Capitalized tenant improvements

The Company carries two categories of capitalized tenant improvements on its consolidated balance sheets, both of which are recorded under investment properties, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The first category is the allocation of acquisition costs to tenant improvements that is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of the date of the Company’s acquisition of the investment property. The second category are tenant improvement costs incurred and paid by the Company subsequent to the acquisition of the investment property. Both are recorded as a component of investment properties on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Depreciation expense on both categories of tenant improvements is recorded as a component of depreciation expense on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company generally records depreciation of capitalized tenant improvements on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Details of these deferred costs, net of depreciation are as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $143,079 and $60,000, respectively, in capitalized tenant improvements. During June 2020, a tenant in the Company’s Franklin Square Property notified the Company that it was abandoning its leased premises and defaulting on its lease. The Company determined that the capitalized tenant improvement associated with this lease that was recorded as part of the purchase of the Franklin Square Property and carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets related to this lease of $81,860 should be written off. This amount is included in the loss on impairment reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. No such loss on impairment was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Depreciation of capitalized tenant improvements incurred subsequent to acquisition was $65,658 and $45,843 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Depreciation of capitalized tenant improvements arising from the acquisition cost allocation was $371,714 and $267,118 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Capitalized leasing commissions

The Company carries two categories of capitalized leasing commissions on its consolidated balance sheets. The first category is the allocation of acquisition costs to leasing commissions that is recorded as an intangible asset (see Note 2, above, for a discussion of the Company’s accounting treatment for intangible assets) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of the date of the Company’s acquisition of the investment property. The second category is leasing commissions incurred and paid by the Company subsequent to the acquisition of the investment property. These costs are carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets under investment properties.

The Company generally records depreciation of capitalized leasing commissions on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Details of these deferred costs, net of depreciation are as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $75,304 and $56,746, respectively in capitalized leasing commissions. Depreciation of capitalized leasing commissions was $65,414 and $49,578 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Assets held for sale

The Company records properties as assets held for sale, and any associated mortgages payable, net, as mortgages payable, net, associated with assets held for sale, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.

During February 2021, the Company committed to a plan to sell an asset group associated with the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property that includes the land, site improvements, building, building improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.  As a result, as of March 31, 2021, the Company reclassified these assets, and the related mortgage payable, net, for the Clemson Best Western Property as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively. The Company expects that it will retain cash and restricted cash and will be responsible for the extinguishment of any accounts payable and other liabilities associated with the Clemson Best Western Property. As of December 31, 2021, management believes that its plans to sell the Clemson Best Western Hotel

Property continue to meet the criteria for the asset to be recorded an asset held for sale and, as of December 31, 2021, the assets held for sale on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included certain assets associated with the Clemson Best Western Property. The Company believes that the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, exceeds the Company’s carrying cost, so the Company has not recorded any impairment of assets held for sale related to the Clemson Best Western Property for the year ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company committed to a plan to sell an asset group associated with the Hampton Inn Property that includes the land, site improvements, building, building improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment. As a result, as of December 31, 2020, the Company reclassified these assets, and the related mortgage payable, net, for the Hampton Inn Property as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively. The Company expected that it would retain cash and restricted cash and would be responsible for the extinguishment of any accounts payable and other liabilities associated with the Hampton Inn Property. Accordingly, these amounts were excluded from the assets and related liabilities that had been reclassified as assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3,494,058 on assets held for sale. This impairment charge resulted from reducing the carrying value of the Hampton Inn Property for the amounts that exceeded the property’s estimated fair value less estimated selling costs. See Note 2, above. The Company closed on the sale of the Hampton Inn Property on August 31, 2021. (See “Sale of investment property”, below.)

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale consisted of the following:

Sale of investment property

On August 31, 2021, the Company sold the Hampton Inn Property to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $12.9 million, resulting in a gain on sale of investment properties of $124,641 reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company did not report any gain or loss on the sale of investment properties for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company reports properties that are either previously disposed of or currently held for sale in continuing operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations if the disposition, or anticipated disposition, of the assets does not represent a shift in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company’s sale of the Hampton Inn Property and plan to sell the asset group associated with the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property do not constitute a change in the Company’s investment strategy, which continues to include limited service hotels as a targeted asset class.

Operating results of the Hampton Inn Property, which are included in continuing operations, are as follows:
