As used in this annual report on Form 1-K, an affiliate of, or person affiliated with, a specified person, is a person, who or which, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified.

STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

We make statements in this annual report on Form 1-K, or this annual report, that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “may,” and similar expressions or statements regarding future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to differ materially from any predictions of future results, performance or achievements that we express or imply in this annual report or in the information incorporated by reference in this annual report.

1

The forward-looking statements included in this annual report are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve, among other things, judgments with respect to future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

• changes in economic conditions generally and in the real estate and securities markets specifically, including, without limitation, inflationary pressures, and rising interest rates,

• the ability of our management team to source, originate, develop, and acquire suitable investment opportunities,

• our expectation that there will be opportunities to acquire additional properties leased to the United States of America (“U.S.”) government,

• our expectations regarding demand by the federal government for leased space,

• the United States General Services Administration (the “GSA”) (acting for the United States as tenant) terminating, renewing or extending one or more of the leases for one or more of our Government Properties (as defined below), whether pursuant to early termination options or at lease-end, and if such leases are not renewed or extended, whether we will be successful in re-leasing the space,

• the impact of changes in real estate needs and financial conditions of federal, state, and local governments,

• the continuing adverse impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on the United States, regional and global economies and our financial condition and results of operations,

• acts of terrorism and other disasters that are beyond our control or not otherwise insured,

• security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology networks and related systems,

• legislative or regulatory changes impacting our business or our assets, including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance related to Regulation A or the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”),

• our ability to raise equity or debt capital,

• our compliance with applicable local, state, and federal laws, including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and other laws, or

• changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this annual report on Form 1-K. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this annual report on Form 1-K and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this annual report on Form 1-K will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this annual report on Form 1-K, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this annual report on Form 1-K, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this annual report on Form 1-K will be achieved.

Item 1. Business

The Company

We are an internally managed REIT focused on acquiring, developing, financing, owning and managing build-to-suit or renovate-to-suit, single-tenant properties leased primarily to the U.S. government and administered by the GSA or directly by the federal government agencies or sub-agencies occupying such properties, which we refer to as “Government Properties.” We invest, through acquisition, development, and re-development, in Government Properties primarily ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet and in their initial lease term after original construction or renovation-to-suit. We generally intend to acquire or develop Government Properties that perform law enforcement, public service or other functions that directly support the mission of the agencies or sub-agencies occupying such properties, which we refer to as “mission critical” functions.

As of the filing of this annual report, our portfolio consists of 31 Government Properties that are leased to and occupied by U.S. government tenant agencies, which we refer to as our “Operating Properties,” as well as four Government Properties in which we are engaged in a development capacity, which we refer to as our “Development Properties.” We refer to our Operating Properties and our Development Properties collectively as our “Portfolio Properties.”

As of the filing of this annual report, our Portfolio Properties consist of 35 Government Properties, comprised of 32 Government Properties that we own and one Government Property that we own subject to a ground lease, each of which is leased to the U.S. government, and two Government Properties for which we have been awarded a lease and for which we are under contract to acquire the land and/or property. Our Portfolio Properties comprise over 660,000 leased rentable square feet located in 22 states. Based on leased rentable square feet, our Portfolio Properties have a weighted average total remaining lease term of 9.4 years, assuming none of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised, and 5.9 years, assuming all of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised.

The government-leased, real estate asset class has a number of attributes that we believe will offer our stockholders significant benefits, including a highly creditworthy and very stable tenant base, long-term lease structures and low risk of tenant turnover. Government leases are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, and the GSA has never experienced a financial default. Payment of rents under GSA leases are funded through the Federal Buildings Fund and are not subject to direct federal appropriations, which can fluctuate with federal budget and political priorities. In addition to presenting reduced risk of default, government leases typically have long initial terms of ten to 20 years with renewal leases having terms of five to ten years, which limit operational risk. Upon renewal of a government lease, base rent typically is reset based on a number of factors at the time of renewal, including inflation and the replacement cost of the building, that we generally expect will increase over the life of the lease.

3

Government-leased properties generally provide attractive investment opportunities but require specialized knowledge and expertise. Each U.S. government agency has its own customs, procedures, culture, needs and mission, which results in different requirements for its leased space. Furthermore, the government-leased sector is highly fragmented with a significant amount of non-institutional owners. Moreover, while there are a number of national real estate brokers that hold themselves out as having government-leased property expertise, there are no national or regional clearing houses for government-leased properties. Long-term relationships and specialized institutional knowledge regarding the agencies, their space needs and the hierarchy and importance of a property to its tenant agency are crucial to understanding which agencies and properties present the greatest likelihood of long-term agency occupancy, and, therefore, to identifying and acquiring attractive government-leased properties. Our Portfolio Properties are diversified among occupying agencies, including a number of the largest and most essential agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the U.S. Social Security Administration, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

We operate as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”), which means that we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership for which we serve as the general partner. Our Portfolio Properties are owned by us through single-purpose entities, which are wholly owned by our Operating Partnership. While we focus on investments in Government Properties, our management team has the expertise and flexibility to expand our investment focus as market conditions may dictate, subject to broad investment policies adopted by our board of directors (the “Board”), as may be amended by the Board from time to time.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that we benefit from the following competitive strengths:

Diversified and High Quality Portfolio Leased to Mission-Critical U.S. Government Agencies

• At December 31, 2022, we owned 33 Government Properties, comprised of 28 Government Properties that we owned, one Government Property that we owned subject to a ground lease, three Government Properties for which we had all of the rights to the profits, losses, and any distributed cash flow (the “Profits Interest Properties”), each of which is leased to the U.S. government, and one Government Property for which we have been awarded a lease and for which we are under contract to acquire the land. As of December 31, 2022, based upon leased rentable square feet, the weighted average age of our Portfolio Properties is approximately 8.4 years¹, and the weighted average remaining lease term is approximately 9.5 years, if none of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised, and 5.9 years if all of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised.

