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, received, directly or indirectly, 521,996 shares of the Company’s common stock. As consideration in the remaining six Mergers as a result of their interests in the remaining Broad Street Entities, (i) Mr. Jacoby will receive an aggregate of approximately 547,513 shares of the Company’s common stock and 136,213 OP units, (ii) Mr. Yockey will receive an aggregate of approximately 547,513 shares of the Company’s common stock and 136,213 OP units, (iii) Mr. Topchy will receive 43,001 shares of the Company’s common stock and 14,338 OP units and (iv) Mr. Neal will receive, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of approximately 361,127 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Management Fees

The Company provides management services for the six properties to be acquired as of March 31, 2021 in the remaining Mergers. For each property, the Company receives a management fee ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% of such property’s gross income. As described above, Messrs. Jacoby, Yockey, Topchy and Neal have interests in some or all of the Broad Street Entities that own the six properties.

Messrs. Jacoby and Yockey, along with Mr. Topchy, Jeffrey H. Foster, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Aras Holden, the Company’s vice president of asset management and acquisitions, own an interest in BBL Current Investors LLC (“BBL”). BBL is redeveloping a property adjacent to the Company’s Midtown Colonial property into a mixed-use facility with retail on the ground floor and multi-family above. When the redevelopment is complete, the Company will manage the retail portion of the property and will receive management fees from BBL. However, the Company will have no ownership interest in the property.

Ground Lease

The Company owns the fee-simple interest in the land that the Cromwell Field Shopping Center, a property managed by the Company, is located on under a leasehold interest. The Company leases the land to the owner of the Cromwell Field Shopping Center pursuant to a ground lease and recognized less than $0.1 million of revenue under the ground lease for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Tax Protection Agreements

On December 27, 2019, pursuant to the Merger Agreements, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into tax protection agreements (the “Tax Protection Agreements”) with each of the prior investors in BSV Colonial Investor LLC, BSV Lamonticello Investors LLC and BSV Patrick Street Member LLC, including Mr. Jacoby, Mr. Yockey and Mr. Topchy, in connection with their receipt of OP units in certain of the Initial Mergers. Pursuant to the Tax Protection Agreements, until the seventh anniversary of the completion of the Initial Mergers, the Company and the Operating Partnership may be required to indemnify the other parties thereto for their tax liabilities related to built-in gain that exists with respect to the properties known as Midtown Colonial, Midtown Lamonticello and Vista Shops at Golden Mile (the “Protected Properties”). Furthermore, until the seventh anniversary of the completion of the Initial Mergers, the Company and the Operating Partnership will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any

19

event, including a sale of the Protected Properties, that triggers built-in gain to the other parties to the Tax Protection Agreements, subject to certain exceptions, including like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Guarantees

The Company’s subsidiaries’ obligations under the Basis Term Loan Agreement, the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, and the Brookhill mortgage loan are guaranteed by Mr. Jacoby and Mr. Yockey. We have agreed to indemnify Mr. Yockey for any losses he incurs as a result of his guarantee of the Basis Term Loan, the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, and the Brookhill mortgage loan. Mr. Jacoby is also a guarantor under the MVB Loan Agreement and the Cromwell land loan.

Consulting Agreement

The Company has engaged Timbergate Ventures, LLC, an entity wholly owned by Mr. Yockey, as a consultant for a two-year term beginning December 27, 2019. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Company pays Timbergate Ventures, LLC a consulting fee of $0.2 million per year. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately $50,000 was recorded in general and administrative expenses related to this consulting agreement.

Samuel M. Spiritos, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the managing partner of Shulman Rogers LLP, which represents the Company in certain real estate matters, including with matters related to the Mergers. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid less than $0.1 million in legal fees to Shulman Rogers LLP.

Overview

We are 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, we owned 11 properties with an additional six properties under contract to be acquired. The properties in our portfolio and the properties we have under contract are dispersed in sub-markets that we believe generally have high population densities, high traffic counts, good visibility and accessibility, which provide our tenants with attractive locations to serve the necessity-based needs of the surrounding communities. Although we have paused acquisition and investment activity due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, other than working to close the remaining six Mergers, over the long-term, we intend to focus on acquiring additional strategically positioned properties in established and developing neighborhoods primarily leased to necessity-based tenants that meet the needs of the surrounding communities in our existing markets, as well as acquiring properties in new markets that meet our investment criteria, including the Southeastern United States. In addition, we provide commercial real estate brokerage services for our own portfolio and third-party office, industrial and retail operators and tenants.

