Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONSOLI DATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature of Operations
Generation Income Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed as a Maryland corporation in September 2015. The Company is an internally managed real estate investment company focused on acquiring and managing income-producing retail, office and industrial properties net leased to high quality tenants in major markets throughout the United States.
The Company formed Generation Income Properties L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) in October 2015. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. The Company is the general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of December 31, 2024 owned 88.9% of the outstanding common units of the Operating Partnership. The Company formed a Maryland entity GIP REIT OP Limited LLC in 2018 that owns 0.002% of the Operating Partnership.
The Company places each property in a separate entity which may have a Redeemable Non-Controlling interest as a member.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 27 and 26 properties, respectively.
Management’s Liquidity Plans
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, management is required to assess a company's ability to continue as going concern within one year from financial statement issuance and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Management’s analysis can only include the potential mitigating impact of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the issuance date if (a) it is probable that management’s plans will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, and (b) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will alleviate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. This presentation contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described below.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated positive operating cash flows of $1,022,362 and had cash on hand of $647,439 as of December 31, 2024. As a result of our recurring losses, our projected cash requirement to cover operating needs, and our current liquidity, management's plans have comprised refinancing and extending terms for preferred equity and loans and optimizing portfolio assets and divesting where property performance has not met management objectives or where market conditions provide favorable opportunities. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been improved upon by implementing and executing management’s plan, and the Company’s liquidity and profitability has continued to improve, accordingly.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
The Company adopted the calendar year as its basis of reporting. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Generation Income Properties, Inc. and the Operating Partnership and all of the direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and the Company’s subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Theconsolidated financial statements include the accounts of all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as non-controlling interests or redeemable non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interests are adjusted each period for additional contributions, distributions, and the allocation of net income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interests. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, only the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of commitments and contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements could change significantly if economic conditions were to weaken.
Cash
The Company considers all demand deposits, cashier’s checks and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. Amounts included in restricted cash represent funds held by the Company related to tenant escrow reimbursements and immediate repair reserve. The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash that sums to the total of those amounts at the end of the periods presented on the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
| As of December 31, | As of December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $612,939 | $3,117,446 |
| Restricted cash | 34,500 | 34,500 |
| Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | $647,439 | $3,151,946 |
Deferred Financing Costs
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company expensed $0 of stock issuance costs. The Company amortized debt issuance costs to interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $202,621 and $146,745, respectively. The Company paid debt issuance costs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $28,903 and $371,959, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company leases real estate to its tenants under long-term net leases which the Company accounts for as operating leases. Those leases that have fixed and determinable rent increases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition to straight-line rents, deferred rent liability includes prepaid rent of the following:
| As of December 31, | As of December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Prepaid Rent | $196,442 | $280,332 |
The Company reviews the collectability of charges under its tenant operating leases on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as 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 where the property is located. In the event that collectability exists with respect to any tenant changes, the Company would recognize an adjustment to rental income. The Company’s review of collectability of charges under its operating leases includes any accrued rental revenues related to the straight-line rents. There were no allowances for tenant receivables recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company’s leases provide for reimbursement from tenants for common area maintenance (“CAM”), insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses. A portion of our operating cost reimbursement revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued.
The Company often recognizes above- and below-market lease intangibles in connection with acquisitions of real estate. The capitalized above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining term of the related leases.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records all equity-based incentive grants to employees and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors in compensation costs in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations based on their fair values determined on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the outstanding equity awards.
Investments in Real Estate – Operating Properties
Acquisitions of real estate are recorded at cost. The Company assigns the purchase price of real estate to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on fair value. Tangible assets consist of land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of the value of in-place leases and above or below market leases assumed with the acquisition. At the time of acquisition, the Company assesses whether the purchase of the real estate falls within the definition of a business under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and to date has concluded that all asset transactions are asset acquisitions. Therefore, each acquisition has been recorded at the purchase price whereas assets and liabilities, inclusive of closing costs, are allocated to land, building, site improvements, tenant improvements and intangible assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.
The fair value of the in-place leases are estimated as the cost to replace the leases including loss of rent, commissions and legal fees. The in-place leases are amortized over the remaining team of the leases as amortization expense. The fair value of the above- or below- market lease is estimated as the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the estimated current market lease rate expected over the remaining non-cancelable life of the lease. The capitalized above or below market lease values are amortized as a decrease or increase to rental income over the remaining term of the lease inclusive of the renewal option periods that are considered probable at acquisition.
