NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, 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 December 31, 2020, the $461,965,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is greater than their $433,549,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $28,416,000, assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.00% based on the 7.1 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.

At December 31, 2019, the $454,039,000 estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is greater than their $440,278,000 carrying value (before unamortized deferred financing costs) by approximately $13,761,000, assuming a blended market interest rate of 3.72% based on the 8.1 year weighted average remaining term to maturity of the mortgages.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amount of the Company’s line of credit (before unamortized deferred financing costs) of $12,950,000 and $11,450,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s 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.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had entered into 23 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 23 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $84,671,000 notional amount and mature between 2021 and 2028 (weighted average remaining term to maturity of 3.9 years). These interest rate swaps, all 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 5.16% and a weighted average interest rate of 3.95% at December 31, 2020).

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, using Level 2 inputs, was determined to be the following (amounts in thousands):

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 December 31, 2020, 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. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis and that are classified as Level 1 or 3.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company (including one of its unconsolidated joint ventures in 2018) discontinued hedge accounting on several interest rate swaps as the forecasted hedged transactions were no longer probable of occurring. As a result, during 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company reclassified $776,000 and $816,000 of realized loss and $505,000 of realized gain, respectively, from Accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings.

During the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, the Company estimates an additional $1,589,000 will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income as an increase to Interest expense.

The derivative agreements in effect at December 31, 2020 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to such agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiary’s 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, the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of the derivatives in a liability position, including accrued interest of $120,000 and $27,000, respectively, but excluding any adjustments for non-performance risk, was approximately $5,314,000 and $1,832,000, respectively. In the event the Company had breaches of any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations thereunder at their termination liability value of $5,314,000 and $1,832,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. This termination liability value, net of adjustments for non-performance risk of $182,000 and $90,000, is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
