Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2026.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions created thereby. For this purpose, any statements made that are not historical or current facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “continue,” “can,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, any statements about the timing and completion of the proposed Merger (as defined below), our plans, strategies, and prospects and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods.
The forward-looking statements included herein represent our management’s current expectations and assumptions based on information available as of the date of this report. These statements involve numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Readers should carefully review these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A., Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item IA,. Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In light of the significant risks and uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking information, which speak only as of the date of this report.
New risks and uncertainties emerge from time-to-time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual future results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation with issued and outstanding stock consisting of 7.375% Series A cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.PA,” and Class C common stock (“Class C Common Stock”), $0.001 par value per share, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.” We currently own and manage single-tenant net-lease properties throughout the United States, which are primarily, but not exclusively, industrial properties. Our focus for future acquisitions is on critical industrial manufacturing properties with long-term leases to tenants that fuel the national economy and strengthen the nation’s supply chains. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the
24
Table of Contents
requirements for qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since December 31, 2019, we have been internally managed.
The Company
We primarily generate revenues by leasing properties to industrial manufacturing tenants pursuant to net leases. As of March 31, 2026, our real estate investment portfolio consisted of 41 properties as further described below. The net book value of our real estate investments as of March 31, 2026 was $449.4 million.
Details of our diversified portfolio of 41 operating properties, including one property held for sale, as of March 31, 2026 are as follows:
• Annual base rent (“ABR”) aggregating $40.1 million, which is calculated based on the next 12 months of contractual monthly base rent as of March 31, 2026;
• 38 industrial properties, which represent approximately 82% of the portfolio (expressed as a percentage of ABR), including one property held for sale, and three non-core properties which represent approximately 18% of the portfolio by ABR;
•Occupancy rate of 99% based on square footage;
• Located in 14 states;
• Leased to 27 different commercial tenants doing business in 12 separate industries;
• Approximately 4.3 million square feet of aggregate leasable space;
• An average leasable space per property of approximately 105,000 square feet (approximately 108,000 square feet per industrial property and approximately 68,000 square feet per non-core property); and
• Outstanding mortgage notes payable balance of $24.0 million for two properties and a credit facility term loan balance of $250.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we acquired the 27.3% remaining TIC interest in the Santa Clara, California property leased to Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc.(the “Santa Clara Property”), giving us 100% ownership and control of the Santa Clara Property, and completed the sale of our vacant industrial property located in Saint Paul, Minnesota for $4.1 million.
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Global Net Lease, Inc.
On May 3, 2026, we and Modiv Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Global Net Lease, Inc. (“GNL”), GNL Motion Merger Sub, LLC (“GNL Merger Sub”), Global Net Lease Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “GNL Operating Partnership”) and GNL Motion OpCo Merger Sub, LLC (“Opco Merger Sub”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Company will merge with and into GNL Merger Sub with GNL Merger Sub being the surviving entity (such merger transaction, the “Company Merger”) and OpCo Merger Sub will merge with and into the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership being the surviving entity (such merger transaction, the “OpCo Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of Class C Common Stock and units of limited partnership interest (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership will have the right to receive 1.975 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GNL (the “GNL Common Stock”) or units of limited partnership interest in the GNL Operating Partnership designated as OP Units (as defined in the agreement of limited partnership of GNL Operating Partnership, “GNL OP Units”), plus the right to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of GNL Common Stock or GNL OP Units, as applicable, and holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to receive $25.00 in cash, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Following the closing of the Merger, our Class C Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by our board of directors. The Merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of our stockholders.
For additional information on the Merger Agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 4, 2026 and Note 12 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Events and Uncertainties
There are continuing significant uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to inflation and interest rates, tariffs, supply chain disruptions and negative impacts associated with foreign policy actions implemented by the United States. Volatility in stock and bond markets, and particularly yields on U.S. Treasury securities, may negatively impact our operating results, liquidity and sources of borrowings.
We, our tenants and operating partners are impacted by inflation and interest rates. While the rate of inflation has declined from historic highs, inflation remains elevated and there is continued uncertainty over the future rate of inflation and interest rates. While the Federal Reserve reduced rates in September, October and December 2025, the Federal Reserve may refrain from reducing interest rates further to try to rein in inflation, which could lead to a recession, and would negatively impact our future operating results due to higher borrowing costs. In addition, sustained elevated inflation rates may negatively impact our longer term leases if contractual rent increases are not sufficient to keep up with market leases.
In January 2026, we entered into three new swap agreements, effective December 31, 2025, for $83.3 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan (as defined below), which will fix the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the year ending December 31, 2026 to 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.15% based on our leverage ratio of 45.1% as of December 31, 2025. We paid aggregate premiums of $2.7 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million, to buy down the fixed rate below the prevailing market rate. The buydown premium is a derivative that is recorded as an asset on our balance sheet and amortized over the 12 months ending December 31, 2026, increasing interest expense by approximately $0.6 million per quarter. We designated these pay-fixed, receive-floating interest

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through the Operating Partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties. We are the sole general partner of, and owned an approximate 81% interest in the Operating Partnership as of both December 31, 2025 and March 20, 2026. The Operating Partnership’s limited partnership interests are further described in Note 11 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We report with the SEC as a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Primary Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are:
•to provide attractive growth in AFFO (as defined below) and sustainable cash distributions;
•to realize appreciation from proactive investment selection and management;
•to provide future opportunities for growth and value creation; and
•to provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to industrial manufacturing real estate.
We expect the trend of onshoring manufacturing to accelerate and we will continue to focus future acquisitions on industrial manufacturing properties, subject to market conditions and the availability of prices that we consider attractive. We can provide no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives. See the Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Recent Events and Uncertainties
There are continuing significant uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to inflation and interest rates, tariffs, supply chain disruptions and negative impacts associated with foreign policy actions implemented by the United States. Volatility in stock and bond markets, and particularly yields on U.S. Treasury securities, may negatively impact our operating results, liquidity and sources of borrowings.
We, our tenants and operating partners are impacted by inflation and interest rates. While the rate of inflation has declined from historic highs, inflation remains elevated and there is continued uncertainty over the future rate of inflation and interest rates. While the Federal Reserve reduced rates in September, October and December 2025, the Federal Reserve may refrain from reducing interest rates further to try to rein in inflation, which could lead to a recession, and would negatively impact our future operating results due to higher borrowing costs. In addition, sustained elevated inflation rates may negatively impact our longer term leases if contractual rent increases are not sufficient to keep up with market leases.

In January 2026, we entered into three new swap agreements, effective December 31, 2025, for $83.3 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan (as defined below), which will fix the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the year ending December 31, 2026 to 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.15% based on our leverage ratio of 45.1% as of December 31, 2025. We paid aggregate premiums of $2.7 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million, to buy down the fixed rate below the prevailing market rate. The buydown premium is a derivative that will be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 and amortized over the 12 months ending December 31, 2026, increasing interest expense by approximately $0.6 million per quarter. We designated these pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, which are expected to be effective through December 31, 2026. The derivatives will be marked to fair value each reporting period with any change in fair value recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income as long as the derivatives are deemed effective.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows . There are no leases scheduled to expire within the next 12 months. We have one lease scheduled to expire in 2027: our property in Charlotte, North Carolina leased to Husqvarna that expires on June 30, 2027.
Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy and rental rates and cause declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. We obtained two lease extensions during 2025, with Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc. extending its lease for ten years from March 17, 2026 to March 16, 2036, and Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation extending its lease for five years from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2031; however, changing circumstances may make future lease extensions more difficult.
The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, Federal Reserve policy, the impacts of increases in tariffs by the U.S. and other countries, market sentiment and regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. Our Credit Facility (as defined below) includes floating interest rates based on SOFR and our leverage ratio as described below. We entered into new swaps for 2026 that fix the rate of our Term Loan for one year. Our mortgages with fixed rates, including the mortgage on the Santa Clara, California property leased to Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc., mature after September 2027. As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into for the year ending December 31, 2026, 100% of our indebtedness has a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.14% as long as our leverage ratio is less than 50%.
Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms, or at all, at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments and refinancings, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by bank borrowings through our Credit Facility (as defined below), mortgage indebtedness on our properties, real estate property sales, internally generated funds or offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock.
Purchases of properties in the near-term will be funded primarily with proceeds from dispositions of certain legacy assets, bank borrowing through our Credit Facility, proceeds from our ATM Offering and cash on hand. We have $30.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility as of March 25, 2026, which we may utilize in the near or medium-term if we identify attractive investment opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity, which could result in temporary increases in leverage.
We expect that our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and distributions on our Class C Common Stock and OP Units will be funded by internally generated funds. We expect to have adequate liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.
ATM Offering
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we sold 212,791 shares of Class C Common Stock in the ATM Offering at an average price of $15.66 per share for proceeds of $3.3 million, net of sale commissions. From November 15, 2023 through December 31, 2025, an aggregate of 819,700 shares have been sold in the ATM Offering at an average price of $15.95 per share for aggregate net proceeds of $11.3 million after legal, accounting, investor relations and other offering costs of $1.4 million. As

Table of Contents
of December 31, 2025, we had $36.9 million of shares of Class C Common Stock available for future issuance under the ATM Offering. No shares of Class C Common Stock were sold in the ATM Offering subsequent to December 31, 2025.
Credit Facility and Mortgages
Our Operating Partnership entered into an agreement for a line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) on January 18, 2022 with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”), with KeyBank acting as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement currently provides a $280.0 million line of credit comprised of a $30.0 million revolving line of credit (“Revolver”), and a $250.0 million term loan (“Term Loan” and together with the Revolver, the “Credit Facility”), as further described in Note 6 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness, and capital expenditures.
On January 16, 2026, we entered into an agreement with the Lenders to amend the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the credit facility eighteen months to July 18, 2028, (ii) remove the 10 basis point SOFR Adjustment and (iii) allow repurchases of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, by amending certain distribution covenants so long as such repurchases are funded by proceeds from the issuance of preferred or common stock or asset sales, in each case, occurring within the trailing twelve month period of such repurchase.
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With our leverage ratio of 45.1% as of December 31, 2025, the spread over SOFR was 175 basis points and the interest rate on the Revolver was 5.4375% as of February 26, 2026. As of March 25, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding on the Revolver. We also pay an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and incurred $0.1 million and $0.4 million of unused fees for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In January 2025, we entered into two swap agreements, effective December 31, 2024, for $125.0 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan, which fixed SOFR for the year ending December 31, 2025 at 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.25%. We paid aggregate premiums of $4.2 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.3 million, to buy down the fixed rate below the prevailing market rate. We designated the two pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges (see Note 7 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). The interest rate on the Term Loan was 5.4875% as of December 31, 2025, which was partially offset by the interest rate swaps.
In January 2026, we entered into three new swap agreements, effective December 31, 2025, for $83.3 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan, which will fix SOFR for the year ending December 31, 2026 to 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.15% based on our leverage ratio of 45.1% as of December 31, 2025. We paid aggregate premiums of $2.7 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million, to buy down the fixed rate below the prevailing market rate. The buydown premium is a derivative that will be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 and amortized over the 12 months ending December 31, 2026, increasing interest expense by approximately $0.6 million per quarter. We designated these pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, which are expected to be effective through December 31, 2026.
As of December 31, 2025 the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage note payable secured by one property was $12.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Term Loan outstanding principal balance was $250.0 million and there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. As of December 31, 2025, our approximate 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable of $12.1 million was $8.8 million, which is not included in our audited consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) that are indirectly owned by us, and various cash collateral owned by the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In connection with the Credit Facility, we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
While we intend for the Credit Facility to be an important source of financing, we may continue to use mortgage debt financing for certain real estate investments and acquisitions. This financing may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time-to-

time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs.
The $30.0 million unused capacity on our Revolver as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, subject to our borrowing base covenant, along with proceeds from any future offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock, can be used to invest in real estate and real estate-related investments or to re-lease and reposition our properties in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, including costs and fees associated with such investments, such as capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs. We also may use a portion of the funds for payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
Compliance with All Debt Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility and our mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties, we and/or our subsidiary borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. We and/or our subsidiary borrowers were in compliance with such financial loan covenants as of December 31, 2025.
Acquisitions and Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
We define “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. We define “weighted average cap rate” for property acquisitions as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property.
Acquisitions
On March 7, 2025, we acquired an industrial property for $6.1 million, consisting of $0.3 million in cash and 344,119 Class C OP Units valued at $5.9 million, based on an estimated fair value of $17.00 per Class C OP Unit. The property with a leasable area of 48,589 square feet is located in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan statistical area and is subject to an existing lease that expires on December 31, 2032, with annual rent escalations based on the consumer price index. The property contains an adjacent land parcel that has the potential to be developed into additional industrial space.
In evaluating the above properties as potential acquisitions, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price to be paid for the properties, we considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the properties, the terms of the existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenants, property location, visibility and access, age of the properties, physical condition and curb appeal, neighboring property uses, local market conditions, including vacancy rates, area demographics, including trade area population and average household income and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions.
Dispositions
On February 26, 2025, we completed the sale of our property that is located in Endicott, New York and is leased to New Vision Industries, LLC, a subsidiary of Producto Holdings LLC (“Producto”), for a sales price of $2.4 million. In connection with this sale, the lease for our property in Jamestown, New York with another Producto subsidiary was amended to increase the base rent by $2,500 per month.
On December 15, 2025, we completed the sale of our office property in Issaquah, Washington formerly leased to Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”) for $26.0 million, which included the sale price of $25.6 million and $0.4 million of extension fees. In conjunction with the sale, we repaid the $18.3 million mortgage note secured by the property and a $0.7 million loan prepayment fee.
We have received $2.0 million of non-refundable deposits under the terms of an amended purchase and sale agreement for our industrial property in Saint Paul, Minnesota and this sale is scheduled to close on March 30, 2026.
We are under contract to sell our industrial property that is leased to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation in Melbourne, Florida during the second quarter of 2026, although there can be no assurances that the transaction will be completed.
Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvements
Other than as discussed below, we do not have plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to our lease agreements, as of December 31, 2025, we had obligations to reimburse $2.0 million for future on-site and tenant improvements expected to be incurred by tenants. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2026 calendar year and will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flow, offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock or borrowings under our Credit Facility.
38
Table of Contents
In addition, we have identified approximately $0.5 million of capital expenditures that are expected to be completed in the next 12 months which are not recoverable from tenants with double-net leases. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand or operating cash flows. More information on our properties and investments can be found in Note 3 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated investments, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred rent, amortization of below/above market lease intangibles, proceeds from the settlement of property-related insurance claims, amortization of deferred financing costs, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, amortization of off-market interest rate derivatives and reduction for accrued interest, and write-offs of due diligence expenses for abandoned pursuits. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance in the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income or loss from operations, net income or loss and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income or loss from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

Property Portfolio Information
Following the issuance of our publicly listed Series A Preferred Stock in September 2021, we began to significantly transform our portfolio in furtherance of our strategic plan to reduce our exposure to office properties and increase our WALT. The following is a summary of how we have transformed the composition of our real estate portfolio over time, resulting in a majority of our ABR produced by industrial properties, including the TIC Interest, as shown and described below .

Since the public listing of our Class C Common Stock in February 2022, we have repositioned the composition of our portfolio toward a primary focus of industrial assets, specifically those supporting domestic manufacturing. The implementation of this recycling incorporated both the reduction of our non-core properties and the active acquisition of industrial manufacturing properties. We have identified certain assets that we plan to recycle over the next two years, including our two office assets and certain legacy industrial assets that have shorter lease durations and do not fit our long-term strategy. We define legacy assets as those that were acquired by different management teams utilizing different investment objectives and underwriting criteria.

(1) Industrial core properties include an approximate 72.7% TIC interest in the Santa Clara, California property. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we acquired the 27.3% remaining TIC interest for $9.6 million, giving us 100% ownership of the property.
(2) Non-core properties include the following:
(i) our non-core acquisition of a leading KIA retail property located in a prime location in Los Angeles County acquired in January 2022, which was structured as an OP Unit transaction resulting in a favorable equity issuance of $32.8 million represented by 1,312,382 Class C OP Units at a cost basis of $25 per share. We repurchased 656,191 of those units and 123,809 shares of Class C Common Stock from an affiliate of the seller at $14.80 per share on August 1, 2024;
(ii) our 12-year lease with OES executed in January 2023 for one of our legacy assets located in Rancho Cordova, California that includes a purchase option which OES may exercise until December 31, 2026; and
(iii) one legacy office property formerly leased to Solar Turbines in San Diego, California, that we expect to sell after we complete a parcel split to maximize its value.

