Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2017
Note 1 Organization and Background
One Liberty Properties, Inc. (OLP) was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland. OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT). OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of retail, industrial, restaurant, health and fitness, and theater properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of June 30, 2017, OLP owns 121 properties, including six properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 121 properties are located in 31 states.
Note 2 Summary Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in OLPs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as the Company. Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 2 Summary Accounting Policies (Continued)
The Company assesses the accounting treatment for each of its investments, including a review of each venture or limited liability company or partnership agreement, to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. Additionally, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for any interests pursuant to which the Company may have a variable interest as a lessor. The agreements typically contain certain protective rights, such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. Leases may contain certain protective rights, such as the right of sale and the receipt of certain escrow deposits. In situations where, among other things, the Company and its partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint ventures tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at a property, the Company does not consolidate as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture or property.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs. In addition, the Company shares power with its co-managing members over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.
The Company periodically reviews its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for other-than-temporary losses in investment value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered based on the underlying assets of the investment is considered other than temporary and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there was no impairment charge related to the Companys investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
The Company has elected to follow the cumulative earnings approach when assessing, for the consolidated statement of cash flows, whether the distribution from the investee is a return of the investors investment as compared to a return on its investment. The source of the cash generated by the investee to fund the distribution is not a factor in the analysis (that is, it does not matter whether the cash was generated through investee refinancing, sale of assets or operating results). Consequently, the investor only considers the relationship between the cash received from the investee to its equity in the undistributed earnings of the investee, on a cumulative basis, in assessing whether the distribution from the investee is a return on or return of its investment. Cash received from the unconsolidated entity is presumed to be a return on the investment to the extent that, on a cumulative basis, distributions received by the investor are less than its share of the equity in the undistributed earnings of the entity.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current periods presentation, primarily to change the presentation of Gain on sale of real estate, net on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company has included a caption for Income before gain on sale of real estate, net, to present gain and losses on sales of properties in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 3-15(a) of Regulation S-X. The change was made for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 because, as prescribed by ASC 360-10-45-5, such gains from sale of real estate were not included as a component of Operating income. Such change was determined to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. Unvested restricted stock is not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income; such amounts are allocated entirely to the common stockholders, other than the holders of unvested restricted stock. As of June 30, 2017, the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded under the Pay-for-Performance program are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities. See Note 13 for information regarding the Pay-for-Performance program.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock includes 113,584 and 107,000 shares, respectively (of an aggregate of 200,000 shares) of common stock underlying the restricted stock units awarded pursuant to the Pay-For-Performance program. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, these amounts include (i) 100,000 and 100,000 shares, respectively, issuable upon satisfaction of a total stockholder return metric and (ii) 13,584 and 7,000 shares, respectively, issuable upon satisfaction of a return on capital metric.

Note 4 Real Estate Acquisitions
In January 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which requires an entity to evaluate whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, and if that threshold is met, the asset group is not a business. The Company analyzed the real estate acquisitions made during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and determined the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transactions do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. In accordance with this guidance, direct transaction costs associated with these asset acquisitions have been capitalized to real estate assets and depreciated over the respective useful lives.

As of June 30, 2017, the weighted average amortization for the 2017 acquisitions is 7.3 years and 12.7 years for the intangible lease assets and intangible lease liabilities, respectively. The Company assessed the fair value of the lease intangibles based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount rates and available market information. Such inputs are Level 3 (as defined in Note 14) in the fair value hierarchy.

Properties Held-for-Sale
In June 2017, the Company entered into a contract to sell a retail property, tenanted by Kohls and located in Kansas City, Missouri, for $10,250,000. The property was sold on July 14, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the Company classified the $7,909,000 net book value of the propertys land, building, improvements, unbilled rent receivable, unamortized intangible lease assets and liabilities as Properties held-for-sale in the accompanying balance sheet. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately $2,181,000, which will be included in Gain on sale of real estate, net, for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017. See Note 14 for information on the payoff of the mortgage on this property and the early termination of the interest rate swap derivative.
In June 2017, the Company entered into a contract to sell a vacant retail property located in Niles, Illinois previously tenanted by hhgregg, Inc. for $5,000,000 and the buyers right to terminate the contract without penalty expired on June 28, 2017. At June 30, 2017, the Company classified the $3,743,000 net book value of the propertys land, building and improvements as Properties held-for-sale in the accompanying balance sheet. The sale is expected to close during the three months ending September 30, 2017.

