NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

BUSINESS

Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company” or “PINE”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates a high-quality portfolio of commercial net lease properties. The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and “the Company” as used in this report refer to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. together with our consolidated subsidiaries.

Our portfolio consists of 138 net leased properties located in 35 states. The properties in our portfolio are primarily subject to long-term, net leases, which generally require the tenant to pay directly or reimburse us for property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance and certain capital expenditures. The Company may also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments. Our investments in commercial loans are generally secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in an entity that owns real estate. See Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments” for further disclosure related to the Company’s commercial loans and investments.

The Company operates in two primary business segments: income properties and commercial loans and investments.

The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (our “Manager”). CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE: CTO) is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded REIT and the sole member of our Manager (“CTO”). All of our executive officers also serve as executive officers of CTO, and one of our executive officers and directors, John P. Albright, also serves as an executive officer and director of CTO.

ORGANIZATION

The Company is a Maryland corporation that was formed on August 19, 2019. On November 26, 2019, the Company closed its initial public offering (“IPO”). We conduct the substantial majority of our operations through Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). Our wholly owned subsidiary, Alpine Income Property GP, LLC (“PINE GP”), is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2024, we have a total ownership interest in the Operating Partnership of 91.8%, with CTO holding, directly and indirectly, an 8.2% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Our interest in the Operating Partnership generally entitles us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage ownership. We, through PINE GP, generally have the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the business and affairs of the Operating Partnership, subject to certain approval and voting rights of the limited partners. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) oversees our business and affairs. 

 The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, to its stockholders (which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to state and local taxes on its income and property and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards related to the manner in which enterprises report operating segment information. The Company operates in two primary business segments including income properties and commercial loans and investments, as further discussed within Note 20, “Business Segment Data”. The Company has no other reportable segments. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a disaggregated basis for purposes of allocating and evaluating financial performance.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

REAL ESTATE

The Company’s real estate assets are comprised of the properties in its portfolio, and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Such properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the applicable property accounts. The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred. The cost of property retired or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation or amortization, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in the statement of operations. The amount of depreciation of real estate, exclusive of amortization related to intangible assets, recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, was $4.2 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, in conducting its impairment analyses. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, and real estate held for sale, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of situations considered to be triggering events include: a substantial decline in operating cash flows during the period, a current or projected loss from operations, a property not fully leased or leased at rates that are less than current market rates, and any other quantitative or qualitative events deemed significant by management. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment by using an undiscounted cash flow approach, which considers future estimated capital expenditures. Impairment of long-lived assets is measured at fair value less cost to sell.

10

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING FOR ACQUISITIONS OF REAL ESTATE SUBJECT TO A LEASE

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

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

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

Investments in real estate which are determined to be “held for sale” pursuant to FASB Topic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment are reported separately on the consolidated balance sheets at the lesser of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Real estate investments classified as held for sale are not depreciated.

SALES OF REAL ESTATE

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

PROPERTY LEASE REVENUE

The rental arrangements associated with the Company’s property portfolio are classified as operating leases. The Company recognizes lease income on these properties on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, contractual lease payment increases are recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The periodic difference between lease income recognized under this method and contractual lease payment terms (i.e., straight-line rent) is recorded as a deferred operating lease receivable and is included in straight-line rent adjustment on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s leases provide for reimbursement from tenants for variable lease payments including common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. A portion of our variable lease payment revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued.

11

The collectability of tenant receivables and straight-line rent adjustments is determined based on, among other things, the aging of the tenant receivable, management’s evaluation of credit risk associated with the tenant and industry of the tenant, and a review of specifically identified accounts using judgment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

Investments in commercial loans and investments held for investment are recorded at historical cost, net of unaccreted origination costs and current expected credit losses (“CECL”) reserve.

