Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that review and evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented as of December 31, 2021, were effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
• pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company;
• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of a company; and
• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial transactions.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.

Adoption of 2022 Incentive Plan
In March 2022, our board of directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2022 Incentive Plan. This plan permits us to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of certain awards.
Correction of Information in Current Report on Form 8-K Furnished on, and Press Release issued on, March 14, 2022.
Due to an error, our press release issued March 14, 2022 (page 9 to exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC on March 14, 2022(the “8-K”)) and the supplemental financial information (page 5 to exhibit 99.2 to our 8-K) incorrectly reported the number of shares used in calculating in such documents per share FFO and AFFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The incorrect number of shares is 17,317,596. The correct number of shares is 18,240,532 .This error did not impact the values reported in the 8-K (including the exhibits thereto) for per share FFO and AFFO as such reported values were correct. We do not hereby incorporate by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K any of the information included in our 8-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of BRT Apartments Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BRT Apartments Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (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 the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Joint Venture Consolidation Assessment
Joint Venture Consolidation Assessment
Description of the matter
The Company accounted for certain investments in real estate joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were $112.3 million. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, for each venture the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture.
Auditing management’s joint venture consolidation analyses was complex and highly judgmental due to the subjectivity in assessing which activities most significantly impact the respective joint venture’s economic performance based on the purpose and design of the entity over the duration of its expected life and assessing which party has rights to direct those activities.
How we addressed the matter in our audit
To test the Company’s consolidation assessment for real estate joint ventures, our procedures included, among others, reviewing joint venture agreements and discussing with management the nature of the rights conveyed to the Company through the joint venture agreements. We reviewed management’s assessment of the activities that would most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and evaluated whether the joint venture agreements provided participating or protective rights to the Company. We also evaluated transactions with the joint ventures for events which would require a reconsideration of previous consolidation conclusions.
/s/ Ernst & Young LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

NOTE 1— ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (“BRT” or the “Company”) owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, develops multi-family properties. These multi-family properties may be wholly owned by us or by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At December 31, 2021, BRT: (i) wholly-owns ten multi-family properties located in seven states with an aggregate of 2,576 units and a carrying value of $ 291,538,000 ; and (ii) has ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 23 multi-family properties located in eight states with an aggregate of 6,697 units, and the carrying value of its net equity investment is $ 112,347,000 . In total, the Company has multi-family properties in 11 states, most of which are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $ 6,400,000 .
BRT conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for Federal income tax purposes.
Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi-family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York was determined not to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs. Additionally, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
Income Tax Status
The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The board of directors may, at its option, elect to revoke or terminate the Company's election to qualify as a real estate investment trust.
The Company will not be subject to federal, and generally state and local taxes on amounts it distributes to stockholders, provided it distributes 90% of its ordinary taxable income and meets other conditions. The Company currently has net operating loss carryforwards which it can use to reduce taxable income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740 - "Income Taxes", the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company's income tax returns for the previous six years are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue from multi-family properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Rental payments are due in advance. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year .
Rental revenue from commercial properties, including the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases, net of any rent concessions and lease incentives, is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease.
Real Estate Properties
Real estate properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and include properties acquired through acquisition, development or foreclosure.
The Company assesses the fair value of real estate acquired (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities and allocates the acquisition price, including transaction costs, based on these assessments. Depreciation for multi-family properties is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Intangible assets (and liabilities) are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases at the time of acquisition and is usually less than one year. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate is classified as held for sale when management has determined that the applicable criteria have been met. Real estate assets that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell on an individual asset basis. Real estate classified as held for sale is not depreciated.
The Company accounts for the sale of real estate when title passes to the buyer, sufficient equity payments have been received, there is no continuing involvement by the Company and there is reasonable assurance that the remaining receivable, if any, will be collected.
Asset Impairments
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the carrying amount of the asset can be recovered. Recognition of impairment is required if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the asset's carrying amount and that carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the property. The analysis includes an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends, the effects of leasing demands, and other factors. In evaluating a property for impairment, various factors are considered, including estimated current and expected operating cash flow from the property during the projected holding period, costs necessary to extend the life or improve the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, selling costs, and the ability to hold and dispose of such real estate in the ordinary course of business. Valuation adjustments may be necessary in the event that effective interest rates, rent-up periods, future economic conditions, and other relevant factors vary significantly from those assumed in valuing the property. If future evaluations result in a decrease in the value of the property below its carrying value, the reduction will be recognized as an impairment charge. The fair values related to the impaired real estate assets are considered to be a level 3 valuation within the fair value hierarchy.
For investment in real estate ventures, if indicators of impairment are present, the Company determines if the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the asset. The fair values related to the impaired investments in real estate ventures are considered to be a level 3 valuation within the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Equity Based Compensation
Compensation expense for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and dividend equivalent rights are amortized over the vesting period of such awards, based upon the estimated fair value of such award at the grant date. The Company recognizes the effect of forfeitures when they occur and previously recognized compensation expense is reversed in the period the grant or unit is forfeited. The deferred compensation related to the RSUs to be recognized as expense is net of certain performance assumptions which are re-evaluated quarterly. For accounting purposes, the restricted shares and the RSUs are not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest; however, the restricted shares are included in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share as they participate in the earnings of the Company.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company's objective in using derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk related to variable rate debt. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Those amounts are reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized directly in earnings in the period in which they occur.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to holders of common stock for the applicable year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such year. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. The RSU's are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during such period.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company includes only those shares underlying the RSU's that it anticipates will vest based on management's current estimates. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSU's from such calculation if their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments; primarily, direct United States treasury obligations with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held for construction costs and property improvements for specific joint venture properties as may be required by contractual arrangements.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs incurred in connection with multi-family property financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt obligations. Fees and costs paid related to the successful negotiation of commercial leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, lease, derivatives and other contracts. This guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

NOTE 3— ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Ventures
In 2021, the Company purchased all of its partners' interests in three joint ventures. The Company determined that in each acquisition the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction does not meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company assessed the fair value of the tangible assets of the property as of the acquisitions dates using an income approach utilizing market capitalization rate of 4.75 % which is a Level 3 unobservable input in the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes these purchases (dollars in thousands):

The Company did not dispose of any real estate properties during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Impairment Charges
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The Company measures and records impairment charges, and reduces the carrying value of owned properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. For its unconsolidated joint venture investments, the Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of the equity investment when indicators of impairment are present and the expected discounted cash flows related to the investment is less than the carrying value.
In cases where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying value to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell.
In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company took an impairment charge of $ 520,000 related to its investment in OPOP Tower and OPOP Loft properties, St Louis, MO, as the carrying value exceeded the fair vale by that amount. The fair value is based upon the sale price at which the Company contracted to sell this joint venture interest. This investment was sold in 2021 and no further impairments were recorded.
In the year ended ended December 31, 2020, indicators of impairment were present on a 8.7 acre vacant land parcel located in South Daytona Beach, Florida. The Company had entered into a contract to sell this property at a sales price less than its carrying value and accordingly, the Company took an impairment charge related to this asset of $ 3,642,000 , representing the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. This property was sold on February 2, 2022 and no further impairments were recorded.
NOTE 4— RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents funds for specific purposes and therefore are not generally available for general corporate purposes. As reflected on the consolidated balance sheets, restricted cash represents funds held by or on behalf of the Company specifically allocated for capital improvements at multi-family properties.
NOTE 5 - LEASES
Lessor Accounting
The Company owns one commercial rental property which is leased to two tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2024 to 2028, with options to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported

NOTE 5 - LEASES (Continued)
as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease
components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, concession agreements were entered into with the Company’s two commercial tenants. In accordance with the FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and 840 - Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic, a lessor may make an accounting policy election to (i) not evaluate whether such COVID-19 pandemic related rent-relief is a lease modification under ASC 842 and (ii) treat each tenant rent deferral or forgiveness as if it were contemplated as part of the existing lease contract. The Company elected to apply this accounting policy to the two lease agreements, based on the type of concessions provided to the tenants, where the revised cash flows are substantially the same or less than the original lease agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued total abatements of $ 75,000 for the two tenants.
Lessee Accounting
The Company is a lessee under a ground lease in Yonkers, NY which is classified as an operating lease. The ground lease expires September 30, 2024 and provides for one 21-year renewal option. As of December 31, 2021 , the remaining lease term, including the renewal option, is 23.8 years.
The Company is also a lessee under a corporate office lease in Great Neck, New York, which is classified as an operating lease. The lease expires on December 31, 2031 and provides a 5-year renewal option. As of December 31, 2021, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 15.0 years.
As of December 31, 2021 , the Company's right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,568,000 and $ 2,629,000 , respectively and as of December 31, 2020, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,652,000 and $ 2,674,000 , respectively. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in Other assets and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities , respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing rate activity and factors
in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As the Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. The Company’s ground lease
offers a renewal option which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain
will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.
As of December 31, 2021, the minimum future lease payments related to the operating ground and office leases are as follows (dollars in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, Amount

