1. ORGANIZATION
Organization. Presidio Property Trust, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) is an internally managed diversified real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with holdings in office, industrial, and triple-net properties. NetREIT was incorporated in California on January 28, 1999, and was merged into NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, on August 4, 2010. In October 2017, we changed our name from “NetREIT, Inc.” to “Presidio Property Trust, Inc.” The Company’s portfolio includes the following properties:
•Twelve office buildings and one industrial property (“Office/Industrial Properties”) which total approximately 1,192,566 rentable square feet;
•Four retail shopping centers (“Retail Properties”) which total approximately 131,722 rentable square feet; and
•127 model home residential properties (“Model Homes”) leased back on a triple-net basis to homebuilders that are owned by five affiliated limited partnerships and one wholly-owned corporation (“Model Home Properties”).
The Company or one of its affiliates operate the following partnerships during the periods covered by these condensed consolidated financial statements:
•The Company is the sole general partner and a limited partner in two limited partnerships (NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP and NetREIT Casa Grande LP), all with ownership interests in entities that own real estate income producing properties.
•The Company is the general and/ or limited partner in five limited partnerships that purchase Model Homes and lease them back to homebuilders (Dubose Model Home Investors #202, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #203, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #204, LP, Dubose Model Home Investors #205, LP and NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, LP). The Company refers to these entities collectively as the “Model Home Partnerships”.
The Company has determined that the limited partnerships in which it owns less than 100% should be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company directs their activities and has control of such limited partnerships.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), for federal income tax purposes. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. If we fail to maintain our qualification as a REIT in any taxable year and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. We are subject to certain state and local income taxes.
We, together with one of our entities, have elected to treat our subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes.
The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed any significant interest or penalties for tax positions by any major tax jurisdictions.
Liquidity. On September 17, 2019 the Company executed a Promissory Note ("Note") pursuant to which Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund ("Polar"), executed a loan in the principal amount of $14.0 million to the Company. The Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8%per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments. The final payment due at maturity, October 1, 2020 (or March 31, 2021, if extended pursuant to the Note), includes payment of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the proceeds of the Note from Polar to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.

For the three months remaining in 2019 and the year ending December 31, 2020, we have $2.3 million and $11.6 million of mortgage notes payable maturing, respectively, related to the model home properties. Certain model home properties will be sold and the underlying mortgage notes will be paid off with sales proceeds while other mortgage notes will be refinanced. For the year ending December 31, 2020, we have $15.4 million of mortgage notes payable maturing related to the commercial properties. We plan to sell properties or refinance a significant portion of the mortgage notes payable, in the event the commercial property securing the respective mortgage note is not sold on or before maturity.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since it filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2019.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial statement and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of our operations, and cash flows as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company controls or of which it is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions among land, building and intangible assets acquired including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had approximately $7.4 million and $5.8 million in cash equivalents, respectively, and $3.7 million and $4.0 million of restricted cash, respectively. Our cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of invested cash and cash in our operating accounts and are held in bank accounts at third party institutions. Restricted cash consists of funds used for property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and leasing commissions.
Real Estate Held for Sale. Real estate held for sale during the current period is classified as “real estate held for sale” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Mortgage notes payable related to the real estate held for sale during the current period are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to real estate held for sale, net” for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2019, four properties meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, which are World Plaza, Union Terrace, Centennial Tech Center and Garden Gateway.
Impairments of Real Estate Asset. We review for impairment on a property by property basis. Impairment is recognized on properties held for use when the expected undiscounted cash flows for a property are less than its carrying amount at which time the property is written-down to fair value. The calculation of both discounted and undiscounted cash flows requires management to make estimates of future cash flows including revenues, operating expenses, required maintenance and development expenditures, market conditions, demand for space by tenants and rental rates over long periods. Since our properties typically have a long life, the assumptions used to estimate the future recoverability of book value requires significant management judgment. Actual results could be significantly different from the estimates. These estimates have a direct impact on net income because recording an impairment charge results in a negative adjustment to net income. The
9
evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods.
Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount or the expected sales price less costs to sell. Although our strategy is to hold our properties over the long-term, if our strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized to reduce the property to fair value and such loss could be material.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company determined that no impairment existed, and no impairment charge was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Fair Value Measurements. Under GAAP, we are required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, we are required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
When available, we utilize quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require us to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When we determine the market for a financial instrument owned by us to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, we use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of a liability in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously presented consolidated financial statements and condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of consolidated operations or equity.
