ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal executive offices are located at
4400 Route 9 South, Freehold, New Jersey 07728, where we have maintained our offices since our founding in 2014. We currently lease this
office space pursuant to a lease agreement, as described further below.
Sale of Route 9 Property
The building located at 4400 Route 9 South was
previously owned by our wholly owned subsidiary, Avalon RT 9 Properties, LLC. On February 18, 2026, we completed the sale of 100% of the
membership interests of Avalon RT 9 Properties, LLC to Wenzhao Lu, a director of our company, for a total aggregate purchase price of approximately
$9,000,000. The sale price was determined based on an independent appraisal of the property conducted by CBRE, which valued the building
at $8.7 million, and was reviewed and approved by the disinterested members of our Board of Directors in accordance with our related party
transaction policy. The transaction is described further in Item 13 — Certain Relationships and Related Transactions of this Annual
Report. Following the completion of the sale, we continue to lease our principal executive offices at 4400 Route 9 South from the new
owner pursuant to a lease agreement.
Other Office Space
We lease additional office space to support our
operations. The location of our office facilities is not critical to our operations, and we anticipate no difficulty in extending our
existing leases or obtaining comparable office space on commercially reasonable terms as needed.
Lease Obligations
We are obligated under various lease agreements
providing for office space that expire at various dates through December 31, 2027. Total rent expense under these lease agreements was
approximately $97,000 and $127,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Adequacy of Facilities
We believe that our existing facilities are suitable
and adequate to meet our current operational needs. We intend to add new facilities or expand our existing facilities as we add employees
and as our business grows, and we believe that suitable additional or substitute space will be available on commercially reasonable terms
to accommodate any such expansion.
