BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2018

Note 1 – Organization and Background

BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and develops multi‑family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Generally, the multi-family properties are acquired with joint venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At March 31, 2018 , the Company owns: (a) 34 multi-family properties with 9,632 units (including 445 units at two properties engaged in lease-up activities and 402 units at a property under development), located in 11 states with a carrying value of $982,801,000 ; and (b) interests in three unconsolidated multi-family joint ventures with a carrying value of $20,637,000 .

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 , and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 , has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑family properties were determined to be VIEs because the voting rights of some equity investors in the applicable joint venture entity are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The joint ventures that own properties in Ocoee, FL, Lawrenceville, GA, Dallas, TX and St. Louis, MO were determined not to be a VIEs but are consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entities.
With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, as (i) the Company is primarily the managing member but does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities or the Company is not the managing member and (ii) such entities are not VIEs, the Company has determined that such joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes.

The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.

Note 3 ‑ Equity

Equity Distribution Agreements

On January 11, 2018, the Company entered into equity distribution agreements with three sales agents to sell up to an aggregate of $20,000,000 of its common stock from time-to-time in an at-the-market offering. In the quarter ended March 31, 2018 , the Company sold 113,566 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $1,401,000 , after giving effect to commissions of

7


$30,000 and estimated offering costs ( i.e. professional and related fees) of $63,000 . From April 1, 2018 through May 8, 2018, the Company sold 62,400 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $734,000 , after giving effect to commissions of $16,000 .

Common Stock Dividend Distribution

The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.20 per share, payable on April 6, 2018, to stockholders of record on March 27, 2018.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company's Amended and Restated 2018 Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 600,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards.
Restricted Stock Units
In June 2016, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "Units") to acquire up to 450,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2016 Incentive Plan") . The Units entitle the recipients, subject to continued service through the March 31, 2021 vesting date, to receive (i) the underlying shares if and to the extent certain performance and/or market conditions are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends paid from the grant date through the vesting date with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Units if, when, and to the extent, the related Units vest. For financial statement purposes, because the Units are not participating securities, the shares underlying the Units are excluded in the outstanding shares reflected on the consolidated balance sheet and from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The shares underlying the Units are contingently issuable shares and 200,000 of these shares have been included in the diluted earnings per share as the market conditions with respect to such units had been met at March 31, 2018.
Expense is recognized over the five year vesting period on the Units which the Company expects to vest. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded $73,000 and $110,000 , respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded $146,000 and $220,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the Units. At March 31, 2018 , and September 30, 2017, $870,000 and $1,015,000 of compensation expense, respectively, had been deferred and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting period.
Restricted Stock
In March 2018, the Company granted 144,797 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2018 Incentive Plan. As of March 31, 2018 , an aggregate of 706,247 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2018 Incentive Plan, 2016 Incentive Plan and 2012 Incentive Plan. No additional awards may be granted under the 2016 Incentive Plan and 2012 Incentive Plan. All shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the earnings per share computation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded $224,000 and $276,000 , respectively, and for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded $467,000 and $490,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At March 31, 2018 , and September 30, 2017, $3,603,000 and $2,356,000 has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average remaining vesting period of these shares of restricted stock is 3.5 years.

Stock Buyback
On September 5, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a repurchase plan authorizing the Company, effective as of October 1, 2017, to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of common stock through September 30, 2019. No shares have been repurchased pursuant to this plan.

Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. The Units are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and deemed to be outstanding during such period. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company included 200,000 shares of common stock underlying the Units in the calculation of diluted earning per share as a market criteria, with respect to such units, has been met at March 31, 2018.

Impairment Charges

The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying costs on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying costs to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no impairment charges were recorded.

Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities

The Company conducts a large portion of its business with joint venture partners. Many of the Company's consolidated joint ventures that own properties were determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") because the voting rights of some equity partners are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected loses of the entity and their rights to receive expected

11


residual returns. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint venture because it has a controlling financial interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts with respect to the consolidated VIEs and their classification on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (amounts in thousands):

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.