We have one mortgage secured by an industrial core property. The equity of each special purpose subsidiary that owns our other properties is pledged as collateral under our Credit Facility or the properties are unencumbered. See details of mortgage debt in Note 6 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Distributions
The source of cash used to pay our distributions has been and is expected to continue to be internally generated funds from operations.
A table of distributions declared and paid is disclosed in Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Distribution Information.
We expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of each month and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification standards. On November 4, 2024, our board of directors authorized a 1.7% increase in the annual distribution rate from $1.15 per share to $1.17 per share commencing with monthly distributions payable to common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders of record beginning as of January 31, 2025. On January 16, 2026, our board of directors authorized a 2.6% increase in the annual distribution rate from $1.17 per share to $1.20 per share commencing with monthly distributions payable to common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders of record beginning as of January 30, 2026.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 is due to excluding derivative cash settlements received during the year ended December 31, 2025 from cash provided from operating activities since they are included in cash provided by investing activities, as described in Note 2, while derivative cash settlements received during the year ended December 31, 2024 are included in cash provided by operating activities. This decrease was partially offset by reduced general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The increase in net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily reflects (i) net proceeds from the sale of two real estate properties of $27.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net proceeds from the sale of two real estate properties and a land parcel aggregating $15.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, and (ii) a property acquired during the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily for Class C OP Units compared to a property acquisition for $5.2 million of cash during the year ended December 31, 2024. The change also reflects derivative cash settlements of $4.6 million, partially offset by the payment of aggregate premiums of $4.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 to buy down the swaps fixed rate below the prevailing market rate.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily reflects an aggregate of $18.6 million for the repayment of the mortgage note secured by the office property in Issaquah, Washington formerly leased to Costco in conjunction with the property sale and monthly principal payments, the repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock for $7.1 million, and an increase in distributions paid to common stockholders and OP Unit holders during the year ended December 31, 2025, partially offset by the repurchase of Class C Common Stock and Class C OP Units for $11.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2025 to the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Rental Revenue
Rental revenue was $45.8 million and $46.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which included tenant reimbursements of $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The decrease of $0.7 million is primarily due to Costco’s lease expiration on July 31, 2025 and Solar Turbines lease expiration on September 30, 2025.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $5.8 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of $0.5 million, or 8%, was primarily due to our reduced headcount from 12 employees to nine employees in April 2025, our CEO no longer receiving a salary effective April 1, 2025 in connection with his grant of Class X OP Units, which vest over five years, and decreases in professional services and insurance expenses, partially offset by $0.2 million in non-recurring separation pay.
Stock Compensation
Stock compensation expense was $2.9 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.3 million, or 84%, compared to 2024 was due to the Class X OP Units awarded in the first quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025, as described in Note 11 to our accompanying audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Stock compensation expense in 2024 included $1.3 million for our Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units, which vested and automatically converted to Class C OP Units on the last business day of March 2024.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $15.1 million and $16.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The purchase price of properties acquired is allocated to tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, if any, and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. The decrease of $1.5 million, or 9%, period-over-period was primarily due to no longer recognizing depreciation and amortization expense for the real estate investments of our office property in Issaquah, Washington formerly leased to Costco upon classifying the property as held for sale as of December 31, 2024.
Property Expenses
Property expenses remained relatively constant at $3.5 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These expenses primarily relate to property taxes and repairs and maintenance expenses, the majority of which are reimbursed by tenants and included in rental income.
Impairment of real estate investment property
We recorded an impairment charge of $5.8 million related to our property and equipment located in Saint Paul, Minnesota during the year ended December 31, 2025. We determined that an impairment charge was required based on current market conditions and represented the excess of the assets' carrying value over the assets’ estimated sale price less estimated selling costs. No impairment charges were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investments, Net
The gain on sale of real estate investments of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily related to the sale of our office property in Issaquah, Washington formerly leased to Costco. The gain on sale of real estate investments of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the aggregate gain on sale of two properties (one industrial property with a lease expiration at the end of 2024 and one office property).
43
Table of Contents
Other (Expense) Income
Other expense was $15.3 million and $15.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to $0.7 million of proceeds from the settlement of property-related insurance claims received during the year ended December 31, 2025 and an increase of $0.5 million in income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property due to an increase in straight-line rent related to the execution of the lease extension. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of off-market interest rate derivatives of $3.9 million and a $0.7 million prepayment fee incurred upon repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the office property in Issaquah, Washington formerly leased to Costco that was sold during the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was partially offset by the $2.5 million of losses on non-designated or ineffective interest rate derivative instruments for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to swap agreements that were terminated on December 31, 2024. No such losses were recorded during year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was also due to a decrease in the weighted average fixed rate as set by the respective swap agreements in place from 4.53% during the year ended December 31, 2024 to 4.25% during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The policies and estimates discussed below reflect those that management believes are or will be critical in affecting the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates these estimates based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable on an ongoing basis. Additionally, other companies may have utilized different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements of this report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Real Estate Investments
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
In connection with our acquisition of properties, we allocate the purchase price, including transaction costs, to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. Tangible assets consist of land, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets consist of above- and below- market lease values and the value of in-place leases. Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, market land and building values, discount and capitalization rates, and future cash flows. The use of different assumptions could impact the timing of recognition of related revenues and expenses.
Impairment of Investment in Real Estate Properties
We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate properties may not be recoverable. These indicators include, but are not limited to: changes in real estate market conditions, our ability to re-lease properties that are vacant, reclassification of properties to held for sale, and tenants in bankruptcy. Identification of such events may involve certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the real estate properties will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. The undiscounted operating cash flows are based on estimated market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, estimated hold periods, discount rates, and capitalization rates. If, based on the analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate properties, we will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate properties. The use of different assumptions could have a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Also, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation with issued and outstanding stock consisting of Series A Preferred Stock, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.PA,” and Class C Common Stock, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.” We currently own and manage single-tenant net-lease properties throughout the United States, which are primarily, but not exclusively, industrial properties. Our focus for future acquisitions is on critical industrial manufacturing properties with long-term leases to tenants that fuel the national economy and strengthen the nation’s supply chains. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since December 31, 2019, we have been internally managed.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through the Operating Partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties. We are the sole general partner of, and owned an approximate 89% and 83% interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024 and February 28, 2025, respectively. The Operating Partnership’s limited partners are further described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We report with the SEC as a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Primary Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are:
•to provide attractive growth in AFFO (as defined below) and sustainable cash distributions;
•to realize appreciation from proactive investment selection and management;
•to provide future opportunities for growth and value creation; and
•to provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to industrial manufacturing real estate.
We expect the trend of onshoring manufacturing to accelerate and we will continue to focus future acquisitions on industrial manufacturing properties, subject to market conditions and the availability of prices that we consider attractive. We can provide no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives. See the Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Recent Events and Uncertainties
There are continuing significant uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to inflation and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, potential tariffs and negative impacts associated with the violence and unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine and sanctions which have been implemented by the United States and other countries against Russia, China and Iran. Volatility in stock and bond markets and particularly the rapid rise in yields on U.S. Treasury securities during 2023 and 2024 may negatively impact our operating results, liquidity and sources of borrowings.
We, our tenants and operating partners are impacted by inflation and interest rates. While the rate of inflation has declined from historic highs, inflation remains somewhat elevated and there is continued uncertainty over the future rate of inflation. In January 2025, the Federal Reserve maintained the current federal funds rate after reducing rates three times in 2024. The Federal Reserve may continue to refrain from reducing interest rates to try to rein in inflation, which could lead to a recession and will negatively impact our future results due to higher borrowing costs on any future borrowing. In addition, sustained elevated inflation rates may negatively impact our longer term leases if contractual rent increases are not sufficient to keep up with market leases.
On December 31, 2024, the counterparties to the swap agreements exercised their one-time options to cancel the swap agreements (see Note 8 for more details). In January 2025, we entered into two new swap agreements, effective December 31, 2024, for $125.0 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan (as defined
below), which fixed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for the year ending December 31, 2025 to 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.25% based on our leverage ratio of 47.6% as of December 31, 2024. We paid aggregate premiums of $4.2 million to buy down the fixed rate below the prevailing market rate. The buydown premium is a derivative that will be recorded as an asset on our balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 and amortized over the 12 months ending December 31, 2025, increasing interest expense by approximately $1.1 million per quarter. We designated these pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges, which are expected to be effective through December 31, 2025. The derivatives will be marked to fair value each reporting period with any change in fair value being recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income as long as the derivatives are deemed effective.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from office properties. We have two leases expiring in the next 12 months: our office property in Issaquah, Washington leased to Costco, which expires on July 31, 2025 and is under contract to be sold to KB Home, as described in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and our office property in San Diego, California leased to Solar Turbines that also expires on July 31, 2025. We also have two leases scheduled to expire in 2026: our industrial property in Santa Clara, California leased to Fujifilm Dimatix, Inc. that expires on March 16, 2026 and our industrial property in Melbourne, Florida leased to Northrop Grumman that expires on May 31, 2026.
Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy and rental rates and cause declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. We successfully negotiated lease extensions for six properties during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023; however, changing circumstances may make future lease extensions more difficult.
The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, Federal Reserve policy, the impacts of increases in tariffs by the U.S. and other countries, market sentiment and regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. Our Credit Facility (as defined below), includes floating interest rates based on SOFR and our leverage ratio as described below and although our swaps entered into in 2022 were cancelled on December 31, 2024, we entered into new swaps for 2025 which fix the rate of our Term Loan for one year. Our two mortgages with fixed rates do not mature until after September 2027. As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into for the year ending December 31, 2025, 100% of our consolidated indebtedness held a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.27% as long as our leverage ratio is less than 50%.
Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms, or at all, at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments.
37
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments and refinancings, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by bank borrowings through our Credit Facility (as defined below), mortgage indebtedness on our properties, real estate property sales, internally generated funds or offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock.
Purchases of properties in the near-term will be funded primarily with proceeds from dispositions of remaining non-core properties, proceeds from our ATM program and cash on hand. In the future, we expect to sell additional shares of our Class C Common Stock, subject to market conditions and a recovery in the trading price of our Class C Common Stock. We are targeting leverage, over the long-term once we achieve scale, of 40% or lower of the aggregate fair value of our real estate properties plus our cash and cash equivalents; however, we increased our borrowing during 2023 in order to execute attractive acquisition opportunities resulting in leverage of 47.6% as of December 31, 2024. We have $30.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility which we may utilize in the near or medium-term if we identify attractive investment opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity, which could result in temporary increases in leverage.
We expect that our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and distributions on our Class C Common Stock and OP Units will be funded by internally generated funds. We expect to have adequate liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.
ATM Program
On March 30, 2022, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263985), and on May 27, 2022, we filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, to issue and sell from time to time, together or separately, the following securities at an aggregate public offering price that will not exceed $200.0 million: Class C Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units. The Form S-3, as amended, became effective on June 2, 2022 and we filed a prospectus supplement for our at-the-market offering of up to $50.0 million of its Class C Common Stock (the “ATM Offering”) on June 6, 2022 (the “ATM Prospectus”).
On November 13, 2023, we filed Supplement No. 1 to the ATM Prospectus to reflect the Amended and Restated At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated November 13, 2023, and the change in our corporate name. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 521,837 shares were sold at an average price of $16.16 per share and issued for $8.2 million, net of sale commissions of $0.2 million, of which 287,840 shares were sold at an average price of $16.16 per share and issued for $4.5 million, net of sale commissions, during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The resulting net proceeds from the ATM Offering for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $7.7 million after legal, accounting, investor relations and other offering costs of $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had $40.3 million of shares of Class C Common Stock available for future issuance under the ATM Offering.
Credit Facility and Mortgages
Our Operating Partnership entered into an agreement for a line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) on January 18, 2022 with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (the “Lenders”), with KeyBank acting as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement currently provides a $280.0 million line of credit comprised of a $30.0 million revolving line of credit (“Revolver”), and a $250.0 million term loan (“Term Loan” and together with the Revolver, the “Credit Facility”), as further described in Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.
On February 26, 2025, we entered into an agreement with the Lenders to amend the Credit Agreement by (a) extending the maturity of the Revolver to January 18, 2027, which is coterminous with the maturity of the Term Loan, and (b) changing the definition of “Distributions” to exclude any repurchases of our Series A Preferred Stock that are funded by proceeds from the sale of our Class C Common Stock.
38
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With our leverage ratio of 47.6% as of December 31, 2024, the spread over SOFR, including a 10-basis point credit adjustment, is 185 basis points and the interest rate on the Revolver was 6.2250% as of February 28, 2025; however, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. We also pay an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and incurred total unused fees of $0.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. On December 27, 2024, we exercised our right to reduce the Revolver to $30.0 million from $150.0 million in order to reduce annual unused fees to less than $0.1 million.
On May 10, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from May 31, 2022 to January 17, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 2.258% with respect to our original $150.0 million Term Loan. On October 26, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from November 30, 2022 to November 30, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 3.44% with respect to the $100.0 million expansion of our Term Loan. On the December 31, 2024, the counterparties to both swap agreements exercised their one-time options to cancel their respective swap agreements (see Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). In January 2025, we entered into two new swap agreements, for $125.0 million each, for an aggregate of $250.0 million, corresponding to the Term Loan, to fix SOFR for the year ending December 31, 2025 at 2.45%, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.25% effective December 31, 2024, based on our leverage ratio of 47.6% as of December 31, 2024. (see Note 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details).
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable secured by two properties, including one held for sale property, was $30.9 million and $31.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Term Loan outstanding principal balance was $250.0 million and there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. As of December 31, 2024, our approximate 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable of $12.4 million was $9.0 million, which is not included in our consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) that are indirectly owned by us, and various cash collateral owned by the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In connection with the Credit Facility, we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
While we intend for the Credit Facility to be an important source of financing, we may continue to use mortgage debt financing for certain real estate investments and acquisitions. This financing may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time-to-time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs.
The $30.0 million unused capacity on our Revolver as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, subject to our borrowing base covenant, along with proceeds from any future offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock, can be used to invest in real estate and real estate-related investments or to re-lease and reposition our properties in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, including costs and fees associated with such investments, such as capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs. We also may use a portion of the proceeds from our equity offerings for payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
Compliance with All Debt Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility and our two mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties, we and/or our subsidiary borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. We and/or our subsidiary borrowers were in compliance with such financial loan covenants as of December 31, 2024.
Acquisitions and Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
We define “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. We define “weighted average cap rate” for property acquisitions as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property.

Acquisitions
The details of the one property and 12 properties we acquired during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

| Torrent Photonics LLC | Tampa, FL | Industrial | 29,699 | 20 | 2.85 | % | $ | 5,183 | 8.00 | % |
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we acquired 12 industrial manufacturing real estate properties for an aggregate of $129.8 million, including closing costs, at a blended initial cap rate of 7.8% and a weighted average cap rate of 10.3%. These properties are located in Princeton, Savage, Detroit Lakes and Plymouth, Minnesota; Gap and Reading, Pennsylvania; Roscoe, Illinois; Lansing, Michigan; Ashland and Piqua, Ohio; Alleyton, Texas; and Andrews, South Carolina. The properties acquired had a weighted average lease term of approximately 20.6 years upon acquisition.
On or before March 14, 2025, following the completion of our exploration of a potential tenant build-to-suit opportunity, we will acquire an industrial property for $6.1 million, consisting of a $0.25 million cash deposit that has been distributed to the contributor, and at closing, approximately 344,118 Class C OP Units valued at $5.85 million, based on an agreed upon value of $17.00 per Class C OP Unit. The property is located in the Jacksonville, Florida metropolitan statistical area and is subject to an existing lease that expires on December 31, 2032, with annual rent escalations based on the consumer price index. The property contains an adjacent land parcel that has the potential to be developed into additional industrial space. We priced this transaction at an 8.00% initial cap rate based upon a rent increase that will occur on July 1, 2025.
In evaluating the above properties as potential acquisitions, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price to be paid for the properties, we considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the properties, the terms of the existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenants, property location, visibility and access, age of the properties, physical condition and curb appeal, neighboring property uses, local market conditions, including vacancy rates, area demographics, including trade area population and average household income and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions.
Dispositions

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we sold 14 non-core real estate properties (11 retail and three office) comprised of 241,795 square feet for aggregate contract sales prices of $47.5 million, with net proceeds of $44.4 million (net of commissions and closing costs) and a net loss on sales of $1.7 million. See Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details of these dispositions.
On February 26, 2025,we completed the sale of our property that is located in Endicott, New York and is leased to New Vision Industries, LLC, a subsidiary of Producto Holdings LLC (“Producto”) for a sales price of $2.4 million. In connection with this sale, the lease for our property in Jamestown, New York with another Producto subsidiary was amended to increase the base rent by $2,500 per month.

Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvements
Other than as discussed below, we do not have plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to our lease agreements, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had obligations to reimburse $3.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, for future on-site and tenant improvements expected to be incurred by tenants. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2025 calendar year and will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flow, offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock or borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In addition, we have identified approximately $0.5 million of capital expenditures that are expected to be completed in the next 12 months which are not recoverable from tenants with double-net leases. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand or operating cash flows. More information on our properties and investments can be found in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated investments, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, amortization of deferred rent, amortization of below/above market lease intangibles, amortization of deferred financing costs, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, and write-offs of due diligence expenses for abandoned pursuits. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance in the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income or loss from operations, net income or loss and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income or loss from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

Property Portfolio Information
Following the issuance of our publicly listed Series A Preferred Stock in September 2021, we began to significantly transform our portfolio in furtherance of our strategic plan to reduce our exposure to office properties and increase our WALT. The following is a summary of how we have transformed the composition of our real estate portfolio over time, resulting in a majority of our ABR produced by industrial properties, including the TIC Interest, as shown and described below.
Percentage of Annual ABR:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | |||||||||
| Industrial core | 41 | % | 59 | % | 76 | % | 78 | % | ||||
| Non-core | 59 | % | 41 | % | 24 | % | 22 | % | ||||
| WALT (years) | 6.1 | 11.9 | 14.1 | 13.8 |
Following the public listing of our Class C Common Stock in February 2022, we began to focus strategically and exclusively on acquiring industrial manufacturing properties while at the same time continuing the tactical reduction of our non-core properties exposure. To that end, we acquired 15 industrial manufacturing properties and sold eight non-core properties during 2022.
In 2023, we acquired 12 more industrial manufacturing properties and made a significant step in transforming our portfolio in August 2023 when we sold 13 non-core properties to GIPR, comprised of 11 retail properties and two office properties (see Notes 3 and 5 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details), followed by the sale of another office property at the end of August 2023.
We continued our transformation in 2024 with the sale of two non-core properties in January and February and the acquisition of an industrial manufacturing property in July 2024. Industrial properties now comprise 78% of the portfolio ABR and 22% of ABR is attributable to non-core properties, as of December 31, 2024. Our goal is to have a portfolio consisting of 100% industrial manufacturing properties over the intermediate-term.
The following is a breakdown of our income by property type for the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
| Industrial Core (1) | Non-Core (2) | Total | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total rental income | $ | 35,190 | $ | 11,307 | $ | 46,497 | |||||
| Management fee income | $ | 264 | $ | — | $ | 264 |
(1) Industrial core properties include an approximate 72.7% TIC interest in the Santa Clara, California property.
(2) Non-core properties include the following:
(i) our non-core acquisition of a leading KIA retail property located in a prime location in Los Angeles County acquired in January 2022, which was structured as an OP Unit transaction resulting in a favorable equity issuance of $32.8 million represented by 1,312,382 Class C OP Units at a cost basis of $25 per share. We repurchased 656,191 of those units and 123,809 shares of Class C Common Stock from an affiliate of the seller at $14.80 per share on August 1, 2024 as described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K;
(ii) our 12-year lease with OES executed in January 2023 for one of our legacy assets located in Rancho Cordova, California that includes a purchase option which OES may exercise until December 31, 2026. We have received preliminary indications from OES of interest in exercising the option. (We define legacy assets as those that were acquired by different management teams utilizing different investment objectives and underwriting criteria);
(iii) our legacy property leased to Costco located in Issaquah, Washington which offers compelling redevelopment opportunities, following Costco’s lease expiration on July 31, 2025, given its higher density infill location and the fact that the land is zoned to allow for multi-family development. We entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Costco property with KB Home, a national homebuilder, in January 2024 and the buyer has made $1.7 million of non-refundable deposits as of December 31, 2024 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details of the pending sale); and
43
(iv) two legacy office properties including a property leased to Solar Turbines that we expect to sell after we complete a parcel split to maximize its value and a property leased to Cummins that was sold on February 28, 2024 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details of this sale).

(3) As part of our continued effort to increase balance sheet simplicity, management is currently exploring opportunities to acquire the minority interests in the property in which we hold the TIC Interest, which would result in consolidation of the asset, or to sell the TIC Interest.
We have one mortgage secured by an industrial core property and one mortgage secured by a non-core property. The equity of each special purpose subsidiary that owns our other properties is pledged as collateral under our Credit Facility or the properties are unencumbered. See details of mortgage debt in Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Distributions
The source of cash used to pay our distributions has been and is expected to continue to be internally generated funds from operations.
A table of distributions declared and paid is disclosed in Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Distribution Information.
We expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of each month and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification standards. On November 4, 2024, our board of directors authorized a 1.7% increase in the annual distribution rate from $1.15 per share to $1.17 per share commencing with monthly distributions payable to common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders of record beginning as of January 31, 2025.

