MARCH 31, 2023

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

One Liberty Properties, Inc. (“OLP”) was incorporated in 1982 in Maryland. OLP is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). OLP acquires, owns and manages a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial and retail properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of March 31, 2023, OLP owns 119 properties, including three properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and three properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures. The 119 properties are located in 31 states.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in OLP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of OLP, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, its joint ventures in which the Company, as defined, has a controlling interest, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. OLP and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as the “Company”. Material intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Real Estate

In acquiring real estate, the Company evaluates whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, and if that requirement is met, the asset group is accounted for as an asset acquisition and not a business combination. Transaction costs incurred with such asset acquisitions are capitalized to real estate assets and depreciated over the respectful useful lives.

The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate, including direct transaction costs applicable to an asset acquisition, among land, building, improvements and intangibles (e.g., the value of above, below and at-market leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases and above or below-market mortgages assumed at the acquisition date). The value, as determined, is allocated to the gross assets acquired based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets and liabilities.

The Company assesses the fair value of the gross assets acquired based on available market information which utilize estimated cash flow projections; such inputs are categorized as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In determining fair value, factors considered by management include an evaluation of current market demand, market capitalization rates and discount rates, estimates of carrying costs (e.g., real estate taxes, insurance, other operating expenses), and lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Investment in Joint Ventures and Variable Interest Entities

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, provides guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the party that (i) has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits, of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company assesses the accounting treatment for each of its investments, including a review of each venture or limited liability company or partnership agreement, to determine the rights of each party and whether those rights are protective or participating. The agreements typically contain certain protective rights, such as the requirement of partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan. In situations where, among other things, the Company and its partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) prepare or review and approve the joint venture’s tax return before filing, or (iv) approve each lease at a property, the Company does not consolidate as the Company considers these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture or property. Additionally, the Company assesses the accounting treatment for any interests pursuant to which the Company may have a variable interest as a lessor. Leases may contain certain protective rights, such as the right of sale and the receipt of certain escrow deposits.

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are VIEs. In addition, the Company shares power with its co-managing members over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. None of the joint venture debt is recourse to the Company, subject to standard carve-outs.

The Company has elected to follow the cumulative earnings approach when assessing, for the consolidated statement of cash flows, whether the distribution from the investee is a return of the investor’s investment as compared to a return on its investment. The source of the cash generated by the investee to fund the distribution is not a factor in the analysis (that is, it does not matter whether the cash was generated through investee refinancing, sale of assets or operating results). Consequently, the investor only considers the relationship between the cash received from the investee to its equity in the undistributed earnings of the investee, on a cumulative basis, in assessing whether the distribution from the investee is a return on or a return of its investment. Cash received from the unconsolidated entity is presumed to be a return on the investment to the extent that, on a cumulative basis, distributions received by the investor are less than its share of the equity in the undistributed earnings of the entity.

NOTE 3 – LEASES

Lessor Accounting

The Company owns rental properties which are leased to tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2023 to 2055, with options to extend or terminate the lease. Revenues from such leases are reported as Rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed and variable lease payments and (ii) non-lease components which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and account for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.

Fixed lease revenues represent the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases, and any lease incentives paid or payable to the lessee, reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Variable lease revenues typically include payments based on (i) tenant reimbursements, (ii) changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, (iii) percentage rents and (iv) the operating performance of the property. Variable lease revenues are not recognized until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred.

The components of lease revenues are as follows (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2023		2022
Fixed lease revenues	$	19,358	$	18,341
Variable lease revenues		3,370		3,001
Lease revenues (a)	$	22,728	$	21,342

(a)	Excludes $224 and $189 of amortization related to lease intangible assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In many of the Company’s leases, the tenant is obligated to pay the real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other expenses directly to the vendor. These obligations, which have been assumed by the tenants, are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. To the extent any such tenant defaults on its lease or if it is deemed probable that the tenant will fail to pay for such obligations, a liability for such obligations would be recorded.

On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the collectability of substantially all lease payments due by reviewing the tenant’s payment history or financial condition. Changes to collectability are recognized as a current period adjustment to rental revenue. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has assessed the collectability of all recorded lease revenues as probable.

Minimum Future Rents

As of March 31, 2023, the minimum future contractual rents to be received on non-cancellable operating leases are included in the table below (amounts in thousands). The minimum future contractual rents include $21,017,000 of rent related to Regal Cinemas (two leases which expire in 2032 and 2035) and does not include (i) straight-line rent or amortization of intangibles and (ii) $301,000 of COVID-19 lease deferral repayments due from Regal Cinemas which were not accrued to rental income and (iii) variable lease payments as described above.

Property Held-for-Sale

In August 2022, the Company entered into a contract to sell a retail property located in Duluth, Georgia for $6,000,000. The buyer’s right to terminate the contract without penalty expired on March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2023, the Company classified the $2,783,000 net book value of the property’s land, building and improvements as Property held-for-sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. It is anticipated that (i) this property will be sold during the second quarter of 2023 and (ii) this sale will result in a gain of approximately $3,100,000, which will be recognized as Gain on sale of real estate, net, in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ending June 30, 2023.

NOTE 5 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, CONTINGENT LIABILITY AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

Variable Interest Entity – Ground Lease

The Company determined it has a variable interest through its ground lease at its Beachwood, Ohio property (the “Vue Apartments”) and the owner/operator is a VIE because its equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because the Company does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the owner/operator’s economic performance and therefore, does not consolidate this VIE for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, the Company accounts for this investment as land and the revenues from the ground lease as Rental income, net. The ground lease provides for rent which can be deferred and paid based on the operating performance of the property; therefore, this rent is recognized as rental income when the operating performance is achieved and the rent is received. No ground lease rental income has been collected since October 2020 other than the proceeds from the settlement of the Proceedings (as defined below).

As of March 31, 2023, the VIE’s maximum exposure to loss was $16,791,000 which represented the carrying amount of the land. In purchasing the property in 2016, the owner/operator obtained a mortgage for $67,444,000 from a third party which, together with the Company’s purchase of the land, provided substantially all of the funds to acquire the multi-family property. The Company provided its land as collateral for the owner/operator’s mortgage loan; accordingly, the land position is subordinated to the mortgage. The mortgage balance was $64,500,000 as of March 31, 2023.

Pursuant to the ground lease, as amended in November 2020, the Company agreed, in its discretion, to fund 78% of (i) any operating expense shortfalls at the property and (ii) any capital expenditures required at the property. The Company funded $697,000 during the year ended December 31, 2022 and $447,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. These amounts are included as part of the carrying amount of the land.

The Company’s ground lease tenant was a plaintiff/claimant in various legal proceedings (the “Proceedings”) against, among others, the developer of such apartment complex alleging, among other things, that the buildings’ construction was flawed. The Proceedings were settled in the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and although the Company was not a party to the Proceedings, pursuant to the lease with the tenant, the Company received, in early January 2023, $4,626,000 from the settlement. At December 31, 2022, this sum was accrued as rental income, net on the consolidated statement of income and as other receivables on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 5 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, CONTINGENT LIABILITY AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES (CONTINUED)

Variable Interest Entities – Consolidated Joint Ventures

The Company has determined the three consolidated joint ventures in which it holds between a 90% to 95% interest are VIEs because the non-controlling interests do not hold substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each joint venture’s performance including management, approval of expenditures, and the obligation to absorb the losses or rights to receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the operations of these VIEs for financial statement purposes. The VIEs’ creditors do not have recourse to the assets of the Company other than those held by the applicable joint venture.

The following is a summary of the consolidated VIEs’ carrying amounts and classification in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, none of which are restricted (amounts in thousands):

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, MCB Real Estate, LLC and its affiliates (‘‘MCB’’) are the Company’s joint venture partner in two consolidated joint ventures in which the Company has aggregate equity investments of approximately $4,532,000 and $4,563,000, respectively.

Distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and, in the event of a sale of, or refinancing of the mortgage encumbering, the property owned by such venture, the distributions to the Company may be less than that implied by the Company’s equity ownership interest in the venture.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company participated in three unconsolidated joint ventures, each of which owns and operates one property; the Company’s equity investment in these ventures totaled $10,484,000 and $10,400,000, respectively. The Company recorded equity in earnings of $85,000 and $116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, MCB and the Company are partners in an unconsolidated joint venture in which the Company’s equity investment is approximately $9,030,000 and $8,963,000, respectively.

NOTE 9 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income allocable to common stockholders for each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. As of March 31, 2023, the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs (see Note 10) are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as these units are not participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other rights exercisable for, or convertible into, common stock were exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the Company.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of earnings per share calculations (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s 2022, 2019 and 2016 Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Plans”), permit the Company to grant, among other things, stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights and any one or more of the foregoing to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. A maximum of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was authorized for issuance pursuant to each plan at such plan’s inception.

The following details the shares subject to awards that are outstanding under the Plans as of March 31, 2023:

Totals	238,305	593,101	140,200

(a)	No additional awards may be granted under such plan.

For accounting purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they vest; however, dividends are paid on the unvested shares. The restricted stock grants are charged to General and administrative expense over the respective vesting periods based on the market value of the common stock on the grant date. Unless earlier forfeited because the participant’s relationship with the Company terminated, unvested restricted stock awards vest five years from the grant date, and under certain circumstances may vest earlier.

The following table reflects the activities involving RSUs during the indicated years:


	2022	2021	2020
RSUs granted and outstanding (a) (b)	85,350	80,700	75,026
Vesting Date (c) (d)	6/30/2025	6/30/2024	6/30/2023

(a)	The shares underlying the RSUs are excluded from the shares shown as outstanding on the balance sheet until they have vested and been issued.

(b)	No shares were granted, vested or forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

(c)	Generally, the recipient must maintain a relationship with the Company during the applicable three-year performance cycle.

(d)

RSUs vest upon satisfaction of metrics related to average annual total stockholder return ("TSR Metric") and average annual return on capital ("ROC Metric"; together with the TSR Metric, the "Metrics") and are issued to the extent the Compensation Committee determines that the Metrics with respect to the vesting of such shares have been satisfied.

The specific metrics and other material terms and conditions of the RSUs are as follows:


			Performance Criteria (a)
Year RSU Granted	Metric	Weight	Minimum	Maximum
2020 (b)	ROC Metric (c)	50%	Average annual of at least 7.0%	Average annual of at least 9.75%
	TSR Metric (d)	50%	Average annual of at least 7.0%	Average annual of at least 12.0%
2021 - 2022 (e) (f)	ROC Metric (c)	50%	Average annual of at least 6.0%	Average annual of at least 8.75%
	TSR Metric (d)	50%	Average annual of at least 6.0%	Average annual of at least 11.0%

(a)	If the average annual ROC or TSR falls between the applicable minimum and maximum performance criteria, a pro-rata portion of such units, as applicable, vest.

(b)	Such RSUs are not entitled to voting or dividend rights.

(c)	The ROC Metrics meet the definition of a performance condition. Fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. For ROC Awards, the Company does not recognize expense when performance conditions are not expected to be met; such performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly.

(d)	The TSR Metrics meet the definition of a market condition. A third-party appraiser prepares a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of such awards.

(e)	Such RSUs are (i) not entitled to voting rights and (ii) upon vesting, the holders receive an amount equal to the dividends that would have been paid on the underlying shares had such shares been outstanding during the three-year performance cycle.

(f)	As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company accrued dividend equivalents of $264,000 and $210,000, respectively, for the 2022 and 2021 RSUs based on the number of shares that would have been issued, underlying such RSUs, using performance and market assumptions determined at such dates.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company measures the fair value of financial instruments based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, escrow, deposits and other assets and receivables, dividends payable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities (excluding interest rate swaps), are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are considered to be recorded at amounts that approximate fair value.

The fair value and carrying amounts of the Company’s mortgages payable are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(a)	Estimated using unobservable inputs such as available market information and discounted cash flow analysis based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. These fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Company’s line of credit (before unamortized deferred financing costs) of $11,500,000 and $21,800,000, respectively, approximates its fair value.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had in effect 17 interest rate derivatives, all of which were interest rate swaps, related to 17 outstanding mortgage loans with an aggregate $48,720,000 notional amount maturing between 2023 and 2026 (weighted average remaining term to maturity of 1.4 years). The Company’s objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense. These interest rate swaps, all of which were designated as cash flow hedges, converted LIBOR or SOFR based variable rate mortgages to fixed annual rate mortgages (with interest rates ranging from 3.02% to 4.62% and a weighted average interest rate of 4.07% at March 31, 2023). The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This fair value analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the associated credit valuation adjustments use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has assessed and determined the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions is not significant. As a result, the Company determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis and that are classified as Level 1 or 3.

During the twelve months ending March 31, 2024, the Company estimates an additional $1,035,000 will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income as a decrease to Interest expense.

The derivative agreements in effect at March 31, 2023 provide that if the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is a party to such agreement defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then a default can be declared on such subsidiary’s derivative obligation. In addition, the Company is a party to the derivative agreements and if there is a default by the subsidiary on the loan subject to the derivative agreement to which the Company is a party and if there are swap breakage losses on account of the derivative being terminated early, the Company could be held liable for such swap breakage losses.

NOTE 12 – OTHER INCOME

Insurance Recovery on Hurricane Casualty

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain on insurance recovery of $918,000, which is included in Other income on the consolidated statement of income, related to hurricane damage to one of its properties in 2020. No such gain was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NOTE 13 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. In 2022, the Company transitioned two loans and the related derivatives away from LIBOR to a new reference rate, SOFR. The Company elected to apply several practical expedients related to these changes in the terms of the hedged forecasted transactions and changes in the terms of the hedging instruments. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company may apply other elections, as applicable, as additional changes in the market occur. The Company continues to evaluate the new guidance to determine the extent to which it may impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Challenges and Uncertainties Facing Certain Tenants and Properties

As more fully described in our Annual Report, and in particular, the sections thereof entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, we face challenges due to the volatile economic environment and certain of our properties and tenants (including Regal Cinemas, our Manahawkin, New Jersey property, The Vue Apartments, LA Fitness, Bed Bath and Beyond and Party City) face various challenges. There have been no material changes to the status of such tenants/properties from that described in our Annual Report except as described below:

Regal Cinemas

Regal Cinemas, or Regal, is a tenant at three properties, including a property owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which we have a 50% equity interest. Regal’s parent, Cineworld Group plc, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2022. At March 31, 2023, Regal is obligated to pay us (and with respect to the unconsolidated joint venture, our 50% share of), (i) during the nine months ending December 31, 2023, $1.6 million, including $341,000 of COVID-19 rent deferral repayments, and (ii) from January 1, 2024 through 2035, an aggregate of $21.7 million of base rent (collectively, the “Obligated Amount”). Through March 31, 2023, we collected an aggregate of (i) $808,000 representing 100% of the base rent and deferred rent due through March 2023 and (ii) $67,000 representing 24.9% of the base rent and deferred rents due in September 2022. (Because the collection of amounts owed by Regal is deemed to be less than probable, we have not accrued Regal’s base rent or deferred rent and since October 2020, have been reporting same on a cash basis). We and Regal are discussing significant modifications to the terms of these leases, including the cancellation of deferred rent, the reduction of base rent, the application of payments made subsequent to the bankruptcy filing toward future rent obligations, and shortened lease terms. We anticipate that the amounts we collect will be significantly reduced from the Obligated Amount and there is uncertainty as to whether we will be required to take an impairment with respect to these properties. We can provide no assurance that we will reach an agreement with Regal and that even if an agreement is reached, that it will be approved by any third parties, such as the bankruptcy court, whose approvals are required. If an agreement is not reached or third party approvals not obtained, it will be difficult and costly (due, among other things, to the unique configuration of theater properties) to find a replacement tenant.

Bed Bath and Beyond

On April 23, 2023, Bed Bath & Beyond (“BBBY”) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and announcement that it began its efforts to close its retail locations. BBBY leases, through January 2027, a 32,138 square foot property located in Kennesaw, Georgia. As of April 1, 2023, and through the stated expiration of this lease, BBBY is obligated to pay us an aggregate of $2.3 million of base rent. In 2022, this property accounted for (i) $629,000 of rental income, net and (ii) $218,000, $168,000 and $56,000 of depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and real estate operating expense, respectively. At March 31, 2023, the mortgage debt and unbilled rent receivable with respect to this property was $4.6 million and $133,000, respectively.

Our cash flow and profitability will be adversely impacted by the anticipated modifications to Regal’s leases or if the issues with respect to the other challenged tenants/properties identified in this Quarterly Report or the Annual Report are not resolved in a satisfactory manner.

Overview

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. To qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.

We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, health and fitness, restaurant, theater, and other properties, many of which are subject to long-term net leases. As of March 31, 2023, we own 119 properties (including three properties owned by consolidated joint ventures and three properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) located in 31 states. Based on square footage, our occupancy rate at March 31, 2023 is approximately 97.8%.

We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business, including the possibility we will not be able to: acquire or dispose of properties on acceptable terms, lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all, collect amounts owed to us by our tenants, renew or re-let, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring or otherwise terminating.

We seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by (i) diversifying among locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations, mortgage maturities and lenders, and (ii) minimizing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Substantially all of our mortgage debt either bears interest at fixed rates or is subject to interest rate swaps, limiting our exposure to fluctuating interest rates on our outstanding mortgage debt.

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

In acquiring and disposing of properties, among other things, we evaluate the terms of the leases, the credit of the existing tenants, the terms and conditions of the related financing arrangement (including any contemplated financing) and engage in a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be bought or sold. This fundamental analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local demographics and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination. In addition, in evaluating property sales, we take into account, among other things, the property type (i.e., industrial, retail or other), our perception of the property’s long-term prospects (including the likelihood for, and the extent of, any further appreciation or diminution in value), the term remaining on the related lease and mortgage debt, the price and other terms and conditions for the sale of such property and the returns anticipated to be generated from the reinvestment of the net proceeds to us from such property sale.

Our 2023 contractual base rent is approximately $70.7 million and represents, after giving effect to any abatements, concessions, deferrals or adjustments in effect as of March 31, 2023, the base rent payable to us during the year ending December 31, 2023 under leases in effect at March 31, 2023. Excluded from such contractual rental income is an aggregate of $8.4 million comprised of: (i) $2.1 million of base rent and $341,000 of COVID-19 rent deferral repayments due from Regal Cinemas (including our $237,000 share of base rent payable and $40,000 share of COVID-19 rent deferral repayments due from Regal Cinemas at our joint venture property), (ii) $1.4 million representing our share of the base rent payable to our joint ventures (excluding amounts from Regal Cinemas noted above), (iii) subject to the property generating specified levels of positive operating cash flow, $1.3 million of estimated variable lease payments from The Vue, a multi-family complex which ground leases the underlying land from us and as to which there is uncertainty as to when and whether the tenant will resume paying rent, (iv) approximately $1.5 million of straight-line rent and $755,000 of amortization of intangibles, (v) $607,000 of base rent from BBBY which filed for bankruptcy protection and (vi) $366,000 of base rent from Havertys Furniture at our Duluth, Georgia property that we anticipate selling during the second quarter of 2023.

Property Transaction During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

On February 28, 2023, we sold a restaurant property located in Hauppauge, New York for a gross sales price of $4.2 million and recognized a gain of $1.5 million from this sale. This property contributed (i) $36,000 and $55,000 of rental income, net and (ii) $6,000 and $19,000 of depreciation expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We used the $4.1 million of net cash proceeds to pay down our credit facility.

Property Transaction Subsequent to March 31, 2023

During the second quarter of 2023, we anticipate (i) completing the sale of the Havertys Furniture retail property located in Duluth, Georgia for a gross sales price of $6.0 million and (ii) recognizing a gain of $3.1 million from this sale during the three and six months ending June 30, 2023. This property contributed (i) $91,000 and $95,000 of rental income, net, (ii) $23,000 and $23,000 of depreciation and amortization expense and (iii) $0 and $16,000 of mortgage interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We intend to use the net cash proceeds of approximately $5.9 million to pay down our credit facility.

Changes due to acquisitions and dispositions

The three months ended March 31, 2023 reflects an increase of $1.1 million generated by six properties acquired in 2022. Offsetting the increase is a decrease due to the inclusion, in the corresponding 2022 period, of rental income of $481,000 from properties sold during 2022 and 2023 (i.e., $461,000 from seven properties sold in 2022).

Changes at same store properties

The increase is due primarily to an aggregate of (i) $439,000 of rental income due to lease amendments and extensions at several properties, including $264,000 at our Fort Mill, South Carolina property, (ii) $244,000 of rental income from new tenants, including $146,000 from Lion Brewery at our Pittston, Pennsylvania property, and (iii) $114,000 in tenant reimbursements.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase is due primarily to (i) $460,000 from properties acquired in 2022 and (ii) $105,000 from improvements at several properties. The increase was offset by a decrease of (i) $233,000 related to improvements and tenant origination costs at several properties that prior to March 31, 2023 were fully amortized and (ii) $88,000 of such expense from the properties sold since January 1, 2022.

General and administrative. The increase is primarily due to increases of (i) $114,000 of compensation expense due to higher levels of compensation, and to a lesser extent, additional employees and (ii) $89,000 in professional fees related to various matters.

Real estate expenses. The increase is primarily due to (i) $280,000 in these expenses from properties acquired in 2022 and (ii) $279,000 in these expenses for several properties, none of which were individually significant (including a $138,000 increase in real estate tax expense, an $80,000 increase in real estate operating expenses and a $61,000 increase in insurance expense). The increase was offset by $122,000 related to properties sold in 2022.

A substantial portion of real estate expenses are rebilled to tenants and are included in Rental income, net, on the consolidated statements of income.

Weighted average principal amount	$	410,021		$	401,633		$	8,388		2.1

The increase in mortgage interest in the three months ended March 31, 2023 is due primarily to the increase in the average principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding which resulted from financings effectuated in connection with refinancings and acquisitions. The increase was offset by mortgages payoffs (generally in connection with current maturity dates) and scheduled amortization payments.

Credit line interest

The following table reflects the weighted average interest rate on the weighted average principal amount of outstanding credit line debt for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended

Weighted average principal amount	$	20,184		$	14,408		$	5,776		40.1

The increase in credit line interest in the three months ended March 31, 2023 is due to the increase in the weighted average interest rate, and to a lesser extent, an increase of $5.8 million in the weighted average balance outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity and capital include cash flow from operations, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our credit facility, refinancing existing mortgage loans, obtaining mortgage loans secured by our unencumbered properties, issuance of our equity securities and property sales. Our available liquidity at May 1, 2023, was $87.9 million, including $7.9 million of cash and cash equivalents (including the credit facility’s required minimum $3.0 million average deposit maintenance balance) and $80.0 million available under our credit facility. At May 1, 2023, the facility is available for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, and up to $31.5 million for renovation and operating expense purposes.

Liquidity and Financing

We expect to meet our short term (i.e., one year or less) and long term (i) operating cash requirements, including debt service, anticipated dividend payments and repurchases, if any, of our common stock (we are authorized to repurchase up to $7.5 million of common stock) principally from cash flow from operations, our available cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from and, to the extent permitted and needed, our credit facility and (ii) investing and financing cash requirements (including an estimated aggregate of $2.7 million of capital and other expenditures) from the foregoing, as well as property financings and refinancings, property sales and sales of our common stock.

At March 31, 2023, excluding the mortgage debt of our unconsolidated joint venture, we had 67 outstanding mortgages payable secured by 68 properties in the aggregate principal amount of $410.9 million (before netting unamortized deferred financing costs of $3.3 million and mortgage intangible of $635,000). These mortgages represent first liens on individual real estate investments with an aggregate carrying value of $654.9 million, before accumulated depreciation of $116.2 million. After giving effect to interest rate swap agreements, the mortgage payments bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 3.02% to 5.50% (a 4.12% weighted average interest rate) and mature between 2023 and 2047 (a 6.2 year weighted average remaining term to maturity).

The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2023, information with respect to our mortgage debt that is payable during the nine months ending December 31, 2023 and for each of the subsequent twelve months through December 31, 2026 (excludes our unconsolidated joint venture’s $21.2 million mortgage debt bearing an interest rate of 4.0% and maturing in 2025):


(Dollars in thousands)	2023		2024			2025		2026		Total
Amortization payments	$	9,211	$	11,388		$	10,085	$	9,965	$	40,649
Principal due at maturity		12,973		50,695	(1)		32,063		19,179		114,910
Total	$	22,184	$	62,083		$	42,148	$	29,144	$	155,559

(1)

Approximately $23.7 million (bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%) of such debt matures in the quarter ending March 31, 2024. We anticipate refinancing a substantial portion of such debt although we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so on terms as favorable as those currently in effect or at all.

We intend to make debt amortization payments from operating cash flow and, though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard, generally intend to refinance, extend or payoff the mortgage loans which mature in 2023 through 2026. We intend to repay the amounts not refinanced or extended from our existing funds and sources of funds, including our available cash, proceeds from the sale of our common stock and our credit facility (to the extent available).

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

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

Credit Facility

Our credit facility provides that subject to borrowing base requirements, we can borrow up to $100.0 million for the acquisition of commercial real estate, repayment of mortgage debt, and renovation and operating expense purposes; provided, that if used for renovation and operating expense purposes, the amount outstanding for such purposes will not exceed the lesser of $40.0 million and 40% of the borrowing base. The facility matures December 31, 2026 and bears interest equal to 30-day SOFR plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin ranges from 175 basis points if our ratio of total debt to total value (as calculated pursuant to the facility) is equal to or less than 50%, increasing to a maximum of 275 basis points if such ratio is greater than 60%. The applicable margin was 175 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and $100.0 million. The credit facility requires the maintenance of $3.0 million in average deposit balances. The interest rate on the facility was 6.47% and 6.58% at March 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023, respectively.

The terms of our credit facility include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of tangible net worth, the minimum amount of debt service coverage, the minimum amount of fixed charge coverage, the maximum amount of debt to value, the minimum level of net income, certain investment limitations and the minimum value of unencumbered properties and the number of such properties. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facility. At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants under this facility.

Other Financing Sources and Arrangements

We own a land parcel located in Beachwood, Ohio which is improved by a multi-family complex (i.e., The Vue Apartments) that we ground lease to the owner/operator of such complex. This ground lease did not generate any rental income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023, the carrying value of the land on our balance sheet was approximately $16.8 million; our leasehold position is subordinate to $64.5 million of mortgage debt incurred by our tenant, the owner/operator of the multi-family complex. In addition, we have agreed, in our discretion, to fund certain capital expenditures and operating cash flow shortfalls at this property. We do not believe that this type of off-balance sheet arrangement has been or will be material to our liquidity and capital resource positions, except to the extent we determine to continue to fund the capital expenditures required by, and the operating cash flow shortfalls at, this property. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this arrangement.

Application of Critical Accounting Estimates

A complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in such estimates since December 31, 2022.

Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations

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

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

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

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

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022

The $522,000, or 4.9%, decrease in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the corresponding 2022 period is due primarily to:

●

a $918,000 decrease in other income from an insurance recovery,

●

a $437,000 increase in real estate operating expenses,

●

a $294,000 increase in interest expense, and

●

a $247,000 increase in general and administrative expense.

Offsetting the decrease is a $1.4 million net increase in rental income, including $292,000 from straight-line rent accruals.

See “—Results of Operations” for further information regarding these changes.

The $149,000, or 1.4%, increase in AFFO is due to the factors impacting FFO as described above other than the $918,000 in other income from an insurance recovery and a $292,000 increase in rental income related to straight-line rent accruals.

See “—Results of Operations” for further information regarding these changes.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is the effect of changes in interest rates on the interest cost of draws on our revolving variable rate credit facility and the effect of changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap agreements. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control.

We use interest rate swaps to limit interest rate risk on variable rate mortgages. These swaps are used for hedging purposes-not for speculation. We do not enter into interest rate swaps for trading purposes. At March 31, 2023, we had no liability in the event of the early termination of our swaps.

At March 31, 2023, we had 17 interest rate swap agreements outstanding. The fair market value of the interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. As of March 31, 2023, if there had been an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and the net unrealized gain on derivative instruments would have increased by $606,000. If there were a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and the net unrealized gain on derivative instruments would have decreased by $621,000. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.

Our variable mortgage debt, after giving effect to the interest rate swap agreements, bears interest at fixed rates and accordingly, the effect of changes in interest rates would not impact the interest expense we incur under these mortgages.

Our variable rate credit facility is sensitive to interest rate changes. Based on the $11.5 million outstanding balance under this facility at March 31, 2023, a 100 basis point increase of the interest rate would increase our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $115,000 and a 100 basis point decrease of the interest rate would decrease our related interest costs over the next twelve months by approximately $115,000.

The fair market value of our long-term debt is estimated based on discounting future cash flows at interest rates that our management believes reflect the risks associated with long-term debt of similar risk and duration.
