1. Business and Organization

Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc., which was previously named Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. prior to July 20, 2017, (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. We have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. We have also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. We intend to hold the various real properties in which we have invested until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. We currently have one operating segment. As of September 30, 2020, we had eight real estate investments (five wholly owned properties and three properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan).

Substantially all of our business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of September 30, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

Our business is managed by an external advisor and we have no employees. Effective February 10, 2017, we engaged affiliates of The Lightstone Group (“Lightstone”), LSG-BH II Advisor LLC and LSG Development Advisor LLC (collectively, the “Advisor”), to provide advisory services to us. Lightstone is majority owned by the chairman of our board of directors, David Lichtenstein. Subject to the oversight of our board of directors, our external advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets.

Organization

In connection with our initial capitalization, we issued 22,500 shares of our common stock and 1,000 shares of our convertible stock to our previous advisor on January 19, 2007. The 1,000 shares of convertible stock were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017 and remain outstanding as of September 30, 2020.

Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions. Our board of directors previously targeted June 30, 2023 as the commencement of a liquidity event, however, on January 9, 2020, our board of directors elected to extend the targeted timeline until June 30, 2028 based on their assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. We can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of a liquidity event for our stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. We will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represents the noncontrolling ownership interest’s proportionate share of the equity in our consolidated real estate investments. Income and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interest holders based generally on their ownership percentage. If a property reaches a defined return threshold, then it will result in distributions to noncontrolling interests which is different from the standard pro-rata allocation percentage. In certain instances, our joint venture agreements provide for liquidating distributions based on achieving certain return metrics.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2020. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone Value Plus Real Estate Investment Trust V, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which we have control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, interests in entities acquired are evaluated based on applicable GAAP, and entities deemed to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary are also consolidated. If the interest in the entity is determined not to be a VIE, then the entity is evaluated for consolidation based on legal form, economic substance, and the extent to which we have control, substantive participating rights or both under the respective ownership agreement. For entities in which we have less than a controlling interest or entities which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, we account for the investment using the equity method of accounting.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 7).

Earnings per Share

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic leading many countries, including the United States, particularly at the individual state level, to impose various restrictions and other measures, including, but not limited to, mandatory closures, quarantines, limitations on travel, “shelter in place” rules and certain other measures in an effort to reduce its duration and spread. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to evolve and while most states have initiated a phased approach allowing for reductions and/or lifting of restrictions, the situation remains highly unpredictable and dynamic.

The Company’s consolidated portfolio of properties currently consists of seven multi-family apartment complexes and one student housing complex. Despite past and current restrictions and mitigation strategies, the Company’s multi-family properties still have not yet seen any significant impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s student housing complex, which consists of the River Club Apartments and the Townhomes at River Club, are located in Athens, Georgia and principally serve as “off-campus” lodging for students attending the University of Georgia (“UGA”). Leases for the River Club Apartments and Townhomes at River Club generally have a term of one year running from August through July. UGA previously transitioned to online instruction during its Spring 2020 semester and for its other course offerings throughout the summer. However, UGA returned to “on-campus” classes for its Fall 2020 semester which are currently taking place. The Company’s student housing complex is located “off-campus” and therefore, its tenants are not required to vacate even if UGA does not conduct “on-campus” classes. However, if UGA decides to return to online instruction for its students in lieu of “on-campus” classes in future semesters, it could adversely impact leasing demand, occupancy levels and the operating results of the Company’s student housing complex in future periods. Additionally, the Company’s note receivable relates to a condominium development project located in New Yok City (the “Condominium Project”), which is subject to similar restrictions and risks. To date, the Company’s note receivable has not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the Company’s business has not yet seen any material impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which it may be affected in future periods remains highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably predicted.

If the Company’s properties and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted in future periods for an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) demand for its student housing complex declines, and (iii) its borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the outstanding note receivable; the Company’s business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. While the Company has implemented various cost reduction strategies, including the deferral of certain non-critical capital expenditures, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will fully mitigate the potential adverse impact of any lost revenue and income.

COVID-19 Lease Modification Accounting Relief

Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many lessors may be required to provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. While the lease modification guidance addresses routine changes to lease terms resulting from negotiations between the lessee and the lessor, this guidance did not contemplate concessions being so rapidly executed to address the sudden liquidity constraints of some lessees arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent its spread.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing GAAP, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not entered into any lease modification agreements with any of its tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Company is still evaluating the impact of this policy election and has not yet concluded on whether it will apply the election.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology currently in use with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

3. Real Estate Asset Acquisition

Autumn Breeze Apartments

On March 17, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of a 280-unit multifamily property located in Noblesville, Indiana (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $43.0 million, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, the Company paid the Advisor an aggregate of approximately $0.8 million in acquisition fees and acquisition expense reimbursements.

The Company determined this acquisition was an asset acquisition and allocated the total purchase price, including acquisition fees and expenses, to the assets acquired based on their relative fair value. Approximately $7.2 million was allocated to land and improvements, $36.0 million was allocated to building and improvements, and $0.6 million was allocated to in-place lease intangibles.

The capitalization rate for the acquisition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments was approximately 4.86%. The Company calculates the capitalization rate for a real property by dividing the net operating income (“NOI”) of the property by the purchase price of the property, excluding costs. For purposes of this calculation, NOI was based upon the twelve months ended February 29, 2020. Additionally, NOI is all gross revenues from the property less all operating expenses, including property taxes and management fees but excluding depreciation.

4. Note Receivable

500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan

On February 28, 2019, the Company, as the lender, and an unrelated third party (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower”), as the borrower, entered into a loan promissory note (the “500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan”) pursuant to which the Company would fund up to $12.0 million of mezzanine financing. On the same date, the Company initially funded $8.0 million of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. Subsequently, through the first quarter of 2020, the Company funded an additional $4.0 million and as a result, the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan has been fully funded.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is recorded in note receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the fundings made for the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, our Advisor has received an aggregate of approximately $0.2 million in acquisition fees from the Company. The acquisition fees are accounted for as an addition to the carrying value of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and are being amortized as a reduction to interest income over the initial term of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan is due August 31, 2021 and is collateralized by the ownership interests of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower owns a parcel of land located at 500 West 22nd Street, New York, New York on which it is developing and constructing the Condominium Project. Although New York City previously restricted certain non-essential construction activities because of the COVD-19 pandemic, which led to a temporarily suspension of construction of the Condominium Project, construction activities for the Condominium Project resumed in early May and its anticipated construction timeline has not been significantly impacted to date.

The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 11.0% per annum with a floor of 13.493% (13.493% as of September 30, 2020). The Company received an origination fee of 1.0% of the loan balance, or approximately $0.1 million, which is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and is being amortized to interest income, using a straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method, over the initial term of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. The 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan may be extended two additional six-month periods by the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan Borrower provided certain conditions are met, including the establishment of an additional reserve for interest and the payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding loan balance.

In connection with the initial funding under the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan, the Company retained approximately $2.1 million of the proceeds to establish a reserve for interest and other items, which is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and are being applied against the first 8.0% of monthly interest due during the initial term of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan. Through September 30, 2020, approximately $1.5 million of the reserve has been recognized as interest income and the remaining balance of the reserve was approximately $0.6 million as of September 30, 2020. The additional monthly interest due above the 8.0% threshold is added to the balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan and payable at maturity. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $1.0 million of additional interest due is included in the balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of interest income related to the note receivable and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of interest income related to the note receivable. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding principal balance of the 500 West 22nd Street Mezzanine Loan was approximately $12.4 million.

5. Financial Instruments

We determined the following disclosure of estimated fair values using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or only estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities, accrued property tax and payables to related parties were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the interest rate is variable and reflective of the market rate. The fair value of the notes payable is categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the notes payable was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Carrying amounts of our notes payable and the related estimated fair value is summarized as follows:

	As of September 30, 2020				As of December 31, 2019
		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Notes payable	$	252,159	$	254,945	$	186,761	$	187,304

6. Marketable Securities and Fair Value Measurements

Marketable Securities

The following is a summary of the Company’s available for sale securities as of the dates indicated:

	As of September 30, 2020
	Adjusted Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
Debt securities:
Corporate and Government Bonds	$	3,509	$	145	$	(1	)	$	3,653

	As of December 31, 2019
	Adjusted Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
Debt securities:
Corporate and Government Bonds	$	5,385	$	113	$	(2	)	$	5,496

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

	•		Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	•		Level 2 – 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.

	•		Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair values of the Company’s investments in debt securities are measured using quoted prices for these investments; however, the markets for these assets are not active. As of September 30, 2020, all of the Company’s debt securities were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities:

	As of September 30, 2020
Due in 1 year	$	517
Due in 1 year through 5 years		3,136
Due in 5 years through 10 years		-
Due after 10 years		-
Total	$	3,653

7. Held for Sale and Disposition of Gardens Medical Pavilion

Gardens Medical Pavilion

On December 23, 2019, the Company and its noncontrolling member, and CPI/AHP Garden Medical Pavilion Mob Owner, L.L.C. (the “Gardens Medical Pavilion Buyer”), an unaffiliated third party, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Gardens Medical Pavilion Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and the noncontrolling member would dispose of the Gardens Medical Pavilion to the Gardens Medical Pavilion Buyer for an aggregate contractual sales price of $24.3 million.

As of December 31, 2019, the Gardens Medical Pavilion met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and therefore, its associated assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.

On January 15, 2020, the Company and the noncontrolling member completed the disposition of the Gardens Medical Pavilion for a contractual sales price of $24.3 million. In connection with the disposition of the Gardens Medical Pavilion, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of approximately $5.5 million during the first quarter of 2020. Approximately $12.6 million of the proceeds were used towards the repayment in full of a mortgage loan secured by the Gardens Medical Pavilion. Additionally, approximately $1.8 million of the remaining proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling member.

The following summary presents the major components of the Gardens Medical Pavilion’s assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2019:

	As of
	December 31, 2019
Net investment property	$	17,448
Other assets		744

Total assets held for sale	$	18,192

Note payable, net		12,441
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		1,245

Total liabilities held for sale	$	13,686

Lakes of Margate

Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2019, Lakes of Margate met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and therefore, its associated assets and liabilities, which were expected to be sold within 12 months, were previously classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic the Company subsequently decided during the second quarter of 2020 to discontinue its marketing efforts and to retain the property for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company obtained a new 10-year mortgage financing on the property, which previously was unencumbered, on June 26, 2020 (see Note 8). As a result, the Company determined the property should no longer be classified as held for sale effective as of June 30, 2020 because a sale was no longer considered probable within the next 12 months. Since the fair value of the property was in excess of the Company’s carrying value, the Company recorded catch-up depreciation for the period the property was previously classified as held for sale. In addition, the Company is no longer classifying the long-lived asset as held for sale for all periods presented on the consolidated balance sheets.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

2020 Tender Offer

The Company commenced a tender offer on June 16, 2020, pursuant to which it offered to acquire up to 300,000 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share, or approximately $0.7 million in the aggregate (the “2020 Tender Offer”).

The 2020 Tender Offer terminated on July 24, 2020, and a total of 26,637 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the 2020 Tender Offer as of such date. In accordance with the terms of the 2020 Tender Offer, the Company subsequently repurchased all of the tendered shares for approximately $0.1 million in August 2020.

2019 Tender Offer

The Company commenced a tender offer on December 17, 2019, pursuant to which it offered to acquire up to 2.0 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $7.75 per share, or $15.5 million in the aggregate (the “2019 Tender Offer”).

The 2019 Tender Offer terminated on February 28, 2020, and a total of 2,183,888 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the 2019 Tender Offer as of such date, an amount that exceeded the maximum number of shares the Company offered to purchase pursuant to the 2019 Tender Offer. In accordance with the terms of the 2019 Tender Offer, the Company subsequently repurchased a total of approximately 2.0 million shares for approximately $15.6 million in April 2020.

Because the amount of repurchase requests exceeded the maximum number of shares the Company had offered to repurchase, the Company repurchased shares on a pro-rata basis, subject to “odd lot” priority as described in the 2019 Tender Offer. Excluding the stockholders eligible for “odd lot” priority that were not be subject to proration, approximately 91.58% of the number of shares tendered by each remaining stockholder who participated in the 2019 Tender Offer were repurchased by the Company.

Share Redemption Program and Redemption Price

The Company’s board of directors has adopted a share redemption program (the “SRP”) that permits stockholders to sell their shares back to it, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. The Company’s board of directors can amend the provisions of the SRP at any time without the approval of the stockholders.