Intangible assets and liabilities consist of the value of in-place leases and above- and below- market leases assumed with the acquisition. At the time of acquisition, the Company assesses whether the purchase of the real estate falls within the definition of a business under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and to date has concluded that all asset transactions are asset acquisitions. Therefore, each acquisition has been recorded at the purchase price whereas assets and liabilities, inclusive of closing costs, are allocated to land, building, site improvements, tenant improvements and intangible assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.
Real Estate Held for Sale
Management evaluates portfolio assets periodically for market alignment and value contribution. Assets identified for disposition are accounted as held for sale when certain criteria have been met, and management believes it is probable that the disposition will occur within one year. Properties are held for sale for a period longer than one year if events or circumstances out of the Company’s control occur that delay the sale and while management continues to be committed to the plan of sale and is performing actions necessary to respond to the conditions causing the delay the properties held for sale remain salable in their current condition. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell, and depreciation and amortization are no longer recognized. Held for sale properties are evaluated quarterly to ensure that properties continue to meet the held for sale criteria. If properties are required to be reclassified from held for sale to held for use due to changes to a plan of sale, they are recorded at the lower of fair value or the carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used. Impairments are measured to the extent the current book value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset less disposition costs for any assets classified as held for sale.
Properties that do not meet the held for sale criteria are accounted for as operating properties. As of December 31, 2024, the property at 15091 SW Alabama 20, LLC is recorded as held for sale and is expected to be divested during the second quarter of 2025. The aforementioned property had previously been recorded as held for sale under a PSA with a different buyer at a sales price of $6.15 million, which resulted in a $1.1 million impairment loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2024. That sale was not consummated. Under the currently active PSA, the sale price of $7.2 million, would allow for the recapture of approximately $1 million of the previously recorded unrealized loss. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the held for sale entry and has recorded a net unrealized loss of approximately $80,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024
Depreciation Expense
Real estate and related assets are stated net of accumulated depreciation. Renovations, replacements and other expenditures that improve or extend the life of assets are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the buildings, which are generally between 15 and 50 years, and site improvements, which are generally between 5 to 9 years. Tenant improvements are amortized over the lease terms of the tenants, which is generally between 2 and 10 years, withtwo tenant improvements amortized over 27 years.
Lease Liabilities
The Company has a certain property within its portfolio that is on land subject to a ground lease with a third party, which is classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, the Company owns only a long-term leasehold in this property. The building and improvements constructed on the leased land are capitalized as investment in real estate in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the lease term.
Under FASB ASC 842, Leases, the Company recognizes a Lease liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets for its ground lease and corresponding Right of use asset related to this same ground lease which is classified as an operating lease. A key input in estimating the Lease liability and resulting Right of use asset is establishing the discount rate in the lease, which since the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable, requires additional inputs for the longer-term ground lease, including mortgage market-based interest rates that correspond with the remaining term of the lease, the Company's credit spread, and the payment terms present in the lease. This discount rate is applied to the remaining unpaid minimum rental payments for the lease to measure the Lease liability.
Impairments on real estate investments and acquired lease intangibles
The Company reviews real estate investments and related acquired lease intangibles, for possible impairment by applying FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, when certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable through operations plus estimated disposition proceeds. Events or changes in circumstances that may become impairment indicators are, but not limited to, significant changes in real estate market conditions, estimated residual values, and an expectation to sell assets before the end of the previously estimated life.
There were no impairments during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The valuation of impaired assets is determined using valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, and purchase offers received from third parties, which are Level 3 inputs. The Company may consider a single valuation technique or multiple valuation techniques, as appropriate, when estimating the fair value of its real estate. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and estimates can differ materially from actual results.
Impairment of Equity Method Investees
A loss in value of investments in real estate partnerships, which are accounted under the equity method of accounting, other than a temporary decline, must be recognized in the period in which the loss occurs. If the Company identifies events or circumstances that indicate that the value of the Company's investment may be impaired, it evaluates the investment by calculating the estimated fair value of the investment by discounting estimated future cash flows over the expected term of the investment. There were no such impairments in the Company's investment holdings during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Section 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) commencing with our taxable year ending December 31, 2021. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its taxable income that is currently distributed to stockholders. Accordingly, the only provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to the Company's consolidated taxable REIT subsidiary of which no income was generated during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company also recognizes liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits which are recognized if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is not more-likely-than-not that the positions will be sustained on examination, including resolution of the related processes, if any. As of each balance sheet date, unrecognized benefits are reassessed and adjusted if the Company’s judgment changes as a result of new information. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. At December 31, 2024, the Company's tax returns for the years 2020 forward remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations.
