FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate the fair value.

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash - The carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Notes receivable - The fair value is estimated using cash flow analyses, based on an assumed market rate of interest or at a rate consistent with the rates on notes carried by the Company and are classified as level 2 inputs in the hierarchy.

Borrowings under our Credit Facility - The carrying amount approximates the fair value because the borrowings are based on variable market interest rates. The fair value estimates were determined using level 2 inputs.

Derivative financial instruments (Interest rate swaps) - The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate primarily level 2 inputs. The market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation model for interest rate swaps are observable in active markets and are classified as level 2 inputs in the hierarchy.

Mortgage note payable - The fair value is estimated using cash flow analyses which are based on an assumed market rate of interest or at a rate consistent with the rates on mortgage notes assumed by the Company and are classified as level 2 inputs in the hierarchy.

The table below details the fair values and carrying values for our notes receivable, interest rate swaps, and mortgage note payable at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, using level 2 inputs.
