NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are a publicly traded, self-managed equity REIT that focuses on the ownership, management, and repositioning of high-quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in what we believe to be faster growing, business-friendly markets exhibiting accommodative business tax policies, outsized relative job and population growth, and where retail demand exceeds supply. We have pursued our investment strategy by investing primarily through fee simple ownership of our properties, commercial loans and preferred equity.

As of June 30, 2024, we own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, 20 commercial real estate properties in 8 states in the United States, comprising 3.9 million square feet of gross leasable space. In addition to our income property portfolio, as of June 30, 2024, our business included the following:

Management Services: A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”) as well as; (i) a portfolio of assets pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement (hereinafter defined) and (ii) Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Subsurface Management Agreement (hereinafter defined), as further described in Note 5, “Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loans and Investments: A portfolio of three commercial loan investments and one preferred equity investment which is classified as a commercial loan investment.

Real Estate Operations: An inventory of mitigation credits produced by the Company’s formerly owned mitigation bank. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold its portfolio of subsurface mineral interests associated with approximately 352,000 surface acres in 19 counties in the State of Florida (“Subsurface Interests”), as further described in Note 6, “Real Estate Operations”. As part of the Subsurface Interests sale, the Company entered into a management agreement with the buyer to provide ongoing management services (the “Subsurface Management Agreement”).

Investment in PINE: Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of our investment totaled $36.6 million, or 15.8% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties, and other matters. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of operations for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has an equity investment in PINE.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards related to the manner in which enterprises report operating segment information. The Company operates in four primary business segments including income properties, management services, commercial loans and investments, and real estate operations, as further discussed within Note 22, “Business Segment Data”. The Company has no other reportable segments. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a disaggregated basis for purposes of allocating and evaluating financial performance.

Real Estate

The Company’s real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Such assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the applicable property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, was $6.7 million and $6.3 million, respectively. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, was $13.1 million and $12.3 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Among other factors, fluctuating market conditions that can exist in the national real estate markets and the volatility and uncertainty in the financial and credit markets make it possible that the estimates and assumptions, most notably those related to the Company’s investments in income properties, could change materially due to continued volatility in the real estate and financial markets, or as a result of a significant dislocation in those markets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2024, which is being held in three interest and/or real estate tax reserve accounts related to the Company’s commercial loans and investments.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either other assets or accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value. On the date each

Table of Contents

interest rate swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.

The Company documented the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged item, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. At the hedges’ inception, the Company assessed whether the derivatives that are used in hedging the transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items, and we will continue to do so on a quarterly basis.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items (see Note 16, “Interest Rate Swaps”).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility (hereinafter defined) as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face value of the Company’s fixed rate commercial loans and investments, the 2026 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2027 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2028 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), mortgage note, and convertible debt held as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities (see Note 8, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s estimates of fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is based on the framework established by U.S. GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. U.S. GAAP describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels:

●

Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

●

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon 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.

●

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income on commercial loans and investments includes interest payments made by the borrower and the accretion of purchase discounts and loan origination fees, offset by the amortization of loan costs. Interest payments are accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance and purchase discounts and loan origination fees are accreted into income using the effective yield method, adjusted for prepayments.

Mitigation Credits

Mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost of sales are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of accrued tenant reimbursable expenses and other tenant receivables. Receivables related to income property tenants totaled $4.3 million and $4.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015 as more fully described in Note 11, “Other Assets.”

The amount due from the buyer of the golf operations for the rounds surcharge the Company paid to the City of Daytona Beach, totaled $0.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables shall be considered and adjusted through an allowance for doubtful accounts which is included in income property revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

Investments in real estate are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of investments in real estate reflects their purchase price or development cost. We evaluate each acquisition transaction to determine whether the acquired asset meets the definition of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, an acquisition does not qualify as a business when there is no substantive process acquired or substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Transaction costs related to acquisitions that are asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the cost basis of the acquired assets, while transaction costs for acquisitions that are deemed to be acquisitions of a business are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life or improve the productive capacity of the asset. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with FASB guidance, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to rental income over the initial term unless management believes that it is likely that the tenant will renew the lease upon expiration, in which case the Company amortizes the value attributable to the renewal over the renewal period. The value of in-place leases and leasing costs are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.

