1.ORGANIZATION
Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. The Company conducts its business primarily through Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“Pacific Oak SOR BVI”), a private company limited by shares according to the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004, which was incorporated on December 18, 2015 and is authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000 common shares with no par value. Upon incorporation, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued one certificate containing 10,000 common shares with no par value to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed on December 10, 2008. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a 0.1% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Holdings LLC (“REIT Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 9, 2008, owns the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership and is its sole limited partner. The Company is the sole member and manager of REIT Holdings.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, the business of the Company was externally managed by KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”), an affiliate of the Company, pursuant to an advisory agreement the Company renewed with KBS Capital Advisors on October 7, 2019. KBS Capital Advisors conducted the Company’s operations and managed its portfolio of real estate and other real estate-related investments. On October 31, 2019, KBS Capital Advisors ceased to serve as the Company’s advisor or have any advisory responsibility to the Company immediately following the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2019 (filed November 8, 2019) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). On November 1, 2019, the Company entered into an advisory agreement with Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). The new advisory agreement is effective as of November 1, 2019 through November 1, 2020; however the Company may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 30 days’ written notice and the Advisor may terminate the new advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 90 days’ written notice. The terms of the advisory agreement are consistent with those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect with KBS Capital Advisors, except as discussed in Note 10.
On February 19, 2020, the Company, Pacific Oak SOR II, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (“POSOR II”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, POSOR II will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Entity will continue as an indirect subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the separate existence of POSOR II shall cease. At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of POSOR II’s common stock (or a fraction thereof), $0.01 par value per share, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9643 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The combined company after the Merger will retain the name “Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.” The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
On January 8, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public (the “Offering”), of which 100,000,000 shares were registered in a primary offering and 40,000,000 shares were registered to be sold under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan. The SEC declared the Company’s registration statement effective on November 20, 2009. The Company ceased offering shares of common stock in its primary offering on November 14, 2012 and continues to offer shares under its dividend reinvestment plan.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements for the unaudited interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership, Pacific Oak SOR BVI and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest and VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is comprised of lender impound reserve accounts on the Company’s borrowings for security deposits, property taxes, insurance, debt service obligations and capital improvements and replacements.
Redeemable Common Stock
The Company limits the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the share redemption program. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had redeemed $0.8 million of common stock under the share redemption program. The Company processed all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the June 2020 redemption date, except for 5,973,671 shares totaling $60.3 million due to the limitations under the share redemption program. The Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.8 million of redeemable common stock payable on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to unfulfilled redemption requests received in good order under the share redemption program. Based on the eleventh amended and restated share redemption program, the Company has $6,000 available for redemptions in the remainder of 2020, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations under the share redemption program. Effective beginning with the month of February 2020, the Company suspended (a) redemptions requested under the share redemption program in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”, until the Company and POSOR II file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the proposed Merger, and (b) all other redemptions under the share redemption program until after the Merger closes. The Form S-4 was filed on June 15, 2020 with the SEC.

Segments
The Company has invested in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans, other real estate-related assets and single-family homes. In general, the Company intends to hold its investments in opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets for capital appreciation. Traditional performance metrics of opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets may not be meaningful as these investments are generally non-stabilized and do not provide a consistent stream of interest income or rental revenue. These investments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. These investments typically involve a higher degree of risk and do not provide a constant stream of ongoing cash flows. As a result, the Company’s management views opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets as similar investments. Substantially all of its revenue and net income (loss) is from opportunistic real estate, non-performing loans and other real estate-related assets, and therefore, the Company currently recognizes two reportable business segment consisting of strategic opportunity properties and related investments and single-family homes. The Company owns single-family homes in seven markets and are all aggregated into one reportable business segment due to the homes being stabilized, having high occupancy rates and have similar economic characteristics.
Per Share Data
The Company applies the two-class method when computing its earnings per share. Net income per share for each class of stock is calculated by assuming all of the Company’s net income (loss) is distributed to each class of stock based on their contractual rights.
Unvested restricted stock that contains non-forfeitable rights to distributions (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share.
Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period, plus potential common shares considered outstanding during the period, as long as the inclusion of such awards is not anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of unvested restricted stock, using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method.
The noncontrolling PORT Series A convertible redeemable preferred shares are not included as the preferred shares are convertible contingent on the common stock of PORT being publicly traded. If PORT common stock becomes publicly traded, the per-share earnings of PORT will be included in the Company’s EPS computations based on the consolidated holdings of PORT.
The Company’s unvested Restricted Stock have been included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, as the restriction is not contingent on any conditions except the passage of time.
Distributions declared per share were $0.0086 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $0.0086 and $0.0172 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no distributions declared for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures
Any references to square footage, occupancy or annualized base rent are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s review of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investments in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-13 require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU No. 2016-13 also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. An entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra-account to the amortized cost basis rather than as a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as is currently required. ASU No. 2016-13 also requires new disclosures. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to disclose information about how it developed its allowance for credit losses, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. For financing receivables and net investments in leases measured at amortized cost, an entity will be required to further disaggregate the information it currently discloses about the credit quality of these assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five annual periods. For available-for-sale debt securities, an entity will be required to provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses and an aging analysis for securities that are past due. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which clarified that receivables from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326 and instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU No. 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU No. 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. For the period from January 1, 2020 (the earliest date the Company may elect to apply ASU No. 2020-04) through June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any contract modifications that meet the criteria described above, specifically contract modifications that have been modified from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate. The Company’s loan agreements, derivative instruments, and certain lease agreements use LIBOR as the current reference rate. For eligible contract modifications, the Company expects to adopt the temporary optional expedients described in ASU No. 2020-04. The optional expedients for hedging relationships described in ASU No. 2020-04 are not expected to have an impact to the Company, as the Company has elected to not designate its derivative instruments as a hedge.
In April 2020, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Q&A related to Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic (the “Topic 842 Q&A”) which focused on the application of lease guidance for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this Q&A document, the FASB staff will allow entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842") as though enforceable rights and obligations for those qualifying concessions existed. The Company did not have any material lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that had a material impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 or consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Operating Leases
Certain of the Company’s real estate properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of June 30, 2020, the leases, excluding options to extend and apartment leases and single family homes, which have terms that are generally one year or less, had remaining terms of up to 11.7 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 4.5 years. Some of the leases have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from tenants in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally are not significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash and assumed in real estate acquisitions related to tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were both $4.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the cumulative deferred rent receivable balance, including unamortized lease incentive receivables, was $15.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively, and is included in rents and other receivables on the accompanying balance sheets. The cumulative deferred rent balance included $3.2 million and $3.1 million of unamortized lease incentives as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
As of June 30, 2020, the future minimum rental income from the Company’s properties, excluding apartment leases and single family homes, under non-cancelable operating leases was as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s commercial real estate properties were leased to approximately 239 tenants over a diverse range of industries and geographic areas. The Company’s highest tenant industry concentrations (greater than 10% of annualized base rent) were as follows:

No other tenant industries accounted for more than 10% of annualized base rent. No material tenant credit issues have been identified at this time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded adjustments to rental income of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for lease payments that were deemed not probable of collection. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded adjustments to rental income of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for lease payments that were deemed not probable of collection.
Geographic Concentration Risk
As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s real estate investments in Georgia and California represented 16.4% and 13.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the Georgia and California real estate markets. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in these markets, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Recent Acquisition
On May 28, 2020, the Company acquired a single-family home portfolio consisting of 196 homes in Chicago, Illinois. The seller is not affiliated with the Company or the Advisor. The purchase price was $17.3 million, which includes $0.4 million of capitalized acquisition costs. The Company recorded this acquisition as an asset acquisition and recorded $3.4 million to land, $13.6 million to building and improvements and $0.3 million to tenant origination and absorption costs.
Sale of Real Estate
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded contract liabilities of $3.1 million related to deferred proceeds received from the buyers of the Park Highlands prior year land sales and another developer for the value of land that was contributed to a master association that is consolidated by the Company, which was included in other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The terms of the Series A Debentures require five equal annual installment principal payments on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had two foreign currency collars for an aggregate notional amount of 798.0 million Israeli new Shekels to hedge its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements. See Note 8, “Derivative Instruments” for a further discussion on the Company’s foreign currency collars.
On February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of Series B Debentures to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israel Securities Authority.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. The primary goal of the Company’s risk management practices related to interest rate risk is to prevent changes in interest rates from adversely impacting the Company’s ability to achieve its investment return objectives. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company enters into foreign currency collars to mitigate its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate movements on its bonds payable outstanding denominated in Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy and a sold put option to sell Israeli new Shekels. A foreign currency collar guarantees that the exchange rate of the currency will not fluctuate beyond the range of the options’ strike prices.
The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s foreign currency collars as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The notional amount is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in each instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (currency in thousands):

____________________
(1) On July 29, 2020, the Company terminated the foreign currency collars and as a result received $14.1 million.
The Company enters into interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The values of interest rate caps are primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of interest rate caps. As the remaining life of an interest rate cap decreases, the value of the instrument will generally decrease towards zero.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had entered into three interest rate caps, which were not designated as a hedging instruments. The following table summarizes the notional amounts and other information related to the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2020. The notional amount is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in the instrument at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks (dollars in thousands):

The affiliated DayMark service entities are paid annual asset management fees equal to 1.5% of the gross asset value of Battery Point, annual property management fees equal to 8% of tenants’ rents received by Battery Point, and acquisition fees of 1% of the gross purchase price of properties acquired. The affiliated DayMark service entities also receive fees from tenants upon execution of leases and a 1% commission from sellers of properties into the program, if it acts as the broker for the seller.

Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired 91 Class A Units for $20.6 million in the Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I, LLC (“Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I”). Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I is sponsored by Pacific Oak Holding. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors is entitled to certain fees in connection with the fund. The fund will pay an acquisition fee equal to 1.5% of the purchase price of each asset (including any debt incurred or assumed and significant capital improvement costs budgeted as of the date of acquisition) with a purchase price less than or equal to $25.0 million plus 1.0% of the purchase price in excess of $25.0 million; a quarterly asset management fee equal to 0.25% of the total purchase price of all assets (including any debt incurred or assumed and significant capital improvement costs budgeted as of the date of acquisition) as of the end of the applicable quarter; and a financing fee equal to 0.5% of the original principal amount of any indebtedness they incur (reduced by any financing fee previously paid with respect to indebtedness being refinanced). In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the fees above will be determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the investment. Pacific Oak is also entitled to certain distributions paid by the Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I after the Class A Members have received their preferred return. These fees and distributions have been waived for the Company’s $20.6 million investment. In addition, a side letter agreement between the Advisor and Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I was executed on February 28, 2020 and stipulates that any asset management fees allocable to the Company and waived by the Advisor for Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I shall be distributed to the Company.

Subordinated Performance Fee Due Upon Termination to KBS Capital Advisors
The Company and KBS Capital Advisors agreed to terminate their advisory agreement effective October 31, 2019. In connection with that agreement, the Company agreed to pay KBS Capital Advisors a subordinated performance fee due upon termination in the form of Restricted Stock, to be paid to KBS Capital Advisors upon the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The number of Restricted Stock to be awarded has been set at 3,411,737 shares and was issued on March 27, 2020. This termination payout value to KBS Capital Advisors (the “KBS Termination Fee Value”) was determined based on the Company’s performance from inception through September 30, 2018. In other words, it was based on the Company’s participation fee potential liability to KBS Capital Advisors calculated with respect to the November 12, 2018 estimated value per share. As a result, when the Company hired Pacific Oak Capital Advisors as the Company’s new advisor on November 1, 2019, the Company agreed to a participation fee that was based on the Company’s performance from September 30, 2018. The Restricted Stock vests on November 1, 2021. Within 60 days from vesting of the Restricted Stock, the Company will redeem 50% of the Restricted Stock, with the amount of the cash payment per share determined based on the then most recent net asset value of the shares (which shall not be more than six months old). The remaining vested Restricted Stock (the “Remaining Shares”) shall not be eligible for redemption under the Company’s share redemption program unless the Company has satisfied all outstanding redemption requests from other stockholders, provided that (a) this restriction may be waived in certain situations, such as upon a change of control of the Company and (b) notwithstanding the foregoing, within 60 days after November 1, 2024, the Company shall be required to redeem any Remaining Shares, separate and outside of any general stockholder share redemption program, at the then most recent net asset value per share (which shall not be more than six months old), provided that such outstanding shares are owned or controlled by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. or the estate of Peter M. Bren, and provided further that pursuant to this clause (b) the Company will only be required to redeem that number Remaining Shares which, when added to any previously redeemed Remaining Shares owned or controlled by Charles J. Schreiber, Jr. or the estate of Peter M. Bren, does not exceed two-thirds of the total number of Remaining Shares.
The Company also agreed with KBS Capital Advisors and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors that with respect to any fiscal quarter that any matter related to the award of Restricted Stock results in a company expense that falls within the definition of Total Operating Expenses (as defined in the Company’s charter), if Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines (as defined in the Company’s charter), then the Company’s conflicts committee will determine an Excess Amount (as defined in the Company’s charter) is justified, based on unusual and non-recurring factors that it deems sufficient, in an amount sufficient (a) to allow the portion of Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended comprised of the Restricted Stock expenses to be paid or incurred by the Company without reimbursement by the Advisor (as defined in the Company’s charter) and (b) to allow any other portion of Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be paid or incurred by the Company without reimbursement by the Advisor, to the extent such portion alone (i.e., that portion of Total Operating Expenses exclusive of the Restricted Stock expenses) would not have exceeded the 2%/25% Guidelines.