Note 6 Variable Interest Entities, Contingent Liabilities and Consolidated Joint Ventures
Variable Interest Entities Ground Leases
The Company determined that with respect to the properties identified in the table below, it has a variable interest through its ground leases and the three owner/operators (which are affiliated with one another) are VIEs because their equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these VIEs because the Company has shared power over certain activities that most significantly impact the owner/operators economic performance (i.e., shared rights on the sale of the property) and therefore, does not consolidate these VIEs for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these investments as land and the revenues from the ground leases as Rental income, net. Such rental income amounted to $917,000 and $1,804,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $434,000 and $862,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Included in these amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, is rental income for a similarly structured transaction for a property located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, amounting to $157,000 and $308,000, respectively, which the Company sold in June 2016 (see Note 5).

(a) Simultaneously with each purchase, the Company entered into a triple net ground lease with affiliates of Strategic Properties of North America, the owner/operators of these properties.
(b) Simultaneously with the closing of each acquisition, the owner/operator obtained a mortgage from a third party which, together with the Companys purchase of the land, provided substantially all of the aggregate funds to acquire the complex. The Company provided its land as collateral for the respective owner/operators mortgage loans; accordingly, each land position is subordinated to the applicable mortgage. Other than as described above, no other financial support has been provided by the Company to the owner/operator.

Pursuant to the terms of the ground lease for the Wheaton, Illinois property, the owner/operator is obligated to make certain unit renovations as and when units become vacant. Cash reserves to cover such renovation work, received by the Company in conjunction with the purchase of the property, are disbursed when the unit renovations are completed. The related cash reserve balance for this property was $527,000 and $643,000 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in Restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets.
Variable Interest Entity Consolidated Joint Ventures
With respect to the six consolidated joint ventures in which the Company holds between an 85% to 95% interest, the Company has determined such ventures are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not hold substantive kick-out or participating rights.
In each of these six joint ventures, the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint ventures performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the operations of these joint ventures for financial statement purposes. The joint ventures creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by these joint ventures.

Note 13 Stock Based Compensation
The Companys 2016 Incentive Plan (Plan), approved by the Companys stockholders in June 2016, permits the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Companys common stock is authorized for issuance pursuant to this Plan, of which, as of June 30, 2017, 140,100 shares had been issued, 100 shares were forefeited and 3,000 shares had vested.
Under the Companys 2012 Incentive Plan, as of June 30, 2017, 500,700 shares had been issued, 3,350 shares were forfeited and 21,450 shares had vested. No additional awards may be granted under this plan.
For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The restricted stock grants are charged to General and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. All unvested restricted stock awards provide for vesting upon the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, and under certain circumstances may vest earlier.
In 2010, restricted stock units exchangeable for 200,000 shares of common stock (the Units) were awarded pursuant to the Companys Pay-for-Performance program adopted under the Companys 2009 Incentive Plan. The holders of Units are not entitled to dividends or to vote the underlying shares until the Units vest and shares are issued. Accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the shares underlying the Units are not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet. Though they are deemed to have vested as of June 30, 2017, they had not been issued. In August 2017, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance metrics with respect to 113,584 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the restricted stock units had been satisfied accordingly, these

Note 14 Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entitys own assumptions about market participant assumptions. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other observable market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on unobservable market inputs.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables (excluding interest rate swaps), dividends payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities (excluding interest rate swaps), are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.
At June 30, 2017, the $414,925,000 estimated fair value of the Companys mortgages payable is greater than their $399,220,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $15,705,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.67% based on the 8.8 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages. At December 31, 2016, the $413,916,000 estimated fair value of the Companys mortgages payable is greater than their $399,192,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $14,724,000 assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.74% based on the 9.3 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of the Companys line of credit (before unamortized deferred financing costs) of $26,500,000 and $10,000,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.
The fair value of the Companys mortgages payable and line of credit are estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The Company does not own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 1 or 3.
The Companys objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities.
Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has assessed and determined the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had entered into 30 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 30 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $140,017,000 notional amount and mature between 2018 and 2028 (weighted average remaining term to maturity of 7.4 years). Such interest rate swaps, 29 of which were designated as cash flow hedges, converted LIBOR based variable rate mortgages to fixed annual rate mortgages (with interest rates ranging from 3.02% to 5.75% and a weighted average interest rate of 4.16% at June 30, 2017). The fair value of the Companys derivatives in asset and liability positions are reflected as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company discontinued hedge accounting on one of its interest rate swaps (see discussion following the table below).

On July 14, 2017, in connection with the sale of a property tenanted by Kohls and located in Kansas City, Missouri, the Company paid off the mortgage and terminated the related interest rate swap. In June 2017, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on this interest rate swap as the hedged forecasted transaction became probable not to occur. As a result, the Company accelerated the reclassification of $118,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. No gain or loss was recognized with respect to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Companys cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2018, the Company estimates an additional $1,121,000 will be reclassified from other accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense and $37,000 will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as a decrease to equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.
The derivative agreements in effect at June 30, 2017 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to the agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiarys derivative obligation. In addition, the Company is a party to the derivative agreements and if there is a default by the subsidiary on the loan subject to the derivative agreement to which the Company is a party and if there are swap breakage losses on account of the derivative being terminated early, then the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses, if any. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company terminated