Cash Flow Summary
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| December 31, | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 18,241 | $ | 16,579 | |||
| Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | $ | 8,395 | $ | (93,602) | |||
| Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | $ | (18,235) | $ | 71,544 |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The net increase in cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily reflects a decrease in property expenses which resulted from the August 2023 sale of properties subject to gross leases and an increase in distributions from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property, which resulted from an increase in available cash following completion of roof replacements. These were partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net of derivative cash receipts, year-over-year since the Term Loan was not fully drawn until April 2023.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily reflects the net proceeds from the sale of two real estate properties and a land parcel aggregating $15.0 million, partially offset by the cost of one acquisition and building additions aggregating $7.0 million. The net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily reflects funds used for acquisitions of 12 properties aggregating $122.8 million and additions to existing real estate properties of $4.8 million, offset in part by the net proceeds of $34.7 million from the sale of real estate properties.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily reflects the net cost of repurchasing Class C OP Units and shares of Class C Common Stock for $11.5 million, our dividends and distributions paid to preferred and common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders and monthly repayments of mortgage notes payable, partially offset by net proceeds from the sale of common stock under our ATM offering. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily reflects our net borrowings of $97.0 million from the Credit Facility, partially offset by repayments of principal on a mortgage note payable, funds used to repurchase common stock and dividends and distributions paid to preferred and common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders.

We acquired one operating property during 2024 and 12 operating properties during 2023, respectively. We sold two and 14 non-core properties during 2024 and 2023, respectively. The operating results of properties that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the properties that were sold during 2024 and 2023 were included in the continuing results of operations in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, may not be comparable to those expected for 2025 or in future periods.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2024 to the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Rental Income
Rental income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $46.5 million and $46.9 million, respectively, including tenant reimbursements of $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The decrease in rental income of $0.4 million, or 1%, year-over-year reflects the disposition of two properties during the first quarter of 2024 and 14 properties in August 2023, which included tenant reimbursements for modified gross leases and double-net leases. The decrease in rental income from sold properties was largely offset by rental income from 12 industrial manufacturing properties acquired in 2023 and one industrial manufacturing property acquired in July 2024. Pursuant to most of our current lease agreements, tenants are required to pay property operating expenses directly; however, some tenants reimburse all or a portion of the property operating expenses that they do not pay directly.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $6.3 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $0.3 million, or 5%, year-over-year primarily reflects reduced employee compensation and investor relations costs, partially offset by non-recurring legal and transfer agent costs related to the distribution of GIPR’s common stock to our stockholders in January 2024.
Stock Compensation
Stock compensation expense was $1.6 million and $11.2 million for the years December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The significant decrease of $9.6 million, or 86%, compared to 2023 primarily reflects the change in stock compensation expense for our Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units which vested at the end of March 2024. Stock compensation expense in 2024 includes $1.2 million for our Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units for the first quarter, of which $0.7 million related to our achievement of management’s performance target for FFO of $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023. Stock compensation expense for these units was $10.9 million in 2023, which included a one-time, non-cash catch-up adjustment of $8.6 million for performance-based stock compensation expense based on our determination that it was probable that we would achieve management’s performance target for FFO of $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023. Amortization of the stock compensation expense related to our Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units was completed effective with their automatic conversion to Class C OP Units on the last business day of March 2024. From April 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, there were no other stock incentive awards outstanding. In addition to the portion of independent directors' fees that are paid in common stock, stock compensation expense in future periods will include amortization for the Class X OP Units granted on February 3, 2025 as described in Note 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $16.6 million and $15.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The purchase price of properties acquired is allocated to tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, if any, and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. The increase of $1.0 million, or 7%, year-over-year primarily reflects a full year of depreciation of real estate properties acquired in the first seven months of 2023, and an increase due to an industrial manufacturing property acquired on July 15, 2024, partially offset by reductions due to properties sold in August 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, along with reductions in amortization of intangible lease assets for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to the disposition of properties with acquired leases rather than leases initiated by us.
46
Property Expenses
Property expenses were $3.6 million and $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These expenses primarily relate to property taxes and repairs and maintenance expenses, the majority of which are reimbursed by tenants and included in rental income. The decrease of $1.5 million, or 30%, year-over-year primarily reflects decreases in repairs and maintenance and property taxes related to 14 properties sold during August 2023, which included modified gross leases and double-net leases, offset in part by an increase in non-recoverable environmental insurance expenses.
Impairment of Real Estate Investment Property
There was no impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024. Impairment of real estate investment property amounted to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to our property in Nashville, Tennessee, which was leased to Cummins Inc. The impairment charge represents the excess of the property’s carrying value over the property’s contracted sale price less estimated selling costs for the sale that was completed on February 28, 2024.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Real Estate Investments, Net
The gain on sale of real estate investments of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 relates to the aggregate gain on sale of two properties (one industrial property with a lease expiration at the end of 2024 and one office property), which were sold during the first quarter of 2024 and the gain on sale of a land parcel in September 2024 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). The loss on sale of real estate investments of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes the $1.9 million loss on sale of the 13 non-core properties sold to GIPR on August 10, 2023, partially offset by the $0.2 million gain on sale of the office property sold on August 31, 2023. The loss included the $2.4 million difference between the $12.0 million liquidation value and the $9.6 million fair value of our investment in GIPR’s newly-created Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock received on August 10, 2023 as a portion of the sale proceeds (see Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details).
Other (Expense) Income
Interest income was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Interest income for 2024 primarily reflects interest earned on the proceeds from the sale of two properties (one industrial and one office) sold during the first two months of 2024 and higher interest rates earned on available cash and cash equivalents. Interest income for 2023 primarily reflects interest earned on cash proceeds from the April 2023 draws on the Term Loan, prior to utilizing such cash to acquire industrial manufacturing properties.
Dividend income was $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting dividends received on our investment in GIPR preferred stock for August through December 2023 and in January 2024, along with dividends received prior to the sale of 171,444 shares of common stock issued by GIPR and retained by us as described in Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property, which reflects our approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in the Santa Clara, California property’s results of operations, remained relatively constant at $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Interest expense, including unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swaps and net of derivative settlements, was $16.2 million and $13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively (see Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details of the components of interest expense, net). The increase of $2.4 million, year-over-year primarily reflects (i) a $0.9 million increase in unrealized losses, net on valuation of interest rate swaps, and (ii) a $2.2 million net increase in interest expense and unused commitment fees incurred on our Credit Facility due to larger balances outstanding during 2024, since the Term Loan was not fully drawn until April 2023. This increase was partially offset by greater derivative cash settlements of $0.5 million and a reduction of $0.3 million in mortgage notes interest expense year-over-year as a result of paying off the mortgage on the property leased to OES in December 2023.
The year ended December 31, 2023 includes a gain of $1.4 million for the fair value adjustment of the GIPR preferred stock for the period from August 10, 2023 (when the GIPR preferred stock was acquired) through December 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The policies and estimates discussed below reflect those that management believes are or will be critical in affecting the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates these estimates based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable on an ongoing basis. Additionally, other companies may have utilized different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements of this report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Real Estate Investments
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
In connection with our acquisition of properties, we allocate the purchase price, including transaction costs, to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective estimated fair values. Tangible assets consist of land, buildings, fixtures and tenant improvements. Intangible assets consist of above- and below- market lease values and the value of in-place leases. Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, market land and building values, discount and capitalization rates, and future cash flows. The use of different assumptions could impact the timing of recognition of related revenues and expenses.
Impairment of Investment in Real Estate Properties
We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate properties may not be recoverable. These indicators include, but are not limited to: changes in real estate market conditions, our ability to re-lease properties that are vacant, reclassification of properties to held for sale, and tenants in bankruptcy. Identification of such events may involve certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the real estate properties will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. The undiscounted operating cash flows are based on estimated market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, estimated hold periods, discount rates, and capitalization rates. If, based on the analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate properties, we will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate properties. The use of different assumptions could have a material impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Also, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation with issued and outstanding stock consisting of Series A Preferred Stock, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.PA,” and Class C Common Stock, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.” We currently own and manage single-tenant net-lease properties throughout the United States, which are primarily, but not exclusively, industrial properties. Our focus for future acquisitions is on critical industrial manufacturing properties with long-term leases to tenants that fuel the national economy and strengthen the nation's supply chains. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since December 31, 2019, we have been internally managed, as further described below in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
Following the January and February 2024 sales of the two properties that were held for sale as of December 31, 2023, our real estate investment portfolio consists of 42 properties, including the TIC Interest, as further described in Notes 3 and 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our portfolio is distributed across 15 states and consists of 38 industrial properties which represent approximately 76% of the portfolio by ABR, one retail property which represents approximately 11% of the portfolio by ABR, and three office properties which represent approximately 13% of the portfolio by ABR. As of December 31, 2023, excluding the two properties that were held for sale, our ABR was $39,328,192 with a WALT of 14.1 years and 33% of our tenants by ABR are investment grade.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through the Operating Partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties. We are the sole general partner of, and owned an approximate 68% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership on December 31, 2023. The Operating Partnership’s limited partners include holders of several classes of units with various vesting and enhancement terms as further described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We report with the SEC as a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Primary Investment Objectives
Our primary investment objectives are:
•to provide attractive growth in AFFO and sustainable cash distributions;
•to realize appreciation from proactive investment selection and management;
•to provide future opportunities for growth and value creation; and
•to provide an investment alternative for stockholders seeking to allocate a portion of their long-term investment portfolios to industrial manufacturing real estate.
We expect the trend of onshoring manufacturing to accelerate and we will continue to focus future acquisitions on industrial manufacturing properties, subject to market conditions and the availability of prices that we consider attractive. We can provide no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives. See the Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Recent Events and Uncertainties
There are continuing significant uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to inflation and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and negative impacts associated with the violence and unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine and sanctions which have been implemented by the United States and other countries against Russia. Volatility in stock and bond markets and particularly the rapid rise in yields on U.S. Treasury securities during 2022 and 2023, the ripple effect of bank failures in the first half of 2023 and increasing bank regulations, may negatively impact our operating results, liquidity and sources of borrowings.
We, our tenants and operating partners are impacted by inflation and rising interest rates. While the rate of inflation has been declining over the last few months, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target and there is significant uncertainty over the future rate of inflation. Depending on the future course of inflation, the Federal Reserve may refrain from reducing interest rates to try to rein in inflation, which could lead to a recession and will negatively impact our future results due to higher borrowing costs on any future floating rate borrowing. As of December 31, 2023, 100% of our $281,200,000 outstanding debt is at fixed rates with a weighted average rate of 4.52% as a result of the swap agreements entered into in May 2022 and October 2022. In addition, sustained elevated inflation rates may negatively impact our longer term leases if contractual rent increases are not sufficient to keep up with market leases.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from office properties. Following the January and February 2024 sales of the two properties held for sale leased by Levins and Cummins, respectively, we have no leases expiring in the next 12 months.

Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. We successfully negotiated lease extensions for three and two properties during 2022 and 2023, respectively; however, changing circumstances may make future lease extensions more difficult.
The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, Federal Reserve policy, bank failures in the first half of 2023, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on office properties, market sentiment and regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. In January 2022, we refinanced all but four of our properties (including the TIC Interest) with proceeds from our Credit Facility (as defined below), which includes floating rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and our leverage ratio as described below. The mortgage on our Rancho Cordova, California property, which is leased to the State of California's Office of Emergency Services (“OES”) and was scheduled to mature on March 9, 2024, was fully repaid in December 2023 and the other three mortgages do not mature until after September 2027. All of the remaining mortgages are at fixed rates. As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into during 2022, 100% of our consolidated indebtedness as of December 31, 2023, held a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.52%.
Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms, or at all, at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments and refinancings, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by bank borrowings through our Credit Facility, mortgage indebtedness on our properties, real estate property sales, internally generated funds or offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock.
Purchases of properties in the near-term will be funded primarily with proceeds from dispositions of remaining non-core properties, proceeds from our ATM program and cash on hand. In the future, we expect to sell additional shares of our Class C Common Stock, subject to market conditions and a recovery in the trading price of our Class C Common Stock. We are targeting leverage, over the long-term once we achieve scale, of 40% or lower of the aggregate fair value of our real estate properties plus our cash and cash equivalents; however, we increased our borrowing during 2023 in order to execute attractive acquisition opportunities resulting in leverage of 48% as of December 31, 2023. We have $150 million of borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility (defined below) which we may utilize in the near or medium-term if we identify attractive investment opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity, which could result in temporary increases in leverage.
Our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and distributions on our Class C Common Stock will be funded by internally generated funds. We expect to have adequate liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.
Credit Facility and Mortgages
Our Operating Partnership entered into an agreement for a line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) on January 18, 2022 which was amended on October 21, 2022, and currently provides a $400,000,000 line of credit comprised of a $150,000,000 four-year Revolver, which may be extended by up to 12 months subject to certain conditions, and a $250,000,000 five-year Term Loan with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), including KeyBank as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), as further described in Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness and capital expenditures.
36
Table of Contents
The Credit Facility includes an accordion option that allows us to request additional Revolver and Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750,000,000 subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of new commitments from the Lenders. The Revolver’s maturity is in January 2026, with options to extend for a total of 12 months, and the Term Loan’s maturity is in January 2027.
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With our leverage ratio at 48% as of September 30, 2023, the spread over SOFR, including a 10-basis point credit adjustment, is 185 basis points for the Revolver. Therefore, the interest rate on the Revolver was 7.1625% as of February 29, 2024; although there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. We also pay an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and paid total unused fees of $378,816 and $200,578 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
On May 10, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from May 31, 2022 to January 17, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 2.258% with respect to our original $150,000,000 Term Loan. We granted the cancellation option because it reduced the swap rate by approximately 50 basis points. The Company has begun to explore, and intends to further explore various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option. This swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 4.058% on our original $150,000,000 Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 48% as of December 31, 2023, as described in Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On October 26, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from November 30, 2022 to November 30, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 3.44% with respect to our expanded Term Loan. We granted the cancellation option because it reduced the swap rate by approximately 50 basis points. This swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 5.240% on the additional $100,000,000 borrowed under the expanded Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 48% as of December 31, 2023, as described in Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable on our operating properties was $31,200,000 and $44,515,009, respectively, our Revolver outstanding principal balance was zero and $3,000,000, respectively, and our Term Loan outstanding principal balance was $250,000,000 and $150,000,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our approximate 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable of $12,730,664 was $9,256,466, which is not included in our consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants regarding minimum fixed charge coverage of 1.50x, minimum tangible net worth of $208,629,727 plus 85% of net offering proceeds after January 18, 2022, and maximum consolidated leverage of 60%. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the ‘‘Subsidiary Guarantors’’) that are indirectly owned by us, and various cash collateral owned by the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In connection with the Credit Facility, we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which we and each of our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
We are targeting leverage of 40% or lower over the long-term once we achieve scale; however, we increased our borrowing during 2023 in order to execute attractive acquisition opportunities resulting in leverage of 48% as of December 31, 2023. We may have higher leverage in the near or medium-term if we identify attractive investment opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity to fund future acquisitions.
While we intend for the Credit Facility to be an important source of financing, we may continue to use mortgage debt financing for certain real estate investments and acquisitions. This financing may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time-to-time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs.

Table of Contents
The $150,000,000 unused capacity on our Revolver as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, subject to our borrowing base covenant, along with proceeds from any future offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock, can be used to invest in real estate and real estate-related investments or to re-lease and reposition our properties in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, including costs and fees associated with such investments, such as capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs. We also may use a portion of the proceeds from our equity offerings for payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes.
Compliance with All Debt Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility and our two mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties, we and/or our subsidiary borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. We and/or our subsidiary borrowers were in compliance with such financial loan covenants as of December 31, 2023.
Acquisitions and Sale of Real Estate Investments
We acquired a total of 12 industrial manufacturing properties for an aggregate of $129,753,499 (including closing costs) during the year ended December 31, 2023, at a blended initial cap rate of 7.8% and a weighted average cap rate of 10.3%. We define “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property. We define “weighted average cap rate” for property acquisitions as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property.
The details follow of the 12 and 16 properties we acquired during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

(a) Includes $1,800,000 funding provided for improvements to the previously acquired Lindsay property in Franklinton, North Carolina, which was initially recorded as a construction advance in prepaid expenses and other assets (see Note 6 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the remaining balance as of December 31, 2023).
(b) The Summit property was acquired in an ‘‘UPREIT’’ unit transaction wherein the seller received 287,516 Class C OP Units accounting for approximately 46% of the property value with the rest of the price paid in cash.
(c) The KIA property was acquired in an ‘‘UPREIT’’ unit transaction wherein the seller received 1,312,382 Class C OP Units accounting for approximately 47% of the property value and we repaid a $36,465,449 existing mortgage, including accrued interest, on the property.
(d) The South Carolina and Ohio properties each have a 25-year master lease and the Texas and Utah properties each have a 15-year master lease.
In evaluating the above properties as potential acquisitions, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price to be paid for the properties, we considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the properties, the terms of the existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenants, property location, visibility and access, age of the properties, physical condition and curb appeal, neighboring property uses, local market conditions, including vacancy rates, area demographics, including trade area population and average household income and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions.
We sold a total of 14 properties (11 retail, two office and one flex) during 2023, comprising 241,795 square feet for aggregate contract sales prices of $47,466,960, net losses on sales of $1,708,801 and aggregate net proceeds of $44,357,474, net of commissions and closing costs. See Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details of these dispositions.
Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvements
Other than as discussed below, we do not have other plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to our lease agreements, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had obligations to reimburse $2,439,098 and $1,789,027, respectively, for future on-site and tenant improvements expected to be incurred by tenants. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2024 calendar year and will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flow, offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock or borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In addition, we have identified approximately $664,611 of capital expenditures that are expected to be completed in the next 12 months which are not recoverable from tenants with double-net leases. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand or operating cash flows. More information on our properties and investments can be found in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, stock-based compensation, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, and write-offs of due diligence expenses for abandoned pursuits. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance of the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.

Table of Contents
(1) We categorize Tactical Non-Core Assets as those assets that offer compelling value-add or opportunistic investment characteristics when measured over a near-term or interim holding period. We currently hold three such assets: (i) our tactical non-core acquisition of a leading KIA auto dealership located in a prime location in Los Angeles County in January 2022, which was structured as an UPREIT unit transaction resulting in a favorable equity issuance of $32,809,550 value of Class C OP Units at a cost basis of $25.00 per unit; (ii) our 12 year lease to OES executed in January 2023 for one of our legacy office assets located in Rancho Cordova, California that includes an attractive purchase option by the tenant which we believe has a favorable probability of being executed upon in the next 24 months; and (iii) our office property leased to Costco located in Issaquah, Washington which offers compelling redevelopment opportunities following Costco's lease expiration on July 31, 2025 given its higher density infill location and the fact that the land is zoned for additional uses including multi-family. On January 11, 2024, we entered into a contingent purchase and sale agreement with a national homebuilder for the sale of this property as further described in Note 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(2) Other non-core assets include (1) one legacy office property leased to Cummins classified as held for sale beginning September 30, 2023, and sold on February 28, 2024 (see Notes 3 and 14 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details), and (2) one additional legacy office property leased to Solar Turbines. We define legacy assets as those inherited through prior mergers and acquisitions activity and such assets that were acquired by different management teams utilizing different investment objectives or underwriting criteria.
(3) We do not allocate non-property expenses across our property types; therefore, we report these expenses separately under the Non-Property & Other caption in the table above. Such expenses can include stock compensation expense, general and administrative, unrealized gains and losses on interest rate hedges, and other comprehensive items.
(4) Excludes 474,515 performance units in footnote (5) (v) below in accordance with the terms of the Operating Partnership Agreement.
(5) Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding includes the following for the year ended December 31, 2023:
(i) 7,558,833 shares of Class C Common Stock;
(ii) 1,528,020 Class C OP Units for the year ended December 31, 2023, including 1,312,382 issued in January 2022 in connection with the acquisition of the KIA auto dealership property and the weighted average of 287,516 units which were issued in April 2023 in conjunction with our acquisition of the property in Reading, Pennsylvania leased to Summit Steel & Manufacturing, LLC;
(iii) 1,096,582 Class C OP Units that resulted from conversion of 657,949.5 Class M OP Units during January 2024;
(iv) 93,382 Class C OP Units that will result from the automatic conversion of 56,029 Class P OP Units on March 31, 2024, based on the conversion ratio of 1.6667 Class C OP Units for each Class P OP Unit outstanding; and
(v) 790,858 Class C OP Units that will result from the automatic conversion of 316,343 Class R OP Units on March 31, 2024, which reflects the conversion ratio of 2.5-for-1 based on the achievement of the FFO performance target of $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023, as described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(6) For the intra-period allocation, we treat all component per share amounts as fully-diluted to correspond with the consolidated FFO and AFFO results reflected above.

