Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2020, the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”) was delayed as a result of the disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, including the impact of (a) certain employees working from home, which slowed the Company’s routine quarterly close process, (b) delays in communications with various counterparties and (c) the need to perform additional analyses and procedures relating to the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the Company’s business and operations and on the financial statements included in the Form 10-Q. The Company has relied on the “Order Under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies” dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465), issued by the SEC in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, to delay the filing of the Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company” “we”, “us”, or “our”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 19, 2018. On May 17, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (our “Class A common stock”). The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (each, an “OP Unit,” and collectively, the “OP Units”). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”). Prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the Company had no operations.
The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of OP Units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. As of March 31, 2020, the Company held an approximately 65.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which we are the primary beneficiary.
Our Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) is a combination of limited liability companies (the “LLCs”), one C-Corporation (“UPH”), one S-Corporation (“NPM”) and one limited partnership. The entities that comprise the Predecessor were majority owned and controlled by Mr. Andrew Spodek and his affiliates and were acquired by contribution to, or merger with, the Company and the Operating Partnership.
The Predecessor does not represent a legal entity. The Predecessor and its related assets and liabilities were under common control and were contributed to the Operating Partnership in connection with the Company’s IPO.
For the periods prior to May 17, 2019, the Predecessor, through the LLCs, UPH and the limited partnership, owned 190 post office properties in 33 states.
NPM was formed on November 17, 2004, for the purpose of managing commercial real estate properties.
As of March 31, 2020, the Company owned a portfolio of 549 postal properties located in 45 states. Our properties were leased to a single tenant, the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”), other than a de minimis non-postal tenant that shares space in a building leased to the USPS.
In addition, through its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), Postal Realty Management TRS, LLC (“PRM”), the Company provides fee-based third party property management services for an additional 401 postal properties, which are owned by Mr. Spodek and his affiliates, his family members and their partners.
The Company, until May 15, 2019, was authorized to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On May 15, 2019, in connection with the IPO, the Company amended its articles of incorporation such that the Company is currently authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 27,206 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (our “Class B common stock” or “Voting Equivalency stock”), and up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The Company believes it has been organized in conformity with, and has operated in a manner that has enabled it to meet, the requirements or qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Code, and will elect to be taxed as a REIT under the Code beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 upon the filing of its federal income tax return for such year. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its REIT taxable income for each tax year to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements.
Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose, as we have done, to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Note 2. The Company’s IPO and Formation Transactions
Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on May 17, 2019. The Company’s operations are carried out primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
On May 17, 2019, the Company completed its IPO, pursuant to which it sold 4,500,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. The Company raised $76.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $71.1 million after deducting approximately $5.4 million in underwriting discounts and before giving effect to $6.4 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. The Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSTL” on May 15, 2019.
In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, used a portion of the net proceeds to repay approximately $31.7 million of outstanding indebtedness related to the Predecessor.
Pursuant to the Formation Transactions, the Company, directly or through the Operating Partnership, acquired the entities that comprise the Predecessor. The initial properties and other interests were contributed in exchange for 1,333,112 OP Units, 637,058 shares of Class A common stock, 27,206 shares of Voting Equivalency stock and $1.9 million of cash. In addition, the Operating Partnership purchased 81 post office properties (the “Acquisition Properties”) in exchange for $26.9 million in cash, including approximately $1.0 million paid to Mr. Spodek, the Company’s chief executive officer and a director for his non-controlling ownership in nine of the Acquisition Properties.
Because of the timing of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflect the results of operations of the Predecessor. The financial condition as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflect solely the financial condition and operations of the Company. References in these notes to consolidated financial statements to “Postal Realty Trust, Inc.” signify the Company for the period after the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions and the Predecessor for all prior periods.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its Predecessor, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company did not have any operations from the date of formation to May 17, 2019. The Predecessor represents a combination of certain entities holding interests in real estate that were commonly controlled prior to the Formation Transactions. Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate Predecessor entities which owned the properties and the management company are presented on a combined consolidated basis. The effects of all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income (loss) reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.
The accompanying consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2020. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Escrows and Reserves
Cash included unrestricted cash with a maturity of three months or less. Escrows and reserves consisted of restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and escrows and reserves reported within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
As of | ||||||||
March 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||
Cash | $ | 2,844,040 | $ | 12,475,537 | ||||

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their short maturities.
The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facility approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings aggregated approximately $3.3 million and $3.2 million as compared to the principal balance of $3.2 million and $3.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt was categorized as a Level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of these financial instruments was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.
Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Impairment
The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Concentration of Credit Risks
As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s properties were leased to a single tenant, the USPS, other than a de minimis non-postal tenant that shares space in a building leased to the USPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, no state had a concentration of rental income over 10% as a percentage of total rental income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our total rental income of $1.5 million was concentrated in the following states: Texas (13.8%), Massachusetts (13.4%), Wisconsin (12.3%) and Ohio (10.4%). The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in any of these areas and could have an effect on our overall business results.
The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Equity Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company will record forfeitures as they occur.
The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.
See Note 11. Stockholder’s Equity for further details.
Earnings per Share
The Company calculates net loss per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock for the period beginning May 17, 2019. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were 2,827,737 potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to the issuance of OP Units and LTIP Units held by non-controlling interests as of March 31, 2020.

Future Application of Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases; in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases — Targeted Improvements; and in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. This group of ASUs is collectively referred to as Topic 842. Topic 842 supersedes the existing standards for lease accounting (Topic 840, Leases). Topic 842 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 as a result of its classification as an emerging growth company.
The Company expects to elect the practical expedients provided by Topic 842, including: the package of practical expedients that allows an entity not to reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, and (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and as a lessor, the practical expedient not to separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from the lease component if the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and associated lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.
Topic 842 requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet through a right-of-use (“ROU”) model, in which a lessee records an ROU asset and a lease liability on their balance sheet. Leases that are less than 12 months do not need to be accounted for under the ROU model. Lessees will account for leases as financing or operating leases, with the classification affecting the timing and pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Lease expense will be recognized based on the effective interest method for leases accounted for as finance leases and on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases accounted for as operating leases. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was the lessee under one office lease and one ground lease that would require accounting under the ROU model.
The accounting by a lessor under Topic 842 is largely unchanged from that of Topic 840. Under Topic 842, lessors will continue to account for leases as a sales-type, direct-financing, or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease. Topic 842 requires accounting for a transaction as a financing in a sale leaseback in certain circumstances, including when the seller-lessee is provided an option to purchase the property from the landlord at the tenant’s option. The Company expects that this provision could change the accounting for these types of leases in the future. Topic 842 also includes the concept of separating lease and non-lease components. Under Topic 842, non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, would be accounted for under Topic 606 and separated from the lease payments. However, the Company will elect the lessor practical expedient allowing the Company to not separate these components when certain conditions are met. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company expects to combine tenant reimbursements with rental income on its consolidated statements of operations.
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The Company will also be required to disclose information about how it developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. ASU No. 2018-19 excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of this guidance. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 as a result of its classification as an emerging growth company. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Explanatory Notes:
(1) | On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with People’s United Bank, National Association, individually and as administrative agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as syndication agent, and certain other lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million with an accordion feature (“the Accordion Feature”) that permits the Company to borrow up to an additional $100.0 million for an aggregate total of $200.0 million, subject to customary terms and conditions, and a maturity date of September 27, 2023. On January 30, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement in order to exercise a portion of the Accordion Feature to increase the maximum amount available under the Credit Facility to $150.0 million, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an enforceable lease. On June 25, 2020, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to increase available capacity, as well as the restrictive covenant pertaining to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in such amendment). |
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at our option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.7% to 1.4% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.7% to 2.4% per annum, each based on a consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will pay, for the period through and including the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020, an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility of 0.75% per annum for the first $100 million and 0.25% per annum for the portion of revolving commitments exceeding $100.0 million, and for the period thereafter, an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum for the aggregate unused revolving commitments, with both periods utilizing calculations of daily unused commitments under the Credit Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $0.2 million of unused fees related to the Credit Facility. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facility’s debt covenants.
(2) | As of March 31, 2020, the one-month LIBOR rate was 0.99%. |
(3) | Five properties are collateralized under this loan as of March 31, 2020 with Mr. Spodek as the guarantor. On September 8, 2021 and every five years thereafter, the interest rate will reset at a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (“Prime”) + 0.5%. |
(4) | The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. Interest rate resets on December 31, 2022 to Prime + 0.25%. |

Note 8. Income Taxes
Income tax expense related to UPH for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $39,749 at an effective tax rate of 13.4%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differs from the statutory rate of 21% due to certain entities included in the combined consolidated financial statements that are not subject to tax at the entity level, state taxes and interest and penalties from unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to the utilization of loss carryforwards.
In connection with the IPO, the Company and PRM jointly elected to treat PRM as a TRS. PRM performs management services, including for properties the Company does not own. PRM generates income, resulting in federal and state corporate income tax liability for PRM. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, income tax expense related to PRM was $10,197.
The Company has unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 of $0.6 million which is inclusive of interest and penalties and a corresponding indemnification asset which is recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the IPO, the indirect sole shareholder of UPH agreed to reimburse the Company for unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to the utilization of certain loss carryforwards at UPH. The Company recorded an indemnification asset in the same amount as the unrecognized tax benefits. The indirect sole shareholder of UPH will be responsible for all tax related matters related to UPH.
On March 27, 2020, the President signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act was enacted to provide economic relief to companies and individuals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Included in the CARES Act are tax provisions which increase allowable interest expense deductions for 2019 and 2020 and increase the ability for taxpayers to use net operating losses. While we do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on the Company’s taxable income or tax liabilities, we will continue to analyze the provisions of the CARES Act and related guidance as it is published.
Note 9. Related Party Transactions
Management Fee Income
PRM recognized management fee income of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the Predecessor recognized management fee income of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from various properties which were affiliated with Mr. Spodek. These amounts are included in “Fee and other income” on the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accrued management fees receivable of $0.1 million and $0.08 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are included in “Rents and other receivables” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Related Party Lease
On October 1, 2018, the Predecessor entered into a lease for office space in Cedarhurst, New York with an entity affiliated with the Predecessor (the “Office Lease”). Pursuant to the Office Lease, the monthly rent was $15,000 subject to escalations. The term of the Office Lease was five years commencing on October 1, 2018 (with rent commencing on January 1, 2019) and was set to expire on September 30, 2023. In connection with the IPO, the Office Lease was terminated. On May 17, 2019, the Company entered into a new lease for office space in Cedarhurst, New York with an entity affiliated with the Company’s CEO (the “New Lease”). Pursuant to the New Lease, the monthly rent is $15,000 subject to escalations. The term of the New Lease is five years commencing on May 17, 2019 and will expire on May 16, 2024. Rental expenses associated with the office lease for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $47,782 and was recorded in “General and administrative expenses” on the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2020, $3,096 was outstanding and payable and is included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other.”

Note 11. Stockholder’s Equity
The Company issued 4,500,000 shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with the IPO resulting in net proceeds of approximately $71.1 million after deducting approximately $5.4 million in underwriting discounts and before giving effect to $6.4 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. In addition, the Company issued 637,058 shares of Class A common stock and 27,206 shares of Voting Equivalency stock in connection with the Formation Transactions. Each outstanding share of Voting Equivalency stock entitles its holder to 50 votes on all matters on which Class A common stockholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors, and holders of shares of Class A common stock and Voting Equivalency stock will vote together as a single class. Shares of Voting Equivalency stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, at the election of the holder at any time. Additionally, one share of Voting Equivalency stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock for each 49 OP Units transferred (including by the exercise of redemption rights afforded with respect to OP Units) to a person other than a permitted transferee. This ratio is a function of the fact that each share of Voting Equivalency stock entitles its holder to 50 votes on all matters on which Class A common stockholders are entitled to vote and maintains the voting proportion of holders of Voting Equivalency stock with the holder’s economic interest in our Company.

Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests in the Company represent OP Units held by the Predecessor’s prior investors and certain sellers of properties to the Company and LTIP Units primarily issued to the Company’s CEO in connection with the IPO and in lieu of cash compensation. The Company issued 483,333 OP Units in connection with a portfolio that the Company acquired, 53,230 LTIP Units to the Company’s CEO for his 2019 incentive bonus and 13,708 LTIP Units to the Company’s CEO during the three months ended March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, non-controlling interests consisted of 2,640,795 OP Units and 186,942 LTIP Units and 2,157,462 OP Units and 120,004 LTIP Units, respectively. This represented approximately 34.2% and 30.0% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Operating Partnership units and shares of common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the later of (i) the completion of the IPO or (ii) the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for cash, or at the Company's sole discretion, in shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement.
The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to their percentage ownership of OP Units.
Restricted Stock and Other Awards
Pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan” or the “Plan”), the Company may grant equity incentive awards to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock that were authorized for issuance under the plan were 541,584. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining shares available under the Plan for future issuance was 40,237. The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards, other equity-based awards (including LTIP units) and dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of performance units and other equity-based awards.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In connection with the IPO, the Company established the Postal Realty Trust, Inc. 2019 Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which allows the Company’s employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount. A total of 100,000 shares of Class A common stock will be reserved for sale and authorized for issuance under the ESPP. The Code permits us to provide up to a 15% discount on the lesser of the fair market value of such shares of stock at the beginning of the offering period and the close of the offering period. As of March 31, 2020, 3,538 shares have been issued under the ESPP since commencement. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized compensation expense of $8,545 which is recorded in “General and administrative” on the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not involved in any litigation nor to its knowledge is any litigation threatened against the Predecessor or the Company, as applicable, that, in management’s opinion, would result in any material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, or which is not covered by insurance.
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into non-binding (except with regard to exclusivity and confidentiality) letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions. There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent, that the Company will close the transactions contemplated by such contracts on time, or that the Company will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Recently, the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely impacted global economic activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated government responses are creating disruption in, and adversely impacting, many industries. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company and its tenant, which could adversely affect the Company and its financial performance. The Company received all of its April, May and June rents and payments due from holdover tenants and has not received any request for rent concessions as the date of this Quarterly Report. In addition, given the dislocation and government-imposed travel related limitations as a consequence of the pandemic, the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term may be delayed.
On April 14, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $6.0 million under the Credit Facility.
On April 27, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Alignment of Interest Program of the Company (as amended and restated, the “Alignment of Interest Program”), previously approved by the Board of Directors and in which the Company’s named executive officers and directors of the Company are eligible to participate. Among other amendments, the Alignment of Interest Program was amended to expand the class of participants eligible to be selected to participate in the Alignment of Interest Program by the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to include any Company employees or other individuals providing services to the Company or its affiliates, provided that they are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan.
On April 27, 2020, the Board of Directors amended the Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the approval of stockholders. Such amendment solely increases the total number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan from 541,584 shares to 1,291,584 shares. The remainder of the Equity Incentive Plan remains unchanged.
On April 30, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.20 per share which was paid on May 29, 2020 to stockholders of record on May 11, 2020.
On April 30, 2020, the Company closed on the acquisition of a 13-building portfolio leased to the USPS in various states for approximately $7.1 million. In connection with the purchase, the Company obtained $4.5 million of mortgage financing, at a fixed interest rate of 4.25% with interest only for the first 18 months, which resets in November 2026 to the greater of Prime or 4.25%. The financing matures in April 2040. In addition, the Company purchased six postal properties in individual or smaller portfolio transactions for approximately $3.4 million.
In May 2020, the Company determined that it had overdrawn its Credit Facility by approximately $5.1 million. The Company satisfied such amount with a portion of the proceeds from the secured mortgage financing described below.
On May 15, 2020, the Company paid down $0.5 million on the Credit Facility.
On May 28, 2020, the Company completed the separation of deed and transfer of the real property attributable to a de minimis non-postal tenant that shares space in a building leased to the USPS. At the time of the IPO a property located in Milwaukee, WI, a portion of which is leased to the USPS, was contributed to the Company. It was intended that the non-postal portion of the property would revert back to an entity affiliated with Mr. Spodek once a separation of the deed was completed. The portion of the property leased to the USPS remains owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The independent members of our Board of Directors ratified the no consideration transfer.
On June 8, 2020, the Company obtained $9.2 million of mortgage financing at a fixed interest rate of 4.25% with interest only payable for the first 18 months, which resets in January 2027 to the greater of Prime or 4.25%. The financing matures in June 2040.