The Company incurs costs related to the development and leasing of its properties. Such costs include, but are not limited to, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, rebranding, facility expansion and other capital improvements, and are included in construction in progress during the development period. When a construction project is considered to be substantially complete, the capitalized costs are reclassified to the appropriate real estate asset and depreciation begins. The Company assesses the level of construction activity to determine the amount, if any, of interest expense to be capitalized to the underlying construction projects.

Sales of Real Estate

When income properties are disposed of, the related cost basis of the real estate, intangible lease assets, and intangible lease liabilities, net of accumulated depreciation and/or amortization, and any accrued straight-line rental income balance for the underlying operating leases are removed, and gains or losses from the dispositions are reflected in net income within gain (loss) on disposition of assets. In accordance with the FASB guidance, gains or losses on sales of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method.

Gains and losses on land sales, in addition to the sale of Subsurface Interests and mitigation credits, are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from such sales when the Company transfers the promised goods in the contract based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations within the contract. As market information becomes available, the underlying cost basis is analyzed and recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through TRSs and subsidiaries of TRSs, which are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, the Company held a total of two TRSs, each subject to taxation and the separate filing of its corporate income tax returns. As of January 1, 2024, the Company consolidated its TRSs into one TRS subject to taxation and the filing of a single corporate income tax return.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes for the Company’s TRS. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes (see Note 20, “Income Taxes”). In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

Our investments in commercial loans or similarly structured investments, such as preferred equity, mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The investments are associated with commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

2024 Activity. On April 18,2024, the borrower on the mortgage loan secured by the Sabal Pavilion property, as described below, repaid the mortgage loan, at a $0.2 million discount, for proceeds to the Company of $15.2 million.

On March 26, 2024, the Company originated a construction loan secured by the property and improvements to be constructed thereon consisting of seven outparcel locations, known as the Hypoluxo Project, located in Lake Worth, Florida for $10.0 million. The construction loan matures on September 26, 2025, bears a fixed interest rate of 11.0%, and requires interest only payments prior to maturity. Funding of the loan will occur as the borrower completes the underlying construction. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had funded $7.1 million to the borrower and received $1.5 million in principal payments, leaving a remaining commitment of $2.9 million to the borrower.

On February 2, 2024, the borrower under the construction loan originated in January 2022 and secured by the property and improvements constructed thereon for the second phase of The Exchange at Gwinnett project located in Buford, Georgia repaid the principal balance of $1.9 million, leaving no remaining balance outstanding as of June 30, 2024. There is no remaining commitment to the borrower as of June 30, 2024.

2023 Activity. On February 21, 2023, the borrower of the mortgage note secured by the 4311 Maple Avenue property located in Dallas, Texas repaid the principal balance of $0.4 million, leaving no remaining balance outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

On March 1, 2023, the Company originated a $15.0 million first mortgage loan secured by the Founders Square property located in Dallas, Texas. The loan is interest-only with a term of three years with a fixed interest rate of 8.75%. The Company received an origination fee of 1.0% or $0.15 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company funded $2.2 million to the borrower and received $0.6 million in principal repayments under the construction loan originated in January 2022 and secured by the property and improvements to be constructed thereon for the second phase of The Exchange at Gwinnett project located in Buford, Georgia. As of June 30, 2023, there is no remaining commitment to the borrower.

On December 20, 2023, simultaneous with the sale of the property, the Company originated a $15.4 million first mortgage loan secured by the Sabal Pavilion property located in Tampa, Florida. The loan was interest-only with a term of six months with a fixed interest rate of 7.50%. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the borrower repaid the mortgage loan, at a $0.2 million discount, for proceeds to the Company of $15.2 million.

Watters Creek Investment. On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into a preferred equity agreement to provide $30.0 million of funding towards the total investment in Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a grocery-anchored, mixed-use property located in Allen, Texas (the “Watters Creek Investment”). The Watters Creek Investment matures on April 6, 2025, has two one-year extension options, bears a fixed interest rate of 8.50% at the time of acquisition with increases during the initial term as well as the option terms, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. At closing, an origination fee of $0.15 million was received by the Company. The Watters Creek Investment represents $30.0 million, or approximately 23%, of funding towards the total investment in Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a grocery-anchored, mixed-use property located in Allen, Texas (the “Watters Creek Property”). The remaining funding is comprised of a combination of third-party sponsorship equity and a secured first mortgage.