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

RECOGNITION OF INTEREST INCOME FROM COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

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

OPERATING LAND LEASE EXPENSE

The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties, which leases are classified as operating leases pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases. The corresponding lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included in real estate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is reported at Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which represents valuation based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

RESTRICTED CASH

Restricted cash totaled $2.8 million as of March 31, 2024, which is being held in interest, tax, insurance, and/or capital expenditure reserve accounts related to the Company’s commercial loans and investments.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITY

The Company accounts for its cash flow hedging derivatives in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging. Depending upon the hedge’s value at each balance sheet date, the derivatives are included in either other assets or accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at its fair value. On the date each interest rate swap was entered into, the Company designated the derivatives as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid related to the recognized long-term debt liabilities.

12

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

Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items (see Note 13, “Interest Rate Swaps”).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable included in other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Credit Facility, hereinafter defined, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its commercial loans and investments and term loans based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rate used to calculate the fair value of debt approximates current lending rates for loans and assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, which is a Level 2 non-recurring measurement, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

● Level 2 – Valuation is based upon inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

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

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Certain individual tenants in the Company’s portfolio of properties accounted for more than 10% of lease income from the Company’s income properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, Walgreens accounted for 11% and 12% of total revenues, respectively.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 13%, 11%, and 11% of the Company’s real estate portfolio, based on square footage, was located in the states of Texas, New Jersey, and Michigan, respectively.

NOTE 7. PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT

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

There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Commercial Loans and Investments. The Company evaluates the collectability of its commercial loans and investments on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company accounts for provisions for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Changes in the Company’s allowance for credit losses are presented within change in provision for impairment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a charge of less than $0.1 million representing the provision for credit losses related to our commercial loans and investments. The charge of less than $0.1 million was driven by the initial estimated CECL allowance based on our investment activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We are unable to use historical data to estimate expected credit losses as we have incurred no losses to date. Management utilizes a loss-rate method and considers macroeconomic factors to estimate its CECL allowance, which is calculated based on the amortized cost basis of the commercial loans.

There were no such charges during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NOTE 9. OPERATING LAND LEASES

The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties. FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases, whether qualifying as an operating or finance lease. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s right-of-use assets totaled $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and the corresponding lease liabilities totaled $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which balances are reflected within other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the lease payments utilizing discount rates estimated to be equal to that which the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, for an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.

The Company’s operating land leases do not include variable lease payments and generally provide renewal options, at the Company’s election, to extend the terms of the respective leases. Renewal option periods are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company, as lessee, will exercise the option to extend the lease.

Amortization of right-of-use assets for operating land leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included within real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization totaled less than $0.1 million during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

See Note 13, “Interest Rate Swaps” for further disclosure related to the Company’s interest rate swaps.

Credit Facility. On September 30, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement (the “2022 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” or “Credit Facility”) with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders named therein, which amended and restated the 2027 Term Loan Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined) to include, among other things:

● the origination of a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $250 million which matures on January 31, 2027, with the option to extend for one year;

● an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional revolving loan commitments and additional term loan commitments, provided the aggregate amount of revolving loan commitments and term loan commitments shall not exceed $750 million;

● the amendment of certain financial covenants; and

● the addition of a sustainability-linked pricing component pursuant to which the Company will receive interest rate reductions up to 0.025% based on performance against sustainability performance targets.

Pursuant to the 2022 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues at a rate ranging from SOFR plus 0.10% plus 125 basis points to SOFR plus 0.10% plus 220 basis points, based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2022 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company may utilize daily simple SOFR or term SOFR, at its election. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 or 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity.

The Company is subject to customary restrictive covenants under the 2022 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the 2026 Term Loan Credit Agreement (hereinafter defined), as amended, collectively referred to herein as the “Credit Agreements”, including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. The Credit Agreements also contain financial covenants covering the Company, including but not limited to, tangible net worth and fixed charge coverage ratios.

At March 31, 2024, the commitment level under the Credit Facility was $250.0 million and the Company had an outstanding balance of $73.0 million.

NOTE 13. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from fluctuating interest rates related to the below noted borrowings. The interest rate agreements were 100% effective during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Accordingly, the changes in fair value on the interest rate swaps have been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets.

