The increase is due primarily to interest income of $197,000 received from the preferred equity investments which were originated in the fourth quarter of 2024. We estimate that these investments will generate an aggregate of $1.2 million of interest income in 2025.

NOI is a non-GAAP measure of performance. NOI is used by our management and many investors to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends at our properties and to determine the estimated fair value of our properties. The usefulness of NOI may be limited in that it does not take into account, among other things, general and administrative expense, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, casualty losses, insurance recoveries and gains or losses as determined by GAAP. NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole. Same store NOI reflects the operations of seven of our ten wholly-owned properties.

NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole. Same store NOI reflects the operations of all of our wholly-owned multi-family properties.

Previous wording

We compute NOI by adjusting net income (loss) to (a) add back (1) interest expense, (2) general and administrative expenses, (3) depreciation expense, (4) provision for credit loss, (5) provision for taxes, (6) loss on extinguishment of debt, (7) equity in earning (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, (8) casualty loss and (9) the impact of non-controlling interests, and (b) deduct (1) other income, (2) gain on sale of real estate, (3) equity in earnings from sale of consolidated joint venture properties, (4) insurance recovery of casualty loss and (5) gain on insurance recoveries. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income (loss). NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Current wording

NOI is defined as "Rental and other revenue from real estate properties" less "Real estate operating expenses" in each case as presented on our statements of operations. Real estate operating expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, property management expense, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s.

Previous wording

In 2024, NOI decreased by $30,000 from 2023 primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in operating expenses and a $344,000 decrease due to reduced occupancy. This was offset by a $1.1 million increase in rental revenues (including a $112,000 increase due to the Yonkers' lease extension) and an $855,000 increase in deferred rent concessions. Same store NOI decreased $163,000 in 2024 from 2023 due to the factors impacting NOI, other than the Yonkers' lease extension. See"-Results of Operations -Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023" for a discussion of these changes.

Current wording

In 2025, NOI decreased by $35,000 from 2024 due primarily to a $527,000 increase in real estate operating expenses, offset by a $389,000 increase in rental revenue at wholly-owned multi-family properties and a $114,000 increase in rental revenue at the Yonkers' Property. Same store NOI decreased $138,000 in 2025 from 2024 primarily due to the factors impacting NOI, other than the Yonkers' Property.

Further, if and to the extent we generate ordinary taxable income, we will be required to make distributions to stockholders to maintain our REIT status and as a result, will be limited in our ability to use gains, if any, from property sales, as a source of funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions.

Substantially all of our multi-family property leases are for periods of one-year or less. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce our risk to adverse effects of inflation on our revenue.

The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce, but does not eliminate, the affect of inflation on our net income.

Previous wording

Inflation affects the overall cost of our debt. We mitigate the risks presented by inflation through the use of long-term fixed interest rate debt and interest rate hedges and by paying down, when we deem appropriate, our credit facility debt. However, increasing interest rates, which generally correlates to increasing inflation, increases the interest expense on our junior subordinated notes and makes it less attractive to obtain mortgage debt (including the refinancing of an aggregate of $130.4 million of mortgage debt (including $60.8 million of mortgage debt at unconsolidated joint ventures, that matures in 2026) or use our credit facility in connection with acquisition and value add activities.

We account for the restricted stock awards and RSUs in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on its estimated grant-date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the applicable service periods. Grant date fair value is determined with respect to the (i) the restricted stock awards, by the closing stock price on the date of grant, (ii) TSR Awards, by using a Monte Carlo simulation relying upon various assumptions and (iii) AFFO Awards, by using the closing stock price on the grant date, subject to quarterly adjustment based upon management’s subjective projections as to the achievability of the specified metrics related to the AFFO Awards; changes in the projections related to the AFFO awards may have a significant impact on the expense we recognize on such awards. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

Current wording

We grant shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") to eligible plan participants, subject to the recipient's continued service over a specified period and, with respect to the RSUs, the satisfaction of specified conditions over a specified period. A portion of the RSUs vest based upon satisfaction of specified metrics with respect to (i) total stockholder return(“TSR Awards”) and (ii) adjusted funds from operations(“AFFO Awards”), in each case as calculated pursuant to the applicable award agreement. We account for the restricted stock awards and RSUs in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires that such compensation be recognized in the financial statements based on its estimated grant-date fair value. The value of such awards is recognized as compensation expense in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations over the applicable service periods. Grant date fair value is determined with respect to the (i) the restricted stock awards, by the closing stock price on the date of grant, (ii) TSR Awards, by using a Monte Carlo simulation relying upon various assumptions and (iii) AFFO Awards, by using the closing stock price on the grant date, subject to quarterly adjustment based upon management’s subjective projections as to the achievability of the specified metrics related to the AFFO Awards (the “AFFO” Metrics).There is substantial subjectivity in (i) the inputs selected for the Monte Carlo simulation used in determining the grant date fair value of the TSR Awards and the use of different inputs would change the expense we recognize with respect to such awards and (ii) management’s projections as to the achievability of the AFFO Metrics and changes in such projections will cause fluctuations in our results of operations. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.
