One Liberty Properties, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2016
Note 1 Organization and Background
One Liberty Properties, Inc. (OLP) was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland. OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT). OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of retail, industrial, flex and health and fitness properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of March 31, 2016, OLP owns 114 properties, including seven properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 114 properties are located in 30 states.
Note 2 Summary 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 results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in OLPs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the Company. Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 2 Summary Accounting Policies (Continued)
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance. The ASU introduces a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights (see Note 6).
Consistent with the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for each of its investments, including a review of each venture or limited liability company or partnership agreement to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. The agreements typically contain certain protective rights, such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In situations where the Company and its partner, among other things, (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint ventures tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at a property, the Company does not consolidate the joint venture as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture.
Additionally, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for any interests pursuant to which the Company may have a variable interest as a lessor. Leases may contain certain protective rights, such as the right of sale and the receipt of certain escrow deposits. In situations where the Company does not have the power over tenant activities that most significantly impact the performance of the property, the Company would not consolidate tenant operations.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in the 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. In addition, the Company has shared power with its co-managing members 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. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.

Note 2 Summary Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Company has elected to follow the cumulative earnings approach when assessing, for the consolidated statement of cash flows, whether the distribution from the investee is a return of the investors investment as compared to a return on its investment. The source of the cash generated by the investee to fund the distribution is not a factor in the analysis (that is, it does not matter whether the cash was generated through investee refinancing, sale of assets or operating results). Consequently, the investor only considers the relationship between the cash received from the investee to its equity in the undistributed earnings of the investee, on a cumulative basis, in assessing whether the distribution from the investee is a return on or return of its investment. Cash received from the unconsolidated entity is presumed to be a return on the investment to the extent that, on a cumulative basis, distributions received by the investor are less than its share of the equity in the undistributed earnings of the entity.
Properties Held-for-Sale
Real estate investments are classified as properties held-for-sale when management determines that the investment meets the applicable criteria. Real estate investments which are held-for-sale are not depreciated.
Tenant Reimbursements
Tenant reimbursements represent tenants contractual obligations for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses and are recognized when earned.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current periods presentation, primarily to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt on the Companys December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet. See Note 10.
Note 3 Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. 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. Unvested restricted stock is not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income; such amounts are allocated entirely to the common stockholders, other than the holders of unvested restricted stock. The restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-for-Performance program are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities (see Note 14).

Note 3 Earnings Per Common Share (Continued)
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock includes 107,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively (of an aggregate of 200,000 shares) of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the Pay-For-Performance program. These amounts include 100,000 shares that would be issued pursuant to a metric based on the market price and dividends paid at the end of each quarterly period, assuming the end of that quarterly period was the end of the vesting period. Of the remaining 100,000 shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-For-Performance program, 7,000 shares are included in the diluted weighted average in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and, as they did not meet the return on capital performance metric during such period, none of such 100,000 shares were included in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, the weighted average amortization period is 3.4 years for these intangible lease assets and 12.2 years for these intangible lease liabilities. The Company assessed the fair value of the lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are Level 3 (as defined in Note 15) in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocations for the properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2016; therefore the allocations are preliminary and subject to change.
The properties purchased by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2016 are each 100% occupied. Each property is net leased by three unrelated tenants pursuant to leases which expire between 2017 and 2021.
As a result of the Companys $6,300,000 purchase on March 31, 2015 of its partners 50% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns a property in Lincoln, Nebraska, the

