2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its investments in real estate in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in real estate on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined that the trust formed for the benefit of the note holders (the “Trust”) for the securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans receivable is considered a VIE. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined that its Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (as defined below) are considered VIEs. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, the Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary based on its lack of power to direct activities and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. Therefore, the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures do not qualify for consolidation. The Company accounts for its investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures as equity method investments.

Investments in Real Estate—Investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:

Capitalized Project Costs

The Company capitalizes project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest expense, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, or construction of a project, while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Recoverability of Investments in Real Estate—The Company periodically monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, the recoverability of assets to be held and used requires significant judgment and estimates and is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and their eventual disposition. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The process for evaluating real estate impairment requires management to make significant assumptions related to certain inputs, including rental rates, lease-up period, occupancy, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures, growth rates, market discount rates and terminal capitalization rates. These inputs require a subjective evaluation based on the specific property and market. Changes in the assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment is recognized and, if so, the estimated fair value which impacts the amount of impairment charge, if any. Any asset held for sale is reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. When an asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the asset. The Company didnot recognize any impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (Note 3).

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities—The Company accounts for its investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures (the “Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”) under the equity method, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investments. The Unconsolidated Joint Ventures record their assets and liabilities at fair value. As such, the Company records its share of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures’ unrealized gains or losses as well as its share of the revenues and expenses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized within the Company’s income from unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include short-term liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash—The Company’s mortgage loan and hotel management agreements provide for depositing cash into restricted accounts reserved for capital expenditures, free rent, tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations. Restricted cash also includes cash required to be segregated in connection with certain of the Company’s loans receivable and with its SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes. In addition, for one of the Company’s mortgage loans, rent from the Company’s tenants at the applicable property is deposited directly into a lender reserve account, from which the monthly debt service payments are disbursed to the lender and the excess funds are then disbursed to the Company.

Loans Receivable—The Company’s loans receivable are carried at their unamortized principal balance less

unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, retained loan discounts and reserves for expected credit losses. Acquisition discounts or premiums, origination fees and retained loan discounts are amortized as a component of interest and other income using the effective interest method over the expected life of the respective loans. All loans were originated pursuant to programs sponsored by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program (the “SBA 7(a) Program”).

Pursuant to the SBA 7(a) Program, the Company sells the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. Upon sale of the SBA guaranteed portion of the loans, which are accounted for as sales, the unguaranteed portion of the loan retained by the Company is recorded at fair value and a discount is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan. Unamortized retained loan discounts were $7.9 million and $8.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

A loan receivable is generally classified as non-accrual (a “Non-Accrual Loan”) if (i) it is past due as to payment of principal or interest for a period of 60 days or more, (ii) any portion of the loan is classified as doubtful or is charged-off or (iii) the repayment in full of the principal and/or interest is in doubt. Generally, loans are charged-off when management determines that the Company will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement, either through liquidation of collateral or other means. Interest income, included in interest and other income, on a Non-Accrual Loan is recognized on the cost recovery basis.

Current Expected Credit Losses—On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and subsequent amendments (“ASU 2016-13”). The current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under ASU 2016-13 reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans receivable included in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial expected credit losses recorded on January 1, 2023 is reflected as a direct charge to distributions in excess of earnings on the Company’s consolidated statements of equity; however, subsequent changes to CECL are recognized through net income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. While ASU 2016-13 does not require any particular method for determining CECL, it does specify the allowance should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASU 2016-13 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company recorded a cumulative-effective adjustment to the opening distributions in excess of earnings in its consolidated statement of equity as of January 1, 2023 of $619,000. This represents a total CECL reserve transition adjustment of approximately $783,000, net of a $164,000 deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a total CECL of $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The Company estimates CECL for its loans primarily using its historical experience with loan write-offs, historical charge-offs from third-party firms, and the weighted average remaining maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historical loan loss data across a comparable dataset and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loans that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans with respect to which the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data.

Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans receivable and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, which are grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, local market, physical condition and stability of cash flow; and (iii) quality, experience and financial condition of the borrower.

Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans receivable are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:

1-Acceptable — These are assets of high quality;

2-Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”) — These are assets that are generally profitable but exhibit potential weakness or weaknesses, including, but not limited to, no significant pay history as detailed below for loans originated generally within the last year. Such weaknesses could result in deterioration if notcorrected;

3-Substandard — These assets generally have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses which could hinder collection efforts;

4-Doubtful — These assets have weakness or weaknesses similar to substandard loans; however, the weakness or weaknesses are so extreme that significant loss potential exists in all cases; and

5-Loss — Assets assigned this classification have no value and thus have been or are in the process of being charged off.

The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “2” to all newly originated loans (generally within one year of origination) due to lack of management experience and/or lack of adequate historical debt coverage at the origination date. These loans likely will be classified to acceptable within two years of origination.

Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges—Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, deferred offering costs (Note 11), deferred financing costs and other deferred costs.

Deferred leasing costs, which represent lease commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.

