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 through its wholly owned subsidiary, Voltari Real Estate Holding LLC (“Voltari Holding”). 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. The majority of the costs related to the transformation plan had been incurred as of the end of 2017. Additional amounts to be incurred subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2017, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2018, we owned three commercial real properties. All of our revenue is derived from the rental income we receive under the three leases associated with these three properties. We have been funding our operations with borrowings under our Amended Note (as defined herein) as described in Note 4 - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
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, 2017 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, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current period.
 
The preparation of the 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 allocating the costs of real estate investments, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets, provision for income taxes, and accounting for our redeemable preferred stock. 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.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18, " Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ", which requires restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As a result of the adoption, Other assets were reduced by $91 thousand and Restricted cash was increased for the same amount as of June 30, 2017.
 
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company's restricted cash consists of a security deposit for our office operating lease for our former headquarters, our credit card and the security deposit held on behalf of a tenant.

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, 2017, except for the standards adopted this period.
 
Investments in real estate are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are 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 is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 43 years for buildings, up to 13 years for improvements and the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease term for tenant improvements and leasehold interests. Capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Capitalized below-market lease values are 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, are amortized to expense over the remaining periods of the respective leases.
 
The Company’s revenues are derived from rental income, which include rents due in accordance with the lease terms, reported on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the leases. Our leases with our tenants are classified as operating leases.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 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. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. Currently, all revenues are derived from lease contracts which are not within the scope of this guidance.
 
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash ". The guidance requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and have adjusted our cash flows to reflect the new guidance.

(unaudited)
 
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. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. Under the new standard, transaction costs will be capitalized under asset acquisitions and expensed for business combinations and transactions that will be considered asset acquisitions will not be afforded the one-year measurement period to complete any valuation studies and resulting purchase price allocation. For our purchase of the McClatchy property we capitalized $271 thousand of such transaction costs.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." The guidance significantly changes the accounting for leases by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases greater than 12 months on their balance sheet. The lessor model stays substantially the same; however, there were modifications to, conform lessor accounting with the lessee model, eliminate real estate specific guidance, further define certain lease and non-lease components, and change the definition of initial direct costs of leases by requiring significantly more leasing related costs to be expensed upfront. ASU 2016-02 is effective as of January 1, 2019, and we are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
 In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “ Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” , which amends FASB ASC Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. This ASU allows a reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and consequently, eliminates the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including the Emerging Issues Task Force) and the SEC did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
3. Real Estate Investments
 
On April 23, 2018, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Voltari Real Estate Holding LLC ("Voltari Holdings"), completed the acquisition of a real estate parcel in Columbia, South Carolina. Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, between Voltari Holdings and the State Media Company, (the "Seller"), dated January 19, 2018, as amended, for a purchase price of approximately $16.89 million, inclusive of all costs. The purchase price was paid using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving loan facility with Koala Holding LP ("Koala"), an affiliate of Mr. Carl C. Icahn, the Company’s controlling stockholder.
 
The property (the "McClatchy Property") is subject to a triple net lease (the "lease") with the McClatchy Company ("McClatchy"), an affiliate of the seller. The Lease has an initial term of fifteen years, with three five-year extension options (collectively, the “Term”). During the Term, in addition to rent, McClatchy is responsible for the payment of all real estate taxes, utilities, tenant’s insurance and other property related costs, and the maintenance of the McClatchy Property and its premises. Refer to http://investors.mcclatchy.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=87841&p=irol-sec for the financial statements of the tenant. The initial average annual rental receipts for the McClatchy Property will be approximately $1,613,000 (the “Base Rent”). On each of the fifth (5th) and tenth (10th) anniversaries of the commencement date of the Lease, the Base Rent will be increased by ten percent (10%) above the then current Base Rent.

4.   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 June 30, 2018 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $0.3 million, and our ability to borrow on our Amended Note (as defined below). As of June 30, 2018, there is $7.0 million remaining available under our Amended Note, of which we can borrow up to $4.0 million for working capital purposes.
 
5. Revolving Note
 
On August 7, 2015, we, as borrower, and Koala Holdings LP, as lender, an affiliate of Mr. Carl C. Icahn, the Company’s controlling stockholder (“Koala”), entered into a $10 million revolving loan facility (the “Prior Note”) at a rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points, per annum, and 3.75%, per annum, plus a fee of 0.25% per annum on undrawn amounts. The Company sought and received the Prior Note to, in part, allay potential concerns regarding the Company’s ability to invest in and execute its transformation plan while retaining cash levels sufficient to fund its ongoing operations. There were no limitations on the use of proceeds under the Prior Note. As collateral for the Prior Note, we pledged and granted to Koala a lien on our limited liability company interest in Voltari Holding.
 
On March 29, 2017, we as borrower, and Koala, as lender, entered into a revolving note (the “Amended Note”), which amended and restated the Prior Note. 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. 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. 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, payable at maturity. 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 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 June 30, 2018, borrowings from this loan facility totaled $23.0 million. The outstanding balance, including accumulated interest of $0.6 million, totaled $23.6 million as of June 30, 2018.
 
In light of the above, the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. Therefore, the accompanying condensed 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.