Company obtained a controlling financial interest. In consolidating the investment, the Company recorded a purchase price fair value adjustment of $960,000 on the consolidated statement of income, representing the difference between the book value of its preexisting equity investment on the March 31, 2015 purchase date and the fair value of the net assets acquired.
Note 5 Sale of Properties
On February 1, 2016, the Company sold a portfolio of eight retail properties located in Louisiana and Mississippi for a total sales price of $13,750,000. The sale resulted in a gain of $787,000, recorded as Gain on sale of real estate, net, for the three months ending March 31, 2016. In connection with the sale, the Company paid off the $7,801,000 mortgage balance on these properties and incurred a $380,000 expense for the early termination of the mortgage (included in Prepayment costs on debt) and a $26,000 write-off of deferred financing costs (included in Amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs). As a result of the sale, the Company also wrote-off, as a reduction to Gain on sale of real estate, net, $706,000 of unbilled straight-line rent receivable, $79,000 of intangible lease assets and $54,000 of tenant origination costs. At December 31, 2015, the Company classified the net book value of the land and buildings, intangible lease assets and tenant origination costs totaling $12,259,000 as Properties held-for-sale.
On January 13, 2015, a consolidated joint venture of the Company sold a property located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey for $16,025,000, net of closing costs. The sale resulted in a gain of $5,392,000, recorded as Gain on sale of real estate, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In connection with the sale, the Company paid off the $7,376,000 mortgage balance on this property and incurred a $472,000 swap termination fee (included in Prepayment costs on debt) and a $249,000 write-off of deferred financing costs (included in Amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs). The non-controlling interests share of income from the transaction was $1,320,000 and is included in net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Note 6 Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures
Variable Interest Entities Ground Leases
In June 2014, the Company purchased land for $6,510,000 in Sandy Springs, Georgia, improved with a 196 unit apartment complex, and in March 2015, the Company purchased land for $9,300,000 in Lakemoor, Illinois, improved with a 496 unit apartment complex. With each purchase, the Company simultaneously entered into a triple net ground lease with the owner/operator of the applicable complex.
The Company determined that it has a variable interest through its ground leases and the owner/operators are VIEs because their equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; this assessment did not change as a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 (see Note 2). Simultaneously with the closing of each

Note 6 Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures (Continued)
acquisition, the owner/operator obtained a mortgage from a third party ($16,230,000 for Sandy Springs and $43,824,000 for Lakemoor) which, together with the Companys purchase of the land, provided substantially all of the aggregate funds to acquire the complex. The Company provided its land as collateral for the respective owner/operators mortgage loans; accordingly, each land position is subordinated to the applicable mortgage. Other than as described above, no other financial support has been provided by the Company.
The Company further determined that for each acquisition it is not the primary beneficiary because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the owner/operators economic performance, such as management, operational budgets and other rights, including leasing of the units, and therefore, does not consolidate the VIEs for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these investments as land and the revenues from the ground leases as Rental income, net. Such rental income amounted to $428,000 and $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The following is a summary of the Companys variable interests in identified VIEs, in which it is not the primary beneficiary, and the aggregate carrying amount and maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands):

Pursuant to the terms of the ground lease for the property in Sandy Springs, Georgia, the owner/operator is obligated to make certain unit renovations as and when units become vacant. Cash reserves totaling $1,894,000 were received by the Company in conjunction with the purchase of the property in June 2014 to cover such renovation work and other reserve requirements. Through the year ended December 31, 2015, an additional $121,000 of reserves was received by the Company and an additional $67,000 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2016. These cash reserves are held by the Company and disbursed once the renovations have been completed. Through the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company disbursed approximately $941,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 the Company disbursed approximately $110,000 for renovation costs to the owner/operator. The cash reserve balance at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $1,031,000 and $1,074,000, respectively, and is classified as Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entity Consolidated Joint Ventures
A joint venture in which the Company has a 95% equity interest and a senior preferred equity interest, acquired a property located in Joppa, Maryland. The Company had historically determined that this joint venture was a VIE. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company re-assessed its evaluation and determined this venture is still a VIE as the Companys voting rights are not proportional to its economic interests and substantially all of the joint ventures activities are conducted on behalf of the Company.
With respect to the six other consolidated joint ventures in which the Company has between an 85% to 95% interest, the Company had historically determined that such ventures were not VIEs. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-02, the Company re-assessed its evaluation of these investments and determined such ventures are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights.
In each of these seven joint ventures, the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint ventures performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company has continued to consolidate the operations of these joint ventures for financial statement purposes. The joint ventures creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by these joint ventures.

