Previous wording

Critical accounting policies are defined as those most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable or other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three

This mortgage balloon payment demand provision has a significant impact on our financial ratios and the perception of our short-term liquidity. As of this date of filing, the bank has not communicated any intent to accelerate repayment. The Company maintains a positive relationship with the bank and remains in full compliance with terms of the loan provisions. Although the interest rate is currently favorable, the Company may choose to refinance the mortgage, however, the bank is under no obligation to refinance if or when a balloon payment comes due upon demand.

Previous wording

The Company’s ability to increase cash flows from operations, and to obtain additional sources of borrowings is dependent on many factors such as the continuously evolving local and macroeconomic commercial real estate markets, the effects of the overall economy, fluctuating interest rates, inflation, trends of office versus remote work practices, city and state regulations, and increasing real estate tax assessments. Furthermore, the Company anticipates the need for additional financing in fiscal year 2026 for capital expenditures. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in securing additional sources of financing when needed.

Furthermore, the Company anticipates the need for additional financing in fiscal year 2026 for capital expenditures. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in securing additional sources of financing when needed. In the event we are unable to secure additional sources of financing and our liquidity needs exceed our access to liquidity, we may need to sell or divest one or more of our properties or real estate assets to manage our liquidity needs, thus reducing our earnings and such property sale may be necessary at an inopportune time and on unfavorable terms. The determination of whether a particular property should be sold or otherwise disposed of will generally be made after consideration of relevant factors, including tax implications, prevailing economic conditions, other investment opportunities, and considerations specific to the condition, value, and financial performance of the property and the Company’s liquidity needs.
