NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Description of Business

We are a publicly traded, primarily retail-focused, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was founded in 1910. We own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, 21 commercial real estate properties in nine states in the United States. As of June 30, 2022, we owned seven single-tenant and 14 multi-tenant income-producing properties comprising 2.8 million square feet of gross leasable space.

In addition to our income property portfolio, as of June 30, 2022, our business included the following:

Management Services:

A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”), see Note 5, “Related Party Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loans and Investments:

A portfolio of five commercial loan investments, one commercial property, which is included in the 21 commercial real estate properties above, whose lease is classified as commercial loan investment, and one preferred equity investment which is classified as a commercial loan investment.

Real Estate Operations:

A portfolio of subsurface mineral interests associated with approximately 356,000 surface acres in 19 counties in the State of Florida (“Subsurface Interests”); and

An inventory of historically owned mitigation credits as well as mitigation credits produced by the Company’s mitigation bank. The mitigation bank owns a 2,500 acre parcel of land in the western part of Daytona Beach, Florida and, pursuant to a mitigation plan approved by the applicable state and federal authorities, produces mitigation credits that are sold to developers of land in the Daytona Beach area for the purpose of enabling the developers to obtain certain regulatory permits for property development (the “Mitigation Bank”). Prior to the Interest Purchase (hereinafter defined in Note 7, “Investment in Joint Ventures”) completed on September 30, 2021, the Company held a 30% retained interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank.

Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our investment totaled $38.5 million, or 15.8% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which we have a controlling interest. Any real estate entities or properties included in the consolidated financial statements have been consolidated only for the periods that such entities or properties were owned or under control by us. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has an equity investment in PINE.

Prior to the Interest Purchase (hereinafter defined in Note 7, “Investment in Joint Ventures”) completed on September 30, 2021, the Company held a 30% retained interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank. Additionally, the Company held a 33.5% retained interest in the entity that held approximately 1,600 acres of undeveloped land in Daytona Beach, Florida (the “Land JV”) prior the sale of all of its remaining land holdings, which sale was completed on December 10, 2021, for $66.3 million to Timberline Acquisition Partners, LLC an affiliate of Timberline Real Estate Partners (the “Land JV Sale”).

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

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

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Cessation of LIBOR. In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01 which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in numerous jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately and clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The Company believes that its interest rate swaps, hereinafter described in Note 17, “Interest Rate Swaps”, meet the scope of Topic 848-10-15-3A and therefore, the Company will be able to continue to apply a perfectly effective assessment method for each interest rate swap by electing the corresponding optional expedient for subsequent assessments.

Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 related to simplifying the accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. Among other things, the amendments in the update also provide for improvements in the consistency in EPS calculations by amending the guidance by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method for convertible instruments. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 whereby diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact, if any, of the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined) using the if-converted method. Further, the Company elected, upon adoption, to utilize the modified retrospective approach, negating the required restatement of EPS for periods prior to adoption.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, bank demand accounts, and money market accounts having original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company’s bank balances as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include certain amounts over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled $27.2 million at June 30, 2022, of which $24.5 million is being held in various escrow accounts to be reinvested through the like-kind exchange structure into other income properties, $0.6 million is being held in an escrow account in connection with the Mitigation Bank as required by the applicable state and federal permitting authorities, $1.7 million is being held in three interest reserve accounts related to the Company’s commercial loans and investments, and the remaining $0.4 million is being held in various escrow accounts related to certain tenant improvements.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity

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

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

Changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are highly effective and designated and qualified as cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income and loss, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged items.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued and other liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s Credit Facility (hereinafter defined) as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, approximates current market rates for revolving credit arrangements with similar risks and maturities. The face value of the Company’s fixed rate commercial loan and master lease investments, the 2026 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), the 2027 Term Loan (hereinafter defined), mortgage note, and convertible debt held as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are measured at fair value based on current market rates for financial instruments with similar risks and maturities (see Note 9, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

12

Table of Contents

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

Recognition of Interest Income from Commercial Loan and Master Lease Investments

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

Mitigation Credits

Mitigation credits are stated at historical cost. As these assets are sold, the related revenues and cost of sales are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable related to income properties, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of accrued tenant reimbursable expenses and other tenant receivables. Receivables related to income property tenants totaled $1.6 million and $0.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The $0.7 million increase is primarily attributable to an increase in estimated accrued receivables for variable lease payments including common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses.

Accounts receivable related to real estate operations, which are classified in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $1.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are primarily related to the reimbursement of certain infrastructure costs completed by the Company in conjunction with two land sale transactions that closed during the fourth quarter of 2015 as more fully described in Note 12, “Other Assets.”

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.3 million was due from the buyer of the golf operations for the rounds surcharge the Company paid to the City of Daytona Beach.

The collectability of the aforementioned receivables shall be considered and adjusted through an allowance for credit losses pursuant to ASC 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease

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

In accordance with FASB guidance, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets

13

Table of Contents

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

Sales of Real Estate

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

Gains and losses on land sales, in addition to the sale of Subsurface Interests and mitigation credits, are accounted for as required by FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from such sales when the Company transfers the promised goods in the contract based on the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations within the contract. As market information becomes available, the underlying cost basis is analyzed and recorded at the lower of cost or market.

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) and subsidiaries of TRSs, which will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the periods presented, the Company held a total of two TRSs subject to taxation. The Company’s TRSs will file tax returns separately as C-Corporations.

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes for the Company’s TRSs. Deferred income taxes result primarily from the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes (see Note 21, “Income Taxes”). In June 2006, the FASB issued additional guidance, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements included in income taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. In accordance with FASB guidance included in income taxes, the Company has analyzed its various federal and state filing positions and believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are well documented and supported. Additionally, the Company believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to the FASB guidance.

NOTE 4. COMMERCIAL LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

Our investments in commercial loans or similar structured finance investments, such as mezzanine loans or other subordinated debt, have been and are expected to continue to be secured by real estate or the borrower’s pledge of its ownership interest in the entity that owns the real estate. The loans we invest in or originate are for commercial real estate located in the United States and its territories, and are current or performing with either a fixed or floating rate. Some of these loans may be syndicated in either a pari-passu or senior/subordinated structure. Commercial first mortgage loans generally provide for a higher recovery rate due to their senior position in the underlying collateral. Commercial mezzanine loans are typically secured by a pledge of the borrower’s equity ownership in the underlying commercial real estate. Unlike a mortgage, a mezzanine loan is not secured by a lien on the property. An investor’s rights in a mezzanine loan are usually governed by an intercreditor agreement that provides holders with the rights to cure defaults and exercise control on certain decisions of any senior debt secured by the same commercial property.

2022 Activity. On January 26, 2022, the Company originated a construction loan secured by the property and improvements to be constructed thereon for the second phase of The Exchange at Gwinnett project located in Buford, Georgia for $8.7 million. The construction loan matures on January 26, 2024, has a one-year extension option, bears a fixed interest rate of 7.25%, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. At closing, an origination fee of $0.1 million was received by the Company. Funding of the loan will occur as the borrower completes the underlying construction. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not disbursed any funds to the borrower.  

On March 11, 2022, the Company sold the Carpenter Hotel ground lease located in Austin, Texas for $17.1 million. The lease with Carpenter Hotel included two tenant repurchase options. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, the initial $16.25 million investment was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a commercial loan investment at the time of acquisition. The carrying value at the time of sale totaled $17.3 million.

