1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation
 
Business Description
Voltari Corporation (“Voltari” or the “Company”) is in the business of acquiring, financing and leasing commercial real properties. The Company had previously been engaged in the business of providing mobile marketing and advertising solutions to brands, marketers and advertising agencies. In August 2015, we began implementing a transformation plan pursuant to which, among other things, we exited our mobile marketing and advertising business. It is anticipated that the majority of the costs related to the transformation plan were incurred during 2015 and 2016. Additional amounts to be incurred during the balance of 2017, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. While we continue to experience losses from continuing operations we have been reducing those losses as compared to prior periods.  We have been funding our operations with borrowings under our Amended Note (as defined herein) as described in Note 5. We expect to continue to rely on borrowings to provide working capital in the near term.
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period. Certain amounts from prior periods related to discontinued operations have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current period.
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates include those involved in the valuation of long lived assets, valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, redeemable preferred stock, litigation and other loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Our significant accounting policies are those that we believe are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Significant Accounting Policies - Real Estate Investments
As a result of our entry into the business of acquiring, financing and leasing commercial real properties, we have adopted the following significant accounting policies. Management believes there have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, except for the standards adopted this period.
 
Investments in real estate will be recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements will be capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property with an in-place operating lease will be determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value will then be allocated to the tangible assets based on the fair value of the tangible assets. The fair value of in-place leases will be determined by considering current market conditions, as well as costs to execute similar leases. The fair value of above- or below-market leases will be recorded based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the Company's estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding in-place lease, measured over the remaining term of the lease, including any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases.

Depreciation will be computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 43 years for buildings, 13 years for land improvements, five years for fixtures and improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Capitalized above-market lease values will be amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values will be amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases and expected below-market renewal option periods. The value of in-place leases, exclusive of the value of above-market and below-market in-place leases, will be amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, " Compensation - Stock Compensation ." ASU 2016-09 simplifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including a policy election option with respect to accounting for forfeitures either as they occur or estimating forfeitures (as is currently required), as well as increasing the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on equity awards. Additionally, ASU 2016-09 requires the cash paid to a taxing authority when shares are withheld to pay employee taxes to be classified as a "financing activity" rather than an "operating activity," as was done previously on the Statement of Cash Flows. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017, and, as a result, we will be accounting for future forfeitures as they occur.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The guidance in this ASU supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Currently, all revenues are derived from lease contracts which are not within the scope of this guidance.
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, " Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this ASU provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The guidance changes the definition of a business to exclude acquisitions where substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. Given this change in definition, we believe most of our real estate acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring in the period of adoption. ASU 2017-01 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those periods . Under the new standard, transaction costs would be capitalized under asset acquisitions and expensed for business combinations. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard to our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, " Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets. Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." ASU 2017-05 clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and clarifies that all businesses are derecognized using the deconsolidation guidance. Additionally, it defines an in substance nonfinancial asset as a financial asset that is promised to a counterparty in a contract in which substantially all the fair value of the assets promised in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, which excludes cash or cash equivalents and liabilities. The new guidance is expected to impact the gain recognized when a real estate asset is sold to a non-customer and a noncontrolling interest is retained. Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires a full gain to be recognized. ASU 2017-05 is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018, and we are currently assessing the impact of this standard to our consolidated financial statements.

5. Revolving Note
 
On August 7, 2015, we, as borrower, and Koala Holding LP (“Koala”), as lender, an affiliate of Carl C. Icahn, our controlling stockholder, entered into a revolving note (the “Prior Note”). Pursuant to the Prior Note, Koala made available to us a revolving loan facility of up to $10 million in aggregate principal amount. Borrowings under the Prior Note bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points, per annum, and 3.75%, per annum. The Prior Note also included a fee of 0.25%, per annum, on undrawn amounts and matured on the earliest of (i) December 31, 2017, (ii) the date on which any financing transaction, whether debt or equity, was consummated by us (or our successors and assigns) with net proceeds in an amount equal to or greater than $10 million, and (iii) at our option, a date selected by us that was earlier than December 31, 2017. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Note, we could repay all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the Prior Note at any time without premium or penalty, and any amounts so repaid would, until the maturity date, be available for re-borrowing. As collateral for the Prior Note, we pledged and granted to Koala a lien on our limited liability company interest in Voltari Real Estate Holding LLC (“Voltari Holding”) As of March 29, 2017, borrowings on this facility totaled $5.0 million.
 
