1. | Organization and Basis of Presentation |
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed primarily to own and operate multifamily properties and, to a lesser extent, own and operate student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and strategically located, well leased class A office buildings, all in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of our business strategy, we may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and we may make real estate related loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the development of multifamily communities. As a secondary strategy, we may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loans secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest a lesser portion of our assets in other real estate related investments, including other income-producing property types, senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loans secured by interests in other income-producing property types, membership or partnership interests in other income-producing property types as determined by our manager as appropriate for us. At December 31, 2018, the Company was the approximate 97.9% owner of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., the Company's operating partnership. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. The Company is externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party (see Note 6).
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 45,335,043 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 98.2% owner of the Operating Partnership at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 856,409 at September 30, 2019 and represented Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class A OP Units. The Class A OP Units are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Operating Partnership's choice of either cash or Common Stock. In the case of cash, the value is determined based upon the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock.
The Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. The Company has determined the Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity, or VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is involved with other VIEs, such as through its investments in mortgage pools from the Freddie Mac K Program, as discussed in Note 4. New Market Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Office Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of office buildings. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities. Each of these entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not contain all the disclosures required by GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of the 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 differ from those estimates. Amounts are presented in thousands where indicated.
As permitted by the practical expedient within ASC 842, Leases, the Company has elected to report the lease component and non-lease components as one single component within the line entitled Rental Revenues on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reimbursement revenue was previously presented in the Company’s Other Property Revenues line item. For presentation purposes, the Company has reclassified its revenue from reimbursements from the Other Property Revenues line into the Rental Revenues line for all periods presented.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity, or “VIE” is an entity that lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through the (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses whether it meets the power and benefits criteria and in performing this analysis, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the Company’s ability to control or significantly influence key decisions of the VIE and the obligation or likelihood for the Company to fund operating losses of the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, may involve significant judgment, including the determination of which activities most significantly affect the entities’ performance, and estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by the VIE. If the Company determines that it meets both the power and benefits criteria of the VIE, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company consolidates the entire VIE entity in its consolidated financial statements. For those VIEs which arise from the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities and which the Company consolidates, it elects the fair value option, under which the assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIE are carried at fair value. The periodic changes in fair value are included in the earnings of the Company and are reported on the line entitled Change in fair value of net assets of consolidated VIE from mortgage-backed pool on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 4 for discussion related to the Company’s investments in subordinate tranches of collateralized mortgage-backed pools and Note 15 for fair value disclosures related to a consolidated VIE related to these investments.
Real Estate Loans
The Company carries its investments in real estate loans at amortized cost with assessments made for possible loan loss allowances in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for possible loan loss allowances, the fair value result of the loan or its collateral is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, an allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. The balances of real estate loans presented on the consolidated balance sheets consist of drawn amounts on the loans, net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and loan loss allowances.
Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans or notes. In the event that a loan or note is refinanced with the proceeds of another loan issued by the Company, any unamortized loan fee revenue from the first loan will be recognized as interest revenue at the date of refinancing. Loan origination fees applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income using the effective interest rate method. The accrual of interest on all these instruments ceases when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. Certain real estate loan assets include limited purchase options and either exit fees or additional amounts of accrued interest. Exit fees or accrued interest due will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project if the Company purchases the subject property. Additional accrued interest becomes due in cash to the Company on the earliest to occur of: (i) the maturity of the loan, (ii) any uncured event of default as defined in the associated loan agreement, (iii) the sale of the project or the refinancing of the loan (other than a refinancing loan by the Company or one of its affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan.
Evaluations for the possible need for loan loss allowances are performed for each real estate loan investment at least quarterly. Loan loss allowances are needed when it is deemed probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan. Depending upon the circumstances and significance of risk related to the collectability of the loan, management may determine that (i) the loan should be accounted for as a non-accrual loan because recovery of all contractual amounts due are deemed improbable and that any amounts subsequently received will be used to reduce the loan’s principal balance, (ii) in the event of a modification to the loan granted by the Company as a concession to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty, result in the need to apply troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting guidance, and/or (iii) an allowance for loan loss is required for the loan based upon the value of the underlying collateral and the Company’s evaluation of a possible shortfall with regards to the loan’s repayment based upon an estimated sales price, additional costs (if necessary), estimated selling costs, and amounts due to all lenders.
In connection with the surveillance review process, the Company’s real estate loan investments are assigned an internal risk rating. The internal risk ratings are based on the loan’s current status as compared to underwriting for certain metrics such as total expected construction cost if overruns are noted, construction completion timing if there are delays, current cap rates within the
11
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
MSA, leasing status, rental rates, net operating income, expected free cash flow, and other factors management deems important related to the ultimate collectability of the loan. The final internal risk ratings are influenced by other quantitative and qualitative factors that can result in an adjustment to the ratings. Each loan is given an internal risk rating from “A” to “D”. Loans rated an “A” meet all present contractual obligations and there are no indicators which would cause concern for the borrower’s ability to meet all present contractual obligations. Loans rated a “B” meet all present contractual obligations, but exhibited at least one indication of a negative variation from the underwriting for the loan and/or project. Loans rated a “C” exhibit some weakness that deserves management’s close attention and if uncorrected, may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. For these loans, management performs analyses to verify the borrower’s ability to meet all present contractual obligations, including obtaining an appraisal of the underlying collateral for the loan. Based on the available collateral to satisfy the Company’s outstanding principal and interest contractually due, we may provide for an allowance, move the loan to non-accrual status for future interest recognition or continue monitoring the loan. For loans rated a “D”, the collection of all contractual principal and interest is improbable and management has determined to account for the loan as a non-accrual loan and, if appropriate under the circumstances record a loan loss allowance.
The Company's real estate loan investments are collateralized by real estate development projects and secured further by guaranties of repayment from one or more of the borrowers. The Company's lines of credit receivable are typically only collateralized by personal guaranties, but occasionally may be cross-collateralized by interests in other real estate projects. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan, and/or (iii) the property’s liquidation value. The Company also evaluates the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub‑market in which the borrower operates are considered. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by management, utilizing various data sources, including periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, capitalization and discount rates and site inspections.
See the Revenue Recognition section of this Note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.
Purchase Option Terminations
The Company will occasionally receive a purchase option on the underlying property in conjunction with extending a real estate loan investment to the developer of the property. The purchase option is often at a discount to the to-be-agreed-upon market value of the property, once stabilized. If the Company elects not to exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, it may negotiate to sell the purchase option back to the developer and receive a termination fee in consideration. The amount of the termination fee is accounted for as additional interest on the real estate loan investment and is recognized as interest revenue utilizing the effective interest method over the period beginning from the date of election until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property.
Revenue Recognition
Multifamily communities and student housing properties
Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents of the Company's multifamily communities, which is over the terms of the rental agreements, typically of 9 to 15 months’ duration. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and recognizes revenue from residents when collectability is deemed probable, in accordance with ASC 842-30-25-12. The Company disclosed bad debt expense within the Property Operating and Maintenance expense line item in prior periods, but recorded the reduction in revenue against Rental Revenues and Other Property Revenues, as applicable, for the current period.
