Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding our financial statements and the reasons for changes in certain key components of our financial statements from period to period. This item also provides our perspective on our financial position and liquidity, as well as certain other factors that may affect our future results. The discussion also breaks down the financial results of our business by segment to provide a better understanding of how these segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the 2020 Annual Report and subsequent reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Refer to Item 1 of the 2020 Annual Report for a description of our business.



Significant Developments

COVID-19

We continue to actively engage in discussions with our tenants regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their business operations, liquidity, and financial position. Through the date of this Report, we received from tenants approximately 99% of contractual base rent that was due during the second quarter of 2021 (based on contractual minimum annualized base rent ("ABR") as of March 31, 2021). Given the ongoing uncertainty around the duration and severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact it will have on our tenants' continued ability to pay rent. Therefore, information provided in this Report regarding recent rent collections should not serve as an indication of expected future rent collections.