On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into a preferred equity agreement to provide $30.0 million of funding towards the total investment in Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a grocery-anchored, mixed-use property located in Allen, Texas (the “Watters Creek Investment”). Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, and as further described in Note 7. “Investment in Joint Ventures,” the Company determined we are not the primary beneficiary of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment; accordingly, the $30.0 million was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a commercial loan investment at the time of acquisition. The Watters Creek Investment matures on April 6, 2025, has two one-year extension options, bears a fixed interest rate of 8.50% at the time of acquisition with increases during the initial term as well as the option terms, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. At closing, an origination fee of $0.15 million was received by the Company.  

On April 29, 2022, the Company originated a construction loan secured by the property and improvements to be constructed thereon for the WaterStar Residential and Retail project located in Kissimmee, Florida for $19.0 million. The construction loan matures on August 31, 2022, bears a fixed interest rate of 8.00%, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. At closing, an origination fee of $0.1 million was received by the Company. Funding of the loan will occur as the borrower completes the underlying construction. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had funded $16.1 million to the borrower, leaving a remaining commitment of $2.9 million.  

On May 9, 2022, the Company originated an improvement loan for a tenant at the Ashford Lane property located in Atlanta, Georgia for $1.5 million. The improvement loan matures on April 30, 2025, bears a fixed interest rate of 12.00%, until the location is open at which time the fixed interest rate will be 10.00%, and requires payments of interest only prior to maturity. Funding of the loan will occur as the borrower completes the underlying improvements. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had funded $1.1 million to the borrower, leaving a remaining commitment of $0.4 million.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES BUSINESS

Alpine Income Property Trust. Pursuant to the Company’s management agreement with PINE, the Company generates a base management fee equal to 0.375% per quarter of PINE’s total equity (as defined in the management agreement and based on a 1.5% annual rate), calculated and payable in cash, quarterly in arrears. The structure of the base fee provides the Company with an opportunity for the base fee to grow should PINE’s independent board members determine to raise additional equity capital in the future. The Company also has an opportunity to achieve additional cash flows as manager of PINE pursuant an annual incentive fee based on PINE’s total stockholder return exceeding an 8% cumulative annual hurdle rate (the “Outperformance Amount”) subject to a high-water mark price. PINE would pay the Company an incentive fee with respect to each annual measurement period in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $0.00 and (ii) the product of (a) 15% multiplied by (b) the Outperformance Amount multiplied by (c) the weighted average shares. No incentive fee was earned for the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned management fee revenue from PINE totaling $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company earned management fee revenue from PINE totaling $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Management fee revenue from PINE, included in management services, and dividend income, included in investment and other income (loss), are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

On November 26, 2019, as part of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of PINE on the NYSE, the Company sold PINE 15 properties for aggregate cash consideration of $125.9 million. In connection with the IPO, the Company contributed to the PINE Operating Partnership five properties in exchange for an aggregate of 1,223,854 OP Units, which had an initial value of $23.3 million. Additionally, on November 26, 2019, the Company purchased 394,737 shares of PINE common stock for a total purchase price of $7.5 million in a private placement and 421,053 shares of PINE common stock in the IPO for a total purchase price of $8.0 million.

On October 26, 2021, the Board authorized the purchase by the Company of up to $5.0 million in shares of common stock of PINE, at a weighted average price not to exceed $17.75 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 95,013 shares of PINE common stock on the open market for a total of $1.7 million, or an average price of $17.96 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 99,778 shares of PINE common stock on the open market for a total of $1.8 million, or an average price of $17.99 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company purchased 8,088 shares of PINE common stock on the open market for a total of $0.1 million, or an average price of $17.65 per share. As of June 30, 2022, CTO owns, in the aggregate, 1,223,854 OP Units and 923,656 shares of PINE common stock, representing an investment totaling $38.5 million, or 15.8% of PINE’s outstanding equity.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, PINE exercised its right, pursuant to an Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement between the Company and PINE (the “ROFO Agreement”), to purchase one single-tenant income property from the Company for a purchase price of $6.9 million, which sale was completed on January 7, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, PINE exercised its right to purchase the following properties from the Company pursuant to the ROFO Agreement: (i) a portfolio of six net leased properties (the “CMBS Portfolio”) for an aggregate purchase price of $44.5 million, and (ii) one single-tenant income property for a purchase price of $11.5 million.  In connection with the sale of the CMBS Portfolio, PINE assumed the related $30.0 million mortgage note payable which resulted in a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million due to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs. These sales were completed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Land JV. Prior to the Land JV Sale on December 10, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement for the Land JV, the initial amount of the management fee was $20,000 per month. The management fee was evaluated quarterly and as land sales occurred in the Land JV, the basis for the Company’s management fee was reduced as the management fee was based on the value of real property that remained in the Land JV. The monthly management fee as of June 30, 2021 was $10,000 per month. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company earned management fee revenue from the Land JV totaling $0.03 million and $0.06 million which is included in management fee income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and was collected in full during the period earned. As a result of the Land JV Sale, no management fee revenues were earned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Subsurface Interests. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owns 356,000 acres of Subsurface Interests. The Company leases certain of the Subsurface Interests to mineral exploration firms for exploration. The Company’s subsurface operations consist of revenue from the leasing of exploration rights and in some instances, additional revenues from royalties applicable to production from the leased acreage, which revenues are included within real estate operations in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold subsurface oil, gas, and mineral rights of 8,332 acres for a sales price of $0.5 million and 13,082 acres for a sales price of $0.9 million, respectively.

Revenues received from oil royalties totaled $0.03 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company is not prohibited from selling any or all of its Subsurface Interests. The Company may release surface entry rights or other rights upon request of a surface owner for a negotiated release fee typically based on a percentage of the surface value. Should the Company complete a transaction to sell all or a portion of its Subsurface Interests or complete a release transaction, the Company may utilize the like-kind exchange structure in acquiring one or more replacement investments including income-producing properties. Cash payments for the release of surface entry rights totaled $0.09 million and $0.05 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash payments for the release of surface entry rights totaled $0.11 million and $0.06 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Mitigation Credits. The Company owns mitigation credits and mitigation credit rights with an aggregate cost basis of $24.5 million and $24.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company completed the Interest Purchase, hereinafter defined in Note 7, “Investment in Joint Ventures”. As a result of the Interest Purchase, as of September 30, 2021, the Company owns 100% of the Mitigation Bank, and therefore its underlying assets, which includes an inventory of mitigation credits. Certain of the mitigation credits are currently available for sale with the remainder to become available as they are released to the Mitigation Bank by the applicable state and federal authorities pursuant to the completion of phases of the approved mitigation plans (“Mitigation Credit Rights”). At the time of the Interest Purchase on September 30, 2021, the Company’s cost basis in the newly acquired mitigation credits and Mitigation Credit Rights totaled $0.9 million and $21.6 million, respectively, which is comprised of (i) $15.6 million of the $18.0 million Interest Purchase allocated to the mitigation credit assets and (ii) the $6.9 million previously recorded value of the retained interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank.

Revenues and the cost of sales of mitigation credit sales are reported as revenues from, and direct costs of, real estate operations, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 1.96 credits were sold for an aggregate $0.2 million and related cost of sales of $0.1 million.

NOTE 7. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

The Company had no investments in joint ventures as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Watters Creek Investment. As described in Note 4. “Commercial Loans and Investments,” on April 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Watters Creek Investment. The Watters Creek Investment represents $30.0 million, or approximately 23%, of funding towards the total investment in Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm, a grocery-anchored, mixed-use property located in Allen, Texas (the “Watters Creek Property”). The remaining funding is comprised of a combination of third-party sponsorship equity and a secured first mortgage. The Company’s variable interest in the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment is primarily due to the inherent credit risk associated with the $30.0 million fixed-return preferred investment. The day-to-day operations, including asset management and leasing, of the Watters Creek Property are managed by an unrelated third-party. Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company determined we are not the primary beneficiary of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment; accordingly, the entity was not consolidated. The investment was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as a commercial loan investment at the time of acquisition. The significant factors related to this determination included, but were not limited to, the Company not having the power to direct the activities of the entity underlying the Watters Creek Investment due to (i) the day-to-day operations being managed by an unrelated third-party and (ii) the Company’s position as minority lender with fixed returns and maturity dates for the repayment of the $30.0 million preferred investment.