• Our Portfolio Properties are primarily occupied by agencies that perform mission-critical functions.

• Our Portfolio Properties generally consist of Government Properties ranging between 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet and in their initial lease term after original construction or renovation-to-suit.

• At December 31, 2022, our Portfolio Properties were diversified by state and agency, with Portfolio Properties located in 21 states and occupied by 12 different federal government agencies.

Credit Quality of Tenant

• Leases are full faith and credit obligations of the United States and payment of rents under GSA leases is funded through the Federal Buildings Fund. As such, payment of rents under GSA leases is not subject to the risk of annual appropriations, which can fluctuate with federal budget and political priorities.

¹  The weighted-average age of the properties in our portfolio is based on the later of (i) the date upon which the property was built or (ii) the date upon which the property was fully renovated.

4

• The GSA has never experienced a financial default.

• In addition to presenting reduced risk of default, GSA leases typically have long initial terms of ten to 20 years with lease renewals that have lease terms of five to ten years.

• Upon renewal of a government lease, base rent typically is reset based on a number of factors at the time of renewal, including inflation and the replacement cost of the building, that we expect will generally increase over the life of the lease.

9-year+ Weighted Average Lease Term with Contractual Rent Increase

• As of December 31, 2022, the weighted average lease term of our Portfolio Properties is approximately 9.5 years, if none of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised, and 5.9 years if all of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised.

• Leases related to approximately 51% of our portfolio, based on leased rentable square feet of our Portfolio Properties, have expirations in 2032 or later.

• Government leases typically include annual inflation-adjusted rent increases based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) for certain property operating costs, which we believe will mitigate expense variability and may partially offset the impacts of inflation. In addition, government leases typically include a reimbursement to the lessor for increases in actual real estate taxes over the base year real estate taxes. The base year is generally set as the fully assessed value of the property in the first full tax year following lease commencement or, in some cases, as established in the lease prior to lease commencement. As of the date of this annual report, all of our government leases contain annual inflation-adjusted rent adjustments and annual real estate tax base adjustments.

Strategic Opportunities and Investment Strategy

We seek to acquire and develop build-to-suit and renovate-to-suit properties leased to mission critical government agencies, which we anticipate will lower the weighted average building age of our portfolio and increase the weighted average total remaining lease term, thus improving the credit profile of our portfolio and the quality of our distributions. We generally intend to invest in Government Properties through the following distinct strategies, which we refer to herein as our investment strategies:

Acquisition Focus

• Primarily ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet

• Within the initial lease term after original construction or renovation-to-suit

• Perform mission critical functions

• Built or renovated based on federal specifications

• Leases with a minimum of eight+ years of total lease term remaining

Accretive Development Platform

• Primarily ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet

• No speculative development or redevelopment

• Built from the ground up or fully renovated based on federal specifications

• New lease contracts with typically 15+ years of total lease term

• Perform mission critical functions

• Higher returns possible through direct development of assets

5

We believe the subset of Government Properties on which we focus is highly fragmented and often overlooked by larger institutional investors, which can provide opportunities for us to buy at more attractive pricing, with higher returns when compared to other properties within the asset class. We also believe property selection based on agency function, building use and location will help to mitigate risk of non-renewal. While we intend to focus on this subset of Government Properties, we are not limited in the properties in which we may invest. Our management team has the expertise and flexibility to expand our investment focus as market conditions may dictate, subject to broad investment policies adopted by our Board, as may be amended by the Board from time to time.

We believe that in the long-term there will be a consistent flow of government-leased assets that will meet our target investment criteria for acquiring, developing, leasing, and managing, which we expect will enable us to continue to enhance our portfolio into the foreseeable future. We do not anticipate making acquisitions or developments outside of the United States or its territories.

We intend to renew leases at our Portfolio Properties at positive spreads upon expiration. Upon lease renewal, rental rates at Government Properties are typically reset based on a number of factors, including inflation, the replacement cost of the building at the time of renewal and enhancements to the property since the date of the prior lease. During the term of a Government Property lease, we work in close partnership with the GSA to implement improvements at our properties to enhance the government tenant agency’s ability to perform its stated mission, which we believe increases the importance of the building to the tenant agency and the probability of an increase in rent upon lease renewal.

We seek to manage our properties in a cost efficient manner so as to eliminate any excess spending and streamline our operating costs, thereby increasing our income. When we acquire a property, we review all property-level operating expenditures to determine whether and how the property can be managed more efficiently. Upon the completion of the process, we have historically been able to identify areas in which we can control operating costs associated with certain of our acquired properties, for example, by reducing electricity costs through lighting retrofits, engaging energy consultants to enter into price lock contracts and using economies of scale to lower insurance premiums without reducing coverage.

We primarily make direct acquisitions of Government Properties, but we may also invest in Government Properties through indirect investments, such as joint ventures, whereby we may own less than 100% of the beneficial interest in the property; provided, that in such event, we will acquire greater than 50% of the outstanding voting securities in the investment, or otherwise comply with SEC staff guidance regarding majority-owned subsidiaries so that the investment meets the definition of “majority-owned subsidiary” under the Investment Company Act.

Employees

As of December 31, 2022, we had ten total employees, all of which are full-time employees.