On August 9, 2017, the board of directors adopted a Fourth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Fourth Amended SRP”) which became effective July 1, 2018. The Fourth Amended SRP established that the price at which the Company would redeem shares submitted for redemption will be a percentage of the estimated net asset value per share (“NAV per Share”) as of the Effective Date, as defined, as follows:

For Redemptions with an Effective Date Between
July 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019:		92.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020:		95.0% of the estimated NAV per Share
July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021:		97.5% of the estimated NAV per Share
Thereafter:		100% of the estimated NAV per Share

Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended SRP, any shares approved for redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors, and no less frequently than annually. The Company will not redeem, during any twelve-month period, more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of redemption. In addition, the cash available for redemptions is limited to no more than $10.0 million in any twelve-month period. Any redemption requests are honored pro rata among all requests received based on funds available and are not honored on a first come, first served basis.

On December 28, 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted a Fifth Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Fifth Amended SRP”) which became effective on January 31, 2019. The only material change to the program was to change the measurement period for the limitations on the number and dollar amount of shares that may be accepted for redemption from a rolling 12 month-period to a calendar year.

In accordance with the Company’s Fifth Amended SRP, the per share redemption price automatically adjusted to $8.64 effective November 7, 2019 as a result of the determination and approval by the Company’s board of directors of the updated estimated NAV per Share.

On December 13, 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the suspension of the SRP. Pursuant to the terms of the SRP, while the SRP is suspended, the Company will not accept any requests for redemption.

Distributions

U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions are authorized at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors based on their analysis of the Company’s performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. These analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, changes in market capitalization rates for investments suitable for the Company’s portfolio, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales, and other factors that the Company’s board of directors deems relevant. The Company’s board of director’s decisions will be substantially influenced by the obligation to ensure that the Company maintains its federal tax status as a REIT. The Company cannot provide assurance that it will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

10. Related Party Transactions

The Company has agreements with the Advisor providing for the payment of certain fees and reimbursement of administrative services costs (the “Administrative Services Reimbursement”) in exchange for services performed and costs incurred by the Advisor and/or its affiliated entities. Amounts the Company owes to the Advisor and its affiliated entities, which are principally for these fees and the Administrative Services Reimbursement, are classified as payables to related parties on the consolidated balance sheets.

On June 10, 2020, the advisory management agreements were extended an additional year through June 10, 2021. For the period June 11, 2020 through June 10, 2021, the Administrative Services Reimbursement is limited to the lesser of the actual costs incurred or $1.33 million.

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to the Company’s Advisor for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Advance from Advisor

On March 16, 2020, the Advisor provided an advance of $25.0 million to the Company that bore interest at a fixed-rate of 5.00%. On March 31, 2020, the Company repaid $15.0 million of the advance and on June 29, 2020, the Company repaid the remaining $10.0 million of the advance and aggregate accrued interest of $0.2 million. Approximately $0.2 million of interest expense was incurred on the advance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes.

Executive Overview

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who were distressed or faced time-sensitive deadlines. In addition, our opportunistic and value-add investment strategy has included investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income. Since inception, we have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and multifamily. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties and newly constructed properties. We have also invested in mortgage and mezzanine loans. We have made our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the United States and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions. As of September 30, 2020, our investments included multifamily and student housing communities and a note receivable. All of our current investments are located in the United States. We currently intend to hold our various real properties until such time as our board of directors determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.

Current Environment

Our operating results are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, loss of key relationships, and recession.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Our consolidated portfolio of properties currently consists of seven multi-family apartment complexes and one student housing complex. Despite past and current restrictions and mitigation strategies, our multi-family properties still have not yet seen any significant impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our student housing complex, which consists of the River Club Apartments and the Townhomes at River Club, are located in Athens, Georgia and principally serve as “off-campus” lodging for students attending the University of Georgia (“UGA”). Leases for the River Club Apartments and Townhomes at River Club generally have a term of one year running from August through July. UGA previously transitioned to online instruction during its Spring 2020 semester and for its other course offerings throughout the summer. However, UGA returned to “on-campus” classes for its Fall 2020 semester which are currently taking place. Our student housing complex is located “off-campus” and therefore, its tenants are not required to vacate even if UGA does not conduct “on-campus” classes. However, if UGA decides to return to online instruction for its students in lieu of “on-campus” classes in future semesters, it could adversely impact leasing demand, occupancy levels and the operating results of our student housing complex in future periods. Additionally, our note receivable relates to a condominium development project located in New Yok City (the “Condominium Project”), which is subject to similar restrictions and risks. To date, our note receivable has not been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

If our properties and real estate-related investments are negatively impacted in future periods for an extended period because (i) tenants are unable to pay their rent, (ii) demand for our student housing complex declines, and (iii) the borrower is unable to pay scheduled debt service on the outstanding note receivable; our business and financial results could be materially and adversely impacted. While we have implemented various cost reduction strategies, including the deferral of certain non-critical capital expenditures, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will fully mitigate the potential adverse impact of any lost revenue and income.

These and other market and economic challenges could materially affect (i) the value and performance of our investments, (ii) our ability to pay future distributions, if any, (iii) the availability or terms of financings, (iv) our ability to make scheduled principal and interest payments, and (v) our ability to refinance any outstanding debt when contractually due.

We are not currently aware of any other material trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, that may be reasonably anticipated to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or income to be derived from our operations, other than those referred to above or throughout this Form 10-Q. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during a reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions used in these consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $27.8 million and marketable securities, available for sale of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2020. Our principal demands for funds going forward will be for the payment of (a) operating expenses, (b) interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness. We also may, at our discretion use funds for (a) tender offers and/or redemptions of shares of our common stock, (b) distributions, if any, to our shareholders, and (c) selective acquisitions and/or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet our cash needs with our cash on hand and cash flow from operations. However, to the extent that our cash on hand and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to cover our cash needs, we may use proceeds from additional borrowings and/or selective asset sales to fund such needs. We have borrowed and may continue to borrow money to acquire properties and make other investments. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness is limited to 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. In addition to our charter limitation, our board of directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our aggregate borrowings to approximately 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets.

Acquisition and Disposition Activities

Autumn Breeze Apartments

On March 17, 2020, we completed the acquisition of a 280-unit multifamily property located in Noblesville, Indiana (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments”) from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $43.0 million, excluding closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition, our Company paid the Advisor an aggregate of approximately $0.8 million in acquisition fees and acquisition expense reimbursements.

Gardens Medical Pavilion

On January 15, 2020, we and our noncontrolling member completed the disposition of the Gardens Medical Pavilion for a contractual sales price of $24.3 million. In connection with the disposition of the Gardens Medical Pavilion, we recognized a gain on the sale of investment property of approximately $5.5 million during the first quarter of 2020. Approximately $12.6 million of the proceeds were used towards the repayment in full of a mortgage loan secured by the Gardens Medical Pavilion. Additionally, approximately $1.8 million of the remaining proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling member.

Debt Financings

From time to time, we have obtained mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans for acquisitions and investments, as well as property development. In the future, we may obtain new financings to acquire properties and for property renovation development and redevelopment activities or refinance our existing real estate assets, depending on multiple factors.

As of September 30, 2020, our outstanding notes payable were $248.0 million, net of deferred financing fees of $4.1 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 3.7%. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had notes payable of $183.8 million, net of deferred financing fees of $3.0 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.1%.

Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan

On March 31, 2020, we entered into a ten-year $29.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan”) scheduled to mature on April 1, 2030. The Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan bears interest at 3.39% and requires monthly interest-only payments through June 30, 2023 and monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $0.1 million thereafter, through its stated maturity. The Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan is collateralized by the Autumn Breeze Apartments. In connection with the Autumn Breeze Apartments Loan, we paid the Advisor an aggregate of approximately $0.3 million in financing fees.

Lakes of Margate Loan

On June 26, 2020, we and our noncontrolling member entered into a ten-year, $35.7 million non-recourse mortgage loan (the "Lakes of Margate Loan") scheduled to mature on July 1, 2030. The Lakes of Margate Loan bears interest at LIBOR + 2.98% and requires monthly interest-only payments through the first four years of the term and thereafter, monthly payments of principal and interest based upon a 30-year amortization. The Lakes of Margate Loan is collateralized by the Lakes of Margate. In connection with the Lakes of Margate Loan, we paid the Advisor an aggregate of approximately $0.4 million in financing fees. Additionally, approximately $1.4 million of the financing proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling member.

Our loan agreements stipulate that we comply with certain reporting and financial covenants. These covenants include, among other things, maintaining minimum debt service coverage ratios, loan to value ratios, and liquidity. We are currently in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

One of our principal short-term and long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt. The following table provides information with respect to the contractual maturities and scheduled principal repayments of our indebtedness as of September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands).

Advance from Advisor

On March 16, 2020, the Advisor provided an advance of $25.0 million to us that bore interest at a fixed-rate of 5.00%. On March 31, 2020, we repaid $15.0 million of the advance and on June 29, 2020, we repaid the remaining $10.0 million of the advance and aggregate accrued interest of $0.2 million. Approximately $0.2 million of interest expense was incurred on the advance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

2020 Tender Offer

We commenced a tender offer on June 16, 2020, pursuant to which we offered to acquire up to 300,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share, or approximately $0.7 million in the aggregate (the “2020 Tender Offer”).

The 2020 Tender Offer terminated on July 24, 2020, and a total of 26,637 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the 2020 Tender Offer as of such date. In accordance with the terms of the 2020 Tender Offer, we subsequently repurchased all of the tendered shares for approximately $0.1 million in August 2020.

2019 Tender Offer

We commenced a tender offer on December 17, 2019, pursuant to which we offered to acquire up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $7.75 per share, or $15.5 million in the aggregate (the “2019 Tender Offer”).

The 2019 Tender Offer terminated on February 28, 2020, and a total of 2,183,888 shares were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the 2019 Tender Offer as of such date, an amount that exceeded the maximum number of shares we offered to purchase pursuant to the 2019 Tender Offer. In accordance with the terms of the 2019 Tender Offer, we subsequently repurchased a total of approximately 2.0 million shares for approximately $15.6 million in April 2020.

Because the amount of repurchase requests exceeded the maximum number of shares we had offered to repurchase, we repurchased shares on a pro-rata basis, subject to “odd lot” priority as described in the 2019 Tender Offer. Excluding the stockholders eligible for “odd lot” priority that were not be subject to proration, approximately 91.58% of the number of shares tendered by each remaining stockholder who participated in the 2019 Tender Offer were repurchased by us.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2020, we had eight real estate investments (five wholly owned properties and three properties consolidated through investments in joint ventures) and one real estate-related investment (mezzanine loan).

(2)

The Valley Ranch Apartments were acquired on February 14, 2019.

(3)

The Autumn Breeze Apartments were acquired on March 17, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, we acquired the Autumn Breeze Apartments (the “2020 Acquisition”) and on February 14, 2019, we acquired the Valley Ranch Apartments (the “2019 Acquisition” and collectively, the “Acquisitions”). Additionally, on January 4, 2019 we received proceeds of approximately $10.9 million representing the minimum amount payable for our participation in the residual interests of our equity method investment in Prospect Park. Any additional amounts received will be recognized upon receipt.

On January 15, 2020, we disposed of the Gardens Medical Pavilion (the “Disposition”) and the disposition of this property did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of this property are reflected in our results from continuing operations for all periods presented through its date of disposition.

Our results of operations for the respective periods presented reflect our acquisition and disposition activities. Properties owned by us during the entire periods presented are referred to as our “Same Store” properties.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative.

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations ("FFO"), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT's operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the "White Paper"). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT's definition.

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT's definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings.

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the "IPA"), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations ("MFFO"), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP.

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA's Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the "Practice Guideline") issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs.

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly.

The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenses associated with that process, is a key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flows in order to make distributions to investors. In evaluating investments in real estate, management differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for non-listed REITs that have completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics. By excluding expensed acquisition costs, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to our advisor or third parties. Acquisition fees and expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income and income from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. Such fees and expenses are paid in cash, and therefore such funds will not be available to distribute to investors. Such fees and expenses negatively impact our operating performance during the period in which properties are being acquired. Therefore, MFFO may not be an accurate indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to the property. Acquisition fees and expenses will not be paid or reimbursed, as applicable, to our advisor even if there are no further proceeds from the sale of shares in our offering, and therefore such fees and expenses would need to be paid from either additional debt, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties or from ancillary cash flows.

Under GAAP, certain intangibles are accounted for at cost and reviewed at least annually for impairment, and certain intangibles are assumed to diminish predictably in value over time and amortized, similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO. However, because real estate values and market lease rates historically rise or fall with market conditions, management believes that by excluding charges relating to amortization of these intangibles, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate.

Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable equity securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.

Under GAAP, rental receipts are allocated to periods using various methodologies. This may result in income recognition that is significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items (to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments, providing insight on the contractual cash flows of such lease terms and debt investments, and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance.

Distributions

We made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions, if any, are authorized at the discretion of our board of directors based on their analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. Such analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our board of directors’ decisions will be substantially influenced by their obligation to ensure that we maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. We cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including investment impairment. These estimates include such items as impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly from the discussion found in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2020, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) using the criteria established in Internal Control-New Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of September 30, 2020, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