Land JV.  The Company’s previously held retained interest in the Land JV represented a notional 33.5% stake in the venture, the value of which was realized in the form of distributions based on the timing and the amount of proceeds achieved when the land was ultimately sold by the Land JV. On December 10, 2021, the Land JV completed the sale of all of its remaining land holdings.

The Company served as the manager of the Land JV and was responsible for day-to-day operations at the direction of the partners of the Land JV prior to the Land JV Sale. All major decisions and certain other actions that could be taken by the Company, as manager, were approved by the unanimous consent of the JV Partners. Pursuant to the Land JV’s operating agreement, the Land JV paid the Company, as manager, a management fee in the initial amount of $20,000 per month. The management fee was evaluated quarterly, and as land sales occurred in the Land JV, the basis for the Company’s management fee was reduced as the management fee was based on the value of real property that remained in the Land JV. The final monthly management fee was received in December 2021 and totaled $10,000.

Prior to the Land JV Sale, the investment in joint ventures on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included the Company’s previously held ownership interest in the Land JV. We concluded the Land JV to be a variable interest entity and therefore, it was accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company was not the primary beneficiary as defined in FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The significant factors related to this determination included, but were not limited to, the Land JV being jointly controlled by the members through the use of unanimous approval for all material actions. Under the guidance of FASB ASC 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company used the equity method to account for the Land JV investment.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized impairment charges on its previously held retained interest in the Land JV totaling $17.6 million. The aggregate $17.6 million impairment on the previously held retained interest in the Land JV is comprised of a $16.5 million charge during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and a $1.1 million charge during the three months ended December 31, 2021, which is a result of eliminating the investment in joint ventures based on the final proceeds received through distributions of the Land JV in connection with the Land JV Sale.

The following table provides summarized financial information of the Land JV for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (in thousands):

The Company’s share of the Land JV’s net loss was zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Pursuant to ASC 323, certain adjustments are made when calculating the Company’s share of net income (loss) of the Land JV, including adjustments required to reflect the investor’s share of changes in investee’s capital to reflect distributions from the Land JV. Additionally, basis differences are also considered. The Company recorded the initial retained interest in the Land JV of $48.9 million at the estimated fair market value based on the relationship of the $97.0 million sales price of the 66.5% equity interest to the 33.5% retained interest. The Land JV recorded the assets contributed by the Company at carry-over basis pursuant to ASC 845 which states that transfers of nonmonetary assets should typically be recorded at the transferor’s historical cost basis. Accordingly, the Company’s basis difference in the 33.5% retained equity interest was evaluated each quarter upon determining the Company’s share of the Land JV’s net income (loss). As a result of the Land JV Sale, the liquidation of the Land JV’s assets, and the dissolution of the underlying entities, such evaluation was no longer required subsequent to December 31, 2021.

Mitigation Bank. The mitigation bank transaction completed in June 2018 consisted of the sale of a 70% interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank (the “Mitigation Bank JV”). The purchaser of the 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank JV was comprised of certain funds and accounts managed by an investment advisor subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). The Company retained a 30% non-controlling interest in the Mitigation Bank JV. A third-party was retained by the Mitigation Bank JV as the day-to-day manager of the Mitigation Bank JV property, responsible for the maintenance, generation, tracking, and other aspects of wetland mitigation credits. Prior to September 30, 2021, the investment in joint ventures included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included $6.9 million related to the fair market value of the 30% retained interest in the Mitigation Bank JV.

On September 30, 2021, the Company, through a wholly owned and fully consolidated TRS, purchased the remaining 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank JV from BlackRock for $18.0 million (the “Interest Purchase”) resulting in a net cash payment by the Company of $16.1 million after utilizing the available cash in the Mitigation Bank JV of $1.9 million. As a result of the Interest Purchase, the Mitigation Bank JV is now wholly owned by the Company and is referred to as the Mitigation Bank. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, the Interest Purchase represents an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets, i.e. the mitigation credits and mitigation credit rights. Accordingly, the Company recorded the Interest Purchase by allocating the total cost of the asset group to the individual assets acquired. The Company’s total cost of the Interest Purchase totaled $24.9 million which is comprised of (i) the $18.0 million Interest Purchase and (ii) the $6.9 million previously recorded value of the retained interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank. In connection with the Interest Purchase, the previously recorded value of $6.9 million of the retained interest was eliminated and the $24.9 million total cost was allocated as follows: (i) $1.8 million to cash and cash equivalents, (ii) $0.6 million to restricted cash, (iii) $0.9 million to the mitigation credits, and (iv) $21.6 million to the mitigation credit rights.

During the period from June 2018 through the date of the Interest Purchase on September 30, 2021, the operations of the Mitigation Bank JV are summarized as follows. The operating agreement of the Mitigation Bank JV (the “Operating Agreement”) was executed in conjunction with the mitigation bank transaction and stipulated that the Company should have arranged for sales of the Mitigation Bank JV’s mitigation credits to unrelated third parties totaling no less than $6.0 million of revenue to the Mitigation Bank JV, net of commissions, by the end of 2020, utilizing a maximum of 60 mitigation credits (the “Minimum Sales Requirement”). The Operating Agreement stipulated that if the Minimum Sales Requirement was not achieved, then BlackRock had the right, but was not required, to cause the Company to purchase the number of mitigation credits necessary to reach the Minimum Sales Requirement (the “Minimum Sales Guarantee”). As a result of not having achieved the Minimum Sales Requirement prior to December 31, 2020, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had active discussions with BlackRock whereby BlackRock did not cause the Company to effectuate the Minimum Sales Guarantee; rather, the Company purchased the remaining 70% interest in the Mitigation Bank JV from BlackRock.

Additionally, basis differences are also considered. The Company recorded the initial retained interest in the Mitigation Bank JV of $6.8 million in June 2018 at the estimated fair market value based on the relationship of the $15.3 million sales price of the 70% equity interest to the 30% retained interest. The Mitigation Bank JV recorded the assets contributed by the Company at carry-over basis pursuant to ASC 845 which states that transfers of nonmonetary assets should typically be recorded at the transferor’s historical cost basis. Accordingly, the Company’s basis difference in the 30% retained equity interest was evaluated each quarter upon determining the Company’s share of the Mitigation Bank JV’s net income (loss).

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

There were no impairment charges on the Company’s income property portfolio during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. The $16.5 million impairment charge recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was related to the Company’s previously held retained interest in the Land JV as a result of the estimated proceeds to be received in connection with the contract entered into with Timberline Acquisition Partners, an affiliate of Timberline Real Estate Partners (“Timberline”). The sale to Timberline closed on December 10, 2021.

Income Property Straight-Line Rent Adjustment. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the straight-line rent adjustment includes a balance of $0.1 million of deferred rent related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Pursuant to the interpretive guidance issued by the FASB in April 2020 on lease modifications, for leases in which deferred rent agreements were reached, the Company has continued to account for the lease concessions by recognizing the normal straight-line rental income and as the deferred rents are repaid by the tenant, the straight-line receivable will be reduced.

Infrastructure Reimbursement Receivables. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the infrastructure reimbursement receivables were all related to the land sales within the Tomoka Town Center. The balance as of June 30, 2022 consisted of $0.8 million due from Tanger for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in five remaining annual installments of approximately $0.2 million each, net of a discount of $0.1 million, and $0.3 million due from Sam’s Club for infrastructure reimbursement to be repaid in three remaining annual installments of $0.1 million each, net of a discount of $0.02 million.

