Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2018
Note 1 - Organization and Background
One Liberty Properties, Inc. ("OLP") was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland. OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT"). OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial, retail (including furniture stores and supermarkets), restaurant, health and fitness, and theater properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of March 31, 2018, OLP owns 119 properties, including five properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 119 properties are located in 30 states.
Note 2 - Summary Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in OLP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities ("VIEs") of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as the "Company". Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 2 - Summary Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Company assesses the accounting treatment for each of its investments, including a review of each venture or limited liability company or partnership agreement, to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. The agreements typically contain certain protective rights, such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In situations where, among other things, the Company and its partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint venture's tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at a property, the Company does not consolidate as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture or property. Additionally, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for any interests pursuant to which the Company may have a variable interest as a lessor. Leases may contain certain protective rights, such as the right of sale and the receipt of certain escrow deposits.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs. In addition, the Company shares power with its co-managing members over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.
The Company periodically reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered based on the underlying assets of the investment is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no impairment charges related to the Company's investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company has elected to follow the cumulative earnings approach when assessing, for the consolidated statement of cash flows, whether the distribution from the investee is a return of the investor's investment as compared to a return on its investment. The source of the cash generated by the investee to fund the distribution is not a factor in the analysis (that is, it does not matter whether the cash was generated through investee refinancing, sale of assets or operating results). Consequently, the investor only considers the relationship between the cash received from the investee to its equity in the undistributed earnings of the investee, on a cumulative basis, in assessing whether the distribution from the investee is a return on or return of its investment. Cash received from the unconsolidated entity is presumed to be a return on the investment to the extent that, on a cumulative basis, distributions received by the investor are less than its share of the equity in the undistributed earnings of the entity.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation, primarily to change the presentation of restricted cash on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The change was made because, as of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this ASU has no impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, net income or accumulated undistributed net income for the periods presented.
As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the following table depicts the adjustments to the Company's previously reported consolidated statement of cash flows (amounts in thousands):

Amounts included in restricted cash represent the cash reserve balance received from an owner/operator at one of the Company's ground leases to cover certain unit renovation work (see Note 6). Restricted cash included in escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables represent amounts related to real estate tax and other reserve escrows required to be held by lenders in accordance with the Company's mortgage agreements. The restriction on these escrow reserves will lapse when the related mortgage is repaid.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the unvested restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. As of March 31, 2018, the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded under the 2016 Incentive Plan are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities. The restricted stock units issued pursuant to the 2009 and 2016 Incentive Plans are referred to as "RSUs".
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company.
The following table identifies the impact to the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock related to the RSUs under the plans identified in the table below:

Not included are the remaining 513 shares that would be issued pursuant to the capital performance metric and the 38,125 shares that would be issued pursuant to a stockholder return metric as the required service or performance metrics were not met.

Note 4 - Real Estate Acquisition
On March 28, 2018, the Company acquired, in a sale-leaseback transaction, an industrial facility located in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania for $12,675,000, leased through 2028, to two tenants affiliated with the seller. The Company determined the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction does not meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. As such, direct transaction costs of $225,000 associated with this asset acquisition has been capitalized to real estate assets and depreciated over the respective useful lives.

