flows. In addition, the change in restricted cash is reported within cash when
reconciling between beginning and ending amounts in the statements of cash
flows. U nder the federal income tax basis, security deposits cash activity is

Note 9 Payments in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) Program/Due to BBPDC (Continued)
Instead, the Ground Lease includes a payment in lieu of taxes (“PILOT”) program,
requiring the Ground Lease lessee (the Condominium) to make payments to the

as determined by the BBPDC and subsequently remits payment to the BBPDC. Unit