The Company’s variable interest in the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment is primarily due to the inherent credit risk associated with the $30.0 million fixed-return preferred investment. The day-to-day operations, including asset management and leasing, of the Watters Creek Property are managed by an unrelated third-party. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company determined we are not the primary beneficiary of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment; accordingly, the entity was not consolidated. The investment was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a commercial loan investment at the time of acquisition. The significant factors related to this determination included, but were not limited to, the Company not having the power to direct the activities of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment due to (i) the day-to-day operations being managed by an unrelated third-party and (ii) the Company’s position as minority lender with fixed returns and maturity dates for the repayment of the $30.0 million preferred investment.

The Company’s commercial loans and investments were comprised of the following at June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

NOTE 5. MANAGEMENT SERVICES BUSINESS

The Company’s management fee income is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Management fee income is recognized as revenue over time, over the period the services are performed.

Alpine Income Property Trust. Pursuant to the Company’s management agreement with PINE, the Company generates a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of PINE’s total equity (as defined in the management agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The Company also has an opportunity to achieve additional cash flows as manager of PINE pursuant to an annual incentive fee based on PINE’s total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. PINE would pay the Company an incentive fee with respect to each annual measurement period in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was earned for the year ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 10. PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT

Income Properties. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of long-lived assets required to be assessed for impairment is determined on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to, executed purchase and sale agreements on specific properties, third party valuations, discounted cash flow models, and other model-based techniques.

There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments. Pursuant to ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company measures and records a provision for current expected credit losses (“CECL”) each time a new investment is made or a loan is repaid, as well as if changes to estimates occur during a quarterly measurement period. We are unable to use historical data to estimate expected credit losses, as we have incurred no losses to date. Management utilizes a loss-rate method and considers macroeconomic factors to estimate its CECL allowance, which is calculated based on the amortized cost basis of the commercial loans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.1 million impairment charge, comprised of a $0.2 million charge related to the discount provided to the borrower on their early repayment of the Sabal Pavilion loan, as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”, offset by a $0.1 million reduction in our CECL allowance due to a net decrease in principal outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $0.5 million impairment charge, representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments.

DIVIDENDS

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate U.S. federal income taxes payable by the Company. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may elect to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows.

NOTE 13. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders during the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption of the vesting of restricted stock at the beginning of each period using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods. Effective as of January 1, 2022, diluted earnings per common share also reflects the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined) on an if-converted basis.

indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Convertible Debt. The Company had an initial aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million of 3.875% Convertible Notes (the “2025 Notes”). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased $11.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $1.6 million premium, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million. Following these repurchases, $51.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding at June 30, 2024.

On February 16, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2025 Notes repurchase program, which is expected to be in effect until the approved dollar amount has been used to repurchase 2025 Notes (the “2025 Notes Repurchase Program”). Pursuant to the 2025 Notes Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, in one or more transactions, 2025 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of not more than $4.74 million. The 2025 Notes Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of 2025 Notes and may be modified or suspended. The Company was not active under the 2025 Notes Repurchase Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes was initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represented a premium of 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the second quarter 2024 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 70.0257 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of $14.28 per share of common stock. At the maturity date, the Company is required to settle the 2025 Notes in cash. Should certain corporate transactions or events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. In the event a holder surrenders its 2025 Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election, settle the conversion in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s ultimate election regarding settlement of 2025 Notes upon any conversion thereof will be made based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to economic and market conditions, and the Company’s liquidity. At time of issuance, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. The equity component was eliminated on January 1, 2022 with the 2025 Notes Adjustment.

As of June 30, 2024, the unamortized debt discount of our 2025 Notes was $0.1 million, which represents the cash component of the discount.

EQUITY-CLASSIFIED STOCK COMPENSATION

Performance Share Awards – Peer Group Market Condition Vesting

Performance shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. The performance share awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of performance shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock ultimately received by the award recipient is determined based on the Company’s total stockholder return as compared to the total stockholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period. The Company granted a total of 100,391 performance shares during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its awards that are based on market conditions. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and stockholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption.

Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $2.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested performance share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.0 years.

A summary of the activity for these awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is presented below:


Performance Shares With Market Conditions	Shares		Wtd. Avg. Fair Value Per Share

Restricted Shares

Restricted shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. Certain of the restricted shares vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28 of the applicable year provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. Certain other restricted share awards, granted on July 1, 2022, vest entirely on the third anniversary of the grant date, or July 1, 2025, provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on that date. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control. The Company granted a total of 107,191 shares of restricted Company common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested restricted share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 years.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION

Each member of the Company’s Board of Directors has the option to receive his or her annual retainer and meeting fees in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director plus (B) meeting fees earned by such director during the quarter, by (ii) the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Each non-employee director serving as of the beginning of each calendar year shall receive an annual award of the Company’s common stock. The value of such award totaled $62,500 and $35,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, (the “Annual Award”). The number of shares awarded is calculated based on the trailing 20-day

Table of Contents

average price of the Company’s common stock as of the date two business days prior to the date of the award, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. Non-employee directors do not receive meeting fees, but do receive additional retainers for service on Board committees, as set forth in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy available on the Company’s website (www.ctoreit.com).

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.5 million, or 29,014 shares, and $0.3 million, or 17,203 shares, respectively. The expense recognized includes the Annual Award received during the first quarter of each respective year, which totaled $0.3 million and $0.2 million during each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

NOTE 20. INCOME TAXES

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through TRSs and subsidiaries of TRSs, which are subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2023, the Company held a total of two TRSs, each subject to taxation and the separate filing of its corporate income tax returns. As of January 1, 2024, the Company consolidated its TRSs into one TRS subject to taxation and the filing of a single corporate income tax return.

As a result of the Company’s election to be taxed as a REIT, during the year ended December 31, 2020, an $82.5 million deferred tax benefit was recorded to de-recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the entities included in the REIT. A significant portion of the deferred tax benefit recognized related to the de-recognition of deferred tax liabilities resulting from Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchanges (“1031 Exchanges”). The Company will be subject to corporate income taxes related to assets held by it that are sold during the 5-year period following the date of conversion to the extent such sold assets had a built-in gain as of January 1, 2020. The Company has disposed of certain, primarily single-tenant, REIT assets after the REIT conversion within the 5-year period. All such sales were completed using 1031 Exchanges or other deferred tax structures to mitigate the built-in gain tax liability of conversion.

OVERVIEW

Management Services: A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing PINE as well as: (i) a portfolio of assets pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement (hereinafter defined) and (ii) Subsurface Interests (hereinafter defined) pursuant to the Subsurface Management Agreement (hereinafter defined), as further described in Note 5, “Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loans and Investments: A portfolio of three commercial loan investments and one preferred equity investment which is classified as a commercial loan investment.

Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of our investment totaled $36.6 million, or 15.8% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur,

Table of Contents

the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals and target markets, including markets we believe to be faster growing, business-friendly markets exhibiting accommodative business tax policies, outsized relative job and population growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g. location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g. creditworthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g. tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g. strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, ability to use a Section 1031 like-kind exchange structure, etc.).

We believe investment in income-producing assets provides attractive opportunities for generally stable cash flows and increased returns over the long run through potential capital appreciation. Our focus on acquiring income-producing investments includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold one income property for a sales price of $20.0 million and a gain on sale of $4.6 million. As a result of entering into the Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement with PINE (the “ROFO Agreement”) which generally prevents us from investing in single-tenant net lease income properties, our income property investment strategy is focused on multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties. We may pursue this strategy by monetizing certain of our single-tenant properties, and should we do so, we would seek to utilize the 1031 like-kind exchange structure to preserve the tax-deferred gain on the original transaction(s) that pertains to the replacement asset.

