ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part II, Item 8 of this Report. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 were affected by a acquisitions and disposition, refinancing activity, development activity as discussed below.
Management's Overview
We are an externally advised and managed real estate investment company that owns a diverse portfolio of income-producing properties and land held for development throughout the Southern United States. Our portfolio of income-producing properties includes residential apartment communities, office buildings and other commercial properties. Our investment strategy includes acquiring existing income-producing properties as well as developing new properties on land already owned or acquired for a specific development project.
Our operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”) in accordance with an Advisory Agreement. Pillar’s duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities. Pillar also arranges our debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. We have no employees. Employees of Pillar render services to us in accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement. Pillar is considered to be a related party due to its common ownership with American Realty Investors, Inc. (“ARL”), who is our controlling shareholder.
The following is a summary of our recent acquisition, disposition, financing and development activities:
Acquisitions and Dispositions
•On November 19, 2018, we formed the Victory Abode Apartments, LLC ("VAA") joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). In connection with the formation of VAA, we sold a 50% ownership interest in certain multifamily apartment projects to Macquarie for a $236.8 million cash payment, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $154.1 million. We then immediately transferred our respective ownership interests in the multifamily apartments ("VAA Portfolio") to VAA in exchange for a 50% voting interest / 49% profit participation interest ("Class A interest") in VAA and note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”) in accordance with the terms of a contribution agreement (the “Contribution”). Upon completion of the Contribution, VAA owned and controlled 52 multifamily apartments. VAA assumed all liabilities of those properties, including mortgage debt insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
•On May 31, 2019, we sold Westwood, a 120 unit multifamily property in Mary Ester, Florida for $3.1 million, resulting in a loss on the sale of $0.1 million.
•During the year ended December 31, 2019, we sold 105.1 acres of land for an aggregate sales price of $30.0 million and purchased 41.9 acres for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.6 million.
•On March 5, 2020, we acquired a 49.2 acres land parcel in Kent, Ohio for $5.4 million that was funded by a $2.0 million cash payment and a $3.4 million note payable that bears interest at 10% and matures on November 13, 2024.
•On May 1, 2020, we sold Villager, a 33 unit multifamily property in Fort Walton, Florida for $2.4 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.0 million.
•On July 16, 2020, we sold Farnham Park, a 144 unit multifamily property in Port Arthur, Texas for $13.3 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $2.7 million.
•On September 14, 2020, we sold Bridge View Plaza, a retail property in La Crosse, Wisconsin for $5.3 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $4.6 million.
•During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold a total of 58.8 acres of land from our holdings in Windmill Farms for $12.9 million, in aggregate, resulting in gains on sale of $11.1 million. In addition, we sold 26.8 acres of land from our holdings in Mercer Crossing during the year ended December 31, 2020 for $15.8 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $10.3 million.
Financing Activities
•On February 15, 2018, we issued $39.2 million in Series B bonds (See Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements) that bear interest at 6.80% and mature on July 31, 2025. The proceeds were used to fund development activity, pay down debt and other general corporate purposes..
•On July 19, 2018, we issued an additional $19.8 million of Series B bonds (See Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements) in a private placement. We used the proceeds from the issuance to fund our development activities.
•On July 28, 2019, we paid off the $41.5 million mortgage note payable on Browning Place, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $5.2 million. Concurrent with the repayment of the mortgage note payable, we issued $78.1 million of Series C bonds (See Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements), which are collateralized by Browning Place, bear interest at 4.65% and mature on January 31, 2023.
•On November 30, 2020, issued $19.7 million in additional Series A bonds (See Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements) for $18.8 million in net proceeds. We used the proceeds to fund in part our bond payments that were due on January 30, 2021.
•On December 3, 2020, we extended our $14.7 million loan from HSW Partners to June 17, 2021.
•On March 2, 2021, we extended our $1.2 million loan on Athens to August 28, 2022.
•On March 4, 2021, we received a commitment from our lender to extend the maturity of our $10.4 million loan on Windmill Farms until February 28, 2023 at a reduced interest rate of 5%.
Development Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we completed the construction of Parc at Denham Springs Phase II and Sugar Mill Phase III for a total cost of $17.2 million and $14.2 million, respectively.
Our current developments projects at December 31, 2020, are as follow: (dollars in thousands)

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“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.
Some of these estimates and assumptions include judgments on revenue recognition, estimates for common area maintenance and real estate tax accruals, provisions for uncollectible accounts, impairment of long-lived assets, the allocation of purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, capitalization of costs and fair value measurements. Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our notes to the consolidated financial statements. However, the following policies are deemed to be critical.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We apply the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to the valuation of real estate assets. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in
developing fair value estimates and require disclosure of fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3 measurements), such as the reporting entity’s own data.
The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and includes three levels defined as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Related Parties
We apply ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, to evaluate business relationships. Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing our own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, certain environmental laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such materials.
We are not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.
Inflation
The effects of inflation on our operations are not quantifiable. Revenues from property operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs. Fluctuations in the rate of inflation also affect sales values of properties and the ultimate gain to be realized from property sales. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, our earnings from short-term investments, the cost of new financings and the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.
Results of Operations
Many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred because of the transactions affecting our properties described above, including those related to the Lease-Up Properties and the Disposition Properties (each as defined below).
For purposes of the discussion below, we define "Same Properties" as those properties that are substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Non-Same Properties for comparison purposes include those properties that have been recently constructed or leased-up (“Lease-up Properties”) and properties that have been disposed of ("Disposition Properties"). A developed property is considered leased-up, when it achieves occupancy of 80% or more.We move a property in and out of Same Properties based on whether the property is substantially leased-up and in operation for the entirety of both periods of the comparison. Accordingly, the Same Properties consist of all properties, excluding the Lease-up Properties and the Disposition Properties for the periods of comparison.
For the comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019, the Lease-up Properties are Forest Grove, Parc at Denham Springs Phase II and Sugar Mill Phase III; and the Disposition Properties are Bridge View Plaza, Farnham Park and Villager.
The following table shows the total number of income-producing properties, and other key financial measures as of December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019:
Our $33.0 million increase in net income during the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily attributed to the following:
•The $1.5 million increase in operating profits in our multifamily segment is primarily due a $2.1 million increase at our Lease-Up Properties offset in part by a decrease at our Disposition Properties. The increase in profit at our Lease-Up Properties is due to an increase in occupancy at Overlook at Allenville Phase II, Parc at Denham Springs Phase II and Forest Grove in 2020.
•The $5.0 million increase in operating profits in our commercial segment is primarily due to a $6.0 million lease termination payment at Browning Place offset in part by a decrease in rental revenue at our Same Properties due to a decline in occupancy. The lease termination payment relates to a former tenant that has been replaced by a new tenant at increased rents.
•The $5.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2019 is due to the early extinguishment of our mortgage note payable on Browning Place (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
•The $21.7 million increase in gain on sale of assets is due to an increase of $10.3 million sales of land; the sale of Bridge View Plaza, Farnham Park and Villager in 2020 (See "Acquisitions and Dispositions" in Management's Overview); and the recognition of $3.0 million in gain in 2020 from sales that had been previously deferred.
•The $1.9 million increase of income (loss) from joint ventures is due to the increased in occupancy of the various lease-up properties at VAA.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2018:
See Item 7 of Part II in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2020 for a discussion of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of cash have been, and will continue to be, property operations; proceeds from land and income-producing property sales; collection of mortgage notes receivable; collections of receivables from related companies; refinancing of existing mortgage notes payable; and additional borrowings, including mortgage notes and bonds payable, and lines of credit.
Our principal liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses; meet debt service and principal repayment obligations including balloon payments on maturing debt; fund capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing costs; fund development costs not covered under construction loans; and fund possible property acquisitions.
We anticipates that our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020, along with cash that will be generated in 2021 from notes and interest receivables, will be sufficient to meet all of our cash requirements. We intends to selectively sell land and income-producing assets, refinance or extend real estate debt and seek additional borrowings secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements. Although history cannot predict the future, historically, we have been successful at refinancing and extending a portion of our current maturity obligations.
Cash Flow Summary
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Part II, Item 8. “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below (dollars in thousands):

The increase in cash from operating activities is primarily due to the $45.9 million decrease in receivable from related parties in 2019.