Current Lease Renewal and Revised USPS Lease Form
As of June 25, 2020, the leases at 43 of our properties (consisting of 20 properties for which leases expired in 2019, including one lease that expired as of the date of our acquisition, and 23 properties for which leases expired in 2020) had expired and the USPS is occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, aggregating $1.9 million in annualized rental income. To date, the USPS has not vacated or notified us of its intention to vacate any of these 43 properties. The Company has received all holdover rent on a month to month basis, with the USPS paying the greater of market rent or the rent amount under the expired lease.
The USPS has adopted a revised form of our modified double-net lease, which transfers the responsibility for additional maintenance expenses and obligations to the landlord, including some components of plumbing and electrical systems. To date, we have not renewed or entered into revised leases for any of our leases with the USPS that expired in 2019 or 2020.
As of June 25, 2020, we have not entered into any definitive documentation with respect to any addendum to the revised form of our modified double-net lease, rental rates or leases for the 43 properties at which the USPS is a holdover tenant, and there can be no guarantee that any new leases that we enter into with the USPS will reflect our expectations with respect to terms or timing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto of Postal Realty Trust, Inc. contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” and “our company” refer to Postal Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“our Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner and which we refer to in this Quarterly Report as our Operating Partnership.
Prior to the closing of our initial public offering (our “IPO”) on May 17, 2019, Andrew Spodek, our chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors (the “Board”), directly or indirectly controlled 190 properties owned by the Predecessor that were contributed as part of the Formation Transactions (as defined below). Of these 190 properties, 140 were held indirectly by the Predecessor through a series of holding companies, which we refer to collectively as “UPH.” The remaining 50 properties were owned by Mr. Spodek through 12 limited liability companies and one limited partnership, which we refer to collectively as the “Spodek LLCs.” References to our “Predecessor” consist of UPH, the Spodek LLCs and Nationwide Postal Management, Inc., a property management company whose management business we acquired in the Formation Transactions (as defined below), collectively.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 2018 and commenced operations upon completion of our IPO on May 17, 2019 and the related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”). We conduct our business through a traditional UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries.
We will elect to be treated as a REIT under the Code beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, upon the filing of our federal income tax return for such year. As long as we qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that we distribute our taxable income for each tax year to our stockholders.
Initial Public Offering
On May 17, 2019, we completed our IPO, pursuant to which we sold 4,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (our “Class A common stock”), at a public offering price of $17.00 per share. We raised $76.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $71.1 million after deducting approximately $5.4 million in underwriting discounts and before giving effect to $6.4 million in other expenses relating to our IPO. Our Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “PSTL” on May 15, 2019. In connection with our IPO and the Formation Transactions, we also issued 1,333,112 OP Units, 637,058 shares of Class A common stock and 27,206 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (our “Class B common stock” or “Voting Equivalency stock”), to Mr. Spodek and his affiliates in exchange for the Predecessor properties and interests.
We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership through which our postal properties are directly or indirectly owned. As of March 31, 2020, we owned approximately 65.8% of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (each, an “OP Unit,” and collectively, the “OP Units”) including long term incentive units of the Operating Partnership (each, an “LTIP Unit” and collectively, the “LTIP Units”). Our Board oversees our business and affairs.
Executive Overview
We are an internally managed REIT with a focus on acquiring and managing properties leased to the USPS. We believe the overall opportunity for consolidation that exists in the sector is very attractive. We continue to execute our strategy to acquire and consolidate postal properties that will generate strong earnings for our shareholders.
At the completion of our IPO and the Formation Transactions, we owned a portfolio of 271 postal properties located in 41 states comprising approximately of 872,000 net leasable interior square feet, all of which were leased to the USPS. As of March 31, 2020, our portfolio consisted of 549 owned postal properties, located in 45 states and comprising approximately 1.7 million net leasable interior square feet.
Q1 2020 Highlights
Acquisitions
● | Closed on the acquisition of a 21-property portfolio leased to the USPS for approximately $13.6 million, which includes 483,333 OP Units. |
● | Closed on the acquisition of a 42-property portfolio leased to the USPS for approximately $8.8 million. |
● | Closed on the acquisition of 20 additional properties leased to the USPS in individual or smaller portfolio transactions for approximately $8.1 million. |
21
Debt
● | We exercised a portion of the accordion feature on the Credit Facility to increase our permitted borrowing capacity up to $150.0 million and borrowed an additional $14.0 million under the Credit Facility, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an enforceable lease. Subject to certain conditions and borrowing base limitations, the total aggregate capacity under the Credit Facility is $200.0 million. |
Equity
● | Our Board of Directors approved and we declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.17 per share which was paid on February 28, 2020 to stockholders of record on February 14, 2020. |
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have availed ourselves of these exemptions; although, subject to certain restrictions, we may elect to stop availing ourselves of these exemptions in the future even while we remain an “emerging growth company.”
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and have elected to take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenue equals or exceeds $1.07 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) December 31, 2024, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act.
Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations
COVID-19 Pandemic
Recently, the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely impacted global economic activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated government responses are creating disruption in, and adversely impacting, many industries. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of COVID-19. Nevertheless, COVID-19 presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company’s tenant, which could adversely affect the Company and its financial performance. The Company received all of its April, May and June rents and payments due from holdover tenants and has not received any request for rent concessions as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
In addition, given the dislocation and government-imposed travel related limitations as a consequence of the pandemic, the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term may be delayed. The Company has also been affected in that: (i) we have permitted certain employees to work from home, which slowed, for example, the Company’s routine quarterly close process; and (ii) we have been impacted by delays in communications with, and operations of, various counterparties. Although the effectiveness of our work from home practices have improved since implementation, the continued and future improvement of such practices, as well as communications with, and the operations of, various counterparties, is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The USPS
We are dependent on the USPS’s financial and operational stability. The USPS is currently facing a variety of circumstances that are threatening its ability to fund its operations and other obligations as currently conducted without intervention by the federal government.
The USPS is constrained by laws and regulations that restrict revenue sources, mandate certain expenses and cap its borrowing capacity. As a result, the USPS is unable to fund its mandated expenses and continues to be subject to mandated payments to its retirement system and health benefits for current workers and retirees. The USPS has taken the position that productivity improvements and cost reduction measures alone without legislative and regulatory intervention will not be sufficient to maintain the ability to meet all of its existing obligations when due.
22
Revenues