Distributions
The source of cash used to pay our distributions has been and is expected to continue to be internally generated funds from operations.
A table of distributions declared and paid is disclosed in Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Distribution Information.
We expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of each month and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification standards.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
| 2023 | 2022 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 16,578,228 | $ | 16,648,821 | |||
| Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (93,602,234) | $ | (61,063,193) | |||
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $ | 71,544,771 | $ | (5,384,499) |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $16,578,228 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $16,648,821 for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in a net decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $70,593 year-over-year primarily due to the increase in cash interest expense during 2023, partially offset by decreases in general and administrative and property expenses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $93,602,234 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $61,063,193 for the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in an increase in cash used in investing activities of $32,539,041, primarily due to a reduction in net sales proceeds received of $34,737,474 in 2023 for 14 properties, which were primarily smaller retail properties, compared with net sales proceeds of $70,662,287 received in 2022 for eight office, flex and retail properties. This decrease in net proceeds from asset sales was partially offset by a decrease in funds utilized to invest in acquisitions and additions to existing real estate investments of $3,970,067, reflecting 12 property acquisitions in 2023 compared with 16 property acquisitions in 2022.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $71,544,771 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to cash used in financing activities of $5,384,499 for the year ended December 31, 2022, which primarily reflects a decrease of $117,181,737 in the principal payments on notes payable that were refinanced with borrowings under our Credit Facility in January 2022, or repaid upon sales of properties, partially offset by a decrease in our Credit Facility Term Loan borrowings of $50,000,000 year-over-year. In addition, payments of deferred financing costs incurred in 2022 aggregated $3,638,229. No such charges were incurred in 2023.

(a) Includes the TIC Interest.
(b) Includes two properties (one industrial and one office) held for sale as of December 31, 2023, which were sold on January 10, 2024 and February 28, 2024.
(c) Includes one flex property held for sale as of December 31, 2022, which was sold on August 31, 2023.
We acquired 12 and 16 operating properties during 2023 and 2022, respectively. We sold 14 properties (11 retail, two office and one flex) during 2023 and eight properties (six office, one retail and one flex) during 2022. The operating results of each property that was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the 14 and eight properties that were sold during 2023 and 2022, respectively, were included in the continuing results of operations in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We expect that rental income, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense will increase in 2024 as compared with 2023, as a result of the $129,753,499 of industrial manufacturing property acquisitions during 2023, which were partially offset by the sale of 14 properties completed in August 2023, along with the sale of the two properties held for sale in January and February 2024. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, may not be comparable to those expected for 2024 or in future periods.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2023 to the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Rental Income
Rental income, including tenant reimbursements, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $46,936,599 and $43,822,032, respectively. Rental income during 2022 included early termination fee revenue of $3,751,984 related to an office property in Rancho Cordova, California leased to Sutter Health, which was subsequently leased to OES effective January 4, 2023. The increase in rental income of $6,866,551, or 17%, year-over-year, excluding the 2022 early termination fee revenue, primarily reflects the rental income contribution from our acquisitions of 12 industrial manufacturing properties acquired during the first three quarters of 2023, partially offset by the decrease in rental income from the sale of eight properties during 2022 and 14 properties sold during August 2023. Pursuant to most of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay or reimburse all or a portion of the property operating expenses. The ABR of the 44 operating properties owned as of December 31, 2023, was $40,114,613 and December 31, 2023 ABR, excluding periods subsequent to the sales of Levins and Cummins, was $39,586,711.
General and Administrative
47
Table of Contents
General and administrative expenses were $6,642,990 and $7,812,057 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $1,169,067, or 15%, year-over-year primarily reflects decreases in (i) employee compensation due to personnel reductions during 2022; (ii) directors and officers insurance; and (iii) costs for technology services, offset in part by an increase in costs for professional services during 2023.
Stock Compensation
Stock compensation expense was $11,171,207 and $2,401,022 for the years December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $8,770,185 reflects a catch-up adjustment of $8,555,529 related to our achievement of management’s performance target for FFO of $1.05 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2023, exclusive of the dilutive effect of the performance units and related stock compensation expense. Our FFO per fully diluted share excluding the dilutive impact of the performance units and the related stock compensation expense was $1.77 for the year ended December 31, 2023 (see “Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations” above). This exceeded the performance target of $1.05 per diluted share by $0.72, or 69%. As a result of achieving our performance target of $1.05 per diluted share, exclusive of the effect of the performance units and related stock compensation expense, an additional 474,515 Class C OP Units will be issued on March 31, 2024, upon the automatic conversion of our Class R OP Units based on a conversion ratio of 2.5 Class C OP Units for each Class R OP Unit. The catch-up adjustment reflects amortization of the $19.58 per share fair value of the performance units from the January 25, 2021 grant date through December 31, 2023. The remaining unamortized fair value of $733,331 will be recorded as compensation expense for the performance units through the end of the vesting period on March 31, 2024. The performance target was established in January 2021 and represented a 20% increase over the FFO per diluted share achieved for the year ended December 31, 2020. The $1.77 of FFO per diluted share, exclusive of the effect of the performance units and related stock compensation expense, represents a 101% increase over the FFO per diluted share achieved for the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining $224,656 increase in stock compensation expense reflects the absence of forfeitures during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to recapture of stock compensation expense related to employee departures and forfeitures in 2022.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $15,551,173 and $14,929,574 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The purchase price of properties acquired is allocated to tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, if any, and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. The increase of $621,599, or 4%, year-over-year primarily reflects an increase in depreciation of real estate properties acquired, partially offset by reductions due to properties sold in the second half of 2022 and August 2023, along with reductions in amortization of intangible lease assets for the year ended December 31, 2023, due to the disposition of properties with acquired leases rather than leases initiated by us.
Property Expenses
Our property expenses generally consist of site repair and maintenance costs, real estate taxes, business licenses, insurance, utilities, property management fees and other property costs. Property expenses were $5,161,017 and $6,547,391 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. A significant portion of these expenses are reimbursed by tenants and rental income includes tenant reimbursements of $2,962,297 and $4,244,009 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of $1,386,374, or 21%, year-over-year primarily reflects decreases in property taxes and repairs and maintenance related to assets sold, which included double-net and modified gross leases, offset in part by increases in property management fees associated with acquired properties during the current year.
Impairment of Goodwill
The impairment of goodwill of $17,320,857 for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects the significant decline in the market value of our Class C Common Stock following the inception of our trading on the NYSE in February 2022. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, management considered the fact that the trading price of our Class C Common Stock caused our market capitalization to be below the book value of our equity as of March 31, 2022. Our stock price was evaluated to be materially below both our historical net asset value and the book value of our equity, reflecting the negative impacts of rising inflation and interest rates, declining office occupancy rates affecting owners of real estate properties and fears of a potential recession. We, therefore, reduced the carrying value of goodwill to zero as of March 31, 2022.
(Loss) Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investments, Net
The loss on sale of real estate investments of $1,708,801 for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes the $1,887,040 loss on sale of the 13 properties (11 retail and two office) sold to GIPR on August 10, 2023, partially offset by the $178,239 gain on sale of the flex property sold on August 31, 2023. The loss includes the $2,380,000 difference between the $12,000,000

Table of Contents
liquidation value and the $9,620,000 fair value of our investment in GIPR's newly-created Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock received on August 10, 2023 as a portion of the sale proceeds (see Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). The gain on sale of real estate investments of $12,196,371 for the year ended December 31, 2022 relates to the gain on sale of eight properties (six office, one retail and one flex) sold during 2022 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details).
Other (Expense) Income
Interest income was $325,888 and $21,910 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, reflecting interest earned on cash proceeds from April 2023 draws on the Term Loan prior to utilizing such cash to acquire industrial manufacturing properties in May 2023 and higher interest rates earned on available cash and cash equivalents during 2023.
Dividend income was $475,000 and zero for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, reflecting dividends on the GIPR Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock received in August 2023.
Income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property, which reflects our approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in the Santa Clara, California property's results of operations, was $279,549 and $278,002 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Interest expense, including unrealized loss on interest rate swaps and net of derivative settlements was $13,806,838 and $8,106,658 for the years December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (see Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details of the components of interest expense, net). The increase of $5,700,180 year-over-year primarily reflects the increase in interest expense incurred on our Credit Facility due to larger balances outstanding and net unrealized loss on interest rate swap valuations, partially offset by an increase in derivative settlements.
The net unrealized loss on swap valuation of $1,633,451 for the year ended December 31, 2023 reflects the change in valuation of both our $150,000,000 first swap and $100,000,000 second swap. The unrealized loss was partially offset by the $1,015,151 amortization of the unrealized gain on interest rate swap derivative previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The first swap derivative instrument failed to qualify as a cash flow hedge beginning January 1, 2023, because the swap was deemed ineffective due to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, as compared with the maturity date of the Term Loan. We granted this cancellation option because it reduced the swap rate by approximately 50 basis points. The second derivative instrument was not designated as a cash flow hedge. These unrealized losses reflect decreases during the year ended December 31, 2023 in the forward curve for future SOFR rates through December 31, 2024 (the one-time cancellation option date). We have begun, and intend to further explore various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option.
The increase in fair value of our investment in preferred stock of $1,418,658 reflects the change in the fair value between when the stock was acquired on August 10, 2023 and the fair value as of December 31, 2023.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1,725,318 for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects non-cash charges of $1,164,998 for deferred financing costs and prepayment penalties of $615,336 upon repayment of 20 mortgages on 27 properties, full repayment of our Prior Credit Facility and mortgage repayments related to four asset sales, as well as $733,000 of swap termination fees related to the four mortgage refinancings, which were offset by the related write-off of unrealized swap valuation losses of $788,016.
Other income of $297,695 and $93,971 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, reflects our monthly management fee from the entities that own the TIC Interest property, partially offset in 2022 by charges for the write-off of certain crowdfunding related investments. The monthly management fee is equal to 0.1% of the total investment value of the property. The total management fee was $263,971 for each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, of which our portion of expense relating to the TIC Interest was $191,933 for each year and is reflected as a component of income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The policies and estimates discussed below reflect those that management believes are or will be critical in affecting the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates these estimates based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable an ongoing basis. Additionally, other companies may have utilized different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. See “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements of this report on Form 10-K for additional discussion of our significant accounting policies.
Real Estate Investments
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
We record acquisitions that meet the definition of a business as a business combination. If the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, we record the acquisition as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their acquisition-date fair values. Transaction costs that are related to a business combination are charged to expense as incurred. Transaction costs that are related to an asset acquisition are capitalized as incurred.
We assess the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods. We amortize the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income (loss).
Impairment of Investment in Real Estate Properties
We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate properties may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the real estate properties will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. If, based on the analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate properties, we will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate properties.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Also, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation with issued and outstanding stock consisting of Series A Preferred Stock, publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.PA,” and Class C Common Stock, publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.” We currently own and manage single-tenant net-lease industrial, retail and office properties throughout the United States, with a focus on future acquisitions of critical industrial manufacturing properties with long-term leases to tenants that fuel the national economy and strengthen the nation's supply chains, while reducing the number of office and retail properties in our portfolio. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Through various transactions, including the Merger, we created one of the largest non-listed REITs to be raised via crowdfunding technology. Since December 31, 2019, we have been internally managed, as further described below. Driven by an investor-first focus and an experienced management team, Modiv leveraged its history as a real estate crowdfunding pioneer to create an approximate $535 million (based on estimated fair value) real estate portfolio comprised of approximately 3.2 million square feet of income-producing real estate. As of December 31, 2022, we have a portfolio of 46 commercial real estate properties

Table of Contents
in 17 states, comprised of 27 industrial properties, including our approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in a 91,740 square foot Santa Clara, California industrial property, 12 retail properties and 7 office properties (including one held for sale) as discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2022, after reflecting lease extensions through the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 48% of our tenants (based on ABR) are investment grade, our ABR was $33,667,366, all of our properties are 100% leased and our WALT was 11.9 years.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through the Operating Partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties, some of which may be affiliated with us or our executive officers or directors. We are the sole general partner of, and owned an approximate 73% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership on December 31, 2022. The Operating Partnership’s limited partners include holders of several classes of units with various vesting and enhancement terms as further described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We report with the SEC as a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Self-Management Transaction and Merger on December 31, 2019
Through December 31, 2019, we were externally managed by our former external advisor. On December 31, 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of our former external advisor and our former sponsor in exchange for Class M OP Units. As a result of such acquisition, we became self-managed and eliminated all fees for acquisitions, dispositions and management of our properties, which were previously paid to our former external advisor.
On December 31, 2019, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, REIT I merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, we issued 2,680,740 shares of our Class C Common Stock to former stockholders of REIT I. On December 31, 2020, Merger Sub was merged into the Operating Partnership and ceased to exist.
Common Stock Offerings and Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Since our initial registered offering of common stock was declared effective by the SEC in 2016,we have raised an aggregate of $212,086,682 pursuant to: (i) non-listed offerings of common stock registered with the SEC, (ii) offerings of common stock exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) DRP offerings of common stock registered with the SEC, (iv) the Private Offering, (v) the Reg A Offering and (vi) the Listed Offering.
On December 8, 2021, we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-261529), and, on February 9, 2022, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-11, in connection with the Listed Offering of our Class C Common Stock, which became effective on February 10, 2021. In connection with and upon the listing on the NYSE, each share of our Class S Common Stock converted into a share of Class C Common Stock. Our Listed Offering of Class C Common Stock closed on February 15, 2022. In connection with our Listed Offering, we sold 40,000 shares of our Class C Common Stock at $25.00 per share to a major stockholder who was formerly a related party.
On January 22, 2021, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252321) to reflect our amended and restated DRP and register a maximum of $100,000,000 in share value of Class C Common Stock to be issued pursuant to our amended and restated DRP. We commenced offering shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Registered DRP Offering on January 27, 2021.
On February 15, 2022, our board of directors approved the Second Amended and Restated DRP to change the purchase price at which the Class C Common Stock is issued to stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP, and we filed a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-3. The purpose of this change was to reflect the fact that our Class C Common Stock is now listed on the NYSE and no longer priced based on our most-recently determined estimated NAV per share. As more fully described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP, the purchase price for our Class C Common Stock under the DRP depends on whether we issue new shares to DRP participants or we or any third-party administrator obtains shares to be issued to DRP participants by purchasing them in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We expect to continue issuing our monthly distributions and maintain the ability for investors to reinvest their distributions under our Registered DRP Offering.
54
Table of Contents
The purchase price for the Class C Common Stock issued directly by us is 97%, reflecting a 3% discount (or such other discount as may then be in effect) of the Market Price (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) of our Class C Common Stock. This discount is subject to change from time to time, in our sole discretion, but will be between 0% to 5% of the Market Price. The purchase price for the Class C Common Stock that we or any third-party administrator purchases from parties other than our Company, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, will be 100% of the “average price per share” (as described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) actually paid for such shares of Class C Common Stock, excluding any processing fees. The Second Amended and Restated DRP also reflects the $0.05 per share processing fee that will be paid by DRP participants for each share of Class C Common Stock purchased through the DRP. The Second Amended and Restated DRP was effective beginning with distributions paid in February 2022. From February 2022 through December 31, 2022, we issued 179,502 shares of Class C Common Stock under the DRP.
On March 30, 2022, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263985), and on May 27, 2022, we filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, to issue and sell from time to time, together or separately, the following securities at an aggregate public offering price that will not exceed $200,000,000: Class C Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units. The Form S-3, as amended, became effective on June 2, 2022 and we filed a prospectus supplement for our ATM Offering of up to $50,000,000 of our Class C Common Stock on June 6, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, no shares have been issued in connection with our ATM Offering.
Preferred Stock Offering
On September 14, 2021, we and the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Preferred Stock Underwriting Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative of the underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Underwriters”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 1,800,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering (the “Preferred Offering”) at a price per share of $25.00. In addition, we granted the Preferred Stock Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 200,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which the Preferred Stock Underwriters exercised in full on September 16, 2021. The issuance and sale of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including the issuance and sale of an additional 200,000 shares pursuant to the Preferred Stock Underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, closed on September 17, 2021. The gross proceeds from the Preferred Offering were $50,000,000 and the net proceeds were $47,607,309, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1,575,000 and other offering expenses of $817,691, which included the structuring fee of $250,000 (see Note 9 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments and refinancings, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by bank borrowings from financial institutions, mortgage indebtedness on our properties, assets sales and internally generated funds or offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock. Our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses and dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and distributions on our Class C Common Stock will be funded by internally generated funds.
Credit Facility
On January 18, 2022, our Operating Partnership entered into a $250,000,000 Credit Agreement providing for a $100,000,000 four-year Revolver, which may be extended by up to 12 months subject to certain conditions, and a $150,000,000 five-year Term Loan with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), including KeyBank as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), BMO Capital Markets, Truist Bank and The Huntington National Bank as Co-Syndication Agents (the “Co-Syndication Agents”) and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., BMO Capital Markets, Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and The Huntington National Bank as Joint-Lead Arrangers (the “Lead Arrangers”). The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness and capital expenditures. On October 21, 2022, we exercised the accordion feature of our Credit Agreement and increased the Credit Facility from $250,000,000 to $400,000,000 as further described below.
55
Table of Contents
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With our leverage ratio at 38% as of September 30, 2022, the spread over SOFR, including a 10-basis point credit adjustment, is 165 basis points and the interest rate on the Revolver was 5.96% as of December 31, 2022. We also pay an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and paid total unused fees of $200,578 for the year ended December 31, 2022. On May 10, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective May 31, 2022, to fix SOFR at 2.258% with respect to our original $150,000,000 Term Loan as described in Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which resulted in a fixed interest rate of 3.858% on the first $150,000,000 of our Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 38%.
On October 21, 2022, we exercised the accordion feature of our Credit Facility and increased the Credit Facility to $400,000,000, comprised of a $150,000,000 Revolver and a $250,000,000 Term Loan. The Credit Facility includes an updated accordion option that allows us to request additional Revolver and Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750,000,000 subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of new commitments from the Lenders. On December 20, 2022, the Credit Agreement was amended to allow us to draw on the additional $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment up to five times between December 20, 2022 and April 19, 2023 in exchange for a quarterly unused fee, which amounted to $6,944 during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The maturities for our Revolver and Term Loan remain unchanged with the Revolver’s maturity in January 2026 with options to extend for a total of 12 months, and the Term Loan’s maturity in January 2027. We paid lender fees of $1,378,125 in connection with the expansion of our Credit Facility.
On October 26, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective November 30, 2022, to fix SOFR at 3.44% with respect to our expanded Term Loan as described in Note 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which would result in a fixed interest rate of 5.04% on the additional $100,000,000 to be borrowed under the Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 38% as of December 31, 2022.
The Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants regarding minimum fixed charge coverage of 1.50x, minimum tangible net worth of $208,629,727 plus 85% of net offering proceeds after January 18, 2022, and maximum consolidated leverage of 60%. We were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2022. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the ‘‘Subsidiary Guarantors’’) that are indirectly owned by us, and various cash collateral owned by the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In connection with the Credit Facility, we and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which we and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
While the Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to 60% of our borrowing base, we are targeting leverage of 40% or lower over the long-term once we achieve scale; however, we will consider higher leverage in the near-term if we identify attractive acquisition opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity. As of December 31, 2022, our leverage ratio was 38%.
Credit Facility Drawdown and Repayments
On January 18, 2022, we borrowed $155,775,000 from our Credit Facility consisting of $100,000,000 under the Term Loan and $55,775,000 under the Revolver. We used a portion of the proceeds from the Credit Facility to pay total commitment and arrangement fees of $2,020,000 to the Agent, the Lenders, the Lead Arrangers and Co-Syndication Agents.
We used a portion of the proceeds from the Credit Facility to repay 20 property mortgages, and related interest aggregating $153,428,764, including the $36,465,449 mortgage on the KIA auto dealership property which was acquired on January 18, 2022, as discussed above, and our prior line of credit outstanding balance of $8,022,000. The 20 mortgages that were paid off were for the following 27 properties: eight Dollar Generals, Northrop Grumman, exp Maitland, Wyndham, Williams Sonoma, EMCOR, Husqvarna, AvAir, 3M, Cummins, Levins, Labcorp, GSA (MHSA), PreK Education, ITW Rippey, Solar Turbines, WSP USA (formerly Wood Group), Gap, L3Harris and Walgreens. After the 20 property mortgages were paid-off, seven property mortgages as of December 31, 2021 remained outstanding, including four property mortgages related to assets held for sale. Those four mortgages were paid-off pursuant to sales of the properties in February 2022 as discussed below under “- Sale of Real Estate Investments.”