Note 5 - Sale of Property
On January 30, 2018, the Company sold a property located in Fort Bend, Texas and owned by a consolidated joint venture in which the Company held an 85% interest, for $8,958,000, net of closing costs, and paid off the $4,410,000 mortgage. This property accounted for 0.3% and 1.1% of the Company's rental income, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The sale resulted in a gain of $2,408,000 which was recorded as Gain on sale of real estate, net, in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The non-controlling interest's share of the gain was $776,000.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets , using the modified retrospective transition method . As leasing is the Company's primary activity, the Company determined that its sales of real estate, which are nonfinancial assets, are sold to noncustomers and fall within the scope of ASC 610-20. The Company determined it would recognize the full gain on the sale of the Fort Bend, Texas property as the Company has no (i) controlling financial interest in the property and (ii) continuing interest or obligation with respect to the property sold. The Company re-assessed and determined there were no open contracts or partial sales and as such, the adoption of this ASU did not (i) result in a cumulative adjustment as of January 1, 2018, and (ii) have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures
Variable Interest Entities - Ground Leases
The Company determined that with respect to the properties identified in the table below, it has a variable interest through its ground leases and the three owner/operators (which are affiliated with one another) are VIEs because their equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs because the Company has shared power over certain activities that most significantly impact the owner/operator's economic performance ( i.e. , shared rights on the sale of the property) and therefore, does not consolidate these VIEs for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these investments as land and the revenues from the ground leases as Rental income, net. Such rental income amounted to $1,006,000 and $888,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(a) Simultaneously with each purchase, the Company entered into a triple net ground lease with affiliates of Strategic Properties of North America, the owner/operators of these properties.
(b) Simultaneously with the closing of each acquisition, the owner/operator obtained a mortgage from a third party which, together with the Company's purchase of the land, provided substantially all of the funds to acquire the complex. The Company provided its land as collateral for the respective owner/operator's mortgage loans; accordingly, each land position is subordinated to the applicable mortgage. No other financial support has been provided by the Company to the owner/operator.
(c) In November 2017, the owner/operator closed on a $7,556 supplemental mortgage (the original mortgage was for $43,824). In connection therewith, the Company agreed to subordinate its fee interest to this second mortgage in exchange for a payment by the owner/operator to the Company of $5,906 as a fixed rent payment which was recorded as deferred income and will be included in rental income over the term of the lease. The fixed rent payment balance was $5,816 and $5,870 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Pursuant to the terms of the ground lease for the Wheaton, Illinois property, the owner/operator is obligated to make certain unit renovations as and when units become vacant. Cash reserves to cover such renovation work, received by the Company in conjunction with the purchase of the property, are disbursed when the unit renovations are completed. The related cash reserve balance for this property was $429,000 and $443,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is included in Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures (Continued)
Variable Interest Entity - Consolidated Joint Ventures
With respect to the five consolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds between a 90% to 95% interest, the Company has determined such ventures are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not hold substantive kick-out or participating rights.
In each of these consolidated joint ventures, the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint venture's performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the operations of these joint ventures for financial statement purposes. The joint ventures' creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by these joint ventures.

On April 5, 2018, an unconsolidated joint venture sold its building and a portion of its land, located in Savannah, Georgia for $2,600,000, net of closing costs. The Company anticipates its 50% share of the gain from this sale will be approximately $70,000, which will be recognized in the three months ending June 30, 2018. The unconsolidated joint venture retained approximately 5 acres of land at this property.
Note 8 - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent and other payments.

The Company's 2016 Incentive Plan (‘‘Plan''), approved by the Company's stockholders in June 2016, permits the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to this Plan. As of March 31, 2018, (i) restricted stock awards with respect to 284,850 shares had been issued, of which 100 shares were forfeited and 3,000 shares had vested, and (ii) as further described below, RSUs with respect to 76,250 shares had been issued and are outstanding.
Under the Company's 2012 Incentive Plan, as of March 31, 2018, 500,700 shares had been issued, of which 3,350 shares were forfeited and 127,450 shares had vested. No additional awards may be granted under this plan.
For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The restricted stock grants are charged to General and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Unless earlier forfeited because the participant's relationship with the Company terminated, unvested restricted stock awards vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, and under certain circumstances may vest earlier.

Note 12 - Stock Based Compensation (Continued)
In 2017, the Company granted RSUs exchangeable for up to 76,250 shares of common stock upon satisfaction, through June 30, 2020, of specified conditions. Specifically, up to 50% of these RSUs vest upon achievement of metrics related to average annual total stockholder return (the "TSR Awards"), which metrics meet the definition of a market condition, and up to 50% vest upon achievement of metrics related to average annual return on capital (the "ROC Awards"), which metrics meet the definition of a performance condition. The holders of the RSUs are not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until such RSUs vest and shares are issued. Accordingly, the shares underlying these RSUs are not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet. For the ROC Awards, the performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly. Expense is not recognized on the RSUs which the Company does not expect to vest as a result of service conditions or the Company's performance expectations.
The total amount recorded as deferred compensation is $1,002,000, based on performance and market assumptions and will be charged to General and administrative expense over the three year performance cycle. None of these RSUs were forfeited or vested during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
In 2010, RSUs exchangeable for up to 200,000 shares of common stock were awarded pursuant to the Company's 2009 Incentive Plan. The holders of RSUs were not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until the RSUs vested and the underlying shares were issued. During 2017, 113,584 shares of common stock underlying the RSUs were deemed to have vested and were issued. RSUs with respect to the balance of 86,416 shares were forfeited.