Subsequent Events. We evaluate subsequent events up until the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 and have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for periods presented before January 1, 2019 as these prior periods conform to the Accounting Standards Codification 840. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the
10
lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. We evaluated all leases within this scope under existing accounting standards and under the new ASU lease standard and no right-of-use assets and lease liabilities was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the right-of-use assets and liabilities was $661,000.
As a lessor, our rental revenue remained mainly consistent with previous guidance, apart from the narrower definition of initial direct costs that can be capitalized. The new standard defines initial direct costs as only the incremental costs of signing a lease. As such, certain compensation and certain external legal fees related to the execution of successful lease agreements no longer meet the definition of initial direct costs under the new standard and will be accounted for in the line item General and Administrative Expense. However, the adoption of the standard, along with the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements which the FASB issued in July 2018, did change our presentation of our results from operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The main changes caused by the adoption of the standards are:
•The new standard provided a practical expedient, which allows lessors to combine non-lease components with the related lease components if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components(s) and the related lease components, and the lease components would be classified as an operating lease. Lessors are permitted to apply the practical expedient to all existing leases on a retrospective or prospective basis. We elected the practical expedient to combine our lease and non-lease components that meet the defined criteria. The non-lease components of our leases primarily consist of common area maintenance reimbursements from our tenants.
•The new standard requires our expected credit loss related to the collectability of lease receivables to be reflected as an adjustment to the line item Rental Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the credit loss related to the collectability of lease receivables was recognized in the line item Rental Operating Expense and was not significant.
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduces a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Retrospective adjustments shall be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company continues to evaluate the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the majority of our receivables are derived from operating leases and are excluded from this standard.
In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments provide specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for public business entities in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted but not earlier than the adoption of Topic 606. The Company does not believe that this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements as it has not historically issued share-based payments to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services to be consumed within its operations.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

8. NOTE PAYABLE
On September 17, 2019, the Company executed a Promissory Note pursuant to which Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund (“Polar”), extended a loan in the principal amount of $14.0 million to the Company ("Polar Note"). The Polar Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum and requires monthly interest-only payments. The final payment due at maturity, October 1, 2020 (or March 31, 2021, if extended pursuant to the Note), includes payment of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may repay the Polar Note at any time, subject to the payment of an Optional Redemption Fee (as defined in the Note), if applicable. Such fee is not applicable to repayments made from the proceeds of property sales.
The principal balance of the Note as of September 30, 2019 consist of cash received of $12.6 million and Original Issue Discount ("OID") of $1.4 million. The OID has been recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the principal of the Note and is recognized as interest expense over the term of the Note commencing on September 17, 2019 through October 1, 2020. The unrecognized OID totaled approximately $1.4 million as of September 30, 2019. The accretion of the OID recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $49,000.
The Company incurred approximately $1.1 million in legal and underwriting costs related to the transaction. These costs have been recorded as debt issuance costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the principal of the Note and are being amortized over the term of the Note. Amortization expense totaling approximately $93,000 was included in interest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized debt issuance costs totaled $1.0 million as of September 30, 2019.
Under the terms of the Polar Note, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants including maintaining a debt to property fair value ratio of no greater than 75%. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with such covenants.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2019, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. SERIES B MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
In August 2014, the Company closed on a private placement offering of its mandatorily redeemable Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The financing was funded in installments and completed on December 24, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had issued 35,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding number of shares was zero and 16,900, respectively. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock as a liability in accordance with ASC Topic No. 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities and therefore the related dividend payments are treated as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The Series B Preferred Stock was scheduled to be redeemed on August 1, 2017; however, the Company had two one-year options to extend the redemption date. The Company exercised both one-year option to extend the redemption date to August 1, 2019 and paid total extension fees of $307,000. The Company incurred approximately $3.1 million in legal and underwriting costs related to this offering. These costs were recorded as deferred financing costs on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and are being amortized over the term of the agreement. Amortization expense totaling approximately $0 and $47,000 was included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and approximately $122,000 and $269,000 was included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized deferred costs totaled $0 and $122,000 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company redeemed all of the 16,900 shares of its remaining outstanding Series B Preferred Stock for $16.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company redeemed 13,800 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock for $13.8 million. As of September 30, 2019, no Series B Preferred Stock remained outstanding and as of December 31, 2018, 16,900 shares were outstanding, which were redeemed for $16.9 million in cash.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 8,990,000 shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series, and to determine or alter the rights granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock including the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price, and liquidation preference.