¹ The lease expiration date of our development properties is based on the estimated development project completion.

² The early termination date, if any, for each lease generally represents the commencement of the time period during which our tenant may exercise its right to terminate the lease, in whole or in part, at any time effective on or after such date by providing us with sufficient prior written notice. The prior written notice required for early termination under each lease ranges from 60 to 180 days. If our tenant exercises its early termination rights with respect to any lease, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to re-lease the premises on comparable terms, if at all. The lease expiration date is the date the applicable lease will terminate if the early termination is not exercised or if no early termination right exists.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We are an internally managed REIT in the business of acquiring, developing, financing, owning, and managing build-to-suit or renovate-to-suit, single-tenant properties leased primarily to the U.S. government and administered by the GSA or directly by the federal government agencies or sub-agencies occupying such Government Properties. We invest primarily in Government Properties with sizes that range from 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet, and in their initial lease term after original construction or renovation-to-suit. We further emphasize Government Properties that perform mission critical functions. Leases associated with the Government Properties in which we invest are full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America. We intend to grow our portfolio primarily through acquisitions and development of single-tenant, federal government-leased properties; although, we have elected, and may continue to elect, to develop, or joint venture with others in the development of, competitively bid, built-to-suit, single-tenant, federal government-leased properties.

As of December 31, 2022, our Portfolio Properties consisted of 33 Government Properties, comprised of 28 Government Properties that we owned, one Government Property that we owned subject to a ground lease, three Government Properties for which we had all of the rights to the profits, losses, and any distributed cash flow, each of which is leased to the U.S. government, and one Government Property for which we have been awarded a lease and for which we are under contract to acquire the land. Our Portfolio Properties contained over 628,000 leased rentable square feet located in 21 states. As of December 31, 2022, our Portfolio Properties were 97% leased to the U.S. government and occupied by 12 different federal government agencies. Based on leased rentable square feet, our Portfolio Properties have a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.5 years if none of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised and 5.9 years if all of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised.

Our Operating Partnership, through wholly-owned special purpose entities, or SPEs, holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. As of December 31, 2022, we owned approximately 52.0% of the aggregate common limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, or common units. We also own all of the preferred limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership. We were formed in 2016 as a Maryland corporation and we have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Operating Results

Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2022 to the Year Ended December 31, 2021

At December 31, 2022, we owned 30 Operating Properties and three Development Properties. Our Portfolio Properties comprised over 628,000 leased rentable square feet located in 21 states and were 97% leased to the U.S. government and occupied by 12 different federal government agencies.

At December 31, 2021, we owned 26 Operating Properties and one Development Property. Our Portfolio Properties comprised over 508,000 leased rentable square feet located in 18 states and were 98% leased to the U.S. government and occupied by 12 different federal government agencies.

The following table sets forth our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

	For the years ended December 31,
	2022			2021
Revenues	$	16,769,599		$	14,880,680
Operating expenses
Property operating expenses		5,471,640			4,520,583
Corporate general and administrative		4,503,911			2,940,562
Depreciation and amortization		6,203,199			5,857,818
Total operating expenses		16,178,750			13,318,963
Other expense
Interest expense		9,432,472			8,754,265
Other expense		14,969			—
Total other expense		9,447,441			8,754,265
Net loss	$	(8,856,592	)	$	(7,192,548	)

Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $16,769,599 and $14,880,680, respectively. Property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $5,471,640 and $4,520,583, respectively. Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $6,203,119 and $5,857,818, respectively. The increases in revenues, property operating expenses and depreciation and amortization were primarily attributable to four Operating Properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022 as well as a full period of operations for two Operating Properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2021 and one Development Property that was converted to an Operating Property in June 2021. In addition, the increase in property operating expenses was partly due to increases in utilities, repairs and maintenance and real estate taxes.

Corporate general and administrative for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $4,503,911 and $2,940,562, respectively. The increase in corporate general and administrative was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll and employee related costs and equity-based compensation as a result of an increase in our employee headcount from six employees as of December 31, 2021 to ten employees as of December 31, 2022.

Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $9,432,472 and $8,754,265, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense on our senior revolving credit facility with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as sole bookrunner and lead arranger, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent and administrative agent (as amended, the “Credit Facility”), as a result of an increase in borrowings and an increase in interest rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, including funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, are useful measures of our operating performance. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control and (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of the depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our calculation of FFO is consistent with Nareit’s definition. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating

9

performance, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate by adjusting FFO for certain non-cash revenue and expenses, such as straight-line rental revenue, amortization of above-/below- market leases, amortization of deferred revenue, non-cash interest expense (including the amortization of deferred financing costs and debt issuance costs), non-cash compensation and recurring capital expenditures. By excluding these income and expense items from FFO, we believe we provide useful information as these items have no cash impact. We present AFFO as we believe it enhances the comparability of our FFO across periods and to the FFO reported by publicly traded REITs.

FFO and AFFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and AFFO or use other definitions of FFO and AFFO and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other REITs. FFO and AFFO have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow in accordance with GAAP. FFO and AFFO 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.

The following tables reflect a reconciliation of net loss in FFO and AFFO for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business model is intended to drive growth through development and acquisitions. Our Credit Facility and Series C Offering (as defined below) provided us with liquidity through both debt and equity investments. These debt and equity resources provided us with additional capital to continue pursuing our investment strategy. Access to the capital markets is an important factor for our continued success. In November 2019, our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), offering pursuant to Regulation A (the “Regulation A Offering”) expired and we did not file a post-qualification amendment to extend the Regulation A Offering. Pursuant to the Regulation A Offering, we issued approximately 891,041 shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,871,660. In August 2020, we raised $90,000,000 in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of 3,600,000 shares of our 7.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and such sale and issuance, the “Series C Offering”), and we may raise additional capital in the future to acquire and develop Government Properties. However, we cannot make assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $5,250,000 available in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash.

