Item
1. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Semiannual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” as disclosed in our Offering Circular,
as amended or supplemented from time to time, which may be accessed here and may be updated from time to time by our future filings under Regulation A. The accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 are unaudited and have not been reviewed by external auditors.
Overview
Jamestown
Invest 1, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed to acquire and manage a portfolio consisting of real estate investments in urban infill locations in the path of anticipated growth. Possible asset classes could include mixed or single-use properties incorporating office, retail, multifamily, for-sale residential, parking, unimproved land, warehouse/flex, or hotels in the Atlanta, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") as well as other MSAs primarily in the Southeast such as Raleigh, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina. We may also invest in other major MSAs across the United States, which would generally have populations equal to or greater than 500,000 residents. We are externally managed by Jamestown Invest Manager, L.P. (our "Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jamestown, L.P. (“Jamestown”), our sponsor, which operates an online investment portal at www.jamestowninvest.com.
We
are offering and will continue to offer up to $47,571,240 in our common shares in our Offering Circular dated September 10, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had raised total gross offering proceeds of $9,467,510 (including $5,501,000 in a private placement prior to the offering statement being declared “qualified,” of which $865,500 was from our sponsor). As of September 23, 2021, the Company has raised a total of $10,204,104, in capital, of which $2,000,000 is from our Sponsor.
Our Investments
On March 12, 2020, the
Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in JT Invest 1 Dairies, LLC (the “Dairies JV”) from Jamestown, our sponsor, for total consideration of $7,279,065. The Dairies JV owns a five-building office campus located in Atlanta, Georgia known as Southern Dairies. Southern Dairies has 80,000 rentable square feet and as of the date of this report, is approximately 92% leased to ten tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.6 years. See "Investment Objectives and Strategy - Acquired Investments" in our Offering Circular for more information.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Proceeds from common shares sold in the Offering have been and will continue to be, primarily used for property acquisitions and capital expenditures.
We may selectively employ leverage to enhance total returns to our shareholders through a combination of senior financing and other financing transactions. Our target leverage at stabilization is 60% at the fund level and may be up to 70% on an individual investment calculated as a percentage of the greater of cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of our assets. We seek to secure conservatively structured leverage that is long term and non-recourse to the extent obtainable on a cost-effective basis. Our Manager may from time to time modify our leverage policy in its discretion. We cannot exceed the leverage limit of our leverage policy unless any excess in borrowing
over such level is approved by our Manager’s Investment Committee.
The success of our business is significantly related to general economic conditions and, accordingly, our business could be harmed by an economic slowdown and downturn in real estate asset values, property sales and leasing activities, including the economic conditions related to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic or its short- or long-term financial impact. The Company could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the pandemic and efforts to reduce its spread. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's
operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's tenants. Additionally, the impact could vary by geographic region and property type. As a result, valuations and incomes in the future may change more rapidly and significantly than under standard market conditions. These economic conditions could result in a general decline in acquisition, disposition and leasing activity, as well as a general decline in the value of real estate and in rents. In addition, these conditions could lead to a decline in property sales prices as well as a decline in funds invested in existing commercial real estate assets and properties planned for development. During an economic downturn, it may also take longer for us to dispose of real estate investments or the selling prices may be lower than originally
anticipated. As a result, the carrying value of our real estate investments may become impaired and we could record losses with respect to such impairment or we could experience reduced profitability. Further, our exposure to adverse general economic conditions is heightened by our use of leverage.
1
All of the conditions described above could materially and adversely impact our business performance and profitability, which could result in our failure to make distributions to our investors and decrease the value of an investment in us. In addition, in an extreme deterioration of economic conditions, we could have insufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations when they come due in future years. If we fail to meet our
payment or other obligations under our loan agreements, the lenders under such agreements will be entitled to proceed against the collateral securing such debts.
Distributions
On March 31, 2021, the Manager declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.075 per share for shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 31, 2021. Subsequently, on June 30, 2021, the Manager of the Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.075 per share for shareholders of record as of the close of business on June
30, 2021. We expect that dividends declared by our Manager will be made on a quarterly basis, or less frequently as determined by our Manager. Any future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of our Manager, and will be based on, among other factors, our present and reasonably projected future cash flow.