The Board of Directors authorized the original issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock as Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series AA”). Each share of Series AA (i) is non-voting, except under certain circumstances as provided in the Articles of Incorporation; (ii) is entitled to annual cash dividends of 7% which are cumulative and payable quarterly; (iii) ranks senior, as to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon liquidation, to common stock or any other series of Preferred Stock that is not senior to or on parity with the Series AA; (iv) is entitled to receive $25.00 plus accrued dividends upon liquidation; (v) may be redeemed by the Company prior to the mandatory conversion date at a price of $25.00 plus accrued dividends, and (vi) may be converted into two shares of common stock at the option of the holder prior to the mandatory conversion date. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The Company has not issued any shares of this Series AA Preferred Stock.
Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Series A Common Stock $0.01 par value (“Series A Common Stock”) and 1,000 shares of Series B Common Stock $0.01 par value (“Series B Common Stock”). The Series A Common Stock and the Series B Common Stock have identical rights, preferences, terms and conditions except that the holders of Series B Common Stock are not entitled to receive any portion of Company assets in the event of Company liquidation. There have been no shares of Series B Common Stock issued. Each share of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote. The Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock are not subject to redemption and do not have any preference, conversion, exchange or pre-emptive rights. The articles of incorporation contain a restriction on ownership of the common stock that prevents one person from owning more than 9.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
Cash Dividends. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 the Company paid a cash dividend of approximately $2.2 million or $0.06 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company suspended the payment of dividends and no dividends were declared or paid.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Company had adopted a distribution reinvestment plan (“Plan) that allowed stockholders to receive dividends and other distributions otherwise distributable to them invested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company registered 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan. The purchase price per share used in the past was 95% of the price the Company sold its shares or $9.50 per share. No sales commission or dealer manager fee were paid on shares sold through the Plan. The Company may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Any such amendment, suspension or termination will be effective upon a designated dividend record date and notice of such amendment, suspension or termination will be sent to all participants at least thirty (30) days prior to such record date.The Plan became effective on January 23, 2012 and was suspended on December 7, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, approximately $17.4 million or approximately 1,834,147 shares of common stock have been issued under the Plan. No shares were issued under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company recognizes noncash compensation expense ratably over the vesting period, and accordingly, we recognized $193,000 and $172,000 in noncash compensation expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations. We recognized $809,000 and $516,000 in noncash compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company leases a portion of its corporate headquarters in San Diego, California to entities 100% owned by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Rental income recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $4,000 and $6,000, respectively, and $7,000 and $21,000, respectively.
13. SEGMENTS
The Company’s reportable segments consist of three types of commercial real estate properties for which the Company’s decision-makers internally evaluate operating performance and financial results: Office/Industrial Properties, Model Home Properties and Retail Properties. The Company also has certain corporate-level activities including accounting, finance, legal administration and management information systems which are not considered separate operating segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2. There is no inter segment activity.
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI for its segments as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance, asset management fees, impairments and provision for bad debt). NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, real estate acquisition fees and expenses and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company uses NOI to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate investments and to make decisions about resource allocations.

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to our financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, footnotes and to Cautionary Statements appearing elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW
The Company operates as an internally managed, diversified REIT, with holdings in office, industrial, and triple-net properties. In October 2017, we changed our name from “NetREIT, Inc.” to “Presidio Property Trust, Inc.” The Company acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio of real estate assets including office, industrial, retail and model home residential properties leased to homebuilders located throughout the United States. As of September 30, 2019, the Company owned or had an equity interest in:
•Twelve office buildings and one industrial property (“Office/Industrial Properties”), which totals approximately 1,192,566 rentable square feet;
•Four retail shopping centers (“Retail Properties”), which total approximately 131,722 rentable square feet; and
•127 Model Homes leased back on a triple-net basis to homebuilders that are owned by five affiliated limited partnerships and one wholly-owned corporation (“Model Home Properties”).
The Company’s office, industrial and retail properties are located primarily in Southern California and Colorado, with four properties located in North Dakota. While geographical clustering of real estate enables us to reduce our operating costs through economies of scale by servicing a number of properties with less staff, it makes us susceptible to changing market conditions in these discrete geographic areas. We do not develop properties but acquire properties that are stabilized or that we anticipate will be stabilized within two or three years of acquisition. We consider a property to be stabilized once it has achieved an 80% occupancy rate for a full year as of January 1 of such year or has been operating for three years.
Most of our office, industrial and retail properties are leased to a variety of tenants ranging from small businesses to large public companies, many of which do not have publicly rated debt. We have in the past entered into, and intend in the future to enter into triple net leases that require tenants to pay, among other expense, all of the operating expenses or pay increases in operating expenses over specific base years. Decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that may impair our ability to timely renew or re-lease space could have a negative effect on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Our Model Homes are typically leased for two to three years to the homebuilder under a triple net lease. Under a triple net lease, the tenant is required to pay all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and real estate taxes with respect to the leased property.