The increase in cash provided by investing activities is primarily due to a $16.2 million decrease in development and renovation of real estate and a $12.4 million increase in proceeds from sale of assets offset in part by a $11.6 million decrease in originations and advances on notes receivable and a $9.4 million decrease in collection of notes receivable.
The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a $73.1 million decrease in proceeds from mortgages, notes and bonds payable offset in part by a $42.0 million decrease in payments of mortgages, notes and bonds payable. The decrease in proceeds and payment on mortgage, notes and bonds payable is due to the refinancing of Browning Place in 2019 (See "Financing Activities" in Management's Overview).
Funds From Operations ("FFO")
We use FFO in addition to net income to report our operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We also presents FFO excluding the impact of the effects of foreign currency translation.
FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as we believe real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. We believe that such a presentation also provides investors with a meaningful measure of our operating results in comparison to the operating results of other real estate companies. In addition, we believe that FFO excluding gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions
provide useful supplemental information regarding our performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our results.
We believe that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. We also caution that FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies.
We compensate for the limitations of FFO by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of net income to FFO and FFO-diluted. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
The following reconciles our net income attributable to FFO and FFO-basic and diluted, excluding (loss) gain from foreign currency transactions for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (dollars and shares in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of and
Stockholders of American Realty Investors, Inc.
Dallas, Texas
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Realty Investors, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Realty Investors, Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Impairment of investment in real estate
Description of the Matter
The Company’s net investment in real estate totaled $377.3 million as of December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company periodically assesses whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of its properties and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows for a real estate asset are less than its carrying amount, at which time the real estate asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Auditing the Company's impairment assessment for real estate assets was complex because of the subjective auditor judgment necessary in evaluating management’s identification of indicators of potential impairment. Our evaluation of management’s identification of indicators of impairment included our related assessment of such indicators, either individually or in combination, in determining whether a triggering event has occurred that requires the Company to evaluate the recoverability of the real estate asset.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the Company’s real estate asset impairment assessment process. Our testing of the Company’s impairment assessment included, among other procedures, evaluating significant judgments applied in determining whether indicators of impairment existed for the Company’s real estate assets. Our procedures included obtaining evidence to corroborate such judgments and searching for evidence contrary to such judgments, including searching for significant tenant write-offs or upcoming lease expirations with little prospects for replacement tenants. We also searched for any significant declines in operating results of a real estate asset due that could be a triggering event or an indicator of potential impairment.
Collectability of Notes Receivable
Description of the Matter
At December 31, 2020, the Company had notes receivable in the amount of $130.6 million. The Company performs an assessment as to whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under these notes receivable is deemed probable of collection. Subsequently, for notes where the Company concludes that it is not probable that it will collect substantially all payments due under the note, the Company creates an allowance for any amounts not probable of collection.
Auditing the Company's collectability assessment is complex due to the judgment involved in the Company’s determination of the collectability of these notes. The determination involves consideration of the terms of the note, whether or not the note is currently performing, and any security for the note.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over notes receivable and their collectability assessment. Our testing included among other things, confirming selected notes receivable, determining if the notes were performing according to their terms and testing the Company’s evaluation of the underlying security interest if necessary.
Revenue Recognition (straight-line) for commercial tenants
Description of the Matter
During 2020, the Company recognized office rental revenues and tenant recoveries of $37.2 million and recorded tenant receivables of $.1 million and deferred rent receivables of $3.2 million at December 31, 2020. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes revenue from commercial properties on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.
Auditing the Company's straight-line calculations is complex due to the free rent periods, lease amendments and escalation clauses contained in many of the leases.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding of the Company's controls over office rental revenues and tenant recoveries, including controls over management’s calculation of the straight-line calculation and deferred rent receivable. To test the straight-line rent revenue and deferred rent receivable, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the data and assumptions used in determining the calculation and agreeing amounts in the calculation to copies of lease agreements. In addition, we tested the complet
Emphasis of Liquidity
As described in the Note 17, management intends to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information contained in Schedules III and IV has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
1. Organization
As used herein, the terms “the Company”, “We”, “Our”, or “Us” refer to American Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation which was formed in 1999. Our common stock is listed and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “ARL”. Over 80% of our stock is owned by related party entities.
Our primary business is the acquisition, development and ownership of income-producing multifamily apartment communities and commercial real estate properties. In addition, we opportunistically acquire land for future development in in-fill or high-growth suburban markets. From time to time and when we believe it appropriate to do so, we will also sell land and income-producing properties. We generate revenues by leasing apartment units to residents, and leasing office, industrial and retail space to various for-profit businesses as well as certain local, state and federal agencies. We also generate revenues from gains on sales of income-producing properties and land.
We own approximately 78.4% of Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI") and substantially all of our operations are conducted through TCI, whose common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “TCI”. Accordingly, we include TCI’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements. Substantially all of TCI's assets are held by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Properties Capital Ltd (“SPC”), which was formed for the purpose of raising funds by issuing non-convertible bonds that are listed and traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE").
At December 31, 2020, our portfolio of income-producing properties consisted of:
● Six commercial properties consisting of five office buildings and 1 retail property comprising in aggregate of approximately 1,600,000 square feet;
● Ten multifamily apartment communities owned directly by us comprising in 1,639 units, excluding apartments being developed;
● Approximately 1,980 acres of developed and undeveloped land; and
● Fifty-one multifamily apartment communities totaling 10,137 units owned by our 50% owned investment in VAA.
Our day to day operations are managed by Pillar Income Asset Management, Inc. (“Pillar”). Their duties include, but are not limited to, locating, evaluating and recommending real estate and real estate-related investment opportunities and arranging debt and equity financing with third party lenders and investors. All of the Companies employees are Pillar employees. Our commercial properties are managed by Regis Realty Prime, LLC (“Regis”). Regis provides leasing, construction management and brokerage services. Our multifamily properties are managed by outside management companies. Pillar and Regis are considered to be related parties (See Note 12 – Related Party Transactions).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America.
We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We have determined that we are a primary beneficiary of the VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impacts its economic performance, and (ii) the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including ownership interest, management representation, ability to control decision and other contractual rights. We account for entities in which we have less than a controlling financial interest or entities where we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the equity
AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
method of accounting. Accordingly, we include our share of the net earnings or losses of these entities in our results of operations.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Real estate, depreciation, and impairment
Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and improvements—10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment—5 to 10 years).
We assess whether an indicator of impairment in the value of our real estate exists by considering expected future operating income, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other economic factors. Such factors include projected rental revenue, operating costs and capital expenditures as well as estimated holding periods and capitalization rates. If an impairment indicator exists, the determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, excluding interest expense. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is determined by comparing the fair value, as determined by a discounted cash flows analysis, with the carrying value of the related assets. We generally hold and operate our income producing real estate long-term, which decreases the likelihood of their carrying values not being recoverable. Real estate classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Real estate held for sale
We classify properties as held for sale when certain criteria are met in accordance with GAAP. At that time, we present the assets and obligations of the property held for sale separately in our consolidated balance sheet and we cease recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell. We did not have any real estate assets classified as held for sale at December 31, 2020 or 2019.
Cost capitalization
The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of property, legal fees and other acquisition costs. We also capitalize development costs including costs directly related to planning, developing, initial leasing and constructing a property as well as interest, property taxes, insurance, and other direct project costs incurred during the period of development. Capitalized costs also include direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the project. Indirect costs include real estate taxes, insurance and certain shared administrative costs. In assessing the amounts of direct and indirect costs to be capitalized, allocations are made to projects based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent on each activity. Indirect costs not clearly associated with specific projects are expensed as period costs.
We consider a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the receipt of certificates of occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. We cease capitalization on the portion (1) substantially completed and (2) occupied or held available for occupancy, and we capitalize only those costs associated with the portion under construction.
Deferred leasing costs
We capitalize leasing costs on our commercial properties, which include commissions paid to outside brokers, legal costs incurred to negotiate and document a lease agreement and any internal costs that may be applicable. We allocate these costs to individual tenant leases and amortize them over the related lease term.
AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Fair value measurement
Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value we apply the following hierarchy:
Level 1 —Unadjusted quoted prices for identical and unrestricted assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 —Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Related parties
Related parties are persons or entities who have one or more of the following characteristics, which include entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, trust for the benefit of persons including principal owners of the entities and members of their immediate families, management personnel of the entity and members of their immediate families and other parties with which the entity may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the decision making of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests, or affiliates of the entity.
Recognition of revenue
Rental revenue includes fixed minimum rents, reimbursement of operating costs and other leasing income. Rental revenue for residential property, which is generally leased for twelve months or less, is recorded when due from residents, whereas rental revenue for commercial properties, which is generally leased for more than twelve months, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.
Reimbursements of operating costs, as allowed under most of our commercial tenant leases, consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, and are recognized as revenue in the period in which the recoverable expenses are incurred. We record these reimbursements on a “gross” basis, since we generally are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers; we have discretion in selecting the supplier and have the credit risk with respect to paying the supplier.
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for all past due rents and operating expense reimbursements considered to be uncollectible.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, for which cost approximates fair value. Restricted cash includes cash balances held in escrow by financial institutions under the terms of certain secured notes payable and certain unsecured bonds payable.
Concentration of credit risk
We maintain our cash balances at commercial banks and through investment companies, the deposits that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At December 2020 and 2019, the Company maintained balances in excess of the insured amount.
AMERICAN REALTY INVESTORS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Income taxes
We are a “C” corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we are included in the May Realty Holdings, Inc. (the "MRHI"). consolidated group for tax purposes. We have a tax sharing agreement that specifies the manner in which the group will share the consolidated tax liability and also how certain tax attributes are to be treated among members of the group.
Comprehensive income (loss)
Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) are the same for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Use of estimates
In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, it is necessary for 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense for the year ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This standard is intended to improve the accounting when considering indirect interests held through related parties under common control for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020, did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
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. The standard provides guidance, optional expedients and exceptions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The standard was effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. We have mortgage notes payable with interest rates that reference LIBOR, and therefore, we will adopt this standard when LIBOR is discontinued.
On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A (“Q&A”) related to the application of the lease guidance in ASC 842 for the accounting impact of lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Q&A, allows an entity to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. As a result of this election, an entity will not have to analyze each lease to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the lease and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842, as long as the concessions do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. Our adoption of the guidance of the Q&A did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements during the year ended December 2020.

5. Operating Segments
Our segments are based on the internal reporting that we review for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two reportable segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties and (ii) the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate properties. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses, advisory fees, interest income and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

9. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
On November 19, 2018, we formed the VAA joint venture with the Macquarie Group (“Macquarie”). In connection with the formation of VAA, we sold a 50% ownership interest in certain multifamily properties to Macquarie for a $236,800 cash payment, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $154,100. We then immediately transferred our respective ownership interests in the multifamily projects ("VAA Portfolio") to VAA in exchange for a 50% voting interest / 49% profit participation interest ("Class A interest") in VAA and note payable (“Mezzanine Loan”) in accordance with the terms of a contribution agreement (the “Contribution”). Upon completion of the Contribution, VAA owned and controlled 52 multifamily properties. VAA assumed all liabilities of those properties, including mortgage debt insured by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”).
Concurrent with the Contribution, VAA issued Class B interests with a 2% profits participation interest and no voting rights to Daniel J. Moos, our former President and Chief Executive Officer (“Class B Member”). The Class B Member serves as the Manager of VAA.
Interest on the Mezzanine loan is limited to cash generated from the properties and matures concurrently with the termination of VAA. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the Mezzanine Loan as additional equity interest and includes any interest payments accrued as income from unconsolidated joint ventures.
We also own a 20% ownership interest in a 20% interest in Gruppa Florentina, LLC ("Milano"), which operates several pizza parlors in Central and Northern California. Milano also has 23 franchised locations, including two operating, under the trade name Angelo & Vito’s Pizzerias.

11. Bonds Payable
We have issued three series of nonconvertible bonds ("Bonds') through SPC, which are traded on the TASE. The Bonds are denominated in New Israeli Shekels ("NIS") and provide for semiannual principal and interest payments through maturity.