Redemption Plan
We have adopted a redemption plan whereby, on a quarterly basis, a shareholder may obtain liquidity as described in detail in our Offering Circular, which may be accessed here.
Our Manager may in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without notice for any reason, including to protect our operations and our non-redeemed shareholders, to prevent an undue burden on our liquidity, to preserve our status as a REIT, following any material decrease in our NAV, or for any other reason.
As of June 30, 2021, our Manager approved a redemption request for an aggregate of 950 shares (a redemption amount of $9,446) for four investors under the redemption plan.
We expect to primarily generate operating revenues and cash flows from the operations of our real estate investments. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our consolidated financial statements for further detail.
Cash Flows from Operating Assets
As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned a 51% controlling interest in a joint venture
that owns a five-building office campus located in Atlanta, Georgia known as Southern Dairies.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $467,095 and $921,171, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash flow from operating activities decreased primarily due to the increase in the interest rate swap value, offset by an increase in net income, deprecation and amortization and the performance participation allocation.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For
the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $360,407 and $35,013,610, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash used in investing activities decreased due to the acquisition of Southern Dairies in March 2020.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $989,769 and $29,583,453, respectively. For the six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash provided by financing activities decreased due to proceeds from the mortgage loan payable and contributions from noncontrolling interest in 2020. In 2021, the Company began making distributions to the investors.
For the six months ended June
30, 2021, we had a net loss attributable to Jamestown Invest 1, LLC in the amount of $36,645. This was driven by an increase in the performance participation allocation as of June 30, 2021 and depreciation and amortization of the real estate.
2
Based on a comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2021 versus 2020, total revenues decreased by $224,563 and operating expenses decreased by $86,578. Nonoperating expenses decreased by $880,133, which was primarily attributable to the change in the value of the interest rate swap.
We expect that rental income, operating and maintenance, property management fees, real estate
taxes and insurance, general and administration, asset management fees, fund administrative fees, depreciation and amortization and interest expense will increase as activity increases at Southern Dairies.
Outlook and Recent Trends
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, a pandemic of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. Although it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic or its short- or long-term financial impact, the Company could be materially and possibly adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the recent pandemic of COVID-19
and efforts to reduce its spread. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's tenants. For more information regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, please see "Risk Factors" in our Offering Circular.
Given the evolving nature of this unprecedented crisis, it is too early and difficult to predict the impact to the
Company at this time; however, we do expect a negative impact in the short-term. Still, we believe we can execute our value-add strategy over our anticipated five-to seven-year term.
For further information regarding Related Party Arrangements, please see
Note 6 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements below.
Recent Developments
Between July 1, 2021 and September 23, 2021, the Company issued 12,512 shares at a share price of $10.34 and 49,929 shares at a share price of $10.35, for $646,140 in offering proceeds. Through the date of this filing, we received and fulfilled redemption requests for 950 commons shares. As of September 23,
2021, the aggregate shares outstanding were 1,007,234 shares, for total offering proceeds of $10,104,204 (including the 550,100 shares totaling $5,501,000 received in a private placement prior to the initial offering being declared effective).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its real estate partnerships for which it has control over the major operating and financing policies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgment. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Real Estate Acquisition Valuations
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805), the Company records acquisitions that meet the definition of a business as a business combination. If the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, the Company records the acquisition as an asset acquisition. Under a business combination, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are
measured based on their acquisition-date fair values. Under asset acquisitions, the costs of the assets
F-5
acquired are allocated in proportion to their relative fair values on the date of acquisition. Transaction costs that are related to a business combination are charged to expense as incurred. Transaction costs that are related to an asset acquisition are capitalized as incurred. In the current period, the acquisition of Southern Dairies met the requirements of and was accounted for as an asset acquisition (see Note 3).
The Company assesses the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed
liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The Company records above-market, below-market and in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of
fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining noncancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. The Company amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining noncancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods. Amortization related to below-market leases amounted to $184,779 and $156,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and is included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The
Company estimates the value of tenant origination and in-place lease costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods.
