−Removed: Compensation Discussion and Analysis
−Removed: This Compensation Discussion and Analysis relates to compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers during fiscal year 2023.
−Removed: 2023 Named Executive Officers
−Removed: The following individuals were our named executive officers during 2023:
−Removed: David Thompson Chief Executive Officer
−Removed: Berlin Chief Financial Officer and Secretary;
−Removed: Executive Vice President and Treasurer
−Removed: The Company is externally operated by the Operator, an affiliate of CIM Group, L.P.
−Removed: In addition, CIM Service Provider, LLC (the “Administrator”), a subsidiary of CIM Group, provides certain administrative services to the Company and its subsidiaries.
−Removed: Berlin was appointed Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company on August 10, 2022.
−Removed: Thompson, Chief Executive Officer is employed by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator and his compensation is determined by, and paid to them directly by, such affiliate.
−Removed: The Company did not pay Mr.
−Removed: Thompson any compensation in 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: Therefore, the compensation of Mr.
−Removed: Thompson is not discussed in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
−Removed: Berlin has an employment agreement with the Company as described below under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” Mr.
−Removed: Berlin has been jointly employed by the Company and an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator.
−Removed: Berlin became the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company in August 2022.
−Removed: In addition, during 2022, Mr.
−Removed: Berlin was the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Company, Chief Financial Officer of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary lending business and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of that business.
−Removed: In each of 2023 and 2022, Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation was paid by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator.
−Removed: Such affiliate was then reimbursed by the Company.
−Removed: In each of 2023 and 2022, the amount of the reimbursement was based on Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s time spent working on matters pertaining to the lending business of the Company;
−Removed: in 2022, the amount of the reimbursement was also based on Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s role as Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Company from January 1, 2022 to August 10, 2022 (when Mr.
−Removed: Berlin assumed the additional role of Chief Financial Officer and Secretary).
−Removed: In each of 2023 and 2022, such affiliate did not seek reimbursement from the Company for the time that Mr.
−Removed: Berlin spent in his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
−Removed: Role of Management and the Board in the Compensation Setting Process
−Removed: Management of the Company and the Board had no role in setting the compensation of Mr.
−Removed: Stockholder Advisory Vote
−Removed: Because stockholders expressed support for the Company’s executive compensation programs in 2023 by approving such programs, on an advisory basis, and because Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s terms of employment are governed by the terms of his existing employment agreement, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to the Company’s executive compensation programs in 2023.
−Removed: Compensation Policies and Practices in Relation to Risk Management
−Removed: As of December 31, 2023, the Company had five employees.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Compensation Committee does not believe that the Company’s compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
−Removed: Use of Independent Compensation Consultant
−Removed: The Compensation Committee did not engage the services of an independent compensation consultant in 2023.
−Removed: Determining 2023 Executive Compensation
−Removed: As described above, Mr.
−Removed: Thompson is employed and paid by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator and did not receive any compensation from the Company.
−Removed: Therefore, his 2023 and 2022 compensation is not discussed herein.
−Removed: In each of 2023 and 2022, as described above under “—2023 Name Executive Officers,” Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation that was attributable to the time that he spent in his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company was not borne by the Company but by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator.
−Removed: Accordingly, the Board did not play a role in determining Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation.
−Removed: 2023 Base Salary and Annual Cash Incentive
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation that was attributable to the time that he spent in his role as Chief Financial Officer of the Company was not borne by the Company but by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator as described above under “—2023 Name Executive Officers.” Accordingly, the Board did not play a role in determining Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation.
−Removed: Severance and Change in Control Agreements
−Removed: Berlin’s employment agreement with the Company provides for a severance payment as specified therein and as described below.
−Removed: Tax Considerations
−Removed: Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) generally limits the deductibility of compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1,000,000 in any one year.
−Removed: The Compensation Committee was aware of the impact of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), but our named executive officers did not receive compensation from the Company in excess of the $1,000,000 limit.
−Removed: The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the tax consequences when determining named executive officer compensation.
−Removed: As in the past, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, reserves the right to make compensation payments that are nondeductible.
−Removed: Hedging and Pledging Restrictions
−Removed: The Company believes it is inappropriate for any director, officer or employee of the Company to enter into speculative transactions in the Company’s equity securities.
−Removed: The Company’s Trading Policy prohibits all such persons, and members of their households or immediate family (spouse and minor children), from engaging in all speculative financial transactions involving securities of the Company, including buying and selling put and call options or engaging in short selling, and hedging transactions with respect to securities of the Company, including purchasing financial instruments or entering into transactions (such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of equity securities of the Company.
−Removed: Holding and exercising options or
−Removed: other securities granted under any equity incentive plan of the Company are not prohibited by the Company’s Trading Policy.
−Removed: Additionally, the Company’s Trading Policy permits pledging of securities of the Company only with the approval of an attorney designated by the Company.
−Removed: Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
−Removed: Our Compensation Committee is comprised of two of our independent directors.
−Removed: Neither of them (1) has at any time served as an officer or employee of the Company or (2) has or had any relationship requiring disclosure pursuant to the SEC’s rules regarding related party transactions (i.e., Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K).
−Removed: None of our executive officers has served as a director or member of the Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.
−Removed: Compensation Committee Report

−Removed: Assuming all vacation days are taken and all reasonable business expenses have been reimbursed, based on the Company’s best estimate, assuming the applicable scenario occurred on December 31, 2023, the Company would have owed Mr.
−Removed: Berlin $700,000 (representing two times his annual base salary) if he died or $350,000 (representing his annual base salary) if he became disabled or if the Company terminated his employment without Cause.
−Removed: Pay Versus Performance Table

−Removed: 2021 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 53.48 $ (851)
−Removed: ___________________
−Removed: (1) Our PEO for each of 2023, 2022 and 2021 was Mr.
−Removed: Thompson, our current Chief Executive Office.
−Removed: As discussed under “—Summary Compensation Table” above, Mr.
−Removed: Thompson is employed by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator and his compensation is determined by, and paid to them directly by, such affiliate.
−Removed: The Company did not pay Mr.
−Removed: Thompson any compensation in any of the foregoing years.
−Removed: (2) Our other NEO for 2023 is Mr.
−Removed: Berlin and our other NEO for 2022 are Mr.
−Removed: Berlin, our current Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Mr.
−Removed: Nathan DeBacker, our prior Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.
−Removed: Our other NEO for 2021 was Mr.
−Removed: Nathan DeBacker.
−Removed: DeBacker was employed by an affiliate of the Operator through August 10, 2022 and the Administrator and his compensation was determined by, and paid to them directly by, such affiliate.
−Removed: The Company did not pay Mr.
−Removed: DeBacker any compensation in 2022 and 2021.
−Removed: In each of 2023 and 2022, Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation was paid by an affiliate of the Operator and the Administrator.
−Removed: Such affiliate was then reimbursed by the Company based on Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s time spent working on matters pertaining to the lending business of the Company;
−Removed: during 2022, such reimbursement also included Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s role as Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Company from January
−Removed: 1, 2022 to August 10, 2022 (when Mr.
−Removed: Berlin assumed the additional role of Chief Financial Officer and Secretary).
−Removed: The amount of such reimbursement is provided in the table above, consistent with the amount reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.
−Removed: (3) The SCT Amount and the CAP Amounts are the same because Mr.
−Removed: Berlin did not receive any equity awards or pension benefits as part of his compensation and therefore the adjustments provided by the applicable rules adopted by the SEC do not apply to Mr.
−Removed: Berlin’s compensation.
−Removed: (4) Pursuant to applicable SEC disclosure rules, assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2020.
−Removed: Description of Relationship Between CAP Amounts and cumulative Total Shareholder Return and Net Income
−Removed: Berlin became Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company in August 2022.
−Removed: Prior to that Mr.
−Removed: Berlin was not a “named executive officer” of the Company.
−Removed: Berlin becoming Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, his compensation was no longer charged to the Company for any services that he performed as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company.
−Removed: Further, the Company relies on CIM Group for its accounting and finance functions.
−Removed: As a result, the Company believes that any comparison between CAP Amounts and total shareholder returns or net income is not meaningful.
−Removed: Director Compensation
−Removed: The Company uses a combination of cash and share based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board.
−Removed: In setting compensation for the independent directors of the Board, the Compensation Committee considers, among other things, the substantial time commitment on the part of the directors in fulfilling their duties as well as the skill level it requires of directors.
−Removed: In addition, all members of the Board are reimbursed by the Company for their expenses related to attending meetings of the Board and its committees.
−Removed: The cash component of each independent director’s compensation is set forth according to the following schedule:
−Removed: Annual board retainer $55,000
−Removed: Annual audit committee chairman retainer $20,000
−Removed: The annual Board retainer and the annual Audit Committee chairman retainer are payable quarterly in advance.
−Removed: No separate retainer is paid for an independent director’s serving as chair of the Compensation Committee or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
−Removed: On an annual basis, each director is expected to receive restricted shares of Common Stock valued at $55,000 on the date of grant (based on the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of the grant).
−Removed: These shares vest on the anniversary of the grant if the grantee continues to serve as a director of the Company at such time.
−Removed: The compensation arrangement for each independent director in 2024 is expected to be substantially the same as the annualized compensation arrangement for the independent directors in 2023, which is set forth in the table below:
−Removed: Director Compensation in 2023
−Removed: The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our director compensation during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:

−Removed: The grant date fair value of the restricted shares is based on the per share closing price of our Common Stock on August 2, 2023, which was $4.50.

Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of investments in real estate for impairment involves an initial assessment of each real estate asset to determine whether events or changes in circumstances exist that may indicate that the carrying amounts of each investment in real estate is no longer recoverable.
−Removed: Possible indications of impairment may include, but is not limited to, changes in anticipated holding periods, changes in real estate market conditions, property performance, and occupancy, and additional property valuation assumptions including discount and terminal capitalization rates.
−Removed: When events or changes in circumstances exist, the Company evaluates its investment in real estate for impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of each asset to the respective carrying amount.
+Added: When events or changes in circumstances exist, the Company evaluates its investments in real estate for impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of each asset to the respective carrying amount.
If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, an analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset.
−Removed: The Company makes significant assumptions to evaluate investments in real estate for possible indications of impairment.
−Removed: Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the investment in real estate identified for further analysis.
For those investments in real estate where indications of impairment have been identified, the Company makes significant estimates and assumptions to determine whether the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset exceed the carrying amount of the investment in real estate.
−Removed: Management concluded that the carrying value of the assets were recoverable and therefore were not subjected to a discounted cash flow analysis.

−Removed: undiscounted future cash flows of the properties include rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, estimated holding period, occupancy, capital expenditures and terminal capitalization rates.
−Removed: We identified the determination of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and certain assumptions used for the undiscounted future cash flows of the properties as a critical audit matter because of (1) the significant assumptions management makes when determining whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred indicating that the carrying amounts of investments in real estate assets may not be recoverable and (2) for those investments in real estate where indications of impairment have been identified, the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to evaluate whether the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset exceed the carrying amount of the property, including those related to rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, estimated holding period, occupancy, capital expenditures and terminal capitalization rates.
−Removed: This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate (1) whether management appropriately identified impairment indicators and (2) the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, estimated holding period, occupancy, capital expenditures and terminal capitalization rates for the undiscounted future cash flows analysis.
+Added: Management concluded that the carrying value of the assets
+Added: were recoverable and therefore it was not required to perform an analysis of the fair value of the assets.
+Added: Estimates and assumptions used for the undiscounted future cash flows of the properties include rental rates, lease-up period, growth rates, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures and terminal capitalization rates.