Junior subordinated notes: At March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 , the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $12,865,000 and $15,705,000 based on a market interest rate of 7.18% and 6.37% , respectively.

Mortgages payable: At March 31, 2018 , the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $23,145,000 assuming market interest rates between 3.99% and 5.66% and at September 30, 2017 , the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was lower than their carrying value by approximately $11,400,000 assuming market interest rates between 3.78% and 5.02% . Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.

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 assumptions.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

The Company’s fair value measurements are 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, there is a fair value hierarchy that 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. 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 Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

Derivative financial instruments: 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, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At March 31, 2018 , these derivatives are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that 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 them utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of March 31, 2018 , the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivatives valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 13 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives, designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company's cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 . The Company estimates an additional $294,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive loss as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The agreement between the Company and its derivative counterparties provides that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.


Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), prescribes a single, common revenue standards which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP, including most industry-specific requirements. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five step model to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative

16


effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard during the year ending September 30, 2019.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 , Leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the current accounting for leases and while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (i) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting (ii) eliminates most real estate specific lease provisions, and (iii) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach which requires us to record leases existing as of or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements under the new lease standard. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements. We believe our adoption of the new leasing standard will result in an immaterial increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, with no material impact to our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues and how to reduce diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-018, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the combined total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose relevant information about the nature of the restrictions on the basis of their individual facts and circumstances. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 , that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

General

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is focused on the ownership, operation and development of multi‑family properties. These activities are conducted primarily through joint ventures in which we have a substantial ownership position. At March 31, 2018 , we (i) own 34 multi-family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 9,632 units (including 445 units at two properties engaged in lease up activities ( i.e. , Factory at Garco Park and Vanguard Heights) and 402 units at a property under development ( i.e ., Bells Bluff)) with a carrying value of $982.8 million and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in three multi-family properties with a carrying value of $20.6 million. Most of our properties are located in the southeast United States and Texas.

As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to operating properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented and excludes properties that were in development or lease up during such periods. Retreat at Cinco Ranch Katy, Texas, has been excluded from same store properties due to the damage it sustained from Hurricane Harvey. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 22 same store properties and for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 21 same store properties.


Hurricane Harvey

In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage to our 268-unit Retreat at Cinco Ranch, Katy, Texas property. Among other things, 96 of our ground floor units were rendered uninhabitable and as a result of the extensive damage to the common areas of the property ( i.e., pool and clubhouse), we offered, rent concessions and other accommodations to induce tenancies for the second and third floor units to reside at the property. As a result of the damage caused by the hurricane, we reduced the carrying value of this property by $3.5 million and, because we believed it was probable that we would recover such sum from our insurance coverage, we recognized $3.5 million in insurance recoveries. Through March 31, 2018, we received approximately $7.4 million (including $686,000 in rental income as described below) in insurance recoveries related to the loss, of which $3.2 million is recorded as a gain on insurance recovery in the three and six months ended March 31, 2018.

Our business interruption insurance is covering our losses in rental income with respect to the ground floor units until such units are repaired and accordingly, we continue to accrue revenues to be generated from such units. Through March 31, 2018 we received $686,000 to cover lost rental income, of which $294,000 and $588,000 is recorded as rental income in the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. We are also seeking to recover from our insurance carriers the cost of rent concessions and other accommodations we previously offered tenants and prospective tenants, which totaled approximately $145,000. As of May 1, 2018, certain common areas have been restored and nine ground floor units have been restored and leased. We anticipate this property will be substantially repaired by September 2018. We continue to negotiate with our insurance carriers to ensure that we are fully compensated for the damages sustained at Retreat at Cinco Ranch as a result of Hurricane Harvey.

Status of Lease Up Activities and Development Project

At March 31, 2018, the occupancy rate at Factory at Garco Park and Vanguard Heights, which are in engaged in lease up activities, was 85.2% and 88.5%, respectively.

We anticipate that the buildings at our Bells Bluff development property will be completed from time to time from the end of calendar year 2018 through the end of calendar year 2019.