MCB Real Estate, LLC and its affiliates (MCB) are the Companys joint venture partner in five consolidated joint ventures. At March 31, 2016, the Company has aggregate equity investments of approximately $18,064,000 in such ventures.
A joint venture with MCB, in which the Company has a net equity investment of $2,763,000, owns a property formerly operated as a Pathmark supermarket in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In July 2015, this tenant filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, rejected the lease, and in late September 2015, vacated the property. This tenant accounted for approximately 1.3% of the Companys rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the mortgage debt on such property is $4,485,000. The Company has determined that no impairment charge is required currently with respect to this property.
Distributions by Consolidated Joint Ventures
Distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro rata to the equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
Note 7 Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Companys five unconsolidated joint ventures each own and operate one property. Such ventures are not considered VIEs (see Note 2). The Companys equity investment in such unconsolidated joint ventures at such dates totaled $11,076,000 and $11,350,000, respectively. The Company recorded equity in earnings of $209,000 and $147,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Note 8 Lease Termination Fee Income
In March 2015, the Company received a $650,000 lease termination fee from an industrial tenant in a lease buy-out transaction. In connection with the receipt of this fee, the Company wrote-off $226,000 as an offset to rental income, representing the entire balance of the unbilled rent receivable related to the sole tenant at this property. The Company re-leased this property simultaneously with the termination of the lease.

Note 9 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its tenants to make required rent payments. If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of its ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was no balance in allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements. On March 2, 2016, Sports Authority Inc., a tenant at the Companys Greenwood Village, Colorado property filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This tenant accounted for approximately 0.8% of the Companys rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, the Company recorded an aggregate bad debt expense of $153,000, relating to rental income and tenant reimbursements due from this tenant.
Note 10 Debt Obligations
Mortgages Payable
On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-03, Interest Imputation of Interest Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, a company will present unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability with retrospective application to all prior periods presented. The adoption of this ASU had no impact on the Companys previously reported income from operations, net income or accumulated undistributed net income for the periods presented.
As a result of the adoption of this guidance, the following table depicts the adjustments to the Companys previously reported consolidated balance sheet amounts at December 31, 2015 (amounts in thousands):

The Company has a $75,000,000 credit facility with Manufacturers & Traders Trust Company, VNB New York, LLC, Bank Leumi USA and Israel Discount Bank of New York which matures December 31, 2018. The facility provides that the Company pay an interest rate equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin which ranges from 175 basis points to 300 basis points depending on the ratio of the Companys total debt to total value, as determined pursuant to the facility. The applicable margin was 175 basis points at March 31, 2016 and 2015. An unused facility fee of .25% per annum applies to the facility. The average interest rate on the facility was 2.18% and 1.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2016, pursuant to the compensation and services agreement, as amended, with Majestic Property Management Corp., a company wholly-owned by the Companys vice-chairman, property management fees are paid based on 1.5% and 2.0% of the rental payments (including tenant reimbursements) actually received by the Company from net lease tenants and operating lease tenants, respectively. The Company will not pay Majestic property management fees with respect to properties managed by third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company paid $652,000 (including overhead expenses of $49,000 and property management fees of $241,000). For the three months ended March 31, 2015, such quarterly fees were $634,000 (including overhead expenses of $49,000 and property management fees of $223,000).
For 2016, the Company agreed to pay quarterly fees of $65,625 to the Companys chairman and $26,250 to the Companys vice-chairman, the same fees paid to such officers in 2015.
Executive officers and others providing services under the compensation and services agreement were awarded shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units under the Companys stock incentive plans (described in Note 14). The costs of the plans charged to the Companys operations applicable to the executive officers and others providing services under the compensation and services agreement amounted to $344,000 and $310,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In February 2015, a subsidiary of Gould Investors L.P. (Gould), a related party, sold the building where the Companys corporate offices are located to an unrelated party. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company paid the Gould subsidiary rent of $7,000 and all subsequent lease payments have been made to the purchaser.
The fees paid under the compensation and services agreement (except for the property management fees which are included in Real estate expenses), the chairman and vice-chairman fees, the costs of the stock incentive plans, and the rent expense are included in General and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company obtains its property insurance in conjunction with Gould and reimburses Gould annually for the Companys insurance cost relating to its properties. Included in Real estate expenses on the consolidated statements of income is insurance expense of $101,000 and $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company paid an aggregate of $51,000 and $105,000, respectively, to its joint venture partners or their affiliates for property management and acquisition fees, which are included in Real estate expenses and Real estate acquisition costs on the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an unconsolidated joint venture of the Company paid management fees of $35,000 to the other partner of the venture, of which $17,500 reduced Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the consolidated statement of income.