On March 8, 2022, we prepaid $35,000,000 of the outstanding balance on the Revolver with cash on hand in order to reduce interest expense, and on April 19, 2022, we drew $44,000,000 on the Revolver to fund the acquisition of the Lindsay properties. On April 25, 2022, we drew the remaining $50,000,000 on the Term Loan for a repayment on the Revolver and we also repaid $8,000,000 on the Revolver on June 22, 2022. We borrowed and repaid $28,000,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 in connection with acquisitions completed in July and August 2022 and dispositions completed in August and September 2022. We used proceeds from the Sutter Health early termination fee to prepay $3,775,000 on the Revolver in December 2022 and prepaid the remaining $3,000,000 Revolver balance on January 5, 2023 with the proceeds from the December 30, 2022 sale of our Raising Cane’s property. In January 2023, we borrowed $10,000,000 under the Term Loan to fund our acquisition of the property leased to Plastic Products Company, Inc. and for general corporate purposes. As of February 28, 2023, we had availability under the Credit Facility, prior to any new properties being added to the borrowing base, of approximately $85,000,000 which can be drawn for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions.
While we intend for the Credit Facility to be our primary source of financing, we may continue to use mortgage debt financing for certain real estate investments and acquisitions. This financing may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time-to-time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs.
As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable on our operating properties was $44,515,009, and the outstanding principal balances of our Revolver and Term Loan were $3,000,000 and $150,000,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, our approximate 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable was $9,487,515, which is not included in our consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We had $8,608,649 of cash and no restricted cash as of December 31, 2022, as reported in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our cash and restricted cash, along with $150,000,000 of available capacity on our Revolver and $90,000,000 of available capacity on our Term Loan as of February 28, 2023, subject to our borrowing base covenant, along with proceeds from any future offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock, will primarily be used to invest in real estate and real estate-related investments or to re-lease and reposition our properties in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, including costs and fees associated with such investments, such as capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs. We also may use a portion of the proceeds from our offerings for payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness, reserves required by financings of our real estate investments and for general corporate purposes.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of stock-based compensation, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-offs of transaction costs and other one-time transactions. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance of the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, FFO and AFFO are not useful measures in evaluating NAV because impairments are taken into account in determining NAV but not in determining FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure. Furthermore, as described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the conversion ratios for Class M OP Units, Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units can increase if the specified performance hurdles are achieved, which would increase the fully-diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Distributions
Historically, the sources of cash used to pay our distributions have been from net rental income received and the waiver and deferral of management fees by our former advisor through December 31, 2019.
A table of distributions declared, distributions paid out, the impact on cash flows from operations and the source of distribution payments is disclosed in Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Distribution Information.
We expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of each month and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification standards.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The cash provided by operating activities of $16,648,821 for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily reflects adjustments to our net loss of $4,511,318 to exclude net non-cash charges of $23,209,673 related to depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, impairment of real estate property, stock compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and premium, write-off of purchase deposit, amortization of deferred lease incentives, and amortization of above market lease intangibles, which were partially offset by gain on sale of real estate investments, write-off of unrealized gain on interest rate swaps, amortization of below-market lease intangibles, amortization of deferred rents and undistributed income from our unconsolidated investment in a real estate property. Cash provided by operations also included distributions from our unconsolidated investment in real estate property of $211,921. The cash provided by operations was also offset in part by cash used to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,261,455 during the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to increases in tenant receivables and prepaid expenses and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities.
The cash provided by operating activities of $9,728,685 for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily reflects adjustments to our net loss of $435,505 to exclude net non-cash charges of $12,948,386 related to depreciation and amortization, impairment of intangible assets, stock compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing incentives, amortization of above-market lease intangibles and amortization of deferred rents, which were partially offset by gain on sale of real estate investments, amortization of below-market lease intangibles, unrealized gain on interest rate swap valuation, gain on forgiveness of economic relief note payable, reversal of impairment of real estate property and undistributed income from our unconsolidated investment in a real estate property. Cash provided by operations also included distributions from our unconsolidated investment in real estate property of $337,072. The cash provided by operations was offset in part by cash used to fund changes in operating assets and liabilities of $3,121,268 during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in note receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in tenant receivables and an increase in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities.
We continue to expect that our cash flows from operating activities will be positive in the next 12 months; however, there can be no assurance that this expectation will be realized.

Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2022, we owned (i) 46 operating properties (including one property held for sale); (ii) one parcel of land which currently serves as an easement to one of our industrial properties; and (iii) the TIC Interest. We acquired 16 and two operating properties in 2022 and 2021, respectively. We sold eight and five operating properties in 2022 and 2021, respectively, in accordance with our strategic plan to reduce our exposure to office and retail properties and increase our WALT by acquiring primarily industrial manufacturing properties generally with lease terms of 15+ years. We expect that rental income, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense will be higher on a year-over-year basis in 2023 due to our planned acquisitions. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we have significant unused capacity on our Credit Facility and expect to continue to acquire additional operating properties. We can provide no assurance that our plans for acquisitions, if any, will be successful in the near term.
The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the economy appears to have diminished and the general commercial real estate market appears to be recovering from COVID-19 impacts except for a continuing impact on commercial office properties due to the prevalence of employees working from home. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause significant disruption to certain tenants' business operations which may impact our results of operations and cash flows in ways that remain unpredictable in the foreseeable future; for example, increased demand for work-from-home arrangements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact the operations of our office properties. Additionally, a resurgence of COVID-19, including any future variants and resistance to currently available vaccines, or any future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our business operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.
We, our tenants and operating partners are also impacted by inflation and rising interest rates. According to the U.S. Labor Department, the annual inflation rate for the U.S. was 6% and 7% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the highest increases since June 1982. As a result, the Federal Reserve is expected to continue raising interest rates to try to rein in inflation, which may lead to a recession and will negatively impact our future results due to higher borrowing costs on any floating rate borrowing. However, as of February 28, 2023, 100% of our outstanding debt is at fixed rates as a result of the swap agreements entered into in May 2022 and October 2022. Furthermore, the prolonged Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as further retaliatory sanctions from the U.S. and its allies to Russia, may also exacerbate the already high inflation, continue to rattle the global economies and markets and worsen the fragile global supply chain.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2022 to the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Rental Income
Rental income, including tenant reimbursements, was $46,174,267 and $37,889,831 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Rental income during 2022 and 2021 included early termination fee revenue of $3,751,984 and $1,381,767, respectively. The 2022 early termination fee was related to an office property in Rancho Cordova, California leased to Sutter Health, which was subsequently leased to OES effective January 4, 2023, and the 2021 early termination fee was related to an industrial property in Cedar Park, Texas, leased to Dana Incorporated which was sold on July 7, 2021 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details on such transactions).
Excluding the early termination fee revenue in 2022 and 2021, rental income increased by $5,914,219, or 16%, as compared to 2021 primarily reflecting the rental income contribution from our acquisition of 16 properties during 2022, including the KIA auto dealership property in Carson, California in January 2022, and our acquisition of eight industrial properties leased to Lindsay Precast in April 2022, which contributed approximately 12.4% and 8.0% of our total rental income during 2022, respectively. Rental income from our 16 acquisitions in 2022, together with the rental income contributions of two properties acquired during the second half of 2021, was partially offset by the decrease in rental income from the sale of 13 non-core properties over the last 24 months. Our acquisitions and dispositions are detailed in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Pursuant to most of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay or reimburse all or a portion of the property operating expenses. Rental income includes tenant reimbursements of $6,596,244 and $5,807,634 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ABR of the operating properties owned as of December 31, 2022 was $33,667,366.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $7,812,057 and $9,715,067 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease of $1,903,010, or 20%, year-over-year primarily reflects personnel reductions and the resulting decrease in compensation to employees, reduced costs for technology services following our exit from the crowdfunding business in the first quarter of 2022 and reduced costs for professional services during the current year.
Stock Compensation Expense
Stock compensation expense was $2,401,022 and $2,744,881 for the years December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease of $343,859, or 13%, as compared with the prior year primarily reflects forfeitures related to employee terminations and resignations during the second half of 2021 and the first and third quarters of 2022.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $14,929,574 and $15,266,936, respectively. The purchase price of the acquired properties was allocated to tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities and is being depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. The decrease of $337,362, or 2%, year-over-year primarily reflects the absence of amortization of corporate intangibles of $1,556,347 in 2021. The corporate intangibles were impaired during the fourth quarter of 2021 in connection with our decision to exit the crowdfunding business. The absence of amortization of corporate intangibles during the current year was partially offset by the net increase on depreciation expense for acquisitions in excess of dispositions compared with the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest paid or payable to lenders on our property mortgages and Credit Facility, related amortization of deferred financing costs and unrealized gains and losses on swap valuations. Interest expense was $8,106,658 and $7,586,197 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (see Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the detail of the components of interest expense). On January 18, 2022, we used funds from our initial borrowing from our Credit Facility to pay off 20 existing property mortgages on 27 properties, the $36,465,449 mortgage on the KIA auto dealership property which we acquired on January 18, 2022 and repayment of our Prior Credit Facility and related interest, aggregating $153,428,764. In addition, four interest rate swap agreements related to four property mortgages were terminated in connection with the prepayment of the property mortgages. The increase in interest expense of $520,461, or 7%, year-over-year was primarily due to the year-over-year decrease in gains on interest rate swaps of $821,996, partially offset by the year-over-year decrease in interest expense paid or payable to the lenders and amortization of deferred financing costs. Following the purchase of a second interest rate swap on October 26, 2022, effective November 30, 2022, we have fixed our $250,000,000 Term Loan (including the additional $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment available as a result of our exercise of the accordion feature of our Credit Facility) at a weighted average interest rate of 4.33% when our leverage ratio is no more than 40%. The weighted average interest rate on our total debt outstanding of approximately $204.5 million as of February 28, 2023 is 4.05% based on our leverage ratio of 38% as of December 31, 2022.
Property Expenses
Property expenses were $8,899,626 and $6,880,993 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These expenses primarily relate to property taxes and repairs and maintenance expenses, the majority of which are reimbursed by tenants, along with write offs of legal and due diligence costs for abandoned pursuits of acquisitions. The increase of $2,018,633, or 29%, year-over-year primarily reflects increases in repairs and maintenance, property management fees and property taxes, the majority of which are reimbursed by tenants.
Impairment (Reversal of Impairment) of Real Estate Investment Property
Impairment of investment in real estate property of $2,080,727 for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects an impairment charge for a property located in Rocklin, California leased to Gap through February 28, 2023. We determined that the impairment charge was required, based on efforts initiated during the fourth quarter of 2022 to sell the property and its reclassification to asset held for sale as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details). Reversal of impairment of investment in real estate property of $400,999 for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects an adjustment to reduce the impairment charge recorded in December 2020 for the property located in Bedford, Texas due to its reclassification from held for sale to held for investment and use in June 2021.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Impairment charges for non-property intangible assets were $17,320,857 and $3,767,190 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The impairment of goodwill of $17,320,857 for year ended December 31, 2022 reflects the significant decline in the market value of our common stock since it began trading on the NYSE in February 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, management considered the fact that the trading price of our common stock caused our market capitalization to be below the book value of our equity as of March 31, 2022. Our stock price is materially below both our historical net asset value and the book value of our equity, reflecting the negative impacts of rising inflation and interest rates, declining office occupancy rates affecting owners of real estate properties and fears of a potential recession. We, therefore, reduced the carrying value of goodwill to zero as of March 31, 2022 (see Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details). The impairment of intangible assets of $3,767,190 for the year ended December 31, 2021 relates to the unamortized balance of intangible assets used to raise equity capital through our crowdfunding activities which were abandoned when we planned our Listed Offering in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investments, Net
The gain on sale of real estate investments, net was $12,196,371 and $6,136,588 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and relates to the sale of eight properties (six office, one flex and one retail) during the year ended December 31, 2022 and five properties (four retail and one industrial) during the year ended December 31, 2021 (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details on the gain on sale of real estate investments). Our 2022 and 2021 sales of real estate investments were primarily due to our strategic plan to reduce our exposure to office and retail properties and acquire industrial manufacturing properties with longer lease terms.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Interest income was $21,910 and $21,328 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property was $278,002 and $276,042 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This represents our approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in the Santa Clara, California property's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Gain on forgiveness of economic relief note payable of $517,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects the forgiveness in February 2021 of our economic relief note payable of $517,000 obtained in April 2020 under the terms of the Paycheck Protection Program of the Small Business Administration. There was no gain on forgiveness of economic relief note payable for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1,725,318 for the year ended December 31, 2022 reflects non-cash charges of $1,164,998 for deferred financing costs and prepayment penalties of $615,336 upon repayment of 20 mortgages on 27 properties, full repayment of our Prior Credit Facility and mortgage repayments related to four asset sales, as well as $733,000 of swap termination fees related to the four mortgage refinancings which were offset by the related write-off of unrealized swap valuation losses of $788,016 (see Notes 7 and 8 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). There was no loss on early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Other income of $93,971 and $283,971 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily reflects our monthly management fee from the entities that own the TIC Interest property which is equal to 0.1% of the total investment value of the property. The total management fee was $263,971 for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, of which our portion of expense relating to the TIC Interest was $191,933 for each year and is reflected as a component of income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 2022, management determined that straight-line rents receivable write-offs associated with real estate investments previously sold should be reclassified as a component of the related gain on sale of the real estate investments rather than as an offset to rental income as previously presented in our statements of operations. Accordingly, our statements of operations reflect an increase in rental income and a corresponding reduction in the gain on sale of real estate investments for the first three quarters of 2022 and the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021 as follows: first quarter of 2022, $525,691; second quarter of 2022, $282,030; and third quarter of 2022, $739,255; and first quarter of 2021, $51,123; third quarter of 2021, $683,606; and fourth quarter of 2021, $932,385. The reclassifications did not affect net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share in the unaudited quarterly condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details on such reclassification).
(2) The first quarter of 2022 includes the impact of the goodwill impairment charge of $17,320,857, non-recurring loan prepayment penalties of $615,336 and swap termination costs of $733,000. The fourth quarter of 2022 includes revenue from early termination fee of $3,751,984, partially offset by impairment of real estate investment property of $2,080,727.
(3) The first quarter of 2021 includes the impact of a gain of $517,000 on forgiveness of economic relief note payable loan. The second quarter of 2021 includes an impairment credit of $400,999 on the reclassification of a real estate investment to held for investment from held for sale in the second quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2021 includes an early termination fee of $1,381,767. The fourth quarter of 2021 includes the impact of intangible assets impairment charge of $3,767,190.

Extension of Leases
Effective January 12, 2022, we extended the lease terms of our Cummins office property located in Nashville, Tennessee from March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2024 with a 2% increase in annual rent commencing March 1, 2023. Cummins accepted the extension of the lease terms and possession of the property on an "AS-IS" basis. We also granted to Cummins an option to extend the lease term for an additional five years commencing March 1, 2024 and paid a leasing commission of $30,000 in connection with this extension.
Effective January 26, 2022, we extended the lease term of our ITW Rippey industrial property located in El Dorado Hills, California from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2029 with a 6% increase in annual rent commencing August 1, 2022 and 3% annual escalations thereafter. We also agreed to provide a tenant improvements allowance of $481,250 in connection with this extension and granted ITW Rippey an option to extend the lease term for an additional five years commencing August 1, 2029. On July 15, 2022, we agreed to allow ITW Rippey to utilize its tenant improvements allowance for any sums due under the lease.
Effective March 4, 2022, we extended the lease term of our Williams Sonoma office property located in Summerlin, Nevada from October 31, 2022 to October 31, 2025 with a 4% increase in annual rent commencing November 1, 2022 and 2.7% annual escalations thereafter. We also agreed to provide the tenant with one month of free rent, an inducement payment of $100,000 and tenant improvements allowance of $166,450 and paid a leasing commission of $90,383 in connection with this extension. The property leased to Williams Sonoma was sold on August 26, 2022.
On January 23, 2023, we executed a lease extension for the office property leased to Solar Turbines in San Diego, California for an additional two years through July 31, 2025 with a 14.0% increase in rent effective August 1, 2023 and a 3.0% increase in rent effective August 1, 2024. This is the third lease extension executed by Solar Turbines, which has occupied our property located in San Diego, California since 2008.
We are continuing to explore potential lease extensions for certain of our other properties.