We seek to diversify our portfolio by commercial real estate segments to reduce the adverse effect of a single under-performing segment, geographic market and/or tenant. We further supplement this at the tenant level through our credit review process, which varies by tenant class. For example, our commercial and industrial tenants tend to be corporations or businesses owned by individuals. In these cases, we typically obtain financial records, including financial statements and tax returns, and run credit reports for any prospective tenant to support our decision to enter into a rental arrangement. We also typically obtain security deposits from these commercial tenants and, as we deem prudent, personal guarantees or parental guarantees. Our Model Home tenants are typically homebuilders with established records of homebuilding and credit histories. These tenants are subject to financial review and analysis prior to entering into a sale-leaseback transaction. Our ownership of the underlying property provides a further means of reducing significant credit losses.
SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS IN 2019 AND 2018
Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company acquired 18 model homes for approximately $6.1 million and leased them back to the homebuilders. The purchase price was paid through cash payments of approximately $1.8 million and mortgage notes of approximately $4.3 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company acquired 39 Model Home Properties for approximately $15.2 million and leased them back to the homebuilders. The purchase price was paid through cash payments of approximately $4.6 million and mortgage notes of approximately $10.6 million.
21
Dispositions - We review our portfolio of investment properties for value appreciation potential on an ongoing basis and dispose of any properties that no longer satisfy our requirements in this regard. The proceeds from any such property sale, after repayment of any associated mortgage, are available for investing in properties that we believe will have a much greater likelihood of future price appreciation, for the payment of other debt and for general corporate purposes. We disposed of the following properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:
•On January 15, 2019, the Company sold the Morena Office Center for approximately $5.6 million and the Company recognized a gain of approximately $700,000;
•On May 8, 2019, the Company sold the Nightingale land for approximately $875,000 and the Company recognized a loss of $93,000.
•On July 1, 2019, NetREIT Genesis, LLC sold a 43% tenants-in-common interest in Genesis Plaza (“TIC Interest”) for $5.6 million to a newly formed entity, NetREIT Genesis II, LLC, in which NetREIT Casa Grande LP is the sole member. NetREIT Casa Grande LP owned and sold Morena Office Center on January 15, 2019. The sale of the TIC Interest was structured as a 1031 exchange and included $2.9 million in cash and assumption of debt. The Company remains a guarantor of the debt and NetREIT Genesis, LLC and NetREIT Genesis II, LLC are jointly and severally liable for the debt securing Genesis Plaza, the financial terms and conditions of which remain materially unchanged.
•The Presidio office building was sold on July 31, 2019 for approximately $12.3 million and the Company recognized a gain of approximately $4.5 million.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company disposed of 35 model homes for approximately $12.4 million and recognized a gain of approximately $1.0 million.
•During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company disposed of 24 model homes for approximately $9.0 million and recognized a gain of approximately $795,000.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The United States continues to expand its economy and perform well over several quarters. Real gross domestic product (“GDP”) by the Bureau of Economic Analysis increased at an annual rate of 1.9% in the third quarter of 2019. The Federal Reserve has remained optimistic about the United States’ economic outlook across many sectors.
The U.S. labor market remains strong, with an unemployment rate of 3.4% as of September 30, 2019. Unemployment in the office-using sector of professional and business services is similar to the overall unemployment rate at 3.2% as of September 30, 2019. The U.S. office market continued its expansion in the third quarter of 2019 with sustained leasing velocity and broad-based growth leading to 50 million square feet of absorption year to date, a 0.9% increase in asking rents as national vacancy rates for the office sector of commercial real estate decreased to 14.2% as of September 30, 2019.
It is impossible to project U.S. economic growth, and economic conditions may have a material effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 25, 2019.
MANAGEMENT EVALUATION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s evaluation of operating results includes an assessment of our ability to generate cash flow necessary to pay operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, debt service and to fund distributions to our stockholders. As a result, management’s assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effects of unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows. Management’s evaluation of our potential for generating cash flow includes assessments of our recently acquired properties, our non-stabilized properties, long-term sustainability of our real estate portfolio, our future operating cash flow from anticipated acquisitions, and the proceeds from the sales of our real estate assets.
22
In addition, management evaluates the results of our operations of our portfolio and individual properties with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality and quantity of properties in our real estate holdings. Management focuses its efforts on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals and rental rates. Properties that have reached goals in occupancy and rental rates are evaluated for potential added value appreciation and, if lacking such potential, are sold with the equity reinvested in properties that have better potential without foregoing cash flow. Our ability to increase assets under management is affected by our ability to raise borrowings and/or capital, coupled with our ability to identify appropriate investments.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018.
Revenues. Total revenue was $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1.3 million or 15.5%, which is due to a net decrease in rental income related to the sale of three properties during the fourth quarter of 2018 and two properties in 2019. The decrease in rental income is also offset by $58,000 related to the increase in occupancy to 83.1% as of September 30, 2019 compared to 82.5% for the same period in 2018.
Rental Operating Costs. Rental operating costs decreased by $185,000 to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2018. Rental operating costs as a percentage of total revenue was 36.2% and 32.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in rental operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 is due to the sale of the three properties during the fourth quarter of 2018 and two properties in 2019, offset by an overall increases in all expense categories as a result of higher wages and cost of operations in 2019 compared to 2018.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses increased by $67,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 20.7% and 16.7% for three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 is mainly due to an increase in stock compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to approximately $2.3 million for the same period in 2018, representing a decrease of approximately $514,000 or 22.6%. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to the sale of three properties in the fourth quarter of 2018 and two properties in 2019. In addition, the decrease is also due to three properties that are classified as real estate held for sale as of March 31, 2019 and no depreciation and amortization was recognized for the second and third quarter of 2019 for those properties.
Asset Impairments. We review the carrying value of each of our real estate properties quarterly to determine if circumstances indicate an impairment in the carrying value of these investments exists. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, management did not believe any impairment charge was required. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, management estimated that the fair market value of the Waterman Plaza property was below the carrying value and an impairment charge of approximately $533,000 was recorded.
Interest Expense-Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock issued in August 2014 included a mandatory redemption provision and therefore, was treated as a liability for financial reporting purposes. The interest paid and accrued and the amortization of the deferred offering costs are considered interest expense. Interest expense, including amortization of the deferred offering costs, totaled $925,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $221,000 or 19.3%. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 interest paid totaled $713,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, and the amortization of the deferred offering costs associated with that transaction totaled zero and $104,000, respectively, and were included in interest expense-Series B Preferred Stock in the accompanying financial statements. The Series B Preferred Stock was redeemed and is no longer outstanding at September 30, 2019 and as of September 30, 2018 there were 30,700 shares outstanding.
Interest Expense-mortgage notes. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred finance charges was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $412,000 or 19.3%. The decrease in interest expense relates to the decreased number of commercial properties owned in 2019 compared to 2018 and the related debt. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.7% and 4.6% as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
23
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Assets, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $4.9 million due to the sale of 9 Model Homes and the sale of The Presidio office building. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a net gain of $366,000 from the sale of 11 Model Homes.
Income allocated to non-controlling interests. Income allocated to non-controlling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $417,000 when compared to the income allocated during the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $284,000. The increase is related to the higher allocated net gain on sale of 9 Model Homes during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the sale of 11 Model Homes during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018.
Revenues. Total revenue was $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $24.7 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $3.4 million or 13.7%. The decrease in revenue for the nine months period in 2019 as compared to 2018 is directly related to the sale of three properties during the fourth quarter of 2018 and two properties in 2019. The decrease in rental income is also offset by $191,000 related to the increase in occupancy to 83.1% as of September 30, 2019 compared to 82.5% for the same period in 2018.
Rental Operating Costs. Rental operating costs decreased by $208,000 to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 2018. Rental operating costs as a percentage of total revenue was 36.7% and 32.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in rental operating costs as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 2018 is due to the following:
•Higher snow removal expense in 2019 due to inclement weather;
•Overall increases in all expense categories as a result of higher wages and cost of operations in 2019 compared to 2018; offset by
•Decreased rental operating cost due to the sale of the three properties during the fourth quarter of 2018 and two properties in 2019.
General and Administrative Expenses. G&A expenses increased by $591,000 or 14.6% to $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2018. G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 21.7% and 16.4% for nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in G&A expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 2018 is due to an increase in stock compensation expense of $380,000 primarily for stock granted to to new employees and officers in 2018 that vest ratably over the vesting period, some shares of which vested in January 2019, and additional expenses incurred due to the relocation of the corporate office in March of 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to approximately $6.9 million for the same period in 2018, representing a decrease of approximately $1.2 million or 16.9%. The decrease in depreciation and amortization during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily due to the properties sold during the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2019. In addition, the decrease is also due to three properties that are classified as real estate held for sale as of March 31, 2019 and no depreciation and amortization was recognized in the second and third quarter of 2019 for those properties.
