Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries have categorized financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure , ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 –	Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 –	Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 –

Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined

using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries' assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of the mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage notes payable was $ 202,772 and $ 319,222 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage notes payable using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries measure the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries classify such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models. See below for a description of the estimates and assumptions the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries used in its impairment analysis. See Note 2 for additional information describing the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries’ impairment review process.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries recognized an impairment of $ 60,170 related to two malls.

Impairment Date	Property	Location	Segment Classification	Loss on Impairment		Fair Value
March	Greenbrier Mall⁽¹⁾	Chesapeake, VA	Malls	$	22,770	$	56,300
December	Park Plaza Mall⁽²⁾	Little Rock, AR	Malls		37,400		39,000
				$	60,170	$	95,300

(1)

In accordance with the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries' impairment process, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $ 56,300. The mall has experienced a decline of NOI due to store closures and rent reductions. These factors resulted in a reduction of the expected hold period for this asset based on management’s assessment that there was an increased likelihood that the loan secured by the mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. Additionally, one anchor was vacant as of the date of impairment. Management determined the fair value of Greenbrier Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 11.0% and a discount rate 11.5%.

(2)

In accordance with the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries' impairment process, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $ 39,000. The mall has experienced a decline of NOI due to store closures and rent reductions. These factors resulted in a reduction of the expected hold period for this asset based on management’s assessment that there was an increased likelihood that the loan secured by the mall may not be successfully restructured or refinanced. Management determined the fair value of Park Plaza Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.0% and a discount rate 14.0%.

In accordance with the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries' impairment process, the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $ 67,300. The mall had experienced declining tenant sales and cash flows as a result of the downturn of the economy in its market area and an anchor announced in the second quarter of 2017 that it would close its store later in 2017. Management determined the fair value of Acadiana Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of ten years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.5% and a discount rate 15.75%.
