Item 1A. Risk Factors.

​

Set forth below is a discussion of certain risks affecting our business. The categorization of risks set forth below is meant to help you better understand the risks facing our business and is not intended to limit your consideration of the possible effects of these risks to the listed categories. Any impacts from the realization of any of the risks discussed, including our financial condition and results of operations, may, and likely will, adversely affect many aspects of our business. In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, readers should carefully consider the following risk factors:

Risks Related to Our Business

If we are unable to re-rent properties upon the expiration of our leases or if our tenants default or seek bankruptcy protection, our rental income will be reduced and we would incur additional costs.

Substantially all of our rental income is derived from rent paid by our tenants. From 2024 through 2026, leases with respect to 48 tenants with 56 leases that account for 23.7% of our 2023 contractual rental income expire, including leases with 9 tenants (i.e., Office Depot, US Lumber, Burlington Coat Factory, Men’s Wearhouse, Chep USA, Forbo Siegling, Oakley Industries, Hobby Lobby, and Mitsubishi) at 12 properties that account for 10.6% of 2023 contractual rental income. From 2027 through 2028, leases with respect to 41 tenants with 49 leases that account for 29.8% of our 2023 contractual rental income, expire. If our tenants, and in particular, our significant tenants, (i) do not renew their leases upon lease expiration, (ii) default on their obligations or (iii) seek rent relief, lease renegotiation or other accommodations, our revenues would decline and, in certain cases, co-tenancy provisions (i.e., a tenant’s right to reduce their rent or terminate their lease if certain key tenants vacate a property) may be triggered possibly allowing other tenants at the same property to reduce their rental payments or terminate their leases. At the same time, we would remain responsible for the payment of the mortgage obligations with respect to the related properties, would become responsible for the operating expenses (e.g., real estate taxes, maintenance and insurance) related to these properties, and, in the event of tenant defaults, would incur expenses in enforcing our rights as landlord. Our efforts to find replacement tenants may be challenged as there are a limited number of tenants interested in certain types of properties, such as our theaters (i.e., Regal Cinemas) and health and fitness centers (i.e., LA Fitness) which accounted in the aggregate for $6.6 million of 2022 rental income (excluding $217,000 representing our 50% share of the base rent from the Manahawkin Property) and the cost of reconfiguring such properties to make them more attractive to a broader set of potential tenants may be prohibitive. Even if we find replacement tenants or renegotiate leases with current tenants, the terms of the new or renegotiated leases, after giving effect to tenant concessions or the cost of required renovations/reconfigurations may be less favorable than current lease terms and could reduce the amount of cash available to meet expenses and pay dividends. If we are unable to re-rent properties on favorable terms with respect to properties at which tenants default on their rent obligation or do not renew their leases at lease expiration, our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition will be adversely affected.

Traditional retail tenants account for 26.2% of our 2023 contractual rental income and the competition that such tenants face from e-commerce retail sales could adversely affect our business.

Approximately 26.2% of our 2023 contractual rental income is derived from retail tenants, including 6.5% from tenants engaged in selling furniture (i.e., Havertys Furniture accounts for 5.7% of 2023 contractual rental income) and 2.9% from a tenant engaged in selling office supplies (i.e., Office Depot, a tenant at five properties, one of which is currently closed but for which the tenant continues to pay rent). Because e-commerce retailers (unlike “bricks and mortar” or “traditional” retailers) may be able to provide customers with better pricing and the ease, comfort and safety of shopping from their home or office, our retail tenants face extensive competition from e-commerce retailers. E-commerce sales decrease the need for traditional retail outlets and reduce retailers’ space and property requirements. This adversely impacts our ability to rent space at our retail properties and increases competition for retail tenants thereby reducing the rent we would receive at these properties and adversely affecting our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

Approximately 23.6% of our 2023 contractual rental income is derived from five tenants. The default, financial distress or failure of any of these tenants, or such tenant’s determination not to renew or extend their lease, would significantly reduce our revenues.

Havertys Furniture, FedEx, LA Fitness, Northern Tool and NARDA Holdings, Inc. account for approximately 5.7%, 5.1%, 4.5%, 4.3% and 4.0%, respectively, of our 2023 contractual rental income, and the weighted average remaining lease term for such tenants is 5.7 years, 4.4 years, 6.7 years, 6.3 years and 10.7 years, respectively. The default, financial distress or bankruptcy of any of these or other significant tenants or such tenant’s determination not to renew or extend their lease, would significantly reduce our revenues, would cause interruptions in the receipt of, or the loss of, a significant amount of rental income and would require us to pay operating expenses (including real estate taxes) currently paid by the tenant. This could also result in the vacancy of the property or properties occupied by the defaulting or non-renewing tenant, which would significantly reduce our rental revenues and net income until the re-rental of the property or properties and could decrease the ultimate sale value of the property.

Write-offs of unbilled rent receivables and intangible lease assets will reduce our net income, total assets and stockholders’ equity and may result in breaches of financial covenants under our credit facility.

At December 31, 2022, the aggregate of our unbilled rent receivable and intangible lease assets is $35.9 million (including $19.8 million of intangible lease assets): five tenants (i.e., Northern Tool, Famous Footwear, NARDA Holdings, Applebee’s, and FedEx) account for 30.9% of such sum. We are required to assess the collectability of our unbilled rent receivables and the remaining useful lives of our intangible lease assets. Such assessments take into consideration, among other things, a tenant’s payment history, financial condition, and the likelihood of collectability of future rent. If we determine that the collectability of a tenant’s unbilled rent receivable is not probable or that the useful life of a tenant’s intangible lease asset has changed, write-offs would be required. Such write-offs result in a reduction of our net income, total assets and stockholders’ equity and in certain circumstances may result in the breach of our financial covenants under the credit facility.

The concentration of our properties in certain states makes our revenues and the value of our portfolio vulnerable to adverse changes in local economic conditions.

Approximately 55.2% of our 2023 contractual rental income is derived from properties located in eight states — South Carolina (10.0%), New York (8.8%), Pennsylvania (7.5%), Texas (7.5%), Georgia (6.5%), Maryland (5.2%), New Jersey (5.1%) and Minnesota (4.6%). As a result, a decline in the economic conditions in these states or in regions where our properties are concentrated, may have an adverse effect on the rental and occupancy rates for, and the property values of, these properties, which could lead to a reduction of our rental income and/or impairment charges.

Our portfolio of properties is concentrated in the industrial and retail real estate sectors, and our business would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in either of such sectors.

Approximately 63.2% and 26.2% of our 2023 contractual rental income is derived from industrial and retail tenants, respectively, and we are vulnerable to economic declines that negatively impact these sectors of the economy, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

​

Declines in the value of our properties could result in impairment charges.

If we are presented with indicators of impairment in the value of a particular property or group of properties, we will be required to perform an impairment analysis for such property or properties. If we determine that any of our properties at which indicators of impairment exist have undiscounted cash flows below the net book value of such property, we will be required to recognize an impairment charge for the difference between the fair value and the book value during the quarter in which we make such determination. Any impairment charge would reduce our net income and stockholder’s equity.

Our ability to fully control the maintenance of our net-leased properties may be limited.

The tenants of our net-leased properties are responsible for maintenance and other day-to-day management of the properties. If a property is not adequately maintained in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease, we may incur expenses for deferred maintenance or other liabilities once the property is no longer leased. While we visit our properties on an intermittent basis, these visits are not comprehensive inspections and deferred maintenance items may go unnoticed. While our leases generally provide for recourse against the tenant in these instances, a bankrupt or financially-troubled tenant may be more likely to defer maintenance, and it may be more difficult to enforce remedies against such a tenant.

A significant portion of our leases are long-term and do not have fair market rental rate adjustments, which could negatively impact our income and reduce the amount of funds available to make distributions to stockholders.

A significant portion of our rental income comes from long-term net leases. There is an increased risk with long-term leases, which risk is heightened by the current inflationary environment, that the contractual rental increases in future years will fail to result in fair market rental rates during those years. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates when negotiating these long-term leases or if we are unable to obtain any increases in rental rates over the terms of our leases, significant increases in future property operating costs, to the extent not covered under the net leases, could result in us receiving less than fair value from these leases. As a result, our income and distributions to our stockholders could be lower than they would otherwise be if we did not engage in long-term net leases. In addition, increases in interest rates may also negatively impact the value of our properties that are subject to long-term leases. While a significant number of our net leases provide for annual escalations in the rental rate, the increase in interest rates may outpace the annual escalations.

Our efforts to improve the operations of a multi-tenant community shopping center located in Manahawkin, New Jersey may be unsuccessful or fail to meet our expectations.

​

A joint venture in which we have a 50% interest has been attempting to improve the operations of a multi-tenant community shopping center it owns at the Manahawkin Property. For the past several years, we had focused on pursuing a re-development of this property. As a result of these efforts, there was a decrease in occupancy (i.e., occupancy rates of 90.9% and 52.8% at December 31, 2017 and 2022, respectively), and the income and cash flow from this property is significantly lower than it was several years ago. (See “—Challenges and Uncertainties Facing Certain Tenants and Properties”). We are pursuing, as an alternative to the re-development, the possible sale of the 112,000 square foot untenanted parcel formerly tenanted by Kmart, which we refer to as the Sale Parcel, with a view to selling to a buyer that we believe will serve as a strong anchor to the Manahawkin Property. We have not entered into a contract to sell the Sale Parcel, and we anticipate that if we do enter into such a contract, the closing of the sale will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions and that it will take approximately 18 months to two years from the date the contract is signed to complete the

Table of Contents

sale. During this period, it may be difficult to maintain or improve the occupancy at the part of the Manahawkin Property that we retain after the sale is completed (the “Retained Property”) as prospective tenants may be unwilling to lease, and current tenants may be unwilling to remain at the property. We can provide no assurance that a contract for the sale of the Sale Parcel will be signed, that if signed, that the sale will be completed or that if completed, that the operations at the Retained Property will improve. If we are unable to sell the Sale Parcel on acceptable terms, we may resume our re-development efforts. To date, no construction has begun in connection with the re-development, and there is significant uncertainty as to whether a re-development, if pursued, would be successful. Our net income, cash flow and financial condition will be adversely affected if significant tenants at the Manahawkin Property or the Retained Property, such as Regal Cinemas, cease paying rent, or pay less rent, or if we are unable, whether as a result of a sale, a re-development, or some other transformative transaction, to improve the operations of the Manahawkin Property or the Retained Property.

Risks Related to Our Financing Activities, Indebtedness and Capital Resources

If we are unable to refinance our mortgage loans at maturity, we may be forced to sell properties at disadvantageous terms, which would result in the loss of revenues and in a decline in the value of our portfolio.

We had, as of December 31, 2022, $409.2 million in mortgage debt outstanding (all of which is non-recourse subject to standard carve-outs). The risks associated with our mortgage debt, include the risks that cash flow from properties securing the indebtedness and our available cash and cash equivalents will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest.

Generally, only a portion of the principal of our mortgage indebtedness will be repaid prior to or at maturity and we do not plan to retain sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness at maturity. Accordingly, to meet these obligations if they cannot be refinanced at maturity, we will have to use funds available under our credit facility, if any, and our available cash and cash equivalents to pay our mortgage debt or seek to raise funds through the financing of unencumbered properties, sale of properties or the issuance of additional equity. From 2023 through 2027, approximately $153 million of our mortgage debt matures—specifically, $13.0 million in 2023, $50.7 million in 2024, $32.1 million in 2025, $19.2 million in 2026 and $38.5 million in 2027. If we are unsuccessful in refinancing or extending existing mortgage indebtedness or financing unencumbered properties, selling properties on favorable terms or raising additional equity, our cash flow will be insufficient to repay all maturing mortgage debt when payments become due, and we may be forced to dispose of properties on disadvantageous terms or convey properties secured by mortgages to the mortgagees, which would lower our revenues and the value of our portfolio.

We may find that the value of a property could be less than the mortgage secured by such property. We may also have to decide whether we should refinance or pay off a mortgage on a property at which the mortgage matures prior to lease expiration and the tenant may not renew the lease. In these types of situations, after evaluating various factors, including among other things, the tenant’s competitive position in the applicable sub-market, our and our tenant’s estimates of its prospects, consideration of alternative uses and opportunities to re-purpose or re-let the property, we may seek to renegotiate the terms of the mortgage, or to the extent that the loan is non-recourse and the terms of the mortgage cannot be satisfactorily renegotiated, forfeit the property by conveying it to the mortgagee and writing off our investment.

Volatile or increasing interest rates, or credit market tightening, may make it more difficult for us to secure financing, which may limit our ability to finance or refinance our real estate properties, reduce the number of properties we can acquire, sell certain properties, and decrease our stock price.

Increases or volatility in interest rates, or reduced access to credit markets, may make it difficult for us to obtain financing, refinance mortgage debt, limit the mortgage debt available on properties we wish to acquire and limit the properties we can acquire. Even in the event that we are able to secure mortgage debt on, or otherwise finance our real estate properties, due to increased costs associated with securing financing and other factors beyond our control, we may be unable to refinance the entire outstanding loan balance or be subject to unfavorable terms (such as higher loan fees, interest rates and periodic payments). In addition, increasing interest rates could decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to dispose of assets on more favorable terms.

Interest rates have become increasingly volatile and during the three years ended December 31, 2022, the interest rate on the 10-year treasury notes ranged from 0.38% to 4.33%. At March 1, 2023, the interest rate on such notes was 3.99%. If we are required to refinance mortgage debt that matures over the next several years at higher interest rates than such mortgage debt currently bears, the funds available for dividends may be reduced. The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2022, the principal balance of the mortgage payments due at maturity on our properties and the weighted average interest rate thereon (dollars in thousands):

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​ Principal ​

​ ​ Balances ​ Weighted Average

​ ​ Due at ​ Interest Rate

​

We manage a substantial portion of our exposure to interest rate risk by accessing debt with staggered maturities, obtaining fixed rate mortgage debt and by fixing the interest rate on variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swap agreements. However, no amount of hedging activity can fully insulate us from the risks associated with changes in interest rates. Swap agreements involve risk, including that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, and these arrangements have caused us to pay higher interest rates on our debt obligations than would otherwise be the case. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate risk could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Because REIT stocks are often perceived as high-yield investments, investors may perceive less relative benefit to owning REIT stocks as interest rates and the yield on government treasuries and other bonds increase or are especially volatile. Accordingly, increases and volatility in interest rates may reduce the amount investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

If our borrowings increase, the risk of default on our repayment obligations and our debt service requirements will also increase.

At December 31, 2022, we had $431.0 million of debt outstanding, including $409.2 million of mortgage debt and $21.8 million of debt incurred pursuant to our credit facility. Increased leverage, whether pursuant to our credit facility or mortgage debt, could result in increased risk of default on our payment obligations related to borrowings and in an increase in debt service requirements, which could reduce our net income and the amount of cash available to meet expenses and to pay dividends.

A breach of our credit facility could occur if a significant number of our tenants default or fail to renew expiring leases, or we take impairment charges against our properties.

​

Our credit facility includes covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with other requirements. If our tenants default under their leases or fail to renew expiring leases, we may recognize impairment charges against our properties, and our financial position could be adversely affected causing us to be in breach of the financial covenants contained in our credit facility.

​

Failure to meet interest and other payment obligations under our revolving credit facility or a breach by us of the covenants to maintain the financial ratios would place us in default under our credit facility, and, if the banks called a default and required us to repay the full amount outstanding under the credit facility, we might be required to rapidly dispose of our properties, which could have an adverse impact on the amounts we receive on such disposition. If we are unable to dispose of our properties in a timely fashion to the satisfaction of the banks, the banks could foreclose on that portion of our collateral pledged to the banks, which could result in the disposition of our properties at below-market values. The disposition of our properties at below our carrying value would adversely affect our net income, reduce our stockholders’ equity and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.

The phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect our cash flow and financial results.

At December 31, 2022, we have an aggregate of 15 interest rate swaps in aggregate notional amount of $41.9 million with two separate counterparties hedging our LIBOR indexed variable rate debt. The authority regulating LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after June 2023. The mortgage debt hedged by these swaps mature after June 2023. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to how the interest rate on this mortgage debt and the related swaps will be determined when LIBOR is unavailable. Though these agreements and instruments generally provide for alternative methods of calculating the interest rate if LIBOR is unavailable, such alternative rates may be unavailable (or the alternative rate provided for in the variable rate mortgage debt may be inconsistent with the alternative rate provided for by the related swap), in which case we may have to negotiate an alternative rate with the counterparties to such debt and the related swaps - we can provide no assurance that we and our counterparties will be able to agree to alternative rates. Even if alternative rates are available, the swaps may not effectively hedge our interest payment obligation on this variable rate mortgage debt and may result in fluctuating interest payments with respect to such debt. Our cash flow and financial results may be adversely affected if we are unable to arrange a mutually satisfactory alternative rate to LIBOR for such variable rate mortgage debt.

Certain of our leases require us to pay property related expenses that are not the obligations of our tenants.

In addition to satisfying their rent obligations, our tenants are generally responsible for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and ordinary maintenance and repairs. However, under the provisions of certain leases, we are required to pay some expenses, such as the costs of environmental liabilities, roof and structural repairs, insurance premiums, certain non-structural repairs and maintenance. If our properties incur significant expenses that must be paid by us under the terms of our leases, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected and the amount of cash available to meet expenses and pay dividends may be reduced.

​

Our failure to comply with our obligations under our mortgages may reduce our stockholders’ equity, and adversely affect our net income and ability to pay dividends.

Several of our mortgages include covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including various coverage ratios, and comply with other requirements. Failure to meet interest and other payment obligations under these mortgages or a breach by us of the covenants to comply with certain financial ratios would place us in non-compliance under such mortgages. If a mortgagee called a default and required us to repay the full amount outstanding under such mortgage, we might be required to rapidly dispose of the property subject to such mortgage which could have an adverse impact on the amounts we receive on such disposition. If we are unable to satisfy the covenants of a mortgage, the mortgagee could exercise remedies available to it under the applicable mortgage and as otherwise provided by law, including the possible appointment of a receiver to manage the property, application of deposits or reserves maintained under the mortgage for payment of the debt, or foreclose and/or cause the forced sale of the property or asset securing such debt. A foreclosure or other forced disposition of our assets could result in the disposition of such assets at below such assets’ carrying values. The disposition of our properties or assets at below their carrying values may adversely affect our net income, reduce our stockholders’ equity and adversely affect our ability to pay dividends.

Risks Related to Real Estate Investments

​

Our revenues and the value of our portfolio are affected by a number of factors that affect investments in leased real estate generally.

​

We are subject to the general risks of investing in leased real estate. These include the non-performance of lease obligations by tenants, leasehold improvements that will be costly or difficult to remove should it become necessary to re-rent the leased space for other uses, covenants in certain retail leases that limit the types of tenants to which available space can be rented (which may limit demand or reduce the rents realized on re-renting), rights to terminate leases due to co-tenancy provisions, events of casualty or condemnation affecting the leased space or the property or due to interruption of the tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the leased premises,

17

Table of Contents

obligations of a landlord to restore the leased premises or the property following events of casualty or condemnation, adverse changes in economic conditions and local conditions (e.g., changing demographics, retailing trends and traffic patterns), declines in rental rates, changes in the supply and price of quality properties and the market supply and demand of competing properties, the impact of environmental laws, security concerns, prepayment penalties applicable under mortgage financings, changes in tax, zoning, building code, fire safety and other laws and regulations, the type of insurance coverage available, and changes in the type, capacity and sophistication of building systems. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and their values may decline.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Therefore, we will be limited in our ability to reconfigure our real estate portfolio in response to economic changes. We may encounter difficulty in disposing of properties when tenants vacate either at the expiration of the applicable lease or otherwise. If we decide to sell any of our properties, our ability to sell these properties and the prices we receive on their sale may be affected by many factors, including the number of potential buyers, the number of competing properties on the market and other market conditions, as well as whether the property is leased and if it is leased, the terms of the lease. As a result, we may be unable to sell our properties for an extended period of time without incurring a loss, which would adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Uninsured and underinsured losses may affect the revenues generated by, the value of, and the return from a property affected by a casualty or other claim.

Most of our tenants obtain, for our benefit, comprehensive insurance covering our properties in amounts that are intended to be sufficient to provide for the replacement of the improvements at each property. However, the amount of insurance coverage maintained for any property may be insufficient (i) to pay the full replacement cost of the improvements at the property following a casualty event or (ii) if coverage is provided pursuant to a blanket policy and the tenant’s other properties are subject to insurance claims. In addition, the rent loss coverage under the policy may not extend for the full period of time that a tenant may be entitled to a rent abatement as a result of, or that may be required to complete restoration following, a casualty event. In addition, there are certain types of losses, such as those arising from earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and terrorist attacks, that may be uninsurable or that may not be economically insurable. Changes in zoning, building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors also may make it impossible or impracticable for us to use insurance proceeds to replace damaged or destroyed improvements at a property. If restoration is not or cannot be completed to the extent, or within the period of time, specified in certain of our leases, the tenant may have the right to terminate the lease. If any of these or similar events occur, it may reduce our revenues, the value of, or our return from, an affected property.

We have been, and will continue to be, subject to significant competition and we may not be able to compete successfully for investments.

We have been, and will continue to be, subject to significant competition for attractive investment opportunities, and in particular, opportunities for industrial properties which are the primary focus of our and many of our competitors acquisition efforts. Our competitors include publicly-traded REITs, non-traded REITs, insurance companies, commercial and investment banking firms, private institutional funds, hedge funds, private equity funds and other investors, many of whom have greater financial and other resources than we have. We may not be able to compete successfully for investments. If we pay higher prices for investments, our returns may be lower and the value of our assets may not increase or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for such assets. If such events occur, we may experience lower returns on our investments.

Our current and future investments in joint ventures could be adversely affected by the lack of sole decision making authority, reliance on joint venture partners’ financial condition or insurance coverage, disputes that may arise between our joint venture partners and us and our reliance on one significant joint venture partner.

Six properties in which we have an interest are owned through consolidated joint ventures (three properties) and unconsolidated joint ventures (three properties). We may continue to acquire properties through joint

18

Table of Contents

ventures and/or contribute some of our properties to joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present when a third party is not involved, including the possibility that joint venture partners might file for bankruptcy protection, fail to fund their share of required capital contributions or obtain insurance coverage pursuant to a blanket policy as a result of which claims with respect to other properties covered by such policy and in which we have no interest could reduce or eliminate the coverage available with respect to the joint venture properties. Further, joint venture partners may have conflicting business interests or goals, and as a result there is the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale and the timing thereof. Any disputes that may arise between joint venture partners and us may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the joint venture to additional risk. With respect to our (i) consolidated joint ventures, we own, with two joint venture partners and their respective affiliates, properties that account for 4.1% of 2023 contractual rental income, and (ii) unconsolidated joint ventures, we own, with two joint venture partners and their affiliates, properties which account for our $1.4 million share of 2023 base rent payable. We may be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain a satisfactory working relationship with these joint venture partners or if any of these partners becomes financially distressed.

Regulatory and Tax Risks

Compliance with environmental regulations and associated costs could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real property may be required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at the property and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred in connection with contamination. The cost of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate a property, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent the property or to borrow money using the property as collateral. In connection with our ownership, operation and management of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of the properties and, therefore, potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other related costs, including governmental fines and liability for injuries to persons and property, not only with respect to properties we own now or may acquire, but also with respect to properties we have owned in the past.

We cannot provide any assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to any of our properties reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that any prior owner of a property did not create any material environmental condition not known to us, or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist, or may not exist in the future, as to any one or more of our properties. If a material environmental condition does in fact exist, or exists in the future, the remediation costs could have a material adverse impact upon our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act could be costly.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all public accommodations must meet Federal requirements for access and use by disabled persons. A determination that our properties do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act could result in liability for both governmental fines and damages. If we are required to make unanticipated major modifications to any of our properties to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which are determined not to be the responsibility of our tenants, we could incur unanticipated expenses that could have an adverse impact upon our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Legislative or regulatory tax changes could have an adverse effect on us.

There are a number of issues associated with an investment in a REIT that are related to the Federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, the consequences of our failing to continue to qualify as a REIT. At any time, the Federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be

19

Table of Contents

amended or modified. Any new laws or interpretations may take effect retroactively and could adversely affect us or our stockholders.

Risks Related to OLP’s Organization, Structure and Ownership of Stock

Our transactions with affiliated entities involve conflicts of interest.

From time to time we have entered into transactions with persons and entities affiliated with us and with certain of our officers and directors. Such transactions involve a potential conflict of interest and entail a risk that we could have obtained more favorable terms if we had entered into such transaction with an unaffiliated third party. We are a party to a compensation and services agreement with Majestic Property effective as of January 1, 2007, as amended. Majestic Property is wholly owned by the vice chairman of our board of directors and it provides compensation to certain of our part-time senior executive officers and other individuals performing services on our behalf. Pursuant to the compensation and services agreement, we pay an annual fee to Majestic Property which provides us with the Services. See “Item 1. Business—Human Capital Resources”. In 2022 we paid, and in 2023 we anticipate paying, Majestic Property, (i) a fee of $3.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, and (ii) $317,000 and $317,000, respectively, for our share of all direct office expenses, including rent, telephone, postage, computer services, supplies, and internet usage. We also obtain our property insurance in conjunction with Gould Investors L.P., our affiliate, and in 2022, reimbursed Gould Investors $586,000 for our share of the insurance premiums paid by Gould Investors. At December 31, 2022, Gould Investors beneficially owns approximately 9.5% of our outstanding common stock and certain of our senior executive officers are also executive officers of the managing general partner of Gould Investors. See Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements for information regarding equity awards to individuals performing services on our behalf pursuant to the compensation and services agreement.

Our senior management and other key personnel, including those performing services on a part-time basis, are critical to our business and our future success depends on our ability to retain them.

We depend on the services of Matthew J. Gould, chairman of our board of directors, Fredric H. Gould, vice chairman of our board of directors, Patrick J. Callan, Jr., our president and chief executive officer, Lawrence G. Ricketts, Jr., our executive vice president and chief operating officer, and David W. Kalish, our senior vice president and chief financial officer, and other members of senior management to carry out our business and investment strategies. Of the foregoing executive officers, only Messrs. Callan and Ricketts, devote all of their business time to us. Other members of senior management provide services to us either on a full-time or part-time, as-needed basis. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key personnel, the inability or failure of the members of senior management providing services to us on a part-time basis to devote sufficient time or attention to our activities or our inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could impair our ability to carry out our business and investment strategies.

Failure to qualify as a REIT could result in material adverse tax consequences and could significantly reduce cash available for distributions.

We operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code. Qualification as a REIT involves the application of technical and complex legal provisions for which there are limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In addition, no assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly change the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification. If we fail to quality as a REIT, we will be subject to federal, certain additional state and local income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and would not be allowed a deduction in computing our taxable income for amounts distributed to stockholders. In addition, unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. The additional tax would reduce significantly our net income and the cash available to pay dividends.

We are subject to certain distribution requirements that may result in our having to borrow funds at unfavorable rates.

To obtain the favorable tax treatment associated with being a REIT, we generally are required, among other things, to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) each year. To the extent that we satisfy these distribution requirements but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income we will be subject to Federal and state corporate tax on our undistributed taxable income.

As a result of differences in timing between the receipt of income and the payment of expenses, and the inclusion of such income and the deduction of such expenses in arriving at taxable income, and the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures and the timing of required debt service (including amortization) payments, we may need to borrow funds in order to make the distributions necessary to retain the tax benefits associated with qualifying as a REIT, even if we believe that then prevailing market conditions are not generally favorable for such borrowings. Such borrowings could reduce our net income and the cash available to pay dividends.

Compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our ability to maximize profits.

In order to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of income, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our stock. We may also be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Accordingly, compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

21

Table of Contents

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and real estate assets. Any investment in securities cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer, other than a qualified REIT security. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we must dispose of such portion of these securities in excess of these percentages within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in order to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. This requirement could cause us to dispose of assets for consideration that is less than their true value and could lead to an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

If we reduce or do not increase our dividend, the market value of our common stock may decline.

The level of our dividend is established by our board of directors from time to time based on a variety of factors, including our cash available for distribution, funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations and maintenance of our REIT status. Various factors could cause our board of directors to decrease or not increase our dividend, including tenant defaults or bankruptcies resulting in a material reduction in our funds from operations, a material loss resulting from an adverse change in the value of one or more of our properties, or insufficient income to cover our dividends. It is possible that a portion of the dividends we would pay in 2023 would constitute a return of capital and in such event we would not be required to pay such sum to maintain our REIT status. If our board of directors determines to reduce or not increase our dividend for the foregoing or any other reason, the market value of our common stock could be adversely affected.

General Business Risks

Enhanced market and economic volatility due to adverse economic and geopolitical conditions, health crises or dislocations in the credit markets, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends.

Our business may be adversely affected by market and economic volatility experienced by the U.S. and global economies, the real estate industry as a whole and/or the local economies in the markets in which our properties are located. Such adverse conditions may be due to, among other issues, rising inflation and interest rates, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, labor market challenges and international economic and other conditions, including pandemics, geopolitical instability (such as the war in Ukraine), sanctions and other conditions beyond our control. These current conditions, or similar conditions existing in the future, may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends as a result of one or more of the following, among other potential consequences:

Breaches of information technology systems could materially harm our business and reputation.

We collect and retain on information technology systems, certain financial, personal and other sensitive information provided by third parties, including tenants, vendors, employees and joint venture partners. We also rely on information technology systems for the collection and distribution of funds. We have been, and continue to be, subject to cybersecurity attacks though we have not incurred any significant loss therefrom. There can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information or the unauthorized distribution of funds. Any loss of this information or unauthorized distribution of funds as a result of a cybersecurity attack may result in loss of funds to which we are entitled, legal liability and costs (including damages and penalties), as well as damage to our reputation, that could materially and adversely affect our business.

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition and the profitability of our properties.

Our business and the businesses of our tenants could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could cause customers to avoid retail properties, and with respect to our properties generally, could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our tenants’ supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our tenants’ inventory. Moreover, an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis, such as COVID-19, could cause the on-site employees of our tenants to avoid our tenants’ properties, which could adversely affect our tenants’ ability to adequately manage their businesses. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our tenants’ stores or facilities. Such events could adversely impact our tenants’ sales and/or cause the temporary closure of our tenants’ businesses, which could severely disrupt their operations and the rental revenue we generate from our leases with them. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could have an adverse impact on our financial condition.

We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents between several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. However, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation only insures accounts in amounts up to $250,000 per depositor per insured bank. We currently have cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions significantly in excess of federally insured levels. If any of the banking institutions in which we have deposited funds ultimately fails, we may lose our deposits over $250,000. The loss of our deposits may have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

We qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. In order to maintain that status, we are required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our annual ordinary taxable income. The amount and timing of future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, earnings, business plan, cash flow and other factors. We intend to make distributions in an amount at least equal to that necessary for us to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust for Federal income tax purposes.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

​

Overview

​

We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on acquiring, owning and managing a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial and retail properties, many of which are subject to long-term leases. Most of our leases are “net leases” under which the tenant, directly or indirectly, is responsible for paying the real estate taxes, insurance and ordinary maintenance and repairs of the property. As of December 31, 2022, we own, in 31 states, 120 properties, including three properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and three properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures.

Challenges and Uncertainties as a Result of the Volatile Economic Environment

​

During 2022, economic uncertainty and stock market volatility increased due to a number of factors, including rising inflation, increasing interest rates, the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, and lingering supply chain disruptions. This uncertainty, volatility and the related causes may adversely impact us in the future. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay (or to reimburse us for) their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation or other factors. Additionally, many of our leases include scheduled rent increases. In the event inflation causes increases in our real estate operating expense (to the extent such expense is not paid directly by or reimbursed to us by our tenants), general and administrative expenses, or higher interest rates on our floating rate debt increase our cost of doing business, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect our results of operations. Finally, due to these uncertain conditions, we anticipate that in the near-term we may reduce the number of properties we acquire. As a result, our ability, in the near term, to grow revenue and net income through acquisitions will be adversely affected.

​

General Challenges and Uncertainties

​

In addition to the challenges and uncertainties as also described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, and “— Challenges and Uncertainties as a Result of the Volatile Economic Environment”, we, among other things, face additional challenges and uncertainties, including the possibility we will not be able to: lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all; collect amounts owed to us by our tenants; renew or re-let, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring or otherwise terminating; acquire or dispose of properties on acceptable terms; or grow, through acquisitions or otherwise, our property portfolio so as to generate additional rental and net income. If we are unable to address these challenges successfully, we may be unable to sustain our current level of dividend payments.

We generally seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by (i) diversifying among locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations, mortgage maturities and lenders, and types of properties (although over the past several years, we have focused, and we continue to focus, on acquiring industrial properties), and (ii) minimizing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. As a result, as of December 31, 2022:

​

​

​

​

We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenant’s financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements or other financial information, obtaining other tenant related information, changes in tenant payment patterns, regular contact with tenant’s representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenant’s financial condition is unsatisfactory.

​

We monitor, on an ongoing basis, our expiring leases and generally approach tenants with expiring leases (including those subject to renewal options) at least a year prior to lease expiration to determine their interest in renewing their leases. During the three years ending December 31, 2025, 54 leases for 48 tenants at 39 properties representing $15.4 million, or 21.5%, of 2023 contractual rental income expire.

​

In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination.

​

We are sensitive to the risks facing the retail industry as a result of the growth of e-commerce. Over the past several years, we have been addressing our exposure to the retail industry by focusing on acquiring industrial properties (including warehouse and distribution facilities) and properties that we believe capitalize on e-commerce activities – since September 2016, we have not acquired any retail properties and have sold 18 retail properties. As a result of the focus on industrial properties and the sale of retail properties, industrial properties generated 57.3% of rental income, net, in 2022, compared to 35.1% of rental income, net in 2017, and retail properties generated 25.7% of rental income, net, in 2022, compared to 43.7% of rental income, net, in 2017.

​

At December 31, 2022, we have variable rate mortgage debt in the principal amount of $41.9 million that bear interest equal to 30-day LIBOR plus a negotiated spread. This mortgage debt is hedged through interest rate swaps. The authority regulating LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the circulation of LIBOR after June 2023. As all of this mortgage debt and the related notional amount of the interest rate swaps mature after June 2023, there is uncertainty as to how the interest rate on this variable rate debt and the related swaps will be determined when LIBOR is unavailable.

Challenges and Uncertainties Facing Certain Properties and Tenants

Set forth below is a description of the challenges and uncertainties facing certain tenants or properties. If these challenges, and in particular, the challenges faced by Regal Cinemas, The Vue and the Manahawkin Property, are not resolved in a satisfactory manner, we will be adversely affected.

Regal Cinemas

Regal Cinemas, or Regal, is a tenant at three properties, including a property owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which we have a 50% equity interest. Regal’s parent, Cineworld Group plc, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2022. At December 31, 2022, Regal is obligated to pay us (and with respect to the unconsolidated joint venture, our 50% share of), (i) through December 31, 2023, $2.8 million, including $634,000 of COVID-19 rent deferral repayments, and (ii) from January 1, 2024 through 2035, an aggregate of $21.7 million of base rent (collectively, the “Obligated Amount”). During 2022, we collected $996,000 of deferred rent and $2.0 million of base rent, representing 91.7% of the deferred rent and base rent payable by Regal. Through March 6, 2023, we collected an aggregate of (i) $808,000 representing 100% of the base rent and deferred rent due through March 2023 and (ii) $67,000 representing 24.9% of the base rent and deferred rents due from 2022. (Because the collection of amounts owed by Regal is deemed to be less than probable, we have not accrued Regal’s base rent or deferred rent and since October 2020, have been reporting same on a cash basis). We and Regal are discussing significant modifications to the terms of these leases, including the cancellation of deferred rent, the reduction of base rent and shortened lease terms. We anticipate that the amounts we collect will be significantly reduced from the Obligated Amount and there is uncertainty as to whether we will be required to take an impairment with respect to these properties. We can provide no assurance that we will reach an agreement with Regal and that even if an agreement is reached, that it will be approved by any third parties, such as the bankruptcy court, whose approvals are required. If an agreement is not reached or third party approvals not obtained, it will be difficult and costly (due, among other things, to the unique configuration of theater properties) to find a replacement tenant. We summarize below certain information about these properties.

1.Consolidated Properties

At December 31, 2022, our Indianapolis, Indiana property had mortgage debt, intangible lease liabilities and intangible lease assets of approximately $3.8 million, $569,000 and $595,000, respectively. There is no mortgage debt, intangible lease liabilities or intangible lease assets at the Greensboro, North Carolina property at which we lease the underlying fee and in turn lease the property to Regal. We estimate that the carrying costs for these two properties for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, are approximately $1.3 million, including ground lease rent of $464,000 (which sum has historically been paid directly by Regal to the owner of the Greensboro property), real estate taxes of approximately $249,000, and debt service of $425,000 (including $109,000 of deferred interest payments). Regal is the primary obligor with respect to $456,000 of these carrying costs and we are responsible with respect to such amount if it is not paid by Regal.

2.Unconsolidated Property

Regal is a tenant at the Manahawkin Property and which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture. Our 50% share of the base rent paid by Regal at this property during 2022 and 2021 was $217,000 and $139,000, respectively, representing 15.3% and 10.4%, respectively, of our share of the total base rent payable by all tenants at the Manahawkin Property, respectively. (Our 50% share of the deferred rent paid by Regal at this property during 2022 was $111,000 and is excluded from the base rent payments described in the immediately preceding sentence). At December 31, 2022, our share of the mortgage debt at this property was approximately $10.7 million.

The Vue – Beachwood, Ohio

A multi-family complex, which we refer to as The Vue, ground leases from us the underlying land located in Beachwood, Ohio. Since 2018, the property has faced, and we anticipate that the property will continue to face, occupancy and financial challenges, and our tenant has not paid rent since October 2020 (i.e., an aggregate of $3.0 million that would have been due had it generated specified levels of positive operating cash flow), and we anticipate that it will not pay rent for an extended period. After giving effect to debt service, the property is operating on a negative cash flow basis, and we anticipate that such trend will continue for an extended period. Since 2021 (through March 6, 2023), we provided The Vue with an aggregate of $2.9 million to cover, among other things, operating cash flow shortfalls and capital expenditures, and we estimate that in the balance of 2023, we will provide approximately $538,000 in funding for this property. At December 31, 2022, (i) there are no unbilled rent receivables, intangibles or tenant origination costs associated with this property and (ii) the net book value of our land subject to this ground lease is $16.5 million and is subordinate to $64.8 million of mortgage debt incurred by the owner/operator. Our cash flow will be adversely impacted by our funding of additional capital expenditures and operating expense shortfalls at the property (including our payment of the tenant’s debt service obligations) and the tenant’s continuing non-payment of rent. We may incur a substantial impairment charge with respect to this property if we determine that the property is impaired. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

​

See “— Receipt of Settlement Proceeds from Litigation involving The Vue” for information regarding the settlement of litigation involving this property.

The Manahawkin Property

We are exploring various alternatives with respect to the Manahawkin Property, which is owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which we have a 50% equity interest. For the past several years, we had pursued a re-development of this property. As a result, the income and cash flow from this property is significantly less than it was several years ago and at December 31, 2022, the occupancy rate was 52.8%. In 2022, the property’s operating cash flow (including debt service payments) exceeded the property’s carrying costs by approximately $639,000 (after giving effect to an aggregate of $657,000 of rent and deferred rent collected from Regal Cinemas) and in 2021, the property’s carrying costs exceeded the property’s operating cash flow by approximately $142,000. We are pursuing, as an alternative to the re-development, the possible sale of the 112,000 square foot untenanted parcel formerly tenanted by Kmart, which we refer to as the Sale Parcel, with a view to selling to a buyer that we believe will serve as a strong anchor to the Manahawkin Property. We have not entered into a contract to sell the Sale Parcel, and we anticipate that if we do enter into such a contract, the closing of the sale will be subject to the satisfaction of various conditions and that it will take approximately 18 months to two years from the date the contract is signed to complete the sale. During this period, it may be difficult to maintain or improve the occupancy at the portion of the Manahawkin Property that we retain (the “Retained Property”) as prospective tenants may be unwilling to lease, and current tenants may be unwilling to stay, until the sale is completed. We can provide no assurance that a contract for the sale of the Sale Parcel will be signed, that if signed, that this sale will be completed, or that if completed, that the operations at the Retained Property will improve. If we are unable to complete this sale on acceptable terms, we may resume our re-development efforts. To date, no construction has begun in connection with the re-development, and there is significant uncertainty as to whether a re-development, if pursued, would be successful. As of December 31, 2022, our share of the capitalized costs (primarily soft costs), related to the re-development is $577,000. Our net income, cash flow and financial condition will be adversely affected if significant tenants at the Manahawkin Property or the Retained Property, such as Regal Cinemas, cease paying rent or pay less rent or if we are unable, whether as a result of a sale, a re-development, or some other transformative transaction, improve the operations of the Manahawkin Property or the Retained Property.

LA Fitness, a health and fitness tenant that leases a 38,000 square foot building located in Hamilton, Ohio, has advised that it does not intend to renew this lease when it expires in November 2023. This property accounted for (i) $915,000 of rental income in 2022 and accounts for 1.0% of 2023 contractual rental income and (ii) in 2022, $197,000, $170,000 and $210,000 of interest expense, real estate operating expense and depreciation and amortization expense, respectively, at this property. At December 31, 2022, the mortgage debt, unbilled rent receivable and tenant origination cost with respect to this property was $4.1 million, $41,000 and $34,000, respectively. Due to the limited number of health and fitness operators, and the presence nearby of another health and fitness facility, it may be difficult to re-lease this property to another such operator, and if we are unable to re-lease this property to such an operator, it may be costly to reconfigure the space for another tenant.

​

Bed Bath and Beyond

​

Bed Bath & Beyond (“BBBY”) leases, through 2027, a 32,138 square foot property located in Kennesaw, Georgia. This tenant’s lease expires in 2027 and through the stated expiration of this lease, BBBY was obligated to pay us an aggregate of $2.5 million of base rent. BBBY has been experiencing significant financial difficulty. This property accounted for (i) $629,000 of rental income in 2022 and accounts for 0.8% of 2023 contractual rental income and (ii) in 2022, $168,000, $56,000 and $218,000 of interest expense, real estate operating expense, and depreciation and amortization expense, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the mortgage debt and unbilled rent receivable with respect to this property was $4.6 million and $142,000, respectively.

Party City

​

Party City, a tenant that leases 11,248 square feet at a 54,229 square foot multi-tenant property located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2023. This tenant’s lease expires in 2031 and through the stated expiration of this lease, this tenant was obligated to pay us an aggregate of $1.5 million base rent. This tenant accounted for (i) $209,000 of rental income in 2022 and accounts for 0.2% of 2023 contractual rental income and (ii) in 2022, (solely based on its pro rata share of the square footage at the property) $27,109 and $72,000 of real estate operating expense and depreciation expense, respectively, at such property. At December 31, 2022, the unbilled rent receivable balance with respect to this tenant was $33,000.

Settlement of Round Rock Guaranty Litigation

On April 15, 2022, we received $5.4 million in connection with the settlement of the lawsuit captioned OLP Wyoming Springs, LLC, Plaintiff, v. Harden Healthcare, LLC, Defendant, v Benjamin Hanson, Intervenor, which sum is recognized as Income on settlement of litigation on our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Receipt of Settlement Proceeds from Litigation involving The Vue

Our ground lease tenant at The Vue - Beachwood, Ohio, was a plaintiff/claimant in various legal proceedings (the “Proceedings”) against, among others, the developer of such apartment complex alleging, among other things, that the building’s construction was flawed. The Proceedings were settled in the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and although we were not a party to the Proceedings, pursuant to the lease with the tenant we received, in early January 2023, $4.6 million from the settlement. This sum is included as Escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and reflected as Rental income, net on our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2022.

​

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase in 2022 is due to an increase at our Manahawkin Property resulting primarily from an increase of $188,000 (our 50% share) in rental income, including $111,000 of deferred rent from 2020 and 2021, that we received from Regal Cinemas, a tenant for which we are recording rental income on a cash basis (see “—Challenges and Uncertainties Facing Certain Tenants and Properties”).

​

Equity in earnings from sale of unconsolidated joint venture property. The 2021 results represent a gain of $805,000 from the sale of a portion of a joint venture’s property in Savannah, Georgia.

​

​

The decrease in 2022 is due primarily to the decrease in the average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding which resulted from mortgage payoffs (generally, as they matured or in connection with property sales) and scheduled amortization payments. The decrease was offset by financings effectuated in connection with acquisitions and refinancings.

The change is due to the increases on the credit line (i) in the weighted average interest rate, and (ii) of $6.0 million in the weighted average balance outstanding.

​

Amortization and write-off of deferred financing costs. The increase in 2022 includes an increase of $209,000 related to the write-off of deferred costs related to the mortgages on the eleven Havertys properties that were paid off in June 2022. Offsetting the increase was $101,000 related to write-offs of deferred costs in connection with the sales of properties in 2021, of which $67,000 was related to the sale of our West Hartford, Connecticut properties.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

We compute funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets.

We compute adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO ,by adjusting from FFO for straight-line rent accruals and amortization of lease intangibles, deducting from income additional rent from ground lease tenant, income on settlement of litigation, income on insurance recoveries from casualties, lease termination and assignment fees, and adding back amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock unit compensation expense, amortization of costs in connection with its financing activities (including its share of its unconsolidated joint ventures), debt prepayment costs and amortization of lease incentives and mortgage intangible assets. Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO varies from one REIT to another.

We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders.

Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

​

​

The $13.6 million, or 37.6%, increase in FFO is due primarily to:

● the $5.4 million income from the settlement of the Round Rock Litigation,

● a $901,000 decrease in prepayment costs on debt, and

● a $370,000 decrease in interest expense.

Offsetting the increase is:

● a $1.7 million increase in real estate operating expenses,

● a $948,000 increase in general and administrative expense, and

● a $535,000 decrease in lease termination fee income.

See “—Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021” for further information regarding these changes.

​

The $1.1 million, or 2.6%, increase in AFFO is due to the increase in FFO as described above, offset by the exclusion from AFFO in 2022 of:

● the $5.4 million income from the settlement of the Round Rock Litigation,

● the $4.6 million from The Vue settlement,

● a $901,000 decrease in prepayment costs on debt.

AFFO for 2022 and 2021 exclude lease termination fee income of $25,000 and $560,000, respectively.

See “—Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021” for further information regarding these changes.

Diluted per share FFO and AFFO were impacted negatively in the year ended December 31, 2022 by an average increase from December 31, 2021 of approximately 200,000 in the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as a result of stock issuances pursuant to the equity incentive, at-the-market equity offering and dividend reinvestment programs, offset by the Company’s repurchase of shares during 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

​

Our sources of liquidity and capital include cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans, obtaining mortgage loans secured by our unencumbered properties, issuance of our equity securities and property sales. In 2022, we obtained approximately $28.7 million of net proceeds from property sales (after giving effect to $1.6 million of mortgage debt repayments), $48.9 million of proceeds from mortgage financings (after giving effect to $27.8 million of refinanced amounts) and $5.4 million from the settlement of a lawsuit involving our former assisted living facility in Round Rock, Texas. Our available liquidity at March 6, 2023 was approximately $94.9 million, including approximately $6.4 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility’s required $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and, subject to borrowing base requirements, up to $88.5 million available under our credit facility.

Liquidity and Financing

​

We expect to meet our short term (i.e., one year or less) and long term (i) operating cash requirements (including debt service and anticipated dividend payments) principally from cash flow from operations, our available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from and, to the extent permitted and needed, our credit facility and (ii) investing and financing cash requirements (including an estimated aggregate of $3.8 million of capital and other expenditures) from the foregoing, as well as property financings, property sales and sales of our common stock. We and our joint venture partner have also pursued a re-development of the Manahawkin Property – however, as we may sell the Sale Parcel and not pursue a re-development, we are not providing an estimate of the re-development costs or the time frame within which a re-development would be completed, if pursued.

​

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2022, information with respect to our mortgage debt that is payable from January 2023 through December 31, 2025 (excluding the mortgage debt of our unconsolidated joint venture):

​

​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

​

At December 31, 2022, an unconsolidated joint venture had a first mortgage on its property (i.e., the Manahawkin Property) with an outstanding balance of approximately $21.3 million, bearing interest at 4.0% per annum and maturing in July 2025.

​

We intend to make debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and, though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, generally intend to refinance, extend or payoff the mortgage loans which mature in 2023 through 2025. We intend to repay the amounts not refinanced or extended from our existing funds and sources of funds, including our available cash, proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our credit facility (to the extent available).

​

We continually seek to refinance existing mortgage loans on terms we deem acceptable to generate additional liquidity. Additionally, in the normal course of our business, we sell properties when we determine that it is in our best interests, which also generates additional liquidity. Further, although we have done so infrequently and primarily in the context of a tenant default at a property for which we have not found a replacement tenant, if we believe we have negative equity in a property subject to a non-recourse mortgage loan, we may convey such property to the mortgagee to terminate our mortgage obligations, including payment of interest, principal and real estate taxes, with respect to such property.

​

Typically, we utilize funds from our credit facility to acquire a property and, thereafter secure long-term, fixed rate mortgage debt on such property. We apply the proceeds from the mortgage loan to repay borrowings under the credit facility, thus providing us with the ability to re-borrow under the credit facility for the acquisition of additional properties.