three interest rate swaps in connection with the early payoff of the related mortgages. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company accelerated the reclassification of $154,000, and $178,000, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of these hedged forecasted transactions being terminated which are included in Prepayment costs on debt on the consolidated statement of income.
As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position, including accrued interest of $88,000, but excluding any adjustments for nonperformance risk, was approximately $2,794,000. In the event the Company breaches any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations thereunder at their termination liability value of $2,794,000. This termination liability value, net of $143,000 adjustments for nonperformance risk, or $2,651,000, is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2017.
Note 15 Commitments
The Company is contractually required (i) to expend approximately $7,800,000, through 2018, for building expansion and improvements at its property tenanted by L-3 Communications, located in Hauppauge, New York, of which $436,000 has been spent through June 30, 2017, and (ii) to reimburse Regal Cinemas, a tenant in Greensboro, North Carolina, $3,000,000 if and when the tenant completes specified improvements to the property.
Note 16 New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which clarifies the scope and application on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amount generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact, if any, it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 16 New Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that arent measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss model with an expected loss approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating this new standard but it is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates adopting this guidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14 and ASU 2016-08 are herein collectively referred to as the New Revenue Recognition Standards.
The New Revenue Recognition Standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company anticipates adopting the New Revenue Recognition Standards on January 1, 2018, and applying the cumulative-effect adoption method. Since the Companys revenue is primarily related to leasing activities, management does not anticipate that the adoption of the New Revenue Recognition Standards will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, incorporated in Maryland in 1982. To qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.
We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of retail (including furniture stores, supermarkets and office supply stores), industrial, restaurant, health and fitness, and theater properties, many of which are leased under long-term leases. As of June 30, 2017, we own 121 properties (including six properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and five properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) located in 31 states. Based on square footage, our occupancy rate at June 30, 2017 is approximately 97.2%.
We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business. We, among other things, face the possibility that (i) we will not be able to acquire accretive properties on acceptable terms, (ii) we will not be able to lease our properties on favorable terms or at all, (iii) our tenants may not be able to pay their rent and comply with other obligations under their leases and (iv) we may not be able to renew or relet, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring.
We seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by diversifying among types of properties, industries, locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations and lenders. We use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk on variable rate mortgages. Substantially all of our mortgage debt either bears interest at fixed rates or is subject to interest rate swaps, limiting our exposure to fluctuating interest rates on our outstanding mortgage debt.
We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenants financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements, obtaining other tenant related financial information, regular contact with tenants representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenants financial condition is unsatisfactory.
In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination.
We are sensitive to the risks facing the retail industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce. Several of our current and former tenants (including Payless ShoeSource, Kmart, hhgregg, Joes Crab Shack and Pathmark) have experienced or are experiencing financial difficulty and have either sought bankruptcy protection and stopped paying rent or closed stores and may cease paying rent. Several properties leased by former tenants have remained vacant for periods ranging from several months to more than a year and though we do not generate rental income from these properties during such periods, we are responsible for paying the debt service and operating expenses (e.g., real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance) related to these properties. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further information about the challenges facing the retail industry and several of our tenants.
We are addressing our exposure to the retail industry by seeking to acquire properties that we believe capitalize on e-commerce activities, such as distribution and warehouse facilities, and by being especially selective in acquiring retail properties. Approximately 40.7% of our contractual rental income (as described below) is derived from retail tenants (including 8.8%, 3.7% and 3.6% from tenants engaged in retail furniture, supermarkets and office supply activities, respectively) and 35.7%, 4.9%, 4.7%, 3.4% and 10.6% from industrial (e.g., distribution and warehouse facilities), restaurant, health and fitness, theaters and other properties, respectively.
Our contractual rental income is approximately $66.6 million and represents, after giving effect to any abatements, concessions or adjustments, the base rent payable to us during the twelve months ending June 30, 2018 under leases in effect at June 30, 2017. Contractual rental income excludes (i) approximately $283,000 of straight-line rent and $1.1 million of amortization of intangibles; (ii) our share of the rental income payable to our unconsolidated joint ventures, which is approximately $2.8 million; (iii) approximately $310,000 of aggregate contractual rental income from properties tenanted by Payless ShoeSource and Joes Crab Shack, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection during the three months ended June 30, 2017; and (iv) approximately $783,000 of contractual rental income from our Kansas City, Missouri property, tenanted by Kohls, which was sold in July 2017.

(1) Lease expirations assume tenants do not exercise existing renewal or termination options.
(2) Excludes an aggregate of 365,065 square feet of vacant properties, properties at which tenants recently obtained bankruptcy protection and a property sold in July 2017.
(3) Includes approximately $1.8 million of contractual rental income related to the property tenanted by L-3 Communications located in Hauppauge, New York, which lease was extended from 2022 to 2033, subject to an agreed upon building expansion and improvements expected to be completed by 2018.
Property Transactions During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired three properties for an aggregate purchase price of $35.2 million, including new mortgage debt of $5.2 million obtained in connection with the acquisition of one property. These acquisitions contributed $153,000 of rental income, $76,000 of depreciation expense and $20,000 of mortgage interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2017. We estimate that commencing July 1, 2017, the rental income from these three properties will be $656,000 per quarter, depreciation expense will be $318,000 per quarter and mortgage interest expense (including mortgage interest expense on new mortgage debt of $8.8 million obtained in July 2017 on one of the properties acquired in the three months ended June 30, 2017) will be $129,000 per quarter.
On May 8, 2017, we sold our vacant Greenwood Village, Colorado property, previously tenanted by Sports Authority, for approximately $9.2 million, net of closing costs, and recognized a $6.6 million gain during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Property Transactions Subsequent to June 30, 2017
On July 14, 2017, we sold a retail property tenanted by Kohls, located in Kansas City, Missouri, for a sales price of $10.1 million, net of closing costs. We anticipate our gain from this sale, which will be recognized in the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017, will be approximately $2.2 million. In connection with the sale of this property, we repaid the $3.9
million mortgage balance and due to the early termination of the interest rate swap derivative, incurred interest expense of $118,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
In June 2017, we entered into a contract to sell our retail property formerly tenanted by hhgregg, Inc., located in Niles, Illinois, for $4.8 million, net of closing costs. We anticipate this sale will be completed in the three months ending September 30, 2017 and estimate that the gain from this sale will be approximately $1.1 million