As of March 31, 2018, total compensation costs of $9,118,000 and $816,000 related to non-vested restricted stock awards and RSUs, respectively, have not yet been recognized. These compensation costs will be charged to General and administrative expense over the remaining respective vesting periods. The weighted average vesting period is 2.9 years for the restricted stock and 2.3 years for the RSUs.
Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other "observable" market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on "unobservable" market inputs.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables (excluding interest rate swaps), dividends payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities (excluding interest rate swaps), are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.
At March 31, 2018, the $393,349,000 estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is greater than their $393,085,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $264,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.25% based on the 8.7 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages. At December 31, 2017, the $397,103,000 estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is greater than their $396,946,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $157,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.25% based on the 8.7 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.
At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amount of the Company's line of credit (before unamortized deferred financing costs) of $20,900,000 and $9,400,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.
The fair value of the Company's mortgages payable and line of credit are estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The Company does not own any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis and that are classified as Level 1 or 3.
The Company's objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.
Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. As of March 31, 2018, the Company has assessed and determined the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had entered into 28 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 28 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $132,039,000 notional amount and mature between 2018 and 2028 (weighted average remaining term to maturity of 6.8 years). Such interest rate swaps, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges, converted LIBOR based variable rate mortgages to fixed annual rate mortgages (with interest rates ranging from 3.02% to 5.38% and a weighted average interest rate of 4.11% at March 31, 2018). The fair values of the Company's derivatives in asset and

liability positions are reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Three of the Company's unconsolidated joint ventures, in which wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are 50% partners, had two interest rate derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2018 which were designated as cash flow hedges. One of these interest rate swaps with a $7,022,000 notional amount has an interest rate of 3.49% and matures in 2022. The other interest rate swap with a $3,402,000 notional amount had an interest rate of 5.81%. In connection with the sale of one of these unconsolidated joint venture properties in Savannah, Georgia, this swap was terminated when the related mortgage was paid off at its maturity in April 2018 (see Note 7).

No gain or loss was recognized with respect to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company's cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
During the twelve months ending March 31, 2019, the Company estimates an additional $94,000 will be reclassified from other Accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to Interest expense and $12,000 will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
The derivative agreements in effect at March 31, 2018 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to the agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiary's derivative obligation. In addition, the Company is a party to the derivative agreements and if there is a default by the subsidiary on the loan subject to the derivative agreement to which the Company is a party and if there are swap breakage losses on account of the derivative being terminated early, then the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses, if any.
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position, including accrued interest of $24,000 and $53,000, respectively, but excluding any adjustments for nonperformance risk, was approximately $436,000 and $1,638,000, respectively. In the event the Company breaches any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations thereunder at their termination liability value of $436,000 and $1,638,000 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. This termination liability value, net of adjustments for nonperformance risk of $29,000 and $93,000, is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Note 14 - Commitments
The Company is contractually required to expend approximately $7,800,000 through 2018 for building expansion and improvements at its property tenanted by L-3 Communications, located in Hauppauge, New York, of which $5,256,000 has been spent through March 31, 2018.
Note 15 - New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which amends the presentation and disclosure requirements for hedge accounting and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. This ASU is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies' risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and its adoption did not have any impact on the Company's previously reported income from operations, net income or accumulated undistributed net income for the periods presented.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine if, and to the extent, it will impact the consolidated financial statements.