Note 12 Common Stock Cash Dividend
On March 10, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.41 per share on the Companys common stock, totaling $6,996,000. The quarterly dividend was paid on April 7, 2016 to stockholders of record on March 24, 2016.
Note 13 Shares Issued through Equity Offering Program
On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into an amended and restated equity offering sales agreement to sell shares of the Companys common stock from time to time with an aggregate sales price of up to approximately $38,360,000, through an at the market equity offering program. The Company did not sell any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company sold 62,499 shares for proceeds of $1,387,000, net of commissions of $14,000, and incurred offering costs of $40,000 for professional fees. Subsequent to March 31, 2016 and through April 4, 2016, the Company sold 53,563 shares for proceeds of $1,190,000, net of commissions of $12,000.
Note 14 Stock Based Compensation
A maximum of 600,000 shares of the Companys common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to the Companys 2012 Incentive Plan, of which 497,500 shares of restricted stock are outstanding and have not yet vested as of March 31, 2016. For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. An aggregate of 307,500 shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units outstanding under the Companys 2009 equity incentive plan have not yet vested and no additional awards may be granted under this plan.
Pursuant to the Pay-for-Performance program, there are 200,000 performance share awards in the form of restricted stock units (the Units) outstanding under the Companys 2009 Incentive Plan. The holders of Units are not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until the Units vest and shares are issued. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the shares underlying the Units are not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet. No Units were forfeited or vested in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Note 15 Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments 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, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, 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 carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables (excluding available-for-sale securities), dividends payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities (excluding interest rate swaps), are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.
At March 31, 2016, the $336,424,000 estimated fair value of the Companys mortgages payable is more than their $325,186,000 carrying value (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $11,238,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.01% based on the 9.7 year weighted average remaining term of the mortgages. At December 31, 2015, the $346,614,000 estimated fair value of the Companys mortgages payable is more than their $334,428,000 carrying value (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $12,186,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 4.07% based on the 8.9 year weighted average remaining term of the mortgages.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the Companys line of credit (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs) of $29,850,000 and $18,250,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.
The fair value of the Companys mortgages payable and line of credit are estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 amounts.

The Company does not own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.
Available-for-sale securities
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Companys available-for-sale securities included an investment in equity securities of $34,000 and $32,000, respectively (included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets). The aggregate cost of these securities was $5,300, and at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the unrealized gain was $28,600 and $27,000, respectively. Such unrealized gains are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets. Fair values are approximated based on current market quotes from financial sources that track such securities.
Derivative financial instruments
The Companys objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
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.

Note 15 Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. As of March 31, 2016, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has 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.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had entered into 24 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 24 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $130,882,000 notional amount and mature between 2018 and 2028 (weighted average remaining maturity of 8.1 years). Such interest rate swaps, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges, converted LIBOR based variable rate mortgages to fixed annual rate mortgages (with interest rates ranging from 3.38% to 5.75% and a weighted average interest rate of 4.26% at March 31, 2016). The fair value of the Companys derivatives designated as hedging instruments in asset and liability positions reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets were $0 and $8,203,000, respectively, at March 31, 2016, and $0 and $4,299,000, respectively, at December 31, 2015.
Three of the Companys unconsolidated joint ventures, in which wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are 50% partners, had two interest rate derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2016 with an aggregate $10,930,000 notional amount. These interest rate swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges, have interest rates of 3.49% and 5.81% and mature in 2022 and 2018, respectively.

No gain or loss was recognized with respect to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Companys cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. During the twelve months ending March 31, 2017, the Company estimates an additional $2,260,000 will be reclassified from other Accumulated comprehensive loss as an increase to Interest expense and $90,000 will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a decrease to Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.
The derivative agreements in effect at March 31, 2016 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to the agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiarys derivative obligation. In addition, the Company is a party to one of the derivative agreements and if there is a default by the subsidiary on the loan subject to the derivative agreement to which the Company is a party and if there are swap breakage losses on account of the derivative being terminated early, then the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses, if any. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company terminated two interest rate swaps in connection with the early payoff of the related mortgages, and during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company terminated one interest rate swaps in connection with the sale of its Cherry Hill, New Jersey property. The Company accelerated the reclassification of amounts in other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of these hedged forecasted transactions being terminated. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the accelerated amounts were a loss of $24,000 and $472,000, respectively, which is included in Prepayment costs on debt on the consolidated statements of income.
As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the derivatives in the liability position, including accrued interest and excluding any adjustments for nonperformance risk, was approximately $8,745,000. In the unlikely event that the Company breaches any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations thereunder at their termination liability value of $8,745,000. This termination liability value, net of $542,000 adjustments for accrued interest and nonperformance risk, or $8,203,000, is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016.
Note 16 New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 16 New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
Also in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, which states the novation of a derivative contract (i.e., a change in the counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedge accounting relationship. The hedge accounting relationship could continue uninterrupted if all of the other hedge accounting criteria are met, including the expectation that the hedge will be highly effective when the creditworthiness of the new counterparty to the derivative contract is considered. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The effective date of the standard is for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2016 and its adoption did not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events have been evaluated and except as disclosed below, there were no other events relative to the Companys consolidated financial statements that require additional disclosure.
The Company entered into a contract to sell a property in Killeen, Texas for approximately $3,000,000, net of closing costs, and the buyers right to terminate the contract without penalty expired on April 20, 2016. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net book value of the propertys land, building and building improvements was $1,975,000 and $1,983,000, respectively, which is included in Real estate investments, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. This tenant accounted for less than 0.4% of the Companys rental income for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The sale is expected to close in the three months ending June 30, 2016 and the Company anticipates recognizing a gain of approximately $1,000,000, net of the $33,000 write-off of unbilled rent receivable.