We derive revenues primarily from rent and tenant reimbursements under leases with the USPS for our properties, and fee and other income under the management agreements with respect to the postal properties owned by Mr. Spodek, his family members and their partners managed by PRM, our TRS. Rental income represents the lease revenue recognized under leases with the USPS. Tenant reimbursements represent payments made by the USPS under the leases to reimburse us for the majority of real estate taxes paid at each property. Fee and other income principally represent revenue PRM receives from postal properties owned by Mr. Spodek, his family members and their partners pursuant to the management agreements and typically is a percentage of the lease revenue for the managed property. As of March 31, 2020, all properties leased to the USPS had an average remaining lease term of 2.94 years. Factors that could affect our rental income, tenant reimbursement and fee and other income in the future include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to renew or replace expiring leases and management agreements; (ii) local, regional or national economic conditions; (iii) an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, post office space; (iv) changes in market rental rates; (v) changes to the USPS’s current property leasing program or form of lease; and (vi) our ability to provide adequate services and maintenance at our properties and managed properties.
Operating Expenses
We lease our properties to the USPS. The majority of our leases are modified double-net leases, whereby the USPS is responsible for utilities, routine maintenance and the reimbursement of property taxes and the landlord is responsible for insurance and roof and structure. Thus, an increase in costs related to the landlord’s responsibilities under these leases could negatively influence our operating results. Refer to “Current Lease Renewal and Revised USPS Lease Form” for further discussion.
Operating expenses generally consist of real estate taxes, property operating expenses, which consist of insurance, repairs and maintenance (other than those for which the tenant is responsible), property maintenance-related payroll and depreciation and amortization. Factors that may affect our ability to control these operating costs include but are not limited to: the cost of periodic repair, renovation costs, the cost of re-leasing space and the potential for liability under applicable laws. Recoveries from the tenant are recognized as revenue on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related expenditures are incurred. Tenant reimbursements and operating expenses are recognized on a gross basis, because (i) generally, we are the primary obligor with respect to the real estate taxes and (ii) we bear the credit risk in the event the tenant does not reimburse the real estate taxes.
The expenses of owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances, such as market factors and competition, cause a reduction in income from the property. If revenues drop, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. Costs associated with real estate investments generally will not be materially reduced even if a property is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. As a result, if revenues decrease in the future, static operating costs may adversely affect our future cash flow and results of operations.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include employee compensation costs (including equity-based compensation), professional fees, legal fees, insurance, consulting fees, portfolio servicing costs and other expenses related to corporate governance, filing reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the NYSE, and other compliance matters. Our Predecessor was privately owned and historically did not incur costs that we incur as a public company. In addition, while we expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to rise as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our revenues will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.
23
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense relate primarily to depreciation on properties and improvements and to amortization of certain lease intangibles.
Indebtedness and Interest Expense
Interest expense for our Predecessor related primarily to three mortgage loans payable and related party interest-only promissory notes, See Note 6. Debt for further details. As a result of the Formation Transactions, we assumed certain indebtedness of the Predecessor, a portion of which was repaid without penalty using a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO. On September 27, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with People’s United Bank, National Association, individually and as administrative agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as syndication agent, and certain other lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million and, subject to customary conditions, the option to increase the aggregate lending commitments under the agreement by up to $100.0 million (the “Accordion Feature”). On January 30, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement in order to exercise a portion of the Accordion Feature to increase the maximum amount available under the Credit Facility to $150.0 million, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an enforceable lease. As of March 31, 2020, the leases at 31 of our properties had expired and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, thereby excluding such properties from being part of the borrowing base under our Credit Facility. On June 25, 2020, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to increase available capacity, as well as the restrictive covenant pertaining to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in such amendment). Refer to Item 5. Other Information of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of such amendment. We intend to use the Credit Facility for working capital purposes, which may include repayment of mortgage indebtedness, property acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. Consistent with the method adopted by our Predecessor, we amortize on a non-cash basis the deferred financing costs associated with its debt to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method over the terms of the related loans. Any changes to the debt structure, including debt financing associated with property acquisitions, could materially influence the operating results depending on the terms of any such indebtedness.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on our income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. Additionally, any income earned by PRM and any other TRS we form in the future, will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.
Current Lease Renewal and Revised USPS Lease Form
As of June 25, 2020, the leases at 43 of our properties (consisting of 20 properties for which leases expired in 2019, including one lease that expired as the date of our acquisition, and 23 properties for which leases expired in 2020) had expired and the USPS is occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, aggregating approximately 163,000 interior square feet and $1.9 million in annualized rental income. To date, the USPS has not vacated or notified us of its intention to vacate any of these 43 properties. When a lease expires, the USPS becomes a holdover tenant on a month-to-month basis typically paying the greater of market rent or the rent amount under the expired lease. During this holdover period, all maintenance responsibilities shift back to the USPS while it continues to reimburse property taxes. As of June 25, 2020, monthly rent rates on 42 of 43 holdover properties are approximately 5.8% higher than the rent rate in effect at the time of expiration of the prior lease. The remaining holdover property was a below market lease where the rental rate increased significantly.
The USPS has adopted a revised form of our modified double-net lease, which transfers the responsibility for additional maintenance expenses and obligations to the landlord, including some components of plumbing and electrical systems. To date, we have not renewed or entered into revised leases for any of our leases with the USPS that expired in 2019 or 2020.
As of June 25, 2020, we believe we have tentatively agreed to preliminary terms with the USPS on an addendum to its revised form of lease, pursuant to which documentation requirements are streamlined and some of the new responsibilities placed on the landlord by the USPS’ revised form of our modified double-net lease would be mitigated. We also believe we have tentatively agreed to preliminary terms on rental rates for 19 of the 20 leases that expired in 2019 and 7 of the 23 leases that have expired in 2020. In addition, we believe that in connection with executing revised form of leases, we will receive a lump sum reimbursement from the USPS for increased rents from the date of expiration to the date of lease execution. We anticipate that we will execute new, revised-form leases with the addendum for the leases that expired in 2019 in the near-term. However, we have not entered into any definitive documentation with respect to this addendum, rental rates or leases for the 43 properties at which the USPS is a holdover tenant, and there can be no guarantee that any new leases that we enter into with the USPS will reflect our expectations with respect to terms or timing.
As we adopt the USPS’s revised form of our modified double-net lease going forward, we anticipate that our property operating expenses and initial leasing costs may increase; however, we believe that the net impact of these additional expenses may be generally offset by our ability to negotiate contractual rent increases in excess of such expenses, which, if successful, could result in minimal changes to our net income as we adopt this new form of lease as our legacy leases expire.