Note 15 - New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases , which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard. The Company anticipates adopting this guidance effective as of January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU No. 2014-09, ASU No. 2015-14 and ASU No. 2016-08 are herein collectively referred to as the "New Revenue Recognition Standards". The Company adopted the New Revenue Recognition Standards on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company's main revenue streams are rental revenues and tenant reimbursements. Such revenues are related to lease contracts with tenants which currently fall within the scope of ASC Topic 840, and will fall within the scope of ASC Topic 842 upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 (the Company's sales of real estate are within the scope of ASU No. 2017-05, see Note 5). Accordingly, the adoption of the New Revenue Recognition Standards did not (i) result in a cumulative adjustment as of January 1, 2018, and (ii) have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 16 - Subsequent Events
From April 1, 2018 through May 7, 2018, the Company sold 10,600 shares through its equity offering program for proceeds of $254,000, net of commissions of $2,600. There were no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Subsequent events have been evaluated and except as disclosed herein, there were no other events relative to the consolidated financial statements that require additional disclosure.

Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, incorporated in Maryland in 1982. To qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.
We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial, retail (including furniture stores and supermarkets), restaurant, health and fitness and theater properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of March 31, 2018, we own 119 properties (including five properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) located in 30 states. Based on square footage, our occupancy rate at March 31, 2018 is approximately 99.1%.
We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business. Among other things, we face the possibility that we will not be able to acquire accretive properties on acceptable terms, lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all, our tenants may not be able to pay their rental and other obligations and we may not be able to renew or relet, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring or otherwise terminating.
We seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by diversifying among types of properties, industries, locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations, mortgage maturities and lenders, and by seeking to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Substantially all of our mortgage debt either bears interest at fixed rates or is subject to interest rate swaps, limiting our exposure to fluctuating interest rates on our outstanding mortgage debt.
25
Table of Contents
We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenant's financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements or other financial information, obtaining other tenant related information, regular contact with tenant's representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenant's financial condition is unsatisfactory.
In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination.
We are sensitive to the risks facing the retail industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce. We are addressing our exposure to the retail industry by seeking to acquire industrial properties that we believe capitalize on e-commerce activities, such as e-commerce distribution and warehousing facilities, and by being especially selective in acquiring retail properties. Approximately 39.8% of our contractual rental income (as described below) is derived from retail tenants (including 8.9%, 4.0% and 3.5% from tenants engaged in retail furniture, supermarkets and office supply activities, respectively) and 37.6%, 5.3%, 4.9%, 4.5%, 3.2% and 4.7% from industrial ( e.g. , distribution and warehouse facilities), residential ground leases, restaurant, health and fitness, theaters and other properties, respectively.
Our contractual rental income is approximately $68.4 million and represents, after giving effect to any abatements, concessions or adjustments, the base rent payable to us during the twelve months ending December 31, 2018 under leases in effect at March 31, 2018. Contractual rental income excludes: (i) approximately $794,000 of straight-line rent and $1.0 million of amortization of intangibles; and (ii) our share of the rental income payable to our unconsolidated joint ventures, which is approximately $2.4 million (excluding $124,000 of rental income payable from a property sold in April 2018).

Property Transactions During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
On March 28, 2018, we acquired, in a sales-leaseback transaction, an industrial facility in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania for approximately $12.9 million, including $225,000 of transaction costs that were capitalized. The facility is leased to each of Campania International Inc. and U.S. Tape Company through 2028. We estimate that commencing April 1, 2018, the quarterly rental income and depreciation expense from this property will be approximately $239,000 and $77,000, respectively.
On January 30, 2018, we sold a retail property located in Fort Bend, Texas and owned by a consolidated joint venture in which we held an 85% interest, for approximately $9.0 million, net of closing costs, and paid off the $4.4 million mortgage. We recognized a gain of $2.4 million, of which the non-controlling interest's share was $776,000. This property contributed $732,000 of rental income net, $158,000 of depreciation and amortization expense and $198,000 of mortgage interest expense in 2017.
Property Transaction Subsequent to March 31, 2018
On April 5, 2018, an unconsolidated joint venture sold its building and a portion of its land, located in Savannah, Georgia for $2.6 million, net of closing costs. We anticipate that our 50% share of the gain from this sale, which will be recognized in the three months ending June 30, 2018, will be approximately $70,000. In connection with the sale of this property, the joint venture and its affiliates repaid the $3.4 million mortgage balance which encumbered their contiguous properties.

