NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in Stratus Properties Inc.’s (Stratus) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (Stratus 2019 Form 10-K) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported and consist of normal recurring adjustments.
Operating results for the second quarter of 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. In particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic intensified late in the first quarter of 2020 and has continued during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020. As a result, this interim period, as well as future interim periods in 2020, will not be comparable to past performance or indicative of future performance.
The preparation of Stratus’ consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including those related to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions, that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and the extent of its impact cannot be determined with certainty, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects require increased judgement. Stratus’ assessment of the future magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption, as well as other factors, could result in material changes to the estimates used in and material impacts to Stratus’ consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
Terminated Block 21 Sale. Block 21 is Stratus’ wholly owned mixed-use real estate development and entertainment business in downtown Austin, Texas that contains the 251 -room W Austin Hotel and is home to Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater, a 2,750 -seat entertainment venue that serves as the location for the filming of Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history. Block 21 also includes Class A office space, retail space and the 3TEN ACL Live entertainment venue and business.
On December 9, 2019, Stratus entered into definitive agreements to sell Block 21 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $ 275 million. Ryman deposited $ 15.0 million in earnest money to secure its performance under the agreements governing the sales. As the proposed sale represented a strategic shift for Stratus, the assets and liabilities of Block 21 were classified as held for sale - discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet of Stratus' 2019 Form 10-K. On May 21, 2020, Ryman delivered a termination letter, which was agreed to and accepted by Stratus, terminating the agreements to sell Block 21 and authorizing the release of Ryman's $ 15.0 million in earnest money to Stratus. During the second quarter of 2020, Stratus recorded the $ 15.0 million as operating income, used $ 13.8 million of the $ 15.0 million earnest money to pay down its Comerica Bank revolving credit facility and used the remaining $ 1.2 million for Block 21 debt service and required monthly reserves. As a result of the termination of the agreements to sell Block 21, Stratus has concluded that such assets and liabilities no longer qualified as held for sale. The carrying amounts as of December 31, 2019, of Block 21’s major classes of assets and liabilities, which were previously classified as held for sale - discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet of Stratus' 2019 Form 10-K follow (in thousands):
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,408
Restricted cash 13,574
Real estate held for investment 131,286
Other assets 3,480
Total assets $ 158,748
Liabilities:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including taxes $ 7,005
Debt 141,184