NOTE 9— INCOME TAXES
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT pursuant to the Code. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level if it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined, to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT status, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income; however, if it does not distribute 100% of its taxable income, it will be taxed on undistributed income. There are a number of organizational and operational requirements the Company must meet to remain a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, its taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate tax rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if it is qualified as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local income taxes and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. For income tax purposes, the Company reports on a calendar year basis. As of December 31, 2021, tax returns for the calendar years 2018 through 2020 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state and local tax jurisdictions.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $ 206,000 and $ 248,000 , respectively, of state franchise tax expense, net of refunds, relating to the 2021 and 2020 calendar years.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differs from net income reported for financial statement purposes due to various items, including timing differences related to loan loss provisions, impairment charges, depreciation methods and carrying values.
At December 31, 2021, it is estimated the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $ 26,500,000 . These net operating losses may be available in future years to reduce taxable income when and if it is generated. These loss carryforwards no longer expire and are available to offset 100% of taxable income. Net operating losses generated in 2018 and thereafter will be available to offset 80% of taxable income.
NOTE 10— STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Dividend Distribution
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company declared an aggregate of $ 0.90 and $ 0.88 per share in cash dividends, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
In 2020, the Company's board of directors adopted and the stockholders' approved the 2020 Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan"). This plan permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards.
Each of the Company's 2018 Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") and the Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") authorized the Company to grant up to 600,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the same type of awards available under the 2020 Plan. No further awards may be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan or the 2016 Plan, which are referred to collectively as the "Prior Plans."

NOTE 10—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued)
Restricted Stock Units
In March 2021, pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire up to 210,375 shares of common stock. The RSUs entitle the recipients, subject to continued service through March 31, 2024 (the "Performance Period"), to receive in the aggregate (i) up to 93,500 shares (the "TSR Award") of common stock based on achieving, during the Performance Period, specified levels in compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") in total stockholder return (“TSR”), and (ii) up to 93,500 shares of common stock based on achieving, during the Performance Period, specified levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations (the "AFFO Award"), in each case as determined pursuant to the performance agreement. In addition, up to 23,375 shares (the "Adjustment Award") may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award, based on attaining or failing to attain, as the case may be, during the Performance Period, of CAGR in TSR relative to the CAGR in TSR for the REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment Index. The recipients also receive dividend equivalent rights entitling them to receive cash dividends with respect to the shares of common stock underlying their RSUs as if the underlying shares were outstanding during the Performance Period, if, when, and to the extent, the related RSUs vest. The shares underlying the RSU's are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.
For the TSR Awards, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to assist management in determining fair value. In preparing its simulation, the appraiser assumed an estimated life of three years , a dividend rate of 4.93 %, a risk free interest rate ranging from 0.02 % to 0.34 % and an expected price volatility ranging from 47.19 % to 59.01 %. For the AFFO Awards, fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense is not recognized on RSUs which the Company does not expect to vest because the performance conditions are not expected to be satisfied. Performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly. The total amount recorded at the grant date as deferred compensation with respect to the RSUs was $ 1,995,000 .
In June 2016, the Company issued RSUs to acquire up to 450,000 shares shares of common stock, pursuant to the 2016 Plan. In 2021, it was determined that the market conditions with respect to 250,000 shares underlying RSU's issued under the 2016 Plan had been satisfied; such shares with an aggregate market value of $ 4,200,000 as of the measurement date, were issued and an aggregate of $ 775,000 of RSU dividend equivalents were paid. It was also determined that the performance conditions with respect to 200,000 shares underlying RSU's under the 2016 Plan had not been satisfied and accordingly, the 200,000 RSU's did not vest.
The Company recorded $ 620,000 and $ 140,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs in the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 respectively. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 2,248,000 and $ 37,000 had been deferred as unearned compensation and is to be charged to expense over the balance of the applicable performance period.
Restricted Stock
In January 2021 and June 2021, the Company granted 156,774 shares and 160,000 shares, respectively, of restricted stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, an aggregate of 922,619 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the Plan and the Prior Plans. The shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $ 2,321,000 and $ 1,681,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 7,332,000 and $ 4,411,000 , respectively, has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average vesting period of these restricted shares is 2.8 years. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company granted 158,973 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan. Changes in the number of restricted shares outstanding under the Company's equity incentive plans are shown below:

NOTE 12— FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported on the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Junior subordinated notes: At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's junior subordinated notes is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 8,296,000 and $ 8,670,000 , respectively, based on market interest rates of 4.21 % and 4.22 %, respectively.
Mortgages payable: At December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 511,000 , assuming market interest rates between 3.12 % and 3.87 %. At December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value was greater than the carrying value by $ 3,831,000 , assuming market interest rates between 2.87 % and 3.28 %. Market interest rates were determined using current financing transaction information provided by third party institutions.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value assumptions. The fair values of debt obligations are considered to be Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The Company's fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between markets participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other "observable" market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on "unobservable" market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.
At December 31, 2021, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Set forth below is information regarding the Company's financial liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities. At December 31, 2020, this derivative is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparty. As of December 31, 2020, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Long-lived assets
The Company measures its real estate investments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the fair value of the real estate investment was determined using the following input levels (dollars in thousands):

The Company reviews its investments in real estate when events or circumstances change indicating the carry value of the investment may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of an investment for impairment, many factors are considered, including estimated current and expected cash flows from the asset during the projected hold period, costs necessary to extend the life of the asset, expected capitalization rates, and projected stabilized net operating income and the ability to hold or dispose of the asset in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 14— DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate derivatives that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):
Non-designated Derivatives
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company's exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as its classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):