Rental income, net. The increase is due primarily to $813,000 generated by four properties acquired in 2017 and a net $229,000 from same store properties (as defined below). Offsetting the increase in rental income is a decrease of $294,000 representing the 2017 rental income from properties sold during 2018 and 2017. Same store properties refer to properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented.
Tenant reimbursements. Real estate tax and operating expense reimbursements increased due primarily to reimbursements of (i) $179,000 from several same store properties and (ii) $175,000 from properties acquired in 2017. Tenant reimbursements generally relate to real estate expenses incurred in the same period.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease is due primarily to (i) $583,000 from the sales of properties in 2017 and 2018 and (ii) the inclusion, during the three months ended March 31, 2017, of $219,000 for the write-off of tenant origination costs related to a vacant property. Offsetting the decrease is a $372,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expense on the properties acquired in 2017.
General and administrative. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was due primarily to an $84,000 increase in non-cash compensation expense related to (i) the increase in the number of shares and the higher value of the restricted stock granted in 2018 in comparison to the awards granted in 2013 that vested in 2018 and (ii) the higher value of the pay-for-performance restricted stock units awarded in September 2017 in comparison to the

pay-for-performance restricted stock units awards granted in 2010 that vested in 2017. The balance of the increase is due primarily to higher compensation levels and an additional employee.

The decrease is due primarily to decreases in the average interest rate on outstanding mortgage debt and the average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding. The decrease in the average interest rate is due to the financing (including financings effectuated in connection with acquisitions) or refinancing in 2018 and 2017 of $29.1 million of gross mortgage debt (including $2.9 million of refinanced amounts) with an average interest rate of
29
Table of Contents
approximately 3.9%. The decrease in the average balance outstanding is due substantially to the payoff of a $4.4 million mortgage in connection with the sale of our Fort Bend, Texas property in January 2018.
Gain on sale of real estate, net.
The gain in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was realized from the sale of the Fort Bend, Texas property. The non-controlling interest's share of the gain was $776,000. There were no sales of properties in the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity and capital include cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans, obtaining mortgage loans secured by our unencumbered properties, issuance of our equity securities and property sales. Our available liquidity at May 2, 2018, was $90.8 million, including $6.1 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of the credit facility's required $3.0 million deposit maintenance balance) and, subject to borrowing base requirements, up to $84.7 million available under our revolving credit facility.
Liquidity and Financing
We expect to meet our (i) operating cash requirements (including debt service and dividends) principally from cash flow from operations and (ii) capital requirements of $2.5 million of building expansion and improvements at our property tenanted by L-3 located in Hauppauge, New York, from cash flow from operations, our available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of our common stock and, to the extent permitted, our credit facility. We and our joint venture partner are also contemplating a significant redevelopment of our multi-tenant shopping center in Manahawkin, New Jersey-we anticipate that the capital expenditures that may be incurred if such property is redeveloped will be funded by the foregoing sources as well as equity contributions from us and our joint venture partner.
At March 31, 2018, excluding mortgage indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we had 68 outstanding mortgages payable secured by 85 properties, in the aggregate principal amount of $393.1 million (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs). These mortgages represent first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate carrying value of $620.4 million, before accumulated depreciation of $84.2 million. After giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, the mortgage payments bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.02% to 6.45% (a 4.24% weighted average interest rate) and mature between 2018 and 2042 (an 8.7 year weighted average remaining term to maturity).
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2018, information with respect to our mortgage debt that is payable from April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021 (excluding our unconsolidated joint ventures):