Explanatory Note:
(1) | Reflects the results of operations of the Predecessor for the three months ended March 31,2019. |
Revenues
Total revenues increased by $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in revenue is attributable to the properties that we acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions and the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
Rental income – Rental income increased by $2.8 million quarter over quarter and is made up of $0.2 million related to the properties purchased by our Predecessor and $2.6 million for the properties that we acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions and the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
Tenant reimbursements – Tenant reimbursements increased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to the properties that we acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions and the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
Operating Expenses
Real estate taxes – Real estate taxes increased by $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 as a result of the properties that we acquired in connection with the Formation Transactions and the properties that we acquired since the completion of our IPO.
Property operating expenses – Property operating expenses increased by $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Property management expenses are included within property operating expenses and increased by $76,685 to $241,536 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $164,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The remainder of the increase of $0.2 million is related to repairs and maintenance and insurance for the 81 properties that were acquired as part of the Formation Transactions and the properties that we have acquired since our IPO.
General and administrative – General and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to higher professional fees and increased personnel and investor relations expenses as a result of being a public company. In addition, $0.3 million of the general and administrative expense is attributable to acquisition related expenses for the postal properties that were acquired. In addition, we had equity-based compensation expense of $0.7 million related to stock awards that were issued in connection with our IPO and in the first quarter of 2020. Our Predecessor did not have any equity-based compensation expense.
Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.6 million to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and is primarily related to the properties that we acquired as part of the Formation Transactions and the properties that were acquired since our IPO.
Income Tax Expense – Income tax expense decreased by $0.03 million to $0.01 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.04 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and was primarily attributable to a higher taxable income related to UPH. This is offset by income tax expense of $0.01 million related to PRM for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
26
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred interest expense of $0.8 million compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the Credit Facility we entered into during 2019, which has an outstanding balance of $68.0 million as of March 31, 2020.
Cash Flows
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three months ended March 31, 2019
The Company had cash of $2.8 million as of March 31, 2020 compared to $0.4 million as of March 31, 2019.
Cash flow from operating activities – Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.9 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in rental income due to the properties that were acquired as part of our Formation Transactions and the properties since our IPO.
Cash flow to investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities increased by $22.5 million to $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of postal properties during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Cash flow from financing activities – Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $11.9 million to $12.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily due to the $14.0 million we borrowed under the Credit Facility, offset by dividends that were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”)
We calculate FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do and therefore our computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.
We calculate AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for recurring capital expenditures (defined as all capital expenditures that are recurring in nature, excluding capital improvements that are incurred in connection with the acquisition of a property or obtaining a lease or lease renewal) and acquisition related expenses (defined as acquisition-related expenses that are incurred for investment purposes and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our existing portfolio, including due diligence costs for acquisitions not consummated and certain auditing and accounting fees incurred that were directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions) that are not capitalized and then adding back non-cash items including: non-real estate depreciation, loss on extinguishment of debt, write-off and amortization of debt issuance costs, straight-line rent adjustments, fair value lease adjustments and non-cash components of compensation expense. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of our operating performance. We believe that AFFO is widely-used by other REITs and is helpful to investors as a meaningful additional measure of our ability to make capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as we do and therefore our calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.
These metrics are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income. Management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate’ assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the additive use of FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentation, is widely-used by our competitors and other REITs and provides a more complete understanding of our performance and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make investment decisions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had approximately $2.8 million of cash and $0.7 million of escrows and reserves as of March 31, 2020.
On September 27, 2019, we entered into the Credit Agreement with People’s United Bank, National Association, individually and as administrative agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as syndication agent, and certain other lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for the senior revolving Credit Facility with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of a $100.0 million and a maturity date of September 27, 2023.
The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to customary conditions, including obtaining lender commitments and compliance with its financial maintenance covenants under the Credit Agreement, we may seek to increase the aggregate lending commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $100.0 million, with such increase in total lending commitments to be allocated to increasing the revolving commitments.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at our option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.7% to 1.4% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.7% to 2.4% per annum, each based on a consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we paid, for the period through and including the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2020, an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility of 0.75% per annum for the first $100.0 million and 0.25% per annum for the portion of revolving commitments exceeding $100.0 million, and will pay for the period thereafter, an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum for the aggregate unused revolving commitments, with both periods utilizing calculations of daily unused commitments under the Credit Facility. We are permitted to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Facility prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of any LIBOR breakage costs of the lenders.
On January 30, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement in order to exercise a portion of the accordion feature on the Credit Facility to increase permitted borrowings by $50.0 million to $150.0 million, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an enforceable lease. As of March 31, 2020, we had $68.0 million outstanding under our Credit Facility. Also, as of March 31, 2020, the leases at 31 of our properties had expired and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, thereby excluding such properties from being part of the borrowing base under our Credit Facility. On June 25, 2020, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to increase available capacity, as well as the restrictive covenant pertaining to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in such amendment). Refer to Item 5. Other Information of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of such amendment. We intend to use our Credit Facility for working capital purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, property acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
Our Credit Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by our Company and certain indirect subsidiaries of our Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and includes a pledge of equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens on assets, make certain types of investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, sell assets, enter into hedging transactions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and make distributions. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with consolidated financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, including a maximum consolidated secured indebtedness ratio, maximum consolidated leverage ratio, minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, minimum consolidated tangible net worth, maximum dividend payout ratio, maximum consolidated unsecured leverage ratio, and minimum debt service coverage ratio. The Credit Agreement also contains certain customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under our Credit Facility, any event or condition that makes other material indebtedness due prior to its scheduled maturity, the failure to satisfy certain covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and potentially acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, cash, borrowings under our Credit Facility and the potential issuance of securities.
28
Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term indebtedness including our Credit Facility and mortgage financing, the issuance of equity and debt securities and proceeds from select sales of our properties. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Credit Facility pending permanent property-level financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, in the future, there may be a number of factors that could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including unfavorable conditions in the overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base, borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders, general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance, liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to access these various capital sources. In addition, we continuously evaluate possible acquisitions of postal properties, which largely depend on, among other things, the market for owning and leasing postal properties and the terms on which the USPS will enter into new or renewed leases.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make distributions to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gains. As a result of this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are not REITs. If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to find alternative ways to fund those needs. Such alternatives may include, among other things, divesting ourselves of properties (whether or not the sales price is optimal or otherwise meets our strategic long-term objectives), incurring indebtedness or issuing equity securities in public or private transactions, the availability and attractiveness of the terms of which cannot be assured.
Consolidated Indebtedness as of March 31, 2020
As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $71.2 million of outstanding consolidated principal indebtedness. The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2020 with respect to the outstanding indebtedness of the Company:
Amount Outstanding as of March 31, 2020 | Interest Rate at March 31, 2020 | Maturity Date | ||||||||

Explanatory Notes:
(1) | On September 27, 2019, we entered into our Credit Agreement, which provides for revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of a $100.0 million and an accordion feature that permits us to borrow up to $200.0 million, subject to customary conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we amended the Credit Agreement in order to exercise a portion our accordion feature to increase permitted borrowings to $150.0 million from $100.0 million, subject to the borrowing base properties identified therein remaining unencumbered and subject to an enforceable lease. As of March 31, 2020, $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount under the Credit Facility was authorized and $68.0 million was drawn. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the Credit Facility’s debt covenants. On April 14, 2020, we borrowed an additional $6.0 million under the Credit Facility. In May 2020, we determined that we had overdrawn our Credit Facility by approximately $5.1 million. We satisfied such amount with a portion of the proceeds from the secured mortgage financing described below. As of the date of this filing, $67.5 million is outstanding under the Credit Facility. On June 25, 2020, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to revise, among other items, certain definitions and borrowing base calculations to increase available capacity, as well as the restrictive covenant pertaining to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth (as defined in such amendment). Refer to Item 5. Other Information of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of such amendment. |
(2) | As of March 31, 2020, the one-month LIBOR rate was 0.99%. |
(3) | Five properties are collateralized under this loan as of March 31, 2020 with Mr. Spodek as the guarantor. On September 8, 2021 and every five years thereafter, the interest rate will reset at a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (“Prime”) + 0.5%. |
(4) | The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. Interest rate resets on December 31, 2022 to Prime + 0.25%. |
(5) | The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. Interest rate resets on January 31, 2023 to Prime + 0.5%. |
(6) | In connection with the acquisition of a property, we obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount $0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $105,661 with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0% interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025. |
Secured Borrowings as of March 31, 2020
As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $3.2 million of secured borrowings outstanding, all of which was fixed rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 4.61% per annum.
Historically, our Predecessor’s equity capital was principally provided by Mr. Spodek as the majority equity owner of the Predecessor entities and its debt capital was principally provided through first mortgage loans on the properties owned by the Predecessor and promissory notes payable to related parties. Following the completion of our IPO and the Formation Transactions, we repaid approximately $31.7 million of indebtedness of the Predecessor using a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO. Depending on our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility, we may pursue significant secured borrowings in the future; although, we have not entered into any preliminary or binding documentation with respect to any such additional secured borrowings and there is no guarantee that any lender will be willing to lend to us on the terms and timing that we expect, if at all.
Dividends
To qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to pay dividends to stockholders at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 we paid cash dividends of $0.17 per share. On April 30, 2020, our Board of Directors approved and we declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.20 per share which was paid on May 29, 2020 to stockholders of record on May 11, 2020.
Subsequent Real Estate Acquisitions and Related Financings
On April 30, 2020, we closed on the acquisition of a 13-building portfolio leased to the USPS in various states for approximately $7.1 million. In connection with the purchase, we obtained $4.5 million of mortgage financing at a fixed interest rate of 4.25%, with interest only for the first 18 months, which resets in November 2026 to the greater of Prime or 4.25%. The financing matures in April 2040. In addition, we purchased six postal properties in individual or smaller portfolio transactions for approximately $3.4 million.
On June 8, 2020, we obtained $9.2 million of mortgage financing at a fixed interest rate of 4.25% with interest only for the first 18 months, which resets in January 2027 to the greater of Prime or 4.25%. The financing matures in June 2040.
30
Acquisition Pipeline
As of June 25, 2020, we had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire one additional postal property of approximately 9,000 square feet for a purchase price of approximately $1.7 million. Such transaction is anticipated to close during the third quarter subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
We continue to identify, and are in various stages of reviewing, additional postal properties for acquisition and believe there are strong opportunities to continue growing our pipeline. In addition, given the dislocation and government-imposed travel related limitations as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term may be delayed.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to the heading titled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates of the Predecessor and the Company, as applicable.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of our adoption of new accounting pronouncements, please see Note 3 of our Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
Inflation
Because most of our leases provide for fixed annual rental payments without annual rent escalations, our rental income is fixed while our property operating expenses are subject to inflationary increases. A majority of our leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes and thus the tenant must reimburse us for real estate taxes. We believe that if inflation increases expenses over time, increases in lease renewal rates will materially offset such increase.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may manage our market risk on variable rate debt through the use of derivative instruments such as interest cap agreements to, in effect, cap the interest rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. In the future, we may use interest rate swaps or other derivatives that fi x the rate on all or a portion of our variable rate debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements will be to reduce our floating rate exposure. However, we provide no assurance that our efforts to manage interest rate volatility will successfully mitigate the risks of such volatility in our portfolio and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. We may utilize swap arrangements in the future.
As of March 31, 2020, our total indebtedness was approximately $71.2 million, consisting of approximately $68.0 million of variable-rate debt and approximately $3.2 million of fixed rate debt. Assuming no increase in the amount of our outstanding variable-rate indebtedness, if the one-month LIBOR were to increase or decrease by 0.50%, our cash flows would decrease or increase by approximately $340,000 on an annualized basis.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and President, Treasurer and Secretary (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
32
From time to time, we may in the future be party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Our management does not believe that any such litigation will materially affect our financial position or operations.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The following risk factor is intended to supplement the risk factors previously disclosed.
We are required going forward to adopt and utilize the USPS’s revised form of our modified double-net lease, which transfers the responsibility for additional maintenance expenses and obligations to the landlord, including some components of plumbing and electrical systems, and compensate third-party brokers of the USPS.
The USPS has adopted a revised form of our modified double-net lease, which transfers the responsibility for additional maintenance expenses and obligations to the landlord, including some components of plumbing and electrical systems. To date, we have not renewed or entered into revised leases for any of our leases with the USPS that expired in 2019 or 2020. We are required going forward to adopt and utilize the USPS’s revised form of our modified double-net lease and pay commissions to third-party brokers of the USPS.
The potential effects and increased costs associated with adopting and utilizing the USPS’s revised form of our modified double-net lease and paying commissions to third-party brokers of the USPS may limit the number of attractive investment opportunities going forward and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected.
The following risk factor is intended to replace the risk factor previously titled, “Public health threats such as COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the demand for post office properties and USPS operations.”
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and measures being taken to prevent its spread, including government-imposed travel related limitations, could (i) negatively impact demand for USPS services and post office properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and (ii) delay our ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term.
The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and measures being taken to prevent its spread has resulted in a reduction in foot traffic in many public places, including post office properties. A continued reduction in the use of in-person services may reduce the demand for post office properties by the USPS and our results of operations could decline as a result. The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has also caused a decline in mail volume, particularly in advertising conducted through the mail. Early estimates suggest that mail volume could decline by as much as 60% as compared to the previous year and by as much as 50% in the USPS’s second quarter of 2020, which runs from April through June. The USPS has predicted that it could lose as much as $23 billion in revenues over the next 18 months. Continued reduction or permanent changes to mail volume could reduce demand for postal properties and materially adversely affect our result of operations. Further, although the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was recently signed into law and remains subject to approval by the U.S. Treasury Department, includes a $10 billion loan to the USPS, there can be no assurances that this financing will be approved or sufficient to sustain USPS operations in light of current shortfalls resulting from reduced mail volumes. Additionally, the conditions precedent to receiving the $10 billion loan may include significant increases in fees charged by the USPS to companies such as Amazon, Inc. for package delivery services. Such increase may reduce demand for the USPS's package delivery services and materially adversely affect our results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the USPS has not received any portion of the contemplated $10 billion loan.
In addition, the USPS is dependent on the efforts of its employees, many of whom come into contact with a large number of individuals on a daily basis. If USPS employees are unwilling or unable to report to work regularly because of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic or USPS services are otherwise diminished as a result of governmental response to the pandemic, the demand for USPS services or the reputation of the USPS may suffer, leading to a reduced need for post office properties and adversely affecting our business and results of operations.
Furthermore, given the dislocation and government-imposed travel related limitations as a consequence of the pandemic, our ability to complete acquisitions in the near-term may be delayed. The Company has also been affected in that: (i) we have permitted certain employees to work from home, which slowed, for example, the Company’s routine quarterly close process; and (ii) we have been impacted by delays in communications with, and operations of, various counterparties. Although the effectiveness of our work from home practices have improved since implementation, the continued and future improvement of such practices, as well as communications with, and the operations of, various counterparties, is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The following risk factor is intended to replace the risk factor previously titled, “As of December 31, 2019, 20 of our leases were either in holdover status or expired on December 31, 2019, and if we are unable to renew these leases on equivalent terms, we might experience lower rental income, net operating income, cash flows and funds available for distributions.”
33
As of June 25, 2020, the leases at 43 of our properties had expired and the USPS is occupying such properties as a holdover tenant. If we are not successful in renewing these expired leases, we will likely experience reduced occupancy, rental income and net operating income, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to shareholders.
As of June 25, 2020, the leases at 43 of our properties (consisting of 20 properties for which leases expired in 2019, including one lease that expired as of the date of our acquisition, and 23 properties for which leases expired in 2020) had expired and the USPS is occupying such properties as a holdover tenant, aggregating approximately 163,000 interior square feet and $1.9 million in annualized rental income. When a lease expires, the USPS becomes a holdover tenant on a month to month basis, typically paying the greater of market rent or the rent amount under the expired lease. To date, the USPS has not vacated or notified us of its intention to vacate any of these 43 properties. As of June 25, 2020, monthly rent rates on 42 of 43 holdover properties are approximately 5.8% higher than the rent rate in effect at the time of expiration of the prior lease. The remaining holdover property was a below market lease where the rental rate increased significantly. Due to the fact that the USPS is occupying 43 of our properties as a holdover tenant, such properties are excluded from being part of the borrowing base under our Credit Facility.
As of June 25, 2020, we believe we have tentatively agreed to preliminary terms with the USPS on an addendum to its revised form of lease, pursuant to which documentation requirements are streamlined and some of the new responsibilities placed on the landlord by the USPS’ revised form of our modified double-net lease would be mitigated. We also believe we have tentatively agreed to preliminary terms on rental rates for 19 of the 20 leases that expired in 2019 and 7 of the 23 leases that have expired in 2020. We anticipate that we will execute new, revised-form leases with the addendum for the leases that expired in 2019 in the near-term. However, we have not entered into any definitive documentation with respect to this addendum, rental rates or leases for the 43 properties at which the USPS is a holdover tenant, and there can be no guarantee that any new leases that we enter into with the USPS will reflect our expectations with respect to terms or timing.
We might not be successful in renewing the leases that are in holdover status or that are expiring in 2020, or obtaining positive rent renewal spreads, or even renewing the leases on terms comparable to those of the expiring leases. If we are able to renew these expired leases, the lease terms may not be comparable to those of the previous leases. If we are not successful, we will likely experience reduced occupancy, rental income and net operating income, as well as diminished borrowing capacity which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to shareholders.
The following risk factor is intended to replace the risk factor previously titled, “Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to, among other things, meet our capital and operating needs or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT.”
Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could limit our ability to, among other things, meet our capital and operating needs or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Depending on our ability to borrow under our Credit Facility, we may pursue significantly more secured borrowings in the future, although we have not entered into any preliminary or binding documentation with respect to any such additional secured borrowings and there is no guaranty that any lender will be willing to lend to us on the terms and timing that we expect, if at all. In order to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required under the Code to, among other things, distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary capital expenditures, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all and any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage and likelihood of default. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:
● | general market conditions; |
● | the market’s perception of our growth potential; |
● | our current debt levels; |
● | our current and expected future earnings; |
● | our cash flow and cash distributions; and |
● | the market price per share of our Class A common stock. |
Historically,
the capital markets have been subject to significant disruptions. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may
not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing
properties, satisfy our debt service obligations or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to qualify and maintain
our qualification as a REIT.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units. Thereafter, there was no material change in our planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in the final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 16, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, our Operating Partnership had fully used the net proceeds received from us as described below:
● | approximately $29.0 million to acquire interests in our initial properties; |
● | approximately $31.7 million to repay mortgage debt secured by some of our initial properties; |
● | approximately $6.1 million for general corporate purposes, including payment of expenses associated with our Formation Transactions, future acquisitions, transfer taxes and potentially, paying distributions. |
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
On June 25, 2020 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), Postal Realty LP, as the borrower (the “Borrower”), Postal Realty Trust, Inc. and certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, and People’s United Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the lenders (the “Lenders”) party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) entered into that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as joint lead arranger, dated as of September 27, 2019, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), dated as of January 30, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”).

