Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation INDUS Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, (“INDUS” or the “Company”) (f/k/a Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc.) is a real estate business principally engaged in developing, acquiring, managing and leasing high-quality industrial and logistics properties in select supply-constrained markets in the United States. INDUS seeks to add to its property portfolio through the development of land or the acquisition of modern, market-appropriate logistics buildings in the markets it targets, all of which can serve multiple drivers of demand in the modern supply chain. Although the Company’s real estate holdings primarily consist of industrial/logistics properties, it also owns a limited number of office/flex properties and undeveloped land parcels. INDUS periodically sells certain office/flex properties or portions of its undeveloped land that it has owned for an extended time and the use of which is not consistent with the Company’s core industrial and logistics strategy. On December 30, 2020, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among INDUS, Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Griffin Industrial Maryland, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of INDUS, the Company completed an internal merger to reincorporate in Maryland. On December 30, 2020, following this merger, the Company changed its name to INDUS Realty Trust, Inc. On February 5, 2021, Griffin Industrial Maryland, LLC changed its name to INDUS Realty Trust, LLC and on June 28, 2021, was converted to INDUS RT, LP, a Maryland limited partnership. On January 4, 2021, the Company announced that it intends to elect to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for its taxable year ending December 31, 2021 (see Note 9). This decision was based on the Company’s consideration of ways to maximize stockholder value and generate growth opportunities as the Company continues to expand its industrial/logistics portfolio. On March 8, 2021, INDUS paid a special dividend to distribute the Company’s estimated accumulated earnings and profits (the “E&P Distribution”) based on the Company’s estimated taxable income through December 31, 2020 (see Note 7). Through November 30, 2020, INDUS reported on a twelve month fiscal year that ended on November 30. On November 17, 2020, in connection with the anticipated election to become a REIT, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from November 30 to December 31, effective beginning with the Company’s next fiscal year, which began on January 1, 2021 and will end on December 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”). As a result of this change, INDUS had a one-month transition period (the “Transition Period”) that began on December 1, 2020 and ended on December 31, 2020. The results of the Transition Period were reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 (the “2021 second quarter”) and the six months ended June 30, 2021 (the “2021 six month period”) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 are referred to herein as the “2020 second quarter” and “2020 six month period,” respectively. The months included in the Company’s 2020 second quarter and 2020 six month period have been presented to conform to the months reflected in the 2021 second quarter and 2021 six month period. INDUS’s consolidated financial statements reflect its accounts and its consolidated subsidiaries. INDUS consolidates the subsidiaries it controls through (i) voting rights or similar rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if INDUS is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). There have been no VIEs in which INDUS is not a primary beneficiary. INDUS may acquire property using a reverse like-kind exchange structure (a “Reverse 1031 Like-Kind Exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Code, to defer taxable gains on the subsequent sale of real estate property. As such, the acquired property (the “Parked Property”) is in the possession of a VIE whose legal equity interests are owned by a qualified intermediary engaged to execute the Reverse 1031 Like-Kind Exchange until the subsequent sale transaction and the Reverse 1031 Like-Kind Exchange are completed. Although the VIE is owned by the qualified intermediary, INDUS retains essentially all of the legal and economic benefits and obligations related to the VIE (which holds the legal title to the Parked Property prior to the completion of the Reverse 1031 Like-Kind Exchange) and, as its designated manager, has the key decision-making power over the Parked Property. As discussed in Note 4, the VIE (including the Parked Property) is included in INDUS’s consolidated financial statements as a consolidated VIE until legal title is transferred to the Company upon completion of the Reverse 1031 Like-Kind Exchange. There were two consolidated VIEs on INDUS's consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the standards of accounting measurement set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 270, “Interim Reporting” and in accordance with the accounting policies stated in INDUS’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) included in INDUS’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2021. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in that report. All adjustments, comprising only normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods, have been reflected and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. INDUS regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation expense and the valuation of derivative financial instruments. INDUS bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by INDUS may differ materially and adversely from INDUS’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. COVID-19 Since March 2020, the world has been impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has created significant economic uncertainty and volatility. The full extent to which the coronavirus pandemic further impacts the Company’s business or impacts the Company’s operations, liquidity and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company is not able to predict at this time, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic; development and spread of new variants of the virus; governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic; the availability, adoption and effectiveness of vaccines to combat COVID-19; the impact on economic activity from the pandemic and actions taken in response, including ongoing travel restrictions; the impact on the availability and pricing of certain materials and supplies; the effect on the Company’s tenants and their businesses; the ability of tenants to make their rental payments; any closures of tenants’ facilities; the ability of existing or prospective tenants to evaluate or enter into leases; and the Company’s ability to complete sales and acquisitions of real estate assets or planned construction and development. Any of these events could materially adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or stock price. COVID-19 has also disrupted the availability, supply and costs of raw materials, particularly the increased cost of steel bar joists, insulation materials and PVC piping used in sitework, which has resulted in an increase in the Company’s cost of construction and a delay in completion of the Company’s construction projects. If these disruptions and higher costs worsen, it could have material adverse impacts on the Company’s business, financial results and financial position in the future. COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the Company’s rent collections in the 2021 six month period as over 99% of cash rent due each month in the 2021 six month period, inclusive of rent relief agreements, was collected. In the 2021 first quarter, the Company entered into an agreement with a tenant that leased an approximately 7,000 square foot restaurant building that would have provided rent relief of approximately $20 over the remainder of that tenant’s lease term. Subsequent to that agreement, the building was sold. As a result of the pandemic there could be future reductions in the Company’s rental revenue, particularly with respect to its office/flex properties. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU No. 2018-13”). ASU No. 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively in the year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. ASU No. 2018-13 became effective for INDUS in the Transition Period. The application of ASU No. 2018-13 did not have an impact on INDUS’s consolidated financial statements.