Our current portfolio of 14 multi-tenant properties generates $75.5 million of revenue from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.7 years as of June 30, 2024. Our current portfolio of 6 single-tenant income properties generates $5.6 million of revenues from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 5.0 years as of June 30, 2024.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

Revenue

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is presented in the following summary and indicates the changes as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
Operating Segment	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		$ Variance		% Variance
Income Properties	$	25,878	$	22,758	$	3,120	13.7%
Management Services		1,131		1,102		29	2.6%
Commercial Loans and Investments		1,441		1,056		385	36.5%

Total Revenue	$	28,845	$	26,047	$	2,798	10.7%

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased to $28.8 million, compared to $26.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.8 million increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to increased income produced by the Company’s recent income property acquisitions versus that of properties disposed of by the Company during the comparative period, as well as more same store revenue from our properties owned during each period. Additionally, revenues from our commercial loans and investments increased, which was offset by reduced revenues from our real estate operations.

Table of Contents

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $25.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total revenue and operating income of $22.8 million and $16.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $8.1 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenues of $3.1 million, or 13.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income of $1.7 million from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues related to net investment as well as leasing activity.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $1.0 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which decrease is due to the decrease in PINE’s total equity. Management services during the three months ended June 30, 2024 also included less than $0.1 million of revenue, from each of the asset management agreement with a third party to manage a portfolio of multi-tenant and single-tenant assets (the “Portfolio Management Agreement”) and the Subsurface Management Agreement, with no such revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $1.4 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased income as a result of the timing of investments made related to new loan originations during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by a reduction in interest income attributable to the repayment of one loan during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Real Estate Operations

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, operating income from real estate operations was $0.1 million and $0.5 million on revenues totaling $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there was $0.6 million less in mitigation credit sales revenue as compared to the same period in 2023, which led to $0.4 million less in the cost of sales on mitigation credit sales during the three months ended June 30, 2024, in addition to a reduction of subsurface sale revenues of $0.2 million as compared to the same period in 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is presented in the following summary and indicates the changes as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
General and Administrative Expenses	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		$ Variance		% Variance
Recurring General and Administrative Expenses	$	2,709	$	2,465	$	244	9.9%
Non-Cash Stock Compensation		750		862		(112)	(13.0)%
Total General and Administrative Expenses	$	3,459	$	3,327	$	132	4.0%

The primary reason for the increase in total general and administrative expenses is the overall higher employee count as a result of the increased operating activity from the significant increase in managed income property assets, partially offset by a decrease in executive compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization totaled $11.5 million and $10.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $0.7 million is due to the overall growth in the Company’s income property portfolio.

Gain on Disposition of Assets and Provision for Impairment

Gain on Dispositions of Assets. There were no income property dispositions during the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold one income property, an outparcel of the multi-tenant property known as Eastern Commons, located in Henderson, Nevada, for $2.1 million, resulting in a gain of $0.8 million.

Provision for Impairment. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was comprised of a $0.2 million charge related to the discount provided to the borrower on their early repayment of the Sabal Pavilion loan, as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”, offset by a $0.1 million reduction in our current expected credit losses (“CECL”) allowance due to a net decrease in principal outstanding. No such impairment charges were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Investment and Other Income (Loss)

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the closing stock price of PINE increased by $0.28 per share, with a closing price of $15.56 on June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the closing stock price of PINE decreased by $0.58 per share, with a closing price of $16.25 on June 30, 2023. The change in stock price resulted in an unrealized non-cash gain (loss) on the Company’s investment in PINE in the amount of $0.7 million and ($1.4) million which is included in investment and other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $0.6 million during each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company derecognized a contingent obligation through a $2.3 million increase in investment and other income (loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2023, pursuant to a lease amendment whereby the Company’s obligation to fund certain tenant improvements was eliminated. The liability was previously included in Accrued and Other Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $5.6 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $0.4 million is primarily related to increases in the Company’s fixed rates on the 2026 Term Loan and the 2027 Term Loan due to swaps effective on March 29, 2024, which were partially offset by a reduction in interest on the Credit Facility due to a lower average outstanding balance during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company

Net income (loss) attributable to the Company totaled $1.2 million and $1.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $0.6 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023

Revenue

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is presented in the following summary and indicates the changes as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended
Operating Segment	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		$ Variance		% Variance
Income Properties	$	50,501	$	45,190	$	5,311	11.8%
Management Services		2,236		2,200		36	1.6%
Commercial Loans and Investments		2,792		1,851		941	50.8%
Real Estate Operations		1,443		1,523		(80)	(5.3)%
Total Revenue	$	56,972	$	50,764	$	6,208	12.2%

Total revenue for the six months ended increased to $57.0 million, compared to $50.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $6.2 million increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to increased income produced by the Company’s recent income property acquisitions versus that of properties disposed of by the Company during the comparative period as well as more same store revenue from our properties owned during each period. Additionally, revenues from our commercial loans and investments increased as a result of the change in the commercial loan and investment portfolio.

