CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of NRI Real Estate Investment and Technology, Inc., a Maryland corporation and formerly known as NRI Real Token, Inc. (the “Company”), other than historical facts are forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” or other similar words. Specifically, we consider, among others, statements concerning future operating results and cash flows, our ability to meet future obligations, and the amount and timing of any future distributions to stockholders to be forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this report is filed with the SEC. We make no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Any such forward-looking statements are subject to unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are based on a number of assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately. To the extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking statements, including our ability to generate positive cash flow from operations, provide distributions to stockholders, and maintain the value of our real estate properties, may be significantly hindered.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:
| ● | We have a limited operating history and may not be successful at operating our business as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “REIT”), which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. |
| ● | Failure to qualify as or maintain qualification as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to our stockholders. |
| ● | Our advisor, its executive officers and other key personnel, as well as certain of our officers and directors, whose services are essential to the Company, are involved in other business ventures, and face a conflict in allocating their time and other resources between us and the other activities in which they are or may become involved. Failure of our advisor, its executive officers and key personnel, and our officers and directors to devote sufficient time or resources to our operations could result in reduced returns to our stockholders. |
| ● | We pay certain prescribed fees to our advisor and its affiliates regardless of our performance. |
| ● | We have utilized and may continue to utilize substantial debt financing from third parties to acquire properties and to maintain and make capital improvements at our existing Property (as defined herein). |
| ● | As of this date, our only Property is in Miami-Dade, Florida. As a result, any adverse economic, real estate or business conditions in this geographic area could affect our operating results. |
| ● | Demand may be affected by various factors, including the demand for hospitality derived from the University of Miami, business travelers, and transient customers, and price competition from other hotels in the Coral Gables and greater Miami, Florida market; demand for the Property’s apartments, and price competition from other apartment facilities and other residential alternatives; the demand for commercial retail space; and demand for our food and beverage facilities. If demand does not increase or if demand weakens, our operating results and growth prospects could be adversely affected. |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Organization
NRI Real Estate Investment and Technology, Inc.,
a Maryland corporation and formerly known as NRI Real Token, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 2, 2021 for the
initial purpose of owning, developing and managing THesis Miami, located at 1350 S. Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, Florida 33146. THesis
Miami includes a hotel, apartments, retail (restaurants and shopping) units and a parking garage which we refer to herein as the Property
or the real estate asset. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, NRI Real Token, LP,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Prior to November 19, 2021, the Property was owned and operated
by 1350 S Dixie Holdings LLC (the “Property Owner”) which was acquired by the Operating Partnership on November 19, 2021 (the
“Closing Date”). The Property Owner was formed on February 22, 2016. The Property Owner, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
1350 S Dixie LLC (the “Prior Operating Company”), which was also formed February 22, 2016, entered into a real estate transaction
through which it acquired land and a hotel during 2016 with the intent to develop the Property. On March 21, 2016, the Prior Operating
Company purchased the land, building, furniture and equipment for $
On July 9, 2021, the Company commenced an offering
(the “Offering”) of up to $
In accordance with ASC 810-10-15-Control
(“ASC 810-10-15”), we evaluate each of our investments and contractual relationships to determine whether they meet the guidelines
for consolidation. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), we evaluate whether
we have a controlling financial interest in that VIE. An enterprise is deemed to have a controlling financial interest if it has i) the
power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and
ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE or the rights to receive benefits from the VIE that
could be significant to the VIE. Control can also be demonstrated by the ability of a member to manage day-to-day operations, refinance
debt and sell the assets of the partnerships without the consent of the other member and the inability of the members to replace the managing
member. Based on our examination, the Operating Partnership is funded with approximately
Section 7.4.a and Section 6.1.b.viii of the Operating Agreement of NRI Real Token LP, outlines the following: the at-risk equity holders lack the ability to remove the General Partner, lack kick-out rights, and lack the ability to dissolve the Partnership. The at-risk equity holders maintain their right to receive their pro-rata share of gains and losses in the partnership per section 5 of the Operating Partnership Agreement. The at-risk equity holders are not required to absorb additional losses of the Partnership. Lastly, the legal entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. Through review of the Operating Agreement, the at-risk equity holders lack the ability to replace the fund manager or general partner, lack the ability influence or control major decisions impacting the financial performance of the entity including the ability to approve compensation, and lack the ability to determine the overall investment strategy of the entity based on section, Section 7.4 and Section 8.1 of the Operating Agreement.