The Company amortizes the value of tenant origination and in-place lease costs, which includes lease commissions, legal costs and in-place leases, to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining noncancelable term of the respective lease. Amortization expense related to tenant origination and in-place lease costs amounted to $261,632 and $259,955
for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable
intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income (loss).
Depreciation
Depreciation of the buildings is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 48 years. Depreciation of building improvements is computed on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 15 - 39 years. Site improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life ranging from 10 - 15 years. Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense amounted to $219,617 and $133,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
respectively and is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the assets will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. If, based on the analysis, the
Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the asset, the Company will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges related to its real estate investments.
F-6
Revenue Recognition and Expenses
The majority of the
Company’s revenue is earned through the lease of rental space at its underlying properties. These revenues are accounted for as leases under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases (ASC 840). Other revenues, as a whole, are immaterial to total revenues and are accounted for as revenues from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606).
The Company's primary source of revenue is income arising from lease agreements which may include base rent or reimbursements
from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses.
Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The Company recognizes the reimbursement of expenses from tenants as the related expenses are incurred. Percentage rents are recognized once the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable. In addition, termination fees arising from contractual agreements with tenants are considered lease modifications. The Company recognizes the income upon execution of the agreement. Lease revenues are accounted for in accordance with ASC 840. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, straight-line
rent receivable was $213,548 and $98,884, respectively.
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and recorded in the period in which it is earned.
Expenses are recognized when incurred.
COVID-19 Lease Concessions
In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of a global pandemic of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant
(treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). Although the original lease modification guidance in ASC 840, remains appropriate to address routine lease modifications, the Lease Modification Q&A established a different framework to account for certain lease concessions granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Lease Modification Q&A allows the Company, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead make an accounting policy election to account for COVID-19 related lease concessions as either a lease modification or a negative variable adjustment to rental revenue. Such election is required to be applied consistently to leases with similar
characteristics and similar circumstances.
The Company has elected to apply such relief and will not perform a lease by lease analysis for the lease concessions that were (1) granted as relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) result in the cash flows remaining substantially the same or less than the original contract. The Lease Modification Q&A has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. However, its future impact to the
Company is dependent upon the extent of lease concessions granted to tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods and the elections made by the Company at the time of entering such concessions.
The Company has made the following accounting policy elections by the type of concession agreed to with the respective tenants:
Rent Deferrals – The Company will account for rent deferrals that will be paid back within 18 months of the deferral date using the receivables model as described within the Lease Modification Q&A. Under the receivables model, the
Company will continue to recognize lease revenue in a manner that is unchanged from the original lease agreement and continue to recognize lease receivables and rental revenue during the deferral period.
Additionally, in light of the recent and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is closely monitoring changes in the collectability assessment of its tenant receivables as a result of certain tenants suffering adverse financial consequences.
The Company classifies short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of approximately 90 days or less and money market accounts as cash equivalents. The Company invests its cash primarily in deposits and money market funds with commercial banks. At times, cash balances may exceed federally insured amounts. Management believes it mitigates credit risk by depositing cash in and investing
through major financial institutions.
Restricted cash consists of tenant security deposits.
Accounts Receivable
In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to its tenants. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its tenants and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts when considered necessary. Accounts receivable are generally due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. Unpaid accounts receivable do not bear interest.
Bad debts are provided using the allowance for doubtful accounts method based on historical experience and management’s
evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of each year. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Fair Value Measurements
From time to time the Company may purchase interest rate caps, swaps or other financial instruments. Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company may be required to measure other non-financial and financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring
basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
•Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
•Level 3 – Valuations based
on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections that are not observable in the market, and significant professional judgment is used in determining the fair value assigned to such assets and liabilities.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair
value is a market‑based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity‑specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified between the levels. There were no reclassifications between levels in 2021.
F-8
Organization,
Offering and Related Costs
Organization and offering costs of the Company are being paid by the Manager. These organization and offering costs include all expenses in connection with the formation of the Company and the qualification of the Offering, and the marketing and distribution of shares, including, without limitation, expenses for printing, and amending offering statements or telecommunications costs, all advertising and marketing expenses, charges of experts and fees, expenses and taxes related to the filing, registration and qualification of the sale of shares under federal and state laws, including taxes and fees and accountants’ and attorneys’ fees. The Company
will not be obligated to reimburse the Manager, or its affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company.
Share Redemptions
The Company adopted a redemption plan, whereby on a quarterly basis, shareholders may request that the Company redeem not less than 25% of their shares. In addition, the redemption plan is subject to certain liquidity limitations, which may fluctuate depending on the liquidity of the real estate assets held.
For the first eighty-nine (89) days following the settlement of the common shares subject to the redemption
request (the “Introductory Period”), the per share redemption price will be equal to the purchase price of the shares being redeemed less the aggregate sum of distributions paid and declared but unpaid with respect to such shares, rounded down to the nearest cent.
Beginning on the ninetieth (90th) day following the settlement of the common shares subject to the redemption request (the “Post-Introductory Period”), the per share redemption price will be calculated based on a declining discount to the net asset value (the “NAV”) per share in effect at the time the redemption request is made without any reduction for distributions paid or declared and rounded down to the nearest cent.

The Effective Redemption Price will be rounded down to the nearest $0.01 and proceeds received by investors from any redemption will be further reduced by the Participation Allocation payable to the Manager in connection with such redemption (Note 3).
(2)
The per share
redemption price during the Introductory Period is calculated based upon the purchase price of the shares, not the per share price in effect at the time of the redemption request.
(3)
The Effective Redemption Price during the Introductory Period will be reduced by the aggregate sum of distributions paid or payable on such shares, the amount of which we are unable to calculate at this time.
Because the NAV per share is calculated at the end of each quarter, beginning March 31, 2020, the redemption price for shares held at least ninety (90) days may change between the date the redemption request is received and the date on which redemption proceeds are paid. As a result, the redemption price that a shareholder will receive may be different from
the redemption price on the day the redemption request is made.
In addition, the Manager may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the redemption plan at any time without notice, including to protect the operations and the non-redeemed shareholders, to prevent an undue burden on liquidity, to preserve the status as a REIT, following any material decrease in the NAV, or for any other reason. However, in the event that the Manager amends, suspends or terminates the redemption plan, an offering circular supplement and/or Form 1-U, as appropriate will be filed, to disclose such amendment. The Manager may also, in its sole discretion, decline any particular redemption request if it believes such action is necessary to preserve the status as a REIT.
As of June 30, 2021, 950 shares have been redeemed for a total amount
of $9,446, of which $7,021 was accrued and included in accrued redemptions in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All shares redeemed were at a discount equal to 97% of the current NAV.
F-9
Distributions
On March 31, 2021, the Manager of the Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.075 per share for shareholders of record as of the close of business on the last day of the quarter. As of June 30, 2021, dividends in the amount of $139,279 have been declared of which $72,573
were accrued and included in accrued distributions in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and operating as such. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As
a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income that it distributes to its shareholders, provided that it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
Risks and Uncertainties
In the normal course of business, the Company encounters economic risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. Interest rate risk is the result of movements in the underlying variable component of
the mortgage financing rates. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company's real estate investments that results from an underlying tenant’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the valuation of real estate investments held by the Company.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial
contracts. The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, the Company’s interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.
The
Company has material contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and is monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest expense on mortgage loans payable and amounts received or paid on interest rate swaps. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of mortgage loans payable and interest rate swaps tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative rate may be challenging, as they may require negotiation with the respective counterparty.
If a contract
is not transitioned to an alternative rate and LIBOR is discontinued, the impact to the Company is likely to vary by contract. If LIBOR is discontinued or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates on the Company’s current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.
While the Company expects LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator.
In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues it is not possible to reliably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic and hence its financial impact, the Company could be materially and possibly adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's tenants. Additionally, the impact could vary by geographic
region and property type. As a result, valuations and incomes in the future may change more rapidly and significantly than under standard market conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02), establishing Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (ASC 842). Lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. ASC 842 requires all lessees to record a lease liability at lease
inception, with a corresponding right of use asset, except for short-term leases. ASC 842 will be effective January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted and a number of practical expedients may also be elected. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASC 842 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13). This requires entities to estimate a lifetime expected credit loss for most financial assets, including (i) trade and other receivables, (ii) other long-term financings including available for sale and held-to-maturity debt
securities and (iii) loans. Subsequently, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which amends the scope of ASU 2016-13 and clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the standard and should continue to be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard (ASC 842). This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP
to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management has not yet adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of June 30, 2021, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications
had no effect on the reported results of operations. An adjustment was made to the Consolidated Statements of Operations to reclassify other income to rental income and interest income.
3. Real Estate
On March 12, 2020, the Company purchased a 51% controlling interest in JT Invest 1 Dairies, LLC ("Southern Dairies") from the Sponsor. Southern Dairies is a five-building office campus located in Atlanta, Georgia with 80,000 rentable square feet.

As
of June 30, 2021 and 2020, Southern Dairies was approximately 74% and 86% leased, respectively, by tenants whose leases expire on various dates between 2021 and 2029. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, four tenants accounted for 25%, 17%, 15% and 11% of the annualized base rents of Southern Dairies. These leases expire in 2029, 2023, 2023 and 2021, respectively.
F-11
As of June 30,
2021, the future minimum contractual rental income from the Company's real estate investment under its noncancelable operating leases was as follows:
On March 12, 2020, Southern Dairies obtained a $25,817,000 mortgage loan, secured by the real estate, and received initial proceeds in the amount of $21,240,000. The remaining balance of the loan proceeds, in the amount of $4,577,000, may be advanced from time to time as reimbursement for certain leasing costs, upon satisfaction of the requirements stated in the mortgage loan agreement. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance was $22,212,130. The loan matures March 12, 2025 and bears interest at a variable rate based on one-month LIBOR (0.10% as of June 30, 2021) plus 1.55%, adjusted periodically in accordance with the loan agreement.
Interest only payments are due on a monthly basis through the maturity date. The loan may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred interest expense related to the mortgage loan payable of $183,569 and $142,634, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred financing costs of $0 and $585,601, respectively.
The fair value of the mortgage loan payable is determined by discounting the difference between the
contractual loan payments and estimated market loan payments at an equity discount rate based on asset appraisals that reflect how a typical third-party investor would value the cash flows. Market loan payments are derived from overall market lending rates, debt origination and assumption transactions in the market, and property specific factors, including loan to value and cap rate changes. The Company's mortgage loan payable is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents additional information about the Level 3 liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s mortgage loan payable are the selection of certain market interest rates and implied equity discount rates. Management reviews the valuation of the mortgage loans payable quarterly. The difference in the calculated fair value and the balance outstanding is the market valuation adjustment. As of June 30, 2021, the mortgage loan payable balance and the fair value of the mortgage loan payable were $22,212,130 and $22,054,035,
respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the market interest rate and implied equity discount rate was assumed to be 2.12% and 11.73%, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the mortgage loan payable balance and the fair value of the mortgage loan payable were $22,212,130 and $21,988,134, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the market interest rate and implied equity discount rate was assumed to be 2.35% and 16.53%, respectively.
The Company is subject to certain financial and nonfinancial covenants under the mortgage loan. As of June 30, 2021, the Company
was in compliance with all covenants.
5. Derivative Instrument
The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on the notional, payment frequency, day count fraction, fixed and floating rates, and other factors, including the credit strength of both counterparties. The present value of expected cash flow differences is calculated based on prevailing market and contractual interest rates and credit spreads. The valuations are performed by an independent appraiser consistent with market standards for valuing derivatives. Management reviews the valuation of the interest rate swap quarterly. The Company's derivative
instrument is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
F-13
To limit the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the mortgage loan payable, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement fixed the one-month LIBOR portion of the interest rate at for a total all-in-rate of 2.683% and a notional amount of $21,240,000. The agreement expires on March 3, 2025. For the six months ended June
30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $106,784 and $33,580, respectively in interest interest expense related to the derivative which is included as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, the Company has not designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Accordingly, the Company recognizes any changes in fair value as a component of realized and unrealized gains (losses) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the total change in unrealized loss on the interest rate swap was $372,786 and $(902,221), respectively.