The Company evaluated the various ancillary revenues within its multifamily leases, including resident utility reimbursements. Having met the criteria that (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and associated non-lease components are the same and (ii) that the lease component, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected the practical expedient under Lease Accounting, ASC 842, paragraph 10-15-42A, to elect reporting the lease component and non-lease components as one single component under Rental Revenues recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Lease components such as pet rental fees and parking rental fees as well as non-lease components such as utility reimbursements were previously presented in the Company’s Other Property Revenues line item. For presentation purposes, the Company has reclassified
12
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
its revenue from these revenue sources into Rental Revenues for all periods presented, for comparability. Revenue from utility reimbursements are considered variable lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
Grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties
Our retail leases have original lease terms which generally range from three to seven years for spaces under 5,000 square feet and from 10 to 20 years for spaces over 10,000 square feet. Anchor leases generally contain renewal options for one or more additional periods whereas in-line tenant leases may or may not have renewal options. With the exception of anchor leases, the leases generally contain contractual increases in base rent rates over the lease term and the base rent rates for renewal periods are generally based upon the rental rate for the primary term, which may be adjusted for inflation or market conditions. Anchor leases generally do not contain contractual increases in base rent rates over the lease term and the renewal periods. Our leases generally provide for the payment of fixed monthly rentals and may also provide for the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant’s gross sales above a certain threshold level (“percentage rent”). Our leases also generally include tenant reimbursements for common area expenses, insurance, and real estate taxes. Utilities are generally paid by tenants either directly through separate meters or through payment of tenant reimbursements. The foregoing general description of the characteristics of the leases in our centers is not intended to describe all leases and material variations in lease terms may exist.
Our office building leases have original lease terms which generally range from 5 to 15 years and generally contain contractual, annual base rental rate escalations ranging from 2% to 3%. These leases may be structured as gross where the tenant’s base rental rate is all inclusive and there is no additional obligation to reimburse building operating expenses, net or NNN where in addition to base rent the tenant is also responsible for its pro rata share of reimbursable building operating expenses, or modified gross where in addition to base rent the tenant is also responsible for its pro rata share of reimbursable building operating expense increases over a base year amount (typically calculated as the actual reimbursable operating expenses in year one of the original lease term).
Base rental revenue from tenants' operating leases is a lease component revenue in the Company's grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue based on "percentage rent" provisions that provide for additional rents that become due upon achievement of specified sales revenue targets (as specified in each lease agreement) is recognized only after the tenant exceeds its specified sales revenue target. Revenue from reimbursements of the tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, or CAM, costs represent non-lease component revenue. Having met the criteria that (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and associated non-lease components are the same and (ii) that the lease component, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 842, Leases, paragraph 10-15-42A, to elect reporting the lease component and non-lease components as one single component under Rental Revenues recognized in accordance with ASC 842. Reimbursement revenue and percentage rent were previously presented in the Company’s Other Property Revenues line item. For presentation purposes, the Company has reclassified its revenue from reimbursements into Rental Revenues for all periods presented, for comparability. Revenue from reimbursements are considered variable lease payments and are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. The Company does not record income and offsetting expense for certain variable costs paid directly to third parties by lessees on behalf of lessors.
Non-lease components which do not qualify under the practical expedient primarily include percentage rent, lease termination income and other ancillary revenue (e.g. storage revenue, license fees, late fees, tenant billbacks). These items are recorded under Other property revenues. Lease termination revenues are recognized ratably over the revised remaining lease term after giving effect to the termination notice or when tenant vacates and the Company has no further obligations under the lease. Rents and tenant reimbursements collected in advance are recorded as prepaid rent within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluated the collectability of the tenant receivable related to rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and straight-line rent receivables, which represent the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental revenue on a straight-line basis, by taking into consideration the Company's historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and remaining lease terms. The Company evaluates the collectability of these amounts and recognizes revenue related to tenants where collectability is deemed probable, in accordance with ASC 842-30-25-12. The Company previously recorded bad debt expense within the Property operating and maintenance expense line item, and upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, began recording amounts not deemed probable of collection as a reduction of rental revenues and other property revenues, as applicable.
The Company may provide grocery-anchored shopping center and office building tenants an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold
13
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. When the Company is the owner of the leasehold improvements, recognition of rental revenue commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements. However, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date is the date the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements. For our office properties, if the improvement is deemed to be a “landlord asset,” and the tenant funded the tenant improvements, the cost is amortized over the term of the underlying lease with a corresponding recognition of rental revenues. In order to qualify as a landlord asset, the specifics of the tenant’s assets are reviewed, including the Company's approval of the tenant’s detailed expenditures, whether such assets may be usable by other future tenants, whether the Company has consent to alter or remove the assets from the premises and generally remain the Company's property at the end of the lease.
Gains on sales of real estate assets
The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate based on the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the distinct asset, including the carrying amount of any liabilities relieved or assumed by the purchasing counterparty and net of disposition expenses.
Lessee accounting
The Company has evaluated its leases for which it is the lessee to determine the value of any right of use assets and related lease liabilities. The Company has three ground leases related to our office and grocery-anchored shopping center assets, one of which had been recorded at fair value on the Company's balance sheet at acquisition due to a purchase option the Company deemed probable of exercising. These ground leases generally have extended terms (e.g. over 20 years with multiple renewal options) and generally have base rent with CPI-based increases. The Company evaluated its renewal option periods in quantifying its asset and liability related to these ground leases. In determining the value of its right of use asset and lease liability, the Company used discount rates comparable to recent loan rates obtained on comparative properties within its portfolio. The Company’s right of use asset and related lease liability in accordance with ASC 842-20-30 related to these ground leases are recorded within the Tenant Receivables and Other Assets and the Security Deposits and Other Liabilities line items of the balance sheet, respectively. The Company is also the lessee of furniture and equipment leases such as office equipment, which generally are three to five years with minimal rent increases. The Company determined that the related right of use asset and lease liability for its furniture and equipment leases were immaterial.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Standard | Description | Date of Adoption | Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements |
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance | |||
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements | ASU 2016-02 requires a lessor to separate lease components from non-lease components, such as maintenance services or other activities that transfer a good or service to our residents and tenants in a contract. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 which allowed for a practical expedient for lessors to elect, by class of underlying assets, to not separate lease and non-lease components if both (1) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component(s) and related lease component and (2) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Additional practical expedients were also provided for under ASU 2018-11 related to expired or existing leases. | January 1, 2019 | Having met the criteria that (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease component and associated non-lease components are the same and (ii) that the lease component, if accounted for separately would be classified as an operating lease, the Company has elected the practical expedient within ASU 2018-11, as codified under ASC 842-10-15-42A, to elect reporting the lease component and non-lease components as one single component under Rental Revenues recognized in accordance with ASC 842. This change had no material effect on the timing of revenue recognition. The Company has also elected to implement the package of practical expedients provided within ASU 2018-11, as codified under ASC 842-10-65-1(f), which allows the Company not to reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, its lease classification, and any related initial direct costs. |
ASU 2018-20, Leases (ASC 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors | ASU 2018-20 eliminates the requirement to record income and offsetting expense for certain variable costs paid for by lessees on behalf of lessors. | January 1, 2019 | The Company no longer records income and expense for property taxes paid directly to the taxing authority by a lessee based on this standard. The effect is a reduction of other property revenues and of property tax expense, with no effect upon net income/loss. |
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted | |||
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326) | ASU 2016-03 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, which are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the existing incurred loss model with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost, and require entities to record credit allowances for financial assets rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than temporary impairment model. | January 1, 2020 | We are currently evaluating the potential impacts of the new guidance and proposed amendments to the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. The new guidance specifically excludes financial assets measured at fair value through net income. The Company elected the fair value option for its Freddie Mac K Program investments. Therefore, we expect the impact of the new guidance on accounting for financial assets will be limited to our real estate investment loans and notes and revolving lines of credit. We expect to implement this new guidance using the modified retrospective basis by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2020. |