● | The Borrowing Base is 60.0% of the Borrowing Base Portfolio Value; |
● | The Borrowing Base Portfolio Value and Consolidated Total Real Estate Value calculations utilize a purchase date cutoff of six (6) calendar months; and the Borrowing Base Portfolio Value calculation utilizes an alternate metric for properties purchased at a capitalization rate of 7.0% or less and six (6) calendar months prior to such calculation; |
● | To be classified as a Postal Lease, a Lease to the United States Postal Service does not require that the tenant pay all real estate taxes at the property; and |
● | Consolidated Tangible Net Worth may not be less than (i) as of the last day of each calendar quarter ending September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, $50,000,000, and (ii) as of the last day of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2020, $75,000,000, and (iii) as of the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the sum of (x) $75,000,000 plus (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate net proceeds received by any Borrower Group Entity in connection with any offering of Equity Interests in the REIT on or after June 25, 2020. |

SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT
SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of June 25, 2020, among Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), POSTAL REALTY TRUST INC., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), the SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS party hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”; the REIT and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, individually, a “Guarantor Party” and, collectively, the “Guarantor Parties”), and PEOPLE’S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent for the Lenders (defined below) (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).
RECITALS:
A. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, certain lenders (together with their respective successors and assigns, the “Lenders”), and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as Joint Lead Arranger, are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 27, 2019, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2020 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, each initially capitalized term used herein has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Agreement.
B. Borrower, the Guarantor Parties and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) desire to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower, the Guarantor Parties and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) agree as follows:
Section 1. Amendments of Credit Agreement. Effective as of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) The term “Borrowing Base” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows (with the amendments identified in underlined, italicized font):
““Borrowing
Base” means, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to fifty sixty

(a) except
as set forth in clause (c) below, for any Borrowing Base Property that was acquired by a Borrowing Base Entity less than
twelve (12) six (6) calendar months prior to such date, the lesser of (i) the
quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Net Operating Income of such Borrowing Base Property as of such date by (B) the Capitalization
Rate or (ii) the Net Purchase Price paid by such Borrowing Base Entity to acquire such Borrowing Base Property;
and
(b) for
any Borrowing Base Property that was acquired by a Borrowing Base Entity twelve (12) six (6)
calendar months or more prior to such date, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Net Operating Income of such Borrowing Base