On March 29, 2017, we and Koala, amended and restated the Prior Note (the “Amended Note”). Pursuant to the Amended Note, Koala made available to the Company a revolving loan facility of up to $30 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Commitment”). The Company may, by written notice to Koala, request that the Commitment be increased (the “Increased Commitment”), provided that the aggregate amount of all borrowings, plus availability under the aggregate Increased Commitment, shall not exceed $80 million. Koala has no obligation to provide any Increased Commitment and may refuse to do so in its sole discretion. The Amended Note provides that the net proceeds thereunder in excess of $10 million will be used by the Company for the acquisition, improvement, development, modification, alteration, repair, maintenance, financing or leasing of real property, including any fees and expenses associated with such activities. Borrowings under the Amended Note will bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Note) plus 200 basis points, per annum, subject to a maximum rate of interest of 3.75%, per annum. The Amended Note matures on the earliest of (i) December 31, 2020, (ii) the date on which any financing transaction, whether debt or equity, is consummated by the Company (or its successors and assigns) with net proceeds in an amount equal to or greater than $30 million, and (iii) at the Company’s option, a date selected by the Company that is earlier than December 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Amended Note also allows the Company to, upon written notice to Koala not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, request that Koala extend the Maturity Date to December 31, 2022. Koala may, in its sole discretion, agree to extend the Maturity Date by providing written notice to the Company on or before the date that is 20 days prior to the Maturity Date.
 
If an event of default (as defined in the Amended Note) exists, the Amended Note will bear interest at a default rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR Rate plus 300 basis points, per annum, or 4.5%, per annum. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Note, the Company may repay all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the Amended Note at any time without premium or penalty. The amounts available under the Commitment or Increased Commitment, as the case may be, will increase and decrease in direct proportion to repayments and reborrowings under the Amended Note, respectively, from time to time. As collateral for the Amended Note, the Company has pledged and granted to Koala a lien on the Company’s limited liability company interest in Voltari Holding.
 
As of March 31, 2017, borrowings under the Amended Note equaled $5.0 million. The outstanding balance, including interest of $0.2 million, totaled $5.2 million.
 
6. Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
Upon completion of our rights offering in October 2012, we issued 1,199,643 shares of Series J preferred stock and warrants to acquire 1,014,982 common shares in exchange for approximately $30 million in cash proceeds. Net proceeds from the rights offering of approximately $27.8 million were allocated between Series J preferred stock and common stock warrants based on their estimated relative fair market values at the date of issuance as determined by management with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist. The portion of the net proceeds from the rights offering attributable to the Series J preferred stock was determined to be approximately $26.4 million and is included in Redeemable preferred stock on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Our Series J preferred stock contains certain redemption features and is classified as mezzanine equity at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 since the shares are (i) redeemable at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain events and (ii) have conditions for redemption which are not solely within our control. Our Series J preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the holder if the Company undergoes a change in control, which includes a person becoming a beneficial owner of securities representing at least 50% of the voting power of our company, a sale of substantially all of our assets, and certain business combinations and mergers which cause a change in 20% or more of the voting power of our company, and if we experience an ownership change (within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), which results in a substantial limitation on our ability to use our net operating losses and related tax benefits. In the event that a redemption event were to occur, currently the Company would be precluded, under the terms of the Series J preferred stock and applicable Delaware law, from making any material redemptions.
 
The difference between the carrying value of the Series J preferred stock and its liquidation value is being accreted over an anticipated redemption period of five years using the effective interest method. The shares of Series J preferred stock have limited voting rights and are not convertible into shares of our common stock or any other series or class of our capital stock.
 