Investment in National Industrial Portfolio Joint Venture
On May 18, 2012, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a joint venture (the “NIP Joint Venture”) with OCM NIP JV Holdings, L.P. and HC KBS NIP JV, LLC (“HC-KBS”). The NIP Joint Venture has invested in a portfolio of industrial properties. The Company made an initial capital contribution of $8.0 million, which represents less than a 5.0% ownership interest in the NIP Joint Venture as of June 30, 2020.
Prior to January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I, an affiliate of KBS Capital Advisors, was a member of HC-KBS and had a participation interest in certain future potential profits generated by the NIP Joint Venture.  However, KBS REIT I did not have any equity interest in the NIP Joint Venture. On January 17, 2018, KBS REIT I assigned its participation interest in the NIP Joint Venture to one of the other joint venture partners in the NIP Joint Venture. None of the other joint venture partners are affiliated with the Company or the Advisor.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the NIP Joint Venture sold the remaining properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received a distribution of $1.3 million related to its investment in the NIP Joint Venture and the Company recognized $0.1 million as income distribution and $1.2 million as a return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received a distribution of $0.3 million related to its investment in the NIP Joint Venture, which is reflected as a return of capital from the NIP Joint Venture.
Investment in 110 William Joint Venture
On December 23, 2013, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with SREF III 110 William JV, LLC (the “110 William JV Partner”) to form a joint venture (the “110 William Joint Venture”). On May 2, 2014, the 110 William Joint Venture acquired an office property containing 928,157 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.8 acres of land in New York, New York (“110 William Street”). Each of the Company and the 110 William JV Partner hold a 60% and 40% ownership interest in the 110 William Joint Venture, respectively.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 110 William Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 110 William Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting. Income, losses, contributions and distributions are generally allocated based on the members’ respective equity interests.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture was $0. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the 110 William Joint Venture made a $7.8 million distribution to the Company and a $5.2 million distribution to the 110 William JV Partner funded with proceeds from the 110 William refinancing (discussed below). The distribution exceeded the book value of the Company’s investment in the 110 William Joint Venture, and the Company recorded the $7.8 million distribution as a gain included in equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This gain was recorded because the Company determined that the distribution is not refundable and it does not have an implicit or explicit commitment to fund the 110 William Joint Venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company suspended the equity method of accounting and the Company will not record the Company's share of losses and will not record the Company's share of any subsequent income for the 110 William Joint Venture until the Company’s share of net income exceeds the gain recorded and the Company’s share of the net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company did not record equity in income from the 110 William Joint venture.

Investment in 353 Sacramento Joint Venture
On July 6, 2017, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Migdal Members to form a joint venture (the “353 Sacramento Joint Venture”). On July 6, 2017, the Company sold a 45% equity interest in an entity that owns an office building containing 284,751 rentable square feet located on approximately 0.35 acres of land in San Francisco, California (“353 Sacramento”) to the Migdal Members. The sale resulted in 353 Sacramento being owned by the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture, in which the Company indirectly owns 55% of the equity interests and the Migdal Members indirectly own 45% in the aggregate of the equity interests.
The Company exercises significant influence over the operations, financial policies and decision making with respect to the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture but significant decisions require approval from both members. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for its investment in the 353 Sacramento Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units
Beginning October 28, 2016, the Company invested in Battery Point Series B Preferred Units and on March 20, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a redemption agreement for the Battery Point Series B Preferred Units. The redemption agreement resulted in the redemption of the Company’s entire investment of 13,000 Series B Preferred Units with a per-unit price of $1,000 with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $13.0 million. The Company received a principal paydown of $7.7 million plus accrued interest and an exit fee.  In addition, the Company received 210,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units with a per-unit price of $25 with an aggregate face amount of $5.3 million. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are entitled to a monthly dividend based on an annual rate of 7.5%. The annual dividend rate increases to 10% for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2020 and to 11% for the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units not redeemed by February 28, 2021. On each monthly dividend payment date, Battery Point has the obligation to use 20% of the net proceeds of any and all future equity capital raising to redeem the Series A-3 Preferred Units. The Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units are redeemable at any time by Battery Point and holders of Series A-3 Preferred Shares may elect to redeem their units beginning on February 28, 2021, subject to Battery Point’s board of directors’ determination that the company has sufficient cash.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company purchased additional 430,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units for an aggregate amount of $10.8 million.
The Company does not have a unilateral right to redeem the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units on a stated redemption date, therefore the Company classified the Series A-3 Preferred Units as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value.  In accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, the Company may elect to measure an equity investment without a readily determinable value that does not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share, at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.  The Company elected to measure its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units in accordance with the above accounting guidance and recorded its investment in the Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units as of June 30, 2020, at a carrying value of $14.0 million and with a total of 640,000 shares.  During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company received distributions of $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, which were recognized as dividend income from real estate equity securities.
On July 1, 2020, the Company acquired Battery Point. As a result of this acquisition, the Company’s 640,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units will be eliminated in consolidation. See Note 16, "Subsequent Events - Battery Point Trust Inc. Acquisition" for more information.
Investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company acquired 91 Class A Units for $20.6 million in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I. As of December 31, 2019, the book value of the Company’s investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I was $20.8 million, which includes $0.2 million of acquisition fees. As of June 30, 2020, Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I consolidated two joint ventures with real estate under development. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has concluded that Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I qualifies as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) because there is insufficient equity at risk to finance the entity’s activities and the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE since it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and will account for its investment under the equity method of accounting.  
The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is limited to the carrying value of the investment in Pacific Oak Opportunity Zone Fund I which totaled $21.3 million as of June 30, 2020.

14. PORT PREFERRED STOCK
A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Pacific Oak Residential Trust, Inc. (“PORT”), has authorized and issued preferred stock. The Company has elected to use the measurement method described under ASC 480-10-S99-3A, paragraph 15(b), resulting in the preferred stock being classified in mezzanine equity and measured based on the estimated future redemption value as of June 30, 2020.
On November 6, 2019, PORT issued 15,000 shares out of its available 25,000,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $1,000 per share resulting in net proceeds of $15.0 million before issuance costs. The shares provide for an annual dividend of 6% payable quarterly, which increases to 12% if all shares are not redeemed by the Company immediately following the redemption date. However, the 12% dividend rate does not apply until the aggregate number of shares selected for redemption do not constitute 10% or more of all outstanding shares. The shares may be redeemed by the holders beginning on November 4, 2021 for $1,000 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends through the redemption date, or after November 4, 2022 for $1,120 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends through the redemption date. In addition, after November 4, 2020, the shares are redeemable at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price of $1,120 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends. Additionally, if the common shares of PORT are publicly traded, the holder may elect to convert its preferred shares into PORT common shares based on a value of the preferred shares of $1,120 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends, and a conversion price of the common shares as stated in the agreement.
On November 22, 2019, PORT issued 125 shares of its Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $1,000 per share resulting in net proceeds of $0.1 million after issuance costs. The shares provide for an annual dividend of 12.5% payable semiannually. The shares may be redeemed by the holders for $1,050 per share until December 31, 2021 and for $1,000 per share thereafter.
The following is a reconciliation of PORT’s noncontrolling cumulative convertible redeemable preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2020:

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Economic Dependency
The Company is dependent on the Advisor for certain services that are essential to the Company, including the identification, evaluation, negotiation, origination, acquisition and disposition of investments; management of the daily operations of the Company’s investment portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that the Advisor is unable to provide these services, the Company will be required to obtain such services from other sources.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Although there can be no assurance, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations as of June 30, 2020. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
COVID-19
During the first and second quarter of 2020 and subsequent periods, efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. The Company continues to follow the policies described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those related to impairments of real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated affiliates and collectability assessments on operating lease receivables. While our current analyses did not result in any material adjustments to amounts as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2020, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in recording impairments, lease modifications and changes to collectability assessments in future periods.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and the possible range of loss. Additionally, the Company has not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Battery Point Trust Inc. Acquisition
On July 1, 2020, the Company acquired, through its subsidiaries, Battery Point Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Battery Point”). Battery Point is a real estate investment trust that owns 559 single-family rental homes throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Following this transaction, the Company now owns 1,749 single-family rental homes nationwide. All of these assets are held by the Company through its subsidiary, PORT OP LP (formerly known as Reven Housing REIT OP, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (“PORT OP”).
The Company acquired Battery Point by acquiring all the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of Battery Point common stock from BPT Holdings, LLC (“BPT Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Advisor. The Advisor is the Company’s external advisor and is owned and controlled by Keith D. Hall, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Peter M. McMillan, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board. In exchange, BPT Holdings received 510,816 common equity units in PORT OP, approximately 4.5% of the outstanding common equity units. The value of the interests exchanged was estimated by the participants at approximately $3.0 million. As a result of the Battery Point acquisition, the Company’s 640,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units will be eliminated in consolidation. The Company is in process of assessing the fair value of the acquired tangible assets, liabilities assumed and any applicable intangible assets and liabilities for this business combination.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and the notes thereto. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and, as required by context, Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to as the “Operating Partnership,” and to their subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc. and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
We depend on our advisor to conduct our operations and eventually dispose of our investments.
Because our new advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, was recently formed, it could face challenges with employee hiring and retention, information technology, vendor relationships, and funding; if Pacific Oak Capital Advisors faces challenges in performing its obligations to us, it could negatively impact our ability to achieve our investment objectives.
We depend on tenants for our revenue and, accordingly, our revenue is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants. Revenues from our property investments could decrease due to a reduction in tenants (caused by factors including, but not limited to, tenant defaults, tenant insolvency, early termination of tenant leases and non-renewal of existing tenant leases) and/or lower rental rates, limiting our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
We face potential business disruptions due to the recent global outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). The virus has significantly disrupted economic markets and impacted commercial activity worldwide, including the US, and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. Our tenants and potential tenants of the properties we own could be adversely affected by the disruption to business caused by the virus.
Our opportunistic investment strategy involves a higher risk of loss than would a strategy of investing in some other types of real estate and real estate-related investments.
We have paid distributions from financings and in the future we may not pay distributions solely from our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have less funds available for investment in loans, properties and other assets, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
All of our executive officers and some of our directors and other key real estate and debt finance professionals are also officers, directors, managers, key professionals and/or holders of a direct or indirect controlling interest in our former or current advisor, our dealer manager and other Pacific Oak-affiliated entities. As a result, they face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our former or current advisor’s compensation arrangements with us and other Pacific Oak-advised programs and investors and conflicts in allocating time among us and these other programs and investors. These conflicts could result in unanticipated actions. Fees paid to our former or current advisor in connection with transactions involving the origination, acquisition and management of our investments are based on the cost of the investment, not on the quality of the investment or services rendered to us. This arrangement could influence our former or current advisor to recommend riskier transactions to us.
We pay substantial fees to and expenses of our advisor and its affiliates. These payments increase the risk that our stockholders will not earn a profit on their investment in us and increase our stockholders’ risk of loss.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We cannot predict with any certainty how much, if any, of our dividend reinvestment plan proceeds will be available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the redemption of shares under our share redemption program, future funding obligations under any real estate loans receivable we acquire, the funding of capital expenditures on our real estate investments or the repayment of debt. If such funds are not available from the dividend reinvestment plan offering, then we may have to use a greater proportion of our cash flow from operations to meet these cash requirements, which would reduce cash available for distributions and could limit our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program.
We have focused, and may continue to focus, our investments in non-performing real estate and real estate-related loans, real estate-related loans secured by non-stabilized assets and real estate-related securities, which involve more risk than investments in performing real estate and real estate-related assets
All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Overview
We were formed on October 8, 2008 as a Maryland corporation, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010 and intend to operate in such manner. KBS Capital Advisors LLC (“KBS Capital Advisors”) was our advisor. On October 31, 2019, KBS Capital Advisors ceased to serve as our advisor or have any advisory responsibility to us immediately following the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2019 (filed on November 8, 2019) with the SEC. On November 1, 2019, we entered into a new advisory agreement with Pacific Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Pacific Oak Capital Advisors”). The new advisory agreement is effective as of November 1, 2019 through November 1, 2020; however the Company may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 30 days’ written notice and Pacific Oak Capital Advisors may terminate the advisory agreement without cause or penalty upon providing 90 days’ written notice. The terms of the advisory agreement are consistent with those of the advisory agreement that was previously in effect with KBS Capital Advisors, except as described in Note 10.
As our advisor, Pacific Oak Capital Advisors manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of investments. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also has the authority to make all of the decisions regarding our investments, subject to the limitations in our charter and the direction and oversight of our board of directors. Pacific Oak Capital Advisors also provides asset-management, marketing, investor-relations and other administrative services on our behalf. We have sought to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments. We conduct our business primarily through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.
On January 8, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 140,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public, of which 100,000,000 shares were registered in our primary offering and 40,000,000 shares were registered under our dividend reinvestment plan. We ceased offering shares of common stock in our primary offering on November 14, 2012. We sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in the primary offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of June 30, 2020, we had sold 6,851,969 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.5 million. Also as of June 30, 2020, we had redeemed 23,896,605 of the shares sold in our offering for $286.2 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had issued 25,976,746 shares of common stock in connection with special dividends. Additionally, on December 29, 2011 and October 23, 2012, we issued 220,994 shares and 55,249 shares of common stock, respectively, for $2.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On March 2, 2016, Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. (“Pacific Oak SOR BVI”), our wholly owned subsidiary, filed a final prospectus with the Israel Securities Authority for a proposed offering of up to 1,000,000,000 Israeli new Shekels of Series A debentures (the “Series A Debentures”) at an annual interest rate not to exceed 4.25%. On March 1, 2016, Pacific Oak SOR BVI commenced the institutional tender of the Series A Debentures and accepted application for 842.5 million Israeli new Shekels. On March 7, 2016, Pacific Oak SOR BVI commenced the public tender of the Series A Debentures and accepted 127.7 million Israeli new Shekels.  In the aggregate, Pacific Oak SOR BVI accepted 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in both the institutional and public tenders at an annual interest rate of 4.25%.  Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued the Series A Debentures on March 8, 2016. The terms of the Series A Debentures require five equal principal installment payments annually on March 1st of each year from 2019 to 2023.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
On January 22, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 with the SEC to offer up to $1 billion in additional shares of our common stock. This new registration statement contemplates a proposed conversion of our company to a perpetual-life net asset value or “NAV” REIT that offers and sells shares of our common stock continuously through a number of distribution channels in ongoing public offerings, and seeks to provide increased liquidity to current and future stockholders through an expansion of our current share redemption program.
On February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of Series B debentures (the “Series B Debentures”) to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israel Securities Authority. The Series B Debentures will bear interest at the rate of 3.93% per year. The Series B Debentures have principal installment payments equal to 33.33% of the face amount of the Series B Debentures on January 31st of each year from 2024 to 2026.
On February 19, 2020, we, Pacific Oak SOR II, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of ours (“Merger Sub”), and Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. (“POSOR II”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, POSOR II will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Entity will continue as an indirect subsidiary of ours. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the separate existence of POSOR II shall cease. At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of POSOR II’s common stock (or a fraction thereof), $0.01 par value per share, will be converted into the right to receive 0.9643 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The combined company after the Merger will retain the name “Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.” The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under, and within the meaning of, Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
As of June 30, 2020, we consolidated six office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres, one residential home portfolio consisting of 1,190 single-family homes and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and three investments in real estate equity securities.

Market Outlook – Real Estate and Real Estate Finance Markets
Volatility in global financial markets and changing political environments can cause fluctuations  in the performance of the U.S. commercial real estate markets.  Possible future declines in rental rates, slower or potentially negative net absorption of leased space and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. To the extent there are increases in the cost of financing due to higher interest rates, this may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. Further, increases in interest rates would increase the amount of our debt payments on our variable rate debt to the extent the interest rates on such debt are not limited by interest rate caps. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. Management continuously reviews our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure.
During the first and second quarter of 2020 and subsequent periods, efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus
have had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. While our current analyses did not result in any material adjustments to amounts as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2020, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in recording impairments, lease modifications and changes to collectability assessments in future periods. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors, many of which are not within management’s control, and that we are unable to predict at this time, including but not limited to: the duration and scope of the pandemic; the pandemic’s impact on current and future economic activity; and the actions of governments, businesses and individuals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demand for funds during the short and long-term is and will be for the acquisition of real estate and real estate-related investments, payment of operating expenses, capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses, payments under debt obligations, redemptions and purchases of our common stock and payments of distributions to stockholders. While we expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for the foreseeable future, the COVID-19 pandemic and associated responses could adversely impact our future cash flows and financial condition. To date, we have had six primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements:
Proceeds from the primary portion of our initial public offering; 
Proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan;
Proceeds from our public bond offering in Israel;
Debt financing;
Proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayment of real estate-related investments; and
Cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments. 
We sold 56,584,976 shares of common stock in the primary portion of our initial public offering for gross offering proceeds of $561.7 million. We ceased offering shares in the primary portion of our initial public offering on November 14, 2012. We continue to offer shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan. As of June 30, 2020, we had sold 6,851,969 shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan for gross offering proceeds of $76.5 million. To date, we have invested all of the net proceeds from our initial public offering in real estate and real estate-related investments. We intend to use our cash on hand, proceeds from asset sales, proceeds from debt financing, cash flow generated by our real estate operations and real estate-related investments and proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan as our primary sources of immediate and long-term liquidity.
Our investments in real estate generate cash flow in the form of rental revenues and tenant reimbursements, which are reduced by operating expenditures and corporate general and administrative expenses.  Cash flow from operations from our real estate investments is primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our properties, the net effective rental rates on our leases, the collectibility of rent and operating recoveries from our tenants and how well we manage our expenditures.  As of June 30, 2020, our office properties were collectively 78% occupied, our residential home portfolio was 95% occupied and our apartment property was 84% occupied. As of July 2020, we collected 93.7% of total charged rent for the month of June.
Investments in real estate equity securities generate cash flow in the form of dividend income, which is reduced by asset management fees. As of June 30, 2020, we had three investments in real estate equity securities outstanding with a total carrying value of $76.7 million.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee of our board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expense reimbursements for the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2020 exceeded the charter imposed limitation; however, the conflicts committee determined that the relationship of our operating expenses to our average invested assets was justified given that we chose to terminate our advisory agreement with our prior external advisor and were contractually obligated to pay them a performance fee due upon termination.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our cash needs for capital expenditures, redemptions of common stock and debt servicing were met with proceeds from dispositions of real estate, real estate equity securities and undeveloped land, proceeds from debt financing, proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and cash on hand. Operating cash needs during the same period were met through cash flow generated by our real estate and real estate-related investments and cash on hand. As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding debt obligations in the aggregate principal amount of $721.9 million, with a weighted-average remaining term of 2.1 years. As of June 30, 2020, we had a total of $321.5 million of debt obligations scheduled to mature within 12 months of that date. We plan to exercise our extension options available under our loan agreements or pay down or refinance the related notes payable prior to their maturity dates.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and intend to operate as a REIT. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our board of directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum distribution level.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
As of June 30, 2020, we consolidated six office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property, one residential home portfolio consisting of 1,190 single-family homes and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and three investments in real estate equity securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 million. We expect that our cash flows from operating activities will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space that is currently unoccupied and anticipated future acquisitions of real estate and real estate-related investments. However, our cash flows from operating activities may decrease to the extent that we dispose of additional assets.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and primarily consisted of the following:
Investment in real estate equity securities of $21.3 million;
Acquisition of real estate of $17.2 million;
Improvements to real estate of $11.5 million;
Proceeds from the sale of real estate equity securities of $11.0 million; and
Distribution of capital from unconsolidated entities of $1.2 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $40.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and consisted primarily of the following:
$42.3 million of net cash provided by debt and other financings as a result of proceeds from notes payable of $101.9 million, partially offset by principal payments on notes and bonds payable of $57.1 million and payments of deferred financing costs of $2.5 million;
$0.8 million of cash used for redemptions of common stock;
$0.5 million of offering costs paid in connection with a potential offering;
$0.3 million of cash used for preferred dividends; and
$0.3 million of net cash distributions to stockholders, after giving effect to distributions reinvested by stockholders of $0.3 million.
In order to execute our investment strategy, we utilize secured debt and we may, to the extent available, utilize unsecured debt, to finance a portion of our investment portfolio. Management remains vigilant in monitoring the risks inherent with the use of debt in our portfolio and is taking actions to ensure that these risks, including refinancing and interest risks, are properly balanced with the benefit of using leverage. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for any single investment. Our charter limits our total liabilities such that our total liabilities may not exceed 75% of the cost of our tangible assets; however, we may exceed that limit if a majority of the conflicts committee approves each borrowing in excess of our charter limitation and we disclose such borrowing to our common stockholders in our next quarterly report with an explanation from the conflicts committee of the justification for the excess borrowing. As of June 30, 2020, our borrowings and other liabilities were both approximately 70% of the cost (before depreciation and other noncash reserves) and the book value (before depreciation) of our tangible assets.
In March 2016, we, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, issued 970.2 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $249.2 million as of March 8, 2016) in 4.25% bonds to investors in Israel pursuant to a public offering registered in Israel. The bonds have a seven year term, with principal payable in five equal annual installments from 2019 to 2023.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
February 16, 2020, Pacific Oak SOR BVI issued 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020) of the Series B Debentures to Israeli investors pursuant to a public offering registered with the Israel Securities Authority. The Series B Debentures will bear interest at the rate of 3.93% per year. The Series B Debentures have principal installment payments equal to 33.33% of the face amount of the Series B Debentures on January 31st of each year from 2024 to 2026.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we use or have used our capital resources to make certain payments to our advisor and our dealer manager. During our offering stage, these payments included payments to our dealer manager for selling commissions and dealer manager fees related to sales in our primary offering and payments to our dealer manager and our advisor for reimbursement of certain organization and other offering expenses related both to the primary offering and the dividend reinvestment plan. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to continue to make payments to our advisor in connection with the selection and origination or purchase of investments, the management of our assets and costs incurred by our advisor in providing services to us as well as for any dispositions of assets (including the discounted payoff of non-performing loans).
Among the fees payable to our advisor is an asset management fee. With respect to investments in loans and any investments other than real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee calculated, each month, as one-twelfth of 0.75% of the lesser of (i) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire or fund such investment and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, plus the fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment, as of the time of calculation. With respect to investments in real property, the asset management fee is a monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the sum of the amount paid or allocated to acquire the investment, plus the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property, and inclusive of fees and expenses related thereto and the amount of any debt associated with or used to acquire such investment. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on our proportionate share of the underlying investment, inclusive of our proportionate share of any fees and expenses related thereto.

