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, 2022, 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.

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, 2022 and 2021, 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) (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, 2022 and 2021, 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.

Purchase Price Allocation
Joint Venture Consolidation Assessment
Description of the matter
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company bought out eleven of the remaining interests of joint venture partners for an aggregate purchase price of $377.4 million, making them wholly owned and consolidated. The transactions were accounted for as asset acquisitions and the purchase prices were allocated based on the relative fair values of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As more fully described in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements, the estimates used in determining the relative fair values may be based on comparable transactions, replacement costs of assets, and other market data, which are unobservable inputs.
Auditing management’s purchase price allocations was complex due to the judgement required in developing the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets. In particular, the estimate was sensitive to unobservable significant assumptions, including comparable transactions and replacement costs of assets.
How we addressed the matter in our audit
Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the appropriateness of the methodology and model applied to determine the fair value of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities used in the purchase price allocation and recalculating the models’ results. With the assistance of our real estate valuation specialists, we compared the significant assumptions used by management, including comparable transactions and replacement costs of assets, to current market data. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in management’s models. In addition, we utilized third-party data to test management’s estimate and identify potential sources of corroborative or contrary information.

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, 2022, BRT: (i) wholly-owns twenty-one multi-family properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of 5,420 units and a carrying value of $ 649,701,000 ; (ii) has ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in eight multi-family properties located in four states with an aggregate of 2,781 units, and the carrying value of its net equity investment is $ 39,076,000 ; and (iii) owns other assets, through consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, with a carrying value of $ 5,402,000 . The Company's 29 multi-family properties are located in 11 states; most of these properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
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, NY 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.

December 31, 2022
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 tax years 2019 through 2021 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 or development.
When the Company purchases real estate assets from third-parties, the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate, including direct transaction costs applicable to an asset acquisition, among land, building, improvements and intangibles (e.g., the value of above, below and at market leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases and above or below-market mortgages assumed at the acquisition date). The value, as determined, is allocated to the gross assets acquired based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets and liabilities.
Whenever the Company buys out the remaining interest from joint venture partners, the Company follows a cost-accumulation approach, wherein the Company allocates the cost basis of their existing interest and the purchase price of the remaining partner interest to the real estate acquired (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities.
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 quarterly 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 impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. 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

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 because they are based on unobservable inputs and are subjective in nature.
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.
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 RSUs that it anticipates will vest based on management's current estimates. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSUs 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.
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.

Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Ventures
During 2022 and 2021, the Company purchased its partners' remaining interests in 11 and three joint ventures, respectively. The Company determined that in each acquisition the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, these transactions do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions.

Impairment Charges
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 value 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. The Company did not record any impairment charges in 2022.

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 joint venture multi-family properties.

As of December 31, 2022 , the Company's right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,371,000 and $ 2,472,000 , respectively and as of December 31, 2021, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,568,000 and $ 2,629,000 , 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, 2022, the minimum future lease payments related to the operating ground and office leases are as follows (dollars in thousands):

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, 2022, tax returns for the calendar years 2019 through 2021 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state and local tax jurisdictions.
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $ 821,000 and $ 206,000 , respectively, of state franchise tax expense, net of refunds, relating to the 2022 and 2021 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 impairment charges, depreciation methods and carrying values.
For the 2022 tax year, the Company expects to use its remaining available net operating loss carryforwards and at December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any net operating loss carryforwards available. The Company's net operating losses had previously been available to reduce taxable income.
NOTE 10— STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Dividend Distribution
During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company declared an aggregate of $ 0.98 and $ 0.90 per share in cash dividends, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
In 2022, the Company's board of directors adopted and the stockholders' approved the 2022 Incentive Plan (the "2022 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 2020 Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and the Amended and Restated 2018 Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") authorized the Company to grant up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the same type of awards available under the 2022 Plan. No further awards may be granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan or the 2018 Plan, which are referred to collectively as the "Prior Plans."
Restricted Stock Units
In each of March 2021 (pursuant to the 2020 Plan) and June 2022 (pursuant to the 2022 Plan), the Company issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire up to 210,375 and 212,470 shares of common stock respectively. The RSUs granted in each of 2021 and 2022 entitle the recipients, subject to continued service during the applicable performance period to