Holders of the Series J preferred stock are entitled to an annual dividend of 13% (adjusting to 14% on October 12, 2017), which is payable in-cash or in-kind at our discretion, on a quarterly basis. To date, we have elected to pay all quarterly dividend payments on our Series J preferred stock, in the cumulative amount of $21.1 million, in-kind rather than in-cash. Accordingly, we have increased the carrying value of our redeemable preferred stock for the amount of the paid-in-kind dividend payments. Dividends on the Series J preferred stock and the accretion increase the amount of net loss that is attributable to common stockholders and are presented as separate amounts on the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Our Series J preferred stock has a preference upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company in respect of assets available for distribution to stockholders. The liquidation preference of the Series J preferred stock is initially $25 per share. If the dividend on the Series J preferred stock is paid in-kind, which has been the case to date, the liquidation preference is adjusted and increased quarterly (i) until October 11, 2017, by an amount equal to 3.25% of the liquidation preference per share, as in effect at such time and (ii) thereafter by an amount equal to 3.5% of the liquidation preference per share, as in effect at such time. The quarterly accretion will continue until the shares are redeemed, or until the Company's affairs are liquidated, dissolved or wound-up.
 
As of March 31, 2017, our Series J preferred stock had an aggregate redemption value of approximately $52.0 million, including paid-in-kind dividends of $21.1 million and accrued dividends of $1.6 million. We recorded accretion associated with our Series J preferred stock of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
In connection with the closing of our rights offering on March 30, 2015 (See Note 7 - Rights Offering), entities affiliated with Mr. Carl C. Icahn, our largest shareholder, became the owner of approximately 52.3% of our common stock, which resulted in a change of control of the Company. This constituted a redemption event pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Series J preferred stock, and as a result each holder of shares of Series J preferred stock had the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of such holder’s shares of Series J preferred stock. Entities affiliated with Mr. Carl C. Icahn waived their option to redeem Series J preferred stock in connection with the change in control resulting from the completion of the rights offering that closed on March 30, 2015. On April 13, 2015, we redeemed 29,316 shares of Series J preferred stock for approximately $1.0 million in cash from holders not affiliated with Mr. Carl C. Icahn. Following the April 13, 2015 redemption of Series J preferred stock, entities affiliated with Mr. Carl C. Icahn became the owner of approximately 97.9% of our Series J preferred stock.

7. Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal needs for liquidity since we began executing our transformation plan in August, 2015, have been to fund operating losses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, restructuring expenses, acquisitions and integration and debt service. Our principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2017 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million, and our ability to borrow on our Amended Note . See Note 5, Revolving Note .
 
In light of the above, the consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders includes the effects of any warrants, options and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. For the periods presented, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding, therefore basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders are equal. The following table presents the outstanding antidilutive securities excluded from the calculation of net loss per share attributable to common stockholders:

Transformation Plan
 
In August 2015, we committed to and began implementing a transformation plan pursuant to which, among other things, we exited our mobile marketing and advertising business and entered into the business of acquiring, financing and leasing commercial real estate properties.  The Company leases and intends to continue to lease such properties pursuant to so-called “double net” or “triple net” leases.  The Company has significantly reduced its workforce in connection with its transformation plan. Further, in order to continue to grow our real estate portfolio in a manner designed to, over time, help us generate profits, we may pursue higher valued properties than the properties we currently own. We anticipate that any such higher valued properties would likely generate relatively higher rental income, and would likely involve higher acquisition costs and may involve higher costs of maintenance. There can be no assurance that we will invest in additional real estate properties, including any such higher valued properties, on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
 
Any future acquisitions are intended to be initially financed through borrowings available under our Amended Note (as defined herein) with Koala Holding LP (“Koala”) which, among other things, allows us increased borrowing capacity that we believe will provide us with the flexibility to acquire such higher valued properties.
 
Real Property Acquisitions —In connection with the execution of our transformation plan, on September 17, 2015, we acquired a real estate parcel in Long Branch, New Jersey. The property is subject to a triple net lease with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), the original term of which expires in June, 2020 (with two, five-year renewal options), pursuant to which Chase is responsible for the payment of basic rent as well as the payment of real estate taxes, maintenance costs, utilities, tenant's insurance and other property related costs. Refer to http://investor.shareholder.com/jpmorganchase/sec.cfm for the financial statements of the tenant.
 
The purchase price was approximately $3.63 million and average annual rental income for the property over the remaining term of the original lease is approximately $203,000.
 
On May 18, 2016, we acquired a real estate parcel in Flanders, New York. The property is subject to a lease with 7-Eleven, Inc. (“7-Eleven”), the original term (the “Original Term”) of which expires in December 2029 (with four, five-year renewal options (the “Renewal Term,” and together with the Original Term, the “Term”)). During the Term, 7-Eleven is responsible for the payment of basic rent, as well as the payment of, subject to certain exceptions, real estate taxes, utilities, tenant’s insurance and other property related costs. The landlord is responsible for certain maintenance and repair costs. The purchase price was approximately $2.82 million and the average annual rental income for the property over the remaining Original Term is approximately $162,000.
 