Rental income, net. The increases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are due primarily to $2.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, generated by three properties acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 11 properties acquired in 2016. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2017 is also due to (i) $267,000 of rental income from a tenant whose lease commenced April 1, 2016 at our Joppa, Maryland property and (ii) $174,000 of annual percentage rent income received from a tenant.
Offsetting the increases are decreases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 of (i) $412,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, representing the 2016 rental income from properties sold during 2016; (ii) $155,000 and $417,000, respectively (including the $263,000 write-off of the entire balance of straight-line rent in the six month period), relating to two properties tenanted by hhgregg, which filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2017, (iii) $268,000 and $505,000, respectively, representing the 2016 rental income from two properties formerly leased to Sports Authority and Quality Bakery which are now vacant and (iv) $166,000 representing the write-off of the entire balance of straight-line rent and lease intangibles relating to our property tenanted by Payless ShoeSource and our property tenanted by Joes Crab Shack. Payless ShoeSource and Joes Crab Shack filed for bankruptcy protection in April and June 2017, respectively.
Tenant reimbursements. Real estate tax and operating expense reimbursements increased during the six months ended June 30, 2016 due primarily to reimbursements of approximately $511,000 from eight properties acquired in 2016, offset by a decrease of $83,000 related to a property sold in June 2016. Tenant reimbursements generally relate to real estate expenses incurred in the same period.

Depreciation and amortization. The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are due primarily to (i) $642,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, of depreciation expense on the properties acquired in 2016 and 2017 and (ii) the $238,000 write-off of tenant origination costs related to the Joes Crab Shack property. The six months ended June 30, 2017 also includes a $646,000 write-off of tenant origination costs related to the hhgregg properties.
General and administrative. Contributing to the increases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were increases of $175,000 and $252,000, respectively, in non-cash compensation expense related primarily to the amortization associated with the restricted stock awards, including $166,000 related to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock of a non-employee director who retired in June 2017. The increase in the six months ended June 30, 2017 also includes an $89,000 increase in compensation expense primarily due to higher compensation levels, as well as a net increase of $79,000 for other miscellaneous expenses, none of which was individually significant.
Real estate expenses. The increases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are due primarily to increases of $237,000 and $591,000, respectively, from properties acquired in 2016 and 2017; most of these expenses are rebilled to tenants and are included in Tenant reimbursements. Also contributing to the increases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $105,000 and $482,000, respectively, of expenses related to the vacant properties formerly tenanted by Quality Bakery and hhgregg. These increases were offset by decreases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 of (i) $70,000 and $205,000, respectively, of expenses related to the vacant properties formerly tenanted by Pathmark and Sports Authority and (ii) $42,000 and $83,000, respectively, resulting from the sale of a property in 2016.
Real estate acquisition costs. The expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relate to the purchase of properties during those periods. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 in January 2017, the real estate acquisitions during the current year were considered asset acquisitions and, as such, acquisition costs of $282,000 were capitalized to the related real estate assets and not expensed.
Federal excise and state taxes. The increases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relate to state franchise tax resulting from the 2016 purchase of a property located in Tennessee.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 include our 50% share, or $146,000, of income obtained for permanent utility easements granted at two properties. There was no such income during 2017.
Prepayment costs on debt. These costs were incurred substantially in connection with the property sales and the payoff, prior to the stated maturity, of the related mortgage debt in 2016, primarily relating to the 2016 sales of the Tomlinson, Pennsylvania property and a portfolio of eight convenience stores (the Pantry Portfolio).
Other income. The increase during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is due primarily to the $243,000 paid by a former tenant in connection with the resolution of a dispute.

Credit line interest