ATM PROGRAM

On April 30, 2021, the Company implemented a $150.0 million “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, shares of the Company’s common stock.  During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold 88,065 shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $5.8 million at a weighted average price of $66.03 per share, generating net proceeds of $5.7 million after deducting transaction fees totaling less than $0.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold 131,858 shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $8.7 million at a weighted average price of $65.84 per share, generating net proceeds of $8.6 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.1 million.

DIVIDENDS

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate U.S. federal income taxes payable by the Company. Because taxable income differs from cash flow from operations due to non-cash revenues and expenses (such as depreciation and other items), in certain circumstances, the Company may generate operating cash flow in excess of its dividends, or alternatively, may need to make dividend payments in excess of operating cash flows.

2025 NOTES

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 whereby diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact of the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined) using the if-converted method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a $7.0 million adjustment to reduce additional paid-in capital to eliminate the non-cash equity component of the 2025 Notes with  corresponding offsets including (i) a $4.0 million cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and (ii) a $3.0 million adjustment to eliminate the non-cash portion of the convertible notes discount, net of accumulated amortization (the “2025 Notes Adjustment”). The 2025 Notes Adjustment was made on January 1, 2022 and is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 14. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders during the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the assumption of the conversion of stock options and vesting of restricted stock at the beginning of each period using the treasury stock method at average cost for the periods. Effective as of January 1, 2022, diluted earnings per common share also reflects the 2025 Notes on an if-converted basis.

As applicable, includes interest expense, amortization of discount, amortization of fees, and other changes in net income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion. For the three and six months ended June 30 2022, a total of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, was not included, as the impact of the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined), if-converted, would be antidilutive to the net income of under $0.1 million and the net loss of $1.0 million, for the respective periods.

(2)

A total of 1.0 million shares representing the dilutive impact of the Company’s 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined), upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 because they were antidilutive to the net income of under $0.1 million and the net loss of $1.0 million, for the respective periods.

There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021 related to the Company’s stock options and restricted stock. The effect of 13,332 and 37,552 potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units were not included for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 whereby diluted EPS includes the dilutive impact, if any, of the 2025 Notes (hereinafter defined) using the if-converted method, irrespective of intended cash settlement. The Company intends to settle its 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) in cash upon conversion with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. The Company elected, upon adoption, to utilize the modified retrospective approach, negating the required restatement of EPS for periods prior to adoption. The Company overcame the presumption of share settlement prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, and therefore, there was no dilutive impact for the year ended December 31, 2021. The effect of 1.0 million potentially dilutive 2025 Notes, if-converted, were not included for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 15. SHARE REPURCHASES

In February 2020, the Company’s Board approved a $10.0 million stock repurchase program (the “$10.0 Million Repurchase Program”). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 88,565 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $4.1 million, or an average price per share of $46.29. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 40,553 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $2.2 million, or an average price per share of $54.48. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 20,010 shares of its common stock on the open market for a total cost of $1.1 million, or an average price per share of $57.37. There were no repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. The $10.0 Million Repurchase Program has $2.6 million remaining and does not have an expiration date.

Credit Facility. The Credit Facility, with Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) as the administrative agent for the lenders thereunder, is unsecured with regard to our income property portfolio but is guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility bank group is led by BMO and also includes Truist Bank and Wells Fargo. On September 7, 2017, the Company executed the second amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility (the “2017 Amended Credit Facility”). As a result of the March 2021 Revolver Amendment, as defined below, The Huntington National Bank was added as a lender to the Company’s Credit Facility.

On May 24, 2019, the Company executed the second amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “May 2019 Revolver Amendment”). As a result of the May 2019 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility had a total borrowing capacity of $200.0 million with the ability to increase that capacity up to $300.0 million during the term, subject to lender approval. The Credit Facility provides the lenders with a security interest in the equity of the Company subsidiaries that own the properties included in the borrowing base. The indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate ranging from the 30-day LIBOR plus 135 basis points to the 30-day LIBOR plus 195 basis points based on the total balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as a percentage of the total asset value of the Company, as defined in the 2017 Amended Credit Facility, as amended by the May 2019 Revolver Amendment. The Credit Facility also accrues a fee of 15 to 25 basis points for any unused portion of the borrowing capacity based on whether the unused portion is greater or less than 50% of the total borrowing capacity. Pursuant to the May 2019 Revolver Amendment, the Credit Facility matures on May 24, 2023, with the ability to extend the term for 1 year.

On November 26, 2019, the Company entered into the third amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “November 2019 Revolver Amendment”), which further amends the 2017 Amended Credit Facility. The November 2019 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, an adjustment of certain financial maintenance covenants, including a temporary reduction of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to allow the Company to redeploy the proceeds received from the sale of certain income properties to PINE,  and an increase in the maximum amount the Company may invest in stock and stock equivalents of real estate investment trusts to allow the Company to invest in PINE’s common stock and OP Units.

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “July 2020 Revolver Amendment”) whereby the tangible net worth covenant was adjusted to be more reflective of market terms. The July 2020 Revolver Amendment was effective as of March 31, 2020.

On November 12, 2020, the Company entered into the fifth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “November 2020 Revolver Amendment”). The November 2020 Revolver Amendment provided that, among other things, (i) the Company must comply with certain adjusted additional financial maintenance requirements, including (x) a new

28

restricted payments covenant which limits the type and amount of cash distributions that may be made by the Company and (y) an adjusted fix charges ratio, which now excludes certain onetime expenses for purposes of calculation and (ii) the Company must, from and after the date that the Company elects to qualify as a REIT, maintain its status as a REIT.  

On March 10, 2021, the Company entered into the sixth amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “March 2021 Revolver Amendment”). The March 2021 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, (i) increase of the revolving credit commitment from $200.0 million to $210.0 million, (ii) addition of the 2026 Term Loan in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million, (iii) updates to certain financing rate provisions provided therein, and (iv) joinder of The Huntington National Bank as a 2026 Term Loan lender and Credit Facility lender. The March 2021 Revolver Amendment also includes accordion options that allow the Company to request additional 2026 Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $150.0 million and additional Credit Facility lender commitments up to a total of $300.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company exercised the 2026 Term Loan accordion option for $15.0 million, increasing total lender commitments to $65.0 million.

On November 5, 2021, the Company entered into the seventh amendment to the 2017 Amended Credit Facility (the “November 2021 Revolver Amendment”). The November 2021 Revolver Amendment included, among other things, (i) addition of the 2027 Term Loan in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million and (ii) joinder of KeyBank National Association, Raymond James Bank, and Synovus Bank as 2027 Term Loan lenders. The November 2021 Revolver Amendment also includes an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional term loan lender commitments up to a total of $400.0 million in the aggregate.

At June 30, 2022, the current commitment level under the Credit Facility was $210.0 million. The undrawn commitment under the Credit Facility totaled $99.0 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Credit Facility had a $111.0 million balance outstanding.

The Credit Facility is subject to customary restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the Company’s ability to: (a) incur indebtedness; (b) make certain investments; (c) incur certain liens; (d) engage in certain affiliate transactions; and (e) engage in certain major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial maintenance covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum indebtedness ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative covenants and events of default including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Company’s other indebtedness and upon the occurrence of a change in control. The Company’s failure to comply with these covenants or the occurrence of an event of default could result in acceleration of the Company’s debt and other financial obligations under the Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable. On March 3, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of Price Plaza Shopping Center, the Company assumed an existing $17.8 million secured fixed-rate mortgage note payable, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.06% and matures in August 2026.