Deferred offering costs represented direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s offerings of Series A1 Preferred Stock (as defined below), Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below), and Series D Preferred Stock (as defined below), excluding costs specifically identifiable to a closing, such as commissions, dealer-manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses. Generally, for a specific issuance of securities, issuance-specific offering costs are recorded as a reduction of proceeds raised on the issuance date and offering costs incurred but not directly related to a specifically identifiable closing of a security are deferred. Deferred offering costs were first allocated to each issuance of a security on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of the number of securities issued in a given issuance to the maximum number of securities that were expected to be issued in the related offering. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2024 through September 2024, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, from June 2024 through September 2024, deferred offering costs allocated to each issuance were recorded as reductions to temporary equity and will subsequently be reclassified to permanent equity on the first anniversary of each issuance. In the case of the Series A Preferred Stock issued prior to February 2020, the issuance-specific offering costs and the deferred offering costs allocated to such issuance were further allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants issued in such issuance based on the relative fair value of the instruments on the date of issuance. The deferred offering costs allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants were reductions to temporary equity and permanent equity, respectively, with the deferred offering costs allocated to Series A Preferred Stock being reclassified from temporary equity to permanent equity on the first anniversary of each issuance.

The Company discontinued its issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred stock in June 2022. In September 2024, the Company, at its option, redeemed 2,589,606 and 2,150,076 shares of its Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, in shares of Common Stock and suspended its offering of Series A1 Preferred Stock. Following the suspension of its Series A1 Preferred Stock’s offering, the Company no longer deemed it probable that future proceeds would be raised from the sale of these securities and, as a result, the Company recognized $5.1 million of redeemable preferred stock redemptions in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to amounts that had been recorded as deferred offering costs.

Deferred financing costs related to the securing of a revolving line of credit are presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. As such, the Company’s current and corresponding prior period total deferred costs, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets relate only to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, deferred rent receivable and charges, net consist of the following:

Noncontrolling Interests—Noncontrolling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties.

Redeemable Preferred Stock—Beginning on the date of original issuance of any given shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value”), Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value”), or Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value”), the holder of such shares has the right to require the Company to redeem such shares, subject to certain limitations as discussed in Note 11. The Company records the activity related to the Series A1 Preferred Stock (for issuances prior to June 2024), Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants and Series D Preferred Stock in permanent equity. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2024 through September 2024, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, beginning from June 2024 through September 2024, the Company recorded issuances of Series A1 Preferred Stock in temporary equity. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2024 through September 2024, on the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of a particular share of Series A1 Preferred Stock the Company reclassifies such share of Series A1 Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity as the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date.

Purchase Accounting for Acquisition of Investments in Real Estate—The Company applies the acquisition method to all acquired real estate assets. The purchase consideration of the real estate, which includes the transaction costs incurred in connection with such acquisitions, is recorded at fair value to the acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, land improvements, building and improvements, tenant improvements, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of acquired above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and ground leases, if any, based in each case on their relative fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market rate loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant, and the “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land (or acquired ground lease if the land is subject to a ground lease), land improvements, building and improvements, and tenant improvements based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal, and other related costs.

In allocating the purchase consideration of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market, below-market, and in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease, and for below-market leases, over a period equal to the initial term plus any below-market fixed-rate renewal periods. Acquired above-market and below-market leases are amortized and recorded to rental and other property income over the initial terms of the respective leases.

The aggregate value of other acquired intangible assets, consisting of in-place leases and tenant relationships, is measured by the estimated cost of operations during a theoretical lease-up period to replace in-place leases, including lost revenues and any unreimbursed operating expenses, plus an estimate of deferred leasing commissions for in-place leases. The value of in-place leases is amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancelable periods of the respective leases. If a lease is terminated prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease are written-off.

Revenue Recognition—At the inception of a revenue-producing contract, the Company determines if a contract qualifies as a lease and if not, then as a customer contract. Based on this determination, the appropriate treatment in accordance with GAAP is applied to the contract, including its revenue recognition.

Revenue from leasing activities

The Company operates as a lessor of both office and multifamily real estate assets. When the Company enters into a contract or amends an existing contract, the Company evaluates if the contracts meet the definition of a lease using the following criteria:

•One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset;

•The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract; and

•The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract.

The Company determined that the Company’s contracts with its tenants explicitly identify the premises and that any substitution rights to relocate tenants to other premises within the same building stated in the contract are not substantive. Additionally, so long as payments are made timely under such contracts, the Company’s tenants have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and can direct how and for what purpose the premises are used to conduct their operations. Therefore, the contracts with the Company’s tenants constitute leases.

All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is considered the owner of the improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as an incentive. Lease incentives paid to tenants are included in other assets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, lease incentives of $3.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, are presented net of accumulated amortization of $3.6 million and $3.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue and are included in rental and other property income in the period the expenses are incurred, with the corresponding expenses included in rental and other property operating expense. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service and control that specified good or service before it is transferred to the tenant. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components as the pattern of revenue recognition does not differ for the two components, and the non-lease component is not the primary component in the Company’s leases.