10

Liquidity Generally

We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months for all liquidity needs, including the funding of (i) operating expenses and cash dividends and distributions; (ii) property acquisitions under contract; (iii) recurring maintenance and capital expenditures; (iv) payment of principal of, and interest on, outstanding indebtedness; and (v) other investments, consistent with the investment guidelines and investment policies adopted by our Board.

Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required. As of the date of this annual report on Form 1-K, there were no known commitments or events that would have a material impact on our liquidity. As of the date of this annual report on Form 1-K, we have four Government Properties under development which will require approximately $15,100,000 of funding, net of any lump sum reimbursements, through borrowings on our Credit Facility and issuance of our 10.00% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”).

Capital Resources

Our capital resources are substantially related to (i) the Credit Facility and (ii) the Series C Offering.

On August 14, 2020, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 3,600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to qualified investors in a private offering pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for an aggregate purchase price of $90,000,000. After deducting a placement agent fee of $2,835,000, net proceeds to the Company from the Series C Offering were $87,165,000. On August 14, 2020, the Company used $21,846,295 and $61,250,000 of the net proceeds from the Series C Offering to repay in full all outstanding amounts under a $10,500,000 mezzanine loan and amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, respectively, as of such date.

In December 2021, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, as borrower, amended and restated the credit agreement governing its Credit Facility with KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., as sole bookrunner and lead arranger, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent and administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Facility has total availability of up to $100,000,000, subject to customary terms and availability conditions. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that will permit the Operating Partnership to further increase the commitments available to the Operating Partnership to up to $200,000,000, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company intends to use the Credit Facility to repay certain indebtedness, fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and provide working capital.

The Company and its subsidiaries that directly own properties included in the Credit Facility’s borrowing base are guarantors under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures on December 3, 2025, with a one-time option to extend the maturity date until December 3, 2026 (the “Extension Period”), subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

11

On April 14, 2023, we, through our Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”). Pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to an interest rate which equals, at our option, either (i) the daily simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (which shall not be less than 0.0%) plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points per annum (the “Credit Spread Adjustment”) plus an applicable margin with a range of 170 to 240 basis points, (ii) term SOFR (which shall not be less than 0.0%) plus the Credit Spread Adjustment plus an applicable margin with a range of 170 to 240 basis points, or (iii) a base rate plus an applicable margin with a range of 70 to 140 basis points, with the applicable margin depending on our fixed charge coverage and consolidated leverage ratios.

In addition, the Company incurs an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility Amendment of 0.25% per annum.

The Credit Facility Amendment also contains certain customary financial covenants, as follows: (i) the maximum ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total asset value (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) may not exceed 0.60 to 1.00, (ii) from and after October 1, 2022, the minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to consolidated debt service (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00, (iii) our minimum total liquidity may not be less than $15,000,000, and (iv) the minimum consolidated tangible net worth may not be less than 85.0% of consolidated tangible net worth at the closing date of the Credit Facility Amendment, plus an amount equal to 85.0% of the aggregate net proceeds received from subsequent issuances of the Company’s stock after the closing date of the Credit Facility Amendment. In addition, the Credit Facility Amendment amended the financial covenant testing minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) from and after October 1, 2022, such that it is only tested during the Extension Period, if any, and if tested, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.15 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility Amendment also includes other customary covenants, including limits on the percentage of the Company’s total asset value that may be invested in unimproved land, unconsolidated joint ventures, redevelopment and development assets and loans, advances or extensions of credit, and requires that the Company obtain consent for mergers in which the Company is not the surviving entity. The Company’s dividends and distributions are not permitted to exceed 95% of funds from operations (as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) commencing on and after July 1, 2024. Additionally, the Credit Facility Amendment requires the Company to have received gross proceeds from the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock in an amount no less than (i) $6,500,000 on or prior to January 31, 2023, (ii) $3,500,000 on or prior to March 31, 2023, and (iii) $3,500,000 on or prior to June 30, 2023. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details regarding issuances of Series B Preferred Stock subsequent to December 31, 2022.

These financial and restrictive covenants may limit the investments the Company may make and the Company’s ability to make dividends and distributions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is in compliance with all financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility Amendment. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility Amendment could result in the termination of the commitments thereunder and in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable.

12

As of December 31, 2022, we had borrowed approximately $79,500,000, with approximately $20,500,000 committed and undrawn, and approximately $11,600,000 of availability for borrowing under our Credit Facility.

As of December 31, 2022, we had mortgage notes payable with a balance of approximately $8,900,000. The mortgage notes payable mature in August 2023. The Company intends to repay the mortgage notes payable with borrowings under our Credit Facility at maturity.

Trend Information

Our Company, through our Operating Partnership, is engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, leasing, and disposition of single-tenant properties leased primarily to the U.S. government and administered by the GSA or directly by the federal government agencies or sub-agencies occupying such properties that perform mission-critical functions. As full faith and credit obligations of the United States, these leases offer risk-adjusted returns that are attractive, inasmuch as there continues to be no directly comparable credit quality in the marketplace.

While there can be no assurance, we believe our Credit Facility and the proceeds of the Series C Offering will support our Company’s growth strategy, provide liquidity to recruit and retain qualified personnel, and enhance purchasing power for goods and services in connection with the operation of our Portfolio Properties for the near term.