Convertible Debt. The Company’s $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Convertible Notes (the “2020 Notes”) were scheduled to mature on March 15, 2020; however, the Company completed the Note Exchanges, hereinafter defined, on February 4, 2020. The initial conversion rate was 14.5136 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of the 2020 Notes, which represented an initial conversion price of $68.90 per share of common stock.

On February 4, 2020, the Company closed privately negotiated exchange agreements with certain holders of its outstanding 2020 Notes pursuant to which the Company issued $57.4 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes in exchange for $57.4 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes (the “Note Exchanges”).  In addition, the Company closed a privately negotiated purchase agreement with an investor, who had not invested in the 2020 Notes, and issued $17.6 million principal amount of the 2025 Notes (the “New Notes Placement,” and together with the Note Exchanges, the “Convert Transactions”). The Company used $5.9 million of the proceeds from the New Notes Placement to repurchase $5.9 million of the 2020 Notes. As a result of the Convert Transactions there was a total of $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes outstanding.

In exchange for issuing the 2025 Notes pursuant to the Note Exchanges, the Company received and cancelled the exchanged 2020 Notes. The $11.7 million of net proceeds from the New Notes Placement were used to redeem at maturity on March 15, 2020 $11.7 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes that remained outstanding.

29

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $12.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $2.6 million discount, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased $11.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes at a $1.6 million premium, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.9 million. Following these repurchases, $51.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding at June 30, 2022.  

The 2025 Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 15th and October 15th, commencing on April 15, 2020, at a rate of 3.875% per annum. The 2025 Notes mature on April 15, 2025 and may not be redeemed by the Company prior to the maturity date. The conversion rate for the 2025 Notes was initially 12.7910 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 of principal of the 2025 Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $78.18 per share of the Company’s common stock). The initial conversion price of the 2025 Notes represented a premium of 20% to the $65.15 closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on January 29, 2020. If the Company’s Board increases the quarterly dividend above the $0.13 per share in place at issuance, the conversion rate is adjusted with each such increase in the quarterly dividend amount. After the second quarter 2022 dividend, the conversion rate is equal to 20.0390 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of $49.90 per share of common stock. See Note 25. “Subsequent Events” for the conversion rate effective July 1, 2022 including the effect of the three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock. At the maturity date, the 2025 Notes are convertible into cash, common stock or a combination thereof, subject to various conditions, at the Company’s option. Should certain corporate transactions or events occur prior to the stated maturity date, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2025 Notes in connection with such corporate transaction or event.

The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders may not surrender their 2025 Notes for conversion prior to January 15, 2025 except upon the occurrence of certain conditions relating to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, or specified corporate events including a change in control of the Company. The Company may not redeem the 2025 Notes prior to the stated maturity date and no sinking fund is provided for the 2025 Notes. The 2025 Notes are convertible, at the election of the Company, into solely cash, solely shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company intends to settle the 2025 Notes in cash upon conversion, with any excess conversion value to be settled in shares of our common stock. At time of issuance, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the 2025 Notes were accounted for as a liability with a separate equity component recorded for the conversion option. The equity component was eliminated on January 1, 2022 with the 2025 Notes Adjustment.

As of June 30, 2022, the unamortized debt discount of our 2025 Notes was $0.4 million, which represents the cash component of the discount.

NOTE 17. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from fluctuating interest rates related to the below noted borrowings.

Reserve for Tenant Improvements. In connection with recent acquisitions, the Company received an aggregate of $6.7 million from the sellers of certain properties for tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and other capital improvements. These amounts are included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.  Through June 30, 2022, payments totaling $2.5 million were made, leaving a remaining reserve for tenant improvements of $4.2 million.

Environmental Reserve. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company accrued an environmental reserve of $0.1 million in connection with an estimate of additional costs required to monitor a parcel of less than one acre of land owned by the Company in Highlands County, Florida, on which environmental remediation work had previously been performed. The Company engaged legal counsel who, in turn, engaged environmental engineers to review the site and the prior monitoring test results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, their review was completed, and the Company made an additional accrual of $0.5 million, representing the low end of the range of possible costs estimated by the engineers to be between $0.5 million and $1.0 million to resolve this matter subject to the approval of the state department of environmental protection (the “FDEP”). The FDEP issued a Remedial Action Plan Modification Approval Order (the “FDEP Approval”) in August 2016 which supports the approximate $0.5 million accrual made in 2015. The Company is implementing the remediation plan pursuant to the FDEP Approval. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made an additional accrual of less than $0.1 million for the second year of monitoring as the low end of the original range of estimated costs was increased for the amount of monitoring now anticipated. Since the total accrual of $0.7 million was made, $0.6 million in costs have been incurred through June 30, 2022, leaving a remaining accrual of less than $0.1 million.

Performance Share Awards – Peer Group Market Condition Vesting

Performance shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. The performance share awards entitle the recipient to receive, upon the vesting thereof, shares of common stock of the Company equal to between 0% and 150% of the number of performance shares awarded. The number of shares of common stock ultimately received by

33

Table of Contents

the award recipient is determined based on the Company’s total stockholder return as compared to the total stockholder return of a certain peer group during a three-year performance period. The Company granted a total of 23,056 performance shares during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to determine the fair value of its awards that are based on market conditions. The determination of the fair value of market condition-based awards is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the requisite performance term of the awards, the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and stockholder returns to companies in its peer group, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the achievement of the market conditions, provided the requisite service period is met.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the non-vested performance share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.0 years.

A summary of the activity for these awards during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is presented below:

Three Year Vest Restricted Shares

Restricted shares have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. One-third of the restricted shares will vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of January 28 of the applicable year provided the grantee is an employee of the Company on those dates. In addition, any unvested portion of the restricted shares will vest upon a change in control. The Company granted a total of 23,446 shares of three-year restricted Company common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company’s determination of the fair value of the three-year vest restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the number of shares issued by the Company’s stock price at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

As of June 30, 2022, there was $2.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to the three-year vest non-vested restricted share awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Non-Qualified Stock Option Awards

Stock option awards have been granted to certain employees under the 2010 Plan. The vesting period of the options awards granted ranged from a period of one to three years. All options had vested as of December 31, 2018. The option expires on the earliest of: (a) the tenth anniversary of the grant date; (b) twelve months after the employee’s death or termination for disability; or (c) thirty days after the termination of employment for any reason other than death or disability.

The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation pricing model to determine the fair value of its non-qualified stock option awards. The determination of the fair value of the awards is affected by the stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of other variables. These variables include expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, annual dividends, and a risk-free interest rate assumption.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION

Each member of the Company’s Board of Directors has the option to receive his or her annual retainer and meeting fees in shares of Company common stock rather than cash. The number of shares awarded to the directors making such election is calculated quarterly by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the amount of the quarterly retainer payment due to such director plus (B) meeting fees earned by such director during the quarter, by (ii) the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the date two business days prior to the date of the award, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares.

Each non-employee director serving as of the beginning of each calendar year shall receive an annual award of the Company’s common stock. The value of such award totaled $35,000 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (the “Annual Award”). The number of shares awarded is calculated based on the trailing 20-day average price of the Company’s common stock as of the date two business days prior to the date of the award, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. Commencing in 2021, non-employee directors will no longer receive meeting fees, but will receive additional retainers for service on Board committees, as set forth in the Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy available on the Company’s website (www.ctoreit.com).