(i) up to 93,500 and 94,431 and shares of common stock, respectively, (the "TSR Award"), based on achieving, during the three-year performance period, specified levels in compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") in total stockholder return (“TSR”), and (ii) up to 93,500 and 94,431 shares of common stock based, respectively, on achieving, during the measurement period, specified levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations (the "AFFO Award"), in each case as determined pursuant to the award agreement. In addition, with respect to each of the RSUs granted in 2021 and 2022, up to 23,375 and 23,608 shares, respectively, (the "Peer Group Adjustment") may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award, based on attaining or failing to attain, as the case may be, during the applicable performance period, of CAGR in TSR for the REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment Index.
The RSU recipients also received 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 applicable 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. The Monte Carlo valuation consisted of computing the grant date fair value of the awards using the Company's simulated stock price. For these TSR awards, the per unit of share fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:
Award Year Expected Life ( yrs) Dividend Rate Risk-Free Interest Rate Expected Price Volatility
2022 3 4.57 % 2.23 % to 3.11 % 35.60 % to 47.40 %
2021 3 4.93 % 0.02 % to 0.34 % 47.19 % to 59.01 %
For the AFFO Awards granted in 2022 and 2021, 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 granted in 2022 and 2021 was $ 2,068,000 and $ 1,995,000 respectively.
In June 2016, the Company issued RSUs to acquire up to 450,000 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 $ 1,508,000 and $ 620,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs in the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 4,269,000 and $ 2,248,000 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 2022, June 2021 and January 2021, the Company granted 158,973 , 160,000 and 156,774 shares, respectively, of restricted stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan. As of December 31, 2022, an aggregate of 934,092 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to 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, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $ 2,978,000 and $ 2,321,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 7,728,000 and $ 7,332,000 , 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 the 934,092 restricted shares is 2.3 years. Subsequent to

NOTE 12— FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
• Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets
• Level 2— inputs to the valuation methodology include 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— inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to 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.

NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
Junior subordinated notes: At December 31, 2022, and 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company's junior subordinated notes is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 4,695,000 and $ 8,296,000 , respectively, based on market interest rates of 7.91 % and 4.21 %, respectively.
Mortgages payable: At December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 37,500,000 , assuming market interest rates between 5.18 % and 6.23 %. At December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value was greater than the carrying value by $ 511,000 , assuming market interest rates between 3.12 % and 3.87 %. 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, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Long-lived assets
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.
The Company measures its real estate investments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. In the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the fair value of the real estate investment was determined based on the expected sale price per the contract using the following input levels (dollars in thousands):
Carrying and Fair Value Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy

NOTE 13— COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, and in particular, personal injury claims involving the operations of the Company's properties. Although management believes that the primary and umbrella insurance coverage maintained with respect to such properties is sufficient to cover claims for compensatory damages, many of these personal injury claims also assert claims for exemplary ( i.e punitive) damages. Generally, insurance does not cover claims for punitive or exemplary damages.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
The Company is one of several defendants in a wrongful death lawsuit seeking an unspecified amount in excess of $ 1,000,000 and an unspecified amount of exemplary damages. The Company’s primary insurance carrier is defending the claim. Although management is not able to determine the probability and/or magnitude of any potential loss, if any, management believes the Company has sufficient primary and umbrella insurance to cover the claim for compensatory damages.
In December 2022, a personal injury lawsuit in which the Company and others were defendants settled - the Company’s insurance carrier paid the plaintiff $ 850,000 .
The Company maintains a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan covering eligible employees and officers. Contributions by the Company are made through a money purchase plan, based upon a percent of qualified employees' total salary as defined therein. Pension expense approximated $ 424,000 and $ 423,000 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, $ 125,000 and $ 23,000 , respectively, remains unpaid and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
At December 31, 2022, the Company is the carve-out guarantor with respect to mortgage debt in principal amount of $ 401,225,000 at seventeen multi-family properties.
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, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
The following table presents the effect of the Company's derivative financial instrument on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):
Year ended December 31,
2021
Amount of loss recognized on derivative in Other Comprehensive Income $ ( 1 )
Amount of gain reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive (loss) income into Interest Expense $ ( 12 )
Total amount of Interest expense presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations $ 6,757
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company accelerated the reclassification of losses of $ 12,000 from other comprehensive income to earnings as a result of the hedged forecasted transaction becoming probable not to occur.