Recent Developments
 
OTCQB Marketplace — On December 14, 2016, we received written notification from The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC indicating that our common stock would be suspended from trading on The NASDAQ Capital Market effective with the opening of business on December 23, 2016. Since December 23, 2016, our common stock has been quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol “VLTC.”
 
Results of Operations
 
Our continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 consist of revenues and expense related to commercial real estate operations which commenced in August 2015, as well as general and administrative costs. Continuing operations includes all personnel and facilities costs related to executive management, finance and accounting, human resources and other general corporate staff, as well as all legal and other professional fees, insurance and other costs not directly attributable to the mobile marketing and advertising business or our other discontinued operations.
 
Total revenue
 
We commenced commercial real estate operations in August 2015. Revenue from continuing operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2017 consists of rental income from properties acquired on September 17, 2015 and May 18, 2016.   Revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 consists of rental income from property acquired on September 17, 2015.

Results of operations for our mobile marketing and advertising business, which terminated in August 2015, are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Results from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 also reflect residual charges related to operations discontinued in 2014 and prior years. See Note 4 - Discontinued Operations to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, discontinued operations reflected no net loss compared to a net loss of $45 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016. This change in results from discontinued operations is due primarily to a $45 thousand decrease in network operations expense, resulting from closing our Seattle datacenter in the first quarter of 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
General
 
Our principal needs for liquidity since we began executing our transformation plan in August, 2015, have been to fund operating losses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, restructuring expenses, acquisitions and integration. Our principal sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2017 consists of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.6 million and our ability to borrow on our Koala loan .
 
On August 7, 2015, we, as borrower, and Koala Holding LP (“Koala”), as lender, an affiliate of Carl C. Icahn, our controlling stockholder, entered into a revolving note (the “Prior Note”). Pursuant to the Prior Note, Koala made available to us a revolving loan facility of up to $10 million in aggregate principal amount. Borrowings under the Prior Note bore interest at a rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points, per annum, and 3.75%, per annum. The Prior Note also included a fee of 0.25%, per annum, on undrawn amounts and matured on the earliest of (i) December 31, 2017, (ii) the date on which any financing transaction, whether debt or equity, was consummated by us (or our successors and assigns) with net proceeds in an amount equal to or greater than $10 million, and (iii) at our option, a date selected by us that was earlier than December 31, 2017. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Note, we could repay all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the Prior Note at any time without premium or penalty, and any amounts so repaid would, until the maturity date, be available for re-borrowing. As collateral for the Prior Note, we pledged and granted to Koala a lien on our limited liability company interest in Voltari Real Estate Holding LLC (“Voltari Holding”).
 
As of March 29, 2017, borrowings from this facility totaled $5.0 million due to borrowings in connection with our second real estate acquisition as well as for working capital requirements.
 
On March 29, 2017, we and Koala, amended and restated the Prior Note (the “Amended Note”). Pursuant to the Amended Note, Koala made available to the Company a revolving loan facility of up to $30 million in aggregate principal amount (the “Commitment”). The Company may, by written notice to Koala, request that the Commitment be increased (the “Increased Commitment”), provided that the aggregate amount of all borrowings, plus availability under the aggregate Increased Commitment, shall not exceed $80 million. Koala has no obligation to provide any Increased Commitment and may refuse to do so in its sole discretion. The Amended Note provides that the net proceeds thereunder in excess of $10 million will be used by the Company for the acquisition, improvement, development, modification, alteration, repair, maintenance, financing or leasing of real property, including any fees and expenses associated with such activities. Borrowings under the Amended Note will bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Amended Note) plus 200 basis points, per annum, subject to a maximum rate of interest of 3.75%, per annum. The Amended Note matures on the earliest of (i) December 31, 2020, (ii) the date on which any financing transaction, whether debt or equity, is consummated by the Company (or its successors and assigns) with net proceeds in an amount equal to or greater than $30 million, and (iii) at the Company’s option, a date selected by the Company that is earlier than December 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”). The Amended Note also allows the Company to, upon written notice to Koala not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, request that Koala extend the Maturity Date to December 31, 2022. Koala may, in its sole discretion, agree to extend the Maturity Date by providing written notice to the Company on or before the date that is 20 days prior to the Maturity Date. If an event of default (as defined in the Amended Note) exists, the Amended Note will bear interest at a default rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR Rate plus 300 basis points, per annum, or 4.5%, per annum. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Note, the Company may repay all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the Amended Note at any time without premium or penalty. The amounts available under the Commitment or Increased Commitment, as the case may be, will increase and decrease in direct proportion to repayments and reborrowings under the Amended Note, respectively, from time to time. As collateral for the Amended Note, the Company has pledged and granted to Koala a lien on the Company’s limited liability company interest in Voltari Holding.
 