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
 
Our Series J preferred stock contains certain redemption features and is classified as mezzanine equity at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 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 was 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 was being accreted over an anticipated redemption period of five years using the effective interest method and was fully accreted as of September 30, 2017. 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 14% (13% through December 31, 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 $29.9 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 condensed 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 June 30, 2018, our Series J preferred stock had an aggregate redemption value of approximately $61.3 million, including paid-in-kind dividends of $29.9 million and accrued dividends of $2.1 million. We recorded accretion associated with our Series J preferred stock of $0.0 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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. Due to net losses, 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:

Business Overview
 
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. We lease our properties and intend to continue to lease such properties pursuant to so-called “double net” or “triple net” leases. 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 such as the McClatchy Property (as defined herein). 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 be successful in acquiring additional real estate properties, including any such higher valued properties, on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. As a result of the completion of the   McClatchy Property acquisition (as described below), our current monthly rental income has increased to approximately $164,000.
 
Any future acquisitions are intended to be initially financed through borrowings available under our Amended Note (as defined herein) with Koala Holding LP (“Koala”).
 
Real Property Acquisitions — 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. As of June 30, 2018, the average annual rental income for the property over the remaining term of the original lease is approximately $203,000, exclusive of the amortization of the above market lease intangible. 
 
On May 18, 2016, we acquired a real estate parcel in Flanders, New York. The property is subject to a double net 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. As of June 30, 2018, the average annual rental income for the property over the remaining Original Term is approximately $165,000, exclusive of the amortization of the above market lease intangible.
 
On April 23, 2018, we acquired a real estate parcel in Columbia, South Carolina . The property (the "McClatchy Property") is subject to a triple net lease (the “Lease”) with The McClatchy Company (“McClatchy”) , the original term (the “Original Term”) of which is for fifteen years and expires in April 2033 (with three, five-year renewal options (the “Renewal Term,” and together with the Original Term, the “Term”)). During the Term, McClatchy is responsible for the payment of basic rent, as well as the payment of real estate taxes, utilities, tenant’s insurance and other property related costs. The purchase price was approximately $16.89 million inclusive of all costs. Refer to http://investors.mcclatchy.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=87841&p=irol-sec   for the financial statements of the tenant. On each of the fifth (5th) and tenth (10th) anniversaries of the commencement date of the Lease, the Base Rent will be increased by ten percent (10%) above the then current base rent. As of June 30, 2018, the average annual rental income for the McClatchy property over the remaining Original Term is approximately $1,782,000, exclusive of the amortization of the above market lease intangible.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, net loss was $0.3 million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The $0.0 million change resulted from:
 
● 
$0.3 million increase in rental income offset by;
● 
$0.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization;
● 
$0.1 million increase in interest expense.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net loss was $0.8 million, compared to net loss of $.0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The $0.1 million improvement in net loss is primarily due to:
 
● 
$0.3 million increase in rental income;
● 
$0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, offset by;
● 
$0.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization;
● 
$0.1 million increase in interest expense.
 
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 and debt service. Our principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2018 consist of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.3 million, and our ability to borrow on our Koala loan . Subsequent to our latest property purchase we expect that our cash flows generated by our rental income should be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated level of operating expenses.
 
On August 7, 2015, we, as borrower, and Koala, as lender, an affiliate of Mr. Carl C. Icahn, the Company’s controlling stockholder ("Koala"), entered into a $10 million revolving loan facility (the “Prior Note") at a rate equal to the greater of the LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points, per annum, and 3.75%, per annum, plus a fee of 0.25% per annum on undrawn amounts. The Company sought and received the Prior Note to, in part, allay potential concerns regarding the Company’s ability to invest in and execute its transformation plan while retaining cash levels sufficient to fund its ongoing operations. There were no limitations on the use of proceeds under the Prior Note. As collateral for the Prior Note, we pledged and granted to Koala a lien on our limited liability company interest in Voltari Holding.
 
On March 29, 2017, we as borrower, and Koala, as lender, entered into a revolving note (the “Amended Note”), which amended and restated the Prior Note. 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. 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. 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 payable at maturity. 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 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 June 30, 2018, borrowings from this facility totaled $23.0 million due to borrowings in connection with our real estate acquisitions as well as for working capital requirements. After our $500,000 withdrawal to fund operations in the second quarter, there is $4.0 million remaining available for working capital purposes .
 
We expect that the acquisition of future 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 our cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with cash flows generated by our rental income. We also have borrowings available under the Amended Note. 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.
 
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.
 
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 to which we may be subject now or 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) may be costly to obtain 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 June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, we had cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The $0.6 increase reflects:
 
● 
$17.5 million in additional borrowings on the Amend Note offset by;
● 
$16.9 million used for the purchase of real estate;
 
Net cash used in operating activities
 
The change in our operating assets and liabilities was driven by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $138 thousand, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses other liabilities of $188 thousand, offset by an increase in security deposits of $403 as a result of the McClatchy lease, and a decrease in deferred rent expense of $7 thousand.

Net cash from financing activities
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash in the amount of $17.5 million was provided by borrowings on our Amended Note.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, 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.