Based on foregoing analysis, the Company considered ASC 810-10-15, and determined that the Company’s general partnership interest in NRI Real Token LP should be accounted for as a VIE, and as a result, the financials of NRI Real Token LP have been consolidated in accordance with ASC 810-10-15 and within the financials of the Company presented herein.
F-5
Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the general instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals), considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period. Accordingly, readers of these consolidated interim financial statements should refer to the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and the related notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s recent filing on Form 10 (and amendments thereto), as certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents
Restricted cash consists of cash held in accounts specifically for future payments of interest and real estate taxes, reserves for replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment and tenant security deposits for the residential apartment leases.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated statements of cash flows at June 30, 2022 and 2021:
| 6/30/2022 | 6/30/2021 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
| Restricted cash | ||||||||
| Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
Real estate asset, net
Costs associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of the Property were capitalized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 970-360-25, Real Estate Project Costs. Such costs include the acquisition of the land, old building and construction in progress costs which include items such as land development, construction materials, construction labor and other project costs such as interest, insurance, real estate taxes, and legal fees.
Property and equipment, also included as part of the real estate asset, are recorded at cost, with depreciation being recognized over the assets’ estimated useful life on the straight-line basis as follows:
| Years | ||
| Building and improvements | ||
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
Expenditures for major improvements and betterments are capitalized and minor repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
F-6
Income taxes
The Property Owner is organized as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the members of the Property Owner are taxed on their proportional share of the Property Owner’s taxable income (loss). Therefore, no provision for federal and state corporate income taxes has been included in these consolidated financial statements.
The Property Owner recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions that the entity has taken or expects to take on a tax return. In the unlikely event an uncertain tax position existed in which the Property Owner could incur income taxes, the Property Owner would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Property Owner determined it is probable position would not be sustained upon examination.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authority. It is the Company’s policy to accrue any interest and penalties associated with its tax obligations when paid. There were no income tax related interest or penalties for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
The Company is organized as a C Corp and the Operating Partnership is organized as a limited partnership. Jointly the Company and Operating Partnership form a REIT structure. The Company intends to elect REIT status for the 2022 tax year.
Revenue recognition
Upon completion of construction in June 2020, the Company (through the Property Owner) began generating revenues from the real estate asset. The primary sources of revenue include room and food and beverage revenue from the Company’s hotel and restaurants and rental income from the Property Owner’s residential apartments and retail space.
Rooms revenue represents revenue from the occupancy of our hotel rooms, which is driven by the occupancy and average daily rate charged. Rooms revenue includes revenue from guest no-shows, daily use, and early/late departure fees. The contracts for room stays with customers are generally short in duration and revenues are recognized as services are provided over the course of the hotel stay at the daily transaction price agreed under the contract.
Food and beverage revenue consists of revenue from the restaurants and lounges, in room dining and mini bars revenue, and banquet/catering revenue from group and social functions. Payment of the transaction price is due immediately when the customer purchases the goods and services. Therefore, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the physical possession has transferred to the customer.
Residential rental and other property income is recognized over the term of the tenant leases, which is generally for 12 months, when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the lease asset. Lease incentives to secure new tenants are recognized as they are incurred given the short-term nature of the related lease arrangements. Reimbursements from tenants for utilities and shared expenses are recognized as revenue and are included in rental and other property income in the period the expenses are incurred, with the corresponding expenses included in residential property operating expenses. Additionally, nonrefundable lease application and administrative fees are recognized as they are earned.
Parking revenue consists of transient self-parking, month-to-month rentals and valet parking. For transient self-parking and valet parking, revenue is recognized at a point in time at the respective transaction price once services are completed. For month-to-month rentals, revenue is recognized over time based on the terms of the rental agreement.
Other revenue primarily includes rental income from certain retail leases which is recognized over the term of the respective lease agreement.