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Borrowing Base Portfolio Value shall be calculated pursuant to clause
(a)(ii) above and therefore, if such twenty-five percent (25%) is reached, the balance of the Borrowing Base Portfolio Value shall
be calculated based on Net Operating Income divided by the Capitalization Rate.”

of such Real Estate Asset as of such date by (B) the Capitalization Rate and (ii) the Net Purchase Price paid
by such Borrower Group Entity to acquire such Real Estate Asset; and
(b) for
any Real Estate Asset that was acquired by a Borrower Group Entity twelve (12) six (6) calendar
months or more prior to such date, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Net Operating Income of such Real Estate Asset as
of such date by (ii) the Capitalization Rate.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Consolidated Total Real Estate Asset Value shall be calculated pursuant
to clause (a)(ii) above and therefore, if such twenty-five percent (25%) is reached, the balance of the Consolidated Total Real
Estate Asset Value shall be calculated based on Net Operating Income divided by the Capitalization Rate.”

losses from change in control of the REIT, (d) non-cash stock-based compensation, (e) impairment write-downs of real estate assets

(c) all obligations of such Person to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade accounts payable in the ordinary course of business), to the extent such obligations constitute indebtedness for the purpose of GAAP;
(d) Capital Lease Obligations;
(e) all obligations of such Person to purchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise make any payment in respect of any Disqualified Capital Stock of such Person, valued, in the case of a redeemable preferred interest, at the greater of its voluntary or involuntary liquidation preference plus (without duplication and only to the extent required to be paid) accrued and unpaid dividends;
(f) all Guarantees of such Person in respect of any of the foregoing of another Person;

3
For all purposes hereof, the Indebtedness of any Person shall include the Indebtedness of any other Person (including any partnership in which such Person is a general partner) to the extent such Person is liable therefor as a result of such Person’s ownership interest in or other relationship with such entity, except to the extent the terms of such Indebtedness expressly provide that such Person is not liable therefor. The amount of any Capital Lease Obligations on any date shall be deemed to be the amount of Attributable Indebtedness in respect thereof as of such date. The net amount of any Swap Obligations on any date shall be deemed to be the Swap Termination Value thereof as of such date. All Loans shall constitute Indebtedness of the Borrower.”
(f) The term “Net Operating Income” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows (with the amendments identified in underlined, italicized font):

Operating Income” means, as of any date, with respect to any Real Property, (A) all rental and other income actually

Income shall be based on the most recently ended calendar quarter on or prior to such date for which a duly completed Property

Schedule of principal balances of mortgage loans payable |
Explanatory Notes:
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facility are, at our option, equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.7% to 1.4% per annum or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.7% to 2.4% per annum, each based on a consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, the Company will pay, for the period through and including the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2020, an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility of 0.75% per annum for the first $100 million and 0.25% per annum for the portion of revolving commitments exceeding $100.0 million, and for the period thereafter, an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum for the aggregate unused revolving commitments, with both periods utilizing calculations of daily unused commitments under the Credit Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $0.2 million of unused fees related to the Credit Facility. The Company's ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facility's debt covenants.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its Predecessor, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company did not have any operations from the date of formation to May 17, 2019. The Predecessor represents a combination of certain entities holding interests in real estate that were commonly controlled prior to the Formation Transactions. Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate Predecessor entities which owned the properties and the management company are presented on a combined consolidated basis. The effects of all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income (loss) reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.
The accompanying consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2020. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Escrows and Reserves | Cash and Escrows and Reserves
Cash included unrestricted cash with a maturity of three months or less. Escrows and reserves consisted of restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and escrows and reserves reported within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated and Combined Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Company's borrowings under its Credit Facility approximates carrying value. The fair value of the Company's secured borrowings aggregated approximately $3.3 million and $3.2 million as compared to the principal balance of $3.2 million and $3.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the Company's debt was categorized as a Level 3 basis (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of these financial instruments was determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair value of assets and liabilities is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2020 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Impairment | Impairment
The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risks | Concentration of Credit Risks As of March 31, 2020, the Company's properties were leased to a single tenant, the USPS, other than a de minimis non-postal tenant that shares space in a building leased to the USPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, no state had a concentration of rental income over 10% as a percentage of total rental income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our total rental income of $1.5 million was concentrated in the following states: Texas (13.8%), Massachusetts (13.4%), Wisconsin (12.3%) and Ohio (10.4%). The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in any of these areas and could have an effect on our overall business results. The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Equity Based Compensation | Equity Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company will record forfeitures as they occur.
The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.
See Note 11. Stockholder's Equity for further details. |

Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share
The Company calculates net loss per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock for the period beginning May 17, 2019. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were 2,827,737 potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to the issuance of OP Units and LTIP Units held by non-controlling interests as of March 31, 2020. |

Future Application of Accounting Standards | Future Application of Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases; in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU 2018-11, Leases — Targeted Improvements; and in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. This group of ASUs is collectively referred to as Topic 842. Topic 842 supersedes the existing standards for lease accounting (Topic 840, Leases). Topic 842 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 as a result of its classification as an emerging growth company.
The Company expects to elect the practical expedients provided by Topic 842, including: the package of practical expedients that allows an entity not to reassess upon adoption (i) whether an expired or existing contract contains a lease, (ii) whether a lease classification related to expired or existing lease arrangements, and (iii) whether costs incurred on expired or existing leases qualify as initial direct costs, and as a lessor, the practical expedient not to separate certain non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from the lease component if the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and associated lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately.
Topic 842 requires lessees to record most leases on their balance sheet through a right-of-use ("ROU") model, in which a lessee records an ROU asset and a lease liability on their balance sheet. Leases that are less than 12 months do not need to be accounted for under the ROU model. Lessees will account for leases as financing or operating leases, with the classification affecting the timing and pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Lease expense will be recognized based on the effective interest method for leases accounted for as finance leases and on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for leases accounted for as operating leases. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was the lessee under one office lease and one ground lease that would require accounting under the ROU model.
The accounting by a lessor under Topic 842 is largely unchanged from that of Topic 840. Under Topic 842, lessors will continue to account for leases as a sales-type, direct-financing, or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee. A lease will be classified as direct-financing if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control. Otherwise, the lease is treated as an operating lease. Topic 842 requires accounting for a transaction as a financing in a sale leaseback in certain circumstances, including when the seller-lessee is provided an option to purchase the property from the landlord at the tenant's option. The Company expects that this provision could change the accounting for these types of leases in the future. Topic 842 also includes the concept of separating lease and non-lease components. Under Topic 842, non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, would be accounted for under Topic 606 and separated from the lease payments. However, the Company will elect the lessor practical expedient allowing the Company to not separate these components when certain conditions are met. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company expects to combine tenant reimbursements with rental income on its consolidated statements of operations.
In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current 'incurred loss' model with an 'expected loss' approach. The Company will also be required to disclose information about how it developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced the Company's estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. ASU No. 2018-19 excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of this guidance. This guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 as a result of its classification as an emerging growth company. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. |
