Note 1. Business and Organization
Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that focuses primarily on ownership, operation and redevelopment of grocery-anchored shopping centers in high-density urban markets from Washington, D.C. to Boston. At June 30, 2021, the Company owned and managed a portfolio of 53 operating properties (excluding properties “held for sale”).
Cedar Realty Trust Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns (either directly or through subsidiaries) substantially all of its assets. At June 30, 2021, the Company owned a 99.4% general and limited partnership interest in, and was the sole general partner of, the Operating Partnership. The limited partners’ interest in the Operating Partnership (0.6% at June 30, 2021) is represented by partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). The carrying amount of such interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to an amount equal to the limited partners’ ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership’s net equity. The 81,000 OP Units outstanding at June 30, 2021 are economically equivalent to shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of OP Units have the right to exchange their OP Units for the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, for cash. Unless specifically noted otherwise, all references to OP Units exclude limited partnership units held by the Company.
As used herein, the “Company” refers to Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, including the Operating Partnership or, where the context so requires, Cedar Realty Trust, Inc. only.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, and certain joint venture partnerships in which it participates. The Company consolidates all variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Under existing
12

lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees is a lease modification under ASC 842. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to COVID-19 is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company is evaluating its election on a disaggregated basis, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company provided lease concessions to certain tenants in response to the impact of COVID-19, in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has made an election to account for such lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 if enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions had already existed in the leases. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in our rights as lessor, including concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified lease being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original lease.
Substantially all of the Company’s concessions to date provide for a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original lease. These deferrals affect the timing, but not the amount, of the lease payments. The Company is accounting for these deferrals as if no changes to the lease were made. Under this accounting, the Company increases its receivables as tenant payments accrue and continues to recognize rental income. Through June 30, 2021, the Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $3.5 million, of which $2.4 million relates to deferrals that the Company continued to recognize rental income. In addition, through June 30, 2021, the Company has entered into agreements that waived approximately $2.4 million of rent.
Note 3. Real Estate
Investment in unconsolidated joint venture
On May 5, 2021, the Company formed a joint venture with Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and Asland Capital Partners (the “Joint Venture”) for the construction of an approximately 258,000 square foot six-story commercial building in Washington D.C. consisting of approximately 240,000 square feet of office space which is 100% leased to the Washington, D.C., Department of General Services (“DGS”) for its headquarters and approximately 18,000 square feet of street-level retail. The term of the lease with DGS is for 20 years and 10 months, to commence upon substantial completion and delivery to the DGS. This building is planned as the first phase of Northeast Heights, a redevelopment of two existing shopping centers, East River Park and Senator Square, into a mixed-use residential, office and retail property. Further, the Joint Venture has secured construction financing from JP Morgan not to exceed $105 million. The construction loan initially bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and has an initial term of three years with two, one-year extension options subject to customary conditions. The Company will have a 10% interest in the joint venture and be a co-general partner along with Asland Capital Partners. The Company has contributed approximately $2.5 million of capital to the Joint Venture as of June 30, 2021. The Company has sold approximately $8.0 million of development costs to the Joint Venture as of June 30, 2021.
The Joint Venture currently estimates that the space will be delivered during the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Upon completion of the building, the District will be obligated to pay initial annual net rent of approximately $5.4 million per year, subject to a 2.5% annual escalator on each anniversary of rent commencement, plus certain operating costs, property taxes and amortization of tenant improvements together totaling approximately an additional $8.1 million per year, for an aggregate total annual rent of approximately $13.5 million. The Lease provides for a free rent period of 10 months immediately following rent commencement. The Lease also provides the District with a tenant credit of approximately $6.8 million to be applied, at the District’s election, against either annual rent or any other tenant payment obligations including tenant improvement costs, in excess of the tenant improvement allowance. Pursuant to the Lease, the Joint Venture will contribute up to $155 per rentable square foot toward the cost of tenant improvements, to be amortized over 240 months. In addition, the Lease provides that the Joint Venture will contribute $9.38 per rentable square foot in additional tenant improvement allowance between the 10th and 12th Lease years, upon the District’s timely election. The obligations of the District under the Lease are subject to annual budget appropriation.

Real Estate Held for Sale
As of June 30, 2021, Carll’s Corner, located in Bridgeton, New Jersey has been classified as “real estate held for sale” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Company, when applicable, conducts a continuing review of the values for all properties “held for sale” based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on discounted cash flow or income capitalization analyses, if no contract amounts are being negotiated (see Note 4 - “Fair Value Measurements”), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less costs to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company’s determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to “held for sale”, the Company performed recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments’ use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties’ meeting the “held for sale” criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell, if applicable.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and other receivables, certain other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s investments and liabilities related to share-based compensation were determined to be Level 1 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions.
The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loan was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with a similar term and maturity. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate mortgage loans payable, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, was $158.6 million and $47.0 million, respectively; the carrying value of such loan was $157.3 million and $45.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, the aggregate fair values of the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans approximated the carrying values. In addition, the fair value of the Company’s mortgage note receivable and finance lease obligation, which were determined to be Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The valuations of the assets and liabilities for the Company’s interest rate swaps, which are measured on a recurring basis, were determined to be Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, and were based on independent values provided by financial institutions. Such valuations were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swaps, including the period to maturity, and

observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves (“significant other observable inputs”). The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance using “significant unobservable inputs” such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. The Company has concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, the fair value associated with the “significant unobservable inputs” relating to the Company’s risk of non-performance was insignificant to the overall fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and, as a result, that the relevant inputs for purposes of calculating the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements, in their entirety, were based upon “significant other observable inputs”.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements consist of real estate held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.
Valuations were prepared using internally-developed valuation models. These valuations are reviewed and approved, during each reporting period, by a diverse group of management, as deemed necessary, including personnel from the acquisition, accounting, finance, operations, development and leasing departments, and the valuations are updated as appropriate. In addition, the Company may engage third-party valuation experts to assist with the preparation of certain of its valuations.
The following tables show the hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

(a)
|
The mortgages for these properties are cross-collateralized.
|
|
(b)
|
During the third quarter of 2021, the weighted average interest rate for the Company’s unsecured credit facilities will decrease 15 basis points (“bps”) as a result of a decrease in the Company’s leverage ratio.
|
|
(c)
|
The revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension at the Company’s option.
|
|
(d)
|
The interest rates on these term loans consist of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt.
|
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
On August 4, 2020, the Company amended its existing $300 million unsecured credit facility and term loans. After such amendments, the Company’s financial ratios and borrowing base are now all computed using the trailing four quarters as opposed to the current quarter annualized and interest rate swaps that are a hedge of existing debt are now excluded from the definition of debt. The $300 million unsecured credit facility consists of (1) a $250 million revolving credit facility, expiring on September 8, 2021, and (2) a $50 million term loan, expiring on September 8, 2022. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (165 bps at June 30, 2021 and 150 bps as of this filing) and interest on borrowings under the term loan component can range from LIBOR plus 130 bps to 190 bps (160 bps at June 30, 2021 and 145 bps as of this filing), each based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Interest on borrowings under the unsecured credit facility and term loans is based on the Company’s leverage ratio.
The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of other lender remedies. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income for the trailing twelve months, as defined in the agreements. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company had $12.0 million outstanding and $112.1 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and was in compliance with all financial covenants.