F-7
Debt issuance costs
Cost incurred to acquire debt are recorded as a reduction against the notes payable. Amortization of debt issuance costs is calculated using the straight-line method over the term of the notes payable. Amortization expense during development of the Property was included in the real estate asset on the consolidated balance sheet. Upon the Property being placed into service in June 2020, amortization expense is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

On the date of the board resolution, 6,960 common shares were issued for $87,000. The total common shares outstanding after this transaction was 8,000.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January 2021, the FASB issued 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which further clarified the scope of the reference rate reform optional practical expedients and exceptions outlined in Topic 848. As a result of identified structural risks of interbank offered rates, in particular, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), reference rate reform is underway to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based. The update provides guidance in accounting for changes in contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions as a result of this reference rate reform. The optional expedients and exceptions contained within these updates, in general, only apply to contract amendments and modifications entered into prior to January 1, 2023. The provisions of these updates that will most likely affect our financial reporting process related to modifications of contracts with lenders and the related hedging contracts associated with each respective modified borrowing contract. In general, the provisions of these updates would impact the Company by allowing, among other things, the following:
| ● | Allowing modifications of debt contracts with lenders that fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 470 to be accounted for as a non- substantial modification and not be considered a debt extinguishment. |
| ● | Allowing a change to contractual terms of a hedging instrument in conjunction with reference rate reform to not require a designation of the hedging relationship. |
| ● | Allowing a change to the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment for a derivative that is a cash flow hedge to not be considered a change to the critical terms of the hedge and will not require a designation of the hedging relationship. |
We have not entered into any contract modifications yet, as it directly relates to reference rate reform, but we anticipate having to undertake such modifications in the future as a majority of our contracts with lenders and hedging counterparties are indexed to LIBOR.

| ● | a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the long-lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, |
| ● | an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset, |
| ● | a current period operating or cash flow loss with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection of forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset, and |
| ● | a current expectation that, it is more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. |
We review our real estate asset on an on-going basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value expected, as well as the effects of hotel demand, competition and other factors. Other assumptions used in the review of recoverability include the holding period and the expected terminal capitalization rate. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our real estate asset.

On January 30, 2020, the world health organization announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China (the “Covid-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the world health organization classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Therefore, should this matter continue for an extended period of time, it could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial position, however, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) act was enacted and signed into law. Management has evaluated the provisions of the act and does not believe the act will have a material impact on the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows for the periods presented below. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021, our “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Form 10, as amended on July 20, 2022 (the “Form 10”), filed with the SEC. As discussed in the section above titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations, including with respect to our future revenues and operating results. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A below as well as in the Form 10.
As used herein, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “the Company” refers to NRI Real Estate Investment and Technology, Inc., NRI Real Token LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and their subsidiaries except where the context otherwise requires.
Overview
We were incorporated on June 2, 2021, for the initial purpose of owning, developing and managing THesis Miami, located at 1350 S Dixie Highway, Coral Gables, Florida 33146. THesis Miami includes a hotel, apartments, retail (restaurants and shopping) units and a parking garage which we refer to herein as the Property. The Property was acquired by the Operating Partnership on November 19, 2021. We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, beginning with the taxable year ending December 31, 2022. We believe that, commencing with such taxable year, we have been organized and operated in such a manner so that we will qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but can provide no assurance that we will operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. We have not requested an opinion of counsel regarding our status under the Code as a REIT.
We conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. We and NRI Real Token Thesis LLC (the “Sponsor General Partner”), which is an affiliate of Nolan Reynolds International, LLC (“NRI” or the “Sponsor”) are the general partners of the Operating Partnership. We and the Operating Partnership are advised by NRI Real Token Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Advisor”) pursuant to an agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) under which the Advisor performs advisory services regarding acquisition, asset management, accounting, financing and disposition of the Property, and is responsible for managing, operating and maintaining the Property and day-to-day management of the Company.
Prior to the formation of the Company, the Property was owned and operated by 1350 S Dixie Holdings LLC (the “Property Owner”) which was acquired by the Operating Partnership. Our financial statements for the periods prior to the acquisition of the Property are those of 1350 S Dixie Holdings LLC.
On July 9, 2021, we commenced an offering (the “Offering”) of up to $85,000,000 limited partnership units (the “OP Units”) under a private placement to qualified purchasers who meet the definition of “accredited investors,” as provided in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Upon election of the limited partner, subject to certain limitations, each OP Unit is convertible into one share of common stock of the Company, to be issued in the form of digital securities (distributed ledger shares) which are designated as NRI Real Token Security Tokens (the “Security Tokens”), or, at the election of the Company, cash in an equivalent value. Each Security Token will represent one share of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Offering, which concluded on December 31, 2021, the Operating Partnership issued 7,742,309 OP Units resulting in gross offering proceeds of approximately $79.4 million. The net proceeds from the Offering, approximately $73 million, were used to redeem approximately $73 million of interests of a prior investor and to pay corresponding closing costs.
As of the date of this report, we own only the Property.

Market Outlook
According to a July 15, 2022 report from hospitality data benchmarking firm STR, Miami continues to lead all major North American markets in hotel profitability. Year-to-date, the Miami hospitality market’s total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) surpassed 2019 year-to-date levels by 128%, with an average TRevPAR of $441, and gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) surpassed 2019 year-to-date levels by 152%, with an average market GOPPAR of $222. Miami’s average year-to-date gross operating profit margin (GOP) is 50%, which is 8% higher than 2019 levels.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
As of June 30, 2022, we owned only the Property. We developed the Property with the capital investment provided by the Sponsor and a prior investor whose interest was repurchased with substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering. Operating cash needs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were met through cash flow generated by the Property, equity capital contributions and proceeds from the Senior Loan and Mezzanine Loan. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt.”
We currently have indebtedness on the Property and may in the future obtain lines of credit or other financings secured by our assets in order to bridge the acquisition of, or acquire additional properties, to fund property improvements and other capital expenditures, to make distributions, and for other purposes. In addition, we may borrow as necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including borrowings to satisfy the REIT requirement that we distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain).
The Property generates cash flow in the form of hotel room rentals, apartment rental revenue, retail rent revenue and guest expenditures, which are reduced by operating expenditures, debt service payments and corporate general and administrative expenses. Our Property is owned by a direct subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which leases the hotel portion of the Property to the NRI Real Token Tenant, LLC (the “TRS Lessee”). The TRS Lessee is required to make rent payments to the owner of the Property pursuant to the lease agreement relating to the Property. Such TRS Lessee’s ability to make rent payments to the owner and our liquidity, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders, are dependent upon the TRS Lessee’s ability to generate cash flow from the hotel operations of the Property. The TRS Lessee is dependent upon Hersha and Alpareno, with whom it has entered into a hotel management agreement to operate the hotel operations and a food and beverage management agreement to operate the food and beverage operations, respectively.
Debt
Starwood Property Trust Debt Agreements
Senior Loan
On November 19, 2021, 1350 S Dixie, LLC amended and restated its existing $116,250,000 loan (the “Senior Loan”) to refinance the Property. The Senior Loan is secured by a first mortgage on the Property and was made by Starwood Property Mortgage SUB-12-A, L.L.C., as Initial Lender and Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Initial Lender and any other parties that may become lenders under the Senior Loan. The Senior Loan has an initial maturity date of May 9, 2024, with two options to extend for one year each. The conditions for each extension include (i) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the principal balance of the Loan being extended, (ii) with respect to the first extension option, the property must have achieved a debt yield of not less than 6.50%, and with respect to the second option, the property shall have achieved a Debt Yield of not less than seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%).
The Senior Loan bears interest at 2.25% over LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of 0.25%) per annum, but reduces to 2.00% over LIBOR per annum if the Administrative Agent determines that the Property has a achieved a Debt Yield of not less than 6.75 for one calendar quarter.
3
Mezzanine Loan
On November 19, 2021, 1350 S Dixie Mezz Borrower, LLC (“Mezzanine Borrower”), amended and restated its existing $33,750,000 mezzanine loan agreement with Starwood Property Mortgage SUB-12-A, L.L.C as initial lender and administrative agent on behalf of itself and future lenders as part of the refinancing of the Property. The Mezzanine Loan is secured by a pledge by Mezzanine Borrower of its 100% ownership interest in 1350 S Dixie LLC. The Mezzanine Loan has an initial maturity date of May 9, 2024, with two options to extend for one year each. The conditions for each extension include (i) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the principal balance of the Loan being extended, (ii) with respect to the first extension option, the property must have achieved a debt yield of not less than 6.50%, and with respect to the second option, the property must have achieved a Debt Yield of not less than seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%).
The Mezzanine Loan bears interest at 11.138890% over LIBOR (with a LIBOR floor of .25%) per annum, but reduces to 10.88890% over LIBOR per annum if the Administrative Agent determines that the Property has achieved a Debt Yield of not less than 6.75% for one calendar quarter. Generally, if means do not exist for determining LIBOR, or a different index is being used in the market, an alternative index and spread will be used, which is intended to result in an interest rate charged to Borrower equivalent to the interest rate being charged at the time LIBOR is discontinued as the index.