We are not aware of any material trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events, favorable or unfavorable, other than the effect of national economic conditions, such as inflationary pressures and rising interest rates, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on real estate generally, that may reasonably be anticipated to have a material effect on our revenue or income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause our reported financial information to not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or our financial condition.

Item 4. Security Ownership of Management and Certain Security Holders

The table below sets forth, as of the filing of this annual report, certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our stock for (1) each person who is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of our outstanding shares of any class of voting stock and (2) each of our directors and executive officers as a group, individually naming each director or executive officer who is the beneficial owner of 10% or more of our outstanding shares of any class of voting stock. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such person.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A stockholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (1) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (2) the conversion of a security, (3) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement or (4) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, our shares of Common Stock subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are exercisable as of the filing of this report or will become exercisable within 60 days thereof, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

HC Government Realty Trust, Inc.

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

1. Organization

HC Government Realty Trust, Inc. (the “REIT”), a Maryland corporation, was formed on March 11, 2016 to primarily source, acquire, develop, own and manage built-to-suit and renovated-to-suit, single-tenant properties leased by the U.S. government (“Government Properties”). The REIT focuses primarily on Government Properties within size ranges of 10,000 to 100,000 rentable square feet, and in their initial lease term after original construction or renovation-to-suit. Further, the REIT emphasizes Government Properties that perform mission critical functions. Leases associated with Government Properties are full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America and are administered by the U.S. General Services Administration or directly through the occupying federal agencies or sub-agencies occupying such properties (collectively, the “GSA”).

The REIT owns its properties through the REIT’s subsidiary, HC Government Realty Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership” and together with the REIT, the “Company”). The Operating Partnership invests through wholly-owned special purpose limited liability companies, or special purpose entities (“SPEs”). As of December 31, 2022, the REIT owned approximately 52.0% of the aggregate common limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, or common units, and all of the preferred limited partnership interests in our Operating Partnership, or preferred units.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and related SPEs and the accounts of the REIT. As of December 31, 2022, our portfolio consisted of 30 Government Properties that are leased to and occupied by U.S. government tenant agencies, which we refer to as our “Operating Properties,” as well as three Government Properties in which we are engaged in a development capacity, which we refer to as our “Development Properties.” We refer to our Operating Properties and our Development Properties collectively as our “Portfolio Properties.” As of December 31, 2022, our Portfolio Properties contained approximately 628,000 leased rentable square feet located in 21 states and were 97% leased to the U.S. government. Based on leased rentable square feet, our Portfolio Properties have a weighted average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2022 of 9.5 years if none of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised and 5.9 years if all of the tenants’ early termination rights are exercised. The Company operates as an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2017.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Consolidation Basis - The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the REIT, the Operating Partnership and 33 SPEs as of December 31, 2022. Of the SPEs, 30 are wholly-owned entities that are consolidated based upon the Company having a controlling financial interest, and three are consolidated variable interest entities based upon management’s determination that the Operating Partnership has a variable interest in the entities and is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included from the dates of acquisition.

24

These statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

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

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash - Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments that mature three months or less from when they are purchased. Restricted cash consists of amounts escrowed for future real estate taxes, insurance, and capital expenditures, as required by certain of the Company’s mortgage debt agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the totals of the same such amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,945,115	$	2,889,654
Restricted cash		304,326		222,362
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	5,249,441	$	3,112,016

At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance deposited with financial institutions may exceed federally insurable limits. The Company maintains separate bank accounts at the Operating Partnership and SPE level. At December 31, 2022, two accounts had approximately $4,358,000 in excess of insured limits; all others were below the insurable limits. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in connection with such deposits.

Investment in Real Estate – Investment in real estate, net is comprised of all tangible assets held by the Company for rent or development. Real estate assets are recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs incurred that extend the useful life of the real estate investment are capitalized. Third party costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized. Development, re-development, and certain costs directly related to the improvement of real properties are capitalized.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on business combinations, the Company determines the fair value of the real estate assets acquired on an “as if vacant” basis.

Management estimates the “as if vacant” value considering a variety of factors, including the physical condition and quality of the buildings, estimated rental and absorption rates, estimated future cash flows, and valuation assumptions consistent with current market conditions. The “as if vacant” fair value is allocated to land, buildings and improvements based on relevant information obtained in connection with the acquisition of the property, including appraisals and property tax assessments.

Above-market and below-market lease values are determined on a lease-by-lease basis based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risk associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (a) the contractual amounts to be paid under the lease and (b) management’s estimate of the fair market lease rate for the corresponding space over the remaining non-cancellable terms of the related leases. Above (below) market lease values are recorded as leasehold intangibles and are recognized as an increase or decrease in rental income over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease. Amortization relating to above (below) market leases for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $186,911 and $227,687, respectively, and was recorded as a net reduction to rental revenues.

25

In-place leases are valued based on the net rents earned that would have been foregone during an assumed lease-up period. Lease-up costs are valued based upon avoided brokerage fees. In-place leases and lease-up costs are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable term of the leases.

Management utilizes independent third parties to assist with the determination of fair value of the various tangible and intangible assets that are acquired. The difference between the total of the calculated values described above, and the actual purchase price plus acquisition costs, is allocated pro-rata to each component of calculated value.