Total liabilities $ 155,225

COVID-19 Impact. Since January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial disruption in international and U.S. economies and markets. The pandemic has resulted in government restrictions of various degrees and effective at various times, including stay-at-home orders, bans on travel, limitations on the size of gatherings, limitations on the operations of businesses deemed non-essential, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, cancellation of events (including entertainment events, conferences and meetings), quarantines and social distancing measures. Beginning in mid-June 2020, there have been reports of increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases throughout the United States, and in particular, Texas, resulting in some governments extending or re-imposing restrictions. The pandemic and responses to it have also caused a steep increase in unemployment in the U.S. As a result, the pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on Stratus' business and operations. As mentioned above, Stratus' previously disclosed transaction to sell Block 21 was terminated by Ryman as a result of the capital markets and economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Stratus is continuing to defer progress on development projects pending improvements in health and market conditions, but Stratus continues to advance its land planning, engineering and permitting activities. Because the pandemic is unprecedented in recent history, and its severity, duration and future economic consequences are difficult to predict, Stratus cannot predict its future impact on the company with any certainty.
Stratus’ revenue, operating income and cash flow in its hotel and entertainment segments were adversely impacted in the first quarter of 2020, were more adversely impacted in the second quarter of 2020 and are expected to continue to be adversely impacted beyond second-quarter 2020. For example, while the hotel has remained open throughout the pandemic, average occupancy in the second quarter of 2020 was 12 percent. Stratus' entertainment venue, ACL Live, remains closed. All second-quarter 2020 scheduled events at ACL Live were either rescheduled or cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Stratus' smaller capacity venue, 3TEN ACL Live, hosted only 15 events in second-quarter 2020.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Stratus’ retail leasing tenants, other than grocery and liquor stores, closed or were operating at significantly reduced capacity beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020. Beginning in April 2020, Stratus agreed, generally, to 90 -day base rent deferrals with a majority of these tenants. The deferred rents are scheduled to be collected over a 12 -month or 24 -month period starting in January 2021. These rent deferrals resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of 23 percent during the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, most of Stratus’ retail tenants had reopened. At its multi-family properties, Stratus has granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, which during the second quarter of 2020 resulted in a reduction of scheduled rent collections of less than one percent of contractual rents, with no material decline in occupancy. In the aggregate, Stratus’ second-quarter retail and multi-family rent collections were 10 percent less than scheduled rents.
Stratus assessed its rents receivable for potential credit losses as of June 30, 2020, and recorded a $ 1.4 million charge for estimated uncollectible rents receivable and unrealizable deferred costs. The following is an update to Stratus' revenue recognition accounting policy included in Note 1 of its 2019 Form 10-K. Stratus recognizes its rental income on a straight-line basis based on the terms of its signed leases with tenants. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance and other commercial property operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred. If upon, or subsequent to, lease commencement, the assessed collectability of lease payments is not probable, recognized lease income is limited to collected lease payments. In addition, any previously recognized rents receivable and deferred lease costs associated with that lease are charged to cost of sales in the period that assessed collectability is considered not probable.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides retroactive tax provisions and other stimulus measures to affected companies including the ability to carry back net operating losses, raising the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, technical corrections to accelerate tax depreciation for qualified improvement property, and delaying the payment of employer payroll taxes. On April 22, 2020, Stratus received a $ 4.0 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP loan) of the CARES Act. The PPP loan bears interest at one percent and matures April 15, 2022, except for the portion that may be forgiven. The proceeds from the loan must be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments and utility payments. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of income tax benefits.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Stratus’ basic net income (loss) per share of common stock was calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of net income (loss) and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted net income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts) follows:

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Saint Mary, L.P. On June 19, 2018, The Saint Mary, L.P., a Texas limited partnership and a subsidiary of Stratus, completed a series of financing transactions to develop The Saint Mary, a 240 -unit luxury, garden-style apartment project in the Circle C community in Austin, Texas. The financing transactions included (1) a $ 26.0 million construction loan with Texas Capital Bank, National Association and (2) an $ 8.0 million private placement. As one of the participants in the private placement offering, LCHM Holdings, LLC (LCHM), a related party as a result of its greater than 5 percent beneficial ownership of Stratus’ common stock, purchased limited partnership interests representing a 6.1 percent equity interest in The Saint Mary, L.P. Refer to Note 2 of the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion.
Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P. On August 3, 2018, Stratus Kingwood Place, L.P., a Texas limited partnership and a subsidiary of Stratus (the Kingwood, L.P.), completed a $ 10.7 million private placement, approximately $ 7 million of which, combined with a $ 6.75 million loan from Comerica Bank, was used to purchase a 54 -acre tract of land located in Kingwood, Texas for $ 13.5 million, for the development of Kingwood Place, a new H-E-B, L.P.-anchored, mixed-use development project (Kingwood Place). As one of the participants in the private placement offering, LCHM purchased Class B limited partnership interests initially representing an 8.8 percent equity interest in the Kingwood, L.P. Refer to Note 2 of the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion.
Stratus has performed evaluations and concluded that The Saint Mary, L.P. and the Kingwood, L.P. are variable interest entities and that Stratus is the primary beneficiary. Stratus will continue to evaluate which entity is the primary beneficiary of The Saint Mary, L.P. and the Kingwood, L.P. in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. The Saint Mary, L.P. and the Kingwood, L.P.’s results are consolidated in Stratus’ financial statements.

4. DISPOSITIONS
Circle C. In January 2019, Stratus sold a retail pad subject to a ground lease located in the Circle C community for $ 3.2 million. Stratus used a portion of the proceeds from the sale to repay $ 2.5 million of its Comerica Bank credit facility borrowings and, after adjustments recorded in second-quarter 2019, recorded a gain on this sale totaling $ 2.0 million for the first six months of 2019.
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value for certain Stratus financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

Interest Rate Cap and Swap Agreements. In September 2019, a Stratus subsidiary paid $ 24 thousand to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which caps the maximum London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at 3.0 percent, on a total notional amount of $ 75.0 million (the principal amount of The Santal loan). The interest rate cap agreement provides that the Stratus subsidiary will collect the difference between 3.0 percent and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR is greater than 3.0 percent (refer to Note 6 in the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion of The Santal loan). The interest rate cap agreement terminates on October 5, 2021.
The interest rate swap agreement with Comerica Bank was entered into in 2013, is effective through December 31, 2020, and has a fixed interest rate of 2.3 percent compared to the variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR. As

of June 30, 2020, the agreement had a notional amount of $ 15.0 million, which will amortize to $ 14.8 million by the end of the agreement, and as of December 31, 2019, the agreement had a notional amount of $ 15.3 million.
The interest rate cap and swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting so changes in the agreements' fair values are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Stratus uses an interest rate pricing model that relies on market observable inputs such as LIBOR to measure the fair value of both agreements. Stratus also evaluated the counterparty credit risk associated with both agreements, which is considered a Level 3 input, but did not consider such risk to be significant. Therefore, the interest rate cap and swap agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt. Stratus' debt is recorded at cost and is not actively traded. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future expected cash flows at estimated current market interest rates. Accordingly, Stratus' debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt does not represent the amounts that will ultimately be paid upon the maturities of the loans.

Effective April 14, 2020, Stratus and Comerica Bank agreed to modify the Comerica Bank credit facility to (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility from June 29, 2020, to September 27, 2020, and (ii) revise the definition of LIBOR to provide for an increase in the LIBOR floor from zero percent to one percent. On June 12, 2020, Stratus entered into a further amendment to its credit facility agreement with Comerica Bank to extend the maturity date of the facility to September 27, 2022.
During second-quarter 2020, Stratus entered into amendments to the Lantana Place and West Killeen Market construction loans in which Stratus was granted waivers of the debt service coverage ratio covenants for the quarters needed such that it believes that it will be able to remain in compliance if rent payments do not further deteriorate materially as currently anticipated.
In January 2020, the Kingwood Place construction loan was modified to increase the loan amount by $ 2.5 million to a total of $ 35.4 million. The increase was used to fund the construction of a retail building on an existing Kingwood Place retail pad.

7. PROFIT PARTICIPATION INCENTIVE PLAN
In July 2018, the Stratus Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) unanimously adopted the Stratus Profit Participation Incentive Plan (the Plan), which provides participants with economic incentives tied to the success of the development projects designated by the Committee as approved projects under the Plan. Estimates related to the awards may change over time as a result of differences between projected and actual development progress and costs, market conditions and the timing of capital transactions or valuation events. Refer to Note 8 of the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion.
During second-quarter 2020, Stratus recorded a $ 0.4 million increase to the accrued liability for the Plan of which $ 0.2 million increased project development costs and $ 0.2 million increased general and administrative expenses. During second-quarter 2019, Stratus accrued $ 0.2 million to project development costs and $ 0.2 million in general and administrative expenses related to the Plan. During the first six months of 2020, Stratus accrued $ 0.2 million to project development costs and $ 0.2 million in general and administrative expense related to the Plan. During the first six months of 2019, Stratus accrued $ 0.4 million to project development costs and $ 0.5 million in general and administrative expense related to the Plan. The accrued liability for the Plan totaled $ 2.9 million at June 30, 2020, and $ 2.5 million at December 31, 2019 (included in other liabilities). As of June 30, 2020, no amounts had been paid to participants under the Plan.
8. INCOME TAXES
Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes is further described in Notes 1 and 7 in the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K.
Stratus had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax liabilities) totaling $ 9.6 million at June 30, 2020 , and $ 12.3 million at December 31, 2019. Stratus’ future results of operations may be negatively impacted by an inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax assets.
The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2020 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent, was primarily attributable to the CARES Act, which, among other impacts, allows Stratus to carry back losses to 2017 when the U.S. corporate tax rate was 35 percent, resulting in a discrete tax benefit of $ 1.4 million, and the Texas state margin tax. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2019 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent, was primarily attributable to the Texas state margin tax and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's executive compensation deductibility limitation.