Results of Operations
Overview
As of June 30, 2019, we consolidated seven office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one retail property, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and three investments in real estate equity securities. As of June 30, 2020, we consolidated six office properties, one office portfolio consisting of four office buildings and 14 acres of undeveloped land, one apartment property and three investments in undeveloped land with approximately 1,000 developable acres, one residential home portfolio consisting of 1,190 single-family homes and owned five investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and three investments in real estate equity securities. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be indicative of those in future periods due to acquisition and disposition activities and COVID-19 related impacts. Additionally, the occupancy in our properties, excluding our residential home portfolio, has not been stabilized. As of June 30, 2020, our office properties were collectively 78% occupied, our residential home portfolio was 95% occupied and our apartment property was 84% occupied. However, due to the amount of near-term lease expirations, we do not put significant emphasis on quarterly changes in occupancy (positive or negative) in the short run. Our underwriting and valuations are generally more sensitive to “terminal values” that may be realized upon the disposition of the assets in the portfolio and less sensitive to ongoing cash flows generated by the portfolio in the years leading up to an eventual sale. There are no guarantees that occupancies of our assets will increase, or that we will recognize a gain on the sale of our assets. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and acquiring additional assets but decrease due to disposition activity.

(1) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 related to real estate and real estate-related investments acquired or disposed on or after April 1, 2019.
(2) Represents the dollar amount increase (decrease) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 with respect to real estate and real estate-related investments owned by us during the entirety of both periods presented.
Rental income increased from $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $21.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019 and 2020, increase in occupancy for properties held throughout both periods and partially offset by a decrease in rental rates and dispositions in 2019. The occupancy of our office properties, held throughout both periods increased from 75% as of June 30, 2019 to 79% as of June 30, 2020. Annualized base rent per square foot decreased from $25.67 as of June 30, 2019 to $25.10 as of June 30, 2020 related to properties (excluding apartments and single-family homes) held throughout both periods. We expect rental income to increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.

Other operating income decreased from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the sale of real estate assets subsequent to June 30, 2019. We expect other operating income to increase in future periods as a result of leasing additional space, increases in parking income as we stabilize properties and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Dividend income from real estate equity securities increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the acquisition of real estate equity securities subsequent to June 30, 2019. We expect dividend income from real estate equity securities to vary in future periods as a result of the timing of dividends declared and investment activity.
Property operating costs remained consistent at $6.8 million for both of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 and real estate taxes and insurance increased from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019 and partially offset with properties disposed in 2019. We expect property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, increasing occupancy of our real estate assets and general inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Asset management fees increased from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019, partially offset by properties disposed in 2019. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in future periods based on investment and disposition activity as well as costs incurred to evaluate strategic transactions.
We recognized a $2.2 million foreign currency transaction loss, net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $2.5 million of foreign currency transaction loss, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, related to the debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates, but expect our exposure to be limited to the extent that we have entered into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars. As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into two foreign currency collars to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collars expire in September 2020 and have an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 798.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a $3.2 million gain related to the foreign currency collars and a $5.4 million foreign currency transaction loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a $1.2 million gain related to the foreign currency collar, which is shown net against $3.7 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019 and capital expenditures. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.
Interest expense decreased from $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the paydown of debt on properties disposed in 2019 and the March 31, 2019 and 2020 Series A Debentures principal installment payments of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019 and $56.6 million as of March 1, 2020) and decreased one-month LIBOR rates during the three months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by increased borrowings related to properties acquired in 2019, issuance of Israel Series B Debentures of 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels on February 16, 2020 (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020). Excluded from interest expense was $0.8 million and $0.7 million of interest capitalized to our investments in undeveloped land and an unconsolidated entity during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our interest expense in future periods will vary based on interest rate fluctuations, the amount of interest capitalized and our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the availability and cost of debt financing and the opportunity to acquire real estate and real estate-related investments meeting our investment objectives and will decrease to the extent we dispose of properties and paydown debt, including annual principal installment payments on the Series A and Series B Debentures.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures increased from loss of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to income of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of an increase in revenue due to new tenants for the 353 Sacramento joint venture for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Other interest income decreased from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of decreased dividends from money market mutual funds due to our decreased investment balance in these funds.
Gain on real estate equity securities increased from $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We expect gains and losses on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.

Interest income from real estate debt securities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and was redeemed on March 20, 2019.
Dividend income from real estate equity securities increased from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the acquisition of real estate equity securities subsequent to June 30, 2019. We expect dividend income from real estate equity securities to vary in future periods as a result of the timing of dividends declared and investment activity.
Property operating costs increased from $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and real estate taxes and insurance increased from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019 and partially offset with properties disposed in 2019. We expect property operating costs and real estate taxes and insurance to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, increasing occupancy of our real estate assets and general inflation, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
Asset management fees increased from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019, partially offset by properties disposed in 2019. We expect asset management fees to increase in future periods to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease to the extent we dispose of properties.
General and administrative expenses increased from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increased legal and advisory expenses million related to the proposed merger with Pacific Oak Strategic Opportunity REIT II. We expect general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in future periods based on investment and disposition activity as well as costs incurred to evaluate strategic transactions.
We recognized a $12.8 million foreign currency transaction gain, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $5.3 million of foreign currency transaction loss, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, related to the debentures in Israel. These debentures are denominated in Israeli new Shekels and we expect to recognize foreign transaction gains and losses based on changes in foreign currency exchange rates, but expect our exposure to be limited to the extent that we have entered into foreign currency options and foreign currency collars. As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into two foreign currency collars to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collars expire in September 2020 and have an aggregate Israeli new Shekels notional amount of 798.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a $12.2 million gain related to the foreign currency collars and a $0.6 million foreign currency transaction gain. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a $4.2 million gain related to the foreign currency collar, which is shown net against $9.5 million of foreign currency transaction loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as foreign currency transaction loss, net.
Depreciation and amortization increased from $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of properties acquired in 2019 and capital expenditures. We expect depreciation and amortization to increase in future periods as a result of owning the property acquired during 2019 for an entire period and to the extent we acquire additional properties, but to decrease as a result of amortization of tenant origination costs related to lease expirations and disposition of properties.
Interest expense decreased from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the paydown of debt on properties disposed in 2019 and the March 31, 2019 and 2020 Series A Debentures principal installment payments of 194.0 million Israeli new Shekels (approximately $53.6 million as of March 1, 2019 and $56.6 million as of March 1, 2020) and decreased one-month LIBOR rates during the six months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by increased borrowings related to properties acquired in 2019, issuance of Israel Series B Debentures of 254.1 million Israeli new Shekels on February 16, 2020 (approximately $74.1 million as of February 16, 2020). Excluded from interest expense was $1.7 million and $1.4 million of interest capitalized to our investments in undeveloped land and an unconsolidated entity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Equity in income of unconsolidated joint ventures decreased from income of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the $7.8 million distribution from the 110 William Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $7.5 million equity in income from the 110 William Joint Venture, which includes a $7.8 million gain related to a distribution received, net of our share of net losses of $0.3 million. We ceased to record the 110 William Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting due to distributions received during the six months ended June 30, 2019 exceeding our investment balance.
Other interest income decreased from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of decreased dividends from money market mutual funds due to our decreased investment balance in these funds.
Gain on real estate equity securities was $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which was made up of a$12.1 million unrealized gain on real estate securities held at June 30, 2019 and a $3.4 million realized gain on real estate securities sold during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Loss on real estate equity securities was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We expect gains and losses on real estate equity securities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of changes in share prices of our investments in real estate equity securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold one apartment property that resulted in a gain on sale of $7.6 million. There were no dispositions during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million related to debt repayments in connection with a real estate disposition.

Funds from Operations, Modified Funds from Operations and Adjusted Modified Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. FFO represents net income, excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), impairment losses on real estate assets, depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, we elected the option to exclude mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We believe FFO facilitates comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other REITs. However, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. Our management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and provides a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities.
Changes in accounting rules have resulted in a substantial increase in the number of non-operating and non-cash items included in the calculation of FFO. As a result, our management also uses modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance as well as our dividend sustainability. MFFO excludes from FFO: acquisition fees and expenses (to the extent that such fees and expenses have been recorded as operating expenses); adjustments related to contingent purchase price obligations; amounts relating to straight-line rents and amortization of above- and below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; amortization of closing costs relating to debt investments; impairments of real estate-related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; and gains or losses included in net income for the extinguishment or sale of debt or hedges. We compute MFFO in accordance with the definition of MFFO included in the practice guideline issued by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”) in November 2010 as interpreted by management. Our computation of MFFO may not be comparable to other REITs that do not compute MFFO in accordance with the current IPA definition or that interpret the current IPA definition differently than we do.
In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO (“Adjusted MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance, as well as our dividend sustainability. Adjusted MFFO provides adjustments to reduce MFFO related to operating expenses that are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are helpful as measures of ongoing operating performance because they exclude costs that management considers more reflective of investing activities and other non-operating items included in FFO. Management believes that excluding acquisition costs, prior to our early adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, from MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the portfolio over time, including periods after our acquisition stage. MFFO and Adjusted MFFO also exclude non-cash items such as straight-line rental revenue.  Additionally, we believe that MFFO and Adjusted MFFO provide investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance indicators and analysis used by management, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, to evaluate the sustainability of our operating performance.  MFFO provides comparability in evaluating the operating performance of our portfolio with other non-traded REITs which typically have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies.  MFFO, or an equivalent measure, is routinely reported by non-traded REITs, and we believe often used by analysts and investors for comparison purposes.
FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization and the other items described above. Accordingly, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our current and historical operating performance. In addition, FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an indication of our liquidity. We believe FFO, MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, in addition to net income and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are meaningful supplemental performance measures.
Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of straight-line rent, the amortization of above- and below-market leases, mark to market foreign currency transaction adjustments and extinguishment of debt are the most significant adjustments for the periods presented.  We have excluded these items based on the following economic considerations:
Adjustments for straight-line rent.  These are adjustments to rental revenue as required by GAAP to recognize contractual lease payments on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease.  We have excluded these adjustments in our calculation of MFFO to more appropriately reflect the current economic impact of our in-place leases, while also providing investors with a useful supplemental metric that addresses core operating performance by removing rent we expect to receive in a future period or rent that was received in a prior period;
Amortization of above- and below-market leases.  Similar to depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and lease related costs that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangible lease assets and liabilities diminishes predictably over time and requires that these charges be recognized currently in revenue.  Since market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with local market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economics of the real estate;
Mark-to-market foreign currency transaction adjustments. The U.S. Dollar is our functional currency. Transactions denominated in currency other than our functional currency are recorded upon initial recognition at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured at each reporting date into the foreign currency at the exchange rate on that date. In addition, we have entered into foreign currency collars and foreign currency options that results in a foreign currency transaction adjustment. These amounts can increase or reduce net income. We exclude them from MFFO to more appropriately present the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis; and
Loss on extinguishment of debt. A loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes prepayment fees related to the extinguishment of debt, represents the difference between the carrying value of any consideration transferred to the lender in return for the extinguishment of a debt and the net carrying value of the debt at the time of settlement. We have excluded the loss from extinguishment of debt in our calculation of MFFO because these losses do not impact the current operating performance of our investments and do not provide an indication of future operating performance.

Adjusted MFFO includes adjustments to reduce MFFO related to real estate taxes, property insurance and financing costs which are capitalized with respect to certain of our investments in undeveloped land.  We have included adjustments for the costs incurred necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, as these costs are recurring operating costs that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and not reflected in our net (loss) income, FFO and MFFO. In addition, adjusted MFFO includes an adjustment for casualty loss and fair value change of restricted stock payable. We believe excluding these items appropriately presents the ongoing operating performance of our real estate investments on a comparative basis.
Our calculation of FFO, which we believe is consistent with the calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT, is presented in the following table, along with our calculations of MFFO and Adjusted MFFO, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands). No conclusions or comparisons should be made from the presentation of these periods.

Distributions
Common distributions declared, distributions paid and cash flows provided by operations were as follows for the first quarter of 2020 (in thousands, except per share amounts):
 Distribution DeclaredDistributions Declared Per Share

Second Quarter 2020—  —  29  —  29  5,616  
$596  $0.0086  $334  $262  $596  $4,096  
On January 23, 2020, our board of directors authorized a distribution in the amount of $0.0086 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 29, 2020. We paid this distribution on January 29, 2020 and this was the only distribution declared during the first quarter of 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we paid aggregate distributions of $0.6 million, including $0.3 million of distributions paid in cash and $0.3 million of distributions reinvested through our dividend reinvestment plan. Our net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $13.8 million and our cash flows provided by operations were $4.9 million. Our cumulative distributions paid and net income attributable to common stockholders from inception through June 30, 2020 were $195.4 million and $155.5 million, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions paid, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from debt financing of $18.7 million, proceeds from the dispositions of property of $83.4 million and cash provided by operations of $98.8 million. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our financial statements requires significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments will affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. A discussion of the accounting policies that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC. There have been no significant changes to our policies during 2020.