On May 5, 2021, the Company closed a non-recourse mortgage for $114.0 million. The mortgage matures June 1, 2031, bears interest at a fixed-rate of 3.49% and requires payment of interest only for the first five years followed by payments of principal and interest based on thirty-year amortization for the remainder of the term. The loan is secured by five shopping centers consisting of Lawndale Plaza, The Shops at Suffolk Downs, Christina Crossing, Trexlertown Plaza, and The Point. These properties had no pre-existing debt and the proceeds from this new loan were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair values of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), limited partners’ interest, or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $6.3 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as a decrease to earnings within the next twelve months.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to certain legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management does not expect there to be adverse consequences from these actions that would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company is the lessee under several ground leases and its executive office lease agreement. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 30.4 years and the weighted average discount rate used to calculate the Company’s lease liability is approximately 5.7%. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rent expense under the Company’s ground lease and executive office lease agreements was approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2020, COVID-19 began spreading globally, with the outbreak being classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The Company currently faces significant risks and uncertainties related to the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. Certain tenants have announced temporary closures of their stores and have requested rent deferrals or forgiveness during this pandemic. COVID-19 could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow which could result in (1) the Company’s tenants being unable to fully meet their obligations and to seek modification of their obligations, resulting in increases in uncollectible rents and a reduction in rental income, (2) difficulties in the Company’s future compliance with financial covenants in regards to its unsecured credit facilities, and (3) the recognition of impairments charges of the Company’s real estate.
As a result of COVID-19, the Company has received numerous rent relief requests, most often in the form of rent deferrals. The Company has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. During the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company collected 97% and 96% of contractual base rents and monthly tenant reimbursements, respectively. Through June 30, 2021, the Company deferred approximately $3.5 million and waived approximately $2.4 million of rental income, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average payback period for the remaining deferred rent receivable is approximately 10 months, beginning at various times from July 2020 through June 2021.

The Company reviews the collectability of charges under its tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. During 2021 and 2020, the Company’s assessment has specifically included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which represents a material risk to collectability. In the event that collectability with respect to any tenant changes the Company recognizes an adjustment to rental income. The Company’s review of collectability of charges under its operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line method of reporting rental revenue. During 2021 and 2020, the Company identified various tenants where collection was no longer considered probable. The determination to record revenue on a cash basis and write off any outstanding straight-line receivable from these various tenants reduced net income $0 and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, $0.5 million and $0.9 million of billed charges, consisting of rent and tenant reimbursements, were unpaid, and based on the Company’s determination to record revenue on a cash basis for these tenants, these amounts were not recorded as revenue.

On June 15, 2018, the Company’s President and CEO was granted a market performance-based equity award of 227,272 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 227,272 dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) of the Company. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one common share if certain market performance criteria are achieved. Each DER accrues and will be deemed to be reinvested into the Company’s common stock for which payment will only be made for the portion of the market performance-based equity award that are earned and vest. During the three years ending June 15, 2021 (the “Interim Performance Period”), a maximum of 113,636 shares could be earned. Any portion of the market performance based equity award that was not earned as of the end of the Interim Performance Period will be carried forward for calculation for the five years ending June 15, 2023 (the “Full Performance Period”). The percentage of the market performance-based equity award to be earned will be determined based on the Company’s annual return on an investment in the Company’s common stock (“TSR”) over the Interim Performance Period and/or over the Full Performance Period as follows: if average annual TSR (1) is below 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 0%, (2) equals 4%, the percentage of grant earned would be 33.3%, (3) equals 6.5%, the percentage of grant earned would be 66.7%, and (4) equals 10% or above, the percentage of grant earned would be 100%. Linear interpolation shall be applied to determine the percentage of the market performance-based equity award that is earned where the average annual TSR over the performance period falls between the percentages set forth above. Based on market performance for the Interim Performance Period, it was determined the Company’s President and CEO earned 113,636 shares. Accordingly, on July 20, 2021, the Company issued 113,636 common shares to the CEO and paid him $0.3 million for the related DERs.
Note 10. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period including participating securities (restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to receive dividends issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities). Unvested restricted shares that are participating securities are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common shareholders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 0.5 million and 0.5 million, respectively, of weighted average unvested restricted shares outstanding that were participating securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, no restricted stock units (“RSU’s”) would have been issuable under the Company’s President and CEO market performance-based equity award had the measurement period ended on June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, therefore this market performance-based equity award had no impact in calculation diluted EPS. Net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and the related OP Units have been excluded from the denominator for the purpose of calculating diluted EPS as there would have been no dilutive effect had such amounts been included. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding were 81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The weighted average number of OP Units outstanding were 81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