Earnings per Share
Inaccordance with FASB ASC 260, basic earnings/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company that is available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of restricted stock-based compensation awards. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of warrants), and convertible debt, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive securities such as warrants, options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total number of common stock equivalents was 891,012 and 989,716, respectively, and composed of stock warrants and unvested restricted shares. The Company incurred a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares would be antidilutive.
Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASU 2023-07, which we adopted in our fiscal year 2024, the Company is required to disclose certain financial reporting in relation to operating segments, even if it has a single operating and reportable segment. The Company engages in a single business operating segment: leasing our property to our tenants. The chief operating decision maker reviews economic data at the real estate portfolio level and allocates resources on the basis of reviewing financial results for the consolidated entity and uses consolidated net loss as the primary measure of profit (loss) for the single reportable segment.
The Company is a real estate investment trust focused on acquiring, managing and divesting of income-producing retail, office, and industrial properties leased to high quality tenants under net operating leases. All of the properties are subject to net or similar leases, where the tenant bears all or substantially all of the costs, including cost increases, for real estate taxes, utilities, insurance and ordinary repairs. All of the properties are located in the United States of America and operate within a comparable regulatory environment.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews the business on a consolidated basis to assess performance and make operating decisions. The Company has only one operating segment because of its organizational and management structure, as well as the information used by the CODM to make decisions about resource allocation and assess performance, which is the consolidated financial statements.
The CODM uses consolidated net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders, as reported on the consolidated statements of operations, as a primary measure when determining where to make investments in accordance with the Company’s investment strategies. The CODM manages the business using consolidated expense categories as reported on the consolidated statements of operations, including analysis comparing such expense categories to their forecasted amounts for the single operating segment when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. Details of the Company's assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the consolidated balance sheets with particular emphasis on the Company’s available liquidity, including its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and liabilities.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. The valuation of derivative instruments requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. Fair values of our derivatives are estimated by pricing models that consider the forward yield curves and discount rates. Such amounts and the recognition of such amounts are subject to estimates that may change in the future. See Note 12 for additional information.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the Company's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Company's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. The Company also re-measures nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, initially measured at fair value in a business combination or other new basis event, at fair value in subsequent periods if a re-measurement event occurs. See Derivative Financial Instruments in Note 12 for additional information on the Company's fair value measurements.

Note 6 – Non-Controlling Interests
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests (Temporary Equity)
Operating Unit Holders
LMB Owenton I LLC
As part of the Company’s acquisition ofone property on January 14, 2022 for approximately $2,264,000 in Tampa, FL, the Operating Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with LMB Owenton I LLC that resulted in the issuance of 110,957 GIP LP Units at $10.00 per share for a total value of $1,109,570. After 24 months, the contribution agreement allows for the investor to require the Operating Partnership to redeem, all or a portion of its units for either (i) the Redemption Amount (within the meaning of the Partnership Agreement), or (ii) until forty nine (49) months from date of Closing, cash in an agreed-upon Value (within the meaning of the Partnership Agreement) of $10.00 per share. As such, the Company has determined this equity should be classified as temporary equity at redemption value. On February 7, 2023, the Operating Partnership entered into a Unit Issuance Agreement and Amendment to Contribution and Subscription Agreement with LMB Owenton I LLC in which the Operating Partnership and LMB Owenton I LLC agreed to delay the Contributor’s right to require the redemption of the Contributor’s GIP LP Units in the Operating Partnership until after 36 months on January 14th, 2025 and for a reduced redemption price of $7.15 per GIP LP Unit. Such agreement was made in consideration of the issuance to LMB Owenton I LLC of an additional 44,228 GIP LP Units in the Operating Partnership, resulting in Contributor owning an aggregate of 155,185 GIP LP Units in the Operating Partnership at redemption value of $1,109,570 as of December 31, 2024.