Senior Loan and Mezzanine Loan Amendments
On February 14, 2022, the Senior Loan and Mezzanine Loan were amended to, among other things, allow for distributions of cash and shares by the Company to permit compliance with applicable tax rules. Until certain cash flow tests are met, annual cash distributions will be capped at $150,000 per year while distributions of Company shares will be capped at $600,000 per year, permitting a combined distribution of $750,000 per annum. While the Company considers these distribution caps sufficient for calendar year 2022, any additional required distributions to comply with such tax rules will require lender consent. While there can be no assurance, the Company estimates that it will satisfy the cash flow test thresholds in 2023.
Results of Operations
The following sections contain comparisons of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021
Revenue
Total revenue was $8.4 million and $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Total revenue was $17.5 million and $$10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 included $5.6 million in hotel and restaurant revenue (which includes $2.9 million in room revenue and $2.7 million food and beverage revenue), $2.1 million residential rental and other property income, $318,421 parking revenue and $422,275 other revenue. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included $4.2 million in hotel and restaurant revenue (which includes $2.2 million in room revenue and $2.0 million food and beverage revenue), $1.6 million residential rental and other property income, $256,024 parking revenue and $58,405 other revenue.
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included $11.9 million in hotel and restaurant revenue (which includes $6.1 million in room revenue and $5.7 million food and beverage revenue), $4.1 million residential rental and other property income, $692,276 parking revenue and $871,300 other revenue. Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included $7.2 million in hotel and restaurant revenue (which includes $3.6 million in room revenue and $3.6 million food and beverage revenue), $3.1 million residential rental and other property income, $479,995 parking revenue and $115,902 other revenue.
We expect residential revenue will increase in future periods as a result of renewing leases and signing new leases at increased market rents relative to in-place rents.

Operating Expenses
Hotel and Restaurant Operating Expenses
Hotel and restaurant operating expenses were $5.1 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Hotel and restaurant operating expenses were $10.2 million and 6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These hotel and restaurant operating expenses consisted primarily of salaries and wages. We expect hotel and restaurant operating expense to increase due to increased occupancy adding labor and occupied room costs and increased covers at the restaurant adding additional cost of goods sold as well as higher labor cost. Ongoing labor shortages have negatively impacted the business and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future, which has led to increased overtime for existing staff and reliance on contract labor at a higher labor rate.
Residential Property Operating Expenses
Residential property operating expenses were $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Residential property operating expenses were $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These residential property operating expenses consisted primarily of salaries and wages and marketing. We expect residential property operating expenses to increase slightly as a result of unit maintenance related to unit turnover.
Parking Operating Expenses
Parking operating expenses was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Parking operating expenses was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These parking operating expenses consisted primarily of salaries and wages. We expect parking operating expenses to increase in the future due to additional valet personnel related to increased occupancy and higher food and beverage demand.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses were $0.8 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other operating expenses were $1.5 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These other operating expenses consisted primarily of shared facilities expenses. We expect other operating expense to increase in the future as a result of higher occupancy within the retail component of the Property.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense was $1.5 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Depreciation expense was $3.1 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These depreciation expenses were related to depreciation of the real estate asset. We expect these amounts to remain fairly consistent as construction is mostly complete.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $2.2 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense was $4.2 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense in this period related primarily to the Senior Loan and the Mezzanine Loan. The interest rate for both the Senior Loan and the Mezzanine Loan varies based on applicable one month LIBOR rate. As a result, increased LIBOR rates increased our borrowing costs for both loans in the second quarter. We expect that in future periods our interest expense will vary based on the amount of our borrowings, which will depend on the cost of borrowings.

Key Business Metrics
Our management reviews a number of key performance indicators, each as described below, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions.
Hotel
Average Daily Rate (ADR)
ADR is a performance indicator that management believes reflects the average room revenue generated by the Property. Our management believes ADR is a key metric to measure our hotel business because it reflects our pricing power in the market and can be compared against our competitive set to gauge our Property’s relative competitiveness. We define ADR as the total room revenue generated over a given period divided by the total number of rooms sold over the same period.