Asset Impairments. We review the carrying value of each of our real estate properties quarterly to determine if circumstances indicate an impairment in the carrying value of these investments exists. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, management did not believe any impairment charge was required. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, management estimated that the fair market value of the Waterman Plaza property was below the carrying value and an impairment charge of approximately $533,000 was recorded.
Interest Expense-Series B preferred stock. The Series B Preferred Stock issued in August 2014 included a mandatory redemption provision and therefore was treated as a liability for financial reporting purposes. The interest paid and accrued and the amortization of the deferred offering costs are considered interest expense. Interest expense, including amortization of the deferred offering costs, totaled $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1.1 million or 34.2%. The decrease is primarily due to the redemption of all the outstanding Series B Preferred shares on September 17, 2019. Interest paid totaled $1.9 million and $3.3 million or the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the amortization of the deferred offering costs associated with that transaction totaled $122,000 and $85,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and were
24
included in interest expense-Series B preferred stock in the accompanying financial statements. The Series B Preferred Stock was redeemed and is no longer outstanding at September 30, 2019 and as of September 30, 2018 there were 30,700 shares outstanding.
Interest Expense-mortgage notes. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred finance charges was $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $675,000 or 11.0%. The decrease in interest expense relates to the decreased number of commercial properties owned in 2019 compared to 2018 and the related debt. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt was 4.7% and 4.6% as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Assets, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $6.2 million due to the sale of the following:
•Morena Office Center for a gain of approximately $700,000;
•Nightingale land for a loss of approximately $93,000;
• The Presidio office building for a gain of approximately $4.5 million; and
•35 model home sales for a net gain of approximately $1.0 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a net gain of approximately $795,000 due to the sales of 24 Model Home Properties.
Income allocated to non-controlling interests. Income allocated to non-controlling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled approximately $1.4 million when compared to the income allocated during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $852,000. The increase is related to the sale of 35 Model Home Properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 24 Model Home Properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our anticipated future sources of liquidity may include existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, refinancing of existing mortgages, future real estate sales, new borrowings, and the possible sale of additional equity/debt securities. Our cash and restricted cash at September 30, 2019 was $11.1 million, which included our available liquidity of cash and cash equivalents of $7.4 million.
Our future capital needs include paying down existing borrowings, maintaining our existing properties, funding tenant improvements, paying lease commissions (to the extent they are not covered by lender-held reserve deposits), and the payment of dividends to our stockholders. We also are actively seeking investments that are likely to produce income and achieve long term gains in order to pay dividends to our stockholders. To ensure that we can effectively execute these objectives, we routinely review our liquidity requirements and continually evaluate all potential sources of liquidity. We currently do not have a revolving line of credit but have been working to obtain such a line of credit.
Our short-term liquidity needs include paying down the Polar Note, paying our current operating costs, satisfying the debt service requirements of our existing mortgages, completing tenant improvements, paying leasing commissions, and funding dividends to stockholders. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the cash dividends paid to our common stockholders totaled $2.2 million and the net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $2.4 million. We believe that the cash flow from our existing portfolio, distributions from joint ventures in Model Home partnerships and property sales during 2019 will be sufficient to fund our near-term operating costs, capital expenditures and future dividends that may be paid to stockholders. If our cash flow from operating activities is not sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs, we will fund a portion of these needs from additional borrowings of secured or unsecured indebtedness, from real estate sales, or we will reduce the rate of dividends to the stockholders.
As stated above, our short-term liquidity needs include satisfying the debt service requirements of our existing mortgages. If our cash flow from operating activities is not sufficient to fund our short-term liquidity needs, we will fund a portion of these needs from additional borrowings of secured or unsecured indebtedness, from real estate sales, or we will reduce the rate of dividends to the stockholders. For the three months remaining in 2019 and the year ending December 31, 2020, we have $2.3 million and
25
$11.6 million of mortgage notes payable maturing, respectively, related to the Model Home Properties. Certain Model Home Properties will be sold and the underlying mortgage notes will be paid off with sales proceeds while other mortgage notes will be refinanced. For the year ending December 31, 2020, we have $15.4 million of mortgage notes payable maturing related to the commercial properties. We plan to sell properties or refinance a significant portion of the mortgage notes payable, in the event the commercial property securing the respective mortgage note is not sold on or before maturity.
