The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes, which appear elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the historical consolidated financial
statements, and related notes included elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form
10-K. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements
based upon our current expectations, estimates and assumptions that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks,
uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to, factors discussed
in "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" and "Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than purely
historical information, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These statements include
statements about Highlands' plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance
and outlook, trends, the amount and timing of future cash distributions,
prospects or future events and involve known and unknown risks that are
difficult to predict. As a result, our actual financial results, performance,
achievements or prospects may differ materially from those expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "may," "could," "expect,"
"intend," "plan," "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "guidance,"
"predict," "potential," "continue," "likely," "will," "would," "illustrative"
and variations of these terms and similar expressions, or the negative of these
terms or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily
based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by
Highlands and its management based on their knowledge and understanding of the
business and industry, are inherently uncertain. These statements are not
guarantees of future performance, and stockholders should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks,
uncertainties and other important factors, many of which are beyond our control,
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such
risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: the
uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health
emergencies or fear of such events, such as the novel coronavirus disease 2019
("COVID-19") pandemic; the risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in our
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual
Report on Form 10-K; business, financial and operating risks inherent to real
estate investments and the industry; our ability to renew leases, lease vacant
space, or re-lease space as leases expire; our ability to repay or refinance our
debt as it comes due; difficulty selling or re-leasing our properties due to
their specific characteristics as described elsewhere in this report;
contraction in the global economy or low levels of economic growth; our ability
to sell our assets at a price and on a timeline consistent with our investment
objectives, or at all; our ability to service our debt; changes in interest
rates and operating costs; compliance with regulatory regimes and local laws;
uninsured or underinsured losses, including those relating to natural disasters
or terrorism; domestic or international instability or political or civil
unrest; our status as an emerging growth company; the amount of debt that we
currently have or may incur in the future; provisions in our debt agreements
that may restrict the operation of our business; our separation from InvenTrust
and our ability to operate as a stand-alone public reporting company; our
organizational and governance structure; our status as a REIT; the cost of
compliance with and liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws;
adverse litigation judgments or settlements; changes in real estate and zoning
laws and increase in real property tax rates; changes in federal, state or local
tax law, including legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions
affecting REITs; changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof;
and estimates relating to our ability to make distributions to our stockholders
in the future.
The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S., regional and global
economies and the broader financial markets is currently one of the most
significant factors impacting our Company. The COVID-19 pandemic has also
impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, many of the other important
factors described above. It is difficult to fully assess the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty
regarding the severity, duration and any resurgences of the pandemic
domestically and internationally, including the rise and prevalence of any
variants to the virus, the effectiveness and duration of federal, state and
local governments' efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, and the effect of
the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets where we own and operate properties,
including the effect on our tenants' operations and ability to pay rent.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause
our actual financial results, performance, achievements or prospects to differ
materially from those expressed in or implied by any of our forward-looking
statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm our results.