The Company capitalizes pre-development costs incurred in pursuit of new development opportunities for which the future development is probable. For properties under development or redevelopment, the Company capitalizes interest expense, real estate taxes and direct and indirect project costs associated with the development and redevelopment activities. With respect to the capitalization of interest expense, if there is a specific borrowing for the property undergoing development activities, the Company applies the interest rate of that borrowing to the average accumulated expenditures that do not exceed such borrowing. If there are no specific borrowings, the Company applies its weighted average interest rate on its senior revolving credit facility to the average accumulated expenditures. The Company capitalizes costs while development activities are underway until the building is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, at which time rental income recognition commences and rental operating costs, real estate taxes, insurance, and other subsequent carrying costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use and is calculated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Range of useful lives for depreciable assets are as follows:

Category	Term
Buildings	40 years
Building and site improvements	5 - 40 years
Tenant improvements	Shorter of remaining life of the lease or useful life

Tenant Improvements - As part of the leasing process, the Company may provide the lessee with an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and recorded as tenant improvements and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Factors considered during this evaluation include, among other things, who holds legal title to the improvements as well as other controlling rights provided by the lease agreement and provisions for substantiation of such costs (e.g., unilateral control of the tenant space during the build-out process). Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease.

Leases - The Company’s real estate is leased to tenants on a modified gross lease basis. The leases provide for a minimum rent which is generally flat during the non-cancellable term of the lease and includes a reimbursement for certain operating costs of the property. The operating cost reimbursement is established at lease commencement and is subject to annual adjustment based on changes in the consumer price index. Operating expenses include repairs and maintenance, cleaning, landscaping, and utilities. The lessee is also required by the lease to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes over the real estate tax base year. The real estate tax base year is established as the real estate taxes incurred during the first full tax year after lease commencement or otherwise as defined in the lease. In some cases, the leases provide the tenant with renewal options, subject to generally the same terms and conditions of the initial term of the lease. The Company accounts for its leases using the operating method.

26

Impairment – Real Estate - The Company reviews its investment in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. To determine if impairment may exist, the Company reviews its properties and identifies those that have experienced either a change or an event or circumstance warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, the Company estimates the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition, on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized approximately $47,000 of impairment charges related to roof damage from storms at its property located in Monroe, Louisiana, which is included in Loss on involuntary conversion in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Organizational, Offering and Related Costs - Organizational and offering costs of the Company are presented as a reduction of stockholders’ equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. Organizational and offering costs represent expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and the filing of the Company’s securities offering pursuant to Regulation A.

Revenue Recognition - Revenue includes base rent due from tenants in accordance with the terms of the respective lease. The Company recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the respective lease. Revenue also includes reimbursement income from the recovery of all or a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes and is recognized in the same periods as the related expenses are incurred. For newly acquired properties, the Company begins to recognize rental income from leases concurrently with the date of the property acquisition closing. Revenue also includes the amortization or accretion of acquired above (below) market leases over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease.

Rents and Other Tenant Receivables, net - Rents and other tenant receivables represent amounts billed and due from tenants. When a portion of the tenants’ receivable is estimated to be uncollectible, an allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. Due to the high credit-worthiness of the tenants, there were no allowances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company had a straight-line rent receivable of $128,647 and $82,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Income Taxes – The REIT has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and applicable Treasury regulations relating to REIT qualification beginning with its fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. In order to maintain this REIT status, the regulations require the REIT to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to stockholders and meet certain other asset and income tests, as well as other requirements. If the REIT 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 REIT loses its REIT status, it cannot elect to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year it loses its REIT status unless the REIT’s failure to qualify was due to reasonable cause and certain other conditions were satisfied.

27

Management analyzes the Company’s tax filing positions in the U.S. federal, state, and local jurisdictions where the Company is required to file income tax returns for all open tax years. If, based on this analysis, management determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a liability is established along with an estimate for interest and penalty. Management has determined that there were no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 and 2021; accordingly, no associated interest and penalties were required to be accrued at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Noncontrolling Interest - Noncontrolling interest represents the common units in the Operating Partnership not attributable to the REIT. The noncontrolling interest is calculated by multiplying the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage at the balance sheet date by the Operating Partnership’s outstanding common equity. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the Operating Partnership common units not owned by the REIT by the total Operating Partnership common units outstanding. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage will change as additional common units are issued or as common units are exchanged for the REIT’s common stock. Subsequent changes in the noncontrolling interest value are recorded to additional paid-in capital. Accordingly, the value of the noncontrolling interest is included in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets but presented separately from the REIT’s equity. The noncontrolling interest was 48.0% and 45.8% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Deferred Costs – Deferred financing fees include costs incurred in obtaining debt. For debt other than a line-of credit arrangement, deferred financing fees are capitalized and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees related to line-of-credit arrangements are capitalized and presented as an asset within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees are amortized through interest expense over the life of the respective loans on a basis which approximates the effective interest method for debt other than a line-of credit arrangement or straight-line over the contractual term of the arrangement for a line-of-credit arrangement. Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of debt are written off in the period of repayment as a loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. In the event an equity financing is no longer considered probable of being consummated, all deferred offering costs are written off in the period such determination is made. For equity financings classified as equity, deferred offering costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital against the offering proceeds. For equity financings required to be classified as a liability, these costs are capitalized and presented as a direct reduction from the gross proceeds from the equity financing within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred Revenue – Deferred revenue primarily consists of lump sum reimbursements made by tenants to the Company for landlord improvements in excess of a tenant improvement allowance. Lump sum reimbursements are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the non-cancellable lease term through revenue.

Equity-Based Compensation – The Company grants equity-based compensation awards to its officers, employees, and non-employee directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock and long-term incentive plan units in the Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”). The Company recognizes compensation expense for non-vested restricted shares of common stock and LTIP Units granted to officers, employees, and non-employee directors on a straight-line basis over the requisite service and/or performance period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

28

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings (loss) per share calculation plus the number of common shares, if any, that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

The following securities were not included in the computation of the Company’s diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

	As of December 31,
	2022		2021
Potentially dilutive securities outstanding
Convertible common units		1,118,416		1,118,416
Convertible long-term incentive plan units		342,793		209,631
Convertible preferred stock		4,344,386		2,620,473
Total potentially dilutive securities		5,805,595		3,948,520

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Target Improvements to Topic 842 Leases (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11 provides lessors a practical expedient to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component if the timing and pattern of transfer for the lease and nonlease components are the same and if the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Lease components are elements of an arrangement that provide the customer with the right to use an identified asset. Nonlease components are distinct elements of a contract that are not related to securing the use of the leased asset and revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts and Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company assessed and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for nonlease components and the associated lease component are the same. The Company determined that the predominant component was the lease component and as such the Company has made a policy election to account for and present the lease component and the nonlease component as a single component in the revenue section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The application of the practical expedient did not result in a material change to the recognition of rental income.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective transition method. Further, the Company has elected to apply the package of practical expedients, which allowed the Company, as both the lessor and lessee, to not reassess all of its leases that had commenced as of January 1, 2022.

29

As of January 1, 2022, the Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability of approximately $1,260,000 on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, related to the leases where the Company is the lessee. The lease liability associated with these leases is reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accrued expenses and other liabilities and the right-of-use asset is reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets within Prepaid expenses and other assets. Associated lease expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term based on the total lease payments.

In April 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting; particularly as it relates to the risk of cessation of LIBOR. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by this ASU do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company has determined that these elections did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3. Variable Interest Entities

With respect to the three SPEs where Holmwood Capital, LLC (“Holmwood”) assigned to the Operating Partnership all its rights, title and interest in and to any and all profits, losses and distributed cash flow, management determined these SPEs to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership has a variable interest and that Holmwood equity holders lacked the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The Company determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation” to consolidate these SPEs. On March 27, 2023, the Operating Partnership completed the transfer of the membership interest of these three SPEs, such that they are now wholly-owned by the Operating Partnership. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for further details.

The following table presents a summary of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021, which are included on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets in the table below includes those assets that can only be used to settle obligations of the VIEs and the liabilities include third-party liabilities of the VIEs only, and for which creditors or beneficial interest holders do not have recourse to the Company. The assets and liabilities exclude intercompany balances that eliminate in consolidation.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

In December 2021, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, amended and restated its senior revolving credit facility (as amended, the “Credit Facility”) with KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc., as sole bookrunner and lead arranger, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent and administrative agent. The Credit Facility has total availability of up to $100,000,000, subject to customary terms and availability conditions. The Credit Facility includes an accordion feature that will permit the Operating Partnership to further increase the commitments available to the Operating Partnership to up to $200,000,000, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company intends to use the Credit Facility to repay certain indebtedness, fund acquisitions and capital expenditures and provide working capital.

The Company and its subsidiaries that directly own properties included in the Credit Facility’s borrowing base are guarantors under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility matures on December 3, 2025, with a one-time option to extend the maturity date until December 3, 2026 (the “Extension Period”), subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

On April 14, 2023, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into an amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”). Pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment, borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to an interest rate which equals, at the Company’s option, either (i) the daily simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (which shall not be less than 0.0%) plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points per annum (the “Credit Spread Adjustment”) plus an applicable margin with a range of 170 to 240 basis points, (ii) term SOFR (which shall not be less than 0.0%) plus the Credit Spread Adjustment plus an applicable margin with a range of 170 to 240 basis points, or (iii) a base rate plus an applicable margin with a range of 70 to 140 basis points, with the applicable margin depending on the Company’s fixed charge coverage and consolidated leverage ratios. In addition, the Company incurs an unused facility fee on the revolving commitments under the Credit Facility Amendment of 0.25% per annum.

34

The Credit Facility Amendment also contains certain customary financial covenants, as follows: (i) the maximum ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total asset value (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) may not exceed 0.60 to 1.00, (ii) from and after October 1, 2022, the minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to consolidated debt service (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) may not be less than 1.40 to 1.00, (iii) the Company’s minimum total liquidity may not be less than $15,000,000, and (iv) the minimum consolidated tangible net worth may not be less than 85.0% of consolidated tangible net worth at the closing date of the Credit Facility Amendment, plus an amount equal to 85.0% of the aggregate net proceeds received from subsequent issuances of the Company’s stock after the closing date of the Credit Facility Amendment. In addition, the Credit Facility Amendment amended the financial covenant testing minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges (each as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”) from and after October 1, 2022, such that it is only tested during the Extension Period, if any, and if tested, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.15 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility Amendment also includes other customary covenants, including limits on the percentage of the Company’s total asset value that may be invested in unimproved land, unconsolidated joint ventures, redevelopment and development assets and loans, advances or extensions of credit, and requires that the Company obtain consent for mergers in which the Company is not the surviving entity. The Company’s dividends and distributions are not permitted to exceed 95% of funds from operations (as defined in the Credit Facility Amendment) commencing on July 1, 2024 and thereafter. Additionally, the Credit Facility Amendment requires the Company to have received gross proceeds from the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s 10.00% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) in an amount no less than (i) $6,500,000 on or prior to January 31, 2023, (ii) $3,500,000 on or prior to March 31, 2023, and (iii) $3,500,000 on or prior to June 30, 2023. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for details regarding issuances of Series B Preferred Stock subsequent to December 31, 2022.