Dividend Declared During the Quarter Ended March 31, 2018
During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.20 per share that was paid on April 6, 2018, to stockholders of record on March 27, 2018. This dividend represented an 11.1% increase from the dividend paid in January 2018.

Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Developments During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018
Acquisitions

On February 7, 2018, we acquired the Avenue Apartments, a 522-unit multi-family property located in Ocoee, FL, for $71.3 million, including $53.1 million of mortgage debt obtained in connection with the acquisition. Based on our underwriting, we estimate that on a quarterly basis this property will generate $1.6 million of rental revenue, $776,000 of real estate operating expense, $532,000 of interest expense and $948,000 of depreciation expense.

On February 15, 2018, we acquired Parc @ 980, a 586-unit multi-family property located in Lawrenceville, GA, for $77.2 million, including $54.4 million of mortgage debt obtained in connection with the acquisition. Based on our underwriting, we estimate that on a quarterly basis this property will generate $1.8 million of rental revenue, $911,000 of real estate operating expense, $541,000 of interest expense and $1.0 million of depreciation expense.

Dispositions
On February 5, 2018, we sold The Fountains Apartments, a 542-unit multi-family located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, for a sales price of $97.2 million, and recognized a gain of $41.8 million, of which $20.6 million was allocated to the non-controlling partner. We also incurred $594,000 of mortgage prepayment costs, of which $289,000 was allocated to the non-controlling partner. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, this property generated $2.3 million of rental revenues, $1.0 million of operating expenses, $463,000 of interest expense and $480,000 of depreciation expense.

On February 23, 2018, we sold Valley Venue Apartments, a 618-unit multi-family located in Valley, AL, for a sales price of $51.0 million, and recognized a gain of $9.7 million, of which $4.5 million was allocated to the non-controlling partner. In the quarter ended December 31, 2017, this property generated $1.5 million of rental revenues, $782,000 of operating expenses, $332,000 of interest expense and $412,000 of depreciation expense.

Generally, in the event of the sale of a multi-family property owned by a joint venture, as a result of allocation/distribution provisions of the applicable joint venture operating agreement, the allocation and distributions of cash and profits to us (as opposed to our joint venture partner) will be less than that implied by our percentage equity interest in the property

Recent Developments

On April 30, 2018, we acquired, through a consolidated joint venture in which we have a 80% equity interest, a 208-unit multi-family property located in Daytona, FL, for $20.5 million, including the assumption of $13.6 million in mortgage debt. The mortgage matures in May 2025, bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.94%, is interest only for two years, and thereafter amortizes based on a 30 year schedule. Based on our underwriting, we estimate that on a quarterly basis this property will generate $605,000 of rental revenue, $298,000 of real estate operating expenses, $134,000 of interest expense and $545,000 and depreciation expense.

$513,000 from three properties sold during the six months ended March 31, 2018.

General and administrative expense. The decrease is due primarily to the inclusion, in the six months ended March 31, 2017, of approximately $250,000 of professional and other fees, a significant portion of which related to our conversion to a Maryland corporation.
Depreciation.
The increase is due primarily to:
•
$5.3 million from seven properties acquired during the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, including $1.7 million from four properties acquired during the current period,
•
$806,000 from the inclusion, for the entire six months ended March 31, 2018, of three properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year, and
•
$676,000 from our Factory at Garco Park that was in development during the corresponding period of the prior year .

Offsetting this increase was a decrease of:

•
$1.4 million resulting from purchase price allocation adjustments in the corresponding period of the prior year,
•
$1.0 million from three properties sold during the six months ended March 31, 2018, and
•
$517,000 from the seven properties sold during the twelve months ended September 30, 2017.

Other Income and Expenses

Gain on sale of real estate. During the six months ended March 31, 2018 , we sold three multi-family properties and one cooperative apartment unit for an aggregate sales price of $171.0 million and recognized an aggregate gain of $64.5 million, of which $27.4 million was allocated to the non-controlling partners. During the six months ended March 31, 2017, we sold four multi-family properties and a cooperative apartment unit for an aggregate sales price of $130.7 million and recognized an aggregate gain of $35.8 million, of which $17.1 million was allocated to the non-controlling partner.