Information related to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements is noted below (in thousands):

Credit Facility (5)	3/1/2023	3/1/2028	3.21%+ 0.10%+ applicable spread	$	50,000	$	1,550

(1) As of March 31, 2024, the Company has utilized interest rate swaps to fix SOFR and achieve a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.05% plus 0.10% and the applicable spread on the $100.0 million 2026 Term Loan balance. The weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.05%, is comprised of: (i) rate swaps on $60.0 million of the 2026 Term Loan balance effective May 21, 2021, as amended on April 14, 2022 in connection with the 2026 Term Loan Amendment, to fix SOFR (prior to April 14, 2022, the swap was to fix LIBOR), and (ii) a rate swap on $40.0 million of the 2026 Term Loan Balance effective September 30, 2022, to fix SOFR.

(2) As of March 31, 2024, the Company has utilized interest rate swaps to fix SOFR and achieve a weighted average fixed interest rate of 0.51% plus 0.10% and the applicable spread on $80.0 million of the $100.0 million 2027 Term Loan balance. The weighted average fixed interest rate of 0.51%, is comprised of two rate swaps on $80.0 million of the 2027 Term Loan balance effective September 30, 2021, as amended on April 14, 2022 in connection with the 2027 Term Loan Amendment, to fix SOFR (prior to April 14, 2022, the swap was to fix LIBOR).

(3) As of March 31, 2024, the Company has utilized an interest rate swap to fix SOFR and achieve a fixed interest rate of 3.84% plus 0.10% and the applicable spread on $20.0 million of the $100.0 million 2027 Term Loan balance.

(4) The interest rate swap agreement hedges $80.0 million of the $100.0 million 2027 Term Loan balance under different terms and commences concurrent to the interest rate agreements maturing on November 29, 2024 to extend the fixed interest rate through maturity on January 31, 2027.

(5) As of March 31, 2024, the Company has utilized an interest rate swap to fix SOFR and achieve a fixed interest rate of 3.21% plus 0.10% and the applicable spread on $50.0 million of the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility. The swap was effective on March 1, 2023.

23

The use of interest rate swap agreements carries risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these agreements are not able to perform. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not currently anticipate that any of the counterparties to the Company’s interest rate swap agreements will fail to meet their obligations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no events of default related to the Company's interest rate swap agreements.

ATM PROGRAM

On December 14, 2020, the Company implemented a $100.0 million “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “2020 ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 446,167 shares under the 2020 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $8.7 million at a weighted average price of $19.44 per share, generating net proceeds of $8.6 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 761,902 shares under the 2020 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $14.0 million at a weighted average price of $18.36 per share, generating net proceeds of $13.8 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.2 million. The 2020 ATM Program was terminated in advance of implementing the 2022 ATM Program, hereinafter defined.

On October 21, 2022, the Company implemented a $150.0 million “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “2022 ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold 665,929 shares under the 2022 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $12.6 million at a weighted average price of $18.96 per share, generating net proceeds of $12.4 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company sold 665,929 shares under the 2022 ATM Program for gross proceeds of $12.6 million at a weighted average price of $18.96 per share, generating net proceeds of $12.4 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.2 million.

In the aggregate, under the 2020 ATM Program and 2022 ATM Program, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 1,925,408 shares for gross proceeds of $36.5 million at a weighted average price of $18.96 per share, generating net proceeds of $36.0 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.5 million.

24

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

As of March 31, 2024, CTO holds, directly and indirectly, an 8.2% noncontrolling ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as a result of 1,223,854 OP Units issued to CTO at the time of the Company’s IPO.

DIVIDENDS

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate U.S. federal corporate income taxes payable by the Company. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company declared and paid cash dividends on its common stock and OP Units of $0.275 per share.

NOTE 15. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are determined based on the assumption of the redemption of OP Units on a one-for-one basis using the treasury stock method at average market prices for the periods. 

