1.  Business and Organization

 

Business

 

Lightstone Value Plus REIT V, Inc. (“Lightstone REIT V,” which may also be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was organized as a Maryland corporation on January 9, 2007 and has elected to be taxed, and currently qualifies, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“U.S”). federal income tax purposes.

 

The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, the Company has focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment, or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines. Since its inception, the Company has acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, multifamily residential and student housing. The Company has purchased existing, income-producing properties, and newly-constructed properties. The Company has also invested in other real estate-related investments such as mortgage and mezzanine loans. The Company has made its investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the U.S. and other countries based on its view of existing market conditions.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through Lightstone REIT V OP LP, a limited partnership organized in Delaware (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, owned a 0.1% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as its sole general partner. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BHO Business Trust II, a Maryland business trust, was the sole limited partner of the Operating Partnership and owned the remaining 99.9% interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

All of the Company’s current investments are located in the U.S. The Company currently intends to hold its various real properties until such time as its board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve the Company’s investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met. The Company currently has one operating segment. As of March 31, 2025, the Company wholly owned and consolidated eight multifamily residential properties containing an aggregate of 2,480 apartment units.

 

The Company’s business is externally managed by LSG Development Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”), an affiliate of the Lightstone Group LLC (“Lightstone”), which provides advisory services to us. Lightstone is majority owned by David Lichtenstein, a member of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement and subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Company’s day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of its assets.

 

The Company has no employees. The Company is dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for performing a full range of services that are essential to it, including asset management, property management, property management oversight (for those of its properties which are managed by an unrelated third party property manager) and acquisition, disposition and financing activities, and other general administrative responsibilities; such as tax, accounting, legal, information technology and investor relations services. If the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide these services to the Company, it would be required to provide the services itself or obtain the services from other parties.

 

Organization

 

In connection with the Company’s initial capitalization, the Company issued 22,500 shares of its common stock (“Common Shares”) and 1,000 shares of its convertible stock to the Company’s former advisor on January 19, 2007. The 1,000 shares of convertible stock were transferred to an affiliate of Lightstone on February 10, 2017 and remain outstanding. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had 18.8 million Common Shares outstanding.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data and where indicated in millions)

 

The Company’s Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for the Company’s stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions and the Board of Directors’ assessment of the Company’s investment objectives and liquidity options for the Company’s stockholders. Although the Board of Directors has currently targeted June 30, 2028 for the potential commencement of a liquidity event, the Company can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of an actual liquidity event for its stockholders or the ultimate liquidation of the Company. Furthermore, the Company will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating its entire portfolio.

 

Current Environment

 

The Company’s operating results and financial condition are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, its business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility and banking failures, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws, ordinances and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, technological advances and challenges, such as the use and impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning, loss of key relationships, inflation, tariffs and recession.

 

The Company’s overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impacts on consumer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, increases in costs due to inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates, labor and supply chain challenges and other changes in economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s future results from operations and its financial condition.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2025.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lightstone REIT V, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements includes its accounts and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has control. All inter-company transactions, balances, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 included herein has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

 

The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or any other period.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Accordingly, net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.

Tax Status and Income Taxes

 

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2008. If the Company remains qualified as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its net taxable income that it distributes currently to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it annually distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. If the Company fails to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT in any subsequent year and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, its income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and it may be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT for the four-year period following its failure to qualify as a REIT. Such an event could materially adversely affect its net income and net cash available for distribution to its stockholders, if any. Additionally, even if the Company continues to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may still be subject to some U.S. federal, state and local taxes on its taxable income and property and to U.S. federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any.

 

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company may engage in certain activities through a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary. As such, the Company may be subject to U.S. federal and state income and franchise taxes from these activities.

 

The Company’s income tax expense and benefits are included in other income, net on its consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $111 and $60, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured levels. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

 

Segment Disclosure

 

The Company’s operations are reported within one reportable segment and constitutes all of the consolidated entities which are reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses entity-wide operating results and performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income/loss which is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The revenue, costs and expenses, and net income/loss for the reportable segment are the same as those presented on the consolidated statements of operations. Significant expense categories, including property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and interest, are included on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the  Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update, Income Taxes-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2025, noting that it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has reviewed and determined that other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, or do not apply to its current operations.

 

3. Real Estate Properties

 

The following table presents certain information about the Company’s wholly owned and consolidated multifamily real estate properties as of March 31, 2025:

 

Property Name  Location  Date Acquired  Number of Units

Disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments

 

On February 27, 2025, the Company completed the disposition of a 280-unit multifamily residential property located in Noblesville, Indiana (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments”) to an unrelated third party for a contractual sales price of $59.5 million. In connection with the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments, its non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments Mortgage”) of $28.8 million was fully defeased at a total cost of $28.1 million. The Company’s net proceeds from the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments were $30.5 million, after the aforementioned defeasance of the Autumn Breeze Apartments Mortgage, pro rations, and closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the disposition of Autumn Breeze Apartments, the Company recognized a gain on sale of investment property of $18.1 million during the first calendar quarter of 2025. 

 

In connection with the sale of the Autumn Breeze Apartments, the aforementioned net proceeds of $30.5 million were placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. These funds are included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. 

 

The disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the Autumn Breeze Apartments are reflected in the Company’s results from continuing operations for all periods presented through its date of disposition.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not recognized an allowance for expected credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities as the Company has not identified any unrealized losses for these investments attributable to credit factors. The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in debt securities was primarily caused by changes in market interest rates. The Company does not currently intend to sell these investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. 

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the Company’s investments in marketable debt securities with stated contractual maturity dates, accounted for as available-for-sale securities and classified by the contractual maturity date of the securities:

 

   As of March 31,
2025
 
Due in 1 year  $980 
Due in 1 year through 5 years   2,688 
Due in 5 years through 10 years   199 
Due after 10 years   - 
Total  $3,867 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company has entered into interest rate cap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of interest rate fluctuations associated with certain of its variable rate debt. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance is remote. 

 

The Company accounts for its interest rate cap contracts as economic hedges marking them to their fair value taking into account present market interest rates compared to the contractual fixed rate over the life of the contract. The changes in the fair value of these economic hedges represent unrealized gains or losses which are classified as mark to market adjustment on derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two interest rate cap contracts. The first interest rate cap contract, which was entered into at a cost of $1.1 million on July 8, 2024 with an effective date of July 15, 2024, has a notional amount of $52.2 million, matures on July 15, 2025 and effectively caps SOFR at 2.50% during its term. The second interest rate cap contract, which was entered into at a cost of $0.5 million on October 10, 2024 with an effective date of October 11, 2024, has a notional amount of $44.0 million, matures on October 11, 2025 and effectively caps SOFR at 3.00% during its term. 

 

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts was $0.6 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. 

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, representing the change in the fair values of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts during the indicated periods. 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the Company earned $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from its interest rate cap contracts. Earnings from interest rate cap contracts are recorded in interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. 

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 – 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 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The fair value of the Company’s investments in debt securities are measured using quoted prices for these investments; however, the markets for these assets are not active. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate cap contracts are measured using other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s debt securities and interest rate cap contracts were classified as Level 2 assets and there were no transfers between the level classifications during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, management estimated that the carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets (exclusive of interest rate cap contracts) and accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities were at amounts that reasonably approximated their fair value based on their highly-liquid nature and/or short-term maturities.

 

The fair values of the Company’s notes payable are categorized as a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the estimated borrowing rates available for loans with similar terms and maturities. The fair values of the notes payable were determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate. Disclosure about fair values of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

In connection with the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments on February 27, 2025, the Autumn Breeze Apartments Mortgage of $28.8 million was fully defeased at a total cost of $28.1 million. See Note 3.

 

Citadel Apartments Mortgages

 

On October 6, 2021, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan facility for up to $39.2 million (the “Citadel Apartments Senior Mortgage”). Simultaneously, on October 6, 2021, the Company also entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan facility for up to $9.8 million (the “Citadel Apartments Junior Mortgage” and together with the Citadel Apartments Senior Mortgage, the “Citadel Apartments Mortgages”). 

 

The Citadel Apartments Mortgages were initially scheduled to mature on October 11, 2024, and had two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Citadel Apartments Mortgages are both collateralized by a 293-unit multifamily residential property located in Houston, Texas (the “Citadel Apartments”), however, the Citadel Apartments Junior Mortgage is subordinate to the Citadel Apartments Senior Mortgage. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Citadel Apartments Mortgages, the Company was required to enter into one or more interest rate cap contracts in the aggregate notional amount of $49.0 million pursuant to which the SOFR rate was to be capped at 2.00% for as long as the Citadel Apartments Mortgages remain outstanding.

 

On September 26, 2024, the maturity dates of the Citadel Apartments Mortgages were both extended from October 11, 2024 to October 11, 2026. In connection with these extensions, the Company made an aggregate principal paydown of $5.0 million, which reduced the outstanding balances of the Citadel Apartments Senior Mortgage from $39.2 million to $35.2 million and the Citadel Apartments Junior Mortgage from $9.8 million to $8.8 million.  Additionally, the lender agreed to allow for the aggregate notional amount for the interest rate contracts to be reduced from $49.0 million to $44.0 million (as a result of the aggregate principal paydown of $5.0 million) and for SOFR to be capped at 3.00%, rather than 2.00%, through the maturity of the Citadel Apartments Mortgages.

 

The Company has maintained interest rate cap contracts pursuant to the requisite terms since the origination of the Citadel Apartments Mortgages. On October 10, 2024, the Company entered into a one-year term interest rate cap contract with an effective date of October 11, 2024, with an unrelated financial institution at a cost of $0.5 million. This interest rate cap contract replaced an interest rate cap contract that expired on October 11, 2024 but has a reduced notional amount of $44.0 million and effectively caps SOFR at 3.00% during its term. Upon the expiration of this interest rate cap contract, the Company would be required to purchase another interest rate cap contract at substantially similar terms provided the Citadel Apartments Mortgages remain outstanding.

 

BayVue Apartments Mortgage

 

On July 7, 2021, the Company entered into a non-recourse mortgage loan facility for up to $52.2 million (the “BayVue Apartments Mortgage”). The BayVue Apartments Mortgage, which initially was scheduled to mature on July 9, 2024, had two one-year extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, and is collateralized by a 368-unit multifamily residential property located in Tampa, Florida (the “BayVue Apartments”). On July 8, 2024, the Company exercised the first extension option to extend the maturity of the BayVue Apartments Mortgages to July 9, 2025.  

 

Pursuant to the terms of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage, the Company is required to enter into one or more interest rate cap contracts in the aggregate notional amount of $52.2 million pursuant to which SOFR is capped at 2.50% for as long as the BayVue Apartments Mortgage remains outstanding. The Company has maintained an interest rate cap contract pursuant to the requisite terms since the origination of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage. On July 8, 2024, the Company entered into a one-year interest rate cap contract with an effective date of July 15, 2024, with an unrelated financial institution at a cost of $1.1 million. This interest rate cap contract replaced an interest rate cap contract that expired on July 15, 2024, has a notional amount of $52.2 million and effectively caps SOFR at 2.50% during its term

 

As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance and remaining availability under the BayVue Apartments Mortgage was $47.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The remaining availability may be drawn for certain capital improvements to the property pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

Mortgage Debt Maturities

 

The following discussion relates to the Company’s current intentions with respect to its mortgage debt maturing over the next 12 months

 

The Company’s non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Parkside Apartments (the “Parkside Apartments Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $15.8 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on June 1, 2025. The Company currently intends to refinance the Parkside Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date.  

 

The Company’s BayVue Apartments Mortgage (outstanding principal balance of $47.4 million as of March 31, 2025) is currently scheduled to mature on July 9, 2025. The Company currently intends to refinance the BayVue Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date. However, if the Company is unable to refinance the BayVue Apartments Mortgage at favorable terms, it also has the ability to exercise the remaining one-year extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, in order to extend the maturity of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage to July 9, 2026. If the Company extends the maturity of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage pursuant to the remaining extension option, it will be required to enter into another interest rate cap contract at substantially similar terms as its current interest rate cap contract when it matures on July 15, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the BayVue Apartment Mortgage. 

 

The Company’s non-recourse mortgage loans collateralized by the Arbors Harbor Town (the “Arbors Harbor Town Mortgage” and the “Arbors Harbor Town Supplemental Mortgage” and collectively the “Arbors Mortgages”) (aggregate outstanding principal balances of $34.5 million as of March 31, 2025) are scheduled to mature on January 1, 2026. The Company currently intends to refinance the Arbors Mortgages on or before their scheduled maturity dates.  

 

The Company’s non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Axis at Westmont (the “Axis at Westmont Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $35.0 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on February 1, 2026. The Company currently intends to refinance the Axis at Westmont Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date.  

 

The Company’s non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Valley Ranch Apartments (the “Valley Ranch Apartments Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $43.4 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2026. The Company currently intends to refinance the Valley Ranch Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date.  

 

The Company does not currently expect any issues in extending or refinancing its maturing mortgage indebtedness at favorable terms. However, if the Company is unable to do so, it will consider repaying the then outstanding principal balances at their respective maturity dates with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales. The Company has no additional significant maturities of mortgage debt over the next 12 months.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Amended SRP

 

On November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted a Seventh Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended SRP”), which became effective on January 1, 2023. Under the terms of the Amended SRP, any stockholder may request redemption of their Common Shares, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. Additionally, under the terms of the Amended SRP, the Company will redeem Common Shares at 85% of its most recently published net asset value per Common Share, in effect as of the date the request for redemption is approved. 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended SRP, any Common Shares approved for redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined by the Board of Directors, generally expected to be shortly after the end of each calendar quarterly period. However, the Company will not redeem, during any calendar year, more than 5% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on last day of the previous calendar year (the “5% Limitation”). The cash available for redemption of Common Shares will be set by the Board of Directors not less often than annually (the “Funding Limitation” and, together with the 5% Limitation, the “Redemption Limitations”). The Board of Directors set the amount of cash available for redemption of Common Shares for the year ended December 31, 2024 at $8.0 million, which was generally allocated $2.0 million for each calendar quarterly period. The Company may change the amount of the Redemption Limitations upon 10 business days’ notice to its stockholders and will provide notice of any change to the Redemption Limitations by including such information in (a) a Current Report on Form 8-K or in its annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) a separate mailing to its stockholders. 

 

Redemption requests will be honored pro rata among all requests received subject to the Redemption Limitations and will not be honored on a first come, first served basis. 

 

The Board of Directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, subject to any notice requirements described in the Company’s Amended SRP, to (i) reject any request for redemption of Common Shares, (ii) change the purchase price for redemption of Common Shares, (iii) limit the funds to be used for redemption of Common Shares under the Amended SRP or otherwise change the Redemption Limitations, or (iv) amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the Amended SRP. 

 

On March 20, 2025, the Board of Directors determined it would consider the amount of cash available for redemption of Common Shares on a calendar quarterly basis throughout 2025. On the same date, the Board of Directors approved that an amount up to $2.0 million would be made available for consideration of redemption requests for the first calendar quarter of 2025. On May 8, 2025, the Board of Directors approved that an amount up to $2.0 million will be made available for consideration of redemption requests for the second calendar quarter of 2025.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 148,258 Common Shares, pursuant to its Amended SRP at a weighted average price per share of $13.49. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 152,207 Common Shares, pursuant to its Amended SRP at a weighted average price per share of $13.14.

 

Distributions

 

The Company did not make any distributions to its stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

7. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company’s business is externally managed by the Advisor, an affiliate of Lightstone, which provides advisory services to the Company and the Company has no employees. Lightstone is majority owned by David Lichtenstein, a member of the Board of Directors.

The Company has agreements with the Advisor and its affiliates to pay certain fees and reimburse certain expenses in connection with services performed and costs incurred by these entities and other related parties. The Company is dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for performing a full range of services that are essential to it, including asset management, property management, property management oversight (for those of its properties which are managed by an unrelated third-party property manager) and acquisition, disposition and financing activities, and other general administrative responsibilities; such as tax, accounting, legal, information technology and investor relations services. If the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide these services to it, the Company would be required to provide the services itself or obtain the services from another party or parties. 

 

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable annually upon the mutual consent of the Advisor and the Company’s independent directors.

 

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to the Advisor for the periods indicated:

Executive Overview

 

We were formed primarily to acquire and operate commercial real estate and real estate-related assets on an opportunistic and value-add basis. In particular, we have focused generally on acquiring commercial properties with significant possibilities for capital appreciation, such as those requiring development, redevelopment or repositioning, those located in markets and submarkets with high growth potential, and those available from sellers who were distressed or faced time-sensitive deadlines. In addition, our opportunistic and value-add investment strategy has included investments in real estate-related assets that present opportunities for higher current income. Since our inception, we have acquired a wide variety of commercial properties, including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, multifamily residential and student housing. We have purchased existing, income-producing properties and newly constructed properties. We have also invested in mortgage and mezzanine loans. We have made our investments in or in respect of real estate assets located in the U.S. and other countries based on our view of existing market conditions.

 

All of our current investments are located in the U.S. We currently intend to hold our various real estate properties until such time as our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) determines that a sale or other disposition appears to be advantageous to achieve our investment objectives or until it appears that the objectives will not be met.  We currently have one operating segment. As of March 31, 2025, we wholly owned and consolidated eight multifamily residential properties containing an aggregate 2,480 apartment units

 

Current Environment

 

Our operating results and financial condition are substantially impacted by the overall health of local, U.S. national and global economies and may be influenced by market and other challenges. Additionally, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic and other conditions; including, but not limited to, availability or terms of financings, financial markets volatility and banking failures, political upheaval or uncertainty, natural and man-made disasters, terrorism and acts of war, unfavorable changes in laws, ordinances and regulations, outbreaks of contagious diseases, cybercrime, technological advances and challenges, such as the use and impact of artificial learning and machine learning, loss of key relationships, inflation, tariffs and recession.

 

Our overall performance depends in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions and their impacts on consumer behavior. Worsening economic conditions, increases in costs due to inflation, tariffs, higher interest rates, labor and supply chain challenges, and other changes in economic conditions, could adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.1 million, marketable securities, available for sale of $3.9 million and restricted cash of $36.8 million, including $31.0 million which has been placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

 

Our principal demands for funds going forward are expected to be for the payment of (a) operating expenses, including capital expenditures, and (b) scheduled debt service on our outstanding indebtedness, including any required replacement interest rate cap contracts. We also may, at our discretion, use funds for (a) tender offers and/or redemptions of our Common Shares, (b) distributions, if any, to our shareholders, and (c) selective acquisitions and/or real estate-related investments. Generally, we expect to meet our cash needs with our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand along with our cash flow from operations, the release of certain funds held in restricted cash and the remaining availability of $4.8 million on one of our non-recourse mortgage loans (the “BayVue Apartments Mortgage”). 

 

However, to the extent that these sources are not sufficient to cover our cash needs, we may use proceeds from additional borrowings and/or selective asset sales to fund such needs.

  

Mortgage Debt Maturities

 

The following discussion relates to our current intentions with respect to our mortgage debt maturing over the next 12 months.

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Parkside Apartments (the “Parkside Apartments Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $15.8 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on June 1, 2025. We currently intend to refinance the Parkside Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date. 

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the BayVue Apartments (the “BayVue Apartments Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $47.4 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on July 9, 2025. We currently intend to refinance the BayVue Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date. However, if we are unable to refinance the BayVue Apartments Mortgage at favorable terms, we also have the ability to exercise the remaining one-year extension option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in order to extend the maturity of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage to July 9, 2026. If we extend the maturity of the BayVue Apartments Mortgage pursuant to the remaining extension option, we will be required to enter into another interest rate cap contract at substantially similar terms as our current interest rate cap contract when it matures on July 15, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the BayVue Apartment Mortgage. 

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loans collateralized by the Arbors Harbor Town (the “Arbors Harbor Town Mortgage” and the “Arbors Harbor Town Supplemental Mortgage” and collectively the “Arbors Harbor Town Mortgages”) (aggregate outstanding principal balances of $34.5 million as of March 31, 2025) are scheduled to mature on January 1, 2026. We currently intend to refinance the Arbors Harbor Town Mortgages on or before their scheduled maturity dates. 

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Axis at Westmont (the “Axis at Westmont Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $35.0 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on February 1, 2026. We currently intend to refinance the Axis at Westmont Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date. 

 

Our non-recourse mortgage loan collateralized by the Valley Ranch Apartments (the “Valley Ranch Apartments Mortgage”) (outstanding principal balance of $43.4 million as of March 31, 2025) is scheduled to mature on March 1, 2026. We currently intend to refinance the Valley Ranch Apartments Mortgage on or before its scheduled maturity date. 

 

We do not currently expect any issues in extending or refinancing our maturing mortgage indebtedness at favorable terms. However, if we are unable to do so, we will consider repaying the then outstanding principal balances at their respective maturity dates with available cash and/or proceeds from selective asset sales. We have no additional significant maturities of mortgage debt over the next 12 months.

We have borrowed money to acquire properties and make other investments. Under our charter, the maximum amount of our indebtedness is limited to 300% of our “net assets” (as defined by our charter) as of the date of any borrowing; however, we may exceed that limit if approved by a majority of our independent directors. In addition to our charter limitation, our Board of Directors has adopted a policy to generally limit our borrowings to 75% of the value of our assets unless substantial justification exists that borrowing a greater amount is in our best interests. Our policy limitation, however, does not apply to individual real estate assets.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of U.S. federally insured levels. We regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions and believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents or restricted cash.

 

Recent Acquisition and Disposition Activities

 

Acquisition of the Discovery at Space Coast Apartments - December 2024

 

On December 19, 2024, we acquired a 240-unit multifamily residential property located in Rockledge, Florida (the “Discovery at Space Coast Apartments”) from an unrelated third party for a contractual purchase price of $63.8 million, plus closing and other acquisition related costs totaling $1.7 million. The acquisition was funded with $43.7 million of proceeds from a mortgage financing (the “Discovery at Space Coast Apartments Mortgage”) and $21.8 million of cash on hand. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of the Discovery at Space Coast Apartments, the Advisor received an aggregate of $1.6 million in acquisition fees, acquisition expense reimbursements and debt financing fees.

 

Disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments – February 2025

 

On February 27, 2025, we completed the disposition of a 280-unit multifamily residential property located in Noblesville, Indiana (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments”) to an unrelated third-party for a contractual sales price of $59.5 million. In connection with the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments, its non-recourse mortgage loan (the “Autumn Breeze Apartments Mortgage”) of $28.8 million was fully defeased at a total cost of $28.1 million. Our net proceeds from the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments were $30.5 million, after the aforementioned defeasance of the Autumn Breeze Apartments Mortgage, pro rations, and closing and other related transaction costs. In connection with the disposition of Autumn Breeze Apartments, we recognized a gain on sale of investment property of $18.1 million during the first calendar quarter of 2025. 

 

In connection with the sale of the Autumn Breeze Apartments, the aforementioned net proceeds of $30.5 million were placed in escrow with a qualified intermediary in order to facilitate potential like-kind exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. These funds are included in restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. 

 

The disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments did not qualify to be reported as discontinued operations since it did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the operating results of the Autumn Breeze Apartments are reflected in our results from continuing operations for all periods presented through its date of disposition.

Revenues Rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $13.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2024. Excluding the effect of our recent acquisition and disposition activities discussed above, our rental revenues increased by $0.2 million for our Same Store properties during the 2025 period. This increase was primarily as a result of higher occupancy for most of our Same Store properties during the 2025 period.

 

Property Operating Expenses Property operating expenses were $4.4 million, an increase of $0.5 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2024. Excluding the effect of our recent acquisition and disposition activities discussed above, our property operating expenses increased slightly by $0.1 million for our Same Store properties during the 2025 period.

 

Real Estate Taxes Real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $1.9 million, a slight increase of $0.1 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2024.

 

General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million, a slight increase of $0.1 million, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2024.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $4.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2024. Excluding the effect of our recent acquisition and disposition activities discussed above, our depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.2 million for our Same Store properties during the 2025 period.

 

Interest Expense, Net Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $4.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2024. Interest expense is primarily attributable to mortgage financings associated with our multifamily residential properties and reflects both changes in market interest rates on our variable rate indebtedness and the weighted average principal outstanding during the periods. Excluding the effect of our recent acquisition and disposition activities discussed above, interest expense, net for our Same Store properties decreased slightly by $0.1 million during the 2025 period. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the interest rate cap contracts which is recorded in interest expense, net.

Gain on Sale of Investment Property   In connection with the sale of the Autumn Breeze Apartments on February 27, 2025, we recognized a gain on sale of investment property of $18.1 million during the first calendar quarter of 2025.

 

Mark to Market Adjustment on Derivative Financial Instruments During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded negative mark to market adjustment of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These mark to market adjustments represented the change in the fair value of our interest rate cap contracts during the applicable period.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Our business is externally managed by the Advisor, an affiliate of Lightstone, which provides advisory services to us and we have no employees. Lightstone is majority owned by David Lichtenstein, a member of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of an advisory agreement and subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors, the Advisor is responsible for managing our day-to-day affairs and for services related to the management of our assets.

 

We have agreements with the Advisor and its affiliates to pay certain fees and reimburse certain expenses in connection with services performed and costs incurred by these entities and other related parties. We are dependent on the Advisor and its affiliates for performing a full range of services that are essential to us, including asset management, property management, property management oversight (for those properties which are managed by an unrelated third-party property manager) and acquisition, disposition and financing activities, and other general administrative responsibilities; such as tax, accounting, legal, information technology and investor relations services. If the Advisor and its affiliates are unable to provide these services to us, we would be required to provide the services ourselves or obtain the services from another party or parties.

 

The advisory agreement has a one-year term and is renewable annually upon the mutual consent of our Advisor and our independent directors.

 

The following table represents the fees incurred associated with the payments to our Advisor for the periods indicated:

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2025   2024 
Property management oversight fees (property operating expenses)  $132   $132 
Administrative services reimbursement (general and administrative costs)   404    391

The net cash provided by investing activities of $58.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of the following:

 

  capital expenditures of $0.6 million; and
  proceeds from the disposition of the Autumn Breeze Apartments of $59.2 million.

Table of Contents 

 

Financing activities

 

The net cash used in financing activities of $30.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of the following:

 

  principal payments on notes payable of $28.6 million; and
  redemptions and cancellation of common stock of $2.0 million;

 

Debt Financings 

 

From time to time, we have obtained mortgage, bridge, or mezzanine loans for acquisitions and investments, as well as property development, redevelopment and renovations. In the future, we may obtain new financings for such activities or to refinance our existing real estate assets, depending on multiple factors. 

 

Our notes payable balance was $294.5 million, net of deferred financing fees of $3.2 million, and had a weighted average interest rate of 5.69% as of March 31, 2025. Our notes payable balance was $323.2 million, net of deferred financing fees of $3.8 million, and had a weighted average interest rate of 4.98% as of December 31, 2024. 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

We have entered into interest rate cap contracts with unrelated financial institutions in order to reduce the effect of increases to interest rates associated with certain of our variable rate debt. We are exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to these financial instruments. Management believes the risk of loss due to non-performance is remote.

 

We account for our interest rate cap contracts as economic hedges marking them to their fair market value taking into account present market interest rates compared to the contractual fixed rate over the life of the contract. The changes in the fair value of these economic hedges represent unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate cap contracts which are classified as mark to market adjustment on derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Pursuant to the terms of our BayVue Apartments Mortgage and our Citadel Apartments Mortgages, we are required to enter into one or more interest rate cap contracts at certain prescribed notional amounts capping SOFR at certain prescribed rates for as long as these mortgages remain outstanding.

 

As of March 31, 2025, we had two interest rate cap contracts. The first interest rate cap contract, which was entered into at a cost of $1.1 million on July 8, 2024 with an effective date of July 15, 2024, has a notional amount of $52.2 million, matures on July 15, 2025 and effectively caps SOFR at 2.50% during its term. The second interest rate cap contract, which was entered into at a cost of $0.5 million on October 10, 2024 with an effective date of October 11, 2024, has a notional amount of $44.0 million, matures on October 11, 2025 and effectively caps SOFR at 3.00% during its term.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

One of our principal short-term and long-term liquidity requirements includes the refinancing or repayment of our maturing mortgage debt. The following table provides information with respect to the contractual maturities and scheduled debt service payments of our mortgage indebtedness as of March 31, 2025:

 

Contractual Obligations  2025   2026   2027   2028   2029   Thereafter   Total 
Principal Maturities  $63,845   $156,252   $-   $494   $573   $76,580   $297,744 
Interest Payments(1)   10,938    8,439    4,563    4,562    4,689    -    33,191 
                                    
Total Contractual Obligations  $74,783   $164,691   $4,563   $5,056   $5,262   $76,580   $330,935 

 

(1)These amounts represent future interest payments related to notes payable obligations based on the fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated debt agreement. All variable rate debt agreements are based on the one-month SOFR rate. For purposes of calculating future interest amounts on variable interest rate debt, the one-month SOFR rate as of March 31, 2025 was used.

 

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants.

Amended SRP

 

On November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors adopted a Seventh Amended and Restated Share Redemption Program (the “Amended SRP”), which became effective on January 1, 2023. Under the terms of the Amended SRP, any stockholder may request redemption of their Common Shares, subject to the significant conditions and limitations of the program. Additionally, under the terms of the Amended SRP, we will redeem Common Shares at 85% of our most recently published NAV per Share, in effect as of the date the request for redemption is approved.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended SRP, any Common Shares approved for redemption are redeemed on a periodic basis as determined by the Board of Directors, generally expected to be shortly after the end of each calendar quarterly period. However, we will not redeem, during any calendar year, more than 5% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on last day of the previous calendar year (the “5% Limitation”). The cash available for redemption of Common Shares will be set by the Board of Directors not less often than annually (the “Funding Limitation” and, together with the 5% Limitation, the “Redemption Limitations”). The Board of Directors set the amount of cash available for redemption of Common Shares for the year ended December 31, 2024 at $8.0 million, which was generally allocated $2.0 million for each calendar quarterly period. We may change the amount of the Redemption Limitations upon 10 business days’ notice to our stockholders and will provide notice of any change to the Redemption Limitations by including such information in (a) a Current Report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) a separate mailing to our stockholders.

 

Redemption requests will be honored pro rata among all requests received subject to the Redemption Limitations and will not be honored on a first come, first served basis.

 

The Board of Directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, subject to any notice requirements described in our Amended SRP, to (i) reject any request for redemption of Common Shares, (ii) change the purchase price for redemption of Common Shares, (iii) limit the funds to be used for redemption of Common Shares under the Amended SRP or otherwise change the Redemption Limitations, or (iv) amend, suspend (in whole or in part) or terminate the Amended SRP.

 

On March 20, 2025, the Board of Directors determined it would consider the amount of cash available for redemption of Common Shares on a calendar quarterly basis throughout 2025. On the same date, the Board of Directors approved that an amount up to $2.0 million would be made available for consideration of redemption requests for the first calendar quarter of 2025. On May 8, 2025, the Board of Directors approved that an amount up to $2.0 million will be made available for consideration of redemption requests for the second calendar quarter of 2025.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 148,258 Common Shares, pursuant to its Amended SRP at a weighted average price per share of $13.49. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 152,207 Common Shares, pursuant to our Amended SRP at a weighted average price per share of $13.14.

 

Distributions

 

We made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2008. U.S. federal tax law requires a REIT to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In order to continue to qualify for REIT status, we may be required to make distributions in excess of cash available. Distributions, if any, are authorized at the discretion of our Board of Directors based on their analysis of our performance over the previous periods and expectations of performance for future periods. Such analyses may include actual and anticipated operating cash flow, capital expenditure needs, general financial and market conditions, proceeds from asset sales and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Our Board of Directors’ decisions will be substantially influenced by the intention to maintain our federal tax status as a REIT. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will pay distributions at any particular level, or at all.

 

We did not make any distributions to our stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations

 

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements and straight-line amortization of intangibles, which implies that the value of a real estate asset diminishes predictably over time. We believe that, because real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including, but not limited to, inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using the historical accounting convention for depreciation and certain other items may be less informative. 

 

Because of these factors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), an industry trade group, has published a standardized measure of performance known as funds from operations (“FFO”), which is used in the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. We believe FFO, which excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, is an appropriate supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. FFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). 

 

We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established over time by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as restated in a White Paper approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT effective in December 2018 (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Our FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s definition. 

 

We believe that the use of FFO provides a more complete understanding of our performance to investors and to management and reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income.

 

Changes in the accounting and reporting promulgations under GAAP that were put into effect in 2009 subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO, such as the change to expense as incurred rather than capitalize and depreciate acquisition fees and expenses incurred for business combinations, have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses, as items that are expensed under GAAP across all industries. These changes had a particularly significant impact on publicly registered, non-listed REITs, which typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity in the early part of their existence, particularly during the period when they are raising capital through ongoing initial public offerings. 

 

Because of these factors, the Investment Program Association (the “IPA”), an industry trade group, published a standardized measure of performance known as modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-listed REITs. MFFO is designed to be reflective of the ongoing operating performance of publicly registered, non-listed REITs by adjusting for those costs that are more reflective of acquisitions and investment activity, along with other items the IPA believes are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT, such as straight-lining of rents as required by GAAP. We believe it is appropriate to use MFFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance because we believe that both before and after we have deployed all of our offering proceeds and are no longer incurring a significant amount of acquisition fees or other related costs, it reflects the impact on our operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income. MFFO is not equivalent to our net income or loss as determined under GAAP. 

 

We define MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds from Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses and other items. In calculating MFFO, we follow the Practice Guideline and exclude acquisition and transaction-related fees and expenses (which includes costs incurred in connection with strategic alternatives), amounts relating to deferred rent receivables and amortization of market lease and other intangibles, net (which are adjusted in order to reflect such payments from a GAAP accrual basis to a cash basis of disclosing the rent and lease payments), accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments and borrowings, mark-to-market adjustments included in net income (including gains or losses incurred on assets held for sale), gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis.

We believe that, because MFFO excludes costs that we consider more reflective of acquisition activities and other non-operating items, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of our operating performance after the period in which we are acquiring properties and once our portfolio is stabilized. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the non-listed REIT industry and allows for an evaluation of our performance against other publicly registered, non-listed REITs. 

 

Not all REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, calculate FFO and MFFO the same way. Accordingly, comparisons with other REITs, including publicly registered, non-listed REITs, may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as determined under GAAP as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of our liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other GAAP measurements as an indication of our performance. FFO and MFFO should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income or in its applicability in evaluating our operating performance. The methods utilized to evaluate the performance of a publicly registered, non-listed REIT under GAAP should be construed as more relevant measures of operational performance and considered more prominently than the non-GAAP measures, FFO and MFFO, and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO. 

 

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, the IPA nor any other regulatory body or industry trade group has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that we use to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, NAREIT, the IPA or another industry trade group may publish updates to the White Paper or the Practice Guidelines or the SEC or another regulatory body could standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-listed REIT industry, and we would have to adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO accordingly. 

 

Our calculations of FFO and MFFO are presented below:

 

   For the Three Months Ended

Description  2025   2024 
Net income/(loss)  $15,002   $(2,505)

FFO per common share, basic and diluted  $0.06   $0.07 
           
Weighted average number of Common Shares outstanding, basic and diluted   18,836    19,444 

 

 

1)Management believes that adjusting for mark-to-market adjustments is appropriate because they are nonrecurring items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations and reflects unrealized impacts on value based only on then current market conditions, although they may be based upon current operational issues related to an individual property or industry or general market conditions. Mark-to-market adjustments are made for items such as ineffective derivative instruments, certain marketable equity securities and any other items that GAAP requires we make a mark-to-market adjustment for. The need to reflect mark-to-market adjustments is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly and/or annual basis in accordance with GAAP.
2)Management believes that adjusting for gains or losses related to extinguishment/sale of debt, derivatives or securities holdings is appropriate because they are items that may not be reflective of ongoing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.  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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates, including impairment of investment property and depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed significantly from the discussion found in the Management Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the US. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 27, 2025.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2025, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) using the criteria established in Internal Control-New Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of March 31, 2025, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in this report is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during  our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims or disputes.

 

As of the date hereof, we are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, which would require accrual or disclosure of the contingency and possible range of loss. Additionally, we have not recorded any loss contingencies related to legal proceedings in which the potential loss is deemed to be remote.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

During the period covered by this quarterly report, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Our Common Shares are not currently listed on a national securities exchange. The timing of a liquidity event for our stockholders will depend upon then prevailing market conditions and the Board of Directors’ assessment of our investment objectives and liquidity options for our stockholders. Although the Board of Directors has currently targeted June 30, 2028 for the potential commencement of a liquidity event, we can provide no assurances as to the actual timing of the commencement of an actual liquidity event for our stockholders or our ultimate liquidation. Furthermore, we will seek stockholder approval prior to liquidating our entire portfolio.