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2018, our unconsolidated joint ventures had first mortgages on four properties with outstanding balances aggregating $34.8 million, bearing interest at rates ranging from 3.49% to 5.81% (i.e., a 4.07% weighted average interest rate) and maturing between 2018 and 2025. A mortgage in principal amount of $3.4 million and an interest rate of 5.81% was paid off at its maturity in April 2018 in connection with the sale of a joint venture property in Savannah, Georgia.
We intend to make debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and, though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, generally intend to refinance, extend or payoff the mortgage loans which mature in 2018 through 2021. We intend to repay the amounts not refinanced or extended from our existing funds and sources of funds, including our available cash, proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our credit facility (to the extent available).
We continually seek to refinance existing mortgage loans on terms we deem acceptable to generate additional liquidity. Additionally, in the normal course of our business, we sell properties when we determine that it is in our best interests, which also generates additional liquidity. Further, since each of our encumbered properties is subject to a non-recourse mortgage (with standard carve-outs), if our in-house evaluation of the market value of such property is less than the principal balance outstanding on the mortgage loan, we may determine to convey, in certain circumstances, such property to the mortgagee in order to terminate our mortgage obligations, including payment of interest, principal and real estate taxes, with respect to such property.
Typically, we utilize funds from our credit facility to acquire a property and, thereafter secure long-term, fixed rate mortgage debt on such property. We apply the proceeds from the mortgage loan to repay borrowings under the credit facility, thus providing us with the ability to re-borrow under the credit facility for the acquisition of additional properties.
Credit Facility
Subject to borrowing base requirements, we can borrow up to $100.0 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility which is available to us for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, property improvements and general working capital purposes; provided, that if used for property improvements and working capital purposes, the amount outstanding for such purposes will not exceed the lesser of $15.0 million and 15% of the borrowing base and if used for working capital purposes, will not exceed $10.0 million. The facility matures December 31, 2019 and bears interest equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 175 basis points if our ratio of total debt to total value (as calculated pursuant to the facility) is equal to or less than 50%, increasing to a maximum of 300 basis points if such ratio is greater than 65%. The applicable margin was 175 basis points at March 31, 2018 and 2017. At March 31, 2018 and 2017, the interest rate was 3.49% and 2.52%, respectively. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and $100 million. The credit facility requires the maintenance of $3.0 million in average deposit balances.
The terms of our revolving credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of debt to value, the minimum level of net income, certain investment limitations and the
31
Table of Contents
minimum value of unencumbered properties and the number of such properties. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility. At March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants under this facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than with respect to our properties located in Lakemoor and Wheaton, Illinois and Beachwood, Ohio. These properties are ground leases improved by multi-family properties and generated $1.0 million of rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2018. At March 31, 2018, our maximum exposure to loss with respect to these properties is $34.0 million, representing the carrying value of the land; such leasehold positions are subordinate to an aggregate of $158.2 million of mortgage debt incurred by our tenants, the owner/operators of the multi-family properties. These owner/operators are affiliated with one another. We do not believe this type of off-balance sheet arrangement has been or will be material to our liquidity and capital resource positions. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these arrangements.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
We compute funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the ‘‘White Paper on Funds From Operations'' issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (‘‘NAREIT'') and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization (including amortization of deferred leasing costs), plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets. We compute adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adjusting from FFO for our straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting lease termination fees and gain on extinguishment of debt and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities (including our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures) and debt prepayment costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
32
Table of Contents
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is the effect of changes in interest rates on the interest cost of draws on our revolving variable rate credit facility and the effect of changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.
We use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk on variable rate mortgages. These swaps are used for hedging purposes-not for speculation. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for trading purposes. At March 31, 2018, our aggregate liability in the event of the early termination of our swaps was $436,000.
At March 31, 2018, we had 30 interest rate swap agreements outstanding (including two held by three of our unconsolidated joint ventures). The fair market value of the interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. As of March 31, 2018, if there had been an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have increased by approximately $7.0 million and the net unrealized gain on derivative instruments would have increased by $7.0 million. If there were a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have decreased by approximately $7.6 million and the net unrealized gain on derivative instruments would have decreased by $7.6 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.
Our mortgage debt, after giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, bears interest at fixed rates and accordingly, the effect of changes in interest rates would not impact the amount of interest expense that we incur under these mortgages.
Our variable rate credit facility is sensitive to interest rate changes. At March 31, 2018, a 100 basis point increase of the interest rate on this facility would increase our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $209,000 and a 100 basis point decrease of the interest rate would decrease our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $209,000.
The fair market value of our long-term debt is estimated based on discounting future cash flows at interest rates that our management believes reflect the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