Norfolk, VA Partnership
As part of the Company’s acquisition oftwo properties for approximately $19,134,400 on September 30, 2019 in Norfolk, Virginia, the "Norfolk, Virginia properties", the Operating Partnership entered into contribution agreements withtwo entities (Greenwal, L.C. and Riverside Crossing, L.C.) that resulted in the issuance of 349,913 common units in the Operating Partnership at $20.00 per share for a total value of $6,998,251. Greenwal, L.C and Riverside Crossing, L.C. have since been dissolved and the common units were then directly owned by the former members of the two entities. Beginning on the first anniversary of the closing, the contribution agreements allowed for thetwo investors to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of its units for either (i) the Redemption Amount (within the meaning of the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement), or (ii) until forty-nine (49) months from date of closing, cash in an agreed-upon Value (within the meaning of the Operating Partnership’s Partnership Agreement) of $20.00 per share, as set forth on the Notice of Redemption. As such, the Company has determined their equity should be classified as a temporary equity at redemption value.

LC2-NNN Pref, LLC
In connection with the acquisition of the Modiv Portfolio, the Operating Partnership and LC2 entered into an Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement for GIP SPE (the “GIP SPE Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which LC2 made a $12.0 million initial capital contribution to GIP SPE, together with a commitment to make an additional $2.1 million contribution upon the satisfactory completion of the acquisition of a tenant-in-common interest held by a third party in the Company’s Rockford, Illinois property (the “LC2 Investment”). The Company completed the acquisition of such tenant-in-common interest on September 7, 2023, for a purchase price of $1.3 million and LC2 made the additional $2.1 million capital contribution on September 11, 2023. LC2 made the LC2 Investment in exchange for a preferred equity interest in GIP SPE (the “Preferred Interest”). The Preferred Interest has a cumulative accruing distribution preference of 15.5% per year, compounded monthly, a portion of which in the amount of 5% per annum (compounded monthly) is deemed to be the “current preferred return,” and the remainder of which in the amount of 10.5% per annum (compounded monthly) is deemed to be the “accrued preferred return.” The GIP SPE operating agreement provides that operating distributions by GIP SPE will be made first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid current preferred return, with the balance being paid to the Operating Partnership, unless the “annualized debt yield” of GIP SPE is less than 10%, in which case the balance will be paid to LC2. For this purpose, “annualized debt yield” is calculated as the sum of senior debt and LC2 Investment divided by the trailing three-month annualized adjusted net operating income (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement) of GIP SPE. The GIP SPE Operating Agreement also provides that distributions from capital transactions will be paid first to LC2 to satisfy any accrued but unpaid preferred return, then to LC2 until the “Make-Whole Amount” (defined as the amount equal to 1.3 times the LC2 Investment) is reduced to zero, and then to the Operating Partnership.
The Preferred Interest is required to be redeemed in full by the Company on or before August 10, 2025 for a redemption amount equal to the greater of (i) the amount of the LC2 Investment plus the accrued preferred return, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount. Upon a failure to timely redeem the Preferred Interest, the preferred return will accrue at an increased rate of 18% per annum, compounded monthly. The Company will have the right to extend the Mandatory Redemption Date for two consecutive 12-month extension periods, provided that (i) LC2 is paid an extension fee of 0.01% of the outstanding amount of the LC2 Investment for each such extension, (ii) the preferred return is increased from 15.5% to 18% of which the accrued preferred return is increased from 10.5% to 13%, (iii) the trailing 6-month annualized adjusted net operating income (as defined in the GIP SPE Operating Agreement) is in excess of $5.0 million, (iv) GIP SPE and its subsidiaries’ senior debt is extended through the end of the extension period, and there are no defaults under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement.
Under the GIP SPE Operating Agreement, GIP SPE is also required to pay to Loci Capital, an affiliate of LC2, an equity fee of 1.5% of the LC2 Investment, with 1% having been paid upon the execution and delivery of the GIP SPE Operating Agreement and the 0.5% payable upon redemption of the LC2 Investment.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $0 and $87,264 of issuance costs related to the issuance of the Preferred Interest. Because of the redemption right, the Preferred Interest is presented as temporary equity at redemption value of $14,100,000 plus accrued but unpaid preferred interest of $2,874,975 as of December 31, 2024.