At September 30, 2019, the Company had recorded acquired gross intangible assets of $288.5 million, accumulated amortization of $140.9 million, gross intangible liabilities of $74.7 million and accumulated amortization of $21.7 million. Net intangible assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2019 will be amortized over the weighted average remaining amortization periods of approximately 7.6 and 9.4 years, respectively.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had restricted cash of approximately $17.6 million that was contractually restricted to fund capital expenditures and other property-level commitments such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Purchase Options
In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, the Company will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If the Company determines that it does not wish to acquire the property, it has the right to sell its purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount.
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company terminated its purchase options on the Sanibel Straights, Newbergh, Wiregrass and Cameron Square multifamily communities and the Solis Kennesaw student housing property, all of which are partially supported by real estate loan investments held by the Company. In exchange, the Company will receive termination fees aggregating approximately $8.3 million from the developers. These fees are treated as additional interest revenue and are amortized over the period ending with the earlier of (i) the sale of the underlying property and (ii) the maturity of the real estate loans. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded approximately $3.4 million of interest revenue related to these 2019 purchase option terminations in addition to approximately $3.5 million of interest revenue for the 464 Bishop and Haven49 purchase options that terminated in the second quarter 2018.

The Company's Palisades real estate loan investment was subject to a loan participation agreement with an unaffiliated third party, under which the syndicate was to fund approximately 25% of the loan commitment amount and collectively receive approximately 25% of interest payments, returns of principal and purchase option discount (if applicable). On March 13, 2019, the Company repurchased the loan participant's 25% balance in the loan from the loan participant and at September 30, 2019, carried the entire loan balance on its consolidated balance sheet without reflection of any liability to any third party.
The Company's real estate loan investments are collateralized by 100% of the membership interests of the underlying project entity, and, where considered necessary, by unconditional joint and several repayment guaranties and performance guaranties by the principal(s) of the borrowers. These guaranties generally remain in effect until the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement. Prepayment of the real estate loans are permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company's consent.
Management monitors the credit quality of the obligors under each of the Company's real estate loans by tracking the timeliness of scheduled interest and principal payments relative to the due dates as specified in the loan documents, as well as draw requests on the loans relative to the project budgets. In addition, management monitors the actual progress of development and construction relative to the construction plan, as well as local, regional and national economic conditions that may bear on our current and target markets. The credit quality of the Company’s borrowers is primarily based on their payment history on an individual loan basis, and the Company assigns risk ratings to its real estate loans and notes receivable in credit quality categories as described in Note 2.
The Company continues to monitor each loan and note receivable for potential deterioration of risk ratings and can make no assurances that economic or industry conditions or other circumstances will not lead to future loan loss allowances.

On November 20, 2018, the borrower on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit defaulted on the loan, triggering the accrual of an additional 10% default interest rate, which is incremental to the original 8% current interest rate. The amount of default interest recorded through September 30, 2019 was approximately $880,000. Under the terms of the loan, amounts collected are applied first to any legal costs incurred by the Company to collect amounts due on the loan; second, to pay any accrued default and current interest on the loan; and third, to repay the principal amount owed.
Based on the negotiated agreement between the Company and the borrowers, on March 27, 2019, the Company received the membership interests of the Haven49 student housing project in exchange for the complete settlement of the related Haven49 loans, which include the Haven Campus Communities Charlotte Member, LLC line of credit, the Haven49 mezzanine loan and the Haven49 member loan. Additionally, under the same agreement, the Company received payouts and credits totaling approximately $3.8 million towards the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit. These amounts were applied in accordance with the terms of the line of credit. The Company retains a pledge of a 49.49% interest in an unrelated shopping center located in Atlanta, Georgia as collateral on the Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit, as well as personal guaranties of repayment from the principals of the borrower.
In January 2019 the Company filed a lawsuit to collect the amounts owed under the line of credit it provided to Haven Campus Communities, LLC. In September 2019, Haven Campus Communities, LLC answered the lawsuit and filed counterclaims against the Company and its affiliates. At this time, the case is in the early stages of discovery, so the Company is unable to make any estimates on timing or amounts that may be collected by the Company on its Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit.

The Company extends loans for purposes such as to partially finance the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk and the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, any of which can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project.
The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.
The Company has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except normal lender rights, which are subordinate to the rights of the senior lenders on the projects. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities and therefore it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of September 30, 2019 of approximately $383.2 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $457.9 million, which includes approximately $74.7 million of loan committed amounts not yet funded.
The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. For each loan, the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.
The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the 464 Bishop, Dawsonville Marketplace, Falls at Forsyth, Newbergh, Newbergh Capital, Solis Kennesaw, Solis Kennesaw Capital, Solis Kennesaw II, 8West and Kennesaw Crossing real estate loan investments, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in or near Atlanta, Georgia. The drawn amount of these loans as of September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $104.7 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $134.2 million) and in the event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors, would subject the Company to a total possible loss of the drawn amount.
Freddie Mac K Program investments
On May 23, 2018, the Company purchased a subordinate tranche of Series 2018-ML04, a pool of 20 multifamily mortgages with a total pool size of approximately $276.3 million, from Freddie Mac. The purchase price of the subordinate tranche was approximately $4.7 million and has a weighted average maturity of approximately 16 years, at which time the Company will collect the face value of its tranche of $27.6 million. The yield to maturity of the subordinate tranche is expected to be approximately 11.5% per annum.

On March 28, 2019, the Company purchased a subordinate tranche of Series 2019-ML05, a pool of 21 multifamily mortgages with a total pool size of approximately $295.7 million, from Freddie Mac. The Company's tranche of the 2019-ML05 pool pays monthly interest of approximately $103,000. The purchase price of the subordinate tranche was approximately $18.4 million and has a weighted average maturity of approximately 16.1 years, at which time the Company will collect the face value of its tranche of $29.6 million. The yield to maturity of the subordinate tranche is expected to be approximately 8.9% per annum.
The Company has evaluated the structure of the investments under the VIE rules and has determined that, due to the Company's position as directing certificate holder of the two mortgage pools, it is in the position most able to influence the financial performance of the trusts. As the subordinate tranche holder, the Company also holds the first loss position of the mortgage pools. As such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of both trusts in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from the combined mortgage pools from the Freddie Mac K program is approximately $24.4 million. The Company has no recourse liability to either the creditors or other beneficial interest holders of either investment.
Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities investments
In December 2018, the Company began investing in Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities representing undivided (or “pass-through”) beneficial interests in specified pools of fixed-rate mortgage loans. The investments are classified as trading securities. On December 20, 2018, the Company sold its entire position of a pool with associated premium amounts totaling $41.1 million. At December 31, 2018, the Company held a receivable related to this sale transaction of $41.2 million, which was collected upon the settlement of the transaction in January 2019.
5. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings
At September 30, 2019, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:
• | an offering of a maximum of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock (the "$1.5 Billion Unit Offering"); |

(1) These offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing.
(2) The $300 million 2016 Shelf Offering expired in second quarter 2019, and therefore all remaining deferred offering costs were reclassified as reductions of stockholder's equity.
(3) On April 25, 2019, the Company's 2019 Shelf Registration Statement was declared effective.
(4) On September 27, 2019, the Company's Series A1/M1 Registration Statement was declared effective.
Aggregate offering expenses of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and of the mShares Offering, including dealer manager fees, are each individually capped at 11.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the two offerings. The Company will reimburse its Manager up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of such offerings for all organization and offering expenses that are incurred by the Manager. However, upon approval by the conflicts committee of the board of directors, the Company may reimburse its Manager for any such organization and offering expenses incurred above the 1.5% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. Dealer manager fees for both offerings and sales commissions for the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering are not reimbursable.
Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering
On September 27, 2019, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-233576) (the “Series A1/M1 Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC. Shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series M1 Preferred Stock issued under the Series A1/M1 Registration Statement are each offered at a price of $1,000 per share, subject to adjustment under certain conditions.
Each share of Series A1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and carries a cumulative annual 6% dividend of the stated per share value of $1,000, payable monthly as declared by the Company’s board of directors. Dividends begin accruing on the date of issuance. The redemption schedule of the Series A1 Preferred Stock allows redemptions at the option of the holder from the date of issuance through the first year subject to a 13% redemption fee. After year one, the redemption fee decreases to 10%, after year two the redemption fee decreases to 5% and after year three there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of the redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion.

Each share of Series M1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and carries a cumulative annual dividend beginning at 6.1% of the stated per share value of $1,000, payable monthly as declared by the Company’s board of directors. The annual dividend rate increases by 0.1% on each anniversary of the issuance date up to a maximum annual dividend rate of 7.1%. Dividends begin accruing on the date of issuance. The redemption schedule of the Preferred Stock allows redemptions at the option of the holder from the date of issuance of the Series M1 Preferred Stock through the first year at the stated value per share minus dividends paid for the three most previous dividend declaration dates. After year one, the shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at 100% of the stated value per share. Any redeemed shares of Series M1 Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion.
Both the Series A1 Preferred Stock and the Series M1 Preferred Stock are callable by the Company after the second anniversary of the date of original issuance at 100% of the stated value per share.
Aggregate offering expenses of the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees for the Series A1 Preferred Stock and only dealer manager fees for the Series M1 Preferred Stock, are each individually capped at 12.0% of aggregate gross proceeds of the offering. The Company will reimburse its Manager up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of such offerings for all organization and offering expenses that are incurred by the Manager. However, upon approval by the conflicts committee of the board of directors, the Company may reimburse its Manager for any such organization and offering expenses incurred above the 2.0% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. Dealer manager fees and sales commissions for the Series A1/M1 Preferred Stock Offering are not reimbursable.
The shares are being offered by Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, an affiliate of the Company, on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. The Company intends to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the Series A1/M1 Registration Statement in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.
6. Related Party Transactions
On April 16, 2018, John A. Williams, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, passed away. The Company's Haven 12 real estate loan investment and Haven Campus Communities LLC line of credit are both supported in part by a guaranty of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., John A. Williams' son. Because the terms of these loans were negotiated and agreed upon while John A. Williams was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, these instruments will continue to be reported as related party transactions until the loans are repaid. The Company named Daniel M. DuPree as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Leonard A. Silverstein was named Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and continues as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer.
On March 27, 2019, the Company's Haven49 and Haven49 Member real estate loan investments and the Haven Campus Communities Charlotte Member LLC line of credit were deemed satisfied in full in connection with the Company's acceptance of the borrowers' membership interests in the underlying Haven49 project.
Messrs. DuPree and Silverstein are executive directors of NELL Partners, Inc., which controls the Manager. Mr. DuPree is the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Silverstein is the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Manager.
The Company's Wiregrass and Wiregrass Capital real estate loan investments are partially financing the development of a multifamily community in Tampa, Florida by the Altman Companies. Timothy A. Peterson is a member of management of the Altman Companies as well as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Wiregrass loans therefore qualify as related party transactions.