In addition to minimum rents, certain leases, including the Company’s parking leases with third-party operators, provide for additional rents based upon varying percentages of tenants’ sales in excess of annual minimums. Percentage rent is recognized once lessees’ specified sales targets have been met.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized rental income as follows:

(1)Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including amortization of acquired above-market leases, below-market leases and lease incentives.

(2)Variable lease payments include expense reimbursements billed to tenants and percentage rent, net of bad debt expense from the Company’s operating leases plus cash payments from tenants deemed not probable of collections.

Collectability of Future Lease Payments

The Company periodically reviews whether collection of future lease payments, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants is probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of future lease payments is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of future lease payments is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had identified certain tenants where collection was no longer considered probable and decreased outstanding receivables by $640,000 and $868,000, respectively, across all operating leases.

Revenue from lending activities

Interest income included in interest and other income is comprised of interest earned on loans and the Company’s short-term investments and the accretion of loan discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a Non-Accrual Loan (as defined below).

Revenue from hotel activities

The Company recognizes revenue from hotel activities separate from its leasing activities. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. Various performance obligations of hotel revenues can be categorized as follows:

•cancellable and noncancelable room revenues from reservations and

•ancillary services including facility usage and food or beverage.

Cancellable reservations represent a single performance obligation of providing lodging services at the hotel. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these reservations over time as services are rendered to the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with noncancelable reservations at the earlier of (i) the date on which the customer cancels the reservation or (ii) over time as services are rendered to the customer.

Ancillary services include facilities usage and providing food and beverage. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services at a point in time when the good or service is delivered to the customer.

At inception of a contract with a customer for hotel goods and services, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate.

The Company presents hotel revenues net of sales, occupancy, and other taxes.

Below is a reconciliation of the hotel revenue from contracts with customers to the total hotel segment revenue disclosed in Note 18:

Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements

Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements are related to construction projects in which the Company’s tenants have agreed to fully reimburse the Company for all costs related to construction. These services include architectural, permit expediter and construction services. At inception of the contract with the customer, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate. While these individual services are distinct, in the context of the arrangement with the customer, all of these services are bundled together and represent a single package of construction services requested by the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services over time as the construction is completed. No such amounts were recognized for tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024, there wereno remaining performance obligations associated with tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements.

Premiums and Discounts on Debt— Premiums and discounts on debt are amortized or accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The Company has issued and continues to issue restricted shares under stock-based compensation plans described more fully in Note 9. The Company uses fair value recognition provisions to account for all awards granted, modified or settled.

Earnings per Share (“EPS”)—Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Net income attributable to common stockholders includes a deduction for dividends due to preferred stockholders. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect, if any, of securities such as stock-based compensation awards, warrants, including the Series A Preferred Warrants and preferred stock, including the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, whose redemption is payable in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the discretion of the Company. The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards and warrants, including the Series A Preferred Warrants, is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, including the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock, whose redemption is payable in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the discretion of the Company, is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the if-converted method.

Distributions—Distributions on the Company’s Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series L Preferred Stock and Common Stock are recorded when they are authorized by its Board of Directors and declared by the Company.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations—In the ordinary course of business, the Company may periodically enter into agreements to dispose of its assets. Some of these agreements are non-binding because either they do not obligate either party to pursue any transactions until the execution of a definitive agreement or they provide the potential buyer with the ability to terminate without penalty or forfeiture of any material deposit, subject to certain specified contingencies, such as completion of due diligence at the discretion of such buyer. The Company does not classify assets that are subject to such non-binding agreements as held for sale.

The Company classifies assets as held for sale, if material, when they meet the necessary criteria, which include: a) management commits to and actively embarks upon a plan to sell the assets, b) the assets to be sold are available for immediate sale in their present condition, c) the sale is expected to be completed within one year under terms usual and customary for such sales and d) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company generally believes that it meets these criteria when the plan for sale has been approved by its management, having the authority to approve the sale, there are no known significant contingencies related to the sale and management believes it is probable that the sale will be completed within one year.

Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. In addition, if the Company were to determine that the asset disposal associated with assets held for sale or disposed of represents a strategic shift, the revenues, expenses and net gain (loss) on dispositions would be recorded in discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition.

Derivative Financial Instruments—As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a foreign currency fair value hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a trading or non-hedging instrument.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has interest rate caps that are used to manage exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges is recorded directly to earnings as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 for further disclosures about the Company’s derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.

Income Taxes—The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the provisions of the Code. To the extent the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it generally will not be subject to a federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. The Company may, however, be subject to certain federal excise taxes and state and local taxes on its income and property. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and will not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. In order to remain qualified as a REIT under the Code, the Company must satisfy various requirements in each taxable year, including, among others, limitations on share ownership, asset diversification, sources of income, and the distribution of at least 90% of its taxable income within the specified time in accordance with the Code.