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc.	$	(260)	$	3,339
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding		13,621,208		14,000,553
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares Applicable to OP Units using Treasury Stock Method (1)		1,223,854		1,703,494
Total Shares Applicable to Diluted Earnings per Share		14,845,062		15,704,047
Per Common Share Data:
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc.
Basic	$	(0.02)	$	0.24
Diluted	$	(0.02)	$	0.21

(1) Includes the weighted average of 1,223,854 and 1,703,494 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, underlying OP Units including (i) 1,223,854 shares underlying OP Units issued to CTO and (ii) 479,640 shares underlying OP Units issued to an unrelated third party, which OP Units were redeemed by PINE for an equivalent number of shares of common stock of PINE during the three months ended December 31, 2023.

NOTE 16. SHARE REPURCHASES

In May 2023, the Board approved a $5.0 million stock repurchase program (the “2023 $5.0 Million Repurchase Program”). Under the 2023 $5.0 Million Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 23,889 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $0.4 million, or an average price per share of $15.22, during the year ended December 31, 2023.

25

In July 2023, the Board approved a $15.0 million stock repurchase program (the “2023 $15.0 Million Repurchase Program”). The 2023 $15.0 Million Repurchase Program replaced the 2023 $5.0 Million Repurchase Program. Under the 2023 $15.0 Million Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 875,122 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $14.2 million, or an average price per share of $16.26, during the year ended December 31, 2023. Under the 2023 $15.0 Million Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 45,768 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $0.8 million, or an average price per share of $16.90, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which completed the 2023 $15.0 Million Repurchase Program.

There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NOTE 17. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Each non-employee member of the Board has the option to receive his or her annual retainer fee in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares issued to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing the amount of the quarterly retainer fee payment due to such director by the 20-day trailing average closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the last business day of the calendar quarter, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.08 million, or 5,131 shares, which were issued on April 1, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.08 million, or 4,776 shares, which were issued on April 3, 2023.

Stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Stock Compensation Expense – Director Restricted Stock	$	—	$	—
Stock Compensation Expense – Director Retainers Paid in Stock		79		80
Total Stock Compensation Expense	$	79	$	80

(1) Director retainers are issued through additional paid in capital in arrears. Therefore, the change in additional paid in capital during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 reported on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity does not agree to the total non-cash compensation reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTE 18. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY

We are externally managed by the Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. Subsequent to the IPO, through March 31, 2024, CTO has purchased an aggregate of 293,024 shares of PINE common stock in the open market including (i) 129,271 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2023 for $2.1 million, or an average price per share of $16.21, (ii) 155,665 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2022 for $2.7 million, or an average price per share of $17.57 and (iii) 8,088 shares purchased during the year ended December 31, 2021 for $0.1 million, or an average price per share of $17.65. CTO did not purchase any shares of PINE common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, CTO owns, in the aggregate, 1,223,854 OP Units and 1,108,814 shares of PINE common stock, inclusive of (i) 394,737 shares of common stock totaling $7.5 million issued in connection with a private placement that closed concurrently with the IPO, (ii) 421,053 shares of common stock totaling $8.0 million issued in connection with the IPO, and (iii) 293,024 shares of common stock totaling $5.0 million purchased by CTO subsequent to the IPO. The aggregate 1,223,854 OP Units and 1,108,814 shares of PINE common stock held by CTO represent an investment totaling $35.6 million, or 15.7% of PINE’s outstanding equity, as of March 31, 2024.

Management Agreement

On November 26, 2019, the Operating Partnership and PINE entered into a management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, our Manager manages, operates and administers our day-to-day operations, business and affairs, subject to the direction and supervision of the Board and in accordance with the investment guidelines approved and monitored by the Board. We pay our Manager a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears.

Our Manager has the ability to earn an annual incentive fee based on our total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. We would pay our Manager an incentive fee with respect to each annual measurement period in the amount of the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was due for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on November 26, 2024 and will automatically renew for an unlimited number of successive one-year periods thereafter, unless the agreement is not renewed or is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Our independent directors review our Manager’s performance and the management fees annually and, following the initial term, the Management Agreement may be terminated annually upon the affirmative vote of two-thirds of our independent directors or upon a determination by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based upon (i) unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to us or (ii) a determination that the management fees payable to our Manager are not fair, subject to our Manager’s right to prevent such termination due to unfair fees by accepting a reduction of management fees agreed to by two-thirds of our independent directors. We may also terminate the Management Agreement for cause at any time, including during the initial term, without the payment of any termination fee, with 30 days’ prior written notice from the Board. During the initial term of the Management Agreement, we may not terminate the Management Agreement except for cause. 

We pay directly or reimburse our Manager for certain expenses, if incurred by our Manager. We do not reimburse any compensation expenses incurred by our Manager or its affiliates. Expense reimbursements to our Manager are made in cash on a quarterly basis following the end of each quarter. In addition, we pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by our Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement.

The Company incurred management fee expenses totaling $1.0 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also paid dividends on the common stock and OP Units owned by affiliates of the Manager in the amount of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following table represents amounts due to (from) CTO (in thousands):

	As of
Description	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Management Fee due to CTO	$	1,046	$	1,062
Other		33		(10)
Total (1)	$	1,079	$	1,052

(1) Included in accrued expenses, see Note 11, “Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses, and Other Liabilities”.

27

ROFO Agreement

On November 26, 2019, PINE also entered into an Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement with CTO (the “ROFO Agreement”). During the term of the ROFO Agreement, CTO will not, and will cause each of its affiliates (which for purposes of the ROFO Agreement will not include our company and our subsidiaries) not to, acquire, directly or indirectly, a single-tenant, net leased property, unless CTO has notified us of the opportunity and we have affirmatively rejected the opportunity to acquire the applicable property or properties.

The terms of the ROFO Agreement do not restrict CTO or any of its affiliates from providing financing for a third party’s acquisition of single-tenant, net leased properties or from developing and owning any single-tenant, net leased property.

Pursuant to the ROFO Agreement, neither CTO nor any of its affiliates (which for purposes of the ROFO Agreement does not include our company and our subsidiaries) may sell to any third party any single-tenant, net leased property that was owned by CTO or any of its affiliates as of the closing date of the IPO or that is developed and owned by CTO or any of its affiliates after the closing date of the IPO, without first offering us the right to purchase such property.

The term of the ROFO Agreement will continue for so long as the Management Agreement with our Manager is in effect.

On April 6, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a certain subsidiary of CTO for the purchase of one net lease property for $11.5 million. The acquisition was completed on April 23, 2021.

On April 2, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with certain subsidiaries of CTO for the purchase of six net lease properties (the “CMBS Portfolio”). The terms of the purchase and sale agreement, as amended on April 20, 2021, provided a total purchase price of $44.5 million for the CMBS Portfolio. The acquisition of the CMBS Portfolio was completed on June 30, 2021.

On January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a certain subsidiary of CTO for the purchase of one net lease property for $6.9 million. The acquisition was completed on January 7, 2022.

The entry into these purchase and sale agreements, and subsequent completion of the related acquisitions, are a result of the Company exercising its right to purchase the aforementioned properties under the ROFO Agreement.   

Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may exist or could arise in the future with CTO and its affiliates, including our Manager, the individuals who serve as our executive officers and executive officers of CTO, any individual who serves as a director of our company and as a director of CTO and any limited partner of the Operating Partnership. Conflicts may include, without limitation: conflicts arising from the enforcement of agreements between us and CTO or our Manager; conflicts in the amount of time that executive officers and employees of CTO, who are provided to us through our Manager, will spend on our affairs versus CTO’s affairs; and conflicts in future transactions that we may pursue with CTO and its affiliates. We do not generally expect to enter into joint ventures with CTO, but if we do so, the terms and conditions of our joint venture investment will be subject to the approval of a majority of disinterested directors of the Board.

In addition, we are subject to conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with our Manager. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, our Manager is obligated to supply us with our senior management team. However, our Manager is not obligated to dedicate any specific CTO personnel exclusively to us, nor are the CTO personnel provided to us by our Manager obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business. Additionally, our Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO. All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO and one of our officers (John P. Albright) is also a member of CTO’s board of directors. As a result, our Manager and the CTO personnel it provides to us may have conflicts between their duties to us and their duties to, and interests in, CTO.

We may acquire, sell, or finance net leased properties that would potentially fit the investment criteria for our Manager or its affiliates. Similarly, our Manager or its affiliates may acquire, sell, or finance net leased properties that would

28

potentially fit our investment criteria. Although such acquisitions or dispositions could present conflicts of interest, we nonetheless may pursue and consummate such transactions. Additionally, we may engage in transactions directly with our Manager or its affiliates, including the purchase and sale of all or a portion of a portfolio of assets. If we acquire a net leased property from CTO or one of its affiliates or sell a net leased property to CTO or one of its affiliates, the purchase price we pay to CTO or one of its affiliates or the purchase price paid to us by CTO or one of its affiliates may be higher or lower, respectively, than the purchase price that would have been paid to or by us if the transaction were the result of arm’s length negotiations with an unaffiliated third party.

In deciding whether to issue additional debt or equity securities, we will rely, in part, on recommendations made by our Manager. While such decisions are subject to the approval of the Board, our Manager is entitled to be paid a base management fee that is based on our “total equity” (as defined in the Management Agreement). As a result, our Manager may have an incentive to recommend that we issue additional equity securities at dilutive prices.

All of our executive officers are executive officers and employees of CTO. These individuals and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager devote as much time to us as our Manager deems appropriate. However, our executive officers and other CTO personnel provided to us through our Manager may have conflicts in allocating their time and services between us, on the one hand, and CTO and its affiliates, on the other. During a period of prolonged economic weakness or another economic downturn affecting the real estate industry or at other times when we need focused support and assistance from our Manager and the CTO executive officers and other personnel provided to us through our Manager, we may not receive the necessary support and assistance we require or that we would otherwise receive if we were self-managed.

Additionally, the ROFO Agreement does contain exceptions to CTO’s exclusivity for opportunities that include only an incidental interest in single-tenant, net leased properties. Accordingly, the ROFO Agreement will not prevent CTO from pursuing certain acquisition opportunities that otherwise satisfy our then-current investment criteria.

Our directors and executive officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our company. At the same time, PINE GP has fiduciary duties, as the general partner, to the Operating Partnership and to the limited partners under Delaware law in connection with the management of the Operating Partnership. These duties as a general partner to the Operating Partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and executive officers to us. Unless otherwise provided for in the relevant partnership agreement, Delaware law generally requires a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership to adhere to fiduciary duty standards under which it owes its limited partners the highest duties of loyalty and care and which generally prohibits such general partner from taking any action or engaging in any transaction as to which it has a conflict of interest. The partnership agreement provides that in the event of a conflict between the interests of our stockholders on the one hand and the limited partners of the Operating Partnership on the other hand, PINE GP will endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners; provided, however, that so long as we own a controlling interest in the Operating Partnership, any such conflict that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either our stockholders or the limited partners of the Operating Partnership shall be resolved in favor of our stockholders, and we shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the limited partners in connection with such decisions.

Revenue Sharing Agreement

On December 4, 2023, CTO entered into an asset management agreement directly with the borrower under the Mortgage Note (as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”) to manage the portfolio of assets secured by the Mortgage Note. The Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with CTO whereby the Company is expected to receive a share of the asset management fees, disposition management fees, leasing commissions, and other fees related to CTO’s management and administration of the portfolio (the “Revenue Sharing Agreement”). The Company’s share of the fees under the Revenue Sharing Agreement will be based on fees earned by CTO associated with the single tenant properties within the portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $0.1 million of revenue pursuant to the Revenue Sharing Agreement, which is included in other revenue on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). The words “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “forecast,” “project,” and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by management.

Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the strength of the real estate market; the impact of a prolonged recession or downturn in economic conditions; our ability to successfully execute acquisition or development strategies; credit risk associated with us investing in commercial loans and investments; any loss of key management personnel; changes in local, regional, national and global economic conditions affecting the real estate development business and properties, including unstable macroeconomic conditions due to, among other things, geopolitical conflicts, inflation, and rising interest rates; the impact of competitive real estate activity; the loss of any major property tenants; the ultimate geographic spread, severity and duration of pandemics, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain or address the impact of such pandemics, and the potential

negative impacts of such pandemics on the global economy and our financial condition and results of operations; and the availability of capital. These risks and uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further discussion of these risks, as well as additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the Company’s forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that conducts its operations so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of our operations are conducted through our Operating Partnership.

We seek to acquire, own and operate primarily freestanding, commercial retail real estate properties located in the United States primarily leased pursuant to long-term net leases. We target tenants in industries that we believe are favorably impacted by macroeconomic trends that support consumer spending, stable and growing employment, and positive consumer sentiment, as well as tenants in industries that have demonstrated resistance to the impact of the e-commerce retail sector or who use a physical presence as a component of their omnichannel strategy. We also seek to invest in properties that are net leased to tenants that we believe have attractive credit characteristics, stable operating histories, healthy rent coverage levels, are well-located within their respective markets and/or have rents at-or-below market rent levels. Furthermore, we believe that the size of our company allows us, for at least the near term, to focus our investment activities on the acquisition of single properties or smaller portfolios of properties that represent a transaction size that most of our publicly-traded net lease REIT peers will not pursue on a consistent basis.

Our strategy for investing in income-producing properties is focused on factors including, but not limited to, long-term real estate fundamentals, including those markets experiencing significant economic growth. We employ a methodology for evaluating targeted investments in income-producing properties which includes an evaluation of: (i) the attributes of the real estate (e.g., location, market demographics, comparable properties in the market, etc.); (ii) an evaluation of the existing tenant(s) (e.g., credit-worthiness, property level sales, tenant rent levels compared to the market, etc.); (iii) other market-specific conditions (e.g., tenant industry, job and population growth in the market, local economy, etc.); and (iv) considerations relating to the Company’s business and strategy (e.g., strategic fit of the asset type, property management needs, alignment with the Company’s structure, etc.).

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired one land parcel, for which the Company already owned the property leased to CVS in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a purchase price of $1.0 million. No properties were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, we owned 138 properties with an aggregate gross leasable area of 3.8 million square feet, located in 35 states, with a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.9 years. Our portfolio was 99% occupied as of March 31, 2024.

We may also acquire or originate commercial loans and investments associated with commercial real estate located in the United States. Our investments in commercial loans are generally secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in an entity that owns real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company originated one commercial loan with a total funding commitment of $7.2 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s commercial loan investments portfolio included three construction loans and one mortgage note with a total carrying value of $38.0 million.

32

The Company has no employees and is externally managed by Alpine Income Property Manager, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of CTO (our “Manager”). CTO is a Maryland corporation that is a publicly traded diversified REIT and the sole member of our Manager.

The following presents the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands):  

	Three Months Ended

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc.	$	(260)	$	3,339	$	(3,599)	(107.8%)

Lease Income and Real Estate Expenses

Revenue from our property operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, totaled $11.5 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The $0.3 million increase in lease income is primarily attributable to an increase in reimbursable revenue. The direct costs of revenues for our income properties totaled $1.9 million and $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $0.5 million increase in the direct cost of revenues is reflective of increased reimbursable expenses as well as a portion of portfolio expenses being non-recoverable pursuant to tenant leases.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from commercial loans and investments totaled $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income is attributable to three loans originated by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2023 as well as one loan originated during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no commercial loans and investments generating interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

33

Other Revenue

Other revenue totaled $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The revenue is attributable to fees earned from a revenue sharing agreement the Company entered into with CTO as further described in Note 18, “Related Party Management Company” in the Notes to the Financial Statements. There were no revenue sharing agreements generating income during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table represents the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023		$ Variance		% Variance
Management Fee to Manager	$	1,046	$	1,098	$	(52)	(4.7%)
Director Stock Compensation Expense		79		80		(1)	(1.3%)
Director & Officer Insurance Expense		53		62		(9)	(14.5%)
Additional General and Administrative Expense		364		275		89	32.4%
Total General and Administrative Expenses	$	1,542	$	1,515	$	27	1.8%

General and administrative expenses totaled $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The $0.1 million decrease in the management fee is attributable to a decrease in the Company’s equity base. The $0.1 million increase in additional general and administrative expenses is attributable to increased activity in states with franchise fees as well as an increase in audit and tax fees.

Provision for Impairment

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $0.03 million impairment charge representing the provision for losses related to our income properties as further described in Note 7, “Provision for Impairment”. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Depreciation and Amortization

       Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $6.4 million and $6.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $0.1 million increase in the depreciation and amortization expense is reflective of the increase in asset value of the Company's property portfolio.

Gain on Disposition of Assets

       During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company sold ten properties for an aggregate sales price of $56.2 million generating aggregate gains on sale of $4.5 million. The Company did not sell any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Investment and Other Income

Investment and other income totaled $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase is attributable to higher interest rates on bank deposits.

34

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $2.9 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $0.3 million increase in interest expense is attributable to the higher average outstanding debt balance during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss totaled $0.3 million and net income totaled $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The $4.0 million decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above, most notably the decrease in the gain on disposition of assets of $4.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash totaled $8.0 million as of March 31, 2024, including restricted cash of $2.8 million. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance as of March 31, 2024.

Long-Term Debt. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of $73.0 million on the $250 million revolving Credit Facility. The Company also had $200.0 million in term loans outstanding as of March 31, 2024. See Note 12, “Long-Term Debt” for the Company’s disclosure related to its long-term debt balance at March 31, 2024.

Acquisitions and Dispositions. As further described in Note 3, “Property Portfolio,” the Company acquired one land parcel, for which the Company already owned the property leased to CVS in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for a purchase price of $1.0 million. No properties were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

ATM Program. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not sell any shares under the 2022 ATM Program.

Capital Expenditures. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no commitments related to capital expenditures for the maintenance of fixed assets, such as land, buildings, and equipment. The Company is committed to fund three construction loans as described in Note 4, “Commercial Loans and Investments”. The unfunded portion of the construction loans totaled $6.5 million as of March 31, 2024.

We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, proceeds from the completion of the sale of assets utilizing the reverse like-kind 1031 exchange structure, $109.5 million of availability remaining under the 2022 ATM Program, and $177.0 million of available capacity on the existing $250.0 million Credit Facility.

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

35

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose FFO and AFFO, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

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

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude real estate related depreciation and amortization, as well as extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP) such as net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and impairments associated with the implementation of current expected credit losses on commercial loans and investments at the time of origination, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, straight-line rental revenue, amortization of deferred financing costs, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash income or expense. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

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

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease.  As required by GAAP, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The assumptions underlying the allocation of relative fair values are based on market information including, but not limited to: (i) the estimate of replacement cost of improvements under the cost approach, (ii) the estimate of land values based on comparable sales under the sales comparison approach, and (iii) the estimate of future benefits determined by either a reasonable rate of return over a single year’s net cash flow, or a forecast of net cash flows projected over a reasonable investment horizon under the income capitalization approach. The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainty and thus any changes to the allocation of fair value to each of the various line items within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets could have

37

an impact on the Company’s financial condition as well as results of operations due to resulting changes in depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value allocation. There were no acquisitions subject to this estimate for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13(a)-15 and 15(d)-15 of the Exchange Act was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth under the heading Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company.