The Manager may, in its discretion, waive some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees in the current period for properties owned by the Company. The waived fees may become earned by the Manager as an additional disposition fee only in the event of a sales transaction, and whereby the Company’s capital contributions for the property being sold exceed a 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle. A cumulative total of approximately $21.2 million of combined asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2019 have been waived by the Manager. A total of $19.7 million remaining waived fees could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.
In addition to property management fees, the Company incurred the following reimbursable on-site personnel salary and related benefits expenses at the properties, which are listed on the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

respectively and Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, was reimbursed $1,022,855 and $1,080,660 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. These costs are recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the 2019 Preferred Stock Offering, $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, mShares Offering or the 2019 Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity.
The Company pays its Manager leasing commission fees for office and retail leases based on varying rates and conditions.
The Company holds a promissory note in the amount of approximately $650,000 due from Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, or PCMS, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NELL Partners.
The Company has extended a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing amount of $22.0 million to its Manager.
Of the Company’s $27.9 million accrued interest receivable on real estate loans balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, approximately $1.2 million relates to the Haven 12 real estate loan investment, which is to a related party. Interest receivable of approximately $375,000 on its Haven Campus Communities, LLC line of credit is included in the tenant receivables and other assets line.
7. Dividends and Distributions
The Company declares and pays monthly cash dividend distributions in the amount of $5.00 per share per month on its Series A Preferred Stock; on the Company's mShares, dividends accrue and are paid on an escalating scale of $4.79 per month in the first year following share issuance, increasing each year to $6.25 per month in year eight and beyond.

There were no grants of Class B OP Units for 2019.
The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the 2018 Class B OP Unit awards were:
Grant dates | 1/2/2018 | |||
Stock price | $ | 20.19 | ||
Dividend yield | 4.95 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 25.70 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 2.71 | % | ||
Number of Units granted: | ||||
One year vesting period | 171,988 | |||
Three year vesting period | 84,099 | |||

Calculated fair value per Unit | $ | 16.66 | ||
Total fair value of Units | $ | 4,266,409 | ||
Target market threshold increase | $ | 5,660,580 |
The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant dates and the projected future quarterly dividend payments per share of $0.25 for the 2018 awards.
For the 2018 awards, the Company's own stock price history was utilized as the basis for deriving the expected volatility assumption.
The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant date.
Since the Class B OP Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, has granted restricted stock units, or RSUs, to certain employees of affiliates of the Company, as shown in the following table:
Grant date | 1/2/2019 | 1/2/2018 | 1/3/2017 | ||||||||

Total fair value of RSU grant | $ | 298,975 | $ | 345,195 | $ | 320,648 |
The RSUs vest in three equal consecutive one-year tranches from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested RSUs become earned RSUs and automatically convert into Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. Vested RSUs may become Earned RSUs on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested RSUs that do not become Earned RSUs on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested RSUs become Earned RSUs or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service due to an event other than as a result of a qualified event, which is generally the death or disability of the holder. Continuous service through the final valuation date is required for the Vested RSUs to qualify to become fully Earned RSUs.
Because RSUs are valued using the identical market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, the same valuation assumptions per RSU were utilized to calculate the total fair values of the RSUs. The total fair value amounts pertaining to grants of RSUs, net of forfeitures, are amortized as compensation expense over the three one-year periods ending on the three successive anniversaries of the grant dates.

The Company has placed an interest rate cap on the variable rate mortgage on its Avenues at Creekside multifamily community. Under guidance provided by ASC 815-10, this interest rate cap is a derivative, that is embedded in its debt host. Because the interest rate cap is deemed to be clearly and closely related to its debt host, bifurcation and fair value accounting treatment is not required.
The mortgage note secured by our Independence Square property is a seven year term with an anticipated repayment date of September 1, 2022. If the Company elects not to pay its principal balance at the anticipated repayment date, the term will be extended for an additional five years, maturing on September 1, 2027. The interest rate from September 1, 2022 to September 1, 2027 will be the greater of (i) the Initial Interest Rate of 3.93% plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the seven year U.S. treasury security rate plus approximately 400 basis points.
As of September 30, 2019, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 9.6 years. Our mortgage notes have maturity dates between October 1, 2019 and June 1, 2054.
Credit Facility
The Company has a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. On March 23, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $200 million pursuant to an accordion feature. The accordion feature
permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. On December 12, 2018, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,
37
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
September 30, 2019
(unaudited)
was amended to extend the maturity to December 12, 2021, with an option to extend the maturity date to December 12, 2022, subject to certain conditions described therein. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 5.53% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit to 0.25% or 0.30% per annum, depending upon the Company’s outstanding Credit Facility balance.
On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into a $11.0 million interim term loan with KeyBank, or the Interim Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Anderson Central, a grocery-anchored shopping center located in Anderson, South Carolina. The Interim Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum until it was repaid and extinguished during the first quarter of 2018.
The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amount of dividends that may be paid out by the Company is restricted to a maximum of 95% of AFFO for the trailing four quarters without the lender's consent; solely for purposes of this covenant, AFFO is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, plus reserves for capital expenditures, less normally recurring capital expenditures, less consolidated interest expense.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Line of Credit, as shown in the following table:
Covenant (1) | Requirement | Result | ||
Net worth | Minimum $1.8 billion | (2) | $1.9 billion | |
Debt yield | Minimum 8.25% | 9.99% | ||
Payout ratio | Maximum 95% | (3) | 93.9% | |
Total leverage ratio | Maximum 65% | 56.8% | ||
Debt service coverage ratio | Minimum 1.50x | 1.75x |
(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Revolving Line of Credit.
(2) Minimum of $686.9 million plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity offering, which totaled approximately $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2019.
(3) Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was approximately $154.7 million.
Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment and subsequent amendments of the Credit Facility are amortized utilizing the straight line method over the life of the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2019, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the Credit Facility were approximately $1.3 million, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 2.3 years. Loan fees and closing costs for the mortgage debt on the Company's properties are amortized utilizing the effective interest rate method over the lives of the loans.
Acquisition Facility
On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The purpose of the Acquisition Facility is to finance acquisitions of multifamily communities and student housing communities. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility may be increased at the Company's request up to $300 million at any time prior to March 1, 2021. On March 25, 2019, the maximum borrowing capacity was decreased to $90 million by agreement between the Company and KeyBank.The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein. At September 30, 2019, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the establishment of the Acquisition Facility were approximately $0.2 million, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 2.4 years.

10. Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders. For the Company's tax years prior to its REIT election year, its operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status; therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a payment guaranty in support of its Manager's eleven-year office lease, which began on October 9, 2014. As of September 30, 2019, the amount guarantied by the Company was $5.5 million and is reduced by $619,304 per lease year over the term of the lease.
39
Certain officers and employees of the Manager have been assigned company credit cards. As of September 30, 2019, the Company guarantied up to $640,000 on these credit cards.
The Company is otherwise currently subject to neither any known material commitments or contingencies from its business operations, nor any material known or threatened litigation.
A total of approximately $21.2 million of asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2019 have been waived by the Manager. The waived fees are converted at the time of waiver into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manager as an additional disposition fee only in the event of a sales transaction, and whereby the Company’s capital contributions for the property being sold exceed a 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle. As of September 30, 2019, a total of $19.7 million remaining waived fees could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had unfunded balances on its real estate loan portfolio of approximately $74.7 million.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had unfunded contractual commitments for tenant, leasing, and capital improvements of approximately $15.1 million.
12. Operating Leases
The Company’s grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms vary. The future minimum rental income due under the remaining terms of the Company's operating leases in place, excluding tenant reimbursements of operating expenses and real estate taxes and additional percentage rent based on tenants’ sales volumes, as of September 30, 2019, is presented below, assuming that all leases which expire are not renewed and tenant renewal options are not exercised (excludes rental income due from tenants of multifamily communities, which are of lease terms of twelve months or less):

The Company’s grocery-anchored shopping centers are geographically concentrated within the Sunbelt and Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company’s retail tenant base primarily consists of national and regional supermarkets, consumer services, healthcare providers, and restaurants. Our grocery anchor tenants comprise approximately 44.9% of our gross leasable area. Our
40
credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail/grocery real estate sector. Amounts required as security deposits vary depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenant, with the exception of our grocer anchor tenants, who generally are not required to provide security deposits. Exposure to credit risk is limited to the extent that tenant receivables exceed security deposits. Security deposits related to tenant leases are included in security deposits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s approximately 2.9 million square foot office portfolio was 97% leased to a predominantly investment grade credit (or investment grade equivalent) tenant roster. For non-credit tenants, our leases typically require a security deposit or letter of credit, which limits worst case collection exposure to amounts in excess of those protections. Additionally, some credit tenant leases will include credit enhancement provisions that require a security deposit or letter of credit in the event of a rating downgrade. We conduct thorough credit analyses not only for leasing activities within our existing portfolio but also for major tenants in properties we are considering acquiring.
13. Segment Information
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company's business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across five distinct segments: multifamily communities, student housing properties, real estate related financing, New Market Properties and Preferred Office Properties.
Multifamily Communities - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned residential multifamily communities
Student Housing Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned student housing properties.
Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of real estate loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets. Excluded from the financing segment are consolidated assets of VIEs and financial results of the Company's Dawson Marketplace grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loan, which are included in the New Market Properties segment.
New Market Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers, which are owned by New Market Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as the financial results from the Company's grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loans.
Preferred Office Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of office buildings.
The CODM monitors net operating income (“NOI”) on a segment and a consolidated basis as a key performance measure for its operating segments. NOI is a non-GAAP measure that is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate assets plus interest income from its loan portfolio less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses NOI as a measure of operating performance because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition expenses, and other expenses generally incurred at the corporate level.
The following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net income (loss). The assets attributable to 'Other' primarily consist of deferred offering costs recorded but not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity and cash balances at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has deferred revenue in an aggregate amount of $47 million in connection with such improvements. The remaining balance to be recognized is approximately $40.7 million which is included in the deferred revenues line on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2019. These total costs will be amortized over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the individual lease terms. The Company recorded non-cash revenue of approximately $2.8 million and $1.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

(A) The Company's outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (856 and 1,068 Units at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) contain rights to distributions in the same amount per unit as for dividends declared on the Company's Common Stock. The impact of the Class A Unit distributions on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Class A Units based on dividends declared and the Class A Units' participation rights in undistributed earnings.
(B) The Company’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly. The Company had 1,932 and 1,508 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company's shares of Series M preferred stock, or mShares, accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 5.75% in year one to 7.50% in year eight and thereafter. The Company had 90 and 37 mShares outstanding at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(C) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (20 and 19 shares of Common Stock at September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company's unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities, the dividends declared for that period are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock.
(D) Potential dilution from (i) warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Series A Preferred Stock offerings that are potentially exercisable into 29,098 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 93 Class B Units; (iii) 20 shares of unvested restricted common stock; and (iv) 46,535 outstanding Restricted Stock Units are excluded from the diluted shares calculations because the effect was antidilutive. Class A Units were excluded from the denominator because earnings were allocated to non-controlling interests in the calculation of the numerator.

15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature.
The following tables provide estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's real estate loans include accrued interest receivable from additional interest or exit fee provisions and are presented net of deferred loan fee revenue, where applicable.

(1) The carrying value of real estate assets at December 31, 2018 included the Company's balance of the Palisades real estate loan investment, which included the amounts funded by an unrelated participant. On March 13, 2019, the Company repurchased the loan participant's 25% balance in the loan from the loan participant and at September 30, 2019, carried the entire loan balance on its consolidated balance sheet without reflection of any liability to any third party.
The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date of the loan,

based on the outstanding loan balances at September 30, 2019, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.
The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 15, 25 and 35 year notes as of the reporting date. The present values of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the fixed rate mortgages and again at the current market rate. The difference between the two results was applied as a fair market adjustment to the carrying value of the mortgages.

Disclosure guidance under GAAP requires the Company to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the mortgage pools is more observable. The VIE assets within the two mortgage pools consist of mortgage loans which finance 40 and 20 multifamily communities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair value of the VIE assets within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of the fair value of the mortgages as estimated by the Company, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the mortgages until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for instruments of similar type and duration. The fair values of the notes are categorized within the level 3 hierarchy of fair value estimation as the discount rate primary input assumption is unobservable.

Significant Developments
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we acquired two office buildings, two multifamily communities, five grocery-anchored shopping centers and one student housing property.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we issued 372,540 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $335.2 million from our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. We also issued 46,765 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $45.4 million from our mShares Offering. On September 27, 2019, the SEC declared effective our offering of up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock, or a combination of both (the "Series A1/M1 Registration Statement"). Our Preferred Stock offerings and our other equity offerings are discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we issued 780,880 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants issued in our offerings of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $10.1 million from those exercises.
As of September 30, 2019, we are continuing to explore the process of internalization, whereby we would assume the functions and incur the costs of such functions that historically were performed by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or our Manager, and its affiliates. No signed agreement is currently in place and we do not currently have a definitive timeline to complete the internalization, if any were to occur.