The table below sets forth our ADR with respect to the hotel at the Property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||
| Average Daily Rate (ADR) | $ | 223.54 | $ | 181.80 | $ | 228.00 | $ | 173.48 | ||||||||
Hotel Occupancy
Hotel Occupancy is a performance indicator that management believes reflects market demand for room nights. Our management believes that Hotel Occupancy is a key metric to measure our hotel business because it measures how many room nights are sold over a given period of time, and can be compared against our competitive set to gauge our Property’s relative performance. We define Hotel Occupancy as total number of room nights sold over a given period divided by the total number of room nights available over the same period.
The table below sets forth our average annual Hotel Occupancy with respect to the hotel at the Property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||
| Hotel Occupancy | 57.8 | % | 53.1 | % | 60.2 | % | 46.2 | % | ||||||||
Revenue per Available Room (RevPar)
RevPar is a performance indicator that management believes reflects Hotel performance from a room revenue perspective. Our management believes RevPar is a key metric to measure our hotel business because RevPar combines both pricing power (Average Daily Rate) as well as room demand (Hotel Occupancy). We define RevPar as Average Daily Rate for a given period multiplied by the Hotel Occupancy over the same period.
The table below sets forth our RevPar with respect to the hotel at the Property for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021.
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||
| Revenue per Available Room (RevPar) | $ | 129.17 | $ | 96.57 | $ | 137.34 | $ | 80.20 | ||||||||
Leased properties (residential and retail)
Leased Occupancy
Leased Occupancy is a performance indicator that management believes reflects the demand and income potential of the leased components of our Property. Our management believes that Leased Occupancy is a key metric to measure the performance of our apartments and retail businesses because leased occupancy reflects the current demand for our apartment or retail units and the potential ability of these units to generate income. We define Leased Occupancy for the apartment component as the total number of apartment units leased divided by the total number of rentable apartment units in the apartment component of the Property. We define Leased Occupancy for the retail component as the total number of retail square footage leased divided by the total number of rentable square footage in the retail component of the Property.
The table below sets forth our Leased Occupancy with respect to the apartments and retail components at the Property as of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
Real Estate Asset, net
Real estate asset, net is recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of up to 39 years for buildings and improvements, two to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our real estate asset for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation to record on an annual basis with respect to our real estate asset. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income because if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our real estate asset, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis.
Based on the occurrence of certain events or changes in the circumstances, we review the recoverability of the real estate asset’s carrying value. Such changes in circumstances include the following:

We review our real estate asset on an on-going basis to evaluate the existence of any of the aforementioned events or changes in circumstances that would require us to test for recoverability. In general, our review of recoverability is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. These estimates consider factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value expected, as well as the effects of hotel demand, competition and other factors. Other assumptions used in the review of recoverability include the holding period and the expected terminal capitalization rate. If impairment exists due to the inability to recover the carrying value of a property, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the values of our real estate asset.
Revenue Recognition
Residential rental and other property income are recognized over the term of tenant leases, which is generally twelve months, when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Lease incentives to secure new tenants are recognized as they are incurred given the short-term nature of the related lease arrangements. Reimbursements from tenants for utilities and shared expenses are recognized as revenue and are included in rental and other property income in the period expenses are incurred, with corresponding expenses included in residential property operating expenses. Additionally, non-refundable lease application and administrative fees are recognized as they are earned.
Income Taxes
The Company believes it has been organized and operated in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2022, and it intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with such year. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and excluding any net capital gain, to stockholders. The Company’s intention is to adhere to the REIT qualification requirements and to maintain its qualification for taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on the portion of taxable income that is distributed to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes at the regular corporate rate and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. As a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through the Company’s TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes at the applicable rates. The TRS accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax basis, and for net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of all available evidence, including the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company performs an annual review for any uncertain tax positions and, if necessary, will record the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Related-Party Transaction and Agreements
We have entered into agreements with the Advisor and its affiliates whereby we have paid, and may continue to pay, certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, the Advisor or its affiliates for acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, and asset and property management fees and expenses. See Note 5 – Related Party Transactions and Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for descriptions and additional information regarding these agreements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks have been omitted as permitted under rules applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We have established disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, disclosed and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms. This information is also accumulated and communicated to our management and Board of Directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, as of June 30, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
We have not engaged an independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting as of any balance sheet date or for any period reported in our financial statements. Presently, we are a non-accelerated filer and therefore our management is not presently required to perform an annual assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This requirement will apply in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for so long as we remain a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls’ effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and, based on an evaluation of our controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.