Loss on extinguishment of debt . In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $850,000 of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of The Fountain Apartments and Waverly Place Apartments . In the six months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred $799,000 of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of Spring Valley Apartments, Panama City, FL.
Income tax (benefit) provision. In the six months ended March 31, 2018, we received a refund of state taxes related to a prior year. The six months ended March 31, 2017 reflects state taxes paid as a result of income recognized at the state level, primarily from gains on property sales.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service obligations, acquire properties, make capital improvements and pay dividends. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of, and distributions from, our multi-family properties, our available cash (including restricted cash), mortgage debt financing and our share of the net proceeds from the sale of multi-family properties. As a result of the at-the-market equity offering program that commenced January 11, 2018, we may, in the future, generate funds from the sale of our common stock. At March 31, 2018 , and May 1, 2018, our available cash, excluding restricted cash of $7.7 million and $7.9 million respectively, intended for capital improvements at 17 multi-family properties, is approximately $31.0 million and $20.4 million, respectively.
We anticipate that operating expenses payable through 2019 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of our properties and that the debt service (including principal payments) payable in 2018 and 2019 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of the properties, the refinancing of mortgages, our share of the proceeds from the sale of our properties and from sales of our common stock, if any.
The mortgage debt with respect to the multi-family properties generally is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary holding our interest in the applicable joint venture. Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties is limited by our available cash and the availability of mortgage debt.
We anticipate that the construction and other costs associated with the 402-unit Bells Bluff development project will be funded by capital previously contributed by us and our joint venture partner and in-place construction financing of up to $47.4 million. As of March 31, 2018 , there have been no draws against this construction loan.
We intend to refinance the adjustable rate mortgages in aggregate principal amount of $56.3 million at our two properties that are currently in lease up (Factory at Garco Park - N. Charleston, SC and Vanguard Heights, Creve Coeur, MO) with longer term fixed-rate financing once these properties has been stabilized; however, no assurance can be given that these properties will ever be stabilized, that financing will be available at such time or, if available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. These loans mature (after giving effect to extension options) in October 2020 and April 2019, respectively.

Cash Distribution Policy
We are taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code”. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute to our stockholders within the time frames prescribed by the Code at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income. Management currently intends to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to stockholders in accordance with the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for Federal taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income, ( i.e ., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code).
We estimate that our net operating losses at December 31, 2017 range from $15 million to $20 million; therefore, we are not currently required by Code provisions relating to REITs to pay cash dividends to maintain our status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on each of October 5, 2017 and January 5, 2018, we paid a cash dividend of $0.18 per share, and on April 6, 2018, we paid a cash dividend of $0.20 per share. Though we currently intend to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide any assurance that we will do so.

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations

We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
We compute 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 depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write‑downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are 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 AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight-line rent accruals, loss on extinguishment of debt, restricted stock and restricted stock unit expense, deferred mortgage costs and gain on insurance recovery. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, 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.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO 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 and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
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 Risks

All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than seven mortgages, three of which are subject to interest rate swap agreements and one which is subject to an interest rate cap. With respect to the remaining three variable rate mortgages, an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would reduce annual net income by $589,000 and a decrease of 100 basis points would increase annual net income by $589,000.
As of March 31, 2018 , we had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding and one interest rate cap. The fair value of these derivative instruments is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At March 31, 2018 , if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of these derivative instruments and the net unrealized gain thereon would have increased by approximately $3.0 million and (ii) if there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of these derivatives and the net unrealized gain thereon would have decreased by approximately $3.2 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.

Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At March 31, 2018, the interest rate on these notes was 3.77%. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would increase our related interest expense by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would decrease our related interest expense by $374,000 annually.

As of March 31, 2018 , based on the number of residential units in each state, 30% of our properties are located in Texas, 16% in Georgia, 11% in Florida, 8% in Missouri, 8% in Mississippi, 7% in Tennessee, 7% in South Carolina and the remaining 13% in four other states; we are therefore subject to risks associated with the economies in these areas.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 . Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018 are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