On February 2, 2020, the S&P Global Ratings of our Series A and Series C bonds increased to 'ilA-' from 'ilBBB+'. In addition, the rating on our Series C bonds increased to 'ilA' from 'ilA-' rating due to the expectation of continued improvement in coverage ratios and the expansion of our portfolio.
In connection with the Bonds, we incurred a (loss) gain on foreign currency transactions of $(13,378), $(15,108), and $12,399, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. From September 23, 2019 to December 31, 2019, we had hedging agreement that effectively prevented the exchange rate for the NIS to the U.S. Dollar from falling below three.
The outstanding balance of our Bonds at December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

13. Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interest represents the third party ownership interest in TCI and Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. ("IOR"). We owned 78.4% of TCI and 81.1% in in IOR during the years ended December 31, 2020.
14. Stockholders Equity
Dividends:
Our decision to declare dividends on common stock are determined on an annual basis following the end of each year. In accordance with that policy, no dividends on our common stock were declared for 2020, 2019, or 2018. Future distributions to common stockholders will be determined in light of conditions then existing, including our financial condition and requirements, future prospects, restrictions in financing agreements, business conditions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Preferred Stock:
We are authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of Series A 10.0% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock with a par value of $2.00 per share with a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Dividends are payable quarterly at the annual rate of $1.00 per share, or $.25 per share when declared. The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at 90.0% of the average daily closing price of our common stock for the prior 20 trading days.
15. Deferred Income
In previous years, the Company has sold properties to related parties where we have had continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the sale of the properties. Because of the continuing involvement associated with the sale, the sales criteria for the full accrual method is not met, and as such the Company has deferred some or all of the gain recognition and accounted for the sale by applying the finance, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria is met. The gains on these transactions have been deferred until the properties are sold to a non-related third party. As of December 31, 2020, we had deferred gain of $19,821.
16. Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2020, our tax years for 2019, 2018, and 2017 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2020, we are no longer subject to U.S federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2016.
The 2020 and 2019 effective tax rate is driven primarily by the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by congress on December 22, 2017. This act reduced the statutory tax rate for corporations to 21% starting in 2019. As a result, our tax assets were remeasured to reflect the new tax rate for future years with the impact on the 2018 provision for income taxes.

We have state net operating losses in many of the various states in which we operate.
We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2020, we had a net deferred tax asset due to tax deductions available to us in future years. However, as we could not determine that it was more likely than not that we would realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, we established a 100% valuation allowance.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
We believes that we will generate excess cash from property operations in the next twelve months; such excess, however, might not be sufficient to discharge all of our obligations as they become due. We intend to sell income-producing assets, refinance real estate and obtain additional borrowings primarily secured by real estate to meet our liquidity requirements.
We were the primary guarantor, on a $24,300 mezzanine loan between UHF and a lender. The guarantee was remove on January 29, 2021, concurrent with the repayment of the loan by UHF.
We are the defendant in ongoing litigation with Mr. David Clapper and related entities (collectively, "Clapper”) regarding a multifamily property transaction that occurred in 1988. In March 2016, the court ruled in favor of Clapper and awarded them approximately $59,000. We appealed the ruling and the trial has been set to begin in May 2021.
We were the plaintiff in a lawsuit against Dynex Commercial, Inc. (“Dynex”) for failure to fulfill certain loan commitments. In January 2015, the court awarded us with a judgment of $24,800. We are pursuing all legal means to collect this award. However, due to the uncertainty of the collectability of the award, the receivable has been fully reserved.
In February 2019, we were charged in a lawsuit brought by Paul Berger (“Berger”) that alleges that we a completed improper sales and/or transfers of property with IOR. Berger requests that we pay off various related party loans to IOR and that IOR then distribute the funds to its shareholders. We intend to vigorously defend against the allegations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
In connection with the formation of VAA, ten of the properties that we contributed to the joint venture are subject to an earn-out provision that provides for a remeasurement of the value of those properties after a two-year period following the completion of construction. As of December 31, 2020, we have recorded a liability of $10,000, which we believe is the amount that will be required to settle our obligation. We have been unable to reach agreement with our joint venture partner on the remeasured value. As a result, the parties have filed for arbitration in accordance with the joint venture agreement.