We are structured as an “Up-C” corporation with substantially all of our operations conducted through our Operating Partnership and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2021, we owned 88.9% of the units of limited partnership interest (“OP units”) in our Operating Partnership, and we are the sole member of the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership.

Mergers with MedAmerica Properties Inc.

On December 27, 2019 (the “Merger Date”), subsidiaries of MedAmerica Properties Inc. (“MedAmerica”) completed 11 mergers (the “Initial Mergers”), including the mergers with Broad Street Realty, LLC (“BSR”) and Broad Street Ventures, LLC (“BSV”) and mergers with nine Broad Street Entities. Prior the Initial Mergers, Broad Street Realty, LLC (“BSR”) was a real estate management and brokerage company, which was 50% owned by Michael Z. Jacoby, the Company’s chairman and chief executive officer, and 50% owned by Thomas M. Yockey, one of the Company’s directors. BSR provided property management services for the substantial majority of the properties in the Company’s current portfolio and the additional properties to be acquired by the Company upon the completion of the additional Mergers. BSR also provided real estate brokerage services for the properties acquired or to be acquired by the Company as well as for third party clients. BSR owned no real property, so all of its revenues were derived from its property management and brokerage businesses. The properties acquired by the Company in the Initial Mergers and to be acquired in the additional Mergers were or are owned by entities (the “Broad Street Entities”) for which Broad Street Ventures, LLC (“BSV”) served or serves, directly or indirectly and either alone or with other co-managers or co-managing members as the manager or managing member.

Upon completion of the Initial Mergers and in accordance with the applicable merger agreements, Mr. Jacoby was appointed as the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company, Alexander Topchy was appointed as the chief financial officer of the Company, and each of the employees of BSR became employees of the Company. In addition, 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 the 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 with the Broad Street Entities that have closed as of the date of this report, the Company has issued an aggregate of 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 this report, 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. Until the closing of the remaining mergers, the Company will continue to manage these six properties and receive management fees.

Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and, on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The pandemic led governments and other authorities around the world, including federal, state and local authorities in the United States, to impose measures intended to mitigate its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement and business operations, such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines and shelter-in-place or similar orders. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our future operational and financial performance, financial condition and liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration and intensity of the pandemic, the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Given this uncertainty, we cannot accurately predict the effect on future periods.

All of our properties, as well as our headquarters and other offices, 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. Our rental revenue and operating results depend significantly on the occupancy levels at our properties and the ability of our tenants to meet their rent and other obligations to us, and the government-imposed measures, coupled with customers reducing their purchasing activity in light of health concerns or personal

22

financial distress, have resulted in significant disruptions to our and our tenants’ businesses. We have observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of limited operations among our tenants, 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.

As of May 12, 2021:

Collections and rent deferrals to date may not be indicative of collections or rent deferrals in any future period. We expect that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ contractual rent obligations for so long as governmental orders require non-essential businesses to operate on a limited basis, which will adversely impact our results of operations. Even after governmental restrictions are lifted, our tenants may continue to be impacted by economic conditions resulting from COVID-19 or public perception of the risk of COVID-19, which could adversely affect foot traffic to our tenants’ businesses and our tenants’ ability to adequately staff their businesses. If the impacts of the pandemic continue, we expect that certain tenants will experience greater financial distress, which could result in additional tenants being unable to pay contractual rent (including deferred rent) on a timely basis, or at all, additional requests for rental relief, early lease terminations, tenant bankruptcies, decreases in occupancy, reductions in rent, or increases in rent concessions or other accommodations. In some cases, we may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to us as those currently in place. In addition, lease renewals and new leasing activity are expected to be adversely impacted as businesses delay executing leases amidst the immediate and uncertain future economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors also may adversely affect the value of our properties. The extent of such impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. 

In addition, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, substantially all of our employees were working remotely. An extended period of remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. Furthermore, our ability to close the remaining six Mergers has been adversely impacted by the market and other disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including delays in obtaining consent from the requisite lenders.

We have taken a number of proactive measures to maintain the strength of our business and manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and liquidity, including the following:

23

We will continue to actively monitor the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our tenants’ businesses and may take further actions to alter our business practices if we determine that such changes are in the best interests of our employees, tenants and stockholders, or as required by federal, state or local authorities.

Portfolio Summary

As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio was comprised of 11 retail properties and a parcel of land on which another shopping center is located, consisting of 1,055,143 total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). The following table provides additional information about the properties in our portfolio (dollars in thousands).

24

Geographic Concentration

The following table contains information regarding the geographic concentration of the properties in our portfolio as of March 31, 2021, which includes rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands).

Critical Accounting Policies

Refer to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a discussion of our accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies of revenue recognition, real estate investments, asset impairment, income taxes, and our accounting policy on consolidation, which are included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 15, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to these policies. See Note 2 “—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” for recently-adopted accounting pronouncements.

Factors that May Impact Future Results of Operations

Rental Income

Growth in rental income will depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria and on filling vacancies and increasing rents on the properties in our portfolio. The amount of rental income generated by the properties in our portfolio depends on our ability to renew expiring leases or re-lease space upon the scheduled or unscheduled termination of leases, lease currently available space and maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition to the factors regarding the COVID-19 pandemic described above, our rental income in future periods could be adversely affected by local, regional or national economic conditions, an oversupply of or a reduction in demand for retail space, changes in market rental rates, our ability to provide adequate services and maintenance at our properties, and fluctuations in interest rates. In addition, economic downturns affecting our markets or downturns in our tenants’ businesses that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments to us, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rent and occupancy. 

Scheduled Lease Expirations

Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or greater than that of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. Our properties are marketed to smaller tenants that generally desire shorter-term leases. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 41.3% of our portfolio (based on GLA) was leased to tenants occupying less than 10,000 square feet. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, approximately 14.7% of our GLA was vacant and approximately 1.8% of our leases (based on GLA) were month-to-month or scheduled to expire on or before December 31, 2021. Although we maintain ongoing dialogue with our tenants, we generally raise the issue of renewal at least 12 months prior to lease renewal often providing concessions for early renewal. If our current tenants do not renew their leases or terminate their leases early, we may be unable to re-lease the space to new tenants on favorable terms or at all, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related government measures described above. Our vacancy trends will be impacted by new properties that we acquire, which may include properties with higher vacancy where we identified opportunities to increase occupancy.

Acquisitions

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have paused acquisition and investment activity other than working to close the remaining six Mergers. Over the long-term, however, we intend to grow our portfolio through the acquisition of additional strategically positioned properties in established and developing neighborhoods primarily leased to necessity-based tenants that meet the needs of the surrounding communities in our existing markets, as well as acquiring properties in new markets that meet our investment criteria, including the Southeastern United States. We have established relationships with a wide variety of market participants, including tenants, leasing agents, investment sales brokers, property owners and lenders, in our target markets and beyond and, over the long-term, we believe that we will have opportunities to acquire properties that meet our investment criteria at attractive prices. Once we recommence acquisition activity as the impact of COVID-19 decreases, until we have greater access to capital, we likely will structure future acquisitions through joint ventures or other syndicated structures in which outside investors will contribute a majority of the capital and we will manage the assets.

25

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include employee compensation costs, professional fees, consulting and other general administrative expenses.  We expect an increase in general and administrative expenses in the future related to stock issuances to employees. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will rise in some measure as our portfolio grows but that such expenses as a percentage of our revenue will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.

Capital Expenditures

We incur capital expenditures at our properties that vary in amount and frequency based on each property’s specific needs.  We expect our capital expenditures will be for recurring maintenance to ensure our properties are in good working condition, including parking and roof repairs, façade maintenance and general upkeep.  We also will incur capital expenditures related to repositioning and refurbishing properties where we have identified opportunities to improve our properties to increase occupancy, and we may incur capital expenditures related to redevelopment or development consistent with our business and growth strategies although we expect redevelopment and development activities to be limited in the near-term due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
