Item 1. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, formed to grow our business of acquiring, developing, financing, owning and managing build-to-suit or improved-to-suit, single-tenant properties leased primarily to the United States of America and administered by the GSA or directly by the federal government agencies or departments occupying such properties (referred to as “GSA Properties”). We invest primarily in GSA Properties in sizes that range from 5,000 to 50,000 rentable square feet that are in their first term after construction or improvement to post-9/11 standards. We further emphasize GSA Properties that fulfill mission critical or direct citizen service functions.  Leases associated with the GSA Properties in which our company invests are full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America. We intend to grow our portfolio primarily through acquisitions of single-tenanted, federal government-leased properties in such markets; although, at some point in the future we may elect to develop, or joint venture with others in the development of, competitively bid, built-to-suit, single-tenant, federal government-leased properties, or buy facilities that are leased to credit-worthy state or municipal tenants.
  
As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned 21 GSA Properties, comprised of 17 GSA Properties that we own in fee simple, one GSA Property that we own subject to a ground lease and three GSA Properties for which we have all of the rights to the profits, losses, any distributed cash flow and all of the other benefits and burdens of ownership including for federal income tax purposes, each of which is leased to the United States Government. Our portfolio of GSA Properties, or our portfolio, contains approximately 403,237 rentable square feet located in 13 states. As of June 30, 2020, our portfolio properties are 100% leased to the United States of America Government and occupied by 11 different federal government agencies. Based on net operating income of each property, our portfolio has a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.1 years if none of the early termination rights are exercised and 5.4 years if the early termination right are exercised.
 
Our Operating Partnership, through wholly-owned special purpose entities, or SPEs, holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of June 30, 2020, we owned approximately 56.51% of the aggregate common limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, or common units. We also own all of the preferred limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. We were formed in 2016 as a Maryland corporation and we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.
 
Our Predecessor
 
The term, “our predecessor”, refers to Holmwood and its three remaining, consolidated, single purpose, wholly owned subsidiaries. Each such remaining subsidiary holds the fee interest in a GSA Property, the rights to the profits from, the leases for, any distributed cash flow from, and all of the benefits and burdens of ownership, including for federal income tax purposes, of which were contributed to our Operating Partnership by Holmwood on May 26, 2017. 
 
2019 Recapitalization Transaction
 
On March 19, 2019, we consummated a recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) with Hale Partnership Capital Management, LLC (“Hale”), a company founded by Steven A. Hale II, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and certain affiliated investors (each, a “Recapitalization Investor” and collectively, the “Recapitalization Investors”), pursuant to which (i) certain of such Recapitalization Investors provided a $10,500,000 mezzanine loan to us through our Operating Partnership, (ii) certain of such Recapitalization Investors purchased 1,050,000 shares of our 10.00% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and (iii) a Recapitalization Investor purchased 300,000 shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”).

Operating Results
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2020
 
At June 30, 2020, our portfolio contained 21 GSA Properties consisting of 403,237 rentable square feet located in 13 states. Our properties are 100% leased to the United States of America Government and occupied by 11 different federal government agencies. On April 30, 2020, we acquired a 12,470 rentable square foot, build-to-suit, single-tenant building 100% leased to the United States of America Government, administered by the GSA, and occupied by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, for approximately $5,213,000. The lease commenced on November 1, 2019 and has a firm term of 15 years.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we earned revenues of $6,393,219 and incurred property operating costs of $1,936,414. Our net operating income for the period was $4,456,805. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s net loss was $2,755,423. Our net loss attributed to our common stockholders was $2,243,097 after allocating $1,299,894 of the Company’s net loss to the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership and after deducting preferred stock dividends of $787,568.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2019
 
At June 30, 2019, our portfolio contained 17 properties consisting of 341,776 rentable square feet located in 12 states. At June 30, 2019, our properties were 100% leased to the United States of America Government and occupied by 10 different federal government agencies. On May 1, 2019, we acquired a 21,124 rentable square foot, build-to-suit, single-tenant, community-based outpatient clinic leased to and administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs for $5,150,000.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we earned revenues of $4,962,540 and incurred property operating costs of $1,547,467. Our net operating income for the period was $3,415,073. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s net loss was $5,268,095. Our net loss attributed to our common stockholders was $4,751,280, after allocating $962,389 of the Company’s net loss to the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership and after deducting preferred stock dividends of $445,574.
 