General
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Industry Outlook
We believe continued, albeit potentially sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will continue for 2019, given the continued job growth and improvements in consumer confidence. The presidential administration certainly creates more uncertainty in the direction and trajectory of economic growth. We believe a growing economy, improved job market and increased consumer confidence should help create favorable conditions for the multifamily sector. If the economy continues to improve, we expect current occupancy rates generally to remain stable on an annual basis as we believe the current level of occupancy nationwide will be difficult to measurably improve upon.
Multifamily Communities
The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing nationwide in recent years, may be showing signs of declining going forward, or at least plateauing. The new supply coming on line to date has been generally in line with demand in most of our markets although we have seen some areas where demand is falling short of new supply. Nationally, new multifamily construction is currently at or above average historical levels in most markets. Even with the increase in new supply of multifamily properties, recent job growth and demographic trends have led to reasonable levels of absorption in most of our markets. The absorption rate has led to generally stable occupancy rates with increases in rental rates in most of our markets. We believe the
52
supply of new multifamily construction will not increase dramatically as the constraints in the market (including availability of quality sites and the difficult permitting and entitlement process) will constrain further increases in multifamily supply. We expect that new supply is at or near a peak and these constraints may result in a leveling out or decline in new multifamily “starts” in 2019 and 2020. As an offset, the presidential administration may loosen banking regulation standards, which could cause an increase in available capital for new construction. Any relaxing of these regulations could lead to more capital for new multifamily development and an increase in supply. The cost of private capital, less debt capital available from traditional commercial banks for real estate loans and a softening of the market in some “Gateway” cities have all put pressure on the pricing dynamic in multifamily transactions. This could lead to an increase in capitalization rates and a softening price environment, and if this were to occur, then our pipeline of candidate multifamily property acquisitions with returns meeting our investment objectives may expand. However, it is important to note that, currently, equity capital for multifamily product remains available and has fueled the demand for the product which has led to the recent cap rate compression. Currently, that availability of capital remains strong and the investment market for multifamily remains popular.
The recent declines in U.S. Treasury yields combined with competitive lender spreads have maintained a favorable borrowing environment for multifamily owners and developers. Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, fueled in part by the U.S. President and how his policies may affect domestic and international markets, investors have been wary in their approach to debt markets. Recent US bond market movements have seen rates decline and spreads from the government-sponsored entity, or GSE, lenders have been relatively stable with slightly more volatility than in the recent past. Other lenders in the market have had generally stable spreads as well and some lenders have actually dropped spreads in our markets. During the balance of 2019, we may well see spreads remaining at or near current levels as the investment community becomes more comfortable with the direction of the market and the US economy. With the recent decrease in U.S. Treasury rates, we expect the market to continue to remain favorable for financing multifamily communities, as the equity and debt markets have generally continued to view the U.S. multifamily sector as a desirable investment. Lending by GSEs is limited by the recent caps on production or capital retention rates imposed by the Federal Housing and Finance Association. The new caps set production levels generally in line with the agencies recent history. It could be the case that the agencies new caps lead to higher lending rates in the short term as the agencies and the market digest the new caps. Although we expect such higher costs to be offset by increased lending activity by other market participants; such other market participants may have increased costs and stricter underwriting criteria. Recently, there has been increased dialog from multiple sources discussing the future of the GSEs. Any change to the structure of the GSEs and their business model could have material impacts on the multifamily debt capital markets generally.
We believe the combination of a difficult regulatory environment and high underwriting standards for commercial banks will continue to create a choppy market for new construction financing. In addition, we believe the continued hesitance among many prospective homebuyers to believe the net benefits of home ownership are greater than the benefit of the flexibility offered through renting will continue to work in the existing multifamily sector's favor. We also believe there will be a continued boost to demand for multifamily rental housing due to the ongoing entry of the “millennial” generation, the sons and daughters of the babyboom generation, into the workforce. This generation has a higher statistical propensity to rent their home and stay a renter deeper into their life-cycle, resulting in an increase in demand for rental housing. This combination of factors should generally result in gradual increases in market rents, lower concessions and opportunities for increases in ancillary fee income.
Student Housing Properties
Regarding the student housing industry, the Fall 2019 preleasing numbers were very consistent with last year, which is encouraging considering the roughly 10% increase in anticipated supply this year. Industry reports suggest that nationally, effective rents were up 1.7% as of June, slightly higher than 2018’s growth. The top 10 universities for rent growth are all experiencing growth over 5%, however, nearly all of them have seen little to no new supply as of late. Over the past four years, national occupancy levels have stayed fairly consistent at approximately 95%. There were roughly 48,000 student housing beds delivered across the country in the fall of 2019, with a similar forecast for fall of 2020 delivery. This inventory growth, while greater than the two previous years, remains in line with recent levels.
Industry reports estimate that there will be approximately 22.6 million students enrolled at US colleges by 2026. Industry reports also forecast US enrollment to grow by 1.1% annually from 2018 to 2023, while they estimate that undergraduate college enrollment will grow by an annual average of 1.5% over the next six years. We believe that the primary drivers of expanding enrollment will be moderate job growth, positive 18 to 24 year old population growth, and historically high enrollment rates of 68% to 70% over the next four years among high school graduates.
53
Preferred Office Properties
The office investment market continues to post healthy fundamentals across our current and target footprint, where we are primarily focused on high growth, non-“Gateway” markets. Due to banking reforms and conservative behavior among market participants, this cycle has been characterized by an historically low level of speculative office construction which is supporting continued good performance.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(2) FFO and AFFO results are presented per weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit in our Operating Partnership outstanding for the periods indicated.
(3) Per share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding.
• | For the third quarter 2019, our FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 85.0% and our FFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 67.5%. (A) |
• | Our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 223.5% for the third quarter 2019 and 93.2% for the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. Our AFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 84.5% for the third quarter 2019 and 68.2% for the trailing twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019. (B) We have $27.9 million of earned but not yet payable interest on our real estate loan investment portfolio. |
• | At September 30, 2019, the market value of our common stock was $14.45 per share. A hypothetical investment in our Common Stock in our initial public offering on April 5, 2011, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and no transaction costs, would have resulted in an average annual return of approximately 17.4% through September 30, 2019. |
• | As of September 30, 2019, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 5.4 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry. |
• | As of September 30, 2019, approximately 91.6% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 3.8% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates. |
54
• | During the third quarter 2019, we refinanced six retail assets with new fixed-rate mortgage debt and on October 1, we repaid two other maturing mortgages on retail properties which remain unencumbered. |
• | At September 30, 2019, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 52.4%. Included in our total assets were our investments in the Series 2018-ML04 and Series 2019-ML05 from the Freddie Mac K program. Our leverage calculation excludes the gross assets of approximately $586 million and liabilities of approximately $586 million that are owned by other pool participants in the Freddie Mac K program that we consolidated under the VIE rules. |
• | As of September 30, 2019, our total assets were approximately $5.3 billion compared to approximately $4.1 billion as of September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately $1.1 billion, or approximately 26.9%. This growth was driven by (i) the acquisition of 12 net real estate properties (the net additions partially offset by the sale of two properties) and (ii) the consolidation of the mortgage pools from the Freddie Mac K program. Excluding the VIE mortgage pool assets from other participants in the K Program, our total assets grew approximately $789.0 million, or 20.3% since September 30, 2018. |
• | On August 16, 2019, we closed on a real estate loan investment of up to approximately $14.8 million in connection with the development of Kennesaw Crossing, a 250-unit multifamily community to be located in Kennesaw, Georgia. |
• | On October 30, 2019, we amended the purchase and sale agreement for the sale of six of our student housing properties to include the sale of our Haven 12 real estate loan investment that has an outstanding principal and accrued interest amount of approximately $7.3 million. |
(A) We calculate the FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders. We calculate the FFO payout ratio to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and FFO. Since our operations resulted in a net loss from continuing operations for the periods presented, a payout ratio based on net loss is not calculable. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures.
(B) We calculate the AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to AFFO. We calculate the AFFO payout ratio to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and AFFO.
Real Estate Loan Investments
Certain real estate loan investments include limited purchase options and additional amounts of accrued interest, which becomes due in cash to us on the earliest to occur of: (i) the maturity of the loan, (ii) any uncured event of default as defined in the associated loan agreement, (iii) the sale of the project or the refinancing of the loan (other than a refinancing loan by us or one of our affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest amounts. We hold options, but not obligations, to purchase certain of the properties which are partially financed by our real estate loans, as shown in the table below. The option purchase prices are negotiated at the time of the loan closing and are to be calculated based upon market cap rates at the time of exercise of the purchase option, with discounts ranging from between 10 and 60 basis points, depending on the loan.

(6) The project plans are for the construction of a class A office building consisting of approximately 192,000 rentable square feet; our purchase option window opens 90 days following the achievement of 90% lease commencement and ends on November 30, 2024 (subject to adjustment). Our purchase option is at the to-be-agreed-upon market value. In the event the property is sold to a third party, we would be due a fee based on a minimum multiple of 1.15 times the total commitment amount of the real estate loan investment, less the amounts actually paid by the borrower, up to and including payment of accrued interest and repayment of principal at the time of the sale. |

Recent acquisitions
Our acquisitions (net of dispositions) of real estate assets since January 1, 2018 were the primary drivers behind our increases in rental and property revenues and property operating expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018.

Rental Revenues
Rental revenue increased due primarily to properties acquired since January 1, 2018, as shown in the following table:

Increases in occupancy rates and in percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of increases in rental revenue from our owned properties. Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for home purchases, and changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.
We also collect revenue from residents and tenants for items such as utilities, application fees, lease termination fees, common area maintenance reimbursements and late charges. The increases in these other property revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018 were primarily due to the acquisitions listed above, and approximately $1.6 million in lease termination revenues recorded in the nine month period ended September 30, 2019.
Interest income from our real estate loan investments decreased for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $383.2 million at September 30, 2019 from $392.2 million at September 30, 2018. The total commitment amount of our real estate loan investment portfolio decreased from approximately $515.5 million at September 30, 2018 to $457.9 million at September 30, 2019. Real estate loan investments supporting four multifamily communities and two student housing properties were repaid or settled between September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2019.
We recorded interest income and other revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Property operating and maintenance expense
Expenses to operate and maintain our properties increased due primarily to properties acquired since January 1, 2018, as shown in the following table. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents and tenants.

Property salary and benefits
We recorded property salary and benefits expense for individuals who handle the on-site management, operations and maintenance of our properties. These costs increased primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by additional personnel necessary to manage and operate properties acquired since January 1, 2018, as shown in the following table:

Property management fees
We pay a fee for property management services to our Manager in an amount of 4% of gross property revenues as compensation for services such as rental, leasing, operation and management of our multifamily communities and the supervision of any subcontractors; for grocery-anchored shopping center assets, property management fees are generally 4% of gross property revenues, of which generally 2.0% to 2.5% is paid to a third party management company. Property management fees for office building assets are within the range of 2.0% to 2.75% of gross property revenues, of which 1.5% to 2.25% is paid to a third party management company. The increases were primarily due to properties acquired since January 1, 2018, as shown in the following table:

Real estate taxes
We are liable for property taxes due to the various counties and municipalities that levy such taxes on real property for each of our properties. Real estate taxes rose primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by properties acquired since January 1, 2018, as shown in the following table:

Total | $ | 2,273 | 100.0 | % | $ | 7,279 | 100.0 | % |
We generally expect the assessed values of our properties to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions, as well as pressure on municipalities to raise revenues.
General and Administrative
The changes in general and administrative expenses occurred as shown in the following table:

Equity compensation to directors and executives
Expenses recorded for equity compensation awards decreased for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018 primarily due to the lack of a Class B OP Unit grant for 2019. The Class B Unit grant made on January 2, 2018 was comprised of an aggregate 256,087 Class B Units with a fair value of approximately $4.3 million.
Depreciation and amortization
The increases in depreciation and amortization for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 versus 2018 are primarily due to acquisitions made during 2019.
Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party
Monthly asset management fees are equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total book value of assets, as adjusted. General and administrative expense fees are equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company. Both are calculated as prescribed by the Management Agreement and are paid monthly to our Manager. These fees rose primarily due to the incremental assets and revenues brought on by acquired office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers, student housing properties and multifamily communities listed previously.

Waived asset management and general and administrative expense fees
The Manager may, in its discretion, waive some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees for properties owned by the Company. The waived fees are converted at the time of such election into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manager only in the event of a sales transaction, and whereby the Company’s capital contributions for the property being sold exceed a 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle.
There were no contingent fees realized due to property sales for the three-month or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We disclose FFO and AFFO, each of which meet the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure”, as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result we are required to include in this filing a statement of why the Company believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. None of FFO and AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further FFO and AFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.
Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”)
FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations,” which was restated in 2018, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO as a meaningful supplemental gauge of our operating results, and as is most often presented by other REIT industry participants.
The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one reported by the Company) is:
Net income/loss, excluding:
• | depreciation and amortization related to real estate; |
• | gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets; |
• | gains and losses from change in control and |
• | impairment writedowns of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. |
Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, so caution should be taken in comparing the Company’s reported FFO results to those of other companies. The Company’s FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.
Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“AFFO”)
AFFO makes further adjustments to FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. The Company calculates AFFO as:
FFO, plus:
• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;
• amortization of loan closing costs;
• losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;
• weather-related property operating losses;
• amortization of loan coordination fees paid to the Manager;
• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;
• net loan fees received;
• accrued interest income received;
• internalization costs;
• allowances for loan loss reserves;
• cash received for purchase option terminations;
• deemed dividends on preferred stock redemptions;
• non-cash dividends on Series M Preferred Stock; and
• amortization of lease inducements;
Less:
• non-cash loan interest income;
• cash paid for loan closing costs;
• amortization of acquired real estate intangible liabilities;
• amortization of straight line rent adjustments and deferred revenues; and
66
• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized retail direct leasing costs.
AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and may be useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. Since our calculation of AFFO removes other significant non-cash charges and revenues and other costs which are not representative of our ongoing business operations, we believe it improves comparability to investors in assessing our core operating results across periods. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders. FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders and AFFO to Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders
1) | Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 include activity for the properties acquired during the quarter only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, the third quarter 2019 period includes activity for the properties acquired since September 30, 2018. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the third quarter 2018 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition. |
2) | Non-controlling interests in Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or our Operating Partnership, consisted of a total of 856,409 Class A Units as of September 30, 2019. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 1.90% and 2.59% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
3) | We pay loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, our Manager, to reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties. The fees are calculated as 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties or refinancing and are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans. This non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. At September 30, 2019, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $14.1 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.4 years. |
4) | We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. Effective April 13, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased from $150 million to $200 million. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At September 30, 2019, aggregate unamortized loan costs were approximately $25.1 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 9.1 years. |
5) | We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received after the payment of loan origination fees to our Manager are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower (see note 6). |
6) | This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 5 above) which was earned and accrued prior to those periods presented on various real estate loans. |
7) | This adjustment reflects the add-back of exploratory expenses incurred by the Company related to the potential internalization of the functions performed by its Manager. |
8) | This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers. |
9) | Effective January 1, 2019, we terminated our purchase options on the Sanibel Straits, Newbergh, Wiregrass and Cameron Square multifamily communities and the Solis Kennesaw student housing property; on May 7, 2018, we terminated our purchase options on the Encore, Bishop Street and Hidden River multifamily communities and the Haven46 and Haven Charlotte student housing properties, all of which are (or were) partially supported by real estate loan investments held by us. In exchange, we arranged to receive termination fees aggregating approximately $20.2 million from the developers, which are recorded as revenue over the period beginning on the date of election until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property. The receipt of the cash termination fees are an additive adjustment in our calculation of AFFO and the removal of non-cash revenue from the recognition of the termination fees are a reduction to FFO in our calculation of AFFO; both of these adjustments are presented in a single net number within this line. For the three-month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, we had recognized termination fee revenues in excess of cash received, resulting in the negative adjustments shown to FFO in our calculation of AFFO. |
10) | This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with our acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored |
70
shopping center assets and office buildings. At September 30, 2019, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $53.0 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 9.4 years.
11) | This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings. |
12) | We deduct from FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Buildings Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-Term Liquidity
We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:
• | operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties (including regular maintenance items); |
• | capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties; |
• | interest expense on our outstanding property level debt; |
• | amounts due on our Credit Facility; |
• | distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders; |
• | cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders, and |
• | committed investments. |
We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. On March 23, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $200 million pursuant to an accordion feature. The accordion feature permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. On December 12, 2018, the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, was amended to extend the maturity to December 12, 2021, with an option to extend the maturity date to December 12, 2022, subject to certain conditions described therein. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.50% per annum, depending upon our leverage ratio. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 5.53% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also reduced the commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit to 0.25% or 0.30% per annum, depending upon our outstanding Credit Facility balance.
On March 29, 2018, we refinanced the mortgage on our Sol student housing property. A short-term bridge loan was used to replace the mortgage being held on the Acquisition Facility. The mortgage principal balance of approximately $37.5 million remained the same under the new financing arrangement, and the existing variable interest rate increased 10 basis points, to 210 basis points over LIBOR. As a result of the refinance, we incurred expenses of approximately $61,000, which are included within the Interest Expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On May 26, 2016, we utilized proceeds from the Interim Term Loan to partially finance the acquisition of Anderson Central, a grocery-anchored shopping center located in Anderson, South Carolina. The Interim Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and was repaid and extinguished during the first quarter 2018.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our results with respect to such compliance are presented in Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
71
On February 28, 2017, we entered into a revolving acquisition credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The sole purpose of the Acquisition Credit Agreement is to finance our acquisitions of multifamily communities and student housing communities prior to obtaining permanent conventional mortgage financing on the acquired assets. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility was reduced by agreement with KeyBank to $90 million on March 25, 2019. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein.
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $124.4 million and $112.0 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to incremental cash generated by property income provided by real estate assets acquired since September 30, 2018.
The majority of our revenue is derived from residents and tenants under existing leases at our multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these properties; and (5) the ability of our residents and tenants to make their rental payments.
We also earn interest revenue from the issuance of real estate-related loans and may receive fees at the inception of these loans for committing and originating them. Interest revenue we receive on these loans is influenced by (1) market interest rates on similar loans; (2) the availability of credit from alternative financing sources; (3) the desire of borrowers to finance new real estate projects; and (4) unique characteristics attached to these loans, such as exclusive purchase options. In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, we will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If we do not wish to acquire the property, we have the right to sell the purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount, which is recognized as interest income over the earlier of the maturity date of the loan or the sale of the property.
Interest income on our loans and notes receivable decreased from $49.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 to $46.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to the repayment or settlement since September 30, 2018 of 9 real estate loan investments with an aggregate commitment amount of $139.9 million which supported 6 real estate development projects.
Our net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $530.0 million and $625.7 million, respectively. Cash disbursed for property acquisitions decreased from $662.9 million in the 2018 period to $442.4 million in the 2019 period, partially offset by the investing cash inflow from the sale of mortgage-backed securities of approximately $53.4 million.
Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties, student housing properties, office properties and grocery-anchored shopping centers and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We will seek to acquire more multifamily communities, student housing properties, office properties and grocery-anchored shopping centers at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents or tenants in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.