Our long-term liquidity needs include proceeds necessary to grow and maintain our portfolio of investments. We believe that the potential financing capital available to us in the future is sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity needs. We are continually reviewing our existing portfolio to determine which properties have met our short- and long-term goals and reinvesting the proceeds in properties with better potential to increase performance. We expect to obtain additional cash in connection with refinancing of maturing mortgages and assumption of existing debt collateralized by some or all of our real property in the future to meet our long-term liquidity needs. If we are unable to arrange a line of credit, borrow on properties, privately place securities or sell securities to the public we may not be able to acquire additional properties to meet our long-term objectives.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had approximately $7.4 million and $5.8 million in cash equivalents, respectively, and $3.7 million and $4.0 million of restricted cash, respectively. Our cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of invested cash, cash in our operating accounts and cash held in bank accounts at third party institutions. During 2019 and 2018, we did not experience any loss or lack of access to our cash or cash equivalents. Approximately $2.0 million of our cash balance is intended for capital expenditures on existing properties (net of deposits held in reserve accounts by our lenders). We intend to use the remainder of our existing cash and cash equivalents for pay off of principal debt, general corporate purposes or dividends to our stockholders.
Secured Debt
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had one variable-rate mortgage note payable with a principal amount of $5.0 million and fixed-rate mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $106.3 million, collateralized by a total of 17 commercial properties with loan terms at issuance ranging from 5 to 21 years. The weighted-average interest rate on these mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2019 was approximately 4.7%, and our debt to estimated market value of these properties was approximately 58.4%.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 127 fixed-rate mortgage notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $29.8 million, collateralized by a total of 127 Model Homes. These loans generally have a term at issuance of three to five years. As of September 30, 2019, the average loan balance per home outstanding and the weighted-average interest rate on these mortgage loans are approximately $235,000 and 4.9%, respectively. Our debt to estimated value on these properties is approximately 61.8%. The Company has guaranteed these mortgages.
We have been able to refinance maturing mortgages before scheduled maturity dates and we have not experienced any notable difficulties financing our acquisitions.
Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased by approximately $122,000 to approximately $2.4 million from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities is due to higher non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities: Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $17.3 million compared to approximately $9.5 million of cash used in investing activities during the same period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company received gross proceeds from the sale of two office buildings for approximately $17.9 million, sale of land for $875,000 and sales of 35 Model Homes for approximately $12.4 million, which was offset by the purchase of 18 Model Homes for approximately $6.1 million and capital expenditures of approximately $5.2 million primarily related to tenant improvements for the new Chuze Fitness tenant at World Plaza. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds from sales of 24 Model Homes for approximately $9.0 million, which was offset by the purchase of 39 Model Homes for approximately $15.2 million.
We currently project that we could spend up to $1.0 million (net of deposits held in reserve accounts by lenders) on capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs for properties within our portfolio on an annual basis. Capital
26
expenditures may fluctuate in any given period subject to the nature, extent, and timing of improvements required to the properties. We may spend more on capital expenditures in the future due to rising construction costs. Tenant improvements and leasing costs may also fluctuate in any given year depending upon factors such as the property, the term of the lease, the type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $18.3 million compared to $10.8 million provided by financing activities for the same period in 2018 and was primarily due to the following activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:
•Redemption of 16,900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $16.9 million;
•Dividend payments of $2.2 million;
•Net increase in repayment of mortgage notes payable of $20.7 million; offset by
•Net proceeds from the Polar Note for $11.6 million
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations, including contingent obligations.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures:
Funds From Operations (“FFO”)
Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We compute FFO using the definition outlined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) reduced by gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property and extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, Management believes that FFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial performance when compared to other REITs since FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
Modified Funds From Operations (“MFFO”) and Adjusted Modified Funds From Operations (“Adjusted MFFO”)
We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the Investment Program Association’s (“IPA”) Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REIT Modified Funds From Operations, or the Practice Guideline, issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items, as applicable, included in the determination of GAAP net income: acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of above-market and below-market leases and liabilities (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments); accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; nonrecurring impairments of real estate-related investments (i.e., infrequent or unusual, not reasonably likely to recur in the ordinary course of business); mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; nonrecurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, nonrecurring unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income in calculating the cash flows provided by operating activities and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.