Calculating Net Operating Income
 
We believe that our net operating income, or NOI, a non-GAAP measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense and asset management fees. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to the NOI of other REITs. We believe that NOI, as we calculate it, provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis, because NOI more meaningfully reflects the core operations of our properties as well as their performance by excluding items not related to property operating performance and by capturing trends in property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

The following table reflects property contributions to combined NOI together with a reconciliation of NOI to net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our business model is intended to drive growth through acquisitions. Our Recapitalization Transaction and KeyBank Transaction (as defined below) provided us with liquidity through both debt and equity investments. This allowed us to refinance our existing debt and provided us with additional capital to continue pursuing our acquisition strategies. In addition, access to the capital markets is an important factor for our continued success. In November 2019, our securities offering pursuant to Regulation A (the “Offering”) expired and we did not file a post-qualification amendment to extend the Offering. While we have currently elected to not continue to issue equity under Regulation A, we expect to continue to issue equity in our company with proceeds being used to acquire GSA Properties or buy facilities that are leased to credit-worthy state or municipal tenants. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $7,255,132 available in cash and cash equivalents.
 
Liquidity General
 
Our need for liquidity will be primarily to fund (i) operating expenses and cash dividends and distributions; (ii) property acquisitions; (iii) capital expenditures; (iv) payment of principal of, and interest on, outstanding indebtedness; and (v) other investments, consistent with our Investment Guidelines and Investment Policies.
 
Capital Resources
 
Our capital resources are substantially related to (i) our 2019 Recapitalization Transaction, (ii) KeyBank Transaction (as defined below), and (iii) the Series C Offering (as defined below). In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, we received a $10,500,000 mezzanine loan through our Operating Partnership pursuant to a certain loan agreement, $10,500,000 through the issuance of our Series B Preferred Stock and $3,000,000 through the issuance of our common stock. This capital was primarily used to pay off existing debt, including accrued interest, in the aggregate amount of $20,139,316 comprised of $9,708,581 to pay off various debt affiliated with our former directors and officers or their affiliates, $1,439,557 of unsecured promissory notes payable to accredited investors, and $8,991,178 to pay off a loan cross-collateralized by four of our properties. The remaining $3,860,684 received from the Recapitalization Transaction was used to pay transaction-related expenses and past due accounts payable, with the balance reserved for general working capital purposes including pursuing and making acquisitions.
 
 
5
 
 
The Recapitalization Transaction permitted the issuance of up to an additional $10,000,000 of Series B Preferred Stock and the borrowing of up to an additional $10,000,000 of mezzanine debt, which was later increased in October 2019 to an additional $13,500,000 of mezzanine debt in the aggregate. In May 2019, we issued an additional $1,300,000 of Series B Preferred Stock and borrowed an additional $1,300,000 in mezzanine debt to partially finance our acquisition of our portfolio property in Monroe, Louisiana. In June 2019, we borrowed an additional $2,000,000 of mezzanine debt to partially refinance the mortgage debt on our portfolio property in San Antonio, Texas. In October 2019, we borrowed an additional $7,000,000 of mezzanine debt to partially finance our acquisition of our portfolio properties in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Lawrence, Kansas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In April 2020, we issued an additional $8,250,000 of Series B Preferred Stock to partially finance our acquisition of our portfolio property in Birmingham, Alabama. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $450,000 in authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and $20,800,000 of mezzanine debt outstanding and $3,200,000 of mezzanine debt available.
 
In October 2019, we also entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility with KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as sole bookrunner and lead arranger, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent and administrative agent, in connection with which we obtained commitments in an initial amount of $60,000,000 (the “KeyBank Transaction”) and borrowed an initial principal amount of $60,000,000 in order to refinance certain existing indebtedness and to partially finance our acquisition of our portfolio properties in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Lawrence, Kansas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In December 2019, the senior secured revolving credit facility was increased to provide total availability of up to $100,000,000, subject to customary terms and availability conditions. The senior secured revolving credit facility includes an accordion feature that will permit the Company to further increase the amount of commitments available to the Company, up to $200,000,000, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company intends to use the senior secured revolving credit facility to repay certain indebtedness, fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and provide working capital.
 