Other than as discussed below, we do not have other plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to lease agreements, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had obligations to pay $1,789,027 and $189,136, respectively, for on-site and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2023 calendar year and will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flow or borrowings under our Credit Facility.
In addition, we have identified approximately $1,181,000 of roof and HVAC replacement, elevator upgrades and sealing and parking lot repairs/restriping that are expected to be completed in the next 12 months. Approximately $217,000 of these improvements are expected to be recoverable from the tenant through operating expense reimbursements. We will initially pay for the improvements, and the recoveries will be billed over an extended period of time according to the terms of the leases. The remaining costs of approximately $964,000 are not recoverable from tenants. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flows, or borrowings under our Credit Facility. More information on our properties and investments can be found in Part I, Item 2. Properties of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion below is regarding the accounting policies that management believes are or will be critical to our operations. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may have utilized different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities
We account for the noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership in accordance with the related accounting guidance. Due to our control of the Operating Partnership through our general partnership interest therein and the limited rights of the limited partners, the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with us, and the limited partner interests not held by us are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity. Other than the noncontrolling interests related to an “UPREIT” transaction, all other noncontrolling interests currently represent non-voting, non-distribution accruing interests with no allocation of profits or losses, but have various conversion rights to obtain future rights to distributions and allocation of profits and losses.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with FASB ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”), which includes revenue generated by sales of real estate, other operating income and tenant reimbursements for substantial services earned at our properties. Such revenues are recognized when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. Tenant reimbursements, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, property taxes and other recoverable costs, are recognized in rental income subsequent to the adoption of Topic 842, as discussed below, in the period the recoverable costs are incurred. Tenant reimbursements, for which we pay the associated costs directly to third-party vendors and is reimbursed by the tenants, are recognized and recorded on a gross basis.
We account for leases in accordance with FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and the related FASB ASU Nos. 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01, which provide practical expedients, technical corrections and improvements for certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 (collectively “Topic 842”). Topic 842 established a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for leases. Topic 842 applies to all entities that enter into leases. Lessees are required to report assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Lessor accounting has largely remained unchanged; however, certain refinements are made to conform with revenue recognition guidance, specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. Topic 842 impacts our accounting for leases primarily as a lessor. Topic 842 also impacts our accounting as a lessee; however, such impact is not considered material.
As a lessor, our leases with tenants generally provide for the lease of real estate properties, as well as common area maintenance, property taxes and other recoverable costs. To reflect recognition as one lease component, rental income and tenant reimbursements and other lease related property income that meet the requirements of the practical expedient provided by ASU No. 2018-11 have been combined under rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents
We recognize rental income from tenants under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the lease when collectability of such amounts is reasonably assured. Recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis includes the effects of rental abatements, lease incentives and fixed and determinable increases in lease payments over the lease term. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, our management determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us.
When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that the tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
•whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
Tenant reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred and presented gross if we are the primary obligor and, with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk. In instances where the operating lease agreement has an early termination option, the termination penalty is based on a predetermined termination fee or based on the unamortized tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We evaluate the collectability of rents and other receivables on a regular basis based on factors including, among others, payment history, credit rating, the asset type, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates we may not recover the full value of the receivable, we provide an allowance against the portion of the receivable that we estimate may not be recovered. This analysis requires us to determine whether there are factors indicating a receivable may not be fully collectible and to estimate the amount of the receivable that may not be collected.
Bad Debts and Allowances for Tenant and Deferred Rent Receivables
Our determination of the adequacy of our allowances for tenant receivables includes a binary assessment of whether or not the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For such amounts that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For such amounts that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination. In addition, for tenant and deferred rent receivables deemed probable of collection, we also may record an allowance under other authoritative GAAP depending upon our evaluation of the individual receivables, specific credit enhancements, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Such allowances are recorded as increases or decreases through rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.
With respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, we will record a bad debt allowance for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until either cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.
Gain or Loss on Sale of Real Estate Investments
We recognize gain or loss on sale of real estate property when we have executed a contract for sale of the property, transferred controlling financial interest in the property to the buyer and determined that it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration for the property. When properties are sold, operating results of the properties remain in continuing operations, and any associated gain or loss from the disposition is included in gain or loss on sale of real estate investments in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. We expect to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including meeting various tests regarding the nature of our assets and our income, the ownership of our outstanding stock and distribution of at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy, which is based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, is as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of our financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. We evaluate several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents; restricted cash; receivable from early termination of lease; tenant receivables; prepaid expenses and other assets; accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Derivative instruments: Our derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a third-party's proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, we classify these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit risks to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.
Goodwill: The fair value measurements of goodwill is considered Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurements. For goodwill, fair value measurement involves the determination of fair value of a reporting unit.
Credit facilities: The fair value of our credit facilities approximates their carrying values as their interest rates and other terms are comparable to those available in the market place for similar credit facilities.
71
Table of Contents
Mortgage notes payable: The fair value of our mortgage notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. We classify these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
Related party transactions: We have concluded that it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of related party transactions. Disclosure rules for fair value measurements require that for financial instruments for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, information pertinent to those instruments be disclosed. Further information as to these financial instruments with related parties is included in Note 10 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Real Estate Investments
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
We record acquisitions that meet the definition of a business as a business combination. If the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, we record the acquisition as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their acquisition-date fair values. Transaction costs that are related to a business combination are charged to expense as incurred. Transaction costs that are related to an asset acquisition are capitalized as incurred.
We assess the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods. We amortize the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income (loss).

Table of Contents
Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and depreciated or amortized over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset and are expensed as incurred. Significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be generally as follows:
| . | Buildings | 10-48 years |
|---|---|---|
| . | Site improvements | Shorter of 15 years or remaining lease term |
| . | Tenant improvements | Shorter of 15 years or remaining lease term |
| . | Industrial equipment | 20 years |
| . | Tenant origination and absorption costs, and above-/below-market lease intangibles | Remaining lease term |
Impairment of Investment in Real Estate Properties
We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate properties may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the real estate properties will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. If, based on the analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate properties, we will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate properties.
Leasing Costs
We account for leasing costs under Topic 842. Initial direct costs would include only those costs that are incremental to the lease arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. We charge to expense internal leasing costs and third-party legal leasing costs as incurred. These expenses are included in general and administrative expense and property expenses, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
We consider a real estate investment to be “held for sale” when the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for sale immediately, (iii) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, (iv) the sale of the property within one year is considered probable and (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are not expected. Real estate that is held for sale and its related assets are classified as “real estate investments held for sale, net” and “assets related to real estate investments held for sale,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage notes payable and other liabilities related to real estate investments held for sale are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to real estate investments held for sale, net” and “liabilities related to real estate investments held for sale,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Real estate investments classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated and are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Operating results of properties that were classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business are included in continuing operations in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Unconsolidated Investment
We account for investments in an entity over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, an investment is initially recognized at cost and is subsequently adjusted to reflect our share of earnings or losses of the investee. The investment is also increased for additional amounts invested and decreased for any distributions received from the investee. Equity method investment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. If an equity method investment is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the investment is reduced to fair value and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction to earnings.
73
Table of Contents
Goodwill
We record goodwill when the purchase price of a business combination exceeds the estimated fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for possible impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other, on an annual basis, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely than not declined below its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.
In assessing goodwill impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Our qualitative assessment of the recoverability of goodwill considers various macro-economic, industry-specific and company-specific factors. These factors include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization below its net book value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is unlikely that the fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis is unnecessary. However, if we concluded otherwise, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative analysis, then it is required that we perform a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired; otherwise, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the lesser of: (a) the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; or (b) the amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge our exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates on our variable rate debt. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. We record derivative instruments at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. If the derivative instrument meets the hedge accounting criteria, the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument may be designated as a cash flow hedge where the unrealized holding gain or loss on the interest rate swap is presented in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive income in our balance sheets. If the derivative instrument does not meet the hedge accounting criteria, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded as a gain or loss on the interest rate swap and included in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
We enter into interest rate swaps as a fixed rate payer to mitigate our exposure to rising interest rates on our variable rate term loan. The value of interest rate swaps is primarily impacted by interest rates, market expectations about interest rates, and the remaining life of the instrument. In general, increases in interest rates, or anticipated increases in interest rates, will increase the value of the fixed rate payer position and decrease the value of the variable rate payer position. As the remaining life of the interest rate swap decreases, the value of both positions will generally move towards zero. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
Historically, the fair values of the Operating Partnership's units or restricted stock unit awards issued or granted by us were based on the estimated NAV per share (unaudited) of our common stock on the date of issuance or grant, adjusted for an illiquidity discount due to the illiquid nature of the underlying equity prior to the listing of our Class C Common Stock on the NYSE. The fair value of future grants of the Operating Partnership's units or restricted stock unit awards will be determined based on the NYSE's market closing price of our Class C Common Stock on the date of grant. Operating Partnership units issued as purchase consideration in connection with the Self-Management Transaction and UPREIT Transaction (each defined and discussed in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) are recorded in equity under noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For units granted to our employees that are not included in the purchase consideration, the fair value of the award is amortized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. We have elected to record forfeitures as they occur.
74
Table of Contents
We determine the accounting classification of equity instruments (e.g., restricted stock units) that are issued as purchase consideration or part of the purchase consideration in a business combination, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the equity instruments meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480-10”), and then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 480-10, equity instruments are classified as liabilities if the equity instruments are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the equity instruments or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require an unconditional obligation that must be settled by issuing a variable number of shares.
If equity instruments do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, we assess the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the equity instruments do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, we assess whether the equity instruments are indexed to our common stock and whether the equity instruments are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP guidance. After all relevant assessments are made, we conclude whether the equity instruments are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified equity instruments are accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations as a gain or loss. Equity classified equity instruments are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Recent Market Conditions
There are continuing uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to supply chain disruptions, inflation and increases in interest rates, along with negative impacts associated with the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine and sanctions which have been implemented by the United States and other countries against Russia. Volatility in stock and bond markets, particularly the rise in yields on U.S. Treasury securities during 2022, may negatively impact our operating results.
In addition, although the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy appear to have diminished and the general commercial real estate market appears to be recovering from such impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in utilization of office properties and uncertainty over how tenants of office properties will respond when their leases are scheduled to expire.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. Excluding the property formerly leased to Gap which is in escrow and scheduled to be sold by the end of March 2023, we have two leases (one industrial and one office) scheduled to expire in the next 12 months, which comprise an aggregate of 163,230 leasable square feet and represent approximately 5.1% of ABR as of December 31, 2022. As tenants, particularly in office properties, reevaluate their use of such properties in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including their ability to have workers succeed in working at home, they may determine not to renew these leases or to seek rent or other concessions as a condition of renewing their leases.
Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. However, we successfully negotiated lease extensions for four properties during 2022 and January 2023.

The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, Federal Reserve policy, the prolonged impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, market sentiment or regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. In January 2022, we refinanced all but four of our properties (including the TIC Interest) with proceeds from our Credit Facility which includes floating rates based on SOFR and our leverage ratio as described above. The mortgage on our Rancho Cordova, California property does not mature until March 9, 2024 and the other three mortgages do not mature until after September 2027. All four of these mortgages are at fixed rates. As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into during 2022, 100% of our indebtedness as of February 28, 2023 holds a fixed interest rate. The weighted average interest rate on the total debt outstanding of $204.5 million as of February 28, 2023 was 4.05% based on our 38% leverage ratio as of December 31, 2022. Our Revolver does not mature until January 18, 2026 and can be extended for an additional 12 months thereafter, and our Term Loan does not mature until January 18, 2027. On October 21, 2022, our Credit Facility was increased to $400 million and is now comprised of a $150 million Revolver and a $250 million Term Loan. Our Credit Facility includes an updated accordion option that allows us to request additional Revolver and Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750 million.
Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Also, see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors herein.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation with issued and outstanding stock consisting of Series A Preferred Stock, publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.PA,” and Class C Common Stock, publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV.” We acquire, own and actively manage single-tenant net-lease industrial, retail and office properties throughout the United States, with a focus on strategically important and mission critical properties with predominantly investment grade tenants. We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2016. We believe that we have operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Through various transactions, including the Merger, we created one of the largest non-listed REITs to be raised via crowdfunding technology. Since December 31, 2019, we have been internally managed, as further described below. Driven by innovation, an investor-first focus and an experienced management team, Modiv leveraged its history as a real estate crowdfunding pioneer to create an approximate $500 million (based on estimated fair value) real estate portfolio comprised of approximately 2.4 million square feet of income-producing real estate. As of December 31, 2021, we have a portfolio of 38 commercial real estate properties in 14 states, comprised of 12 industrial properties, including the approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in a 91,740 square foot Santa Clara, California industrial property, 12 retail properties and 14 office properties as discussed in Notes 3 and 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2021, after reflecting lease extensions through the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 69% of our tenants (based on ABR) are investment grade, our ABR was $28,914,077, all of our properties are 100% leased and our WALT was 6.3 years.
On a pro forma basis (unaudited), after giving effect to the recently completed acquisitions of a retail property leased to a KIA auto dealership on Interstate 405 in Carson, California and an industrial property in Saint Paul, Minnesota in January 2022, and the sales of three office properties and one industrial property in February 2022, we now own 36 properties including 12 industrial properties, including the TIC Interest, which represent approximately 40% of the portfolio, 13 retail properties, which represent approximately 21% of the portfolio, and 11 office properties, which represent approximately 39% of the portfolio (expressed as a percentage of ABR as of December 31, 2021). Approximately 56% of our tenants (based on pro forma ABR (unaudited)) are investment grade, our pro forma ABR (unaudited) was $30,406,425, all of our properties are 100% leased and our pro forma WALT was 9.2 years (unaudited) as of December 31, 2021.
Although we are not limited as to the form our investments may take, our investments in real estate will generally constitute acquiring fee title or interests in entities that own and operate real estate. We will make substantially all acquisitions of our real estate investments directly through the Operating Partnership or indirectly through limited liability companies or limited partnerships, including through other REITs, or through investments in joint ventures, partnerships, tenants-in-common, co-tenancies or other co-ownership arrangements with other owners of properties, some of which may be affiliated with us or our executive officers or directors. We are the sole general partner of, and owned an approximately 86% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership on December 31, 2021. Following our acquisition of the KIA auto dealership property in an “UPREIT” transaction that included the issuance of 1,312,382 Class C OP Units to the seller, we own an approximately 73% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s limited partners include holders of several classes of units with various vesting and enhancement terms as further described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On November 4, 2021, our board of directors reviewed and approved management’s recommendation to seek a listing of our Class C Common Stock on a national securities exchange in early 2022, subject to market conditions. In preparation for seeking a listing on a national securities exchange, our board of directors also approved management’s recommendation to terminate our Reg A Offering, effective upon the close of business on November 24, 2021, and to terminate our Prior SRPs. Our Class C Common Stock is now listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV” and has been trading since February 11, 2022. We completed our Listed Offering of 40,000 shares at a price of $25.00 per share on February 15, 2022 and sold all 40,000 shares to a related party (see Note 13 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details). We intend to maintain our monthly distributions and the ability for investors to reinvest their distributions via our Second Amended and Restated DRP. Our five-year emerging growth company registration with the SEC ended on December 31, 2021 but we will continue to report with the SEC as a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Self-Management Transaction and Merger on December 31, 2019
We were externally managed through December 31, 2019, by our former external advisor. On December 31, 2019, we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of our former external advisor and our former sponsor in exchange for units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result of such acquisition, we became self-managed and eliminated all fees for acquisitions, dispositions and management of our properties, which were previously paid to our former external advisor.

On December 31, 2019, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 19, 2019, REIT I merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving as our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result, we issued 2,680,740.0 shares of our Class C Common Stock to former stockholders of REIT I. On December 31, 2020, Merger Sub was merged into the Operating Partnership and ceased to exist.
Common Stock Offerings
On July 15, 2015, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-205684) with the SEC to register an initial public offering of a maximum of 30,000,000 of our shares of common stock for sale to the public. We also registered a maximum of 3,333,333 of our shares of common stock pursuant to our DRP. During 2016, the SEC declared our registration statement effective and we began offering shares of common stock to the public through a dealer manager registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Pursuant to the Initial Registered Offering, we sold shares of Class C Common Stock directly to investors, with a minimum investment in shares of $500. Commencing in August 2017, we began selling shares of our Class C Common Stock only to U.S. persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act, and began selling shares of our Class S Common Stock as a result of the commencement of the Class S Offering to non-U.S. Persons.
In August 2017, we began offering up to 33,333,333 shares of Class S Common Stock exclusively to non-U.S. Persons as defined under Rule 903 promulgated under the Securities Act, pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Class S Common Stock had similar features and rights as our Class C Common Stock, including with respect to voting and liquidation, except that the Class S Common Stock offered in the Class S Offering was only authorized to be sold to non-U.S. Persons and was able to be sold through brokers or other persons who were able to be paid upfront and deferred selling commissions and fees. The Class S Offering was discontinued at the end of January 2020 except for existing investors’ participation in our DRP. Our Class S Common Stock was converted to Class C Common Stock in connection with our Listed Offering.
On December 23, 2019, we commenced the Follow-on Offering of up to $800,000,000 in share value of Class C Common Stock, including $725,000,000 in share value of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the primary portion of the Follow-on Offering and $75,000,000 in share value of Class C Common Stock pursuant to our DRP. We ceased offering shares pursuant to the Initial Registered Offering concurrently with the commencement of the Follow-on Offering.
On January 22, 2021, with the authorization of our board of directors, we amended and restated our DRP with respect to our shares of Class C Common Stock in order to reflect our corporate name change and to remove the ability of our stockholders to elect to reinvest only a portion of their cash distributions in shares through the DRP so that investors who elect to participate in the DRP must reinvest all cash distributions in shares. In addition, the amended and restated DRP provided for determinations by our board of directors of the estimated NAV per share more frequently than annually. The amended and restated DRP was effective with respect to distributions that were paid in February 2021.
On January 22, 2021, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-252321) to register a maximum of $100,000,000 of additional shares of Class C Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the amended and restated DRP. We commenced offering shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the 2021 DRP Offering upon termination of the Follow-on Offering.
Effective January 27, 2021, with the approval of our board of directors, we terminated the Follow-on Offering. In connection with the termination of the Follow-on Offering, we stopped accepting investor subscriptions on January 22, 2021. As of January 27, 2021, we had $600,547,672 in share value of unsold shares in the Follow-on Offering, which were deregistered with the SEC.
On February 1, 2021, we commenced the Private Offering and accepted investor subscriptions from only accredited investors until we terminated the Private Offering on August 12, 2021.
On June 29, 2021, we filed with the SEC a Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A, including our preliminary offering circular, for a $75,000,000 offering of our Class C Common Stock and filed an amended Form 1-A on August 13, 2021. The SEC qualified the amended Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A on August 16, 2021. We terminated the Reg A Offering effective upon the close of business on November 24, 2021, given our plan to seek a listing of our Class C Common Stock on a national securities exchange in early 2022, as discussed above.
On November 2, 2021, our board of directors terminated the Reg A Offering effective upon the close of business on November 24, 2021 and directed management to seek the listing of our Class C Common Stock on a national securities exchange in early 2022. Our board of directors also terminated the Prior SRPs effective November 24, 2021.

