Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, set forth information relating to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, and operating results. Such risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, liquidity and operating results, and there have been no material changes to those risk factors for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. except for the following updates:

We depend on certain agencies of the City of New York, as a single government tenant in our office buildings, which could cause an adverse effect on us, including our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow when these agencies opt to early terminate or opt not to renew their leases.

Our rental revenue depends on entering into leases with and collecting rents from tenants. As of September 30, 2024, Kings County Court, the Human Resources Administration, and the Department of Environmental Protection, all of which are agencies of the City of New York, leased an aggregate of 548,580 rentable square feet of commercial space at our commercial office properties at 141 Livingston Street and 250 Livingston Street, representing approximately 22% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of February 23, 2024, The City of New York, a municipal corporation acting through the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (“NYC”), notified us of its intention to terminate its lease at 250 Livingston Street effective August 23, 2025. The lease generally provides for rent payments in the amount of $15.4 million per annum. The Company may be unable to replace NYC as a tenant or unable to replace them with other commercial tenants at comparable rent rates, may incur substantial costs to improve the vacated space or may have to offer significant inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. In connection with the termination of the 250 Livingston lease, pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement related to $125 million building mortgage, we expect to establish shortly a cash management account for the benefit of the lender, into which we will be obligated to deposit all revenue generated by the building at 250 Livingston Street. All amounts remaining in such cash management account after the lender’s allocations set forth in the loan agreement will be disbursed to us once the tenant cure conditions are satisfied under the loan agreement. If we are unable to replace the NYC lease at comparable rents, we may not be able to cure the conditions listed in the loan agreement. If the excess cash is not released to us, it could impact our available cash to fund corporate operations and pay dividends and distributions to our stockholders.

If NYC were to decide not to renew the 141 Livingston Street lease which expires December 27, 2025, which is the stated termination date pursuant to the terms of the lease, we would be at risk of not being able to replace the NYC as a tenant, leasing the space below the current rates, incurring costs to improve the space or offer other inducements to fill the space, all of which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. If we are not able to extend or replace the NYC lease at our 141 Livingston property for a minimum of a five year term, we will be required to either fund an escrow account in the amount of $10,000 payable in equal monthly payments over the 18 months after lease expiration or deliver to the lender a letter of credit in the amount of $10,000.

In addition, on October 28, 2024 we received notice that as of October 7, 2024 the servicing of the mortgage note was transferred to a special servicer (“Special Servicer”) due to, they contend, our failure to make certain required payments under the loan, including, but not limited to, the reserve monthly deposit. The Special Servicer has demanded that we pay $2,222 of reserve payments into an escrow account immediately and continued monthly payments of $555 for an additional 14 months, $1,166 of default interest and late charges through October 7, 2024, and an additional $10 per diem interest for each day thereafter. We contend the Special Servicer has misinterpreted the terms of the loan agreement requiring monthly reserve payments beginning on July 7, 2024, and that the Company has no obligation to make reserve payments at this time under the terms of the loan agreement. We continue to discuss this issue with the Special Servicer.

None.** **