As of June 30, 2020, we had borrowed approximately $64,900,000 and had approximately $35,100,000 committed and undrawn under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
 
On August 14, 2020, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s 7.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) to qualified investors in a private offering pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for an aggregate purchase price of $90,000,000 (the “Series C Offering”). After deducting a placement agent fee of $2,835,000, net proceeds to the Company from the Series C Offering were $87,165,000. On August 14, 2020, the Company used $21,846,295 and $62,100,000 of the net proceeds from the Series C Offering to repay all outstanding mezzanine debt and amounts outstanding under the credit facility, respectively, as of such date. For further details, see Note 14 Subsequent Events in Item 3 - Financial Statements below.
 
Trend Information
 
Our Company, through our Operating Partnership is engaged primarily in the acquisition, leasing and disposition of single-tenanted, mission critical or customer facing properties, leased to the United States of America Government throughout the country. As full faith and credit obligations of the United States these leases offer risk-adjusted returns that are attractive, inasmuch as there continues to be no appreciable yield of comparable credit quality in the marketplace.
 
Prior to our Recapitalization Transaction, our Company had been capital constrained, which affected liquidity adversely from an operating perspective and the ability of our Company to manage several viable acquisition opportunities at the same time. We believe the Recapitalization Transaction enabled management to accelerate its acquisition plans and provided much needed liquidity to our Company during 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2020. While there can be no assurance, we believe our credit facility and the proceeds of the Series C Offering will support our Company’s growth strategy, provide liquidity to recruit and retain qualified personnel, and enhance purchasing power for goods and services in connection with the operation of our portfolio properties.
 
We are not aware of any material trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events, favorable or unfavorable, other than the effect of national economic conditions and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on real estate generally, that may reasonably be anticipated to have a material effect on our revenue or income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause our reported financial information to not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or our financial condition.

HC Government Realty Trust, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
1. 
Organization
 
HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on March 11, 2016 to primarily source, acquire, own and manage built-to-suit and improved-to-suit, single-tenant properties leased by the United States of America through the U.S General Services Administration (“GSA Properties”). The REIT focuses primarily on GSA Properties within size ranges of 5,000 to 50,000 rentable square feet, and in their first term after construction or retrofit to post-9/11 standards. Further, the REIT selects GSA Properties that fulfill mission critical or citizen service functions. Leases associated with GSA Properties are full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America and are administered by the U.S. General Services Administration or directly through the occupying federal agencies (collectively the “GSA”).
 
The REIT owns its properties through the REIT’s subsidiary, HC Government Realty Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership” and together with the REIT, the “Company”). The Operating Partnership invests through wholly-owned special purpose limited liability companies, or special purpose entities (“SPEs”). As of June 30, 2020, the Company owned approximately 56.51% of the aggregate common limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, or common units, and all of the preferred limited partnership interests, or preferred units.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and related SPEs and the accounts of the REIT. As of June 30, 2020, the financial statements reflect the operations of 21 GSA Properties representing 403,237 rentable square feet located in 13 states. The properties are 100% leased to the government of the United States of America and based on net operating income, have a weighted average remaining lease term as of June 30, 2020 of 9.1 years if none of the early termination rights are exercised and 5.4 years if all of the early termination rights are exercised. The Company operates as an UPREIT, or an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2017.
 
2. 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Accounting and Consolidation Basis - The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the REIT, the Operating Partnership and 21 SPEs as of June 30, 2020. Of the SPEs, 18 are wholly-owned entities that are consolidated based upon the Company having a controlling financial interest, and three SPEs are consolidated variable interest entities based upon management’s determination that the Operating Partnership has a variable interest in the entities and is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included from the dates of acquisition.
 
In our opinion, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with GAAP have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial position. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein may not be indicative of the results expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 1-K.
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
 
 
12
 
 
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash - Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments that mature three months or less from when they are purchased. Restricted cash consists of amounts escrowed for future real estate taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures, as required by certain of the Company’s mortgage debt agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the totals of the same such amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
 
 
 
As of June 30,
 
 
 
(unaudited)
 
 
 
2020
 
 
2019
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 $7,255,132 
 $3,100,556 
Restricted cash
  165,164 
  1,840,151 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
 $7,420,296 
 $4,940,707 
 
At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance deposited with financial institutions may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company maintains separate cash balances at the operating partnership and SPE level. At June 30, 2020, one account had $6,435,062 in excess of insured limits; all others were below the insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in connection with such deposits. 
 
Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease - In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on business combinations, the Company determines the fair value of the real estate assets acquired on an “as if vacant” basis.
 
Management estimates the “as if vacant” value considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the buildings, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows, and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. The “as if vacant” fair value is allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property, including appraisals and property tax assessments.
 
Above-market and below-market lease values are determined on a lease-by-lease basis based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risk associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid under the lease and (b) management’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding space over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the related leases. Above (below) market lease values are recorded as leasehold intangibles and are recognized as an increase or decrease in rental income over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. Amortization relating to above (below) market leases for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $75,505 and $76,553, respectively, and was recorded as a reduction to rental revenues.
 
In-place leases are valued in consideration of the net rents earned that would have been foregone during an assumed lease-up period. Lease-up costs are valued based upon avoided brokerage fees. In-place leases and lease-up costs are amortized over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. The Company has not recognized any value attributable to customer relationships.
 
Management utilizes independent third parties to assist with the determination of fair value of the various tangible and intangible assets that are acquired. The difference between the total of the calculated values described above, and the actual purchase price plus acquisition costs, is allocated pro-rata to each component of calculated value.
 
The cost of tenant improvements is capitalized and amortized over the non-cancelable term of each specific lease.
 
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred that extend the useful life of the real estate investment are capitalized.
 
 
13
 
 
Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is calculated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Range of useful lives for depreciable assets are as follows:
 
Category
 
Term
Buildings
 
40 years
Building and site improvements
 
5 - 40 years
Tenant improvements
 
Shorter of remaining life of the lease or useful life
 
 
Tenant Improvements - As part of the leasing process, the Company may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among other things, who holds legal title to the improvements as well as other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement and provisions for substantiation of such costs (e.g., unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease.
  
Leases - The Company’s real estate is leased to tenants on a modified gross lease basis. The leases provide for a minimum rent which is generally flat during the non-cancelable term of the lease and include a reimbursement for certain operating costs of the property. The operating cost reimbursement is established as the base year operating expenses and is subject to annual adjustment based on changes in the consumer price index. The lessee is also required by the lease to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes over the base year. Operating expenses include repairs and maintenance, cleaning, landscaping and utilities. In some cases, the leases provide the tenant with renewal options, subject to generally the same terms and conditions of the base term of the lease. The Company accounts for its leases using the operating method.
 
Operating method – Properties with leases accounted for using the operating method are recorded at the cost of the real estate. Revenue is recognized as rentals are earned and expenses (including depreciation and amortization) are charged to operations as incurred. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Tenant improvements and leasehold intangibles are amortized on the straight-line method over the terms of their respective leases. When scheduled rentals vary during the lease term, income is recognized on a straight-line basis so as to produce a constant periodic rent over the term of the lease.
 
Impairment – Real Estate - The Company reviews investments in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. To determine if impairment may exist, the Company reviews its properties and identifies those that have experienced either a change or an event or circumstance warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, the Company estimates the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition, on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not recognized any impairment charges.
 
Organizational, Offering and Related Costs - Organizational and offering costs of the Company are presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Organizational and offering costs represent expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the filing of the Company’s securities offering pursuant to Regulation A.
 
Revenue Recognition - Revenue includes base rent due from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective lease. The Company recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the respective lease. Revenue also includes reimbursement income from the recovery of all or a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes and are recognized in the same periods as the related expenses are incurred. For newly acquired properties, the Company begins to recognize rental income from leases concurrently with the date of the property acquisition closing. Revenue also includes the amortization or accretion of acquired above (below) market leases over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method and applied it to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and replaced the existing revenue recognition guidance.  The adoption of Topic 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s historical financial statements as the majority of the Company’s revenue does not fall under the scope of this guidance.
 
Rents and Other Tenant Receivables net - Rents and other tenant receivables represent amounts billed and due from tenants. When a portion of the tenants’ receivable is estimated to be uncollectible, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. Due to the high credit worthiness of the tenants, there were no allowances as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has a straight-line rent receivable of $16,300 and $3,000 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
 
Income Taxes The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT qualification beginning with its fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. In order to maintain this REIT status, the regulations require the Company to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and meet certain other asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates for the years in which it fails to qualify. If the Company loses its REIT status it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year it loses its REIT status unless the Company’s failure to qualify was due to reasonable cause and certain other conditions were satisfied.
 