As of March 31, 2017, borrowings from this facility totaled $5.0 million due to borrowings in connection with our second real
estate acquisition as well as for working capital requirements.
 
To the extent we are unable to replace or refinance the Amended Note prior to its maturity we may not have sufficient capital resources to repay any amounts borrowed thereunder. There can be no assurance that we will be able to replace or refinance the Amended Note on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

In August, 2015, we began implementing a transformation plan pursuant to which, among other things, we exited our mobile marketing and advertising business and entered into the business of acquiring, financing and leasing commercial real properties. We expect that the acquisition of commercial real properties, the cost of operations and working capital requirements will be our principal need for liquidity in the future. Our cash flows may be affected by many factors including the economic environment, competitive conditions in the commercial real estate industry and the success of our transformation plan. We believe we will have adequate resources to fund our operations, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months using borrowings available under the Amended Note and our cash and cash equivalents on hand. We currently intend to leverage real properties that we may acquire, but cannot assure that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
 
Our liquidity may be adversely affected if, and to the extent that, our remaining Series J preferred stock becomes redeemable. The Company believes that, if a redemption event were to occur, limited, if any, funds would be available for such redemption under the terms of the Series J preferred stock and applicable Delaware law.  As a result, in the event that a redemption event were to occur, the Company currently expects that it would be precluded, under the terms of the Series J preferred stock and applicable Delaware law, from making any material redemptions.
 
Our ability to achieve our business and cash flow plans is based on a number of assumptions which involve significant judgments and estimates of future performance, borrowing capacity and credit and equity finance availability, which cannot at all times be assured. Accordingly, we cannot assure that cash flows from operations and other internal and external sources of liquidity will at all times be sufficient for our cash requirements. If necessary, we may need to consider actions and steps to improve our cash position and mitigate any potential liquidity shortfall, such as modifying our business plan, pursuing additional financing to the extent available, pursuing and evaluating other alternatives and opportunities to obtain additional sources of liquidity and other potential actions to reduce costs. We cannot assure that any of these actions would be successful, sufficient or available on favorable terms. Any inability to generate or obtain sufficient levels of liquidity to meet our cash requirements at the level and times needed could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial position.
  
Our ability to obtain any additional financing depends upon many factors, including our then existing level of indebtedness (if any) and restrictions in any debt facilities we may establish in the future, historical business performance, financial projections, prospects and creditworthiness and external economic conditions and general liquidity in the credit and capital markets. Any financing (or subsequent refinancing) could also be extended only at costs and require us to satisfy restrictive covenants, which could further limit or restrict our business and results of operations, or be dilutive to our stockholders.
 
Cash flows
As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increase reflects cash provided by financing activities of $0.5 million, offset by cash used in operating activities.
 
Net cash used in operating activities
The change in our operating assets and liabilities was driven by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $99 thousand, an increase in other assets of $4 thousand, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $63 thousand, and a decrease in deferred rent expense of $2 thousand.
 
Net cash from investing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, no net cash was used in investing activities. Net cash provided by investing activities - discontinued operations consisted of proceeds from disposition of fixed assets of less than $3 thousand.
 
Net cash from financing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, cash in the amount of $0.5 million was provided by borrowings on the Amended Note.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and in certain cases the difference may be material. Our critical accounting policies and estimates include those involved in recognition of revenue, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset, accounting for our redeemable preferred stock, litigation and other loss contingencies. Estimates related to the allocated cost of investments in real estate among land, other tangible and intangible assets affect future depreciation and amortization expense as well as the amount of reported assets.
 
As a result of our entry into the business of acquiring, financing and leasing commercial real properties, we have adopted the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q .