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the expense recognized for the value of the Company’s common stock received by non-employee directors totaled $0.4 million, or 6,001 shares, on a pre-stock split basis, and $0.4 million, or 7,624 shares, respectively. The expense recognized includes the Annual Award received during the first quarter of each respective year, which totaled $0.2 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 21. INCOME TAXES

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. The Company believes that, commencing with such taxable year, it has been organized and has operated in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws. The Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation at corporate rates on its net taxable income; the Company, however, may claim a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its stockholders. Amounts distributed as dividends by the Company will be subject to taxation at the stockholder level only. While the Company must distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to distribute all of its net taxable income. The Company is allowed certain other non-cash deductions or adjustments, such as depreciation expense, when computing its REIT taxable income and distribution requirement. These deductions permit the Company to reduce its dividend payout requirement under U.S. federal income tax laws. Certain states may impose minimum franchise taxes. To comply with certain REIT requirements, the Company holds certain of its non-REIT assets and operations through TRSs and subsidiaries of TRSs, which will be subject to applicable U.S. federal, state and local corporate income tax on their taxable income. For the periods presented, the Company held a total of two TRSs subject to taxation. The Company’s TRSs will file tax returns separately as C-Corporations.

As a result of the Company’s election to be taxed as a REIT, during the year ended December 31, 2020, an $82.5 million deferred tax benefit was recorded to de-recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the entities included in the REIT. A significant portion of the deferred tax benefit recognized related to the de-recognition of deferred tax liabilities resulting from Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchanges (“1031 Exchanges”). The Company will be subject to corporate income taxes related to assets held by it that are sold during the 5-year period following the date of conversion to the extent such sold assets had a built-in gain as of January 1, 2020. The Company has disposed of certain, primarily single-tenant, REIT assets after the REIT conversion within the 5-year period. All such sales were completed using 1031 Exchanges or other deferred tax structures to mitigate the built-in gain tax liability of conversion.

NOTE 22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

property operations accounted for 81.9% and 86.0% of our identifiable assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and 86.0% and 79.4% of our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, our commercial loans and investments portfolio consisted of five commercial loan investments, one commercial property whose lease is classified as a commercial loan investment, and one preferred equity investment which is classified as a commercial loan investment. Our real estate operations consist of revenues generated from the sale of and royalty income related to our interests in subsurface oil, gas, and mineral rights, and the generation and sale of mitigation credits.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating income. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products. They are managed separately because each segment requires different management techniques, knowledge, and skills.

NOTE 25. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company reviewed all subsequent events and transactions through July 28, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Stock Split

On April 27, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a three-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock to be effected in the form of a stock dividend. Each stockholder of record at the close of business on June 27, 2022 (the “Record Date”), received two additional shares of the Company’s common stock for each share held as of the Record Date. The new shares were distributed after the market closed on June 30, 2022. The Company’s stock began trading at the post-split price on July 1, 2022 and the number of common shares issued and outstanding increased from 6,082,626 as of June 30, 2022 to 18,247,878 as a result of the stock split.

Additionally, as a result of the stock split, effective July 1, 2022, the conversion rate on the Company’s 2025 Notes is equal to 60.1171 shares of common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Notes, which represents an adjusted conversion price of $16.63 per share of common stock.

Property Acquisition

On July 8, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Madison Yards, a 162,500 square foot property located in the Inman Park/Reynoldstown submarket along the Memorial Drive corridor of Atlanta, Georgia for a purchase price of $80.2 million. The purchase price represents a going-in cap rate below the range of the Company’s guidance for initial cash yields. The acquisition was funded using $17.5 million of restricted cash generated from the Company’s previously completed property dispositions, available unrestricted cash, and draws from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The acquisition was structured as a reverse like-kind exchange in order to account for possible future dispositions of income properties by the Company.

There were no other reportable subsequent events or transactions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” we mean CTO Realty Growth, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Notes to Financial Statements” refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of CTO Realty Growth, Inc. included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Also, when the Company uses any of the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” or similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. Management believes the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon present expectations and reasonable assumptions. However, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.  The risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to, the following:  

we are subject to risks related to the ownership of commercial real estate that could affect the performance and value of our properties;
our business is dependent upon our tenants successfully operating their businesses, and their failure to do so could materially and adversely affect us;
competition that traditional retail tenants face from e-commerce retail sales, or the integration of brick and mortar stores with e-commerce retail operators, could adversely affect our business;
we operate in a highly competitive market for the acquisition of income properties and more established entities or other investors may be able to compete more effectively for acquisition opportunities than we can;
the loss of revenues from our income property portfolio or certain tenants would adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows;
our revenues include receipt of management fees and potentially incentive fees derived from our provision of management services to Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (“PINE”)  and the loss or failure, or decline in the business or assets, of PINE could substantially reduce our revenues;

OVERVIEW

We are a publicly traded, primarily retail-focused, REIT that was founded in 1910. We own and manage, sometimes utilizing third-party property management companies, 21 commercial real estate properties in nine states in the United States. As of June 30, 2022, we owned seven single-tenant and 14 multi-tenant income-producing properties comprising 2.8 million square feet of gross leasable space.

In addition to our income property portfolio, as of June 30, 2022, our business included the following:

Management Services:

A fee-based management business that is engaged in managing PINE, see Note 5, “Related Party Management Services Business”.

Commercial Loan and Master Lease Investments:

A portfolio of five commercial loan investments, one commercial property, which is included in the 21 commercial real estate properties above, whose lease is classified as commercial loan investment, and one preferred equity investment which is classified as a commercial loan investment.

Real Estate Operations:

A portfolio of subsurface mineral interests associated with approximately 356,000 surface acres in 19 counties in the State of Florida (“Subsurface Interests”); and

An inventory of historically owned mitigation credits as well as mitigation credits produced by the Company’s mitigation bank. The mitigation bank owns a 2,500 acre parcel of land in the western part of Daytona Beach, Florida and, pursuant to a mitigation plan approved by the applicable state and federal authorities, produces mitigation credits that are sold to developers of land in the Daytona Beach area for the purpose of enabling the developers to obtain certain regulatory permits for property development (the “Mitigation Bank”). Prior to the Interest Purchase (defined in Note 7, “Investment in Joint Ventures”) completed on September 30, 2021, the Company held a 30% retained interest in the entity that owns the Mitigation Bank.

Our business also includes our investment in PINE. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our investment totaled $38.5 million, or 15.8% of PINE’s outstanding equity, including the units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) we hold in Alpine Income Property OP, LP (the “PINE Operating Partnership”), which are redeemable for cash, based upon the value of an equivalent number of shares of PINE common stock at the time of the redemption, or shares of PINE

40

Table of Contents

common stock on a one-for-one basis, at PINE’s election. Our investment in PINE generates investment income through the dividends distributed by PINE. In addition to the dividends we receive from PINE, our investment in PINE may benefit from any appreciation in PINE’s stock price, although no assurances can be provided that such appreciation will occur, the amount by which our investment will increase in value, or the timing thereof. Any dividends received from PINE are included in investment and other income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

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

We believe investment in income-producing assets provides attractive opportunities for generally stable cash flows and increased returns over the long run through potential capital appreciation. Our focus on acquiring income-producing investments includes a continual review of our existing income property portfolio to identify opportunities to recycle our capital through the sale of income properties based on, among other possible factors, the current or expected performance of the property and favorable market conditions. We sold two single-tenant income properties, one of which was classified as a commercial loan investment due to tenant repurchase options, during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a result of entering into the Exclusivity and Right of First Offer Agreement with PINE (the “ROFO Agreement”) which generally prevents us from investing in single-tenant net lease income properties, our income property investment strategy is focused on multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties. We may pursue this strategy by monetizing certain of our single-tenant properties, and should we do so, we would seek to utilize the 1031 like-kind exchange structure to preserve the tax-deferred gain on the original transaction(s) that pertains to the replacement asset.

Our current portfolio of seven single-tenant income properties generates $9.1 million of revenues from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.3 years as of June 30, 2022. Our current portfolio of 14 multi-tenant properties generates $45.8 million of revenue from annualized straight-line base lease payments and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 6.7 years as of June 30, 2022.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $19.5 million, compared to $14.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to increased income produced by the Company’s recent income property acquisitions versus that of properties disposed of by the Company during the comparative period, in addition to the increased management fee income from PINE and increased income from

Table of Contents

commercial loans and investments. These increases were offset by decreased revenue from real estate operations due to fewer sales of Subsurface Interests, as further described below.

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $16.4 million and $11.6 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to total revenue and operating income of $11.6 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $4.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in revenues of $4.8 million, or 41.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the overall growth of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues, offset by an increase of $2.0 million in our direct costs of revenues which is also related to the overall growth of the Company’s income property portfolio.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from our management services totaled $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, including $0.7 million and $0.03 million earned from PINE and the Land JV, respectively.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $1.3 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is due to increased income from the investments made during the three months ended June 30, 2022, including two construction loans and the Watters Creek Investment, as defined in Note 4. “Commercial Loans and Investments”, which were partially offset by decreased income from one commercial property which was sold during the first quarter of 2022 which was accounted for as a commercial loan investment due to future repurchase rights.

Real Estate Operations

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, operating income from real estate operations was $0.6 million on revenues totaling $0.9 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, operating income from real estate operations was $0.7 million on revenues totaling $1.2 million. The total decrease in operating income was $0.1 million of which $0.2 million of the decrease was due to fewer Subsurface Interest sales. This $0.2 million decrease was partially offset by the Company’s sale of 1.96 mitigation credits for an aggregate sales price of $0.2 million and related cost of sales of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, with no such mitigation credit sales during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization totaled $6.7 million and $5.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase of $1.7 million is primarily due to the overall growth in the Company’s income property portfolio.

Gains (Losses) and Impairment Charges

2022 Dispositions. No income properties were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

2021 Dispositions. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company sold eight income properties, including (i) Burlington, a single-tenant income property located in North Richland Hills, Texas for $11.5 million resulting in a $0.1 million gain, (ii) Staples, a single-tenant income property located in Sarasota, Florida for $4.7 million resulting in a $0.7 million gain, and (iii) the CMBS Portfolio, sold to PINE, consisting of six single-tenant income properties for $44.5 million resulting in a $3.9 million gain. The sale of the properties reflect a total disposition volume of $60.7 million, resulting in aggregate gains of $4.7 million.

Impairment Charges. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s undeveloped land holdings, or its income property portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The $16.5 million impairment charge, net of the $4.1 million related income tax benefit, recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was related to the Company’s previously held retained interest in the Land JV as a result of the estimated proceeds to be received in connection with the contract entered into with Timberline Acquisition Partners, an affiliate of Timberline Real Estate Partners (“Timberline”). The sale to Timberline closed on December 10, 2021.

Investment and Other Income (Loss)

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the closing stock price of PINE decreased by $0.88 per share, with a closing price of $17.92 on June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the closing stock price of PINE increased by $1.66 per share, with a closing price of $19.02 on June 30, 2021. The change in stock price resulted in an unrealized, non-cash gain (loss) on the Company’s investment in PINE of ($1.8) million and $3.4 million which is included in investment and other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $0.6 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $2.3 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The decrease of $0.1 million resulted primarily from (i) the net decrease in long-term debt outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which is primarily driven by the use of proceeds received from the Series A Preferred Stock offering, (ii) the disposition of the CMBS Portfolio under which the buyer assumed a $30.0 million fixed-rate mortgage note, and (iii) the repurchase of $11.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes. These decreases in debt were partially offset by increases in debt related to (i) the $17.8 million mortgage loan assumed in connection with the acquisition of Price Plaza and (ii) the $100.0 million 2027 Term Loan.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to a net loss of $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net income is attributable to the factors described above.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $36.7 million, compared to $29.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in total revenue is primarily attributable to increased income produced by the Company’s recent income property acquisitions versus that of properties disposed of by the Company during the comparative period, in addition to the increased management fee income from PINE and increased income from commercial loans and investments. These increases were offset by decreased revenue from real estate operations due to fewer sales of Subsurface Interests, as further described below.

Income Properties

Revenue and operating income from our income property operations totaled $31.5 million and $22.7 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to total revenue and operating income of $23.0 million and $17.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The direct costs of revenues for our income property operations totaled $8.8 million and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in revenues of $8.5 million, or 37.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily related to the overall growth of the Company’s income property portfolio, as well as the timing of acquisitions versus dispositions. The increase in operating income from our income property operations reflects increased rent revenues, offset by an increase of $3.1 million in our direct costs of revenues which is also related to the overall growth of the Company’s income property portfolio.

Management Services

Revenue from our management services from PINE totaled $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue from our management services totaled $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, including $1.4 million and $0.06 million earned from PINE and the Land JV, respectively.

Commercial Loans and Investments

Interest income from our commercial loans and investments totaled $2.0 million and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is due to increased income from the investments made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, including three construction loans and the Watters Creek Investment, as defined in Note 4. “Commercial Loans and Investments”, which were partially offset by decreased income from one commercial property which was sold during the first quarter of 2022, which was accounted for as a commercial loan investment due to future repurchase rights.

Gains (Losses) and Impairment Charges

2022 Dispositions.

The sale of the properties reflect a total disposition volume of $65.5 million, resulting in aggregate gains of $5.3 million.

Impairment Charges. There were no impairment charges on the Company’s undeveloped land holdings, or its income property portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The $16.5 million impairment charge, net of the $4.1 million related income tax benefit, recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was related to the Company’s previously held retained interest in the Land JV as a result of the estimated proceeds to be received in connection with the contract entered into with Timberline Acquisition Partners, an affiliate of Timberline Real Estate Partners (“Timberline”). The sale to Timberline closed on December 10, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the closing stock price of PINE increased by $4.03 per share, with a closing price of $19.02 on June 30, 2021.

The Company earned dividend income from the investment in PINE of $1.1 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

45

Table of Contents

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $4.2 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The decrease of $0.7 resulted primarily from (i) the net decrease in long-term debt outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which is primarily driven by the use of proceeds received from the Series A Preferred Stock offering, (ii) the payoff of the Company’s $23.2 million variable-rate mortgage note, (iii) the disposition of the CMBS Portfolio under which the buyer assumed a $30.0 million fixed-rate mortgage note, and (iv) the repurchase of $11.4 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes. These decreases in debt were partially offset by increases in debt related to (i) the $17.8 million mortgage loan assumed in connection with the acquisition of Price Plaza and (ii) the $100.0 million 2027 Term Loan.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to net income of $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net income is attributable to the factors described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.1 million at June 30, 2022, while restricted cash totaled $27.2 million, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the heading Restricted Cash for the Company’s disclosure related to its restricted cash balance at June 30, 2022.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $22.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022,  compared to cash flows provided by operating activities totaling $18.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $4.1 million. The increase of $4.1 million is primarily related to the increase in the cash flows provided by income properties, which is the result of the overall growth of the Company’s income property portfolio. The cash flows provided by operating activities was also impacted by more cash flows from the Company’s management fee income and interest income from commercial loans and investments, offset by the decrease in the Company’s cash flows from real estate operations.

Our cash flows used in investing activities totaled $54.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $80.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease in cash outflows of $26.1 million. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily related to $56.9 million less cash utilized to fund income property acquisitions, net of proceeds from income property dispositions, during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The $56.9 million reduction in cash outflows related to net income property acquisitions is largely offset by a $29.3 million increase in cash utilized to fund commercial loan and investments including three construction loans and the Watters Creek Investment, net of proceeds received from the sale of the Carpenter Hotel ground lease located in Austin, Texas, which was classified as a commercial loan investment due to future tenant repurchase rights.

Our cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $34.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease in cash inflows of $12.1 million. The decrease of $12.1 million is primarily related to a $16.5 million decrease in cash flows provided by debt activity comprised of (i) $44.0 million of cash inflows related to the Company’s net borrowings on long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2022 less (ii) $60.5 million of cash inflows related to the Company’s net borrowings on long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $16.5 million decrease in debt borrowings was offset by an increase in cash outflows of $3.8 million related to dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year and an increase in cash outflows of $1.1 million of repurchases of the Company’s common stock. Cash flows from financing activities also benefitted from cash inflows of $8.6 million of net proceeds received from the sale of 131,858 shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2022, with no such activity during the same period in 2021.

Long-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $99.0 million undrawn commitment under the Credit Facility. See Note 16, “Long-Term Debt” for the Company’s disclosure related to its long-term debt balance at June 30, 2022.

Acquisitions and Investments. As noted previously, the Company acquired one multi-tenant income property during the six months ended June 30, 2022 for a purchase price of $39.1 million, as further described in Note 3, “Income Properties”.

The Company’s guidance for 2022 investments in income-producing properties totals between $250.0 million and $275.0 million. We expect to fund future acquisitions utilizing cash on hand, cash from operations, proceeds from the dispositions of income properties through 1031 like-kind exchanges, and potentially the sale of all or a portion of our Subsurface Interests, and borrowings on our Credit Facility, if available. We expect dispositions of income properties and subsurface interests will qualify under the like-kind exchange deferred-tax structure, and additional financing sources.

Dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold two single-tenant income properties for a total disposition volume of $24.0 million, one of which was classified as a commercial loan investment due to two tenant repurchase options, as further described in Note 3, “Income Properties”.

ATM Program.  During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company sold 131,858 shares under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $8.7 million at a weighted average price of $65.84 per share, generating net proceeds of $8.6 million after deducting transaction fees totaling $0.1 million.

Contractual Commitments – Expenditures.

The Company has committed to fund the following capital improvements. The improvements, which are related to several properties, are estimated to be generally completed within twelve months. These commitments, as of June 30, 2022, are as follows (in thousands):

In addition, the Company is committed to fund the three construction loans as described in Note 4. Commercial Loans and Investments. The unfunded portion of the construction loans totaled $12.1 million as of June 30, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. None.

Other Matters. We believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations, capital requirements, maintenance, and debt service requirements over the next twelve months and into the foreseeable future, with cash on hand, cash flow from our operations, $141.3 million of availability remaining under the ATM Program, and $99.0 million undrawn commitment under the existing $210.0 million Credit Facility as of June 30, 2022.

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

We believe that we currently have a reasonable level of leverage. Our strategy is to utilize leverage, when appropriate and necessary, and proceeds from sales of income properties, the disposition or payoffs on our commercial loan and master lease investments, and certain transactions in our subsurface interests, to acquire income properties. We may also acquire or originate commercial loan and master lease investments, invest in securities of real estate companies, or make other shorter-term investments. Our targeted investment classes may include the following:

Multi-tenant, primarily retail-oriented, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets, typically stabilized;

47

Table of Contents

Single-tenant retail or other commercial, double or triple net leased, properties in major metropolitan areas and growth markets that are compliant with our commitments under the PINE ROFO Agreement;
Ground leases, whether purchased or originated by the Company, that are compliant with our commitments under the ROFO Agreement;
Self-developed retail or other commercial properties;
Commercial loan and master lease investments, whether purchased or originated by the Company, with loan terms of 1-10 years with strong risk-adjusted yields secured by property types to include hotel, retail, residential, land and industrial;
Select regional area investments using Company market knowledge and expertise to earn strong risk-adjusted yields; and
Real estate-related investment securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, preferred or common stock, and corporate bonds.

Our investments in income-producing properties are typically subject to long-term leases. For multi-tenant properties, each tenant typically pays its proportionate share of the aforementioned operating expenses of the property, although for such properties we typically incur additional costs for property management services. Single-tenant leases are typically in the form of triple or double net leases and ground leases. Triple-net leases generally require the tenant to pay property operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance, assessments and other governmental fees, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and capital expenditures.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We also disclose Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”), and Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), each of which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.

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

We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as U.S. GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by U.S. GAAP), net gain or loss from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. The Company also excludes the gains or losses from sales of assets incidental to the primary business of the REIT which specifically include the sales of mitigation credits, impact fee credits, subsurface sales, and land sales, in addition to the mark-to-market of the Company’s investment securities and interest related to the 2025 Notes, if the effect is dilutive. To derive Core FFO, we modify the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to gains and losses recognized on the extinguishment of debt, amortization of above- and below-market lease related intangibles, and other unforecastable market- or transaction-driven non-cash items. To derive AFFO, we further modify the NAREIT computation of FFO and Core FFO to include other adjustments to U.S. GAAP net income related to non-cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue, non-cash compensation, and other non-cash amortization, as well as adding back the interest related to the 2025 Notes, if the effect is dilutive. Such items may cause short-term fluctuations in net income but have no impact on operating cash flows or long-term operating performance. We use AFFO as one measure of our performance when we formulate corporate goals.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

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

Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions of Real Estate Subject to a Lease.  As required by U.S. GAAP, the fair value of the real estate acquired with in-place leases is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of leasing costs, based in each case on their relative fair values. In allocating the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded as other assets or liabilities based on the present value. The assumptions underlying the allocation of relative fair values are based on market information including, but not limited to: (i) the estimate of replacement cost of improvements under the cost approach, (ii) the estimate of land values based on comparable sales under the sales comparison approach, and (iii) the estimate of future benefits determined by either a reasonable rate of return over a single year’s net cash flow, or a forecast of net cash flows projected over a reasonable investment horizon under the income capitalization approach. The underlying assumptions are subject to uncertainty and thus any changes to the allocation of fair value to each of the various line items within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets could have an impact on the Company’s financial condition as well as results of operations due to resulting changes in depreciation and amortization as a result of the fair value allocation. The acquisitions of real estate subject to this estimate totaled one multi-tenant income property for a purchase price of $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and three multi-tenant income properties for a combined purchase price of $111.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The principal market risk (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices), to which we are exposed is interest rate risk relating to our debt. We may utilize overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments as a means to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not believe that interest rate risk related to cash equivalents and short-term investments, if any, is material due to the nature of the investments.

We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk relating to our own debt in connection with our Credit Facility, as this facility carries a variable rate of interest. Our borrowings on our $210.0 million revolving Credit Facility bear a variable rate of interest based on the 30-day LIBOR plus a rate of between 135 basis points and 195 basis points based on our level of borrowing as a percentage of our total asset value. As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the outstanding balance on our Credit

50

Table of Contents

Facility totaled $111.0 million and $184.3 million, of which $111.0 million and $84.3 million, respectively, were not fixed by virtue of an interest rate swap agreement. A hypothetical change in the interest rate of 100 basis points (i.e., 1%) would affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows by $1.1 million and $0.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the exposure of market rate risk is primarily due to the increase in the un-hedged portion of the Credit Facility balance as of June 30, 2022 as the interest rate swap agreements previously hedging the outstanding principal balance under the Credit Facility were redesignated to the term loan agreements during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from fluctuating interest rates related to certain of its debt borrowings, see Note 17, “Interest Rate Swaps.” By virtue of fixing the variable rate on certain debt borrowings, our exposure to changes in interest rates is minimal but for the impact on other comprehensive income and loss. Management’s objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to manage our overall borrowing costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation, as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company may be a party to certain legal proceedings, incidental to the normal course of its business. While the outcome of the legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company. As of June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