As part of the Company’s acquisition ofone property on November 30, 2020 for $1,847,700 in Tampa, FL, the Operating Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with GIP Fund 1, LLC that resulted in the issuance of 24,309 GIP LP Units in the Operating Partnership at $20.00 per share for a total value of $486,180. At the time of the acquisition, the Company’s President owned 11%of GIP Fund 1. GIP Fund 1 has since been dissolved and the GIP Units are now directly owned by the former members of GIP Fund 1. After 12 months, the contribution agreement allows for the former members of GIP Fund 1 to require the Operating Partnership to redeem, all or a portion of its GIP LP Units for common stock of the Company. As such, the Company has determined their equity should be classified as a Non-controlling interest.

Preferred Stock
On August 10, 2023, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a purchase agreement with Modiv and certain of its indirect subsidiaries, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership purchased from such indirect subsidiaries of Modiv, the Modiv Portfolio. The purchase price paid for the Modiv Portfolio was $42 million, consisting of $30 million in cash and $12 million in shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Modiv OP at the closing of the acquisition of the Modiv Portfolio.
Series A Preferred Stock
As part of the consideration for the acquisition of the Modiv Portfolio, the Company paid $12.0 millionin shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. On August 10, 2023, the Company filed Articles Supplementary for the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Articles Supplementary”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland designating the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock, which provides as follows.
Purchase Agreement.
In addition to customary terms relating to the purchase and sale of a portfolio of commercial properties, the material terms of the purchase agreement include (i) an agreement by Modiv to distribute the shares of common stock of the Company issuable upon the potential redemption by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock to Modiv’s shareholders and/or the holders of units of Modiv OP (“Modiv OP Unit Holders”), subject to Modiv receiving the approval of its lenders to make such distribution and subject to the redemption conditions described below, (ii) an agreement by Modiv that it will promptly distribute or sell shares of the Company’s common stock owned by it following such a redemption if Modiv’s ownership of common stock (together with any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock would be aggregated with Modiv’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) exceeds 19.9% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and (iii) an agreement by the Company to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement to register the distribution by Modiv to its shareholders and to Modiv OP Unit Holders and/or the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company filed such registration statement on September 29, 2023. In addition, the Company granted a waiver to Modiv from the ownership limitation set forth in the Company’s charter with respect to Modiv’s ownership of the Series A Preferred Stock and the common stock, if any, issuable upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Dividends.
As set forth in the Articles Supplementary, the Series A Preferred Stock ranked, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to all classes or series of the Company’s common stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, when, as and if authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, were entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 9.5% per annum of the $5.00 liquidation preference per share, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $0.475 per share, which would have increased to a rate of 12.0% of the $5.00 liquidation preference per share per annum, equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $0.60 per share, beginning on September 15, 2024. Dividends were payable monthly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each month, beginning on September 15, 2023.
Redemption.
Up until March 15, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock would have been redeemable at the Company’s option for either (i) cash, in whole or in part, at a price per share equal to the $5.00 liquidation preference, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared), if any, until the redemption date on each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed (the “Cash Redemption Price”) or (ii) subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, a number of shares of common stock (the “Underlying Shares”), in whole only and not in part, equal to the Cash Redemption Price, divided by the share price of the common stock as measured by the product of (a) the 60-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) from the date immediately preceding the date the Company provides notice of its intent to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock and (b)110%. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that it will be required to issue in order to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in full shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Ceiling”) and the minimum number of shares of common stock that the Company shall be required to issue in order to redeem the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in full shall be no less than 2,200,000 shares (the “Floor”); provided that the Ceiling would not apply if (i) the Company failed to pay as of the date of the redemption, all dividends accrued (whether or not authorized or declared) on the Series A Preferred Stock, to, but not including, the date of the redemption or (ii) at any time after August 10, 2023, and before redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company failed to pay a monthly dividend on the common stock or reduces, or announced its intent to reduce, the monthly dividend paid on shares of common stock to a rate lower than $0.0396 per share per month. Each of the Floor and the Ceiling was subject to proportionate adjustments for any share splits (including those effected pursuant to a distribution of the Company’s common stock), subdivisions, reclassifications or combinations with respect to the Company’s common stock as described in the Articles Supplementary.