Management analyzes the Company’s tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years. If, based on this analysis, management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established along with an estimate for interest and penalty. Management has determined that there were no uncertain tax positions; accordingly, no associated interest and penalties were required to be accrued at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
 
Noncontrolling Interest - Noncontrolling interest represents the common units in the Operating Partnership not attributable to the REIT. The noncontrolling interest is calculated by multiplying the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage at the balance sheet date by the Operating Partnership’s common equity. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the Operating Partnership common units not owned by the REIT by the total Operating Partnership common units outstanding. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage will change as additional common units are issued or as common units are exchanged for the REIT’s common stock. Subsequent changes in the noncontrolling interest value are recorded to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the value of the noncontrolling interest is included in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets but presented separately from the REIT’s equity. The REIT’s noncontrolling interest was 43.5% and 45.3% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
 
Deferred Costs – Deferred financing fees include costs incurred in obtaining debt. For debt other than a line-of credit arrangement, deferred financing fees are capitalized and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees related to line-of-credit arrangements are capitalized and presented as an asset within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees are amortized through interest expense over the life of the respective loans on a basis which approximates the effective interest method for debt other than a line-of credit arrangement or straight-line over the contractual term of the arrangement for a line-of-credit arrangement. Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of debt are written off in the period of repayment as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

Stock Based Compensation – The Company grants equity-based compensation awards to its officers, employees and non-employee directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock and long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”). The Company recognizes compensation expense for non-vested restricted shares of common stock and LTIP Units granted to officers, employees and non-employee directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service and/or performance period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, as adjusted for forfeitures.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares, if any, that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
 
The following securities were not included in the computation of the Company’s diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - The Company has adopted reporting standards and disclosure requirements as a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, as amended. These rules provide scaled disclosure accommodations, the purpose of which is to provide general regulatory relief to qualifying entities.
  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions.  ASU 2016-02 will require organizations that lease assets referred to as “Lessees” to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. An organization is to provide disclosures designed to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements concerning additional information about the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.  The leasing standard will be effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, and a modified retrospective approach must be applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements. See Note 13 Commitments and Contingencies for the Company’s operating leases.
 
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Recapitalization Transaction
 
On March 19, 2019, the Company consummated a recapitalization transaction (the “Recapitalization Transaction”) with Hale Partnership Capital Management, LLC (“Hale”), a company founded by Steven A. Hale II, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and certain affiliated investors (each, a “Recapitalization Investor” and collectively, the “Recapitalization Investors”), pursuant to which (i) certain of such Recapitalization Investors provided a $10,500,000 mezzanine loan to the Company through the Operating Partnership, (ii) certain of such Recapitalization Investors purchased 1,050,000 shares of the Company’s 10.00% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) for proceeds of $10,500,000 and (iii) a Recapitalization Investor purchased 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for proceeds of $3,000,000.
 
The Company satisfied $10,698,000 of outstanding notes payable, $68,491 of accrued interest through March 19, 2019 and $381,647 of prepayment penalties on certain notes payable with proceeds from the Recapitalization Transaction. In addition, the Company satisfied four mortgages with an aggregate principal balance, net of escrows for property and insurance, of $8,991,178.
 
Transaction costs of the Recapitalization Transaction totaled $1,273,984. Of the transaction costs, $252,100 was paid to the Company’s law firm where our former President is a partner and our former Secretary is employed.

Variable Interest Entities
 
With respect to the three SPEs where Holmwood assigned to the Operating Partnership all its rights, title and interest in and to any and all profits, losses and distributed cash flow, management determined these SPEs to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) in which the Operating Partnership has a variable interest and that Holmwood equity holders lacked the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company determined in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 “Consolidation” to consolidate these SPEs.
 
A summary of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities that are included within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility
 
In October 2019, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as sole bookrunner and lead arranger, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent and administrative agent, in connection with which the Operating Partnership obtained revolving loan commitments in an initial amount of $60,000,000, subject to customary terms and availability conditions. In December 2019, the senior secured revolving credit facility was increased to provide total availability of up to $100,000,000, subject to customary terms and availability conditions. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that will permit the Operating Partnership to further increase the commitments available to the Operating Partnership up to $200,000,000, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company intends to use the Credit Facility to repay certain indebtedness, fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and provide working capital.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries that directly own properties included in the Credit Facility’s borrowing base are guarantors under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures in October 2022 with a one-time option to extend the maturity date until October 2023, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.
 
The Credit Facility bears interest at a base rate plus a range of 100 to 150 basis points or LIBOR plus a range of 200 to 250 basis points, each depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will pay an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility of 0.25% or 0.30% per annum based on the ratio of aggregate borrowings under the Credit Facility and the aggregate revolving commitments.
 
The Credit Facility also contains certain customary financial covenants, as follows: (i) the maximum ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total asset value (each as defined in the agreement) may not exceed 60.0%, (ii) the minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges (each as defined in the agreement) may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00 for the first 18 months following the closing date of the Credit Facility and not less than 1.50 to 1.00 thereafter, and (iii) the minimum consolidated tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) may not be less than the sum of an amount equal to 85.0% of consolidated tangible net worth as of the closing date of the Credit Facility plus an amount equal to 85.0% of the aggregate net proceeds received from subsequent issuances of the Company’s stock after the closing date of the Credit Facility.
 
The Credit Facility also includes other customary covenants, including limits on the percentage of the Company’s total asset value that may be invested in unimproved land, unconsolidated joint ventures, redevelopment and development assets and loans, advances or extensions of credit and require that the Company obtain consent for mergers in which the Company is not the surviving entity. The Company’s dividends and distributions are not permitted to exceed 110% of funds from operations (as defined in the agreement) for the period commencing 12 months after the closing of the Credit Facility and are not permitted to exceed 95% of funds from operations thereafter. Further, the Company will not be permitted to pay any such dividends or make any such distributions if it does not maintain certain minimum liquidity requirements.
 
 
21
 
 
These financial and restrictive covenants may limit the investments the Company may make and the Company’s ability to make dividends and distributions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is in compliance with all financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility could result in the termination of the commitments thereunder and in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable.
 
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $64,900,000 outstanding and approximately $35,100,000 committed and undrawn under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings was 2.43% as of June 30, 2020. The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying value.
 
Subsequent to the six month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Facility, including the financial covenants set forth therein, and used a portion of the net proceeds from the Series C Offering to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (as defined below). For further details, see Note 14 Subsequent Events, below.
 
Mezzanine Debt
 
In connection with the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, on March 19, 2019, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into a Loan Agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which certain of the Recapitalization Investors, as lenders (the “Lenders”) provided a $10,500,000 senior secured term loan to the Operating Partnership (the “Loan”), with an option to fund up to an additional $10,000,000 in term loans, subject to customary terms and conditions, pursuant to which all such debt will accrue interest and mature on the same terms (collectively, the “Mezzanine Debt”). The Loan Agreement was amended in October 2019 to increase the additional amount available to the Operating Partnership to $13,500,000. The Mezzanine Debt is subordinate to the Credit Facility.
 
The Loan is not evidenced by a promissory note. However, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, promissory notes evidencing the Loan and/or the Mezzanine Debt may be issued in the future at the request of the Lenders.
 
The Mezzanine Debt accrues interest at a rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum. Such interest is to be paid in monthly, interest-only cash payments payable in arrears at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum plus (i) a cash payment at a rate of two percent (2%) per annum, (ii) an increase in the principal of the Mezzanine Debt equal to two percent (2%) per annum or (iii) a combination of both (i) and (ii) above, which such combined amount will be equal to two percent (2%) per annum. The Operating Partnership is required to repay all outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on or before April 22, 2023. All outstanding principal and any accrued but unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable upon certain events including, but not limited to, an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock.
 
Before October 2019, the Mezzanine Debt was secured by a security interest granted in favor of HCM Agency, LLC (the “Agent”), an affiliate of Hale and the collateral agent under the Loan Agreement, in the accounts receivable and other personal property of the Operating Partnership, the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership’s ownership interest in its subsidiaries. In October 2019, the Loan Agreement was amended to release and discharge the security interest held by the Agent and cause the Loan to become unsecured. The Company and Holmwood Portfolio Holdings, LLC, a limited partner in the Operating Partnership, also entered into customary guaranty agreements related to the payment by and performance of the Operating Partnership of its obligations under the Loan Agreement.
 
The Loan Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties, covenants and terms and conditions for transactions of this type and consistent with the Credit Facility. The occurrence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement could result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2020.
 