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $50.5 million and $35.7 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total revenue and operating income of $45.2 million and $31.4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $14.8 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in revenues of $5.3 million, or 11.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily related to the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income of $4.3 million from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues related to net investments as well as leasing activity.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $2.1 million and $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which decrease is due to the decrease in PINE’s total equity. Management services during the six months ended June 30, 2024 also included $0.1 million of revenue, from each of the Portfolio Management Agreement and the Subsurface Management Agreement, with no such revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $2.8 million and $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased income as a result of the timing of investments made related to new loan originations during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by a reduction in interest income attributable to the repayment of one loan during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Real Estate Operations

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, operating income from real estate operations was $0.4 million and $0.8 million on revenues totaling $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The $0.4 million decrease in operating income is due to more mitigation credit sales during the six months ended June 30, 2024 having an increased cost basis compared to mitigation credit sales during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

Total general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is presented in the following summary and indicates the changes as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended
General and Administrative Expenses	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2023		$ Variance		% Variance
Recurring General and Administrative Expenses	$	5,538	$	5,120	$	418	8.2%
Non-Cash Stock Compensation		2,137		1,934		203	10.5%
Total General and Administrative Expenses	$	7,675	$	7,054	$	621	8.8%

The primary reason for the increase in total general and administrative expenses is the overall higher employee count as a result of the increased operating activity from the significant increase in managed income property assets, partially offset by reduced executive compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization totaled $22.5 million and $21.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $1.4 million is due to the overall growth in the Company’s income property portfolio.

Gain on Disposition of Assets and Provision for Impairment

Gain on Disposition of Assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold one mixed use income property in downtown Santa Fe, NM for $20.0 million, resulting in a gain of $4.6 million. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold its portfolio of Subsurface Interests for $5.0 million, resulting in a gain of $4.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold one income property, an outparcel of the multi-tenant property known as Eastern Commons, located in Henderson, Nevada, for $2.1 million, resulting in a gain of $0.8 million.

Provision for Impairment. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recorded impairment charges of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments. The $0.1 million of impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2024, was comprised of a $0.2 million charge related to the discount provided to the borrower on their early repayment of the Sabal Pavilion loan, as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”, offset by a $0.1 million reduction in our CECL allowance due to a net decrease in principal outstanding.

Investment and Other Income (Loss)

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the closing stock price of PINE decreased by $1.35 per share, with a closing price of $15.56 on June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the closing stock price of PINE decreased by $2.83 per share, with a closing price of $16.25 on June 30, 2023. The change in stock price resulted in unrealized non-cash losses on the Company’s investment in PINE in the amount of $3.1 million and $6.2 million which is included in investment and other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $1.3 million and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company derecognized a contingent obligation through a $2.3 million increase in investment and other income (loss) during the six months ended June 30, 2023, pursuant to a lease amendment whereby the Company’s obligation to fund certain tenant improvements was eliminated. The liability was previously included in Accrued and Other Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $11.1 million and $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $1.3 million is partially related to increases in the Company’s fixed rates on the 2026 Term Loan and the 2027 Term Loan due to swaps effective on March 29, 2024, as well as a higher average outstanding balance on the Company’s Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company

Net income (loss) attributable to the Company totaled $3.1 million and $(4.2) million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $7.3 million increase in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the $8.2 million increase in gain on disposition of assets as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.8 million at June 30, 2024, while restricted cash totaled $1.4 million, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance at June 30, 2024.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $24.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $25.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.4 million. The primary reason for the decrease is an increase in interest expense as the result of higher overall debt balances during the six months ended June 30, 2024, offset by increased cash flows provided by income properties, which is the result of the overall growth and lease up of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as increased cash flows from our commercial loans and investments.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $40.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $106.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease in cash outflows of $65.7 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of a decrease in acquisition activity of income properties, net of sales of income properties and principal repayments received on commercial loan investments, for a decrease in net cash used of $56.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Our cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $70.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease in cash inflows of $65.9 million. The decrease is primarily related to a $108.9 million decrease in cash inflows provided by net debt activity, partially offset by proceeds from preferred equity issuances of $33.0 million, proceeds from common stock issuances of $6.4 million and a decrease in cash outflows of $4.4 million due to fewer repurchases of the Company’s common and preferred stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Long-Term Debt. At June 30, 2024, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $300.0 million. The undrawn commitment under the Credit Facility totaled $150.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, the Credit Facility had a $150.0 million balance outstanding. See Note 15, “Long-Term Debt” for the Company’s disclosure related to its long-term debt balance at June 30, 2024.

Acquisitions and Investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired the Marketplace at Seminole Towne Center, a multi-tenant income property located in Sanford, Florida, for a purchase price of $68.7 million, or a total acquisition cost of $68.8 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The Marketplace at Seminole Towne Center comprises 315,066 square feet, was 98% occupied at acquisition, and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.7 years at acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company also acquired a vacant land parcel, for future development, within the previously acquired West Broad Village property, located in the Short Pump submarket of Richmond, Virginia, for a purchase price of $1.5 million and the remaining 4,000 square foot property, within the 28,100 square foot retail portion of Phase II of The Exchange at Gwinnett located in Buford, Georgia for an aggregate purchase price of $2.3 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The Company previously purchased the Sprouts-anchored Phase I portion of The Exchange at Gwinnett in December 2021. The Company also originated one structured investment, to provide $10.0 million of funding towards the construction of improvements on seven outparcel locations located in Lake Worth, Florida, of which $6.7 million was funded as of June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company acquired the Plaza at Rockwall, a multi-tenant income property located in Rockwall,

Table of Contents

Texas for a purchase price of $61.2 million, or a total acquisition cost of $61.3 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The Plaza at Rockwall comprises 446,500 square feet, was 95% occupied at acquisition, and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 4.2 years at acquisition. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company acquired four properties, totaling 24,100 square feet, within the 28,100 square foot retail portion of Phase II of The Exchange at Gwinnett located in Buford, Georgia, for an aggregate purchase price of $14.6 million, or a total acquisition cost of $14.7 million including capitalized acquisition costs. The four properties are leased to six different tenants and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.9 years at acquisition. The Company previously purchased the Sprouts-anchored Phase I portion of The Exchange at Gwinnett in December 2021. The Company also originated one structured investment, to provide $15.0 million of funding towards the acquisition of Founders Square in Dallas, Texas.

The Company’s guidance for 2024 investments in income-producing properties, including structured investments, ranges from $200.0 million to $250.0 million. We expect to fund future acquisitions utilizing cash on hand, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of income properties through 1031 like-kind exchanges, borrowings on our Credit Facility, if available, and additional financing sources. We expect dispositions of income properties will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure.

Dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold one mixed use income property in downtown Santa Fe, NM for $20.0 million resulting in a gain of $4.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold one income property, an outparcel of the multi-tenant property known as Eastern Commons, located in Henderson, Nevada, for $2.1 million, resulting in a gain of $0.8 million.

ATM Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 374,817 shares under the 2022 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $6.5 million at a weighted average price of $17.43 per share, generating net proceeds of $6.4 million after deducting transaction fees of $0.1 million.

Contractual Commitments – Expenditures. The Company has committed to fund the following capital improvements. The improvements, which are related to several properties, are estimated to be generally completed within twelve months. These commitments, as of June 30, 2024, are as follows (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2024
Total Commitment ⁽¹⁾	$	16,472
Less Amount Funded		(2,095)
Remaining Commitment	$	14,377

⁽¹⁾ Commitment includes tenant improvements, leasing commissions, rebranding, facility expansion and other capital improvements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. None.

Other Matters. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, $131.2 million of availability remaining under the 2022 ATM Program, and $150.0 million undrawn commitment under the existing $300.0 million Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024.

Our Board and management consistently review the allocation of capital with the goal of providing the best long-term return for our stockholders. These reviews consider various alternatives, including increasing or decreasing regular dividends, repurchasing the Company’s securities, and retaining funds for reinvestment. Annually, the Board reviews our business plan and corporate strategies, and makes adjustments as circumstances warrant. Management’s focus is to continue our strategy to diversify our portfolio by redeploying proceeds from like-kind exchange transactions and utilizing our Credit Facility to increase our portfolio of income-producing properties, providing stabilized cash flows with strong risk-adjusted returns primarily in larger metropolitan areas and growth markets.

