                                             Financial Summary

                                             Despite the unexpected challenges and adjustments made throughout the year due to
                                             COVID, New Neighborhoods ended up with a very strong year financially, adding an
                                             additional $1.2 million to our corporate operating reserves for a total balance of
                                             $2.4 million by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

                                             We achieved this through a combination of property management improvements,
                                             applying for and receiving grants (including COVID related funds), successful accounts
                                             receivable collections, implementing additional cost savings measures, and increasing
                                             revenues through numerous other improvements. For example, our Property
                                             Management Team has improved the overall financial performance of every one of our