The Company has wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS’s”) which are subject to federal income taxes. The income generated from the taxable REIT subsidiaries is taxed at normal corporate rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

The Company has established a policy on classification of penalties and interest related to audits of its federal and state income tax returns. If incurred, the Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits will be to record such items as a component of general and administrative expense. Penalties, if incurred, will be recorded in general and administrative expense and interest paid or received will be recorded in interest expense or interest income, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Company has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that the application of ASC 740 resulted in no material effect to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases such estimates on historical experience, information available at the time, and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances at such time. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk—Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and interest rate swap agreements. The Company has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with what it believes to be high-quality financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Management routinely assesses the financial strength of its tenants and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

The majority of the Company’s revenues are earned from properties located in California. The Company is subject to risks incidental to the ownership and operation of commercial real estate. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate in the communities in which the Company operates, trends in the real estate industry, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, availability of financing, and the potential liability under environmental and other laws.

Segment Information—Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Company’s management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. The Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist ofthree types of commercial real estate properties, namely office, hotel and multifamily, as well as a segment for the Company’s lending business. The products for the Company’s office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including tenant reimbursements, parking, and storage space rental. The products for the Company’s multifamily segment primarily include revenues generated from residential and other lease income. The products for the Company’s hotel segment include revenues generated from the operations of hotel properties and rental income generated from a garage located directly across the street from the hotel. The income from the Company’s lending segment includes premium income recognized from the sale of the government guaranteed portion of loans receivable, income from the yield on its loans receivable and other related fee income earned on its loans receivable.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-05 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances the disclosures required for reportable segments on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 has not impacted the Company’s financial statements but has resulted in incremental disclosures, which are included within Note 18 — Segment Reporting.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. ASU 2024-03 is effective on either a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Risk Ratings

As further described in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company evaluates its loans receivable portfolio on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, the Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on several factors. Factors considered in the assessment include, but are not limited to, loan and credit structure, current LTV ratio, debt yield, collateral performance, and the quality and condition of the sponsor, borrower, and guarantor(s). Loans are rated “1” (less risk) through “5” (greater risk), which ratings are defined in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Company’s primary credit quality indicator is its risk ratings, which are further discussed above. The following table presents the net book value of the Company’s loans receivable portfolio as of December 31, 2024 by year of origination, loan type, and risk rating (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1)The Company does not assign a risk rating to its SBA 7(a) loans receivable that are subject to secured borrowings or the government guaranteed portion of loans held for sale.

7. DEBT

The following table summarizes the debt balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the debt activity for the year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

(1)The write-off of $275,000 of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the 2022 Credit Facility Term Loan resulting from the early extinguishment of debt during incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024 is reflected here within Deferred debt issuance costs — other. See further discussion under 2022 Credit Facility.

Fixed Rate Mortgages Payable—The Company’s fixed rate mortgages payable are non-recourse and are secured by, among other things, first priority deeds of trust, security agreements or other similar security instruments on the fee simple interests in properties underlying such mortgages and assignments of rents receivable. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s fixed rate mortgages payable had fixed interest rates of 4.14%,6.25% and 7.41% per annum, with payments of interest only and initial maturity dates of July 1, 2026, June 7, 2025 and January 11, 2030, respectively. In regards to the mortgage payable maturing on June 7, 2025, the Company has aone-year extension option exercisable at its discretion.

Variable Rate Mortgages Payable—The Company’s variable rate mortgages payable are non-recourse and are secured by, among other things, first priority deeds of trust, security agreements or other similar security instruments on the Company’s fee simple and leasehold interests in its hotel asset and adjacent parking garage and by a deed of trust on and assignment of rents receivable from a multifamily property. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s variable rate mortgages payable had a variable interest rate of SOFR plus 3.36% and SOFR plus 4.35%, with monthly payments of interest only, with an initial maturity date of July 7, 2025 and January 1, 2027. With regards to the mortgage payable maturing on July 7, 2025 (the “Channel House Mortgage”), the Company has an extension option subject to certain conditions.

The Company has been in discussions with the lender under the Channel House Mortgage, which is non-recourse and has no cross-collateral provisions and is secured by Channel House (a multifamily property in Oakland, California), to restructure the terms of the mortgage, as the Company does not expect the property will meet certain conditions that are required in order for the Company to exercise the option to extend the Channel House Mortgage beyond July 7, 2025. There can be no assurance that such restructuring will occur. If the Company and the lender under the Channel House Mortgage cannot agree on a modification of the mortgage and the Company fails to exercise its extension option, such failure would constitute an event of default under the mortgage and would allow the lender to, among other remedies, declare principal and interest under the mortgage loan to be immediately due and payable.

Secured Borrowings—Government Guaranteed Loans—Secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans represent sold loans which are treated as secured borrowings because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral. These loans included cash premiums that are amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and are fully amortized when the underlying loan is repaid in full. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s secured borrowings-government guaranteed loans included $0.4 million of loans sold for a premium and excess spread, with a variable rate, reset quarterly, based on prime rate with weighted average coupon rate of 8.71% at December 31, 2024, and $1.0 million of loans sold for an excess spread, with a variable rate, reset quarterly, based on prime rate with weighted average coupon rate of 6.35% at December 31, 2024.

At the time the 2022 Credit Facility was entered into, it was collateralized bysix of the Company’s office properties, as well as the Company’s hotel property and adjacent parking garage (the “Hotel Properties”). The 2022 Credit Facility bears interest at (A) the base rate plus 1.50% or (B) SOFR plus 2.60%. As of December 31, 2024, the variable interest rate was 7.29%. The 2022 Credit Facility Revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2022 Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants. The 2022 Credit Facility originally had a maturity date in December 2025 and provided fortwo one-year extension options. In December 2024, using proceeds from the closing of a variable rate mortgage on the Hotel Properties and a fixed rate mortgage onthree of the Company’s office properties (collectively, “the Refinancings”), the Company repaid $111.7 million on the 2022 Credit Facility Revolver and $42.6 million on the 2022 Credit Facility Term Loan. Following the completion of the Refinancings, the 2022 Credit Facility was secured bythree of the Company’s office properties. The 2022 Credit Facility is not cross-collateralized by any other of the Company’s assets. In connection with the Refinancings, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million related to the write-off of deferred debt origination costs of $1.1 million associated with the 2022 Credit Facility Revolver and $275,000 associated with the 2022 Credit Facility Term Loan. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $0 and $53.0 million, respectively, was available for future borrowings.

At the end of the first three quarters of 2024, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant under the 2022 Credit Facility. Further, as of December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with two covenants under the 2022 Credit Facility. Such non-compliance events during 2024 constituted events of default under the 2022 Credit Facility. Lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending March 31, 2024. Among other restrictions, the First Modification Agreement also prohibited subsidiaries of the Company that own properties that secured the 2022 Credit Facility from making any distributions to its parent entities. On August 7, 2024, lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending June 30, 2024. Simultaneously with the execution of the Second Modification Agreement, the Company made a $4.0 million repayment under the 2022 Credit Facility. On October 24, 2024, lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Third Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending September 30, 2024, pursuant to which the aggregate commitments under the 2022 Credit Facility were reduced from $206.2 million to $169.3 million, and pursuant to which the lenders under the 2022 Credit facility agreed to release the Hotel Properties in order to facilitate the refinancing of such properties. On December 24, 2024, in connection with the Refinancings, the lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Fourth Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders agreed to release assets relating tothree of the Company’s office buildings located in Los Angeles, California, in order to facilitate a refinancing of such properties, subject to a minimum prepayment of the 2022 Credit Facility in connection with such refinancing. In addition, the Fourth Modification Agreement changed the maturity date of the facility to January 31, 2025, subject to a 2-month extension option. Such extension option was executed on January 31, 2025, pursuant to an additional modification agreement to the 2022 Credit Facility (the “Fifth Modification Agreement”), as described under “Subsequent Events.”

The event of default under the 2022 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 allows lenders under the 2022 Credit Facility to, among other remedies, declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, to be immediately due and payable. Management plans to address such default by further modifying the 2022 Credit Facility and/or refinancing an additional office property in Austin, Texas (the “Austin Refinancing”). As the Company has reduced the outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility from $169.3 million to $15.0 million during December 2024 in connection with the Refinancings, Management expects the proceeds from the Austin Refinancing will be more than sufficient to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility, with the remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. Management believes its plan to repay amounts outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility is probable based on the favorable loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) of the property associated with the Austin Refinancing.

Junior Subordinated Notes—The Company has junior subordinated notes with a variable interest rate which resets quarterly based on the three-month SOFR plus 3.51%, with quarterly interest only payments. The junior subordinated balance is due at maturity on March 30, 2035. The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at the Company’s option.

SBA 7(a) Loan-Backed Notes—On March 9, 2023, the Company completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of its SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $54.1 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes (with net proceeds of approximately $43.3 million, after payment of fees and expenses in connection with the securitization and the funding of a reserve account and an escrow account). The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes mature on March 20, 2048, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) the 30-day average compounded SOFR plus 2.90% and (ii) the prime rate minus 0.35%. As of December 31, 2024, the variable interest rate was 7.40%. The Company reflects the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on its consolidated balance sheet and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on its consolidated balance sheet. The restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included funds related to the Company’s SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes was $2.4 million as of December 31, 2024.

Other—Deferred debt issuance costs, which represent legal and third-party fees incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowing activities, are capitalized and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line or effective interest method over the life of the related loan. Deferred debt issuance costs are presented net of accumulated amortization and are a reduction to total debt.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Future principal payments on the Company’s debt (face value) as of December 31, 2024 are as follows:

(1)In respect to the $154.0 million of mortgages payable maturing in 2025, each such mortgage payable has aone-year extension option. The extension option for the fixed rate mortgage is at the Company’s discretion and the Company intends to execute such option. In regards to the Channel House Mortgage, see the discussion under Variable Rate Mortgages Payable.

(2)Principal payments on secured borrowings and SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, which are included in Other, are generally dependent upon cash flows received from the underlying loans. The Company’s estimate of their repayment is based on scheduled payments on the underlying loans. The Company’s estimate will differ from actual amounts to the extent the Company experiences prepayments and/or loan liquidations or charge-offs.

(3)Represents the junior subordinated notes and SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes.

8. DERIVATIVES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk.

The following table summarizes the terms of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement as of December 31, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1)The index used for the Company’s interest rate cap agreement is 1-Month Term SOFR.

Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument are included in Note 13. The notional amount under the derivative instrument is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in such instrument but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has an interest rate cap that is used to manage exposure to interest rate movements but does not meet the requirements to be designated as a hedging instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instrument that is not designated as a hedge is recorded directly to earnings as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $463,000 and $539,000, respectively, which was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to its interest rate caps.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On April 3, 2015, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) unanimously approved the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders. On June 27, 2023, the Equity Incentive Plan was amended by the Board of Directors, and subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders, to authorize additional shares of Common Stock for issuance as compensation. The Company has granted awards of restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors under the Equity Incentive Plan as follows:

Compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock is recognized over the vesting period, and generally vests based onone year of continuous service. The Company recorded compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock in the amountof $220,000 and $183,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $128,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of Common Stock which will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The computation of basic EPS is based on the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding. No shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, or Series A1 Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024 were included in the computation of diluted EPS because they hadno dilutive effect. Outstanding Series A Preferred Warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 because their impact was either anti-dilutive or such warrants were not exercisable during such periods (Note 12).

EPS for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly EPS amounts due to the required method for computing EPS in the respective periods. In addition, EPS is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used in computing the Company’s basic and diluted per-share amounts for net loss attributable to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

11. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The table below provides information regarding the issuances, reclassifications and redemptions of each class of the Company’s preferred stock in permanent equity during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Series A1 Preferred Stock—From June 2022 through September 2024, the Company conducted a public offering with respect to shares of its Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment. As of September 2024, the Company has suspended its offering of Series A1 Preferred Stock.

Shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2022 through May 2024 were recorded in permanent equity at the time of their issuance. With respect to Series A1 Preferred Stock, for shares issued in June 2024 and thereafter, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock from June 2024 and through September 2024 were initially recorded in temporary equity at an amount equal to the gross proceeds allocated to such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock minus the costs specifically identifiable to the issuance of such shares and the non-issuance specific offering costs allocated to such shares. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2024 through September 2024, on the first anniversary of the issuance of a particular share of such Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Company will reclassify such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity as the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date of the original issuance. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had madeno such reclassification from temporary equity to permanent equity.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had issued in registered public offerings 12,040,878 shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock and received gross proceeds of $298.2 million and additionally had issued 200,000 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock as payment for services to the CIM Service Provider, LLC (the “Administrator”), for which no cash proceeds were received. In connection with the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, $22.0 million of costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A1 Preferred Stock was allocated to the Series A1 Preferred Stock. Such costs include commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering fees and expenses but do not include non-issuance-specific costs of $11.9 million related to the Company’s offering of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants, Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had reclassified and allocated $5.0 million from deferred charges to Series A1 Preferred Stock as a reduction to the gross proceeds received. Such reclassification was based on the cumulative number of securities issued relative to the maximum number of securities expected to be issued under the offering.

If the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock are less than the redemption value of such shares at the time they were issued, or if the redemption value of such shares subsequently becomes greater than the carrying value of such shares, an adjustment is recorded to increase the carrying amount of such shares to their redemption value as of the balance sheet date. Such adjustment is considered a deemed dividend for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The Company recorded redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends related to such adjustments of $755,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 andno deemed dividends during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Proceeds and expenses from the sale were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance.

From February 2020 through June 2022, the Company conducted a continuous public offering with respect to shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which, since February 2020, was no longer being issued as a unit with an accompanying Series A Preferred Warrant.

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Dividends

Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if, as and when authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company out of legally available funds. In determining the Company’s dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including the amount of cash resources available for dividend distributions, capital spending plans, cash flow, the Company’s financial position, applicable requirements of the MGCL, any applicable contractual restrictions, and future growth in NAV and cash flow per share prospects. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis does not necessarily correlate directly to any individual factor. Cash dividends per share of Common Stock paid in respect of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist of the following:

a. The Company’s Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of $0.40 (or 0.2020 shares of Common Stock, as determined on a reverse split-adjusted basis) per share of Common Stock, payable in shares of Common Stock, using a price of $19.850 per share, resulting in the issuance of 168,463 shares of Common Stock. The stock dividend was retrospectively applied to the periods reflected in the consolidated statements of operations included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Series A Preferred Warrants

Prior to February 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock was sold as a unit that includedone share of Series A Preferred Stock andone Series A Preferred Warrant that could be exercised to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the date of their original issuance until and including the fifth anniversary of the date of such issuance. At the time of issuance, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant was at a 15.0% premium to the per share estimated NAV of the Company’s Common Stock then most recently published and designated as the applicable NAV. However, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Warrants, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split was automatically adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split and, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Special Dividend was adjusted to reflect the effect of the Special Dividend.

Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 118,911 Series A Preferred Warrants outstanding to purchase 29,728 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company’s offering of Series A Preferred Units and allocated net proceeds of $28,000 after specifically identifiable offering costs and allocated general offering costs, to the Series A Preferred Warrants in permanent equity.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock (the “SRP”). Under the SRP, the Company, in its discretion, may purchase shares of its Common Stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of purchases of shares will depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of shares, trading volume, general market conditions and compliance with applicable securities law. The SRP has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

There wereno repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had repurchased 66,246 shares of Common Stock for $4.7 million.