These financial and restrictive covenants may limit the investments the Company may make and the Company’s ability to make dividends and distributions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial and restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility Amendment. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility Amendment could result in the termination of the commitments thereunder and in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $79,500,000 and $29,000,000 outstanding and approximately $20,500,000 and $71,000,000 committed and undrawn under the Credit Facility, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding borrowings was 5.98% and 1.81% as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying value.

Mortgage Notes Payable

8. Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock

On August 14, 2020, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s 7.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at $25.00 per share to qualified investors in a private offering pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for an aggregate purchase price of $90,000,000 (the “Series C Offering”). Net proceeds from the Series C Offering were $86,521,914, after deducting the placement agent fee and legal and other professional fees paid in connection with the Series C Offering, and are presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, net of unamortized deferred offering costs.

The Company used the net proceeds from the Series C Offering primarily to acquire new Government Properties, repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility, fully repay the Company’s mezzanine debt, purchase existing shares of the Company’s 7.00% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and for general corporate purposes.

The Series C Preferred Stock has an aggregate liquidation preference of $90,000,000, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The Series C Preferred Stock is senior to the Company’s common stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock expressly designated as ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Series C Preferred Stock ranks on a parity with any class or series of the Company’s capital stock expressly designated as ranking on a parity with the Series C Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

The Series C Preferred Stock is mandatorily redeemable by the Company on August 14, 2027 (“Mandatory Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to August 14, 2023 except (i) in order to preserve the REIT’s qualification as a REIT, (ii) upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary classifying and designating the Series C Preferred Stock) and (iii) at any time that the aggregate distributions to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock result in a multiple on invested capital equal to the $25.00 liquidation preference per share plus the product of (x) the dividend rate of 7.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share and (y) three.

36

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Series C Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 14, 2023 at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared).

Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights. However, the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock (voting as a separate class) is required to amend the Company’s charter (including the Articles Supplementary classifying and designating the Series C Preferred Stock) in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock

If the Company fails to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock by the Mandatory Redemption Date, and such non-compliance remains uncured by the Company on the nine-month anniversary following the Mandatory Redemption Date (a “Failed Redemption”), holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at a special meeting scheduled by the Company to be held no later than 90 days after the Failed Redemption. The number of directors will be automatically increased to such number as is necessary to enable the holders of Series C Preferred Stock to exercise such right. If, at any time following a Failed Redemption, the Company completes the redemption, the terms of any and all directors elected by the holders of Series C Preferred Stock will automatically expire immediately following such redemption and the number of directors will be automatically decreased by a corresponding number.

In accordance with FASB ASU No. 2017-11, “Distinguishing Liability from Equity” (Topic 480), the Company has classified the Series C Preferred Stock as a liability as it has characteristics that require liability classification. The Series C Preferred Stock is presented as mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, net of unamortized deferred offering costs, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Further, the related dividend payments are recorded as a component of interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized interest expense related to the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock of $6,300,000.

The Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to a dividend of 7.00% per annum, accruing from the date of issuance, on a cumulative basis, quarterly in arrears. Dividends continue to accrue even if not authorized, declared, or paid. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued, unpaid preferred stock dividends on the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock were $1,575,000 reported in declared dividends and distributions on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company incurred $3,478,086 in placement agent fees and legal and other professional fees related to the Series C Offering. These costs are recorded as deferred offering costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock liability and are being amortized using the effective interest method over the mandatory redemption period.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 3,600,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

37

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company amortized $433,844 and $401,907, respectively, of deferred offering costs related to the Series C Preferred Stock in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Series A Preferred Stock

In 2016, the Company issued 144,500 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to various investors in exchange for a total of $3,612,500, or $25.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock upon the occurrence of the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange. As the listing event did not occur on or prior to March 31, 2020, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may, at their option, at any time and from time to time after such date, convert all, but not less than all, of their outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock in accordance with the following formula:

38

Conversion Amount = (($25.00*X₁) + X₂)/$10.00) + 0.2*(($25.00*X₁)/$10.00) where:

“X₁” means the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the applicable holder; and

“X₂” means the aggregate accrued but unpaid dividends on the holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable conversion date.

On August 21, 2020, the Company offered to repurchase all of its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share (the “Repurchase Price”), using a portion of the net proceeds from the Series C Offering (the “Series A Repurchase Offer”). The Repurchase Price was equal to the liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Repurchase Offer expired on September 11, 2020. The Series A Repurchase Offer was designed to provide liquidity to holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, for which there is no public market, and to lower the Company’s costs of operations. The Company repurchased 113,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate repurchase price of $2,837,500.

The Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock upon the occurrence of the Company’s listing on a national securities exchange. As the listing event did not occur on or prior to March 31, 2020, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may, at their option, at any time and from time to time after such date, convert all, but not less than all, of their outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock. Upon conversion, a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the original issue price of the Series B Preferred Stock (plus any accrued and unpaid dividends) divided by the lesser of (i) $9.10 or (ii) the fair market value per share of the common stock.

On September 20, 2021, the Company filed Articles Supplementary with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland classifying and designating an additional 1,600,000 authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

On May 14, 2020, HCA and Holmwood filed suit in the Delaware Chancery Court against the REIT and the Operating Partnership.

The suit also alleges that the Company cannot recoup certain expenses to which the Company claims entitlement. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims and has brought counterclaims in the matter. Because the litigation is in its very early stages, at this time, the Company cannot estimate the financial impact of the litigation on the Company, if any.