Overview
We are a self-advised and self-administered real estate investment trust
("REIT") created to own and manage substantially all of the "non-core" assets
previously owned and managed by our former parent, InvenTrust Properties Corp.,
a Maryland corporation ("InvenTrust"). On April 28, 2016, we were spun-off from
InvenTrust through a pro rata distribution (the "Distribution") by InvenTrust of
100% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to holders of InvenTrust's
common stock. Prior to or concurrent with the separation, we and InvenTrust
engaged in certain reorganization transactions that were designed to consolidate
substantially all of InvenTrust's remaining "non-core" assets in Highlands.
This portfolio of "non-core" assets, which were acquired by InvenTrust between
2005 and 2008, included assets that are special use, single tenant or build to
suit; face unresolved legal issues; are in undesirable locations or in weak
markets or submarkets; are aging or functionally obsolete; and/or have
sub-optimal leasing metrics. A number of our assets are retail properties
located in tertiary markets, which are particularly susceptible to the negative
trends affecting retail real estate, including the severe effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of these characteristics, such assets are
difficult to lease, finance and refinance and are relatively illiquid compared
to other types of real estate assets. These factors also significantly limit our
asset disposition options, impact the timing of such dispositions and restrict
the viable options available to the Company for a future potential liquidity
option.
Our strategy is focused on preserving, protecting and maximizing the total value
of our portfolio with the long-term objective of providing stockholders with a
return of their investment. We engage in rigorous asset management, and seek to
sustain and enhance our portfolio, and improve the quality and income-producing
ability of our portfolio, by engaging in selective dispositions, acquisitions,
capital expenditures, financing, refinancing and enhanced leasing. We are also
focused on cost containment efforts across our portfolio, improving our overall
capital structure and making select investments in our existing "non-core"
assets to maximize their value. To the extent we are able to generate cash flows
from operations or dispositions of assets, in addition to the cash uses outlined
above, our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of
the Company to seek to reinvest in assets that are more likely to generate more
reliable and stable cash flows, such as multi-family assets, as part of the
Company's overall strategy to optimize the value of the portfolio, enhance our
options for a future potential liquidity option and maximize shareholder value.
Given the nature and quality of the "non-core" assets in our portfolio as well
as current market conditions, a definitive timeline for execution of our
strategy cannot be made. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business has
disrupted our efforts to implement a liquidity option and, although we cannot
predict when circumstances will improve, we will continue to evaluate options to
implement a liquidity option during 2022. However, we may be unable to execute
on such a transaction on terms we would find attractive for our stockholders and
our ability to do so will be influenced by external and macroeconomic factors,
including, among others, the effects and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and
future resurgences, the timing and nature of recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic,
interest rate movements, local, regional, national and global economic
performance, government policy changes and competitive factors.
As of September 30, 2021, our portfolio of assets consisted of one office
asset, two industrial assets, four retail assets, twelve multi-family
assets, one correctional facility and one parcel of unimproved land. We
currently have four business segments, consisting of (i) net lease, (ii) retail,
(iii) multi-tenant office and (iv) multi-family. Our unimproved land asset is
presented in "other." We may have additional or fewer segments in the future to
the extent we enter into additional real property sectors, dispose of
properties, or change the character of our assets. For the complete presentation
of our reportable segments, see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
accounts of the Company. Highlands consolidates its wholly-owned subsidiaries
and any other entities which it controls (i) through voting rights or similar
rights or (ii) by means other than voting rights if Highlands is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The portions of the equity
and net income of consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable to the
Company are presented separately as amounts attributable to non-controlling
interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Entities which
Highlands does not control and entities which are VIEs in which Highlands is not
a primary beneficiary, if any, are accounted for under

                                       25

appropriate GAAP. Highlands' subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability
companies ("LLCs"). The effects of all significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.

Critical accounting policies are described in "Item 7. Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in the "Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements" for the year ended December 31, 2020
contained in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any new accounting
policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new
accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the "Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The
application of critical accounting policies may require management to make
assumptions, judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all
available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different
amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
Our Revenues and Expenses
Revenues
Our revenues are primarily derived from rental income and expense recoveries we
receive from our tenants under leases with us, including monthly rent and other
property income pursuant to tenant leases. Tenant recovery income primarily
consists of reimbursements for real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs,
management fees and insurance costs.
Expenses
Our expenses consist of property operating expenses, real estate taxes,
depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative expenses.
Property operating expenses primarily consist of repair and maintenance,
management fees, utilities and insurance (in each case, some of which are
recoverable from the tenant).
Key Indicators of Operating Performance
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management
focuses on the following financial and non-financial indicators, discussed in
further detail herein:
•Cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP;
•Economic and physical occupancy and rental rates;
•Leasing activity and lease rollover;
•Management of operating expenses;
•Management of general and administrative expenses;
•Debt maturities and leverage ratios;
•Liquidity levels;
•Funds From Operations ("FFO"), a supplemental non-GAAP measure; and
•Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO"), a supplemental non-GAAP measure.
See "Selected Financial Data" for further discussion of the Company's use,
definitions and limitations of FFO and AFFO.
Impact of COVID-19

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially changed from the
information included in our Annual Report and other periodic or current reports
on file with the SEC. The primary impact of the pandemic was and continues to be
related to our tenants' ability to make their future rental payments in a timely
fashion or at all. We have been working with our tenants to collect rental
payments that are commensurate to our contractual rights under our lease
agreements.

At this time, given the uncertainty related to variants of the virus, we are
unable to predict whether cases of COVID-19 in our markets will decrease,
increase, or remain the same, whether the approved COVID-19 vaccines will be
effective against the virus and new variants of the virus, efficiently
distributed in our markets and widely accepted by the public, and whether local
governments will mandate closures of our tenants' businesses or implement other
restrictive measures on their and our operations in the future in response to a
resurgence of the pandemic. We have taken and will continue to consider a number
of measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial
condition.

State Street Cash Trap

The loan documents governing the mortgage encumbering the State Street property
include a "cash trap" provision that is triggered if DICK'S Sporting Goods,
which was an anchor tenant at the State Street property, failed to renew its
lease agreement. During September 2020, we were informed that DICK'S Sporting
Goods will not renew its lease at the State Street property. As a result, we
received notice that the lender under the State Street mortgage exercised its
right to trigger this "cash trap" provision, and, beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2020, all of the revenue from the State Street property which would
otherwise have been available for our use was trapped into a blocked account
controlled by the lender until a substitute lease is approved. If, during that
period, the terms of the loan agreement are not satisfied, those funds will be
swept by the lender in mandatory prepayment of the mortgage. As of the date of
this filing, a replacement tenant has not been identified.

Termination of Credit Agreement
On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company "right-sized" the Credit Agreement by
eliminating the Term Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) previously
available under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the execution of the
Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under the Revolving
Credit Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) to repay all of its obligations
under the Term Loan. Additionally, pursuant to the Third Amendment, the lender
under the Credit Agreement waived the Company's obligation to comply with
certain financial covenants for the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31,
2020 (the "Waiver Period") and restricted the Company from drawing on the
Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20.0 million until the Company is
in compliance with all such covenants. On January 21, 2021, the Company repaid
$5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan
and on March 29, 2021, repaid in full all of the remaining outstanding
indebtedness consisting of approximately $15.0 million of principal plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon. The Credit Agreement and related security
interests, and all commitments thereunder, were terminated in conjunction with
such payment in full.
Acquisition and Disposition Activity
There were no asset acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30,
2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company acquired one
multi-family asset for a gross acquisition price of $7.4 million.
                                                                      Acquisition Price

There were no asset dispositions during the nine months ended September 30,
2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consistent with our
strategy of disposing of legacy "non-core" assets, we sold the following
property:
                                                                                                                           (in thousands)

Results of Operations Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 Key performance indicators are as follows:


                               As of September 30,
                               2021            2020
Economic occupancy (a)           72.9  %       72.5  %
Rent per square foot (b)   $    15.80       $ 14.52


(a)Economic occupancy is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area
for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of its lease
agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by the tenant of the area
being leased. Actual use may be less than economic square footage.

                                       27

(b)Rent per square foot is computed as annualized rent divided by the total
occupied square footage at the end of the period. Annualized rent is computed as
revenue for the last month of the period multiplied by twelve months. Annualized
rent includes the effect of rent abatements, lease inducements and straight-line
rent GAAP adjustments.

Net loss decreased $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021,
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, due to an increase in
total revenues and lower total compensation expenses, reduced property operating
expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses and interest expense. Details
of these changes are provided below.
Net loss decreased by $4.1 million, to $8.5 million, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, compared to $12.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of reduced general and administrative,
property operating and depreciation and amortization expenses. Partially
offsetting this decrease in expenses is a decrease in revenues resulting from
the termination of the lease with The GEO Group, Inc. ("GEO") on the Hudson
correctional facility asset and termination of the lease with Alta Devices, Inc.
("Alta") at the Trimble office asset in the first fiscal quarter of 2020.
Further details of the changes are provided below.

Total Revenues
Total revenues increased $0.5 million during the three months ended September
30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, due to
commencement of rental income on the Northwestern Medical lease at Sherman Plaza
upon its 2021 lease commencement date and increased occupancy at our
multi-family assets.
Total revenues decreased by $0.5 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to the termination of the leases
with GEO at the correctional facility and Alta at our Trimble office asset,
which both occurred in early 2020. Partially offsetting the decrease in revenue
are fewer pandemic-related concessions and the items noted above for the three
month periods.

Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, due
to lower bad debt expense caused by partial recovery from the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Property operating expenses decreased $0.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to the factors
described above, partially offset by increased repair and maintenance projects
postponed from 2020.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes remained consistent for the three months ended September 30,
2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Real estate taxes increased $0.4 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to an
adjustment made in 2020 to adjust down our estimate of taxes upon receiving the
actual tax bill for our Cook Country, Illinois properties, partially offset by
the sale of the bank branch asset in the first quarter of 2020. No such
adjustment was required during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, due to
the reduction in carrying value of the Hudson correctional facility asset driven
by a full asset impairment recognized during the fourth quarter of 2020 and
reduced amortization on in-place leases for certain multi-family assets being
fully amortized during 2020.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.7 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, due to the same
factors as described above.
General Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expense decreased $1.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020,
primarily due to reduced compensation expense. The three months ended September
30, 2020 included severance related expenses in accordance with an executive's
employment contract, upon their departure from the Company.
General and administrative expense decreased by $2.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily as a
result of a reduction in total compensation expenses and lower consulting and
legal expenses.

  Interest Income
  Interest income decreased by $0.02 million and $0.2 million during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same
period in 2020, as a result of a reduction in the average cash balances during
the periods.
  Gain on Sale of Investment Properties
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the gain on sale of investment
properties of $0.1 million was attributed to the sale of the bank branch asset.
There were no sales of investment properties during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2021 or during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $0.4 million during the three months ended September
30, 2021 and $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
compared to the same periods in 2020, due to the termination of the Credit
Agreement during March 2021 and to interest charged on lower balances for our
mortgage debt on those loans with monthly amortization requirements.

•proceeds from debt.
In April 2020, the Company executed a lease with Northwestern Medical Group for
approximately 29,000 square feet at our Sherman Plaza asset, replacing Barnes
and Noble, Inc., whose lease was terminated after the signing of this new lease.

The new lease requires a significant amount of landlord work, a tenant allowance
and a broker commission. The total commitment is estimated to be approximately
$3.9 million. As of September 30, 2021, we estimate that remaining costs under
this commitment are approximately $1.7 million.
In February 2021, the Company executed a lease with Veeco Instruments, Inc. for
approximately 97,000 square feet at our Trimble office asset, replacing Alta,
whose lease was terminated in early 2020. The lease requires a significant
tenant allowance and broker commission. The total cost commitment is estimated
to be approximately $9.2 million. As of September 30, 2021, we estimate that
remaining costs under this commitment are approximately $1.7 million.

An anchor tenant at the State Street property, DICK'S Sporting Goods, did not
renew its lease agreement. Pursuant to the mortgage agreement, the lender under
the State Street mortgage exercised its right under a "cash trap" provision,
and, as such, beginning in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, all of our cash
flow from the State Street property which would otherwise have been available
for our use was trapped into a blocked account controlled by the lender until an
approved lease is executed. See also Note 7 (Debt) in the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
We may, from time to time, repurchase our outstanding equity and/or debt
securities, if any, through cash purchases or other transactions. Such
repurchases or transactions, if any, will depend on our liquidity requirements,
contractual restrictions, and other factors. The amounts involved may be
material.

(1)  See below for discussion of the swap agreement entered into with the
mortgage loan obtained in connection with the acquisition of The Locale asset.
The weighted average interest rate reflected is the strike rate.
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, none of our mortgage debt was
recourse to the Company, although we have provided certain customary,
non-recourse carve-out guarantees in connection with obtaining mortgage loans on
certain of our properties.
Our ability to pay off our mortgages when they become due is, in part, dependent
upon our ability either to refinance the related mortgage debt or to sell the
related asset. With respect to each mortgage loan, if the applicable
property-owning subsidiary is unable to refinance or sell the related asset, or
in the event that the estimated asset value is less than the mortgage balance,
the applicable property-owning subsidiary may, if appropriate, satisfy a
mortgage obligation by transferring title of the asset to the lender or
permitting a lender to foreclose.
Volatility in the capital markets could expose us to the risk of not being able
to borrow on terms and conditions acceptable to us for refinancing.
The Company assumed a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $11.1 million,
net of a debt discount of $0.3 million in connection with the acquisition of The
Detroit and Detroit Terraces on January 8, 2019. The contractual rate and terms
of the assumed debt was marked to market as of the acquisition date. According
to the terms of the note agreement, the contractual fixed interest rate is 3.99%
and payments are interest-only through September 30, 2022. The maturity date of
the mortgage loan is on August 31, 2027.
On November 6, 2020, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit
Agreement, pursuant to which the Company "right-sized" the Credit Agreement by
eliminating the Term Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment)

                                       32

previously available under the Credit Agreement. In connection with the
execution of the Third Amendment, the Company borrowed sufficient funds under
the Revolving Credit Loan (as defined in the Third Amendment) to repay all of
its obligations under the Term Loan. Additionally, pursuant to the Third
Amendment, the lender under the Credit Agreement waived the Company's obligation
to comply with certain financial covenants for the period from July 1, 2020 to
December 31, 2020 (the "Waiver Period") and restricted the Company from drawing
on the Revolving Credit Loan in amounts in excess of $20.0 million until the
Company is in compliance with all such covenants. On January 21, 2021, the
Company repaid $5.0 million of the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Credit Loan and on March 29, 2021, repaid in full all of the remaining
outstanding indebtedness consisting of approximately $15.0 million of principal
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Credit Agreement and related
security interests, and all commitments thereunder, were terminated in
conjunction with such payment in full.
The Company obtained a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $18.8 million in
connection with the acquisition of The Locale on August 16, 2019. We entered
into a swap agreement with respect to the loan, effective through August 31,
2023, to swap the variable interest rate to a fixed rate of approximately 3.27%
per annum. The interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate