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Management’s estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is based on a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy established for disclosure of how a company values its financial instruments. In general, quoted market prices from active markets for the identical financial instrument (Level 1 inputs), if available, should be used to value a financial instrument. If quoted prices are not available for the identical financial instrument, then a determination should be made if Level 2 inputs are available. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not active (i.e., markets in which there are few transactions for the financial instruments, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially, or in which little information is released publicly). There is limited reliable market information for the Company’s financial instruments and the Company utilizes other methodologies based on unobservable inputs for valuation purposes since there are no Level 1 or Level 2 inputs available. Accordingly, Level 3 inputs are used to measure fair value.

In general, estimates of fair value may differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are made at a point in time and may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities.

Debt—The carrying amounts of the Company’s secured borrowings - government guaranteed loans, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, 2022 Credit Facility and variable rate mortgage payable approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates. The Company determines the fair value of fixed rate mortgage notes payable and junior subordinated notes by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs.

Loans Receivable—The Company determines the fair value of loans receivable by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk and using an anticipated prepayment rate. The value of the government guaranteed portions of loans held for sale is based primarily on the anticipated proceeds to be received upon sale. The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and prepayment rates used to arrive at the estimated fair values of the Company’s loans receivable:

Derivative Instruments— The Company’s derivative instruments are comprised oftwo interest rate caps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments are determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.

Other Financial Instruments—The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.

The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

(1)The carrying amounts for the mortgages payable and junior subordinated notes represents the principal outstanding amounts, excluding deferred debt issuance costs and discounts.

Pursuant to the Fee Waiver, the Administrator agreed to voluntarily waive any fees in excess of those set forth in the Fee Waiver, to the extent it would otherwise have been entitled to such additional compensation under the Master Service Agreement, and the Operator agreed to voluntarily waive any fees in excess of those set forth in the Fee Waiver, to the extent it would otherwise have been entitled to such additional compensation under the Investment Management Agreement. Following the end of each quarter, the Administrator will deliver to the Company (i) a calculation of the cumulative fees earned by the Operator and the Administrator under the methodology prescribed by the Fee Waiver from the Effective Date through the end of such quarter and (ii) a calculation of the cumulative fees that would have been earned by the Operator and the Administrator during such period under the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement without giving effect to the Fee Waiver. If, in respect of any quarter, the aggregate fees that are payable under the methodology prescribed by the Fee Waiver exceed the aggregate fees that would have been payable under the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver, such quarter will be deemed an “Excess Quarter”. For any quarter following an Excess Quarter, the Company (upon the direction of the independent members of the Board) may, at its option and upon written notice to Administrator, elect to calculate all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator in accordance with the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver, from and after such Excess Quarter. Any such election by the Company will be irrevocable, and all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator from and after such election will be calculated in accordance with the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver.

The fees payable to the Operator and the Administrator are determined as follows under the Fee Waiver.

1. Base Fee: A base asset management fee (the “Base Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Operator in an amount equal to an annual rate of 1% (or 0.25% per quarter) of the average of the “Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders” as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter. Net Asset Value Attributable to Common stockholders is defined as (a) the sum of the Company’s (1) investments in real estate at fair value, (2) cash, (3) loans receivable at fair value and (4) the book value of the other assets of the Company, excluding deferred costs and net of other liabilities at book value, less (b) the Company’s (i) debt at face value, (ii) outstanding preferred stock at stated value, and (iii) non-controlling interests at book value; provided, that, non-controlling interests in any UPREIT operating partnership relating to the Company shall not be excluded.

2. Incentive Fee: An incentive fee (the “Revised Incentive Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator with respect to the quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75% (i.e.,7.00% on an annualized basis) of the Company’s “Adjusted Common Equity” (as defined below) for such quarter (“Excess Core FFO”) as follows: (i) no Revised Incentive Fee in any quarter in which the Excess Core FFO is $0; (ii)100% of any Excess Core FFO up to an amount equal to the product of (x) the average of the Adjusted Common Equity as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter and (y)0.4375%; and (iii)20% of any Excess Core FFO thereafter. Revised Incentive Fees payable for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.

“Adjusted Common Equity” means Common Equity plus Excluded Depreciation and Amortization. “Common Equity” means Total Stockholders’ Equity minus Excluded Equity. “Total Stockholders’ Equity” means the amount reflected as total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Equity” means the sum of all preferred securities of the Company and its subsidiaries classified as permanent equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Depreciation and Amortization” means, for a given quarter, the amount of all accumulated depreciation and amortization of (i) the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent allocable to the Company and its subsidiaries, the unconsolidated affiliates, in each case as of the last day of such quarter that corresponds to the periodic depreciation and amortization expense calculated in each case in accordance with GAAP that is a permitted add back to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP when calculating funds from operations.

