The Company includes the REIT, the Operating Partnership, wholly owned limited liability corporationscompanies which own or operate the properties and, for the periods presented prior to September 30, 2022, the taxable REIT subsidiary which operatesformerly operated the HamptonClemson Best Western University Inn, Property.a hotel with 148 rooms on 5.92 acres in Clemson, South Carolina (“the Clemson Best Western Property”), which the Company sold on September 29, 2022.  As a REIT, certain tax laws limit the amount of “non-qualifying” income that Company can earn, including income derived directly from the operation of hotels.  As a result, the Company and the tenant in common (“TIC”) noncontrolling owner, leaseleased its consolidated hotel property to a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company’s TRS iswas subject to income tax and iswas not limited as to the amount of nonqualifying income it cancould generate, but it isthe Company’s TRS was limited in terms of its value as a percentage of the total value of the Company’s assets. The Company’s TRS entersentered into an agreement with a third party to manage the operations of the hotel.  The Company prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Properties

As of January 1, 2017, theThe Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805), which clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. As a result, all of the Company’s acquisitions that occurred in 2017 and 2018to date qualified as asset acquisitions and most of the Company’sCompany expects future acquisitions of operating properties willto qualify as asset acquisitions.  Accordingly, third-party transaction costs associated with these acquisitions have been and will be capitalized, while internal acquisition costs will continue to be expensed.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 mandates that “an acquiring entity shall allocate the cost of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at date of acquisition.” ASC 805 results in an allocation of acquisition costs to both the tangible and intangible assets associated with income producing real estate. Tangible assets include land, buildings, site improvements, tenant improvements and furniture, fixtures and fixtures,equipment, while intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, lease origination costs (leasing commissions and tenant improvements), legal and marketing costs and leasehold assets and liabilities (above or below market)market leases), among others.

The Company uses independent, third partythird-party consultants to assist management with its ASC 805 evaluations. The Company determines fair value based on accepted valuation methodologies including the cost, market, and income capitalization approaches. The purchase price is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets identified in the evaluation.

8

The Company records depreciation on buildings and improvements utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally 54 to 4042 years. The Company reviews depreciable lives of investment properties periodically and makes adjustments to reflect a shorter economic life, when necessary. Tenant allowances, tenant inducementsCapitalized leasing commissions and tenant improvements incurred and paid by the Company subsequent to the acquisition of the investment property are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease. Amounts allocated to buildings are depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the acquired building or related improvements.

Acquisition and closing costs are capitalized as part of each tangible asset on a pro rata basis. Improvements and major repairs and maintenance are capitalized when the repair and maintenance substantially extend the useful life, increases capacity or improves the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company reviews investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable, but at least annually. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in the property’s cash flows, occupancy and fair market value. The Company measures any impairment of investment property when the estimated undiscounted cash flows plus its residual value, is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the Company charges to income the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. The Company estimates fair value using unobservable data such as projected future operating income, estimated capitalization rates, or multiples, leasing prospects and local market information. The Company may decide to sell properties that are held for use and the sale prices of these properties may differ from their carrying values. The

Other than the tenant-specific losses on impairment and the impairment of assets held for sale described below, the Company did not record any impairment adjustments to its investment properties resulting from events or changes in circumstances during the three months ended March 31, 20192023 and 2022, that would result in the projected value being below the carrying value of the Company’s properties.  

Assets Held for Sale

The Company may decide to sell properties that are held as investment properties. The accounting treatment for the disposal of long-lived assets is covered by ASC 360.  Under this guidance, the Company records the assets associated with these properties, and any associated mortgages payable, as held for sale when management has committed to a plan to sell the assets, actively seeks a buyer for the assets, and the consummation of the sale is considered probable and is expected within one year.  Delays in the time required to complete a sale do not preclude a long-lived asset from continuing to be classified as held for sale beyond the initial one-year period if the delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond an entity’s control and there is sufficient evidence that the entity remains committed to a qualifying plan to sell the long-lived asset.  

Properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell. When the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, an impairment charge is recognized. The Company determines fair value based on the three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurement.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

During February 2021, the Company committed to a plan for the sale of an asset group associated with the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property that included the land, site improvements, building, building improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment.  As of March 31, 2018.2021, the Company recorded this asset group, and the associated mortgage payable, as held for sale.  As of March 31, 2021, the date the Company originally recorded this asset group as held for sale, the Company determined that the fair value of the Clemson Best Western Property exceeded the carrying value of its asset group, and the Company did not record impairment of assets held for sale associated with this asset group.

During subsequent periods since the asset group associated with the Clemson Best Western Property was initially classified as held for sale, the Company continued to follow its disposal plan.  Under ASC 360, during subsequent reporting periods after the asset group is classified as held for sale, it is necessary to evaluate the amounts previously used for the estimated fair value of the asset group.  Up to and including the reporting periods ending December 31, 2021, the Company reviewed and reassessed the estimated fair value of the asset group and believed that the fair value, less estimated costs to sell, exceeds the Company’s carrying cost in the property.  

9

Accordingly, the Company did not record impairment of assets held for sale related to the Clemson Best Western Property for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that the carrying value of the asset group associated with the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property exceeded its fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and recorded impairment of assets held for sale of $175,671 on its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.  No such impairment of assets held for sale was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

On September 29, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property to an unaffiliated purchaser.  See Note 3 for additional details.

Intangible Assets and Liabilities, net

The Company determines, through the ASC 805 evaluation, the above and below market lease intangibles upon acquiring a property. Intangible assets (or liabilities) such as above or below-market leases and in-place lease value are recorded at fair value and are amortized as an adjustment to rental revenue or amortization expense, as appropriate, over the remaining terms of the underlying leases. The Company amortizes amounts allocated to tenant improvements, in-place lease assets and other lease-related intangibles over the remaining life of the underlying leases. The analysis is conducted on a lease-by-lease basis.

8

The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its intangible assets may not be recoverable, but at least annually. During the three months ended March 31, 20192023, a tenant defaulted on its lease and 2018, respectively,abandoned its premises. The Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible assets and liabilities, net, associated with this lease of $35,551 that were recorded as part of the purchase of this property should be written off. This amount is included in the loss on impairment reported on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023.  During the three months ended March 31, 2022, two tenants defaulted on their leases and abandoned their premises. The Company did not record anydetermined that the carrying value of the intangible assets and liabilities, net, associated with these leases of $36,670 that were recorded as part of the purchase of these properties should be written off. This amount is included in the loss on impairment adjustments to its intangible assets.

Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation

A conditional asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement depends on a future event that may or may not be withwithin the Company’s control. Currently, the Company does not have any conditional asset retirement obligations. However, any such obligations identified in the future would result in the Company recording a liability if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental studies conducted at the time the Company acquired its properties did not reveal any material environmental liabilities, and the Company is unaware of any subsequent environmental matters that would have created a material liability.

The Company believes that its properties are currently in material compliance with applicable environmental, as well as non-environmental, statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company did not record any conditional asset retirement obligation liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 20192023 and 2018,2022, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash equivalents consist primarily of bank operating accounts and money markets. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include its cash and cash equivalents and its trade accounts receivable.

Restricted cash represents (i) amounts held by the Company for tenant security deposits, (ii) escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate tax, insurance, and operating reserves and (iii) capital reserves held by lenders for investment property capital improvements.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and any restricted cash held by the Company on deposit with financial institutions in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to $250,000. The Company's credit loss in the event of failure of these financial institutions is represented by the difference between the FDIC limit and the total amounts on deposit. Management monitors the financial institutions credit worthiness in conjunction with balances on deposit to minimize risk.

Revenue Recognition

Retail and Flex Center Property Revenues

The Company recognizes minimum rents from its retail center properties (the Franklin Square and Hanover Square properties)flex center properties on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases which results in an unbilled rent asset or deferred rent liability being recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company reported $1,069,860 and $1,022,153, respectively, in unbilled rent. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on impairment of $1,192 related to previously recognized straight-line rent related to a defaulting tenant’s lease.  No such loss on impairment related to straight-line rent was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.  

The Company’s leases generally require the tenant to reimburse the Company for a substantial portion of its expenses incurred in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and managing the shopping center and common areas (collectively defined as Common Area Maintenance or “CAM” expenses). The Company includes these reimbursements, along with other revenue derived from late fees and seasonal events, underon the condensed consolidated statements of operations captionunder the captions "Retail center property tenant reimbursements."revenues” and “Flex center property revenues.” (See Recent Accounting Pronouncements, below.) This significantly reduces the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation or other outside factors. The Company accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The Company calculates the tenant’s share of operating costs by multiplying the total amount of the operating costs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of square feet being leased by the tenant, and the denominator of which is the average total square footage of all leasable buildings at the property. The Company also receives escrow payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its tenants on a monthly basis throughout the year.

The Company recognizes differences between previously estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts in the year in which the amounts become final. Since these differences are determined annually under the leases and accrued as of December 31 in the impact onyear earned, no such revenues were recognized forduring the three months ended March 31, 2019 is not known.

2023 and 2022.

The Company recognizes lease termination fees in the period that the lease is terminated and collection of the fees is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, the Company provides for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets. During the three months ended March 31, 20192023 and 2018,2022, respectively, no such termination costs were recognized.

Hotel Property Revenues

Hotel revenues (fromfrom the Hampton Inn Property) areClemson Best Western Property were recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services.  Revenues from the Company’s occupancy agreement with Clemson University were recognized as earned, which is as rooms are occupied or otherwise reserved for use by the University.  The Clemson University occupancy agreement ended on May 15, 2022 and the Company sold the Clemson Best Western Property on September 29, 2022.  

The Clemson Best Western Property was required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit them back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis.  The Clemson Best Western Property had a legal obligation to act as a collection agent.  The Clemson Best Western Property did not retain these taxes and fees; therefore, they were not included in revenues.  The Clemson Best Western Property recorded a liability when the amounts were collected and relieved the liability when payments were made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency.

TenantHotel Property Operating Expenses

All personnel of the Clemson Best Western Property were directly or indirectly employees of Marshall Hotels and Resorts, Inc. (“Marshall”), the Company’s hotel management firm. In addition to fees and services discussed above, the Clemson Best Western Property reimbursed Marshall for all employee related service costs, including payroll salaries and wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefits paid by Marshall on its behalf.  The total amounts incurred for payroll salaries and wages, payroll taxes and other employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were $0 and $131,939, respectively.

The Company determines an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable based upon customer credit-worthinesscredit worthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels, and current economic trends. The Company considers a receivable past due once it becomes delinquent per the terms of the lease. A past due receivable triggers certain events such as notices, fees and other allowable and required actions per the lease. TheAs of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for uncollectible accountsrent totaled $62,960 and $47,109, respectively, which are comprised of amounts specifically identified based on management’s review of individual tenants’ outstanding receivables.  Management determined that no additional general reserve is considered necessary as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes

Beginning with the Company’s taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the REIT has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT qualification. In order to maintain this REIT status, the regulations require the Company to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates for the years in which it fails to qualify. If the Company loses its REIT status it could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for five years unless the Company’s failure to qualify was due to reasonable cause and certain other conditions were satisfied.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's Clemson Best Western TRS entity generated taxable income.  The Company believed that the net operating loss carry forward from prior years would offset the taxable income for the three months ended March 31, 2022, so no income tax expense was recorded.  During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company no longer owned the Clemson Best Western Hotel Property.

Management has evaluated the effect of the guidance provided by GAAP on Accounting for Uncertainty of Income Taxes and has determined that the Company had no uncertain income tax positions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company’s Hampton Inn TRS entity generated a tax loss, so no income tax expense was recorded.

Use of Estimates

The Company has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. The Company’s actual results could differ from these estimates.

Noncontrolling Interests

The ownership interests not held by the REIT are considered noncontrolling interests. There are three elements of noncontrolling interests in the capital structure of the Company. The ownership interests not held by the REIT are considered noncontrolling interests. Accordingly,These noncontrolling interests have been reported in equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets but separate from the Company’s equity. On the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amount, including both the amount attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. ConsolidatedThe Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity includeincludes beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity.

The first noncontrolling interest is in the Hampton Inn Property in which the Company owns a 64 percent tenancy in common interest through its subsidiaries and an outside party owns a 36 percent tenancy in common interest. In 2017, the noncontrolling owner of the Hampton Inn Property provided $2.3 million as part of the acquisition of the Hampton Inn Property. The Hampton Inn Property’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest based on its 36 percent ownership. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 36 percent of the Hampton Inn’s net loss of $369,109, or $132,879 was allocated to the noncontrolling partnership interest. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, 36 percent of the Hampton Inn’s net loss of $113,241, or $40,767, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest.

The second noncontrolling interest is in the Hanover Square Property in which the Company owns an 84 percent84% tenancy in common interest through its subsidiary and an outside party owns a 16 percent16% tenancy in common interest. The Hanover Square Property’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest based on its 16 percent16% ownership. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, 16 percent2023, 16% of the Hanover Square Property’s net loss of $29,409,$7,755, or $4,705, $1,241, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest. The Company did not own the Hanover Square Property duringDuring the three months ended March 31, 2018.2022, 16% of the Hanover Square Property’s net loss of $1,992, or $319, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest.

The second noncontrolling interest is in the Parkway Property in which the Company owns an 82% tenancy in common interest through its subsidiary and an outside party owns an 18% tenancy in common interest. The Parkway Property's net (loss) income is

14

allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest based on its 18% ownership. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 18% of the Parkway Property's net loss of $46,482, or $8,367, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest.  During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 18% of the Parkway Property’s net income of $56,624, or $10,193, was allocated to the noncontrolling ownership interest.

The third noncontrolling ownership interest are the units in the Operating Partnership that are not held by the REIT. In 2017, 125,000 Operating Partnership units were issued to members of the selling LLClimited liability company which owned the Hampton Inn Property who elected to participate in a 721 exchange, which allows the exchange of interests in real property for shares in a real estate investment trust. These members of the selling LLClimited liability company invested $1,175,000 in the Operating Partnership in exchange for 125,000 Operating Partnership units. Additionally, as discussed above, effective on January 1, 2020, 93,850 Operating Partnership units were issued in exchange for approximately 3.45% of the noncontrolling owner’s tenant in common interest in the Hampton Inn Property. On August 31, 2020, a unitholder converted 5,319 Operating Partnership units into shares of Common Stock. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 213,531 Operating Partnership units outstanding.

The Operating Partnership units not held by the REIT represent 5.11 percent1.19% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units as of March 31, 20192023 and December 31, 2018.2022.  The noncontrolling interest percentage is calculated at any point in time by dividing the number of units not owned by the Company by the total number of units outstanding. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage will change as additional common or preferred shares are issued by the REIT, or additional Operating Partnerships units are issued or as units are exchanged for the Company’s $0.01 par value per share Common Stock. During periods when the Operating Partnership’s noncontrolling interest changes, the noncontrolling ownership interest is calculated based on the weighted average Operating Partnership noncontrolling ownership interest during that period. The Operating Partnership’s net loss is allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders based on their ownership interest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2023, a weighted average of 5.11 percent1.19% of the Operating Partnership’s net loss of $318,258, $243,989, or $16,263, $2,903,was allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2022, a weighted average of 7.25 percent1.28% of the Operating Partnership’s net loss of $271,478, $75,882, or $19,683, $973, was allocated to the noncontrolling unit holders.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

Accounting for Leases

In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)(“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605,Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance on revenue recognition throughout the ASC. The new standard is principles based and provides a five step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also requires disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information surrounding the amount, nature, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which relates to assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration and completed contracts and contract modifications in transition. In December 2016, the FASB issued 2016-20,Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies or corrects unintended application of the standard. Companies are permitted to adopt the ASUs as early as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, but the adoption is required for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13,Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)," "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),Leases (Topic 840)," and2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). These amendments provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company adopted Topic 606 effective on January 1, 2019.

A majority of the Company’s tenant-related revenue from its Franklin Square Property and Hanover Square Property is recognized pursuant to lease agreements and will be governed by the leasing guidance discussed below.  The Company has evaluated its hotel revenues and concluded that the adoption of this standard did not impact the amount or timing of revenue recognition in its consolidated financial statements. The Company completed its assessment of ASU No. 2014-09 and has concluded that the guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s method of revenue recognition or on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The amendments in this update govern a number of areas including, but not limited to, accounting for leases, replacing the existing guidance in ASC No. 840, Leases.  Under this standard, among other changes in practice, a lessee’s rights and obligations under most leases, including existing and new arrangements, wouldmust be recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet.sheets.  Other significant provisions of this standard include (i) defining the “lease term” to include the non-cancelable period together with periods for which there is a significant economic incentive for the lessee to extend or not terminate the lease; (ii) defining the initial lease liability to be recorded on the balance sheetsheets to contemplate only those variable lease payments that depend on an index or that are in substance “fixed,” (iii) a dual approach for determining whether lease expense is recognized on a straight-line or accelerated basis, depending on whether the lessee is expected to consume more than an insignificant portion of the leased asset’s economic benefits and (iv) a requirement to bifurcate certain lease and non-lease components.  The lease standard iswas effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years) and for private companies, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The FASB subsequently deferred the effective date of ASU 2016-02 for private companies by one year, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, to provide those companies with additional time to address various implementation challenges and complexities. In June 2020, the FASB further deferred the effective date due to the effects on private companies from business and capital market disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.  Following those deferrals, ASU 2016-02 became effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and for

15

interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company plans to adoptadopted the standard effective on January 1, 2020. Management does2022 using the modified retrospective approach within ASU 2018-11, which allows for the application date to be the beginning of the reporting period in which the entity first applies the new standard. The Company historically has not believebeen and is not currently a “lessee” under any lease agreements, and thus did not have any arrangements requiring the recognition of lease assets or liabilities on its balance sheet.

As a “lessor”, the Company has active lease agreements with over 100 tenants across its portfolio of investment properties. On a prospective and retrospective basis, the accounting for those leases under ASU 2016-02 (ASC No. 842) is substantially unchanged from the previous guidance in ASC No. 840. However, upon the adoption of ASC No. 842, the Company has elected the practical expedient permitting lessors to elect by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (for example, maintenance services, including common area maintenance) from associated lease components (the “non-separation practical expedient”) if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease component(s) are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. If both criteria are met, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 842 if the lease component is the predominant component of the combined component; otherwise, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. Prior to the adoption of ASC No. 842, the Company separated lease-related revenue from its retail center and flex center properties into two components. Fixed rental payments under its leases (recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying lease) were recorded as retail center property revenues and flex center property revenues. Variable payments under the leases made by tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”) expenses were recorded as retail center and flex center tenant reimbursements. With the adoption of ASC No. 842, the Company determined that its retail center and flex center operating leases qualify for the non-separation practical expedient based on the guidance. As a result, the Company has accounted for and presented the revenues from these leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single line item on its condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Debt With Conversion Options

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt With Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The objective of ASU 2020-06 is to reduce the current complexity involved in accounting for convertible financial instruments by reducing the number of accounting models applicable to those instruments in the existing guidance. Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06, companies are expected to encounter fewer instances in which a convertible financial instrument must be separated into a debt or equity component and a derivative component for accounting purposes due to the embedded conversion feature. As a result of these revisions, debt instruments issued with a beneficial conversion feature will no longer require separation and thus will be accounted for as a single debt instrument under the updated guidance. In addition to those changes, ASU 2020-06 adds several incremental financial statement disclosures with respect to a company’s convertible financial instruments and makes certain refinements with respect to calculating the effect of those instruments on a company’s diluted earnings per share. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 (including interim periods within those fiscal years), and for private companies, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The updated guidance in ASU 2020-06 was adopted effective January 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better calculate credit loss estimates. The guidance will applyapplies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, such as accounts receivable and loans. The guidance will requireloans; however, it does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842. ASU 2016-13 requires that the Company estimate the lifetime expected credit loss with respect to theseapplicable receivables and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the net amounts expected to be collected. The Company willis also be required to disclose information about how it developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced the Company’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes.  For public companies,The Company’s credit losses primarily arise from tenant defaults on amounts due under operating leases.  As noted, these losses are not subject to the guidance will be effective for interimin ASU 2016-13, and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and for private companies, periods after December 15, 2020.historically have not been significant.  The Company is currently inadopted the processupdate on the required effective date of evaluatingJanuary 1, 2023, which did not have a material impact on the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on itsCompany’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash FlowsUpcoming Accounting Pronouncements

Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In November 2016,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,Statement of Cash Flows2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 230)848): Restricted Cash (a consensusFacilitation of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)Effects ofReference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), which is widely used as a reference interest rate in debt agreements and other contracts, was effectively discontinued for new contracts as of December 31, 2021, and its publication for existing contracts is scheduled to be discontinued by June 30, 2023. Financial market regulators in certain jurisdictions throughout the world undertook reference rate reform initiatives to guide the transition and modification of debt agreements and other contracts that are based on LIBOR to the successor reference rate that will replace it. ASU provides2020-04 was issued to provide companies that are impacted by these changes with the opportunity to elect certain expedients and exceptions that are intended to ease the potential burden of accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.  Under ASU 2020-04, companies may generally elect to make use of the expedients and exceptions provided therein for any reference rate contract modifications that occur in reporting periods that encompass the timeline from March 12, 2020 to December 31, 2022. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848):  Deferral of the Sunset of Topic 848, to extend that timeline from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024.  The Company’s Parkway Property is financed by a mortgage loan with a corresponding interest rate protection agreement which both use USD LIBOR as the reference interest rate (see Note 5, below).  The mortgage loan matures on November 1, 2031, and the interest rate protection agreement expires on December 1, 2026.  The Company is continuing to review the guidance in ASU 2020-04 and anticipates that it will use the expedients and exceptions provided therein with respect to the replacement of USD LIBOR as the reference rate in the Parkway Property mortgage loan and corresponding interest rate protection agreement.  However, the Company does not expect that any changes under ASU 2020-04 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Evaluation of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of restricted cashfinancial statements, the Company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or restricted cash equivalentsnot the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the statementnormal course of business.

In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows, in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The standard requires a reconciliation of total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, suchthe Company’s obligations due over the next twelve months as escrows andwell as the Company’s recurring business operating property reserves and property capital reserves, in the cash flow statement or in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is to be applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

The fair value of the grants was determined by the market price of the Company’s Common Shares on the effective date of the grant.

On each January 1 during the term of the Equity Incentive Plan, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan will increase by eight percent (8%) of any additional shares of common stock or interests in the Operating Partnership issued (i) after the completion date the Company’s initial registered public offering of common stock, in the case of the January 1, 2019 adjustment, or (ii) in the preceding calendar year, in the case of any adjustment subsequent to January 1, 2020. As of March 31, 2019, there are 154,000January 1, 2023, the shares available for issuance under the Plan.Equity Incentive Plan was adjusted to 491,304 shares.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share for the Company’s Common Shares is calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the net lossincome (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, by the Company’s weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders, excluding the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, by the weighted average number of Common Shares, including any dilutive shares. As of March 31, 20192023 and December 31, 2018, all2022, 213,531 of the Operating Partnership’s 125,000213,531 common units outstandingheld by noncontrolling, limited partners were eligible to be converted, on a one-to-one basis, into Common Shares. The Operating Partnership’s common units and the equivalent common shares attributable to the convertible debentures have been excluded from the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

7.Commitments and Contingencies

Hampton Inn Property – Property Improvement PlanNasdaq Compliance

TheOn July 11, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that, for the last thirty (30) consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 (a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was given one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, or until January 9, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On January 10, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Second Notification”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that, while the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff determined that the Company is obligatedeligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until July 10, 2023 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. The Staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company’s written notice to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by July 10, 2023, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.  

Neither the Deficiency Letter or the Second Notification had any effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock continues to trade on Nasdaq under the mortgage loansymbol “MDRR”.

Reverse Stock Split

See Note 11, Subsequent Events, for the Hampton Inn Property to complete a property improvement plan which includes exterior and interior renovations and replacement of furniture and fixtures. This obligation is irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by individual membersdiscussion of the Managerreverse stock split that was completed on May 3, 2023.

8.      Commitments and by an individual member of the noncontrolling owner. The Company has entered into a series of contracts for this work with a total estimated cost of $2,648,548 and work commenced in July, 2018. These costs will be partially funded by $2,206,099 of funds held in escrow by the mortgage holder (see “Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash”, above), with the remainder being funded by the Company and the noncontrolling owner.Contingencies

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred and paid $735,350 in costs associated with the property improvement plan. Escrows held by the mortgage holder funded $567,183 of these costs and the remainder was funded by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred and paid $1,009,452 in costs associated with the property improvement plan. Escrows held by the mortgage holder funded $604,290 of these costs and the remainder was funded by the Company. As of March 31, 2019, the Company estimates that the remaining costs to be incurred associated with this work is $903,746, all of which will be funded by the escrow balance of $1,034,626 as of March 31, 2019.

Insurance

The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage, business interruption and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in its portfolio, in addition to other coverages that may be appropriate for certain of its properties. Additionally, the Company carries a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers such claims made against the Company and its directors and officers. The Company believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate for its properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice; however, its insurance coverage may not be sufficient to fully cover its losses.

20

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These risks include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, trends in the retail industry, creditworthiness of tenants, competition for tenants and customers, changes in tax laws, interest rates, the availability of financing and potential liability under environmental and other laws. The Company’s portfolio of properties is dependent upon regional and local economic conditions and is geographically concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic, specifically in South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, which represented 100 percent100% of the total annualized base revenues of the properties in its portfolio as of March 31, 2019.2023. The Company’s geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to adverse developments in those markets than if it owned a more geographically diverse portfolio. Additionally, the Company’s retail shopping center property dependsproperties depend on anchor stores or major tenants to attract shoppers and could be adversely affected by the loss of, or a store closure by, one or more of these tenants.

Interest Rate Risk

The value of the Company’s real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates, which may affect the Company’s ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions, and other factors beyond our control. An increase in interest rates would likely cause the value of the Company’s assets to decrease. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit profile of certain tenants.

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through its borrowing activities. To limit this exposure, the Company attempts to obtain mortgage financing on a long-term, fixed-rate basis. However, from time to time, the Company may obtain variable-rate mortgage loans and, as a result, may enter into interest rate cap agreements that limit the effective borrowing rate of variable-rate debt obligations while allowing participants to share in downward shifts in interest rates. These interest rate caps are derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges on the forecasted interest payments on the debt obligation. Our objective in using interest rate caps is to limit our exposure to interest rate movements.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s long-term debt either bore interest at fixed rates or was capped to a fixed rate. The Company’s debt obligations are more fully described in Note 5, Loans Payable, above.

Other Risks and Uncertainties

Since March 2020, the Company’s investment properties have been significantly impacted by (i) measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and (ii) significant changes in consumer behavior and business and leisure travel patterns.  While most, if not all, of the initial measures have been relaxed by the respective governmental authorities, with the uncertainty resulting from the continued mutation of COVID-19 into new variants, and the possibility that changes in consumer behavior and business and

29

leisure travel patterns will continue, the negative impact on consumer behavior, including demand for the goods and services of our retail tenants within our portfolio could continue to be significant in future periods.

Regulatory and Environmental

As the owner of the buildings on its properties, the Company could face liability for the presence of hazardous materials (e.g., asbestos or lead) or other adverse conditions (e.g., poor indoor air quality) in its buildings. Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance, and removal of hazardous materials in buildings, and if the Company does not comply with such laws, it could face fines for such noncompliance. Also, the Company could be liable to third parties (e.g., occupants of the buildings) for damages related to exposure to hazardous materials or adverse conditions in its buildings, and the Company could incur material expenses with respect to abatement or remediation of hazardous materials or other adverse conditions in its buildings. In addition, some of the Company’s tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at the Company’s properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject the Company or its tenants to liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to the Company, and changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations. The Company is not aware of any material contingent liabilities, regulatory matters or environmental matters that may exist.

Seasonality

The hotel industry historically has been seasonal in nature. Seasonal variations in occupancy at the Company’s hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in its revenues. Occupancy rates and hotel revenues for the Company’s Hampton Inn Property are highest in October, due to a local event that generates significant demand, and generally greater in the second and third quarters than in the first quarter and in November and December. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter, due to temporary or seasonal fluctuations in revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or available financing sources to meet cash requirements.

Litigation

The Company is not currently involved in any litigation or legal proceedings.

9.Segment Information

10.      Segment Information

The Company establishes operating segments at the property level and aggregates individual properties into reportable segments based on product types in which the Company has investments. As ofFor the three months ended March 31, 2019, The2023, the Company had the following reportable segments:  retail center properties and flex center properties.  For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had the following reportable segments: retail center properties, flex center properties and hotel properties. During the periods presented, there have been no material intersegment transactions.

32

Although the Company’s flex center property has tenants that are similar to tenants in its retail center properties, the Company considers its flex center properties as a separate reportable segment. Flex properties are considered by the real estate industry as a distinct subset of the industrial market segment. Flex properties contain a mix of industrial/warehouse and office spaces. Warehouse space that is not air conditioned can be used flexibly by building office or showroom space that is air conditioned, depending on tenants’ needs.

Net operating income ("NOI"(“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not considered a measure of operating results or cash flows from operations under GAAP. NOI is the primary performance measure reviewed by management to assess operating performance of properties and is calculated by deducting operating expenses from operating revenues. Operating revenues include rental income, tenant reimbursements, hotel income, and other property income; and operating expenses include retail center property and hotel operating costs. The NOI performance metric consists of only revenues and expenses directly related to real estate rental operations. NOI reflects property acquisitions and dispositions, occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses. NOI, as the Company calculates it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs.

22

Asset information and capital expenditures by segment are not reported because the Company does not use these measures to assess performance. Depreciation and amortization expense, along with other expense and income items, are not allocated among segments.

COVID-19 Impact

Since March 2020, our company’s investment properties have been significantly impacted by (i) measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to five related parties totaling $677,538. These short term notes were issuedmitigate the impact of COVID-19, such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, restrictions on November 3, 2017 to finance the purchasetravel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and (ii) significant changes in consumer behavior and business and leisure travel patterns. While most of the Hampton Inn Property.measures have been relaxed by the respective governmental authorities, with the uncertainty resulting from the continued mutation of COVID-19 into new variants and the possibility of the re-imposition of mandatory business closures, quarantines, restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders by some governmental authorities, and the possibility that changes in consumer behavior will continue and consumer demand for the goods and services of our retail tenants within our portfolio could continue to be significant in future periods.  These factors, as well as additional factors that our company may not currently be aware of, could materially negatively impact our company’s ability to collect rent and could lead to termination of leases by tenants, tenant bankruptcies, decreases in demand for retail space at our company’s properties, difficulties in accessing capital, impairment of our company’s long-lived assets and other impacts that could materially and adversely affect our company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and ability to pay distributions to stockholders.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results that may require complex or significant judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.

Revenue Recognition

Principal components of our total revenues for our retail center properties and flex center properties include base rents and tenant reimbursements. We accrue minimum (base) rent on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases which results in an unbilled rent asset or deferred rent liability being recorded on the balance sheet. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that grant additional rents based on tenants’ sales volumes (contingent or percentage rent) which we recognize when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. We periodically review the valuation of the asset/liability resulting from the straight-line accounting treatment of our leases in light of any changes in lease terms, financial condition or other factors concerning our tenants.

For the periods during which our company owned its hotel properties, revenues were recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services. Revenues from our company’s occupancy agreement with Clemson University were recognized as earned, which is as rooms were occupied by the University.

Rents and Other Tenant Receivables

For our retail center and flex center properties, we record a tenant receivable for amounts due from tenants such as base rents, tenant reimbursements and other charges allowed under the lease terms. We periodically review tenant receivables for collectability and determine the need for an allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and other accounts receivable based upon customer creditworthiness (including expected recovery of a claim with respect to any tenants in bankruptcy), historical bad debt levels and current economic trends. We consider a receivable past due once it becomes delinquent per the terms of the lease. A past due receivable triggers certain events such as notices, fees and other actions per the lease.

Accounting for Leases

For our hotel property, revenues are recognized as earned, which is generally defined as the date upon which a guest occupies a room or utilizes the hotel’s services.

The CompanyOur company adopted ASU No. 2014-09,Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersLeases (Topic 606)842) effective on January 1, 2019 (see Recent Accounting Pronouncements2022 using the modified retrospective approach within ASU 2018-11, which allows for the application date to be the beginning of the reporting period in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Polices,” of our Consolidated Financial Statements). This adoptionwhich the entity first applies the new standard. Our company historically has not been and is not currently a “lessee” under any lease agreements, and thus did not have a material impact onany arrangements requiring the Company’s recognition of lease assets or liabilities on its balance sheet.  As a “lessor”, our company has active lease agreements with over 100 tenants across our portfolio of investment properties.

Upon the adoption of ASC No. 842, our company has elected the practical expedient permitting lessors to elect by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (for example, maintenance services, including common area maintenance) from associated lease components (the “non-separation practical expedient”) if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease component(s) are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. If both criteria are met, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with ASC No. 842 if the lease component is the predominant component of the combined component; otherwise, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. Our company assessed the criteria above with respect to our operating leases and determined that they qualify for the non-separation practical expedient. As a result, we have accounted for and presented the revenues from either its retail properties or its hotel property.these leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single line item on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate

The adoption of ASU 2017-01, as discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, has impacted our accounting framework for the acquisition of investment properties. Upon acquisition of investment properties, our company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment) and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including in-place leases, above- and below-market leases, tenant relationships and assumed debt based on evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Fair values for these assets are not directly observable and estimates are based on comparable market data and other information which is subjective in nature, including estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.

27

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically review investment properties for impairment on a property-by-property basis to identify any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying value of investment properties may not be recoverable. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in the property’s cash flows, occupancy and fair market value. If any such events or changes in circumstances are identified, we perform a formal impairment analysis. We measure any impairment of investment property when the estimated undiscounted operating income before depreciation and amortization, is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to income the excess of carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We estimate fair value using data such as operating income, estimated capitalization rates or multiples, leasing prospects and local market information. Our company also reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its intangible assets may not be recoverable, but at least annually.

REIT Status

We are a Maryland corporation that has elected to be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as a REIT. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code for the year ended December 31, 2017 and have not revoked such election. A REIT is a corporate entity which holds real estate interests and must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on our taxable income if we annually distribute 100% of our taxable income to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to regular federal and state corporate income taxes and may not be able to elect to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Our qualification as a REIT requires management to exercise significant judgment and consideration with respect to operational matters and accounting treatment. Therefore, we believe our REIT status is a critical accounting estimate.

Evaluation of our company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Under the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, our company is required to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, whether or not the entity’s current financial condition, including its sources of liquidity at the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, will enable the entity to meet its obligations as they come due arising within one year of the date of the issuance of our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and to make a determination as to whether or not it is probable, under the application of this accounting guidance, that the entity will be able to continue as a going concern. Our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. In applying applicable accounting guidance, management considered our company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and our company’s obligations due over the next twelve months, as well as our company’s recurring business operating expenses.

We have concluded that it is probable that we will be able to meet our obligations arising within one year of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements within the parameters set forth in the accounting guidance. For additional information regarding our company’s liquidity, see Note 5 – Loans Payable and Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business model is intended to drive growth through acquisitions. Access to the capital markets is an important factor for our continued growth and success.  We expect to continue to issue equity in our company through our offering with proceeds being used to acquire additional target properties.

Our primary liquidity needs are primarily to fund (i)funding for (1) operations, including operating expenses, corporate and cash dividends; (ii) property acquisitions; (iii) depositsadministrative costs, payment of principal of, and feesinterest on, outstanding indebtedness, and escrow and reserve payments associated with long-term debt financing for our properties; (iv)(2) investing needs, including property acquisitions and recurring capital expenditures; (v)and (3) financing needs, including cash dividends and debt repayments; (vi) payment of principal of, and interest on, outstanding indebtedness; and (vii) corporate and administrative costs.

repayments.  

Internal liquidity willto fund operating needs are expected to be provided solelyprimarily by the rental receipts from our realretail and flex center properties.  The only external liquidity source we have currently identified is our ongoing efforts to raise capital by the issuance of shares of common stock.

On May 13, 2019, we issued and sold 1,666,667 Common Shares at an offering price of $4.80 per share. Net proceeds from the issuance are estimated to be $6,755,000, which includes the impact of discounts and offering costs, including the underwriter’s selling commissions and legal, accounting and other professional fees. As part of this offering, we granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 250,000 additional Common Shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

Cash Flows

At March 31, 2019,2023, our consolidated cash and restricted cash on hand totaled $1,269,765$4,985,365 compared to consolidated cash on hand of $5,290,371$8,079,034 at March 31, 2018.2022.

Cash flows from operating activities has two properties, the Franklin Square Property and the Hampton Inn Property.components. The first component consists of net operating loss adjusted for non-cash operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2019,2023, operating activities adjusted for non-cash items resulted in net cash used by operating activities of $817.  During the three months ended March 31, 2022, operating activities adjusted for non-cash items resulted in net cash provided in operating activities of $689,045.  The decrease of $689,862 in cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily a result of increased legal, accounting and other professional fees resulting from the exploration of strategic alternatives announced by our financialBoard of Directors on March 10, 2023, of $307,209, and a decrease in operating income of $392,629 resulting from the sale of the Clemson Best Western Hotel on September 29, 2022.  For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Clemson Best Western Hotel generated $392,629 in operating income.  Since our company sold the Clemson Best Western Hotel on September 29, 2022, no operating income was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2023.  

The second component consists of changes in assets and liabilities. Increases in assets and decreases in liabilities result in cash used in operations. Decreases in assets and increases in liabilities result in cash provided by operations.  During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net changes in asset and liability accounts resulted in $451,541 in cash provided by operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net changes in asset and liability accounts resulted in $3,818 in cash provided by operations. This increase of $447,723 in cash provided by operations resulting from changes in assets and liabilities is a result of increased changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $310,905, and increased changes in other assets of $195,395, offset by decreased changes in unbilled rent of $34,053, and other receivables, net, of $24,524.

Future Liquidity Needs

Liquidity for general operating needs and our company’s investment properties is generally provided solely by the rental receipts from those properties. Liquidityour retail properties and flex center property, and revenues from our hotel properties, if any. We expect to provide any liquidity for growth (acquisition of new investment properties) will be provided by raising additional equity issuances, netinvestment capital. In addition, our company continually reviews and evaluates its outstanding mortgages payable for refinancing opportunities. While some of issuance costs.our mortgages payable are not pre-payable, some mortgages payable may present opportunities for refinancing.

The primary, non-operating liquidity need of our company is $179,719 to pay the dividends and distributions to common shareholders and operating partnership unit holders, and $100,000 to pay the dividends to holders of our mandatorily redeemable preferred stock that were declared on April 12, 2023 and payable April 28, 2023 to holders of record on April 25, 2023, and $780,584 in principal payments due on its mortgages payable during the remaining nine months ending December 31, 2023.  In addition to liquidity required to fund these principal payments, we may also incur some level of capital expenditures for our existing properties that cannot be passed on to our tenants. Our company plans to pay these obligations through a combination of cash on hand, potential dispositions and operating cash.

As discussed above, the fundingcontinuing COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has adversely impacted states and cities where our company’s tenants operate their businesses and where our company’s properties are located. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as the reduced economic activity severely impacts certain of our ongoing operations,company’s tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to our primarycompany in full. Closures of stores operated by our company’s tenants could reduce our company’s cash flows.

To meet these future liquidity needs, atwe have the following resources:

·

$3,048,100 in unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2023;

·

$1,937,265 held in lender reserves for the purposes of tenant improvements, leasing commissions, real estate taxes and insurance premiums;

·

Our $1,500,000 line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, which, as of March 31, 2023, had a $0 balance;

Cash generated from operations during the nine months ending December 31, 2023, if any; and

·

Potential proceeds from issuances of common stock under our shelf registration or under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (see note 7 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements), although there is no guarantee that any such issuances will be successful in raising additional funds.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2019 were to provide funding for the ongoing costs associated with our company’s continuing efforts to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock. We anticipate that these costs will be funded by proceeds from the future issuances of common stock.2023

After adjusting for noncontrolling interests, total net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $235,764 over the three months ended March 31, 2018.This increase was a result of lower revenues from the Hampton Inn Property, increased legal, accounting and other professional fees and the impact of the ownership of the Hanover Square Property for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2022.

Funds from Operations

We use Fundsfunds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs and above and below market leases) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

49

Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results.

30

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper states, “FFO of a REIT includes the FFO of all consolidated properties, including consolidated, partially owned affiliates”. Additionally, since the adjustments to GAAP net income, such as depreciation and amortization, used in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to determine FFO are not allocated between shareholders and noncontrolling interests (i.e. 100% of depreciation and amortization are “added back” without reduction to reflect the noncontrolling owners’ interest in such items), our company believes that the appropriate starting point for the calculation is the net income (loss) before allocation to noncontrolling interests.  This allows our company to use FFO as a tool to measure the overall performance of its investment properties, as a whole, not just the portion of the investment properties controlled by Companyour company’s shareholders.

Below is our company’s FFO, which is a non-GAAP measurement, for the three months ended March 31, 2019:2023 and 2022:

Net income (loss) $(840,486)

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper provides guidance for the treatment of impairment write-downs. Specifically, “To the extent there is an impairment write-down of depreciable real estate … related to a REIT’s main business, the write-down is excluded from FFO (i.e., adjusted from net income in calculating FFO).” Additionally, NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper provides guidance on gains or losses on the sale of assets, stating “the REIT has the option to include or exclude such gains and losses in the calculation of FFO.”

NAREIT’s December 2018 White Paper encourages companies reporting FFO to “make supplemental disclosure of all material non-cash revenues and expenses affecting their results for each period.” We believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include non-cash items such as amortization of loans and above and below market leases, unbilled rent arising from applying straight line rent revenue recognition and share-based compensation expenses. Additionally, the impact of capital expenditures, including tenant improvement and leasing commissions, net of reimbursements of such expenditures by property escrow funds, is included in our calculation of AFFO. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses

50

Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as their exclusion is not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.

Total AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 20192023 and 2022 was as follows:

Funds from operations $(270,063)