Subsequent Events
We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Battery Point Trust Inc. Acquisition
On July 1, 2020, we acquired, through our subsidiaries, Battery Point Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Battery Point”). Battery Point is a real estate investment trust that owns 559 single-family rental homes throughout the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. Following this transaction, we now own 1,749 single-family rental homes nationwide. All of these assets are held by us through our subsidiary, PORT OP LP (formerly known as Reven Housing REIT OP, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership (“PORT OP”).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)
We acquired Battery Point by acquiring all the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of Battery Point common stock from BPT Holdings, LLC (“BPT Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Oak Capital Advisors. Our external advisor and is owned and controlled by Keith D. Hall, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, and Peter M. McMillan, our President and Chairman of the Board. In exchange, BPT Holdings received 510,816 common equity units in PORT OP, approximately 4.5% of the outstanding common equity units. The value of the interests exchanged was estimated by the participants at approximately $3.0 million. As a result of the Battery Point acquisition, our 640,000 shares of Battery Point Series A-3 Preferred Units will be eliminated in consolidation. We are in process of assessing the fair value of the acquired tangible assets, liabilities assumed and any applicable intangible assets and liabilities for this business combination.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to the effects of interest rate changes as a result of borrowings used to maintain liquidity, fund distributions and to fund the refinancing of our real estate investment portfolio and operations. We may also be exposed to the effects of changes in interest rates as a result of the acquisition and origination of mortgage, mezzanine, bridge and other loans and the acquisition of real estate securities. We are also exposed to the effects of foreign currency changes in Israel with respect to the 4.25% and 3.93% bonds issued to investors in Israel in March 2016 and February 2020, respectively. Our profitability and the value of our investment portfolio may be adversely affected during any period as a result of interest rate changes and foreign currency changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings, prepayment penalties and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. We may manage interest rate risk by maintaining a ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt such that floating rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level. In addition, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate caps, floors, and swap agreements, in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our operations. In order to limit the effects of changes in foreign currency on our operations, we may utilize a variety of foreign currency hedging strategies such as cross currency swaps, forward contracts, puts or calls. When we use these types of derivatives to hedge the risk of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, we may be subject to certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock and the risk that the losses may exceed the amount we invested in the instruments. Additionally, certain of these strategies may cause us to fund a margin account periodically to offset changes in foreign currency rates which may also reduce the funds available for payments to holders of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into two foreign currency collars to hedge against a change in the exchange rate of the Israeli new Shekel versus the U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency collars both expire in September 2020 and has Israeli new Shekels notional amounts of 380.0 million and 418.0 million. The 380.0 million foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.70 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.82. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit us to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 380.0 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $99.5 million to $102.7 million. The 418.0 million foreign currency collar consists of a purchased call option to buy Israeli new Shekels at 3.5875 and a sold put option to sell the Israeli new Shekels at 3.725. The foreign currency collar is intended to permit us to exchange, on the settlement date of the collar, 418.0 million Israeli new Shekels for an amount ranging from $112.2 million to $116.5 million.
As of June 30, 2020, we held 37.8 million Israeli new Shekels and 20.0 million Israeli new Shekels in cash and restricted cash, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, we had bonds outstanding and the related interest payable in the amounts of 848.2 million Israeli new Shekels and 12.0 million Israeli new Shekels, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Based solely on the remeasurement for the six months ended June 30, 2020, if foreign currency exchange rates were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $20.8 million and $25.3 million, respectively, for the same period. The foreign currency transaction income or loss as a result of the change in foreign currency exchange rates does not take into account any gains or losses on our foreign currency collar as a result of such change, which would reduce our foreign currency exposure.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk (continued)

We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes will affect the fair value of our fixed rate instruments. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of our Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A and Series B Debentures was $142.1 million and $56.0 million, respectively, and the outstanding principal balance was $168.0 million and $73.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, excluding the Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A and Series B Debentures, the fair value of our fixed rate debt was $61.7 million and the outstanding principal balance of our fixed rate debt was $57.3 million. The fair value estimate of our Pacific Oak SOR (BVI) Holdings, Ltd. Series A and Series B Debentures were calculated using the quoted bond price as of June 30, 2020 on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange of 86 and 77.85 Israeli new Shekels, respectively. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated as of June 30, 2020. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting changes in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
Conversely, movements in interest rates on variable rate debt would change our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of those instruments. However, changes in required risk premiums would result in changes in the fair value of floating rate instruments. As of June 30, 2020, we had entered into three separate interest rate caps with an aggregate notional of $175.6 million which effectively limits our exposure to increases in one-month LIBOR above certain thresholds. Based on interest rates as of June 30, 2020, if interest rates were 100 basis points higher or lower during the 12 months ending June 30, 2021, interest expense on our variable rate debt would increase or decrease by $4.0 million.
The weighted-average interest rates of our fixed rate debt and variable rate debt as of June 30, 2020 were 4.3% and 2.1%, respectively. The interest rate and weighted-average interest rate represent the actual interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2020 (consisting of the contractual interest rate and the effect of contractual floor rates, if applicable), using interest rate indices as of June 30, 2020 where applicable.
We are exposed to financial market risk with respect to our real estate equity securities. Financial market risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in our real estate equity security prices. Our exposure to changes in real estate equity security prices is a result of our investment in these types of securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, therefore, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market prices of a real estate equity security may result from any number of factors, including perceived changes in the underlying fundamental characteristics of the issuer, the relative price of alternative investments, interest rates, default rates and general market conditions. In addition, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the real estate equity security being sold. We do not currently engage in derivative or other hedging transactions to manage our real estate equity security price risk. As of June 30, 2020, we owned real estate equity securities with a book value of $76.7 million. Based solely on the prices of real estate equity securities as of June 30, 2020, if prices were to increase or decrease by 10%, our net income would increase or decrease by approximately $7.7 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2020, each as filed with the SEC.

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
a)During the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
b)Not applicable.
c)We have adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances.
Pursuant to the share redemption program there are several limitations on our ability to redeem shares:
Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the share redemption program), we may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held the shares for one year.
During any calendar year, we may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
We have no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
During any calendar year, we may redeem only the number of shares that we can purchase with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under the our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided, however, that this limit may be increased or decreased by us upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. To the extent that we redeem less than the number of shares that we can purchase in any calendar year with the amount of net proceeds from the sale of shares under our dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year plus any additional funds approved by us, such excess capacity to redeem shares during any calendar year shall be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares during the subsequent calendar year. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once we have received requests for redemptions, whether in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence”, or otherwise, that if honored, and when combined with all prior redemptions made during the calendar year, would result in the amount of remaining funds available for the redemption of additional shares in such calendar year being $1.0 million or less, the last $1.0 million of available funds shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence.” To the extent that, in the last month of any calendar year, the amount of redemption requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” is less than the amount of available funds reserved for such redemptions in accordance with the previous sentence, any excess funds may be used to redeem shares not in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability or “determination of incompetence” during such month.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds (Continued)
We may not redeem more than $3.0 million of shares in a given quarter (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”). To the extent that, in a given fiscal quarter, we redeem less than the sum of (a) $3.0 million of shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) and (b) any excess capacity carried over to such fiscal quarter from a prior fiscal quarter as described below, any remaining excess capacity to redeem shares in such fiscal quarter will be added to our capacity to otherwise redeem shares (excluding shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”) during succeeding fiscal quarter. We may increase or decrease this limit upon ten business days’ notice to stockholders.
We may amend, suspend or terminate the program upon ten business days’ notice to our stockholders. We may provide notice to our stockholders by including such information in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or by a separate mailing to our stockholders.
Effective beginning with the month of February 2020, we have suspended (a) redemptions requested under the share redemption program in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence”, until we and POSOR II file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the proposed Merger, and (b) all other redemptions under the share redemption program until after the Merger closes. The Form S-4 was filed on June 15, 2020 with the SEC.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we fulfilled redemption requests eligible for redemption under our share redemption program and received in good order and funded redemptions under our share redemption program with the net proceeds from our dividend reinvestment plan and cash on hand. We redeemed shares pursuant to our share redemption program as follows:

_____________________
(1) On December 17, 2019, our board of directors approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $10.63. The change in the redemption price became effective for the December 2019 redemption date and is effective until the estimated value per share is updated. We expect to update our estimated value per share no later than December 2020.
(2) We limit the dollar value of shares that may be redeemed under the program as described above. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we redeemed $0.8 million of common stock under the program, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the June 2020 redemption date, except for the $60.3 million of shares in connection with redemption requests not made upon a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” which redemption requests will be fulfilled subject to the limitations described above. Based on the Eleventh SRP, we have $6,000 available for redemptions in the remainder of 2020, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a stockholders’ death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence,” subject to the limitations described above.