27
Our MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, we exclude acquisition related expenses, amortization of above-market and below-market leases, deferred rent receivables and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. In addition, our management uses an adjusted MFFO (“Adjusted MFFO”) as an indicator of our ongoing performance. Adjusted MFFO provides adjustments to reduce MFFO related to operating expenses that are capitalized with respect to our deferred offering costs related to the Company’s filing of a registration statement on Form S-11. Under GAAP, acquisition fees and expenses are characterized as operating expenses in determining operating net income. These expenses are paid in cash by us. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by us, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. The acquisition of properties, and the corresponding acquisition fees and expenses, is the key operational feature of our business plan to generate operational income and cash flow to fund distributions to our stockholders. Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income in determining cash flow from operating activities. In addition, we view fair value adjustments of impairment charges and gains and losses from dispositions of assets as non-recurring items or items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized, and which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance. In particular, we believe it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental and lease revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of MFFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and the relatively limited term of our operations, it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges.

Same-Store Property Operating Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.
The table below presents the operating results for the Company’s commercial properties owned as of January 1, 2018 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, thereby excluding the impact on our results of operations from the real estate properties acquired subsequently. The table below excludes model home operations as the rental rates do
28
not fluctuate during the term of the lease and there are no operating expenses. The Company believes that this type of non-GAAP financial measure, when considered with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, allows investors to better understand the Company’s operating results. Properties are included in this analysis if they were owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared. Further, same-property operating results is a measure for which there is no standard definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company’s peers, and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison between REITs.
The Company evaluates the performance of its same-store property operating results based upon net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements and other operating income) less property and related expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes, insurance and provision for bad debt) less interest expense. NOI excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of an asset such as non-property income and expenses, depreciation and amortization, asset management fees and corporate general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to NOI; however, NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income as the primary indicator of operating performance as it excludes the items described above. Additionally, NOI as defined above may not be comparable to other REITs or companies as their definitions of NOI may differ from the Company’s definition.

Overview
Same-store property NOI decreased 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 primarily due to lower rental revenue and higher rental operating cost. Rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased by 1.9% compared to the same period in 2018 due to the loss of a major tenant at Genesis Plaza and lower rental rates at Waterman Plaza. Rental operating cost increased by 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to an increase in snow removal expense in 2019 for inclement weather and an overall increase in operating expense.
Leasing
Our same-store NOI decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 was primarily driven by an increase in rental operating expense. Over the long-term, we believe that the infill nature and strong demographics of our properties provide us with a strategic advantage, allowing us to maintain relatively high occupancy and increase rental rates. We have continued to see signs of improvement for many of our tenants as well as increased interest from prospective tenants for our spaces. While there can be no assurance that these positive signs will continue, we remain cautiously optimistic regarding the trends we have seen over the past few years. We believe the locations of our properties and diverse tenant base mitigate the potentially negative impact of a poor economic environment. However, any reduction in our tenants' abilities to pay base rent, percentage rent or other charges, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
29
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we signed 14 comparable leases (7 new lease and 7 renewals) for a total of 30,631 square feet of comparable space, at an average rental rate increase of 16.0% on a cash basis and an average rental increase of 15.9% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable office spaces were signed for 17,595 square feet at an average rental rate increase of 29.0% on a cash basis and increase of 36.4% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable office spaces were signed for 13,036 square feet at an average rental rate decrease of 3.0% on a cash basis and increase of 1.1% on a straight-line basis.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we signed 32 comparable leases (9 new leases and 23 renewals) for a total of 97,621 square feet of comparable space, at an average rental rate increase of 6.0% on a cash basis and an average rental increase of 20.3% on a straight-line basis. New leases for comparable office spaces were signed for 20,661 square feet at an average rental rate increase of 25.0% on a cash basis and increase of 31.2% on a straight-line basis. Renewals for comparable office spaces were signed for 76,960 square feet at an average rental rate increase of 1.0% on a cash basis and increase of 17.9% on a straight-line basis.
Impact of Downtime and Rental Rate Changes
The downtime between lease expiration and new lease commencement, typically ranging from 6-24 months, can negatively impact total NOI and same-store property NOI. In addition, commercial property leases, both new and lease renewals typically contain upfront rental and/or operating expense abatement periods which delay the cash flow benefits of the lease even after the new lease or renewal has commenced. If we are unable to replace expiring leases with new or renewal leases at rental rates equal to or greater than the expiring rates, rental rate roll downs can also negatively impact total NOI and same-store property NOI comparisons. Most of our leases are shorter than seven years and therefore the rental rate roll downs should not have a significant effect on future years. Our geographically diverse portfolio model results in rent renewal rates that can fluctuate widely on a market by market basis; however, given the volume of leasing activity over the last several years, we estimate that our portfolio, taken as a whole, is currently at market. Total NOI and same-store property NOI comparisons for any given period may still fluctuate as a result of rent roll ups and roll downs, however, depending on the leasing activity in individual geographic markets during the respective period.