In addition, the Company’s right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for the Underlying Shares was conditioned upon the Company obtaining the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of such Underlying Shares as required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market; such Underlying Shares being listed on Nasdaq; the SEC having declared effective, a registration statement registering the distribution of such Underlying Shares by Modiv to its stockholders and/or the resale of such Underlying Shares by Modiv; and Modiv having received the approval of its lenders to distribute such Underlying Shares to its stockholders.
After March 15, 2024, the Company would only have been able to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for the Cash Redemption Price, with Modiv consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, to a redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock for shares of common stock, on terms acceptable to Modiv.
In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) of the Company, the Company would have redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock, at the option of Modiv, for either (a) cash, in an amount equal to the Cash Redemption Price, (b) a number of shares of common stock equal to the Cash Redemption Price divided by the price per share of the common stock as measured by the VWAP of the common stock for the 60 trading days immediately preceding the date of the announcement of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration”) or (c) the kind and amount of consideration which Modiv would have owned or been entitled to receive had it held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Change of Control Share Redemption Consideration immediately prior to the effective time of the Change of Control.
Registration Rights Agreement.
Additionally, the Company and Modiv entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 10, 2023 (the “RRA”), with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. The RRA provided that Modiv would have the right to cause the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Modiv or its assigns on a delayed or continuous basis if such shares were not redeemed by the Company on or before March 15, 2024 The RRA also provided that, commencing March 16, 2024 until March 16, 2025, if requested by Modiv, the Company would use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Series A Preferred Stock to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock were then listed or, if the Common Stock were not then listed, on a national securities exchange selected by Modiv, provided that the Series A Preferred Stock met the listing requirements of any such securities exchange.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $0 and $362,384, respectively, of issuance costs related to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. Because of the redemption right, the non-controlling interest is presented as temporary equity at redemption value of $0 and $12,000,000 less issuance costs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid and accrued $0.0396 per share per month preferred stock dividends of $95,000 and $475,000, respectively, comprised of $0 and $380,000 paid to Modiv and $0 and $95,000 payable as of December 31, 204 and 2023, respectively.
In January 2024, all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shares were redeemed for common shares. See Note 13 below.
Note 8 – Leases
Lessor Accounting
Allof the Company's leases of real estate are classified as operating leases. The Company's Rental income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent. The Company’s leases also provide for reimbursement from tenants for common area maintenance (“CAM”), insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses (“Recoverable Costs”). A portion of our operating cost reimbursement revenue is estimated each period and is recognized as rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred and accrued. Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis. Variable lease income includes the tenants' contractual obligations to reimburse the Company for their portion of Recoverable Costs incurred. The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized as either fixed or variable lease income:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rental income | | |
| Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income | 8,086,951 | 6,595,120 |

(d) Adjustment effective April 1, 2027 equal to 5-year Treasury plus 2.5% and subject to a floor of 3.85%
(e) One loan in the amount of $21.0 million secured by 13 properties and allocated to each property based on each property's appraised value.
The Company amortized debt issuance costs to interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $202,621 and $146,745, respectively. The Company paid debt issuance costs for thetwelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $28,903 and $371,959, respectively.
Each mortgage loan requires the Company to maintain certain debt service coverage ratios as noted above. In addition, two mortgage loans, one encumbered bysix properties and requiring a 1.50 DSCR, and another stand alone mortgage loan requiring a 1.50 DSCR, require the Company to maintain a 54% loan to fair market stabilized value ratio. Fair market stabilized value shall be determined by the lender by reference to acceptable guides and indices or appraisals from time to time at its discretion. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, with the exception of one project level debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") covenant for PNC for 15091 SW Alabama 20, LLC. In January 2024, Pratt and Whitney Automation vacated the property at the end of their lease and the property remained vacant for six months, thereafter. In August 2024, the Company entered into a lease with Auburn University for approximately 50 percent of the property's leasable space. During the six months of physical and economic vacancy, the property's mortgage DSCR was below the required 1.25 threshold resulting in a covenant deviation. According to the governing loan documents, failing to meet DSCR coverage requirements is a technical default triggering the risk of forfeiture of the property, accelerating the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance of the loan at the lender's discretion. Subsequent to the report date, the Company executed a PSA to sell the property for $7.2 million with the transaction expected to close in May 2025 as detailed in the Exhibit 10.68.