On December 8, 2021, we filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-261529), and, on February 9, 2022, we filed with the SEC Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-11, in connection with the Listed Offering of our Class C Common Stock, which became effective on February 10, 2022. In connection with and upon the listing of our Class C Common Stock on the NYSE, each share of our Class S Common Stock was converted into a share of Class C Common Stock. Our Listed Offering of our Class C Common Stock closed on February 15, 2022. In connection with our Listed Offering, we sold 40,000 shares of our Class C Common Stock at $25.00 per share to a related party (see Note 13 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details).
On February 15, 2022, our board of directors amended and restated our DRP with respect to the Class C Common Stock to change the purchase price at which the Class C Common Stock is issued to stockholders who elect to participate in the DRP. The purpose of this change was to reflect the fact that our Class C Common Stock is now listed on the NYSE. As more fully described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP, the purchase price for our Class C Common Stock under the DRP depends on whether we issue new shares to DRP participants or we or any third-party administrator obtains shares to be issued to DRP participants by purchasing them in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The purchase price for Class C Common Stock issued directly by us will be 97% (or such other discount as may then be in effect) of the Market Price (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) of the Class C Common Stock. This discount is subject to change from time to time, in our sole discretion, but will be between 0% to 5% of the Market Price. The purchase price for the Class C Common Stock that we or any third-party administrator purchases from parties other than the Company, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, will be 100% of the “average price per share” (as described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) actually paid for such shares of Class C Common Stock, excluding any processing fees. The Second Amended and Restated DRP also reflects the $0.05 per share of processing fees that will be paid by DRP participants for each share of Class C Common Stock purchased through the DRP. The Second Amended and Restated DRP was effective beginning with distributions paid in February 2022.
On February 15, 2022, our board of directors authorized up to $20,000,000 in repurchases of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2022. Purchases made pursuant to the program will be made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any other manner as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by us at our discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Preferred Stock Offering
On September 14, 2021, we and the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Preferred Stock Underwriting Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative of the underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Preferred Stock Underwriters”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell 1,800,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering (the “Preferred Offering”) at a price per share of $25.00. In addition, we granted the Preferred Stock Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 200,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, which the Preferred Stock Underwriters exercised in full on September 16, 2021. The issuance and sale of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, including the issuance and sale of an additional 200,000 shares pursuant to the Preferred Stock Underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, closed on September 17, 2021. The gross proceeds from the Preferred Offering were $50,000,000 and the net proceeds were $47,607,309, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1,575,000 and other offering expenses of $817,691, which included the structuring fee of $250,000 (see Note 9 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by offerings of shares of our Class C Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and bank borrowings from financial institutions and mortgage indebtedness on our properties, and by assets sales and internally generated funds. Our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses and distributions will generally be funded by internally generated funds. Proceeds from the prior offerings of our common stock and debt financings have also been used to fund repurchases of common stock through our Prior SRPs and for the repurchase of shares in the open market as discussed above.
On March 29, 2021, we entered into a credit facility with Banc of California (the “Prior Credit Facility”) for an aggregate line of credit of $22,000,000, including a $17,000,000 revolving line of credit for real estate acquisitions and an additional $5,000,000 revolving line of credit for working capital, with a maturity date of March 30, 2023. The Prior Credit Facility replaced our prior $12,000,000 credit facility provided by Pacific Mercantile Bank (“PMB” and such credit facility, the “PMB Credit Facility”), which had a balance outstanding of $6,000,000 as of December 31, 2020. After our initial draw of $6,000,000 to fund the repayment of the PMB Credit Facility on March 31, 2021, and subsequent repayments of $3,000,000 in June 2021 and $1,500,000 each in July and August 2021, we had $17,000,000 available to finance real estate acquisitions and $5,000,000 available for working capital purposes. We paid Banc of California origination fees of $77,000 in connection with the Prior Credit

Facility. Under the terms of the Prior Credit Facility, we paid a variable rate of interest on outstanding amounts equal to one percentage point over the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal, provided that the interest rate in effect on any one day was not to be less than 4.75% per annum. We paid an unused commitment fee of 0.15% per annum of the unused portion of the Prior Credit Facility, charged quarterly in arrears based on the average unused commitment available under the Prior Credit Facility.
The Prior Credit Facility was secured by substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property. The Prior Credit Facility required us to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 and minimum tangible NAV (as defined in the loan agreement) of $120,000,000, measured quarterly. Mr. Raymond E. Wirta, our former Chairman, and the Wirta Family Trust, guaranteed the $6,000,000 initial borrowing, which was due by September 30, 2021. This guarantee expired upon the full repayment of the $6,000,000 in August 2021. Mr. Wirta and the Wirta Family Trust also guaranteed the $5,000,000 revolving line of credit for working capital. On March 29, 2021, we entered into an updated indemnification agreement with Mr. Wirta and the Wirta Family Trust with respect to their guarantees of borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility.
On January 18, 2022, our Operating Partnership entered into a Credit Agreement providing for a $100,000,000 four-year revolving line of credit, which may be extended by up to 12 months subject to certain conditions (the “Revolver”), and a $150,000,000 five-year term loan (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolver, the “Facility”), with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), KeyBank as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), BMO Capital Markets, Truist Bank and The Huntington National Bank, as Co-Syndication Agents, and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., BMO Capital Markets, Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and The Huntington National Bank, as Joint-Lead Arrangers. The Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness and capital expenditures.
On January 18, 2022, we borrowed $100,000,000 under the Term Loan and $55,775,000 under the Revolver and used the proceeds from the Facility to repay our previous line of credit, existing mortgages and related interest aggregating $153,428,764, including the mortgage on the KIA property which was acquired on January 18, 2022. We also used proceeds from the Facility to pay total commitment and arrangement fees of $2,020,000 to the Agent, the Lenders, the Joint-Lead Arrangers and Co-Syndication Agents. The Facility is priced on a leverage-based pricing grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio. If our leverage ratio is below or equal to 50%, the interest rate on the Revolver would be 175 basis points over SOFR plus a ten (10) basis point credit adjustment, which would equate to a floating interest rate of 1.90% as of December 31, 2021.
The Facility is secured by a pledge of all of our Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) that are indirectly owned by us, and various cash collateral owned by our Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Facility includes customary covenants, including minimum fixed charge coverage of 1.50x, minimum tangible net worth of $208,629,727 plus 85% of offering proceeds and maximum leverage of 60% of our borrowing base. In connection with the Facility, we and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which we and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of our Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement. While the Facility allows for borrowings up to 60% of our borrowing base and our board of directors has approved a maximum leverage ratio of 55% of the aggregate fair value of our real estate properties plus our cash and cash equivalents, over the near term we are targeting leverage of 40% with a long term goal of lower leverage, and we do not plan to allow our leverage ratio to exceed 45% in order to minimize the interest rate payable on the Revolver and Term Loan. We also have the right to increase the Facility to a maximum of $500,000,000, subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of new commitments from the Lenders.
Our aggregate borrowings, secured and unsecured, must be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets. Our maximum leverage as defined and approved by our board of directors is 55% of the aggregate fair value of our real estate properties, plus our cash and cash equivalents. We use available leverage based on the relative cost of debt and equity capital, and to address strategic borrowing advantages potentially available to us. Our borrowings on one or more individual properties may exceed 55% of their individual cost, so long as our overall leverage does not exceed 55% of the aggregate fair value of our real estate properties, plus our cash and cash equivalents. There is no limitation on the amount we may borrow for the purchase of any single asset. As of December 31, 2021, our leverage ratio was 40%.
We may borrow amounts from our affiliates including directors and executive officers if such loan is approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in the transaction, as being fair, competitive, commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than comparable loans between unaffiliated parties under the circumstances.

While we intend for the Facility to be our primary source of financing, we may continue to use mortgage debt financing for certain real estate investments and acquisitions. This financing may be obtained at the time an asset is acquired or an investment is made or at such later time as determined to be appropriate. In addition, debt financing may be used from time-to-time for property improvements, lease inducements, tenant improvements and other working capital needs.
As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable on our operating properties was $152,975,437, excluding mortgage notes related to assets held for sale of $22,036,319, and the outstanding principal balance of our revolving credit facility was $8,022,000. As of December 31, 2021, our approximately 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable was $9,709,710, which is not included in our consolidated balance sheets in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We had approximately $65,000,000 of cash and restricted cash as of February 28, 2022, primarily from remaining funds from our Preferred Offering and the sales of real estate investments in February 2022 which were classified as held for sale in our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. On March 8, 2022, we used $35,000,000 of our cash on hand to prepay a portion of our Revolver. Our cash and restricted cash, along with approximately $80,000,000 of available capacity on our Revolver and proceeds from future offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock will primarily be used to invest in real estate and real estate-related investments or to re-lease and reposition our properties in accordance with our investment strategy and policies, including costs and fees associated with such investments, such as capital expenditures, tenant improvement costs and leasing costs. We also may use a portion of the proceeds from our offerings for payment of principal on our outstanding indebtedness, reserves required by financings of our real estate investments and for general corporate purposes.
Refinancing Transactions and Sale of Real Estate Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we refinanced the following mortgage notes, which were all subsequently repaid through the new Facility on January 18, 2022:

The refund is an adjustment to the estimate of the amount which was expected to be received.

On February 11, 2022, we completed our sale of two medical office properties located in Dallas, Texas and Richmond, Virginia leased to Texas Health and Bon Secours, respectively, and one medical industrial property in Richmond, Virginia leased to Omnicare for an aggregate sales price of $26,000,000, which generated net proceeds of $11,883,639 after payment of commissions, closing costs and existing mortgages.
On February 24, 2022, we completed our sale of a medical office property in Orlando, Florida leased to Accredo for a sale price of $14,000,000, which generated net proceeds of $5,000,941 after payment of commissions, closing costs and repayment of the existing mortgage.
Sales Pursuant to Our Private Offering and Our Reg A Offering
We commenced the Private Offering to accredited investors only under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act on February 1, 2021, and during the period from February 1, 2021 to August 11, 2021, we sold 36,207 shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Private Offering for aggregate proceeds of $851,273. We terminated the Private Offering on August 12, 2021.
On June 29, 2021, we filed with the SEC a Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A, including our preliminary offering circular, for a $75,000,000 offering of our Class C Common Stock and filed an amended Form 1-A on August 13, 2021. The SEC qualified the amended Regulation A Offering Statement on Form 1-A on August 16, 2021. The Reg A Offering allowed us to once again accept subscriptions from investors who were not accredited. On November 2, 2021, our board of directors reviewed and approved management’s recommendation to terminate the Reg A Offering effective upon the close of business on November 24, 2021. During the period from August 16, 2021 to November 24, 2021, we sold 73,802 shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant to the Reg A Offering for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,949,512.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Our Capital Resources
Uncertainties over the future utilization of office and retail properties which arose as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting decrease in our NAV per share as of April 30, 2020 and the reduction in our distribution rate in May 2020 severely impacted our ability to raise capital through our common stock offerings. From January 1, 2021 through November 2, 2021, we raised approximately $8,900,000 through our common stock offerings, including our DRP, a 50% decrease compared with approximately $17,900,000 raised during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, share repurchases increased from approximately $17,600,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020 to approximately $19,100,000 from January 1, 2021 through November 24, 2021.
In April 2020, one of our subsidiaries was successful in obtaining a $517,000 loan through the Small Business Administration’s (the “SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was funded by PMB on April 20, 2020. In December 2020, our subsidiary submitted its application for forgiveness of the total amount of the loan to PMB. After PMB’s review, our subsidiary updated its forgiveness application on February 10, 2021. PMB submitted the application to the SBA on February 10, 2021, and on February 16, 2021, our subsidiary was notified by PMB that its application for forgiveness of the PPP loan had been approved by the SBA in the full amount of $517,000. Accordingly, the forgiveness of the PPP loan is reflected in other income for the year ended December 31, 2021 in our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable, including mortgage notes payable related to real estate investments held for sale, and our unsecured revolving credit facility were $175,011,756 and $8,022,000, respectively. On January 18, 2022, we refinanced an aggregate of $108,178,317, representing 20 property mortgages. The 20 mortgages that were paid off were for the following 27 properties: eight Dollar Generals (including Dollar General, California and Dollar General, Big Spring), Northrop Grumman, exp Maitland, Wyndham, Williams Sonoma, EMCOR, Husqvarna, AvAir, 3M, Cummins, Levins, Labcorp, GSA (MHSA), PreK Education, ITW Rippey, Solar Turbines, Wood Group, Gap, L3Harris and Walgreens. After the 20 property mortgages were paid-off, seven property mortgages as of December 31, 2021 remained outstanding, including four property mortgages related to the assets held for sale. Those four mortgages were paid off pursuant to sales of the properties in February 2022. The principal portion of our remaining mortgage notes payable as of December 31, 2021 after the January 2022 refinancing and February 2022 sales was $44,797,120, including $304,320 due during 2022.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of stock-based compensation, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, acquisition-related costs, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-offs of transaction costs and other one-time transactions.
We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance of the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies.
Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, FFO and AFFO are not useful measures in evaluating NAV because impairments are taken into account in determining NAV but not in determining FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income (loss) from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure. Furthermore, as described in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the conversion ratios for Class M OP Units, Class P OP Units and Class R OP Units can increase if the specified performance hurdles are achieved.

(1) Management, based on further evaluation, concluded that impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $34,572,403 recognized in the year ended December 31, 2020 should have been included in the calculation of AFFO but not FFO. As such, that amount was reclassified in the table above to be included only in AFFO in order to conform to the current year presentation.
(2) Includes the Class M, Class P and pro rata Class R OP Units to compute the weighted average number of shares.

Distributions
Historically, the sources of cash used to pay our distributions have been from net rental income received and the waiver and deferral of management fees by our former advisor through December 31, 2019. The leases for certain of our real estate acquisitions may provide for rent abatements. These abatements are an inducement for the tenant to enter into or extend the term of its lease. In connection with the acquisition of some properties, we may be able to negotiate a reduced purchase price for the acquired property in an amount that equals the previously agreed-upon rent abatement. During the period of any rent abatement on properties that we acquire, we may be unable to fully fund our distributions from net rental income received. In connection with the extension of the lease term of some properties, we may agree to pay a lease extension fee. In those events, we may expand the sources of cash used to fund our stockholder distributions to include proceeds from the sale of our common stock, but only during the periods, and up to the amounts, of any rent abatements where we are able to negotiate a reduced purchase price or pay lease extension fees.
A table of distributions declared, distributions paid out, the impact on cash flows from operations and the source of distribution payments is disclosed in Part II, Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities - Distribution Information.
Going forward, we expect that our board of directors will continue to declare distributions based on a single record date as of the end of the month and to pay these distributions on a monthly basis. Distributions will be determined by our board of directors based on our financial condition and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. We have not established a minimum dividend or distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make dividends or distributions to our stockholders other than as necessary to meet REIT qualification standards.
Cash Flow Summary

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $9,728,685 and $5,577,576 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily reflects adjustments to our net loss of $435,505 for distributions from an unconsolidated investment in a real estate property of $337,072; net non-cash charges for write-off of abandoned intangible assets of $3,767,190; and net non-cash charges of $7,514,084 primarily related to depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of deferred lease incentives, amortization of above-market lease intangibles and amortization of deferred rents, which were partially offset by gain on sale of real estate investments, amortization of below-market lease intangibles, unrealized gain on interest rate swap valuation, gain on forgiveness of economic relief note payable, reversal of impairment of real estate property and undistributed income from our unconsolidated investment in a real estate property. The cash provided by operations was also offset in part by cash used due to changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,454,156 during the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in note receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by a decrease in tenant receivable and an increase in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities.
The cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily reflects adjustments to our net loss of $49,141,910 for distributions from our unconsolidated investment in a real estate property of $683,000; net non-cash charges for impairment of goodwill, intangible assets and impairment of real estate investment property aggregating $44,840,028 due to the COVID-19 pandemic; and net non-cash charges of $12,762,668 primarily related to depreciation and amortization, unrealized loss on interest rate swap valuation, amortization of deferred financing costs, stock compensation expense, and amortization of above-market lease intangibles, which were partially offset by gain on sale of real estate investments, amortization of deferred rents, amortization of below-market lease intangibles and undistributed income from our unconsolidated investment in a real estate property. The cash provided by operations was also offset in part by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $3,566,210 during the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increases in prepaid expenses and other assets and decreases in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and amounts due to affiliates, offset in part by a decrease in tenant receivables.

Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2021, we owned (i) 38 operating properties (including four operating properties held for sale); (ii) one parcel of land which currently serves as an easement to one of our office properties; and (iii) the TIC Interest. We acquired two operating properties in 2021 and made no acquisitions in 2020 due to the COVID -19 pandemic. Also due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we sold five operating properties in both years 2021 and 2020 to support share repurchase payments and provide additional liquidity to our stockholders. We expect that rental income, tenant reimbursements, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense will be higher on a year-over-year basis due to our expected execution of acquisitions and initiatives for our growth strategy. Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we have significant unused capacity on our Revolver and expect to continue to raise capital through future offerings of our Class C Common Stock and acquire additional operating properties. We make no assurance that our future offerings of our Class C Common Stock, if any, will be successful in the near term.
Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, including the spread of the Delta and Omicron variants, in the United States and globally, our tenants and operating partners continue to be impacted, although the pandemic's impact on the economy appears to have diminished and the general commercial real estate market appears to be recovering. The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Delta, Omicron and other future variants on our future results will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information regarding mutations of COVID-19, the success of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, the effectiveness of the current vaccines to contain the COVID-19 variants, including the Delta, Omicron and any future variants, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets.
We, our tenants and operating partners are also impacted by the increasing inflation rate. According to the U.S. Labor Department, the annual inflation rate for the U.S. was 7% for the year ended December 2021, the highest since June 1982. As a result, the Federal Reserve is planning to use its policy tools to try to rein in inflation by gradually raising borrowing costs, which will negatively impact our future results due to higher borrowing costs. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict may exacerbate the already high inflation, rattle the global economies and markets and worsen the fragile global supply chain. The resulting retaliatory sanctions from the U.S. and its allies to Russia may temper the recovering global economy.
Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2021 to the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Rental Income
Rental income, including tenant reimbursements, was $36,222,717 and $38,639,460 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Rental income during 2021 included $2,212,090 of revenue from the early termination of the lease related to an industrial property sold during the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the effect of the revenue from early termination of the lease on the industrial property sold in July 2021, the year-over-year rental income decreased by $4,628,833, or 12%. This decrease primarily reflects the reduction of rental income from the ten properties (eight retail properties and two industrial properties) sold during 2020 and 2021. All five properties sold during 2020 were sold in the second half of 2020, while the properties sold in 2021 included three properties sold in the first quarter, one property sold in the beginning of the third quarter and one property sold at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. The decreases in rental income due to these asset sales were offset in part by the rental income from the two retail properties acquired on July 26, 2021 and December 3, 2021. During 2022, the loss of rental income from the sold properties will be offset by rental income from the properties acquired in January 2022. Pursuant to most of our lease agreements, tenants are required to pay or reimburse all or a portion of the property operating expenses. The ABR income of the operating properties owned as of December 31, 2021, excluding the four properties held for sale, was $25,905,895 and the pro forma ABR as of December 31, 2021 after taking into account the two properties acquired in January 2022 and four properties sold in February 2022 is $30,406,425 (unaudited).
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $12,649,042 and $10,399,194 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $2,249,848, or 22%, year-over-year primarily reflects increases of $2,032,247 in stock compensation expense related to the Class R OP Units granted in January 2021 (discussed in detail in Note 12 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K), and legal expenses in the current year compared to the prior year. We expect general and administrative expenses will decrease by approximately $2,200,000 in 2022 as a result of the termination of our crowdfunding business and other cost savings initiatives.

Table of Contents
Merger Costs
Merger costs or self-management transaction expenses of $201,920 for the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily reflect a final allocation of fees of the financial advisor to the special committee of our board of directors, along with legal fees for the special committee's legal counsel.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $15,266,936 and $17,592,253, respectively. The purchase price of the acquired properties was allocated to tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. The decrease of $2,325,317, or 13%, year-over-year primarily reflects the reduction of depreciation and amortization expenses related to the ten properties (eight retail properties and two industrial properties) sold. The properties sold include four retail properties and one industrial property sold in the second half of 2020, three retail properties, one industrial property and one retail property sold in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, offset in part by the depreciation and amortization expenses of two retail properties acquired on July 26, 2021 and December 3, 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $7,586,197 and $11,460,747 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (see Note 7 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the detail of the components of interest expense). The decrease of $3,874,550, or 34%, year-over-year was primarily due to our current year gain on interest rate swaps of $847,730 compared to prior year loss on interest rate swaps of $1,172,781. In addition, the decrease was due to reduced outstanding borrowings from both our mortgage notes payable and our credit facilities and reduced amortization of loan fees. There was also a decrease in the average principal balance of our mortgage notes payable, including mortgage notes payable related to real estate investments held for sale, from approximately $201,863,000 in 2020 compared to approximately $183,656,000 in 2021 and our average credit facility borrowings were approximately $8,748,000 in 2020 compared to $4,000,000 in 2021.
Property Expenses
Property expenses were $6,691,899 and $6,999,178 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These expenses primarily relate to property taxes as well as insurance, utilities, and repairs and maintenance expenses. The decrease of $307,279, or 4%, year-over-year primarily reflects the reduction in expenses related to the ten properties (eight retail properties and two industrial properties) sold. The properties sold include four retail properties and one industrial property sold in the second half of 2020, three retail properties, one industrial property and one retail property sold in the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, offset in part by the rental income from the two retail properties acquired on July 26, 2021 and December 3, 2021.
Impairment of Real Estate Investment Properties
Impairment of real estate investment properties was a credit of $400,999 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and a charge of $10,267,625 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The current year credit resulted from an adjustment to revalue impairment charge recorded in December 2020 for the property located in Bedford, Texas due to its reclassification from held for sale to held for use in June 2021. The prior year impairment charges were related to the impairments of six properties which consisted of impairments on the sale of three properties located in Lake Elsinore, California, Morgan Hill, California and Las Vegas Nevada, one vacant property located in Cedar Park, Texas and one held for sale property located in San Jose, California. These impairment charges were primarily due to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed further in Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Impairment charges for non-property intangible assets were $3,767,190 and $34,572,403 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The impairment charge of $3,767,190 during the current year relates to the abandoned unamortized balance of intangible assets used as the primary mechanism through which we sold our shares of Class C Common Stock to the market and raised equity capital through our crowdfunding activities when we planned our Listed Offering in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our Listed Offering became effective on February 10, 2022. The impairment charge of $34,572,403 in the prior year relates to goodwill impairment of $33,267,143 and intangible assets impairment of $1,305,260 related to our investor list, a portion of which we determined would no longer be viable. These impairments reflected the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets (see Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details).
Gain on Sale of Real Estate Investments, net
The gain on sale of real estate investments, net was $7,803,702 and $4,139,749 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and related primarily to the sale of five properties (four retail and one industrial) in each of the current year and prior year (see Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more gain on sale details). Our 2021 sales of real estate investments were primarily due to our strategic plan to reduce our exposure to office properties and increase our WALT and to a certain extent the continued effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we sold certain of our real estate investments primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic to support the significant increase in share repurchase payments to our stockholders and to provide additional liquidity as a result of the significant decrease in proceeds from issuance of common stock.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
The lease termination expense of $1,039,648 for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the fee for early termination of our Costa Mesa, California office lease following the surrender of the leased premises to the lessor during the second quarter of 2020.
Interest income was $21,328 and $4,923 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property was $276,042 and $296,780 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represents our approximate 72.7% TIC Interest in the Santa Clara, California property's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Gain on forgiveness of economic relief note payable for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects the SBA’s forgiveness in February 2021 of our economic relief note payable of $517,000 obtained in April 2020 under the terms of the PPP.
Other income of $283,971 and $310,146 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily reflects our monthly management fee from the entities that own the TIC Interest property which is equal to 0.1% of the total investment value of the property. The total management fee was $263,971 for each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, of which our portion of expense relating to the TIC Interest was $191,933 for each year and is reflected as a component of income from unconsolidated investment in a real estate property in the statement of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This property was sold on December 21, 2021.
We have a limited operating history. In evaluating the above properties as potential acquisitions, including the determination of an appropriate purchase price to be paid for the properties, we considered a variety of factors, including the condition and financial performance of the properties, the terms of the existing leases and the creditworthiness of the tenants, property location, visibility and access, age of the properties, physical condition and curb appeal, neighboring property uses, local market conditions, including vacancy rates, area demographics, including trade area population and average household income and neighborhood growth patterns and economic conditions.

Extension of Leases
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed lease extensions for six properties, including the properties leased to two Dollar Generals in Castalia, Ohio and Lakeside, Ohio, Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, Florida, PreK Education in San Antonio, Texas, L3Harris in Carlsbad, California, and 3M Company in DeKalb, Illinois. These six lease extensions resulted in an average increase in lease term of 10 years and an average increase in rents of 6%.
Effective January 12, 2022, we extended the lease terms of our Cummins property located in Nashville, Tennessee from March 1, 2023 to February 28, 2024 with a 2% increase in annual rent commencing March 1, 2023. Cummins accepted the extension of the lease terms and possession of the property on an "AS-IS" basis. We also granted to Cummins an option to extend the lease term for an additional five years commencing March 1, 2024 and paid a leasing commission of $30,000 in connection with this extension.
Effective January 26, 2022, we extended the lease term of our ITW Rippey property located in El Dorado Hills, California from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2029 with a 6% increase in annual rent commencing August 1, 2022 and 3% annual escalations thereafter. We also agreed to provide a tenant improvements allowance of $481,250 in connection with this extension and granted ITW Rippey an option to extend the lease term for an additional five years commencing August 1, 2029.
Effective March 4, 2022, we extended the lease term of our Williams Sonoma property located in Summerlin, Nevada from October 31, 2022 to October 31, 2025 with a 4% increase in annual rent commencing November 1, 2022 and 2.7% annual escalations thereafter. We also agreed to provide the tenant with one month of free rent, an inducement payment of $100,000 and tenant improvements allowance of $166,450 and will pay a leasing commission of $90,383 in connection with this extension.
We are continuing to explore potential lease extensions for certain of our other properties.
Other than as discussed below, we do not have other plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to lease agreements, as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had obligations to pay $189,136 and $60,598, respectively, for on-site and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants. We expect that the related improvements will be completed during the 2022 calendar year and will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flow or offering proceeds. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, we also agreed to additional on-site and tenant improvement obligations of $647,700 in connection with the lease extensions for our ITW Rippey and Williams Sonoma properties, as discussed above.
As of December 31, 2021, our restricted cash deposits held to fund other improvements and leasing commissions totaled $2,271,462, and these deposits were released pursuant to our refinancing transaction on January 18, 2022.
In addition, we have identified approximately $2,157,000 of roof replacement, exterior painting and sealing and parking lot repairs/restriping that are expected to be completed in 2022, including approximately $703,000 for tenant improvements for the Northrop Grumman property. Approximately $1,037,000 of these improvements are expected to be recoverable from tenants through their operating expense reimbursements. In addition, following the release of the deposits discussed above, there are no restricted cash deposits that were reserved to pay for these improvements. We will initially pay for the improvements and the recoveries will be billed over an extended period of time according to the terms of the lease. The remaining costs of approximately $1,120,000 are not recoverable from tenants. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand, operating cash flows, debt financings or proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock.
More information on our properties and investments can be found in Part I, Item 2. Properties of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion below is regarding the accounting policies that management believes are or will be critical to our operations. We consider these policies critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may have utilized different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Entities
We account for the noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership in accordance with the related accounting guidance. Due to our control of the Operating Partnership through our general partnership interest therein and the limited rights of the limited partners, the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with us, and the limited partner interests not held by us are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity. The noncontrolling interests were issued on December 31, 2019 and represent non-voting, non-dividend accruing interests with no allocation of profits or losses.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”), which includes revenue generated by sales of real estate, other operating income and tenant reimbursements for substantial services earned at our properties. Such revenues are recognized when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. Tenant reimbursements, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, property taxes and other recoverable costs, are recognized in rental income subsequent to the adoption of Topic 842, as discussed below, in the period the recoverable costs are incurred. Tenant reimbursements, for which we pay the associated costs directly to third-party vendors and is reimbursed by the tenants, are recognized and recorded on a gross basis.
We account for leases accordance with FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and the related FASB ASU Nos. 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20 and 2019-01, which provide practical expedients, technical corrections and improvements for certain aspects of ASU 2016-02 (collectively “Topic 842”). Topic 842 established a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for leases. Topic 842 applies to all entities that enter into leases. Lessees are required to report assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Lessor accounting has largely remained unchanged; however, certain refinements are made to conform with revenue recognition guidance, specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. Topic 842 primarily impacts our accounting for leases primarily as a lessor. Topic 842 also impacts our accounting as a lessee; however, such impact is not considered material.
As a lessor, our leases with tenants generally provide for the lease of real estate properties, as well as common area maintenance, property taxes and other recoverable costs. To reflect recognition as one lease component, rental income and tenant reimbursements and other lease related property income that meet the requirements of the practical expedient provided by ASU No. 2018-11 have been combined under rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.
We recognize rental income from tenants under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the noncancelable term of the lease when collectability of such amounts is reasonably assured. Recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis includes the effects of rental abatements, lease incentives and fixed and determinable increases in lease payments over the lease term. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, our management determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or by us.
70
Table of Contents
When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that the tenant can take in the form of cash or a credit against its rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
•whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
Tenant reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the expenses are incurred and presented gross if we are the primary obligor and, with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk. In instances where the operating lease agreement has an early termination option, the termination penalty is based on a predetermined termination fee or based on the unamortized tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We evaluate the collectability of rents and other receivables on a regular basis based on factors including, among others, payment history, credit rating, the asset type, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of these factors indicates we may not recover the full value of the receivable, we provide an allowance against the portion of the receivable that we estimate may not be recovered. This analysis requires us to determine whether there are factors indicating a receivable may not be fully collectible and to estimate the amount of the receivable that may not be collected.
Bad Debts and Allowances for Tenant and Deferred Rent Receivables
Our determination of the adequacy of our allowances for tenant receivables includes a binary assessment of whether or not the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For such amounts that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For such amounts that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination. In addition, for tenant and deferred rent receivables deemed probable of collection, we also may record an allowance under other authoritative GAAP depending upon our evaluation of the individual receivables, specific credit enhancements, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. Such allowances are recorded as increases or decreases through rental income in our consolidated statements of operations.
With respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, we will record a bad debt allowance for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until either cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments.
Gain or Loss on Sale of Real Estate Investments
We recognize gain or loss on sale of real estate property when we have executed a contract for sale of the property, transferred controlling financial interest in the property to the buyer and determined that it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration for the property. When properties are sold, operating results of the properties remain in continuing operations, and any associated gain or loss from the disposition is included in gain or loss on sale of real estate investments in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. We expect to operate in a manner that will allow us to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including meeting various tests regarding the nature of our assets and our income, the ownership of our outstanding stock and distribution of at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy, which is based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, is as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of our financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available and for which markets contain orderly transactions will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments for which markets are inactive or consist of non-orderly trades. We evaluate several factors when determining if a market is inactive or when market transactions are not orderly. The following is a summary of the methods and assumptions used by management in estimating the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents; restricted cash; receivable from sale of real estate property; tenant receivables; prepaid expenses and other assets; accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities: These balances approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
Derivative instruments: Our derivative instruments are presented at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The valuation of these instruments is determined using a proprietary model that utilizes observable inputs. As such, we classify these inputs as Level 2 inputs. The proprietary model uses the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, as well as observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and volatility. The fair values of interest rate swaps are estimated using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit risks to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.
Goodwill and intangible assets: The fair value measurements of goodwill and intangible assets are considered Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurements. For goodwill, fair value measurement involves the determination of fair value of a reporting unit. We have used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate future performance, generating the fair value of the reporting unit's business. For intangible assets, fair value measurements include assumptions with inherent uncertainty, including projected securities offering volumes and related projected revenues and long-term growth rates, among others. The carrying value of our intangible assets is at risk of impairment if we experience an adverse change in our business climate or have a current expectation that, more likely than not, an asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

Credit facility and economic relief note payable: The fair value of our credit facility and economic relief note payable approximates the carrying value of the credit facility and economic relief note payable as their interest rates and other terms are comparable to those available in the market place for a similar credit facility and short-term note, respectively.
Mortgage notes payable: The fair value of our mortgage notes payable is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s estimates of current market interest rates for instruments with similar characteristics, including remaining loan term, loan-to-value ratio, type of collateral and other credit enhancements. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, we measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. We classify these inputs as Level 3 inputs.
Related party transactions: We have concluded that it is not practical to determine the estimated fair value of related party transactions. Disclosure rules for fair value measurements require that for financial instruments for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, information pertinent to those instruments be disclosed. Further information as to these financial instruments with related parties is included in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Real Estate
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation
We record acquisitions that meet the definition of a business as a business combination. If the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business, we record the acquisition as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured based on their acquisition-date fair values. Transaction costs that are related to a business combination are charged to expense as incurred. Transaction costs that are related to an asset acquisition are capitalized as incurred.
We assess the acquisition date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, we include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease up periods. We amortize the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective lease.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income (loss).

Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and depreciated or amortized over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset and are expensed as incurred. Significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. We anticipate the estimated useful lives of our assets by class to be generally as follows:
| . | Buildings | 10-48 years |
|---|---|---|
| . | Site improvements | Shorter of 15 years or remaining lease term |
| . | Tenant improvements | Shorter of 15 years or remaining lease term |
| . | Tenant origination and absorption costs, and above-/below-market lease intangibles | Remaining lease term |
Impairment of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets
We regularly monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment are present that indicate that the carrying amounts of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, management assesses whether the carrying value of the assets will be recovered through the future undiscounted operating cash flows expected from the use of and eventual disposition of the property. If, based on the analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the asset, we will record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
Leasing Costs
We account for leasing costs under Topic 842. Initial direct costs would include only those costs that are incremental to the lease arrangement and would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. We charge to expense internal leasing costs and third-party legal leasing costs as incurred. These expenses are included in general and administrative expense and property expenses, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Investments Held for Sale
We consider a real estate investment to be “held for sale” when the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property, (ii) the property is available for sale immediately, (iii) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, (iv) the sale of the property within one year is considered probable and (v) significant changes to the plan to sell are not expected. Real estate that is held for sale and its related assets are classified as “real estate investment held for sale, net” and “assets related to real estate investment held for sale,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Mortgage notes payable and other liabilities related to real estate investments held for sale are classified as “mortgage notes payable related to real estate investments held for sale, net” and “liabilities related to real estate investments held for sale,” respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Real estate investments classified as held for sale are no longer depreciated and are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Operating results of properties that were classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business are included in continuing operations in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Unconsolidated Investment
We account for investments in an entity over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, an investment is initially recognized at cost and is subsequently adjusted to reflect our share of earnings or losses of the investee. The investment is also increased for additional amounts invested and decreased for any distributions received from the investee. Equity method investment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. If an equity method investment is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the investment is reduced to fair value and an impairment charge is recorded as a reduction to earnings.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We record goodwill when the purchase price of a business combination exceeds the estimated fair value of net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for possible impairment in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other, on an annual basis, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has more likely than not declined below its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized.
In assessing goodwill impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Our qualitative assessment of the recoverability of goodwill considers various macro-economic, industry-specific and company-specific factors. These factors include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization below its net book value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is unlikely that the fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis is unnecessary.
However, if we concluded otherwise, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative analysis, then it is required that we perform a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired; otherwise, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the lesser of: (a) the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; or (b) the amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Intangible assets consist of purchased customer-related intangible assets, marketing related intangible assets, developed or acquired technology and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method ranging from three years to five years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible assets. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.
Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
The fair values of the Operating Partnership's units or restricted stock unit awards issued or granted by us were based on the estimated NAV per share of our common stock on the date of issuance or grant, adjusted for an illiquidity discount due to the illiquid nature of the underlying equity. Operating Partnership units issued as purchase consideration in connection with the Self-Management Transaction are recorded in equity under noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity. For units granted to our employees that are not included in the purchase consideration, the fair value of the award is amortized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period. We have elected to record forfeitures as they occur.
On February 15, 2022, we completed our Listed Offering of our Class C Common Stock. The fair values of future grants of the Operating Partnership's units or restricted stock unit awards will be determined based on the NYSE's market closing price of our Class C Common Stock on the date of grant.
We determine the accounting classification of equity instruments (e.g., restricted stock units) that are issued as purchase consideration or part of the purchase consideration in a business combination, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the equity instruments meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“ASC 480-10”), and then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 480-10, equity instruments are classified as liabilities if the equity instruments are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the equity instruments or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require an unconditional obligation that must be settled by issuing a variable number of shares.

If equity instruments do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, we assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the equity instruments do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, we assess whether the equity instruments are indexed to our common stock and whether the equity instruments are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP guidance. After all relevant assessments are made, we conclude whether the equity instruments are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified equity instruments are accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations as a gain or loss. Equity classified equity instruments are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
Recent Market Conditions
The recent developments in the Russian war against Ukraine and sanctions which have been announced by the United States and other countries against Russia have caused significant uncertainty in the market, adding to continuing concerns about supply chain disruptions and inflation.
In addition, we continue to face significant uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including any future variants thereof, although the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy appear to have diminished and the general commercial real estate market appears to be recovering from such impacts. Both the investing and leasing environments are currently highly competitive. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions in utilization of office and retail properties and uncertainty over how tenants will respond when their leases are scheduled to expire.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. Furthermore, rent abatements for tenants severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation or international business interests, particularly if affected by the Russian war against Ukraine, may also result in decreases in cash flows from investment properties. We have no leases scheduled to expire in 2022 and three leases (two office and one industrial) scheduled to expire in 2023, which comprise an aggregate of 142,146 leasable square feet and represent approximately 4.8% of projected 2022 ABR from properties after taking into account the impact of recent acquisitions and dispositions. The tenants of these properties could reevaluate their use of such properties in light of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including their ability to have workers succeed in working at home, and determine not to renew these leases or to seek rent or other concessions as a condition of renewing their leases.
Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. However, we have successfully negotiated lease extensions for six properties in 2021 (two Dollar General stores in Castalia, Ohio and Lakeside, Ohio, Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, Florida, PreK in San Antonio, Texas, L3Harris in Carlsbad, California and 3M Company in DeKalb, Illinois), and an additional three properties in the first quarter of 2022 (Cummins in Nashville, Tennessee, ITW Rippey in El Dorado Hills, California and Williams Sonoma in Summerlin, Nevada). We are in the process of negotiating potential lease extensions with several other tenants.

The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Federal Reserve policy, market sentiment or regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. In January 2022, we refinanced all but four of our properties (including the TIC Interest) in the $250,000,000 Facility. The mortgage on our Sutter Health property does not mature until March 9, 2024 and the other three mortgages do not mature until after September 2027. Our Revolver does not mature until January 18, 2026 and can be extended for an additional 12 months thereafter, while our Term Loan does not mature until January 18, 2027. Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. We continuously review our investment and debt financing strategies to optimize our portfolio and the cost of our debt exposure. We expect to manage the current lending environment by considering interest rate swaps to hedge against future rate increases.