3. Capital Gains Fee: A capital gains fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator in an amount equal to (i)15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses (in each case since the Effective Date), minus (ii) the aggregate capital gains fees paid since the Effective Date. Realized capital gains and realized capital losses are calculated by subtracting from the sales price of a property: (a) any costs incurred to sell such property, and (b) the current gross value of the property (meaning the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements thereon paid for by the Company).

Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the asset management fee prior to January 1, 2022 fee was calculated (without giving effect to the Fee Waiver) as a percentage of the daily average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban’s assets as follows:

Asset management fees are included in asset management and other fees to related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Under the Master Services Agreement, for fiscal quarters prior to April 1, 2020, the Company paid a base service fee (the “Base Service Fee”) to the Administrator initially set at $1.0 million per year (subject to an annual escalation by a specified inflation factor beginning on January 1, 2015), payable quarterly in arrears. On May 11, 2020, the Master Services Agreement was amended to replace the Base Service Fee with an incentive fee pursuant to which the Administrator was entitled to receive, on a quarterly basis,15.00% of the Company’s quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75% (i.e.,7.00% on an annualized basis) of the Company’s average Adjusted Common Equity (defined above) for such quarter. The amendment was effective as of April 1, 2020 and was further modified by the Fee Waiver described above. No such incentive fee was paid by the Company.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, the Administrator may receive compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for the Company and its subsidiaries that are not covered by the Base Fee. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, such services performed by the Administrator and its affiliates included accounting, tax, reporting, internal audit, legal, compliance, risk management, IT, human resources, corporate communications, operational and ongoing support in connection with the Company’s offering of Preferred Stock. The Company will also reimburse the Administrator for the Company’s share of broken deal expenses that are incurred by the Administrator and its affiliates (i.e., fees and expenses relating to investments that were contemplated but the Company did not make and/or transactions that could have been executed by the Company but that the Company did not consummate, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence review and negotiating the terms of such investments or transactions). The Administrator’s compensation is based on the salaries and benefits of the employees of the Administrator and/or its affiliates who performed these services (allocated based on the percentage of time spent on the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries). The expense for such services is included in expense reimbursements to related parties—corporate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan Commitments—Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer when the terms established in the contract are met. The Company’s outstanding commitments to fund loans were $9.5 million as of December 31, 2024, all of which are for prime-based loans to be originated by the Company’s subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program lending, the government guaranteed portion of which is intended to be sold. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

General—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company has certain obligations for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions in connection with new leases and renewals. the Company had a total of $11.3 million in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, $19.9 million was funded to reserve accounts included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for these tenant improvement obligations in connection with the mortgage loan agreement entered into in June 2016.

Employment Agreements—The Company has an employment agreement withone of its officers. Under certain circumstances, this employment agreement provides for (1) severance payment equal to the annual base salary paid to the officer and (2) death and disability payments in an amount equal totwo times andone time, respectively, the annual base salary paid to the officer.

Litigation—The Company is not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceedings nor, to the Company’s knowledge, are any material legal proceedings currently threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, the Company is periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to the Company’s business. While the outcome of these legal actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

A subsidiary of the Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in connection with injuries sustained by a third-party contractor at a property previously owned by such subsidiary. Such subsidiary has reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit with the plaintiff, pursuant to which such subsidiary’s share of the settlement payment is expected to be approximately $700,000. The Company anticipates that such payment will be made directly from the Company’s insurance carrier, which will be responsible for the entire payment. Accordingly, the Company does not expect this lawsuit to have any adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain the level of distributions on the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

SBA Related—If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from the Company. As of December 31, 2024, the Company serviced an aggregate of $222.8 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from the Company in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the Company does not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials.

17. INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders.

The Company has wholly owned TRS’s which are subject to federal and state income taxes. The income generated from the TRS’s is taxed at normal corporate rates.

The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from federal and state statutory rates. A reconciliation of the provision for income tax attributable to the TRSs’ income from continuing operations computed at federal statutory rates to the income tax provision reported in the financial statements is as follows:

The components of the Company’s net deferred tax asset, which are included in other assets, are as follows:

The net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were generated by TRSs and are available to offset future taxable income of these TRSs.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no reserves for uncertain tax positions have been established and the Company does not anticipate any material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded to occur within the next 12 months.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, signed into law in late December 2017, made sweeping changes to provisions of the Code applicable to businesses. The CARES Act, signed into law in March 2020, made additional changes to provisions on the Code applicable to the businesses. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law in August 2022 also made changes to the Code applicable to businesses. Management has reviewed these statutory changes and determined that the impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements is not material.

The Company’s reportable segments during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 consist ofthree types of commercial real estate properties, namely, office, hotel and multifamily, as well as a segment for the Company’s lending business.

For the Company’s lending segment, the Company defines net operating income as interest income net of interest expense and general overhead expenses.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s executive management team, comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the 1st Vice President for portfolio oversight of CIM.

The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment net operating income (loss). All expense categories on the statement of operations are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure. The CODM uses net operating income (loss) to make key operating decisions, such as identifying attractive investment opportunities, evaluating underwriting standards, determining the appropriate level of leverage to enhance returns on equity and deciding on the sources of financing.

The net operating income (loss) of the Company’s segments for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:
