As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned and operated a portfolio of real estate consisting of

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited; however, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other period.
Liquidity and Management’s Plan
As of April 29, 2025, the Company had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under
8
Management intends to engage in discussions with the Company’s lenders and/or third party financing sources to extend or refinance the Company’s existing debt. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be successful in extending the maturity date or refinancing all of its existing debt. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern”, requires management to consider whether there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of uncertainty about the maturity of the Company’s debt on April 1, 2026. Although management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity date or retire the existing debt through a refinancing and/or asset sales, guidance issued under ASC 205-40 requires that management not conclude that such an outcome is “probable” if, among other factors, the outcome is not within the control of the Company. Because no such restructuring, refinancing or sale transactions have closed, such outcomes are not within the control of the Company; therefore, for accounting purposes, management is unable to conclude that such an outcome is probable. Accordingly, ASC 205-40 requires management to conclude that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date of issuance of these financial statements.
While management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing and/or asset sales, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The failure to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing and/or asset sales could lead to events of default, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Financial Instruments
The Company estimates that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, and tenant security deposits approximate their fair values based on their short-term maturity and the term loans payable approximate their fair values as they bear interest at variable interest rates or at rates that are at market for similar investments.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Restricted cash consists of escrows arising from property sales. Cash held in escrow is paid based on the terms of the closing agreements for the sale.
Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
The Company determines whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether it should be consolidated by utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. The determination of whether an entity in which the Company holds a, direct or
9
indirect, variable interest is a VIE is based on several factors, including whether the entity’s total equity investment at risk upon inception is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company makes judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, and then a quantitative analysis, if necessary.
The Company analyzes any investments in VIEs to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its direct and indirect economic interests in the entity. Determining which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is primarily a qualitative approach focused on identifying which reporting entity has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from such entity that could potentially be significant to such entity. Performance of that analysis requires the exercise of judgment.
The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct a proposed sale of the property or merger of the company. In addition, the Company considers the rights of other investors to participate in those decisions, to replace the manager and to amend the corporate charter. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and considers that conclusion upon a reconsideration event.
As of January 1, 2023, the Company’s relationship with the Sponsored REIT was considered a VIE and the Company became the primary beneficiary. Upon this reconsideration event, the entity is included within the Company’s consolidated financial statements and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to GAAP at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The guidance in ASU 2023-06 is required to be applied prospectively and the GAAP requirements will be
10
effective when the removal of the related SEC disclosure requirements is effective. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirements by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the Accounting Standards Codification and will not be effective. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires public entities to disclose significant segment expense and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but may be applied retrospectively for each period presented. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively and entities may apply it retrospectively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
On February 20, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions that fixed the interest rate for the period beginning August 26, 2020 and ending January 31, 2024 on the BMO Term Loan (the “2019 BMO Interest Rate Swap”). The variable rates that were fixed under the 2019 BMO Interest Rate Swap is described in Note 2. On February 8, 2023, the Company terminated the 2019 BMO Interest Rate Swap applicable to the BMO Term Loan and, on February 10, 2023, the Company received an aggregate of approximately $
The 2019 BMO Interest Rate Swap qualified as a cash flow hedge and has been recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. If a derivative qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be recognized in earnings in the same period in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings, which may increase or decrease reported net income and stockholders’ equity prospectively,
15
depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows.
The gain (loss) on the 2019 BMO Interest Rate Swap was recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (OCI), and the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as a component of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, was as follows:

Amounts of previously recorded gain (loss) reclassified from OCI into Interest Expense | $ | — | $ | | ||
Total amount of Interest Expense presented in the consolidated statements of operations | $ | | $ | | ||
Over time, the realized gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified into earnings as a decrease to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affected earnings.
The Company hedged the exposure to variability in anticipated future interest payments on existing debt.
4. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of Company shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares were exercised or converted into shares. There were

6. Income Taxes
General
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company generally is entitled to a tax deduction for distributions paid to its shareholders, thereby effectively subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to taxation at the shareholder level only. The Company must comply with a variety of restrictions to maintain its status as a REIT. These restrictions include the type of income it can earn, the type of assets it can hold, the number of shareholders it can have and the concentration of their ownership, and the amount of the Company’s taxable income that must be distributed annually.
One such restriction is that the Company generally cannot own more than
Income taxes are recorded based on the future tax effects of the difference between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. In estimating future tax consequences, potential future events are considered except for potential changes in income tax law or in rates.
The Company adopted an accounting pronouncement related to uncertainty in income taxes effective January 1, 2007, which did not result in recording a liability, nor was any accrued interest and penalties recognized with the adoption. Accrued interest and penalties will be recorded as income tax expense, if the Company records a liability in the future. The Company’s effective tax rate was not affected by the adoption. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for the Company’s income tax returns is generally
Net operating losses
Section 382 of the Code restricts a corporation’s ability to use net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset future taxable income following certain “ownership changes.” Such ownership changes occurred with past mergers and accordingly a portion of the NOLs incurred by the Company’s prior sponsored REITs available for use by the Company in any particular future taxable year will be limited. To the extent that the Company does not utilize the full amount of the annual NOLs limit, the unused amount may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years. NOLs expire
17
remaining from such NOLs is not assured. The gross amount of NOLs available to the Company was approximately $
Income Tax Expense
The Company is subject to a business tax known as the Revised Texas Franchise Tax. Some of the Company’s leases allow reimbursement by tenants for these amounts because the Revised Texas Franchise Tax replaces a portion of the property tax for school districts. Because the tax base on the Revised Texas Franchise Tax is derived from an income based measure, it is considered an income tax. The Company recorded a provision for the Revised Texas Franchise Tax of $
The income tax expense reflected in the consolidated statements of operations relates primarily to a franchise tax on the Company’s Texas properties.

7. Leases
Leases as a Lessor:
The Company is a lessor of commercial real estate with operations that include the leasing of office properties. Many of the leases with customers contain options to extend leases at a fair market rate and may also include options to terminate leases. The Company considers several inputs when evaluating the amount it expects to derive from its leased assets at the end of the lease terms, such as the remaining useful life, expected market conditions, fair value of lease payments, expected fair values of underlying assets, and expected deployment of the underlying assets. The Company’s strategy to address its risk for the residual value in its commercial real estate is to re-lease the commercial space.
The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the related lease component of real estate leases. This combined component is primarily comprised of fixed lease payments, early termination fees, common area maintenance cost reimbursements, and parking lease payments. The Company applies ASC 842-Leases to the combined lease and non-lease components.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized the following amounts of income relating to lease payments:

9. Segment Information
The Company is a REIT focused on real estate investments primarily in the office market and currently operates in
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Company is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM measures the performance and profit or loss for the Company’s reportable segment using a measure referred to as Segment Net Operating Income (“Segment NOI”). The CODM utilizes Segment NOI when considering the deployment of the Company’s capital resources on a property-by-property basis. The significant expense categories which the Company’s CODM examines when measuring the segment’s performance include real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance. Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance. The total assets of the Company’s reportable segment can be found on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Segment NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes income taxes. Segment NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. Segment NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to make distributions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as necessarily indicative of future operations. The following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may also contain forward-looking statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, including the impact of recessionary concerns, inflation, energy prices and interest rates, as well as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of work-from-home and return-to-work policies, and other potential infectious disease outbreaks and terrorist attacks or other acts of violence, which may negatively affect the markets in which we and our tenants operate, our inability to extend and/or refinance our debt or effect asset sales or other potential transactions sufficient to repay such debt prior to the maturity dates thereof, adverse changes in energy prices, which if sustained, could negatively impact occupancy and rental rates in the markets in which we own properties, including energy-influenced markets such as Dallas, Denver and Houston, expectations for future potential property dispositions, expectations for future potential leasing activity, expectations for the potential payment of special dividends, changes in interest rates as a result of economic market conditions, disruptions in the debt markets, economic conditions in the markets in which we own properties, risks of a lessening of demand for the types of real estate owned by us, uncertainties relating to fiscal policy, changes in government regulations and regulatory uncertainty, geopolitical events, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, delays in construction schedules, unanticipated increases in construction costs, unanticipated repairs, increases in the level of general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues as revenues decrease as a result of property dispositions, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We may not update any of the forward-looking statements after the date this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations that occur after such date, other than as required by law.
Overview
FSP Corp., or we or the Company, operates in a single reportable segment: real estate operations. The real estate operations market involves real estate rental operations, leasing, secured financing of real estate and services provided for asset management, property management, property acquisitions, dispositions and development. Our current strategy is to focus on infill and central business district office properties in the United States sunbelt and mountain west regions as well as select opportunistic markets. We believe that the United States sunbelt and mountain west regions have macro-economic drivers that have the potential to increase occupancies and rents. We are focused on long-term growth and appreciation, as well as current income.
As of March 31, 2025, approximately 4.8 million square feet, or approximately 95.7 % of our total owned and consolidated portfolio, was located in Dallas, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis.
The main factor that affects our real estate operations is the broad economic market conditions in the United States. These market conditions affect the occupancy levels and the rent levels on both a national and local level. We have no influence on broader economic market conditions. We may look to acquire and/or develop quality properties in good locations in order to lessen the impact of downturns in the market and to take advantage of upturns when they occur.
We continue to believe that the current price of our common stock does not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of our underlying real estate assets and we will seek to increase shareholder value by (1) pursuing the sale of select properties where we believe that short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached and (2) striving to lease vacant space. As we continue to execute this strategy, our revenue, Funds From Operations, and capital expenditures may decrease in the short term. Proceeds from dispositions are intended to be used primarily for the repayment of debt.
21
For the year ended December 31, 2024, our disposition strategy resulted in aggregate gross sale proceeds of $100.0 million. On February 21, 2024, we repaid an aggregate amount of $102 million of debt in connection with the extensions of our BofA Term Loan, BMO Term Loan, Series A Notes and Series B Notes (each as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below). On July 10, 2024 and October 25, 2024, we repaid an aggregate amount of $25.3 million and $27.4 million, respectively, of our debt previously outstanding under the BofA Term Loan, BMO Term Loan, Series A Notes and Series B Notes (each as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below).
In July 2022, we adopted a variable quarterly dividend policy, which replaced our previous regular quarterly dividend policy. Under the variable quarterly dividend policy, the Board of Directors determines quarterly dividends based upon a variety of factors, including the Company’s estimates of its annual taxable income and the amount that the Company is required to distribute annually in the aggregate to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.
As of February 21, 2024, the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Senior Notes (as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources below) was no longer based on the credit rating of our debt. The credit rating for our senior unsecured debt was downgraded by Moody’s Investor Service from Ba1 to Ba3 on April 12, 2023, from Ba3 to B3 on June 14, 2023, and from B3 to Caa1 on February 27, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, our credit rating remains at Caa1.
Trends and Uncertainties
Long-Term Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
Considerable uncertainty still surrounds the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the population, including the spread of more contagious variants of the virus, and on the commercial real estate market and our business. Many of our tenants still do not fully occupy the space that they lease. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the performance of our properties and our financial results, such as the potential negative impact to the businesses of our tenants, the impact of work-from-home and return-to-work policies, the potential negative impact to leasing efforts and occupancy at our properties, uncertainty regarding future rent collection levels or requests for rent concessions from our tenants, the occurrence of a default under any of our debt agreements, the potential for increased borrowing costs, negative impacts on our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or to secure new sources of capital on favorable terms, fluctuations in our level of dividends, increased costs of operations, making more difficult our ability to complete required capital expenditures in a timely manner and on budget, decreases in values of our real estate assets, changes in law and/or regulation, and uncertainty regarding government and regulatory policy. We are unable to estimate the full extent of the long-term impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have on our future financial results at this time. See “The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. This impact could be materially adverse to the extent that the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or future pandemics, cause tenants to be unable to pay their rent or reduce the demand for commercial real estate, or cause other impacts described below.” in Item 1A. “Risk Factors ” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Economic Conditions
Although recent indicators suggest that economic activity has expanded at a modest pace, the global economy continues to experience significant disruptions as a result of various factors, including geopolitical events such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, increasing tensions with China and Iran, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing supply chain difficulties. In addition, various economic factors, including but not limited to, impacts of changes in tariffs that the United States and other countries have announced or implemented, as well as any additional new tariffs, trade restrictions or export regulations that may be implemented or reversed in the future, inflation and interest rates, are contributing to recessionary concerns for the economy of the United States. Economic conditions directly affect the demand for office space, our primary income producing asset. In addition, the broad economic market conditions in the United States are typically affected by numerous other factors, including but not limited to, employment levels, energy prices, uncertainty about government fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, changes in currency exchange rates, the regulatory environment and the availability of credit. During 2023 and 2024, the Federal Reserve adjusted the federal funds rate target several times, most recently decreasing it by 25 basis points on December 18, 2024, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. If interest rates increase,
22
then the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt would be adversely affected, which could in turn adversely affect our cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to stockholders. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 50.6% of our total debt constituted unhedged variable rate debt. Increased interest rates could also decrease the amount third parties are willing to pay for our assets and limit our ability to incur new debt or refinance existing debt when it matures. As of the date of this report, the impact of current economic conditions and geopolitical events and the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic are adversely affecting the demand for office space in the United States.
Real Estate Operations
As of March 31, 2025, our real estate portfolio was comprised of 14 owned properties, which we refer to as our owned properties, and a non-controlling common stock interest in the corporation that is the sole member of FSP Monument Circle LLC, which corporation was organized to operate as a real estate investment trust, which we refer to as the Sponsored REIT. The Sponsored REIT, which we also refer to as Monument Circle, was consolidated effective January 1, 2023. We refer to these 15 properties as our owned and consolidated properties. Our owned properties were approximately 69.2% leased as of March 31, 2025, a decrease from 70.3% leased as of December 31, 2024. The 1.1% decrease in leased space was primarily a result of lease maturities that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,482,000 square feet of vacancy in our owned properties compared to approximately 1,428,000 square feet of vacancy at December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we leased approximately 60,000 square feet of office space in our owned properties, which were with existing tenants, at a weighted average term of 5.2 years. On average, tenant improvements for such leases were $3.77 per square foot, lease commissions were $6.65 per square foot and rent concessions were approximately three months of free rent. Average GAAP base rents under such leases were $29.64 per square foot, or 3.4% higher than average rents in the respective properties as applicable compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Our owned and consolidated properties were approximately 66.4% and 67.5% leased, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of March 31, 2025, leases for approximately 4.9% and 11.6% of the square footage in our owned portfolio are scheduled to expire during 2025 and 2026, respectively. As the second quarter of 2025 begins, we believe that:
•approximately half of our operating properties are stabilized with leased occupancy of 75% or more; and
•our remaining operating properties are value add in nature with leased occupancy of less than 75%.
Existing vacancy is being actively marketed to numerous potential tenants. While leasing activity at our properties has continued, we believe that the impact of geopolitical events, current economic conditions and the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit or delay new tenant leasing during at least the second quarter of 2025 and potentially in future periods.
While we cannot generally predict when an existing vacancy in our owned properties will be leased or if existing tenants with expiring leases will renew their leases or what the terms and conditions of the lease renewals will be, we expect to renew or sign new leases at then-current market rates for locations in which the buildings are located, which could be above or below the expiring rates. Also, we believe the potential exists for any of our tenants to default on its lease or to seek the protection of bankruptcy. If any of our tenants defaults on its lease, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. In addition, at any time, a tenant of one of our properties may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in the rejection and termination of such tenant’s lease and thereby cause a reduction in cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Consolidation of Sponsored REIT
As of January 1, 2023, we consolidated Monument Circle into our financial statements. On October 29, 2021, we agreed to amend and restate our existing loan to Monument Circle that is secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by Monument Circle, which we refer to as the Sponsored REIT Loan. The amended and restated Sponsored REIT Loan extended the maturity date from December 6, 2022 to June 30, 2023, increased the aggregate principal amount of the loan from $21
23
million to $24 million, and included certain other modifications. In consideration of our agreement to amend and restate the Sponsored REIT Loan, we obtained from the stockholders of Monument Circle the right to vote their shares in favor of any sale of the property owned by Monument Circle any time on or after January 1, 2023. As a result of our obtaining this right to vote shares, GAAP variable interest entity (VIE) rules required us to consolidate Monument Circle as of January 1, 2023. A gain on consolidation of approximately $0.4 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2023. On June 26, 2023, the Sponsored REIT Loan maturity was initially extended to September 30, 2023 and on September 26, 2023 was further extended to September 30, 2024. On September 27, 2024, the Sponsored REIT Loan maturity was extended to September 30, 2025.
Additional information about the consolidation of Monument Circle is incorporated herein by reference to Note 1, “Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments, and Recent Accounting Standards – Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Dispositions of Properties and Assets Held for Sale
On April 7, 2025, Monument Circle entered into a purchase and sale agreement with a third party to sell its property located in Indianapolis, Indiana for a gross sales price of $6.0 million. We estimated the fair value of this property, less estimated costs to sell, based on the purchase price set forth in the letter of intent to purchase the property that Monument Circle entered into with the third party, which resulted in recording an impairment loss of $13.3 million and we reclassified the property as an asset held for sale of $5.7 million as of March 31, 2025.
On January 26, 2024, we sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas for a sales price of $35 million. The property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and an impairment of $2.1 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. An additional $5,000 of costs related to the sale were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The disposition of this property did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results. Our current strategy is to focus on the sunbelt and mountain west regions of the United States. Accordingly, the property sold remained classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
We continue to believe that the current price of our common stock does not accurately reflect the value of our underlying real estate assets, and we will seek to increase shareholder value by (1) pursuing the sale of select properties where we believe that short to intermediate term valuation potential has been reached and (2) striving to lease vacant space. As we continue to execute this strategy, our revenue, Funds From Operations, and capital expenditures may decrease in the short term. Proceeds from dispositions are intended to be used primarily for the repayment of debt.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We have certain critical accounting policies that are subject to judgments and estimates by our management and uncertainties of outcome that affect the application of these policies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the understanding of our financial position and results of operations, and that require significant management estimates and judgments, are discussed in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. We believe that our judgments and estimates are consistently applied and produce financial information that fairly presents our results of operations.

Recent Accounting Standards
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to GAAP at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The guidance in ASU 2023-06 is required to be applied prospectively and the GAAP requirements will be effective when the removal of the related SEC disclosure requirements is effective. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirements by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the Accounting Standards Codification and will not be effective. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires public entities to disclose significant segment expense and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but may be applied retrospectively for each period presented. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is required to be applied prospectively and entities may apply it retrospectively. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024:
Revenues
Total revenues decreased by $4.1 million to $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of:
| ● | A decrease in rental revenue of approximately $4.1 million arising primarily from the sale of three properties in 2024 and other losses of rental income from lease expirations during the periods presented. These decreases were partially offset by rental income earned from leases commencing after March 31, 2024. Our leased space in our owned and consolidated properties was 66.4% as of March 31, 2025 and 70.6% as of March 31, 2024. |
Expenses
Total expenses decreased by $4.1 million to $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of:
| ● | A decrease in real estate operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance of approximately $1.5 million, which was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above. |
| ● | A decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.8 million, which was primarily attributable to the property dispositions noted above. |
| ● | A decrease in general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, which was primarily attributable to fees and costs incurred from the loan amendment we entered into on February 21, 2024 described above and higher professional fees incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024. |
| ● | A decrease in interest expense of approximately $1.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a lower principal amount of debt outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 and was partially offset by higher interest rates under the loan amendment we entered into on February 21, 2024. |

Loss on extinguishment of debt
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repaid debt and incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,000 related to unamortized deferred financing costs on the dates of the repayments.
Loss on sale of properties and impairment on asset held for sale
On April 7, 2025, Monument Circle entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell its property located in Indianapolis, Indiana for a gross sales price of $6.0 million. We estimated the fair value of this property, less estimated costs to sell, based on the purchase price set forth in the letter of intent to purchase the property that Monument Circle entered into with the third party, which resulted in recording an impairment loss of $13.3 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold an office property located in Richardson, Texas on January 26, 2024, for a sales price of $35.0 million at a loss of approximately $2.1 million. The property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 and an impairment of $2.1 million, was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. An additional $5,000 of costs related to the sale were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Interest income
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we invested disposition proceeds in an interest-bearing account and earned $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in interest income.
Tax expense on income
Included in income taxes is the Revised Texas Franchise Tax, which is a tax on revenues from Texas properties, which was $52,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $58,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $21.4 million, compared to a net loss of $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, for the reasons described above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds From Operations
The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, hedge ineffectiveness, acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized and lease acquisition costs that are not capitalized plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.
Other real estate companies and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO definition as of May 17, 2016 in the table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income or loss and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.
The calculations of FFO are shown in the following table:

Net Operating Income (NOI)
The Company provides property performance based on Net Operating Income, which we refer to as NOI. Management believes that investors are interested in this information. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company defines as net income or loss (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure) plus selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges, interest expense, less equity in earnings of nonconsolidated REITs, interest income, management fee income, hedge ineffectiveness, gains or losses on the sale of assets and excludes non-property specific income and expenses. The information presented includes footnotes and the data is shown by region with properties owned and consolidated in the periods presented, which we call Same Store. The comparative Same Store results include properties held for the periods presented and exclude acquired properties or properties that have been placed in service, but that do not have operating activity for all periods presented, dispositions and significant nonrecurring income such as bankruptcy settlements and lease termination fees. NOI, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other
28
REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance or to cash flows as a measure of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to make distributions. The calculations of NOI are shown in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 29, 2025, the Company had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under three unsecured loans, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes (each as defined and described below), totaling approximately $250.2 million and maturing on April 1, 2026, which is within 12 months of the date of issuance of the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management intends to engage in discussions with the Company’s lenders and/or third party financing sources to extend or refinance the Company’s existing debt. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be successful in extending the maturity date or refinancing all of its existing debt. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern”, requires management to consider whether there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of uncertainty about the maturity of the Company’s debt on April 1, 2026. Although management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity date or retire the existing debt through a refinancing and/or asset sales, guidance issued under ASC 205-40 requires that management not conclude that such an outcome is “probable” if, among other factors, the outcome is not within the control of the Company. Because no such restructuring, refinancing or sale transactions have closed, such outcomes are not within the control of the Company; therefore, for accounting purposes, management is unable to conclude that such an outcome is probable. Accordingly, ASC 205-40 requires management to conclude that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date of issuance of the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
While management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing and/or asset sales, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. The failure to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing and/or asset sales could lead to events of default, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
Cash and cash equivalents were $31.6 million and $42.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease of 11.1 million is attributable to $5.4 million used in operating activities, less $4.5 million used in investing activities less $1.2 million used in financing activities. Although there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the funds necessary for our future growth, we anticipate generating funds from continuing real estate operations and property dispositions. We believe that we have adequate funds to cover unusual expenses and capital improvements, in addition to normal operating expenses. Our ability to maintain or increase our level of dividends to stockholders, however, depends in significant part upon the level of rental income from our real properties, property dispositions and our interest costs.
Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $5.4 million is primarily attributable to a net loss of $21.4 million, excluding $13.3 million from an impairment loss on an asset held for sale, plus the add-back of $11.6 million of non-cash expenses, less a decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation of $7.8 million, less an increase in payment of deferred leasing commissions of $0.5 million, less an increase in tenant receivables of $0.2 million, less a decrease in prepaid expenses of $0.2 million, less an increase in lease acquisition costs of $0.1 million and less a decrease in tenant security deposits of $0.1 million.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $4.5 million is primarily attributable to purchases of other real estate assets and office equipment investments of $4.5 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $1.2 million is primarily attributable to payment of distributions to stockholders of $1.0 million and the repayment of $0.2 million of our debt.
31
Liquidity beyond the next 12 months
As of March 31, 2025, we had aggregate outstanding indebtedness of $250.2 million under the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes, each of which matures on April 1, 2026. Our ability to generate cash adequate to satisfy our debt obligations as they mature and meet our operating needs is dependent primarily on income from real estate investments, the sale of real estate investments, leveraging of real estate investments, availability of bank borrowings, proceeds from public offerings of stock, private placement of debt and access to the capital markets. The payment of expenses related to real estate operations, capital improvement expenses, debt service payments, general and administrative expenses, and distribution requirements place demands on our liquidity.
We intend to operate our properties from the cash flows generated by our properties. However, our expenses are affected by various factors, including inflation. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional factors. Increases in operating expenses are predominantly borne by our tenants. To the extent that increases cannot be passed on to our tenants through rent reimbursements, such expenses would reduce the amount of available cash flow, which can adversely affect the market value of the applicable property.
We have used a variety of sources to fund our cash needs in addition to our free cash flow generated from our investments in real estate. In the past, we considered borrowing from new lenders, adding or refinancing existing debt or raising capital through public offerings or At The Market (ATM) programs of our common stock.
BMO Term Loan
As of March 31, 2025, we have a term loan borrowing in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $71.0 million, which we refer to as the BMO Term Loan, with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and the other lending institutions party thereto, that matures on April 1, 2026. On February 21, 2024, we amended the BMO Term Loan by entering into a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of Montreal and the other lending institutions party thereto, which we refer to as the BMO Second Amendment. The BMO Second Amendment amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 27, 2018, which we refer to as the Original BMO Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 10, 2023, which we refer to as the BMO First Amendment, to, among other things: (1) extend the maturity date from October 1, 2024 to April 1, 2026; (2) change the interest rate from either 300 basis points over SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) or 200 basis points over the base rate to either 300 basis points over SOFR with a floor on SOFR of 500 basis points or 200 basis points over the base rate with a floor on the base rate of 600 basis points; (3) provide that, if, as of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan (defined below) and the Senior Notes (defined below) exceeds $200 million, the spread over SOFR or the base rate, as applicable, will permanently increase by 100 basis points, from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate; (4) require mandatory prepayments of the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes with net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances as follows: (a) 25.55556% to the BMO Term Loan; (b) 20.00000% to the BofA Term Loan; (c) 44.44444% to the Senior Notes; and (d) the remaining 10% to be retained by us; (5) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the BMO Second Amendment, certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the BMO Term Loan; (6) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the BMO Second Amendment, we pledge our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries as collateral for the BMO Term Loan; (7) reduce our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.50x to 1.25x; and (8) reduce our minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio from 1.75x to 1.25x. We refer to the Original BMO Credit Agreement, as amended by the BMO First Amendment and the BMO Second Amendment, as the BMO Credit Agreement.
The BMO Credit Agreement initially provided for an unsecured term loan borrowing in the amount of $220 million. The BMO Term Loan initially consisted of a $55 million tranche A term loan and a $165 million tranche B term loan. On June 4, 2021, we repaid the tranche A term loan that was scheduled to mature on November 30, 2021, and incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million related to unamortized deferred financing costs. On February 10, 2023, we repaid a $40 million portion of the tranche B term loan. On August 10, 2023, we repaid an additional $10 million portion of the tranche B term loan. On February 21, 2024, as part of the BMO Second Amendment, we repaid an approximately $29.0 million portion of the tranche B term loan. On July 10, 2024, we repaid an approximately $7.2 million portion of the tranche B term loan from asset sale proceeds of a property located in Glen Allen, Virginia. On October 25, 2024, we repaid an
32
approximately $7.8 million portion of the tranche B term loan from asset sale proceeds of a property located in Atlanta, Georgia. On March 6, 2025, we repaid an approximately $43,000 portion of the tranche B term loan from an escrow collected on March 4, 2025, which had been held from the sale of a property located in Glen Allen, Virginia.
Effective February 21, 2024 upon entering into the BMO Second Amendment, the BMO Term Loan bears interest at either (i) 300 basis points over one, three or six month term SOFR, plus a corresponding adjustment of 0.11448%, 0.26161% or 0.42826%, respectively, with a floor on SOFR of 5.00% or (ii) 200 basis points over the base rate with a floor on the base rate of 6.00%. In addition, effective February 21, 2024 upon entering into the BMO Second Amendment, if, as of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes exceeds $200 million, the spread over SOFR or the base rate, as applicable, will permanently increase by 100 basis points from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate. Effective April 1, 2025, the spread over SOFR or the base rate, as applicable, permanently increased by 100 basis points, from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the BMO Term Loan was 8.00% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. As of April 1, 2025, the interest rate on the BMO Term Loan was 9.00%. The weighted average variable interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the BMO Term Loan was 8.00% and 8.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
Although the interest rate on the BMO Term Loan is currently variable under the BMO Credit Agreement, we previously fixed the base LIBOR interest rate that previously applied to the BMO Term Loan by entering into interest rate swap transactions. On February 20, 2019, we entered into ISDA Master Agreements with a group of banks that fixed the base LIBOR interest rate on the BMO Term Loan at 2.39% per annum for the period beginning on August 26, 2020 and ending January 31, 2024. On February 8, 2023, we terminated all remaining interest rate swaps applicable to the BMO Term Loan and, on February 10, 2023, we received an aggregate of approximately $4.3 million as a result of such terminations.
The BMO Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, use of net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances, mandatory prepayments, the requirement to have certain subsidiaries provide guarantees, the requirement to pledge our equity interests in certain subsidiaries as collateral, changes in business, certain restricted payments, repurchases and redemptions of our common stock, going concern qualifications to our financial statements, and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the BMO Credit Agreement also restricts our ability to make quarterly dividend distributions that exceed $0.01 per share of our common stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding such restriction, we are permitted to make dividend distributions based on our good faith estimate of projected or estimated taxable income or otherwise as necessary to retain our status as a real estate investment trust, to meet the distribution requirements of Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code or to eliminate any income or excise taxes to which we would otherwise be subject. The BMO Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, and minimum unsecured interest coverage. We were in compliance with the BMO Term Loan financial covenants as of March 31, 2025.
The BMO Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, certain cross defaults and a change in control (as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by us, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the BMO Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the BMO Credit Agreement, and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or administrative agent under the BMO Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, the commitments of lenders will be automatically terminated and all of our outstanding obligations will become immediately due and payable.

BofA Term Loan
As of March 31, 2025, we have a term loan borrowing in the amount of approximately $55.6 million, which we refer to as the BofA Term Loan, with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, and other lending institutions party thereto that matures on April 1, 2026. Prior to February 21, 2024, we referred to the BofA Term Loan as the BofA Revolver. On February 21, 2024, we amended the BofA Term Loan by entering into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with the lending institutions party thereto, which we refer to as the BofA Second Amendment. The BofA Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement dated January 10, 2022, which we refer to as the Original BofA Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated February 10, 2023, which we refer to as the BofA First Amendment, to, among other things: (1) extend the maturity date from October 1, 2024 to April 1, 2026; (2) convert borrowings from being either revolving loans or letters of credit to a term loan; (3) change the interest rate from 300 basis points over SOFR to 300 basis points over SOFR with a floor on SOFR of 500 basis points; (4) provide that, if, as of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes exceeds $200 million, the spread over SOFR will permanently increase by 100 basis points from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate; (5) require mandatory prepayments of the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes with net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances as follows: (a) 25.55556% to the BMO Term Loan; (b) 20.00000% to the BofA Term Loan; (c) 44.44444% to the Senior Notes; and (d) the remaining 10% to be retained by us; (6) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the BofA Second Amendment, certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the BofA Term Loan; (7) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the BofA Second Amendment, we pledge our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries as collateral for the BofA Term Loan; (8) reduce our minimum fixed charge coverage ratio from 1.50x to 1.25x; and (9) reduce our minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio from 1.75x to 1.25x. We refer to the Original BofA Credit Agreement, as amended by the BofA First Amendment and the BofA Second Amendment, as the BofA Credit Agreement.
Prior to entering into the BofA Second Amendment on February 21, 2024, borrowings made under the BofA Revolver could be revolving loans or letters of credit, the combined sum of which could not exceed $150 million outstanding at any time. On February 10, 2023, we borrowed $40.0 million under the BofA Revolver to repay a portion of the BMO Term Loan. Effective October 1, 2023, availability under the BofA Revolver was reduced to $125 million. As of December 31, 2023, there were borrowings of $90 million drawn and outstanding under the BofA Revolver. On February 21, 2024, as part of the BofA Second Amendment, we repaid an approximately $22.7 million portion of the BofA Revolver. On July 10, 2024, we repaid an approximately $5.6 million portion of the BofA Term Loan from asset sale proceeds of a property located in Glen Allen, Virginia. On October 25, 2024, we repaid an approximately $6.1 million portion of the BofA Term Loan from asset sale proceeds of a property located in Atlanta, Georgia. On March 6, 2025, we repaid an approximately $34,000 portion of the BofA Term Loan from an escrow collected on March 4, 2025, which had been held from the sale of a property located in Glen Allen, Virginia.
Effective February 21, 2024 upon entering into the BofA Second Amendment, the BofA Term Loan bears interest at 300 basis points over either (i) the daily simple SOFR, plus an adjustment of 0.11448%, or (ii) one, three or six month term SOFR, plus a corresponding adjustment of 0.11448%, 0.26161% or 0.42826%, respectively, with a floor on SOFR of 5.00%. In addition, effective February 21, 2024 upon entering into the BofA Second Amendment, under certain circumstances, such as if SOFR is not able to be determined, the BofA Term Loan bears interest at 200 basis points over the base rate with a floor on the base rate of 600 basis points. In addition, effective February 21, 2024 upon entering into the BofA Second Amendment, if, as of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes exceeds $200 million, the spread over SOFR will permanently increase by 100 basis points from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate. Effective April 1, 2025, the spread over SOFR or the base rate, as applicable, permanently increased by 100 basis points, from 300 basis points to 400 basis points in the case of SOFR, and from 200 basis points to 300 basis points in the case of the base rate.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the BofA Term Loan was 8.00% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. As of April 1, 2025, the interest rate on the BofA Term Loan was 9.00%. The weighted average variable interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the BofA Term Loan was 8.00% and 8.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

The BofA Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, use of net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances, mandatory prepayments, the requirement to have certain subsidiaries provide guarantees, the requirement to pledge our equity interests in certain subsidiaries as collateral, changes in business, certain restricted payments, repurchases and redemptions of our common stock, going concern qualifications to our financial statements, and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the BofA Credit Agreement also restricts our ability to make quarterly dividend distributions that exceed $0.01 per share of our common stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding such restriction, we are permitted to make dividend distributions based on our good faith estimate of projected or estimated taxable income or otherwise as necessary to retain our status as a real estate investment trust, to meet the distribution requirements of Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code or to eliminate any income or excise taxes to which we would otherwise be subject. The BofA Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, and minimum unsecured interest coverage. We were in compliance with the BofA Term Loan financial covenants as of March 31, 2025.
The BofA Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including failure to pay any principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the provisions of the BofA Credit Agreement, certain cross defaults and a change in control (as defined in the BofA Credit Agreement). In the event of a default by us, the administrative agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders shall, declare all obligations under the BofA Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or BofA under the BofA Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency, and receivership, all of our outstanding obligations will become immediately due and payable.
Senior Notes
We have senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $123.6 million as of March 31, 2025, which we refer to as the Senior Notes, that mature on April 1, 2026. The Senior Notes consist of (i) Series A Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $71.7 million, which we refer to as the Series A Notes, and (ii) Series B Senior Notes due April 1, 2026 in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $51.9 million, which we refer to as the Series B Notes. On February 21, 2024, we amended the terms of the Senior Notes by entering into a First Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement, which we refer to as the NPA First Amendment, with the purchasers party thereto. The NPA First Amendment amended the Note Purchase Agreement dated October 24, 2017, which we refer to as the Original Note Purchase Agreement, to, among other things: (1) extend the maturity date of the Series A Notes from December 20, 2024 to April 1, 2026; (2) shorten the maturity date of the Series B Notes from December 20, 2027 to April 1, 2026; (3) increase the interest rate applicable to the Series A Notes from 4.49% per annum to 8.00% per annum; (4) increase the interest rate applicable to the Series B Notes from 4.76% per annum to 8.00% per annum; (5) provide that, if, as of March 31, 2025, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes exceeds $200 million, the per annum interest rates applicable to the Series A Note and the Series B Notes will permanently increase by 1.00% from 8.00% per annum to 9.00% per annum; (6) require mandatory prepayments of the BMO Term Loan, the BofA Term Loan and the Senior Notes with net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances as follows: (a) 25.55556% to the BMO Term Loan; (b) 20.00000% to the BofA Term Loan; (c) 44.44444% to the Senior Notes; and (d) the remaining 10% to be retained by us; (7) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the NPA First Amendment, certain of our subsidiaries guarantee the Senior Notes; (8) require that, within 90 days of the February 21, 2024 effective date of the NPA First Amendment, we pledge our equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries as collateral for the Senior Notes; and (9) conform all financial covenants and negative covenants in the Note Purchase Agreement with the BofA Credit Agreement and the BMO Credit Agreement. We refer to the Original Note Purchase Agreement, as amended by the NPA First Amendment, as the Note Purchase Agreement.
On February 21, 2024, as part of the NPA First Amendment, we repaid an approximately $29.2 million portion of the Series A Notes. In addition, on February 21, 2024, as part of the NPA First Amendment, we repaid an approximately $21.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes. On July 10, 2024, we repaid an approximately $7.2 million portion of the Series A Notes and an approximately $5.3 million portion of the Series B Notes from asset sale proceeds of a
35
property located in Glen Allen, Virginia. On October 25, 2024, we repaid an approximately $7.8 million portion of the Series A Notes and an approximately $5.7 million portion of the Series B Notes from asset sale proceeds of a property located in Atlanta, Georgia. On March 6, 2025, we repaid an approximately $44,000 portion of the Series A Notes and an approximately $32,000 portion of the Series B Notes from an escrow collected on March 4, 2025, which had been held from the sale of a property located in Glen Allen, Virginia. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $71.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes remained outstanding and approximately $51.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Series B Notes remained outstanding.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the interest rate on each of the Series A Notes was 8.00% per annum and the interest rate on the Series B Notes was 8.00% per annum, respectively.
Effective April 1, 2025, the interest rates applicable to the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes permanently increased from 8.00% per annum to 9.00% per annum, respectively.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, use of net cash proceeds from the disposition of property, assets and equity issuances, mandatory prepayments, the requirement to have certain subsidiaries provide guarantees, the requirement to pledge our equity interests in certain subsidiaries as collateral, changes in business, certain restricted payments, repurchases and redemptions of our common stock, going concern qualifications to our financial statements, transactions with affiliates, certain restrictions on severance, retention and similar arrangements applicable to our executive officers, and real estate investment trust compliance requirements. In addition, the Note Purchase Agreement also restricts our ability to make quarterly dividend distributions that exceed $0.01 per share of our common stock; provided, however, that notwithstanding such restriction, we are permitted to make dividend distributions based on our good faith estimate of projected or estimated taxable income or otherwise as necessary to retain our status as a real estate investment trust, to meet the distribution requirements of Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code or to eliminate any income or excise taxes to which we would otherwise be subject. The Note Purchase Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum secured leverage ratio, a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio, and minimum unsecured interest coverage. We were in compliance with the Note Purchase Agreement financial covenants as of March 31, 2025.
Equity Offering
From time to time, we may issue debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or depository shares under a registration statement to fund the acquisition of additional properties, to pay down any existing debt financing and for other corporate purposes.
Stock Repurchase Program
On June 23, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or other manners as permitted by federal securities laws. The repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time. On February 10, 2023, we disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that our Board of Directors had discontinued the repurchase authorization.
Contingencies
As of March 31, 2025, the Sponsored REIT Loan had $24 million principal amount outstanding. The Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a current term of less than one year. We anticipate that the Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid through cash flow from the sale of the underlying property. The property is currently under a purchase and sale agreement for a gross sale price of $6.0 million.
We may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
36
Sponsored REIT Loan
The Sponsored REIT Loan is secured by a mortgage on the underlying property and has a current term of less than one year. We anticipate that a portion of the Sponsored REIT Loan will be repaid through sale of the underlying property.
Additional information about the Sponsored REIT Loan outstanding as of March 31, 2025, is incorporated herein by reference to Note 1, “Organization, Properties, Basis of Presentation, Financial Instruments and Recent Accounting Standards” and Note 10 “Subsequent Events”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Other Considerations
We generally pay the ordinary annual operating expenses of our owned and consolidated properties from the rental revenue generated by the properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the rental income exceeded the expenses for each individual property, with the exception of Monument Circle for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Monument Circle has approximately 214,000 square feet of rentable space comprised of both office and street level retail space. The office component comprises approximately 95% of the rentable space and had been net leased to a single corporate tenant, through December 31, 2018. The retail component comprises the remaining approximately 5% of the property’s rentable space. Monument Circle had approximately $76,000 of rental income and $293,000 of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Monument Circle had approximately $71,000 of rental income and $289,000 of operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Monument Circle was 4.1% leased to two retail tenants at each of March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and off-balance-sheet arrangements as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our floating rate borrowing arrangements. As of March 31, 2025, if market rates on our outstanding borrowings under the BofA Term Loan, subject to a floating rate increased by 10% at maturity, or approximately 80 basis points, over the current variable rate, the increase in interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million. The interest rate on the BofA Term Loan as of March 31, 2025, was SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.11448% plus 300 basis points, or 8.00% per annum. There was $55.6 million outstanding on the BofA Term Loan as of March 31, 2025. We do not believe that the interest rate risk on the BofA Term Loan is material as of March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025, if market rates on our outstanding borrowings under the BMO Term Loan subject to a floating rate increased by 10% at maturity, or approximately 80 basis points over the current variable rate, the increase in interest expense would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.6 million. The interest rate on the BMO Term Loan as of March 31, 2025 was SOFR plus an adjustment of 0.11448% plus 300 basis points, or 8.00% per annum. We do not believe that the interest rate risk on the BMO Term Loan is material as of March 31, 2025.

The following table presents, as of March 31, 2025, our contractual variable rate borrowings under our BofA Term Loan, which matures on April 1, 2026, and under our BMO Term Loan Tranche B, which matures on April 1, 2026.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
38
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, we believe that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 2024 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
In addition to the risk factors included in the 2024 Form 10-K, we have identified the following additional risk factors:
Our current debt maturities may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
When preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued as set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern.”
As of April 29, 2025, we had aggregate outstanding indebtedness under the BofA Term Loan, BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes totaling approximately $250.2 million and maturing on April 1, 2026, which is within 12 months of the date of issuance of the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management intends to engage in discussions with the Company’s lenders and/or third party financing sources to extend or refinance the Company’s existing debt. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be successful in extending the maturity date or refinancing all of its existing debt. Although management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to extend the maturity date or retire the existing debt through a refinancing and/or asset sales, guidance issued under ASC 205-40 requires that management not conclude that such an outcome is “probable” if, among other factors, the outcome is not within the control of the Company. Because no such restructuring, refinancing or sale transactions have closed, such outcomes are not within the control of the Company; therefore, for accounting purposes, management is unable to conclude that such an outcome is probable. Accordingly, ASC 205-40 requires management to conclude that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year following the date of issuance of the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The failure to extend the maturity dates applicable to, or retire, the BofA Term Loan, the BMO Term Loan and the Senior Notes through a refinancing and/or asset sales could lead to events of default, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Any inability to continue to operate as a going concern or the occurrence of an event of default under our outstanding indebtedness would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
We are subject to risks from changes in trade policies and tariffs
Changes in the financial condition of our tenants or prospective tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect important supply chains and international trade, the termination or threatened termination of existing international trade agreements, or the implementation of tariffs or retaliatory tariffs on imported or exported goods could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of our tenants or prospective tenants. The uncertainty regarding the ultimate impact of any changes in trade policies or tariffs could also impact tenants or prospective tenants as they continue to determine changes needed to their businesses. Such changes in trade policy or the
39
imposition of tariffs could accordingly adversely affect our ability to lease our properties which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