Acquisitions, Financings and Other Developments During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
We acquired two properties for an aggregate purchase price of $17.1 million. We estimate that commencing April 1, 2016, rental income from these two properties will be $314,000 per quarter and depreciation expense will be $162,000 per quarter.
We obtained $23.4 million of gross proceeds from mortgage financings and refinancings, including $14.1 million of refinanced amounts. The weighted average interest rate on the $23.4 million of mortgage debt is 3.5% and the weighted average remaining term is 13.3 years.
On March 2, 2016, a tenant that leases a property operated as a Sports Authority retail store located in Greenwood Village, Colorado filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. We are in the process of seeking a replacement tenant and have determined that no impairment charge is required currently with respect to this property.
Development Subsequent to March 31, 2016
We entered into a contract to sell a property in Killeen, Texas for approximately $3,000,000, net of closing costs, and the buyers right to terminate the contract without penalty expired on April 20, 2016. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net book value of the propertys land, building and building improvements was $1,975,000 and $1,983,000, respectively, which is included in Real estate investments, net, on the consolidated balance sheets. This tenant accounted for less than 0.4% of our rental income for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The sale is expected to close in the three months ending June 30, 2016 and we anticipate recognizing a gain of approximately $1,000,000, net of the $33,000 write-off of unbilled rent receivable.
Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, organized in Maryland in 1982. We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio of retail, (including furniture stores, restaurants, office supply stores and supermarkets), industrial, flex, and health and fitness properties, many of which are leased under long-term leases. As of March 31, 2016, we own 114 properties (including seven properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) located in 30 states. Based on square footage, our occupancy rate at March 31, 2016 is approximately 98.6%.
We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business. We, among other things, face the possibility we will not be able to acquire accretive properties on acceptable terms, lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all, our tenants may not be able to pay their rental and other obligations, and we may not be able to renew or relet, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring.
We seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by diversifying among types of properties, industries, locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations and lenders. We also use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk. All of our mortgage debt, after giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, bears interest at fixed rates, eliminating our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our outstanding mortgage debt.
We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenants financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements, obtaining other tenant related financial information, regular contact with tenants representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants.
In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination.
Further, we are sensitive to the risks facing the retail industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce. We are addressing our exposure to the retail industry by seeking to acquire properties that we believe capitalize on e-commerce activities, such as e-commerce distribution and warehousing facilities - however, we intend to continue to acquire retail properties as we deem appropriate.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.
Our 2016 contractual rental income is approximately $58.5 million and represents, after giving effect to any abatements, concessions or adjustments, the base rent payable to us in calendar year 2016 under leases in effect at March 31, 2016. Contractual rental income for 2016 excludes (i) approximately $1.2 million of straight-line rent and $615,000 of amortization of intangibles; (ii) our share of the rental income payable to our unconsolidated joint ventures, which in 2016 is approximately $2.8 million; and (iii) $450,000 of base rent payable in 2016 by Sports Authority located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 2, 2016.
The following table sets forth scheduled lease expirations of leases for our properties as of March 31, 2016 for the calendar years indicated below:

Rental income, net. The increase is due primarily to (i) $1.6 million generated by seven properties acquired in 2015 and (ii) the write-off in 2015 of straight-line rent of $226,000 related to the lease termination fee described below. Partially offsetting this increase is the decrease of $228,000 due to the sale in February 2016 of a portfolio of eight properties. Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included (i) $179,000 from a property which is now vacant, that was formerly leased to Pathmark, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2015 and (ii) $225,000 from a former tenant at a property whose lease expired December 31, 2015. The property was re-leased January 2016, but rental income does not begin until April 1, 2016.
Tenant reimbursements. Real estate tax and operating expense reimbursements increased by (i) $262,000 from six properties acquired since January 2015 and (ii) $244,000 from other properties in our portfolio. We recognized an equivalent amount of real estate expense for these tenant reimbursements.
Lease termination fee. In March 2015, we received a lease termination fee of $650,000 in a lease buy-out transaction. We re-leased the property simultaneously with the lease termination.

Depreciation and amortization. Approximately $19,000 and $487,000 of the increase is due to depreciation expense on the properties we acquired in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately $76,000 is from amortization of property improvements. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2015 is (i) $76,000 of expense related to the portfolio of eight properties that were sold February 2016 and (ii) $55,000 of amortization and write-offs of intangibles and lease commissions that were non-recurring.
General and administrative. Contributing to the increase were increases of: (i) $88,000 in non-cash compensation expense primarily related to the increase in the number of shares of restricted stock granted in 2016 and the higher fair value of the awards granted in 2016 in comparison to the awards granted in 2011 that vested in January 2016; (ii) $72,000 for third party audit services; and (iii) $40,000 in compensation expense primarily due to higher compensation levels.
Real estate expenses. The increase is due primarily to increases of $289,000 from properties acquired since January 2015 and $307,000 from other properties in our portfolio. Substantially all of these expenses are rebilled to tenants. Also contributing to the increase was $113,000 of expenses related to the Pathmark property and $132,000 of expenses related to the Sports Authority property.