 
22
 
 
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $20,800,000 outstanding and $3,200,000 available under the Loan Agreement.

Pursuant to an agreement, HCA was granted LTIP Units concurrent with each sale of the REIT’s common stock under the Offering. The LTIP Units vested over five years unless the Company terminated the Management Agreement with HCA, in which case, the vesting accelerated. Effective March 31, 2020, the Company terminated the Management Agreement with HCA and HCA’s LTIP Units became fully vested. As such, the Company recognized the remaining equity-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
 
 
25
 
 
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had granted 72,215 LTIP Units. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $363,501 and $72,249 of equity-based compensation expense, respectively.

The REIT’s noncontrolling interest was 43.5% and 45.3% at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Management Fees
 
In connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, on March 14, 2019, the Company provided notice to HCA, pursuant to the resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), that the Company elected to not renew the Management Agreement with HCA under its terms, effective March 31, 2020. With respect to the Management Agreement, the Company had contracted with HCA to provide asset management, acquisition and leasing services for the Company, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board.
 
Through March 31, 2020, HCA earned an asset management fee equal to 1.5% of the stockholders’ equity payable, subject to certain adjustments, in arrears and on a quarterly basis. The Company paid asset management fees of $128,906 and $230,701 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2019, accrued asset management fees were calculated to be $125,484. There were no outstanding asset management fees at June 30, 2020.
 
HCA earned a fee based on 1% of the acquisition cost (“Acquisition Fee”) of each real estate investment made by HCA on behalf of the Company for services with respect to the identification of an investment, arrangement of the purchase, and coordination of closing. HCA’s discretion to make additional acquisitions following the Recapitalization Transaction was made subject to Board approval. No such Acquisition Fees were earned by HCA following the Recapitalization Transaction other than in connection with the Monroe Property, which, as of the Recapitalization Transaction, was subject to a binding agreement to purchase previously executed by HCA.
 
The Acquisition Fee was to be paid in common stock or other equity securities of the Company. The Acquisition Fee was to be accrued and unpaid until the earlier of the date on which the Company’s common stock was initially listed with a national securities exchange or on March 31, 2020. Unpaid acquisition fees were calculated to be $556,739 at December 31, 2019. On March 31, 2020, the Company paid Acquisition Fees to HCA through the issuance of 55,674 shares of common stock of the Company at a per share price of $10 per share.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company was required to pay HCA a termination fee upon the effective date of the termination. The termination fee is calculated as a multiple of the sum of the asset management fees, acquisition fees and leasing fees earned by HCA during the 24-month period ending as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the effective date of the termination. The appropriate multiple is dependent on the stockholders’ equity, as defined by the Management Agreement, of the Company at the time of termination. The Company has the option to pay the termination fee in cash, common stock, or with the consent of HCA, other equity securities of the Company or Operating Partnership, including without limitation LTIP Units, or a combination thereof. As of December 31, 2019, an estimated liability for the termination fee was accrued in the amount of $1,650,000. On March 31, 2020, the Company terminated the Management Agreement with HCA. In connection with the termination, the Company paid a total termination fee of $1,645,453. The termination fee payable was satisfied with $1,275,000 in cash and $370,453 in shares of common stock of the Company at a per share price of $7.17 for a total of 51,667 shares.
 
 
27
 
 
The Company contracts with third party property managers to provide property management services at each of its properties. The property management fee is due and payable on a monthly basis at the beginning of each month. The Company incurred property management fees of $115,540 and $137,596 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Accrued property management fees were $9,617 and $9,387 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Company can be party to or otherwise be involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. Other than the following, we are not aware of any proceeding, threatened or pending, against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
On May 14, 2020, HCA and Holmwood filed suit in the Delaware Chancery Court against the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The suit alleges that the Company: (1) improperly calculated the termination fee and other amounts due to HCA under its Management Agreement with the Company; (2) improperly paid portions of the termination fee and other amounts in common stock (as opposed to other common equity interests in the Company); (3) failed to repay loans allegedly made to the Company by the plaintiffs; and, (4) improperly denied HCA powers granted by the Management Agreement to control the day-to-day business and affairs of the REIT and the Operating Partnership. The suit also alleges that the Company cannot recoup certain expenses to which the Company claims entitlement. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims and has brought counterclaims in the matter. Because the litigation is in its very early stages, at this time, the Company cannot estimate the financial impact of the litigation on the Company, if any.
