Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SB Partners, a New York limited partnership, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Partnership" or the “Registrant”), have been engaged since April 1971 in acquiring, operating, and holding for investment a varying portfolio of real estate interests. SB Partners Real Estate Corporation (the "General Partner") serves as the general partner of the Partnership.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Partnership’s latest annual report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
For a discussion of the significant accounting and financial reporting policies of the Partnership, refer to the Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
|
(2) |
COVID-19 |
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Partnership and Omaha may be operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies may be affected by liquidity, disparity of real estate values and financing issues. Should market conditions deteriorate, there is no assurance that such conditions will not result in decreased cash flows or ability to repay, refinance or extend Omaha's debt when it comes due, which could result in the sale of investments at amounts less than the reported value at March 31, 2021.
|
(3) |
COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE REIMBURSEMENTS |
In connection with the adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Partnership elected the practical expedient concerning the treatment of CAM costs. CAM is a non-lease component of the lease contract under ASC 842, and therefore would be accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and presented separate from rental income based on an allocation of the overall contract price, which is not necessarily the amount that would be billable to the tenant for CAM reimbursements per the term of the lease contract. As the timing and pattern of providing the CAM service to the tenant is the same as the timing and pattern of the tenant’s use of the underlying lease asset, the Partnership elected, under the practical expedient, to combine CAM and other Recoverable Costs with the remaining lease components, and recognize them together as rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table provides a disaggregation of rental income recognized by the Partnership for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE |
The accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes a hierarchy used to classify the inputs used in determining fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
● |
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities; |
|
● |
Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or quoted prices in less active dealer or broker markets; |
|
● |
Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable. |
7
The following major categories of assets were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the periods ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(6) INVESTMENT IN SENTINEL OMAHA, LLC
In 2007, the Partnership made an investment in the amount of $37,200,000 in Sentinel Omaha, LLC (“Omaha”).

The following are the condensed financial statements (000’s omitted) of Omaha as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
During December 2020, Omaha sold one of its garden apartment properties located in Nashville, Tennessee. Net sales proceeds were used to first pay selling expenses and retire each property’s related secured mortgage loan. A portion of the remaining net sales proceeds were used to retire Omaha’s secured mortgage loan encumbering another garden apartment property located in Nashville, Tennessee in February 2021 to further pay down Omaha’s overall debt. The remaining portion of the sales proceeds were used to pay a distribution of $36,000,000 to its investors. The Partnership’s 30% allocation of the distribution was $10,800,000. The Omaha portfolio reported an increase of value on its real estate investments of approximately $8,600,000 (4.51%) for the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

| ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020 |
General
The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 reflect the operation of one wholly owned industrial flex property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota and a 30% interest in Omaha.
Registrant’s wholly owned property located in Maple Grove, Minnesota is 100% leased to a single tenant to October 31, 2024. The tenant pays fixed base rent which increases approximately 3% each year. The tenant pays directly or reimburses Registrant for all utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property operating expenses and property management fees.
Omaha’s portfolio as of March 31, 2021 consists of five garden apartment properties located in three markets. Leases generally are for one year or less. Tenants generally pay fixed rent plus utilities used by tenant.
COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Registrant and Omaha may be operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies may be affected by liquidity, disparity of real estate values and financing issues. Should market conditions deteriorate, there is no assurance that such conditions will not result in decreased cash flows or ability to repay, refinance or extend Omaha's debt when it comes due, which could result in the sale of investments at amounts less than the reported value at March 31, 2021.
Results of Operations
Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $12,000 to approximately $305,000 as compared to approximately $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Total revenues increased due to an increase in base rental income, other income and interest income. Base rental income increased $6,000 to approximately $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 due to a scheduled increase in base rent at Registrant’s property located in Maple Grove, MN. Other income increased due to an increase in real estate taxes charged back to the tenant. Interest income increased due to an increase in cash reserves.
The Registrant reported a net loss from operations of approximately $135,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $2,000 as compared to a net loss from operations of approximately $137,000 for the same period in 2020. Net loss from operations consists of net income from the Maple Grove property offset by partnership income and expenses. The decrease of loss from operations was primarily due to higher total income partially offset by higher total expense. Total expenses from operations for 2021 increased $9,000 to approximately $440,000 from approximately $431,000 in 2020, due primarily to an increase in administration expense of $9,000, an increase in real estate taxes of $5,000 and an increase in professional fees of $2,000. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in investment management fees and repairs and maintenance costs.
The Registrant has a 30% non-controlling interest in Omaha that is accounted for on a fair value basis. Net increase in net assets increased $9,447,000 to approximately $11,062,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net increase in net assets of approximately $1,615,000 for the same period in 2020.
The Omaha portfolio reported an increase of value on its real estate investments of approximately $8,600,000 (4.51%) for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase in value is due primarily to stronger capitalization rates. Occupancy levels have remained steady during the current year at most of Omaha’s properties. Omaha estimated the value of the properties in its portfolio using the Direct Capitalization and Discounted Cash Flow methods of the Income Approach as it is anticipated that most buyers would estimate values this way as public crisis has resulted in limited sale transactions during the past year for which to support use of the Sales Comparison Approach. Omaha mostly used the same capitalization, termination and discount rates as used in the prior quarter
During December 2020, Omaha sold one of its garden apartment properties located in Nashville, Tennessee. Net sales proceeds were used to first pay selling expenses and retire each property’s related secured mortgage loan. A portion of the remaining net sales proceeds were used to retire Omaha’s secured mortgage loan encumbering another garden apartment property located in Nashville, Tennessee in February 2021 to further pay down Omaha’s overall debt. The remaining portion of the sales proceeds were used to pay a distribution of $36,000,000 to its investors. Registrants 30% allocation of the distribution was $10,800,000.
The investment in a 30% non-controlling interest is valued at a discount due to the lack of liquidity and ownership of a non-controlling (minority) interest. Registrant has reported a reserve on the value of Omaha on its books of 20% since September 30, 2018.

This report on Form 10-Q includes statements that constitute "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27(A) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties as further described in the Registrant’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Registrant’s critical accounting policies are described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no significant changes to such policies in 2020. There are no accounting pronouncements or interpretations that have been issued, but not yet adopted, that Registrant believes will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2021, the Registrant had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,242,000. These balances are approximately $693,000 higher than cash and cash equivalents held on December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents increased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to a portion of the distribution from Omaha added to cash reserves.
Currently, Registrant’s only consistent source of cash is rental income received from the tenant that leases 100% of the leasable space at Registrant’s wholly owned property in Maple Grove. The tenant reimburses Registrant for real estate taxes, insurance and most of the property’s operating expenses leaving a significant portion of the base rent received available to fund partnership administrative expenses.
Registrant anticipates cash flow generated from the property located in Maple Grove and current cash reserves will be sufficient to pay ongoing operating and capital improvement costs, other working capital requirements of the Registrant and current fees due to the General Partner and its affiliates. The Registrant has no debt except normal trade accounts payable and a security deposit held for the tenant at Registrant’s wholly owned property.
During the quarter, inflation and changing prices did not significantly affect the markets in which the Registrant conducts its business, or the Registrant's business overall.