In addition, second-generation capital expenditures within our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We define second-generation capital expenditures as those that exclude expenditures made in our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our ownership standards, and (iii) for property re-developments and repositioning.
73
Second-generation capital expenditures within our office properties portfolio for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $465,000 and $116,000, respectively. Second-generation capital expenditures exclude those expenditures made in our office properties portfolio (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our Class A ownership standards (and which amounts were underwritten into the total investment at the time of acquisition) and (iii) for property re-developments and repositionings.
At September 30, 2019, we had restricted cash of approximately $17.6 million that was contractually restricted to fund capital expenditures and other property-level commitments such as tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $465.1 million and $527.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our significant financing cash sources were approximately $329.9 million and $386.6 million of net proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately $380.0 million and $303.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of net proceeds from our offerings of our Preferred Stock Units.
Distributions
In order to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, our objective is to meet our short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of our quarterly Common Stock dividends, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares, through net cash generated from operating results.
Our board of directors reviews the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividends monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividends will consistently be paid in cash. Dividends may be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. We expect the aggregate dollar amount of monthly Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividend payments to increase at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new Units from our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering and mShares from our mShares Offering, less those shares redeemed.
Our third quarter 2019 Common Stock dividend declaration of $0.2625 per share represented an overall increase of 110% from our initial Common Stock dividend per share of $0.125 following our IPO, or an average annual dividend growth rate of approximately 13.4% over the same period. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.
We believe that our short-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $41.5 million and our cash flows from operating activities were approximately $49.8 million. We expect our cash flow from operations over time to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends, Class A Unit distributions and our monthly Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and mShares dividends.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
We believe our principal long-term liquidity needs are to fund:
• | the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures; |
• | capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office properties; |
• | costs associated with current and future capital raising activities; |
• | costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, student housing properties, grocery-anchored shopping centers, office properties or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing lending opportunities; and |
• | our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status. |
74
We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, our mShares Offering (both as defined below), our 2019 Preferred Stock Offering (as defined and described in note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements), Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.
On February 14, 2017, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211924) for our offering for up to 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock, referred to as our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. The price per Unit is $1,000, subject to adjustment if a participating broker-dealer reduces its commission. We intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, student housing communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers, office buildings and other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.
Aggregate offering expenses of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and of the mShares Offering, including dealer manager fees, are each individually capped at 11.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the two offerings. We will reimburse our Manager up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of such offerings for all organization and offering expenses that are incurred by our Manager. However, upon approval by the conflicts committee of the board of directors, we may reimburse our Manager for any such organization and offering expenses incurred above the 1.5% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. Dealer manager fees for both offerings and sales commissions for the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering are not reimbursable.
On December 2, 2016, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214531), for our offering of up to 500,000 shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock, or mShares, par value $0.01 per share, or the mShares Offering. The price per mShare is $1,000. We intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the mShares Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, student housing communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers, office buildings and other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.
At September 30, 2019, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:
• | an offering of a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series M1 Preferred Stock, or a combination of both under the Series A1/M1 Registration Statement; |
• | an offering of a maximum of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock (the "$1.5 Billion Unit Offering"); |
• | an offering of up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (“mShares”), par value $0.01 per share (the “mShares Offering”); and |
• | an offering of up to $400 million of equity or debt securities (the "2019 Shelf Offering"), including an offering of up to $125 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2019 ATM Offering"). |
• | an offering of up to 1,000,000 Shares of Series A1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A1 Preferred Stock"), Series M1 Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series M1 Preferred Stock"), or a combination of both (collectively the "Series A1/M1 Offering"). |
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, no shares of our common stock were issued under our previously expired at-the-market offering of up to $150 million of common stock or our 2019 ATM Offering.
Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our securities is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about us, and the current trading price of our Common Stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the equity and credit markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive to us or at all.
The sources to fulfill our long-term liquidity in the future may include borrowings from a number of sources, including repurchase agreements, securitizations, resecuritizations, warehouse facilities and credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), in addition to our Revolving Line of Credit. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage
75
in making our investments in multifamily communities and retail shopping centers. The number of different multifamily communities, retail shopping centers and other investments we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including the amount of funds available to us. By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio.
We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the fair market value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loans, notes receivable, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis. As of September 30, 2019, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 51% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at September 30, 2019. Neither our charter nor our by-laws contain any limitation on the amount of leverage we may use. Our investment guidelines, which can be amended by our board without stockholder approval, limit our borrowings (secured and unsecured) to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing. These targets, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. The amount of leverage we will place on particular investments will depend on our Manager's assessment of a variety of factors which may include the anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio, the potential for losses and extension risk in the portfolio, the availability and cost of financing the asset, our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, the health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general. In addition, factors such as our outlook on interest rates, changes in the yield curve slope, the level and volatility of interest rates and their associated credit spreads, the underlying collateral of our assets and our outlook on credit spreads relative to our outlook on interest rate and economic performance could all impact our decision and strategy for financing the target assets. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the investment cost for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. Finally, we intend to acquire all our real estate assets through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these assets using debt financing techniques for that asset alone without any cross-collateralization to our other real estate assets or any guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels, except for our Revolving Line of Credit.
Our secured and unsecured aggregate borrowings are intended by us to be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. In determining whether our borrowings are reasonable in relation to our tangible assets, we expect that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our credit ratings (if any), the value of our assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (from both of whom we have obtained single asset secured financing on all of our multifamily communities), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.
If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we may have to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times in order to maintain our REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions and certain rules applicable to REITs. We may not be able to sell a property or properties as quickly as we would like or on terms as favorable as we would like.
Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher costs of financing, then the interest expense relating to that financed indebtedness would be higher. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Finally, sellers may be less inclined to offer to sell to us if they believe we may be unable to obtain financing.
As of September 30, 2019, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.6 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties.
76
As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $86.2 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019, we had 1,454,906 outstanding Warrants from our sales of Units. The Warrants are exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant, with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share for Warrants issued after February 15, 2017. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2019, a total of 526,199 Warrants had been exercised into 10,523,980 shares of Common stock. The 1,454,906 Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2019 have exercise prices that range between $13.10 and $26.34 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2019 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $558.6 million and we would as a result issue an additional 29,098,120 shares of Common Stock.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2019, our contractual obligations consisted of the mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on a LIBOR rate of 2.02% at September 30, 2019, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:

In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $74.7 million at September 30, 2019.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. As of September 30, 2019, we have variable rate mortgages on the properties listed in following table.
Balance (in thousands) | Percentage of total mortgage indebtedness | LIBOR Cap | All-in Cap | |||||||||
Avenues at Creekside | $ | 39,077 | 5.0 | % | 6.6 | % | ||||||
The Tradition | 30,000 | 3.3 | % | 7.0 | % | |||||||
The Bloc | 28,966 | 3.3 | % | 6.8 | % | |||||||

Champions Village | 27,400 | n/a | n/a | |||||||||
Fairfield Shopping Center | 19,750 | |||||||||||
Total uncapped floating-rate debt | 120,100 | 4.6 | % | |||||||||
Total floating-rate debt | $ | 218,143 | 8.4 | % |
Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.0% over LIBOR as of September 30, 2019; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of the Revolving Line of Credit and Acquisition Credit Facility instruments, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal. We have no business operations which subject us to trading risk and no recourse liability or market or interest rate exposure to the consolidated VIE liabilities of the mortgage-backed pools from the Freddie Mac K Program.
77
We have and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:
• | maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level; |
• | place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and |
• | take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity financings. |
We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.
If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2019, would increase by approximately $1.6 million or decrease by approximately $1.3 million on an annualized basis.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Management of the Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2019, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
As required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
Neither we nor our subsidiaries nor, to our knowledge, our Manager is currently subject to any legal proceedings that we or our Manager consider to be material. To our knowledge, none of our communities are currently subject to any legal proceeding that we consider material.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our potential risks and uncertainties presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019.