Gain on sale of real estate, net. These gains were realized from the February 2016 sale of the Pantry portfolio and the January 2015 sale of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey property. The minority partners share of the gain on the Cherry Hill, New Jersey property was $1.3 million.
Purchase price fair value adjustment. In connection with the acquisition of our joint venture partners 50% interest in a property located in Lincoln, Nebraska, we recorded this adjustment, representing the difference between the book value of the preexisting equity investment on the March 31, 2015 purchase date and the fair value of the investment.
Prepayment costs on debt. These costs were incurred primarily in connection with property sales and the payoff, prior to the stated maturity, of the related mortgage debt. In 2016, these costs related primarily from the sale of the Pantry portfolio and in 2015, these costs related primarily to the sale of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey property.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase is due primarily to our $126,000 share of income associated with the June 2015 purchase of the Manahawkin, New Jersey retail center. This increase was partially offset by our purchase, in March 2015, of our partners interest in a joint venture that owned a retail property in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Lincoln, Nebraska joint venture had contributed $68,000 to equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The increase in mortgage interest expense is due to the increase in the average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding, partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate on outstanding mortgage debt. The increase in the average balance outstanding is due to the incurrence of mortgage debt of $37.8 million in connection with properties acquired in 2015 and the financing or refinancing of $42.9 million, net of refinanced amounts, in connection with properties acquired prior to 2015. The decrease in the average interest rate is due to the financing (including financings effectuated in connection with acquisitions) or refinancing in 2016 and 2015 of $103.0 million of gross new mortgage debt with an average interest rate of approximately 3.9%.
Amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs. The decrease is primarily due to the write-off in 2015 of $249,000 relating to the sale of the Cherry Hill, New Jersey property.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our sources of liquidity and capital are cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans, obtaining mortgage loans secured by our unencumbered properties, issuance of equity securities and property sales. Our available liquidity at May 2, 2016, was approximately $57.1 million, including approximately $7.5 million of cash and cash equivalents (net of the credit facilitys required $3.0 million deposit maintenance balance) and $49.6 million available under our revolving credit facility.
Liquidity and Financing
We expect to meet substantially all of our operating cash requirements (including dividend and mortgage amortization payments) from cash flow from operations. To the extent that this cash flow is inadequate to cover all of our operating needs, we will be required to use our available cash and cash equivalents, or draw on our credit line (to the extent permitted) to satisfy operating requirements.
At March 31, 2016, excluding mortgage indebtedness of our unconsolidated joint ventures, we had 62 outstanding mortgages payable secured by 78 properties, in aggregate principal amount of $325.2 million (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs). These mortgages represent first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate carrying value of $498.8 million, before accumulated depreciation of $60.8 million. After giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, the mortgage payments bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.13% to 7.81% (a 4.60% weighted average interest rate) and mature between 2016 and 2041 (a 9.7 year weighted average remaining term).
The following table sets forth as of March 31, 2016, information with respect to our mortgage debt, that is payable from April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2019 (excluding mortgage debt of our unconsolidated joint ventures):

At March 31, 2016, our unconsolidated joint ventures had first mortgages on four properties with outstanding balances aggregating $36.6 million, bearing interest at rates ranging from 3.49% to 5.81% (i.e., a 3.91% weighted average interest rate) and maturing between 2018 and 2025.
We intend to make debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and, though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, generally intend to refinance or extend the mortgage loans which mature in 2016 through 2019. We intend to repay the amounts not refinanced or extended from our existing funds and sources of funds, including our available cash and our credit line (to the extent available).
We continually seek to refinance existing mortgage loans on terms we deem acceptable to generate additional liquidity. Additionally, in the ordinary course of our business, we sell properties when we determine that it is in our best interests, which also generates additional liquidity. Further, since each of our encumbered properties is subject to a non-recourse mortgage (with standard carve-outs), if our in-house evaluation of the market value of such property is less than the principal balance outstanding on the mortgage loan, we may determine to convey, in certain circumstances, such property to the mortgagee in order to terminate our mortgage obligations, including payment of interest, principal and real estate taxes, with respect to such property.
Typically, we utilize funds from our credit facility to acquire a property and, thereafter secure long-term, fixed rate mortgage debt on such property. We apply the proceeds from the mortgage loan to repay borrowings under the credit facility, thus providing us with the ability to re-borrow under the credit facility for the acquisition of additional properties. As a result, in order to grow our business, it is important to have a credit facility in place.
Credit Facility
We can borrow up to $75 million pursuant to our revolving credit facility which is available to us for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, property improvements and general working capital purposes; provided, that if used for property improvements and working capital purposes, the amount outstanding for such purposes will not exceed the lesser of $15 million and 15% of the borrowing base and if used for working capital purposes, will not exceed $10 million. The facility matures December 31, 2018 and bears interest equal to the one month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 175 basis points if our ratio of total debt to total value (as calculated pursuant to the facility) is equal to or less than 50%, increasing to a maximum of 300 basis points if such ratio is greater than 65%. The applicable margin was 175 basis points at March 31, 2016 and 2015. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and $75 million. The credit facility requires the maintenance of $3 million in average deposit balances.
The terms of our revolving credit facility include restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of debt to value, the minimum level of net income, certain investment limitations and the minimum value of unencumbered properties and the number of such properties. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility. At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the covenants under this facility.

Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flows that provide us with the resources to fund operating expenses, debt service and quarterly dividends.
The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, is due primarily to a $650,000 lease termination fee received in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Additionally, the decrease is related to the timing of cash receipts and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, is due primarily to the decrease in the purchases of, or investments in, real estate and unconsolidated joint ventures.
The increase in cash flow used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 is due primarily to an increase in repayments of mortgages payable and a decrease in mortgage financings, as well as reduced proceeds (net of repayments) on the credit facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements other than with respect to our properties located in Sandy Springs, Georgia and Lakemoor, Illinois. These properties generated $428,000 and $252,000 of rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and at March 31, 2016, our maximum exposure to loss with respect to these properties is $16.1 million, primarily representing the carrying value of the land. These properties are ground leases improved by multi-family properties and our leasehold position is subordinate to an aggregate of $60.1 million of mortgage debt incurred by our tenants, the owner/operators of the multi-family properties. We do not believe that this type of off-balance sheet arrangement has been or will be material to our liquidity and capital resource positions. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these arrangements.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
We compute funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the White Paper on Funds From Operations issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) and NAREITs related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one REIT to another. We compute adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adjusting from FFO for our straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting lease termination fees and gain on extinguishment of debt and adding back amortization of restricted stock compensation, amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities (including our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures) and debt prepayment costs.
We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assures that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity.
FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Management also prepares and reviews the reconciliation of net income to FFO and AFFO.
The table below provides a reconciliation of net income in accordance with GAAP to FFO and AFFO for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is the effect of changes in interest rates on the interest cost of draws on our revolving variable rate credit facility and the effect of changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.
We utilize interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk. These swaps are used for hedging purposes-not for speculation. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for trading purposes. At March 31, 2016, our aggregate liability in the event of the early termination of our swaps was $8.7 million.
At March 31, 2016, we had 26 interest rate swap agreements outstanding (including two held by three of our unconsolidated joint ventures). The fair market value of the interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. As of March 31, 2016, if there had been an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have increased by approximately $9.2 million and the net unrealized loss on derivative instruments would have decreased by $9.2 million. If there were a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would have decreased by approximately $9.4 million and the net unrealized loss on derivative instruments would have increased by $9.4 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.
Our mortgage debt, after giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, bears interest at fixed rates and accordingly, the effect of changes in interest rates would not impact the amount of interest expense that we incur under these mortgages.
Our variable rate credit facility is sensitive to interest rate changes. At March 31, 2016, a 100 basis point increase of the interest rate on this facility would increase our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $299,000 and a 100 basis point decrease of the interest rate would decrease our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $128,000.
The fair market value of our long-term debt is estimated based on discounting future cash flows at interest rates that our management believes reflect the risks associated with long term debt of similar risk and duration.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