We believe that we currently have a reasonable level of leverage. Our strategy is to utilize leverage, when appropriate and necessary, and proceeds from sales of income properties and the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loans and investments to acquire income properties. We may also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments, invest in securities of real estate companies, or make other shorter-term investments. Our targeted investment classes may include the following:

Table of Contents

●

Multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets, typically stabilized;

●

Single-tenant retail or other commercial, double or triple net leased, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets that are compliant with our commitments under the PINE ROFO Agreement;

●

Ground leases, whether purchased or originated by the Company, that are compliant with our commitments under the ROFO Agreement;

●

Self-developed retail or other commercial properties;

●

Commercial loans and investments, whether purchased or originated by the Company, with loan terms of 1-10 years with strong risk-adjusted yields secured by property types to include hotel, retail, residential, land and industrial;

●

Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn strong risk-adjusted yields; and

●

Real estate-related investment securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, preferred or common stock, and corporate bonds.

Our investments in income-producing properties are typically subject to long-term leases. For multi-tenant properties, each tenant typically pays its proportionate share of the aforementioned operating expenses of the property, although for such properties we typically incur additional costs for property management services. Single-tenant leases are typically in the form of triple or double net leases and ground leases. Triple-net leases generally require the tenant to pay property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and capital expenditures.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We also disclose Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”), and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), each of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income as a performance measure or cash flows from operating activities as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT.

NAREIT defines FFO as U.S. GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, as well as extraordinary items (as defined by U.S. GAAP) such as net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company also excludes the gains or losses from sales of assets incidental to the primary business of the REIT which specifically include the sales of mitigation credits, subsurface sales, investment securities, and land sales, in addition to the mark-to-market of the Company’s investment securities and interest related to the 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, if the effect is dilutive. To derive Core FFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to gains and losses recognized on the extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, and other unforecastable market- or transaction-driven non-cash items, as well as adding back the interest related to the 2025 Convertible Senior Notes, if the effect is dilutive. To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO and Core FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash amortization. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

FFO is used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains or losses on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that Core FFO and AFFO are additional useful supplemental measures for investors to consider because they will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Critical accounting estimates include those estimates made in accordance with U.S. GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Our most significant estimate is as follows:

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease. As required by U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The assumptions underlying the allocation of relative fair values are based on market information including, but not limited to: (i) the estimate of replacement cost of improvements under the cost approach, (ii) the estimate of land values based on comparable sales under the sales comparison approach, and (iii) the estimate of future benefits determined by either a reasonable rate of return over a single year’s net cash flow, or a forecast of net cash flows projected over a reasonable investment horizon under the income capitalization approach. The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainty and thus any changes to the allocation of fair value to each of the various line items within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets could have an impact on the Company’s financial condition as well as results of operations due to resulting changes in depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value allocation. The acquisitions of real estate subject to this estimate totaled one building within an existing multi-tenant income property, one vacant land parcel within an existing multi-tenant property, and one multi-tenant property for an aggregate purchase price of $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and four buildings within an existing multi-tenant income property and one additional multi-tenant property for an aggregate purchase price of $75.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, for further discussion of the Company’s accounting estimates and policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risk (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which we are exposed is interest rate risk relating to our debt. We may utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments as a means to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments, if any, is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk relating to our own debt in connection with our Credit Facility, as this facility carries a variable rate of interest. Our borrowings on our $300.0 million Credit Facility bear interest at a rate ranging from SOFR plus 0.10% plus 125 basis points to SOFR plus 0.10% plus 220 basis points based on our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility totaled $150.0 million and was fixed. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility was $209.6 million of which $109.6 million was not fixed by virtue of an interest rate swap agreement. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by $1.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from fluctuating interest rates related to certain of its debt borrowings, see Note 16, “Interest Rate Swaps” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. By virtue of fixing the variable rate on certain debt borrowings, our exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal but for the impact on other comprehensive income and loss. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