On April 1, 2022, the Company entered into two mortgage loan agreements with an aggregate balance of $13.5 million to refinance seven of the Company's properties. The loan agreements consist ofone loan in the amount of $11.4 million secured bysix properties and allocated to each property based on each property's appraised value, andone loan in the amount of $2.1 million on the property previously held in the tenancy-in-common investment at an interest rate of 3.85% from April 1, 2022 through and until March 31, 2027. In conjunction with the LC2 Investment to purchase the remaining interest in the tenancy-in-common interest discussed above, the Company assumed the original $2.1 million loan on the property with a remaining balance of $2,079,178 and recognized a discount of $383,767. Effective April 1, 2027 and through the maturity date of March 31, 2032, the interest rate adjusts to the 5-year Treasury plus 2.5% and is subject to a floor of 3.85%. The Company’s CEO entered into a guarantee agreement pursuant to which he guaranteed the payment obligations under the promissory notes if they become due as a result of certain “bad-boy” provisions, individually and on behalf of the Operating Partnership.
On August 10, 2023, GIP13, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of GIP SPE ("GIP Borrower"), entered into a Loan Agreement with Valley Bank pursuant to which Valley Bank made a loan to the Company in the amount of $21.0 million to finance the acquisition of the Modiv Portfolio. The outstanding principal amount of the loan bears interest at an annual rate for each 30-day interest period equal to the compounded average of the secured overnight financing rate published by Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the thirty-day period prior to the last day of each 30-day interest rate for the applicable interest rate period plus 3.25%, with interest payable monthly after each 30-day interest period. However, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to fix the interest rate at 7.47% per annum. Payments of interest and principal in the amount of approximately $156,000 are due and payable monthly, with all remaining principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on a maturity date of August 10, 2028. The loan may generally be prepaid at any time without penalty in whole or in part, provided that there is no return of loan fees and prepaid financing fees. The loan is secured by first mortgages and assignments of rents in the properties comprising the Modiv Portfolio and eight other properties held by subsidiaries of GIP SPE that had outstanding loans with Valley. All of the mortgaged properties cross collateralize the loan, and the loan is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Company that hold the properties that comprise the Modiv Portfolio. The loan agreement also provides for customary events of default and other customary affirmative and negative covenants that are applicable to GIP Borrower and its subsidiaries, including reporting covenants and restrictions on investments, additional indebtedness, liens, sales of properties, certain mergers, and certain management changes.
The Company's President and CEO entered into a personal, full recourse guarantee with a $7,500,000 cap and has also personally guaranteed the repayment of the $10.6 million due under the 7-11 - Washington, DC; Starbucks - South Tampa, FL; vacant - Huntsville, AL loan as well as the $1.3 million loan secured by the Company's Sherwin-Williams - Tampa, FL property. In addition, the Company’s President and CEO has provided a guaranty of the Company’s nonrecourse carveout liabilities and obligations in favor of the lender for the GSA and PRA Holdings, Inc. - Norfolk, VA mortgage loans ("Bayport loans") with an aggregate principal amount of $11.5 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred a guaranty fee expense to the Company's CEO of $387,056 and $290,316, respectively, recorded to interest expense. As of December 31, 2024 the Company recorded $206,219 for guaranty fees payable which is included in accrued expenses. On August 9, 2022 the Company and Operating Partnership entered a Redemption Agreement with a unit holder. As such, the Company recorded an Other payable - related party in the amount of $2,912,300 upon execution of the Redemption Agreement entered into July 20, 2022 and has paid the note in full as of December 31, 2024. Remaining balances of $0 and $1,809,840 were outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
On October 14, 2022, the Company entered into a loan transaction that is evidenced by a secured non-convertible promissory note to Brown Family Enterprises, LLC, a preferred equity partner and therefore a related party, for $1,500,000 with a maturity of October 14, 2024, and bearing a fixed interest rate of 9%with simple interest payable monthly. The loan may be repaid without penalty at any time. The loan is secured by the Operating Partnership’s equity interest in its current direct subsidiaries that hold real estate assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement between the Operating Partnership and Brown Family Enterprises, LLC. On July 21, 2023, the Company amended and restated the promissory note to reflect an increase in the loan to $5.5 million and extend the maturity date thereof from October 14, 2024 to October 14, 2026. Except for the increase in the amount of the Loan and Note and the extension of the maturity date thereof, no changes were made to the original note.
Minimum required principal payments on the Company’s debt for subsequent years ending December 31 are as follows:
