BUSINESS
Organization
MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. (the “Parent Company,” together with its subsidiaries as discussed below, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an externally managed non-diversified real estate
investment trust (“REIT”), as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that had elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) until December 31, 2020, when we withdrew our election to be regulated as a BDC.
We remain registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and we will continue to file periodic reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and Form 8-K, as well as file
proxy statements and other reports required under the Exchange Act. As a result of the withdrawal of our election to be regulated as a BDC, we are no longer treated as an investment company for purposes of applying accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
We are advised by MacKenzie Real Estate Advisers, LP (the “Real Estate Adviser”) as to our real estate investments and by MCM Advisers, LP (the “Investment Adviser”) as to our securities portfolio
(together the “Real Estate Adviser” and the “Investment Adviser” are referred to as the “Advisers”). MacKenzie Capital Management, LP (“MacKenzie” or the “Administrator”) provides us with non-investment management services and
administrative services necessary for us to operate.
We filed our initial registration statement in June 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The
IPO commenced in January 2014 and concluded in October 2016. We filed a second registration statement with the SEC to register a subsequent public offering of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. The second offering commenced in
December 2016 and concluded on October 28, 2019. We filed a third registration statement with the SEC to register a public offering of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock that was declared effective by the SEC on October 31, 2019.
The third offering commenced shortly thereafter and ended on October 31, 2020.
On April 13, 2021, we filed a preliminary offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) pursuant to Regulation A with the SEC to sell up to $50,000,000 of shares of our Series A preferred stock at an
initial offering price of $25.00 per share. The sale of shares pursuant to this offering began in November 2021 after the definitive version of the Offering Circular was qualified by the SEC on November 2, 2021, which was re-qualified
again on November 8, 2022.
The Parent Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MRC TRS, Inc., (“TRS”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of California on February 22, 2016, and operates as a taxable REIT
subsidiary. TRS started its operation on January 1, 2017, and the financial statements of TRS have been consolidated with the Parent Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. On
December 20, 2017, a wholly owned subsidiary of TRS, MacKenzie NY Real Estate 2 Corp. (“MacKenzie NY 2”), was formed for the purpose of making certain limited investments in New York companies. We terminated TRS effective December 31,
2022, after the sale of its sole investment and transferred the ownership of MacKenzie NY 2 to the Parent Company. The financial statements of MacKenzie NY 2 have been consolidated with the Parent Company.
On May 20, 2020, we formed an operating partnership, MacKenzie Realty Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) for the purpose of acquiring and consolidating our wholly owned and
majority-owned subsidiaries within an entity that is able to offer tax-advantaged solutions to certain sellers.
On June 14, 2023, we sold Addison Corporate Center to a third party and terminated Addison Property Owner, LLC (“Addison Property Owner”), which was wholly owned by the Operating Partnership.

In March 2021, we, together with our joint venture partners, formed two operating companies: Madison-PVT Partners LLC (“Madison”) and PVT-Madison Partners LLC (“PVT”), to acquire and operate two
residential apartment buildings located in Oakland, California. We own 98.45% and 98.75% of equity units of Madison and PVT, respectively. The joint venture partners own the remaining 1.55% and 1.25% equity units of Madison and PVT,
respectively, and also hold a carried interest in both companies.
On October 4, 2021, we acquired a 90% economic interest in Hollywood Hillview Owner, LLC (“Hollywood Hillview”), a Delaware limited liability company through the Operating Partnership. The remaining 10%
economic interest in Hollywood Hillview is owned by an unaffiliated third party, True USA, LLC. Hollywood Hillview owns 100% of the membership interests in PT Hillview GP, LLC (the “PT Hillview”).
On January 25, 2022, through the Operating Partnership, we acquired a 98% limited liability company interest in MacKenzie BAA IG Shoreline LLC (“MacKenzie Shoreline”), formed to acquire, renovate, and
own the 84-unit multifamily building located at 1841 Laguna Street, Concord, CA. The joint venture partners own the remaining 2% of the limited liability company interest as well as a carried interest.
On April 1, 2022, we, and our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, FSP Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into a reverse triangular merger agreement with FSP Satellite Place Corp. (“FSP
Satellite”), pursuant to which the Merger Sub would be merged with and into FSP Satellite with FSP Satellite as the surviving entity, but renamed MacKenzie Satellite Place, Inc. (“MacKenzie Satellite”). On June 1, 2022, the merger
closed, and MacKenzie Satellite became our wholly owned subsidiary, which owns the Satellite Place building, a six-story Class “A” suburban office building containing approximately 134,785 rentable square feet of space located on
approximately 10 acres of land in Duluth, GA. The former shareholders of FSP Satellite received cash with the exception of two shareholders who elected to receive common and preferred stock of the Company in the amount of $27,503 and
$13,752, respectively. Subsequent to the completion of the merger, we have consolidated the financial statements of MacKenzie Satellite effective June 30, 2022.
On May 6, 2022, the Operating Partnership purchased 100% of the membership interests in eight limited liability companies and one parcel of entitled land from The Wiseman Company, LLC (“Wiseman”) for
$17,325,000 and $3,050,000, respectively. The limited liability companies own the general partnership interests in eight limited partnerships, each of which own a Class A or B office property in Napa, Fairfield, or Woodland,
California (the “Wiseman Properties”). The membership interest purchase price is subject to adjustments and holdbacks as provided in the membership interest purchase agreement. As part of the purchase agreement, $4,650,000 of the
purchase price was paid through the issuance of 206,666.67 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership and $750,000 of the land purchase price was paid through the issuance of 77,881.62 Class A units of the Operating Partnership. The
Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership are meant to mimic our Series A Preferred Shares, and the terms of such Units are described in the Partnership Unit Designation of the Series A Preferred Limited Partnership Units (Exhibit
4.2). We consolidated the financial statements of the eight limited liability companies (but not the Wiseman Properties themselves) effective June 30, 2022.
Wiseman is a full-service real estate syndicator, developer, broker, and property manager. It was founded in 1979 and serves as the general partner for nine currently active partnerships owning the
Wiseman Properties. Concurrently with acquiring the general partnership interests in the Wiseman Properties, the Operating Partnership also negotiated the right to acquire the limited partnership interest in each Wiseman Property at
pre-determined prices over the following two years. Management believes this transaction is strategically important as it focuses the portfolio on our desired geographic area (Western United States) and creates a captive pipeline of
properties which we can acquire when convenient over the next two years. Subsequently, on July 23, 2022, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of the limited partnership interest in First & Main, LP (“First &
Main”) for total purchase price of $3,376,322, of which $2,711,377 was paid through issuance of 120,505.66 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. We consolidated the financial statements of First & Main during the quarter
ended September 30, 2022. On October 1, 2022, in addition to the general partnership interest in 1300 Main, LP (“1300 Main”), the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the limited partnership interest in 1300 Main
for total purchase price of $6,480,582. We consolidated the financial statements of 1300 Main during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. On January 3, 2023, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the limited
partnership interest in Woodland Corporate Center Two, LP (“Woodland Corporate Center Two”) for total purchase price of $5,636,966, of which $3,242,557 was paid through the issuance of 144,113.63 Preferred Units of the Operating
Partnership. On February 1, 2023, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the limited partnership interest in Main Street West, LP (“Main Street West”) for total purchase price of $8,277,016. We consolidated the
financial statements of Woodland Corporate Center Two and Main Street West during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

On February 6, 2023, we formed a new entity, MRC Aurora, LLC (the “MRC Aurora”) for the purpose of owning, developing, renovating, leasing, managing, renting, and potentially selling certain real
property and building and improvements located at 5000 Wiseman Way, Fairfield, California (the “Aurora Project”). The Parent Company is the manager and the Operating Partnership is the sole common member of MRC Aurora. The Operating
Partnership contributed the entitled land located at 5000 Wiseman Way, Fairfield, California in exchange for the common membership interest. MRC Aurora plans to raise $10 million in preferred capital and also obtain a construction
loan to fund the development of the Aurora Project. As of June 30, 2023, MRC Aurora has not commenced selling the preferred units, making the Operating Partnership the sole equity holder of MRC Aurora. Therefore, we have consolidated
the financial statements of MRC Aurora.
We are externally managed by MacKenzie under the administration agreement dated and effective as of January 1, 2021 (the “Administration Agreement”). MacKenzie manages all of our affairs except for
providing investment advice. The Investment Adviser advises us in our assessment, acquisition, and divestiture of securities under the advisory agreement amended and restated effective January 1, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated
Investment Advisory Agreement”). The Real Estate Adviser advises us in our assessment, acquisition, and divestiture of real estate assets under the Advisory Management Agreement effective January 1, 2021 (the “Advisory Management
Agreement”). We pursue a strategy focused on investing primarily in real estate assets, and to a lesser extent (intended to be less than 20% of our portfolio) in illiquid or non-traded debt and equity securities issued by U.S.
companies generally owning commercial real estate. These companies are likely to be non-traded REITs, small-capitalization publicly traded REITs, public and private real estate limited partnerships, and limited liability companies.
As of June 30, 2023, we have raised approximately $119.10 million from our three common stock public offerings and $16.37 million from our Series A preferred stock offering pursuant to the Offering
Circular. As of June 30, 2023, we have issued common and preferred shares with gross proceeds of $14.19 million and $0.08 million, respectively, under our dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Of the total shares issued by us as of
June 30, 2023, approximately $13.36 million worth of common and preferred stock shares have been repurchased under our share repurchase program.
On February 27, 2023, we have announced the updated net asset value (“NAV”) of our common shares as of December 31, 2022. As a result, our Board of Directors has lowered the price of the common shares
issued under DRIP to $7.38 per share, the new NAV.
Investment Objective
Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the acquisition of real estate assets and debt and equity real estate-related investments. Our Independent
Directors (as defined in Part III, Item 10 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) review our investment policies periodically, at least annually, to confirm that our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders. Each such
determination and the basis thereof are contained in the minutes of our Board of Directors meetings.
We seek to accomplish our objective by rigorously analyzing the value of and risks associated with potential acquisitions, and, for up to 20% of our total assets, by acquiring real estate securities at
significant discounts to their net asset value.

Our Corporate Information
Our offices are currently located at 89 Davis Road, Suite 100, Orinda, CA 94563 and our telephone number is (925) 631-9100 or (800) 854-8357.
Investment Strategy
Following withdrawal of our election to be regulated as a BDC in 2020, we have and intend to continue to invest in private companies that directly or indirectly own real property, and increase our
control over our private investments, and to eventually consolidate those investments for financial reporting purposes. We conduct many of our operations through the Operating Partnership. The withdrawal of our BDC election has also
allowed us to expand our investment pool to include real, physical assets, as opposed to only investment securities. We believe that this expanded pool of potential investments allows access to risk-adjusted returns consistent with
our investment objective, while allowing us to maintain our REIT status.
We engage in various investment strategies to achieve our overall investment objectives. The strategy we select depends upon, among other things, market opportunities, the skills and experience of the
Advisers’ investment team and our overall portfolio composition. We generally seek to acquire assets that produce ongoing distributable income for investors, yet with a primary focus on purchasing such assets at a discount from what
the Advisers estimate to be the actual or potential value of the real estate.
When evaluating opportunities to buy properties, we look for opportunistic and value-add situations similar to our approach to targeting real estate securities, including unique situations and
value-added opportunities. We evaluate the broader market, the property’s position in the market, the needs our capital can address, and the track record of the sponsor or operator bringing the opportunity to us. We do not generally
engage brokers, and the majority of our properties were acquired in “off market” transactions.
We invest in mid-market properties that may be overlooked by institutions. We acquire mid-market properties that may be too small to attract
most institutions, and where we believe we can create long-term value for our stockholders utilizing the following investment strategies.
•
Value-Add . We invest in well-located properties with strong and stable cash flows in demographically attractive knowledge economic growth markets where we believe there exists significant potential for medium-term
capital appreciation through renovation or redevelopment, to reposition the asset and drive future rental growth.
•
Opportunistic . We invest in properties available at opportunistic prices (i.e., at prices we believe are below those available in an otherwise efficient market) that exhibit some characteristics of distress, such as
operational inefficiencies, significant deferred capital maintenance or broken capital structures providing an opportunity for a substantial portion of total return attributable to appreciation in value.
•
Invest-to-Own . We may invest in the development of properties in target markets where we believe we can capture significant development premiums upon completion. We generally use a mezzanine loan or convertible
preferred equity structure which provides income during the development stage and/or the ability to capture development premiums at completion by exercising our conversion rights to take ownership.
We intend to continue our historical activities related to tender offers for shares of non-traded REITs in order to boost our short-term cash flow and to support our distributions, subject to the
constraint that such securities will not exceed 20% of our portfolio. We believe this niche strategy will allow us to pay distributions that are supported by cash flow rather than paying back investors’ capital, although there can be
no assurance that some portion of any distribution is not a return of capital. This strategy can boost cash-flow in two ways: (1) most such non-traded REITs pay regular cash distributions; and (2) when such non-traded REIT shares are
liquidated or sold, we may realize a profit from having purchased the shares at a discount to the underlying net asset value.

Types of Investments
We target real estate-related investments which may include equity interests in LLCs, tenancies-in-common, mortgages, loans, bonds, other real estate-related investment entities, or direct ownership of
real property. Since the withdrawal of our BDC status, we intend to purchase primarily majority interests in properties or companies that own properties so that we can consolidate them into our financial statements. We may purchase
non-controlling interests, but we intend that such investments will constitute less than 20% of our portfolio. We do not invest in general partnerships or other entities that do not afford limited liability to their security owners.
However, limited liability entities in which we invest may hold interests in general partnerships, joint ventures, or other non-limited liability entities.
Investment Selection
Our Advisers’ investment team is responsible for all aspects of our investment process. The current members of the investment team are Glen Fuller, Chip Patterson, Robert Dixon, Angche Sherpa, and
Christine Simpson. The investment strategy involves a team approach, whereby potential transactions are screened by various members of the investment team.
Our process for acquiring targeted real estate typically involves three steps: (i) identifying assets of the type we may be interested in acquiring; (ii) evaluating the assets to estimate their value or
potential value to us, and (iii) either acquiring such assets directly or through our network of real estate partners. Different circumstances may require different procedures, or different combinations of procedures, and we adjust
our acquisition strategy to fit the circumstances. Nonetheless, the typical stages of our investment selection process are as follows:
Deal Generation/Origination
We source investments through long-standing relationships with real estate operators, developers, industry contacts, brokers, commercial and investment bankers, entrepreneurs, services providers such as
lawyers and accountants, as well as current and former clients, portfolio companies and investors. Our Advisers’ goal is to establish relationships with successful operators with proven track records in each region in which we
operate, and to grow and deepen those relationships as they prove successful.
Screening
In screening potential investments, the Advisers’ investment team utilizes a value-oriented investment philosophy and commits resources to managing downside exposure.
Due Diligence
In conducting due diligence, the Advisers use publicly available information as well as information from its relationships with former and current management teams, investors, consultants, competitors
and investment bankers.
Our Advisers’ due diligence typically includes:
•
review of operating history, appraisals, market reports, vacancies, deferred maintenance;
•
review of historical and prospective financial information and regulatory disclosures;
•
research relating to the property’s management, industry, markets, products and services and competitors;
•
verification of collateral; and
•
appraisals or opinions of value by third party advisers.
Upon the completion of due diligence and a decision to proceed with an investment, the investment professionals leading the investment present the investment opportunity to the Advisers’ investment
team, which then determines whether to pursue the potential investment. Additional due diligence with respect to any investment may be conducted on our behalf by attorneys and independent accountants prior to the closing of the
investment, as well as other outside third-party advisers, as appropriate. Any fees and expenses incurred by the Advisers to oversee due diligence investigations undertaken by third parties are subject to reimbursement by us, if not
otherwise reimbursed, which reimbursements are in addition to any management or incentive fees payable by us under the advisory agreements.

Monitoring
Our Advisers monitors our investments on an ongoing basis. Our Advisers have several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and value of the assets in which we invest, which include the
following:
•
Assessment of success in adhering to business plans and compliance with covenants;
•
Periodic and regular contact with property management, to discuss financial position, requirements and accomplishments;
•
Comparisons to other properties in the geographic area or sector, if any;
•
Attendance at and participation in our board meetings; and
•
Review of monthly and quarterly consolidated financial statements and financial projections for properties.
Valuation of Investments
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange will be valued at the closing price on the day closest to the valuation date. Where a security is traded but in limited
volume, we may instead utilize the weighted average closing price of the security over the prior 10 trading days. To value securities that do not trade on a national exchange, we may use published secondary market trading information.
Securities for which reliable market data are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the
judgment of the Investment Adviser or Board of Directors, does not accurately measure fair value, which we expect will represent a substantial portion of our portfolio, are valued as follows: (i) the securities are initially valued by
the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; and (iii) the Board of Directors reviews these preliminary
valuations and, where appropriate and necessary, valuations by third-party valuation firms, and uses such valuations, as adjusted by the Board if appropriate, to determine the fair value of the securities.
Securities for which market data are not readily available or for which a pricing source does not accurately measure value may include the following:
•
private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;
•
securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;
•
debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;
•
securities whose prices are stale;
•
securities affected by significant events; and
•
securities that the Investment Adviser believes were priced incorrectly.
Valuation of Real Property
When property is owned directly, the valuation process includes a full review of the property financial information. An Argus model is created using all known data such as current rent rolls,
escalators, expenses, market data in the area where the property is located, cap rates, discount rates, mortgages, interest rates, and other pertinent information. We estimate future leasing and costs associated, generally over a
ten-year period, to determine the fair value of the property. Once the fair value is determined, and reviewed by the Board of Directors, a determination of whether any impairment is required is made and documented. In addition, once
per year, in preparation of net asset value, we obtain a third-party appraisal on directly owned properties.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements express the uncertainty with respect to the possible effect of
such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
Staffing
We do not currently have any employees. Our day-to-day investment operations are managed by the Advisers. Our Advisers may hire additional investment professionals, based upon its needs. We also entered
into the Administration Agreement with MacKenzie, under which we reimburse MacKenzie for our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by it in performing its obligations, including rent, the fees and expenses
associated with performing compliance functions, and the compensation of our chief financial officer, our chief compliance officer (or “CCO”), and any administrative support staff. We have also retained MacKenzie as our transfer agent
and have been reimbursing MacKenzie for certain software development costs.
Compliance with governmental laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental matters
Because we operate as a REIT and own real estate properties, we are required to comply with various governmental laws and regulations, including the Exchange Act and those relating to environmental
matters.
Environmental Matters
We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, in real property assets, which are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety.
Environmental laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the
contamination were legal. This liability could be substantial. In addition, the presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate these substances, may adversely affect our ability to sell, rent or pledge such
property as collateral for future borrowings.
Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards as of future dates. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or
stricter interpretation of existing laws may require material expenditures by us. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability. Additionally, our tenant companies’ operations, the existing
condition of land when we buy it, operations in the vicinity of our properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect our properties. In addition, there are various
local, state and federal fire, health, life-safety and similar regulations with which we may be required to comply, and that may subject us to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. Any material expenditures,
fines, or damages we must pay will reduce our ability to make distributions.
Other Regulations
State and federal laws in this area are constantly evolving, and we intend to monitor these laws and take commercially reasonable steps to protect ourselves from the impact of these laws, including
where deemed necessary, obtaining environmental assessments of properties that we acquire; however, we will not obtain an independent third-party environmental assessment for every property we acquire. In addition, any such assessment
that we do obtain may not reveal all environmental liabilities or whether a prior owner of a property created a material environmental condition not known to us. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with
environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims could materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available
for distribution.
Board Approval of the Administration and Advisory Agreements
Our advisory and administrative services agreements were approved by our Board of Directors in January 2021. Such approvals were made on the basis of an evaluation satisfactory to our Board of Directors
including a consideration of, among other factors, (i) the nature, quality, and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided under the agreements, (ii) the investment performance of the personnel who manage REITs with
objectives similar to ours, to the extent available, (iii) comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar expenses paid by other REITs with similar investment objectives, to the extent available and (iv) information about
the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under each of the agreements.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock and preferred stock involves substantial risks. You should specifically consider the following material risks in addition to the other information
contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the following risks might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, which could cause the price of our common
stock and preferred stock to decline and could result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and
uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, financial condition, prospects and forward-looking statements. As used herein, the term “you” refers to our current stockholders or potential
investors in our common or preferred stock, as applicable.
RISK FACTORS SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the most significant risks relating to our business activities that we have identified. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, or results of
operation, including our ability to generate cash and make distributions, could be materially adversely affected. For a more complete understanding of our material risk factors, this summary should be read in conjunction with the
detailed discussion of our risk factors, which follows this summary.
Risks Related to Investing in Real Estate
•
Real property investments are subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause declines in our operating revenues and/or the underlying value of one or more of our properties.
•
The market for real estate investments is highly competitive and investments in real estate-related assets can be speculative.
•
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly affect our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.
•
We could be exposed to environmental liabilities, which could impact the value of real properties that we may acquire or underlying our investments.
•
We will likely receive limited representations and warranties from sellers, and may not obtain audited results of prior operations for certain properties in which we have invested in.
•
We may not obtain independent third-party appraisals or valuation reports on all of our investments.
•
We may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic conditions, particularly in the specific geographic areas where our investments are concentrated.
•
Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
•
Our success is materially dependent on attracting qualified tenants and, when vacancies occur, we may not be able to re-lease or renew leases at the investments held by us on terms favorable to us, or at all.
•
The bankruptcy, insolvency or diminished creditworthiness of our tenants under their leases or delays by our tenants in making rental payments could seriously harm our operating results and financial condition.
•
Significant restrictions on transfer and encumbrance of investments subject to mortgage or other debt financing are expected, and we may experience delays in the sale of an investment.
•
We face possible risks associated with climate change.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position
•
Future debt or capital stock issuances by the Company could dilute the ownership interest of current stockholders, and could subject us to covenants restricting our future financial and operating flexibility.
•
We do not have guaranteed cash flow, and if we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available for investments and our stockholders’ overall return will be
reduced.
•
While we are subject to minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, such distributions are not guaranteed and the availability and timing of cash distributions is uncertain.
•
We may in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you receive.
Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy
•
We may change our targeted investment and operational policies without stockholder consent.
•
Our Board of Directors can revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval.
•
Our future growth will depend on our ability to acquire real estate investments in several competitive real estate markets, and lack of diversification in numbers or types of investments increases our dependence on
individual investments.

Table of Contents
•
We may experience difficulty in ultimately selling any property or groups of properties which no longer fit our investment criteria or are impractical to lease and maintain, which could force us to sell a property at a
price that reduces the return to our investors.
•
Subject to broad investment guidelines approved by our Board of Directors, we are dependent on the investment analysis and management services provided by our Advisers and their key personnel for our success.
•
Our investments will be carried at estimated fair value as determined by our Investment Adviser and there may be uncertainty as to the value of these investments.
•
We, through our Advisers, are often required to make a number of judgments in applying accounting policies, and different estimates and assumptions in the application of these policies could result in changes to our
reporting of financial condition and results of operations.
•
The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity, could cause a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships,
all of which could negatively impact our financial results.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Corporate Structure
•
Our Charter permits our Board of Directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of common stockholders or preferred shareholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might
result in a premium price to our stockholders.
•
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to recover claims against our officers, directors and our Advisers are limited.
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
•
The Advisory Agreements with our Advisers were not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
•
We may have conflicts of interest with our Adviser and other affiliates, which may result in investment decisions that are not in the best interest of our stockholders.
•
Our Adviser, its officers and their respective affiliates will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of real estate investments, and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.
•
We have not adopted any specific conflicts of interest policies, and, therefore, other than in respect of the restrictions placed on our Advisers in the Advisory Agreements, we will be reliant upon the good faith of our
Adviser, officers and directors in the resolution of any conflict.
Risks Associated with Debt Financing
•
We expect to use mortgage and other debt financing to acquire properties or interests in properties and otherwise incur other indebtedness, which could subject us to the risk of losing properties in foreclosure if our cash
flow is insufficient to make loan payments and reduce the cash available for distribution to stockholders.
•
High levels of debt or increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our loan payments, which could reduce the cash available for distribution to stockholders.
•
High mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our cash flow from operations and the amount of cash distributions we can
make.
•
If we are required to make payments under any “bad boy” carve-out guaranties that we may provide in connection with certain mortgages and related loans, our business and financial results could be materially adversely
affected.
•
Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
•
Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, adversely affecting our cash flows and reducing the amounts available for distributions to our stockholders.
•
We may use floating rate, interest-only or short-term loans to acquire investments.
Risks Related to Our Taxation as a REIT
•
Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would result in higher taxes and reduced cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
•
Complying with minimum required distributions and other REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
•
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flows.
•
The stock ownership limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Code for REITs and in our Charter may inhibit market activity in our stock and may restrict our business combination opportunities.
9
Table of Contents
•
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends, and a failure to make required distributions would subject us to U.S. federal corporate income tax.
•
The prohibited transactions tax may subject us to tax on our gain from sales of property and limit our ability to dispose of our properties.
•
We may be unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations, operating cash flow or portfolio income to pay our operating expenses, and our operating expenses could rise, diminishing our ability and to pay distributions
to our stockholders.
•
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the market price of our shares.
Risk Related to COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases
•
COVID-19, or the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, has and could continue to materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
performance, as well as adversely affect our and our tenants’ financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Investing in Real Estate
Real estate investments are subject to risks particular to real property, including:
•
Adverse changes in national and local economic and market conditions, including the credit and securitization markets;
•
Impacts from governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances, including the impact of environmental laws and regulations, and related compliance costs, including costs to comply with future changes;
•
Takings by condemnation or eminent domain;
•
Real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of or a reduction in demand for real estate space in the area, which could adversely affect market rental rates;
•
The perceptions of tenants and prospective tenants of the convenience, attractiveness and safety of our properties;
•
Competition from comparable properties;
•
The occupancy rate of our properties;
•
The ability to collect all rent from tenants on a timely basis;
•
The effects of any bankruptcies or insolvencies of major tenants;
•
The expense of re-leasing space;
•
Changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funding;
•
Economic or physical decline of the areas where our investments are located
•
Deterioration in the physical condition of our investments and resulting maintenance expenses;
•
Acts of war or terrorism, including the consequences of terrorist attacks;
•
Acts of God, including earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters, which may result in uninsured losses; and
•
Cost of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Any of these or similar events may reduce our return from an affected property or investment and reduce or eliminate our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
The market for real estate investments is highly competitive.
Identifying attractive real estate investment opportunities is difficult and involves a high degree of uncertainty. Furthermore, the historical performance of a particular property or market is not a
guarantee or prediction of the property’s or market’s future performance. There can be no assurance that we will be able to locate suitable acquisition opportunities in our target markets, achieve our investment goal and objectives,
or fully deploy for our cash.
Because of the recent growth in demand for real estate investments, there may be increased competition among investors to invest in the same asset classes as we do. This competition may lead to an
increase in the investment prices or otherwise less favorable investment terms. If this situation occurs with a particular investment, our return on that investment is likely to be less than the return we could have achieved if we had
invested at a time of less investor competition for the investment. For this and other reasons, the Real Estate Adviser is under no restrictions concerning the timing of investments.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of assets, which may reduce economic returns to our stockholders.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of investments. The market for the sale of real estate properties can vary greatly and it may take a significant amount of time for us to sell
any particular property on favorable terms, if at all. As a result, our ability to sell under-performing assets in our portfolio or respond to changes in economic and other conditions may be relatively limited.
10
Table of Contents
Investments in real estate-related assets can be speculative.
Investments in real estate-related assets can involve speculative risks and always involve substantial risks. No assurance can be given that the Advisers will be able to execute the investment strategy
or that stockholders in the company will realize their investment objectives. No assurance can be given that our stockholders will realize a substantial return (if any) on their investment or that they will not lose their entire
investment in us.
We will likely receive limited representations and warranties from sellers.
Investments will likely be acquired with limited representations and warranties from the seller regarding the condition of the investment, the status of leases, the presence of hazardous substances, the
status of governmental approvals and entitlements and other significant matters affecting the use, ownership and enjoyment of the investment. As a result, if defects in an investment or other matters adversely affecting an investment
are discovered, we may not be able to pursue a claim for damages against the seller of the investment. The extent of damages that we may incur as a result of such matters cannot be predicted, but potentially could result in a
significant adverse effect on the value of the affected investments.
We may be subject to the risk of liability and casualty loss as the owner of an investment.
We will maintain insurance against certain liabilities and other losses for an investment, but the insurance obtained will not cover all amounts or types of loss. There is no assurance that any loss
that may occur will be insured or that, if insured, the insurance proceeds will be sufficient to cover the loss.
There are certain categories of loss that may be or may become uninsurable or not economically insurable, such as earthquakes, floods and liabilities related to hazardous waste. Further, if losses arise
from hazardous substance contamination that cannot be recovered from a responsible party, the financial viability of the affected investment may be substantially impaired. It is possible that we will acquire an investment with known
or unknown environmental problems that may adversely affect our investments.
We could be exposed to environmental liabilities with respect to investments to which we take title.
In the course of our business, and taking title to properties, we could be subject to environmental liabilities with respect to such properties. In such a circumstance, we may be held liable to a
governmental entity or to third parties for property damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs incurred by these parties in connection with environmental contamination, or we may be required to investigate or clean up
hazardous or toxic substances or chemical releases at a property. The costs associated with investigation or remediation activities could be substantial. If we become subject to significant environmental liabilities, our business,
financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Liability relating to environmental matters may impact the value of the properties that we may acquire or underlying our investments.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances released on its property. These laws
often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances. If we fail to disclose environmental issues, we could also be liable to a buyer or
lessee of a property.
There may be environmental problems associated with our properties which we were unaware of at the time of acquisition. The presence of hazardous substances may adversely affect our ability to sell
real estate, including the affected property, or to borrow additional funds using real estate as collateral. The presence of hazardous substances, if any, on our properties may cause us to incur substantial remediation costs and
potential costs of indemnification in the case of properties we sell or rent to others, thus harming our financial condition. The discovery of material environmental liabilities attached to such properties could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
11
Table of Contents
Discovery of previously undetected environmentally hazardous conditions, including mold or asbestos, may lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of
remediating the problem could adversely affect our operating results.
Under various U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation
of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. The costs of removal or remediation could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Environmental laws provide for
sanctions in the event of noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for release
of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injury or property damage associated with
exposure to released hazardous substances. The cost of defending against claims of liability, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury claims
related to any contaminated property could materially adversely affect our business, assets or results of operations and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to our security holders.
Adverse economic conditions may negatively affect our results of operations and, as a result, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or to realize
appreciation in the value of our investments.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by market and economic challenges, which may negatively affect our returns and profitability and, as a result, our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders or to realize appreciation in the value of our investments. These market and economic challenges may include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
any future downturn in the U.S. economy and the related reduction in spending, reduced home prices and high unemployment could result in tenant defaults under leases, vacancies at our office, industrial, retail or
multifamily properties, and concessions or reduced rental rates under new leases due to reduced demand;
•
the rate of household formation or population growth in our target markets or a continued or exacerbated economic slow-down experienced by the local economies where our properties are located or by the real estate industry
generally may result in changes in the supply of or demand for apartment units in our target markets; and
•
the failure of the real estate market to attract the same level of capital investment in the future that it attracts at the time of our purchases or a reduction in the number of companies seeking to acquire properties may
result in the value of our investments not appreciating or decreasing significantly below the amount we pay for these investments.
The length and severity of any economic slow-down or downturn cannot be predicted. Our operations and, as a result, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and/or our ability to realize
appreciation in the value of our properties could be materially and adversely affected to the extent that an economic slow-down or downturn is prolonged or becomes severe.
We may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic changes in the specific geographic areas where our investments are concentrated.
We expect to diversify our investments, and expect that our real estate investments will be located throughout the United States. However, our investments may nonetheless result in significant
concentration in an investment or group of investments in one or more target markets. Our largest concentration of investments are in California, Arizona, and Connecticut. Adverse conditions (including business layoffs or downsizing,
industry slowdowns, changing demographics and other factors) in the areas where our investments are located and/or concentrated, including any cities or towns within such target States, and local real estate conditions (such as
oversupply of, or reduced demand for, office, industrial, retail or multifamily properties) may have an adverse effect on the value of our investments. A material decline in the demand or the ability of tenants to pay rent, or the
general market for sales of multi-family properties in such geographic areas may result in a material decline in our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Inflation may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Increased inflation could have a more pronounced negative impact on any variable rate debt we incur in the future and on our results of operations. During times when inflation is greater than increases
in rent, the contracted rent increases called for under our leases may be unable to keep pace with the rate of inflation. Additionally, substantial inflationary pressures and increased costs may have an adverse impact on our tenants,
which may adversely affect the ability of our tenants to pay rent.
Our Hollywood Apartment building has variable interest rate debt but has an interest rate cap which has mitigated and we believe will continue to mitigate the effect of rising interest rates. We have
other loans that become floating rate loans after an initial period of years. If interest rates do not decrease before the initial period ends our interest costs on those loans will increase after the initial period.

Table of Contents
Our success is materially dependent on attracting qualified tenants.
We will not collect revenue for a property while it is vacant and we will be responsible for all utility costs and maintenance services until we are able to lease it. Our success is dependent on the
financial stability of tenants in the aggregate. If we cannot rent our properties or our tenants default on our leases or fail to comply with the terms of our leases, our operations, financial performance, and the quality and value of
our properties could be negatively impacted.
We may not be able to re-lease or renew leases at the investments held by us on terms favorable to us or at all.
We are subject to risks that upon expiration or earlier termination of the leases for our properties that such properties may not be re-leased or, if re-leased, the terms of the renewal or re-leasing
(including the costs of required renovations or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current lease terms. Any of these situations may result in extended periods where there is a significant decline in revenues or no
revenues generated by an investment. If we are unable to re-lease or renew leases for all or substantially all of our investments, or if the rental rates upon such renewal or re-leasing are significantly lower than expected, and if
our reserves for these purposes prove inadequate, or if we are required to make significant renovations or concessions to tenants as part of the renewal or re-leasing process, we will experience a reduction in net income and may be
required to reduce or eliminate distributions to our stockholders.
The bankruptcy, insolvency or diminished creditworthiness of our tenants under their leases or delays by our tenants in making rental payments could seriously harm
our operating results and financial condition.
We will lease our properties to tenants, and we receive rents from our tenants during the terms of their respective leases. A tenant’s ability to pay rent is often initially determined by the
creditworthiness of the tenant and the income of the tenant. However, if a tenant’s credit deteriorates or a tenant’s income deteriorates, the tenant may default on its obligations under its lease and the tenant may also become
bankrupt. The bankruptcy or insolvency of our tenants or other failure to pay is likely to adversely affect the income produced by our real estate investments. Any bankruptcy filings by or relating to one of our tenants could bar us
from collecting pre-bankruptcy debts from that tenant or its property, unless we receive an order permitting us to do so from the bankruptcy court. A tenant bankruptcy could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the
relevant leases, and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, we may not be able to evict the tenant solely because of such bankruptcy or failure to pay. A court, however, may
authorize a tenant to reject and terminate its lease with us. In such a case, our claim against the tenant for unpaid, future rent would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under
the lease. In addition, certain amounts paid to us within 90 days prior to the tenant’s bankruptcy filing could be required to be returned to the tenant’s bankruptcy estate. In any event, it is highly unlikely that a bankrupt or
insolvent tenant would pay in full amounts it owes us under its lease. In other circumstances, where a tenant’s financial condition has become impaired, we may agree to partially or wholly terminate the lease in advance of the
termination date in consideration for a lease termination fee that is likely less than the agreed rental amount. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages. Any unsecured
claim we hold against a bankrupt entity may be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. We may recover substantially less than the full value
of any unsecured claims, which would harm our financial condition.
We may not obtain audited results of prior operations for certain properties in which we investment.
In some cases, we will not obtain audited operating statements regarding the prior operations of an investment. In such case, we will rely on unaudited financial information provided by the sellers of
the investments. Thus, it is possible that information relied upon by us with respect to the acquisition of some of the investments may not be accurate at the time that we acquire such investment.
Significant restrictions on transfer and encumbrance of investments subject to mortgage or other debt financing are expected.
The terms of any mortgage or other debt financing applicable to an investment are expected to prohibit the transfer or further encumbrance of that investment or any interest in that investment except
with the lender’s prior consent, which consent each lender is expected to be able to withhold. The relative illiquidity of the investments may prevent or substantially impair our ability to dispose of an investment at times when it
may be otherwise advantageous for us to do so. If we were forced to immediately liquidate some or all of our investments, the proceeds are likely to result in a significant loss, if such a liquidation is possible at all.
13
Table of Contents
We may not obtain independent third-party appraisals or valuation reports on all of our investments.
We typically may not obtain independent third-party appraisals or valuations, or other reports concerning an investment, before we invest in such investment. If we do not obtain such third-party
appraisals or valuations, there can be no assurance that an investment’s value will exceed its cost or that any sale or other disposition of such investment will result in a profit. Third-party appraisals and other reports may be
prepared for lenders, in which case we typically will try to obtain a copy of such appraisals and reports for review, as well as reliance letters from the third-party preparers to allow us to rely on appraisals and reports. To the
extent we do not obtain such other reports or reliance letters before making an investment, the risk of such investment may be increased.
We may experience delays in the sale of an investment.
Should we need to dispose of an investment, it may not be possible to sell any or all of our investments at a favorable price, or at all, in the desired time frame. If we are unable to sell
our investments in the time frames or for the prices anticipated, our ability to make distributions to you may be materially delayed or reduced, you may not be able to get a return of capital as expected or you may not have any
liquidity with respect to your investment in our securities.
We face possible risks associated with climate change.
We may become subject to laws or regulations related to climate change, which could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to be impacted adversely. Both the federal
government and many of the states and localities in which we operate have enacted, and may continue to enact, certain climate change laws and regulations or have begun regulating carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions.
Although these laws and regulations have not had any known material adverse effects on our business to date, they could result in substantial costs, including compliance costs, increased energy costs, retrofit costs and construction
costs, including monitoring and reporting costs, and capital expenditures for environmental control facilities and other new equipment.. We cannot predict how future laws and regulations, or future interpretations of current laws and
regulations, related to climate change will affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, the potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain, and would be
particular to the geographic circumstances in areas in which we operate. These may include changes to global weather patterns, which could include local changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing
sea levels and changing temperature averages or extremes. These impacts may adversely affect our properties, our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, there has been increasing public focus by investors, environmental activists, the media and governmental and nongovernmental organizations on a variety of environmental, social and other
sustainability matters. We may make commitments relating to sustainability matters that affect us, including the design and implementation of specific risk mitigation strategic initiatives relating to sustainability. If we are not
effective in addressing environmental, social and other sustainability matters affecting our business, or setting and meeting relevant sustainability goals, our reputation may suffer.
Risks Related to Our Financial Position
We are subject to risks associated with debt and capital stock issuances, and such issuances may have consequences to holders of shares of our securities.
Whenever we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, we could dilute the interests of holders of shares of our current outstanding securities.
Further, we may incur indebtedness in the future to finance our operations. Such indebtedness could result in important consequences to holders of our common and preferred shares, including subjecting
us to covenants restricting our operating flexibility, increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital
expenditures and other general corporate requirements, requiring the use of a portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to
fund working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to our stockholders and general corporate requirements, and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
If we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operations, we will have fewer funds available for investments and stockholders’ overall return
will be reduced.
Although our distribution policy is to use our cash flow from operations to make distributions, we are permitted to pay distributions from any source, including offering proceeds, borrowings, or sales
of assets. We have not placed a cap on the use of proceeds to fund distributions.
14
Table of Contents
We do not have guaranteed cash flow.
There can be no assurance that cash flow or profits will be generated by our investments. If the investments do not generate the anticipated amount of cash flow, we may not be able to pay the
anticipated distributions to our stockholders without making such distributions from the net proceeds of any offerings of capital stock or from reserves.
While we are subject to minimum distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, such distributions are not guaranteed and the availability and timing
of cash distributions is uncertain.
Our ability to pay dividends is dependent on our ability to purchase, develop, or operate our assets profitably, and there are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash
distributions to stockholders. Because we may receive rents and income from our properties and liquidations of or distributions from our securities at various times during our fiscal year, distributions paid may not reflect our
income earned in that particular distribution period. The amount of cash available for distribution will be affected by many factors, including without limitation, the amount of income we will earn from investments in target assets,
the amount of our operating expenses and many other variables. Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from our expectations.
While we intend to fund the payment of quarterly distributions to holders of our common and preferred shares entirely from distributable cash flows, we may fund quarterly distributions to our
stockholders from a combination of available net cash flows, equity capital and proceeds from borrowings. In the event we are unable to consistently fund future quarterly distributions to stockholders entirely from distributable
cash flows, the value of our common and preferred shares may be negatively impacted.
We are generally required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each
year to qualify as a REIT under the Code, which we intend to satisfy through quarterly cash distributions of all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income in such year, subject to certain adjustments. Our Board of Directors will
determine the amount and timing of any distributions. In making such determinations, our directors will consider all relevant factors, including the amount of cash available for distribution, capital expenditures, general operational
requirements and applicable law. We intend over time to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our preferred shares. However, we bear all expenses incurred by our operations, and the funds generated by operations, after
deducting these expenses, may not be sufficient to cover desired levels of distributions to stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors, in its discretion, may retain any portion of such cash in excess of our REIT taxable income
for working capital. We cannot predict the amount of distributions we may make over time.
We may in the future choose to pay dividends in our own stock, in which case you may be required to pay income taxes in excess of the cash dividends you receive.
We may in the future distribute taxable dividends that are payable in cash and our preferred shares at the election of each stockholder. Taxable stockholders receiving such dividends will be required to
include the full amount of the dividend as ordinary income to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. stockholder may be required to pay income
taxes with respect to such dividends in excess of the cash dividends received.
If a U.S. stockholder sells the stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend. Further, there
is likely to be no active trading market for our stock, and the shareholder will have find a buyer and negotiate with the found buyer as to the purchase price of the stock. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. stockholders, we may
be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in stock.
In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders determine to sell our preferred shares in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of our preferred shares.
Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Strategy
We may change our targeted investment and operational policies without stockholder consent.
We may change our investment and operational policies, including our policies with respect to investments (including changes to our Advisers’ targeted assets and asset allocation), acquisitions, growth,
operations, indebtedness, capitalization and distributions, at any time without the consent of our stockholders, which could result in our making investments that are different from, and possibly riskier than, the types of investments
described in this filing. Any such changes may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and real estate market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect our ability to make distributions. Furthermore, a change
in our asset allocation could result in our making investments in asset categories different from those described in this Annual Report.

Table of Contents
The ability of our Board of Directors to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our stockholders.
Our Charter provides that our Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest
to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders,
which may have adverse consequences on our total return to our stockholders.
Our future growth will depend upon our ability to acquire real estate investments in several competitive real estate markets.
Our future growth will depend, in large part, upon our initial and continued ability to acquire properties. We face significant competition with respect to our acquisition and origination of assets
from many other companies, including other REITs, insurance companies, private investment funds, hedge funds, specialty finance companies and other investors.
Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances or different risk
assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more relationships than us. Some of our competitors also may have greater financial and operational resources, larger customer bases, and
more established relationships with their customers and suppliers than we do. The competitive pressures we face, if not effectively managed, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity and
results of operations.
Competition may limit the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to us and may result in higher prices, lower yields and a narrower spread of yields over our borrowing costs, making it
more difficult for us to identify and pursue opportunities consistent with our objectives and to acquire new investments on attractive terms. This could delay our investment in desirable assets. Any failure to identify or consummate
investments on satisfactory terms, or at all, may impede our growth, reduce our earnings per share and negatively affect our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.
Due diligence by our Advisers may not reveal all of the liabilities associated with the investments being evaluated and may not reveal other weaknesses in such investments, which could
lead to investment losses.
Because we intend to purchase real estate at below-market-prices, there may not be enough time to investigate the condition of any particular investment.
Before making an investment, our Advisers will assess the strengths and weaknesses of a target investment property. The Advisers will also consider other factors and characteristics that are material to
the performance of the investment. Such other factors may include the pricing trends for similar properties in the area where the target investment property is located. In making such assessments and otherwise conducting customary due
diligence, our Advisers relies on resources available to them and, in some cases, an investigation by third parties. There can be no assurance that our Advisers’ due diligence process will uncover all relevant facts or that any
investment will be successful.
We may experience difficulty in ultimately selling any property or groups of properties which no longer fit our investment criteria or are
impractical to lease and maintain, which could force us to sell a property at a price that reduces the return to our investors.
The real estate market is affected by many factors that are out of our control, including the availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, as well as supply and demand for real estate
investments. As a result, we cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property or groups of properties which no longer fit our investment criteria or are impractical to lease and maintain on favorable terms, or whether
such sale could be made at a favorable price or on terms acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time which will be needed to obtain a purchaser or to complete the sale of any property.
In addition, the terms of our leases and the laws regulating REITs could impact our ability to sell any property or groups of properties. To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must
continually satisfy various tests, including tests regarding the nature of our assets which could restrict our disposition strategy.

Lack of diversification in numbers or types of investments increases our dependence on individual investments.
Our investment strategy depends in large part on acquiring a diversified portfolio based on the number of properties or investments we acquire relative to our total assets. Such diversification reduces
the risk that a default or other problem with any single property or investment will have a material negative impact on our earnings.
Currently, our investments are concentrated in five commercial real estate properties and four multi-family residential apartment properties, located primarily in the Oakland-San Francisco Bay area in
California. If, due to factors such as lack of adequate capital, or the unavailability of suitable investment opportunities, we acquire relatively few properties or acquire properties or investments that are significant (in terms of
capital invested) to our overall asset size, we may be unable to reduce the degree of concentration of our portfolio, which could increase the risk of loss to stockholders if a default or other problem arises.
Additionally, property sales may reduce the aggregate amount of our property investment portfolio in value or number. As a result, our portfolio could become more concentrated, thereby further reducing
the benefits of diversification by factors such as geography, property type, tenancy, or other measures. While we intend to endeavor to grow and diversify our portfolio through additional property acquisitions, we may never reach a
significant size to achieve true portfolio diversity.
Our success is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants.
The success of our business is dependent on the financial stability of the tenants occupying our properties. A default of a tenant on its lease payments may cause us to lose some of the anticipated
revenue from an investment property.
Since our portfolio is relatively small, our exposure to each tenant may be more significant than we expect. We believe that this exposure will diminish (but not entirely) as we acquire more
properties. In the event of a material default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlords and we may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment and possibly re-letting the property, as the case may be.
If a lease is terminated, we cannot assure our investors that the property could be leased for the same amount of rent previously received or that we could sell the property without incurring a loss.
We are dependent on our Advisers and their key personnel for our success.
We are, and will continue to be, advised by our Advisers and, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Advisers is not obligated to dedicate any specific personnel exclusively to us, nor is its
personnel obligated to dedicate any specific portion of their time to the management of our business.
As a result, we cannot provide any assurances regarding the amount of time our Advisers will dedicate to the management of our business. Moreover, each of our officers and non-independent directors is
also an employee of our Advisers or one of its affiliates, and has significant responsibilities for other investment vehicles currently managed by affiliates, and may not always be able to devote sufficient time to the management of
our business. Consequently, we may not receive the level of support and assistance that we otherwise might receive if we were internally managed.
In addition, we offer no assurance that our Advisers will remain our Advisers or that we will continue to have access to our Advisers’ principals and professionals. The initial term of our Agreements
with our Advisers only extends until December 31, 2022, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter, and may be terminated earlier under certain circumstances. If the Agreement is terminated or not renewed and no suitable replacement
is found to manage us, we may not be able to execute our business plan, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Our Board of Directors has approved very broad investment guidelines for our Advisers and will not approve each investment and financing decision made by our
Advisers unless required by our investment guidelines.
Our Advisers are authorized to follow very broad investment guidelines established by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors will periodically review our investment guidelines and our portfolio
of assets but will not, and will not be required to, review all of our proposed investments, except in limited circumstances as set forth in our investment policies.
Our Advisers have great latitude within the broad parameters of our investment guidelines in determining the types and amounts of assets in which to invest on our behalf, including making investments
that may result in returns that are substantially below expectations or result in losses, which would materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, or may otherwise not be in the best interests of our
stockholders. Transactions entered into by our Advisers may be costly, difficult or impossible to unwind by the time they are reviewed by our Board of Directors.

Because stockholders will be unable to evaluate the merits of these operational and investment guidelines, they will have to rely entirely on the ability of our Advisers and Board of Directors to
formulate and follow these operational and investment guidelines.
Because we are dependent upon our Advisers and its affiliates to conduct our operations, any adverse changes in the financial or operational condition of our
Advisers or its affiliates, or our relationship with them, could hinder our operating performance and the return on your investment.
We are dependent on our Advisers and their affiliates to manage our operations and acquire and manage our portfolio of real estate assets. Under the direction of our Board of Directors, and subject to
our investment guidelines, our Advisers makes all decisions with respect to the management of our company. Our Advisers depend upon the fees and other compensation they receive from us, and upon their ability to attract and retain
skilled personnel, in carrying out these functions. Any adverse changes in the financial or operational condition of our Advisers and their affiliates, or in our relationship with our Advisers, could hinder its ability to successfully
manage our operations and our portfolio of investments, which would adversely affect us and our stockholders.
Our investments will be carried at estimated fair value as determined by our Investment Adviser and there may be uncertainty as to the value of these investments.
Substantially all of our investments are illiquid, and the securities in which we invest are not publicly traded. To determine our net asset value, our Investment Adviser estimates the fair value of our
assets in conjunction with our external valuation experts.
Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, our value may fluctuate over short periods of time, and may be based on numerous estimates and assumptions, our determinations of fair value of our
investments are inherently speculative and subject to errors. The value of our shares could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of these investments are materially higher than the values that we
ultimately realize upon their disposal.
We, through our Advisers, are often required to make a number of judgments in applying accounting policies, and different estimates and assumptions in the
application of these policies could result in changes to our reporting of financial condition and results of operations.
Various valuation estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including estimates related to asset and liability valuations (or potential impairments) and various
receivables. Often these estimates require the use of market data values that may be difficult to assess, as well as estimates of future performance or receivables collectability that may be difficult to accurately predict. While we
have identified those accounting policies that are considered critical and have procedures in place to facilitate the associated judgments, different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes to
our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity, could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a
compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships, all of which could negatively impact our financial results.
A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information resources. More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional
attack or an unintentional event that can include gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information. As reliance on technology by the Company, as well as the Advisers and
tenants, has increased, so have the risks posed to our systems, both internal and those we have outsourced. Our three primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption,
damage to our relationship with our tenants, and private data exposure. We have implemented processes, procedures and controls to help mitigate these risks, but these measures, as well as our increased awareness of a risk of a cyber
incident, do not guarantee that our financial results will not be negatively impacted by such an incident.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Corporate Structure
Our Charter permits our Board of Directors to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of common stockholders or preferred shareholders or discourage
a third party from acquiring us in a manner that might result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our Charter permits our Board of Directors to issue up to 80,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 preferred shares. Our Board of Directors is permitted, subject to certain restrictions set
forth in our Charter, to authorize the issuance of shares of common stock and preferred stock without stockholder approval. Further, our Board of Directors may classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock
into other classes or series of stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption
of the stock and may amend our Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series that we have authority to issue without stockholder approval. Thus, our
Board of Directors could authorize us to issue shares of preferred stock ranking senior to our common stock with respect to distribution rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or with terms and conditions that could
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, that might provide a premium
price for holders of our common stock.
Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to recover claims against our officers, directors and our Advisers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporation’s best
interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our Charter, in the case of our directors, officers, employees and agents, and the advisory agreements, in the
case of the Advisers, require us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents and the Advisers and its affiliates for actions taken by them in good faith and without negligence or misconduct.
Additionally, our Charter limits the liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted under Maryland law. Although our Charter does not allow us to exonerate
and indemnify our directors and officers to a greater extent than permitted under Maryland law, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, and our Advisers and its
affiliates, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our investor’s and our recovery against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and
agents or the Advisers in some cases which would reduce the cash available for distributions.
Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest
The Advisory Agreements with our Advisers were not negotiated on an arm’s-length basis and may not be as favorable to us as if they had been negotiated with an
unaffiliated third party.
Our executive officers, including one of our directors, are executives of our Advisers. Our Advisory Agreements were negotiated between related parties and their terms, including fees payable to our
Advisers, may not be as favorable to us as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. In addition, we may choose not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the Advisory Agreements because of our
desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with the Advisers and its affiliates.
We may have conflicts of interest with our Advisers and other affiliates, which could result in investment decisions that are not in the best interests of our
stockholders.
There are numerous conflicts of interest between our interests and the interests of our Advisers and its respective affiliates, including conflicts arising out of allocation of personnel to our
activities, allocation of investment opportunities between us and investment vehicles affiliated with our Advisers, purchase or sale of properties, including from or to investment entities affiliated with our Advisers, and fee
arrangements with our Advisers that might induce our Advisers to make investment decisions that are not in our best interests. Examples of these potential conflicts of interest include, but are not
limited to:
•
Competition for the time and services of personnel that work for us and our affiliates;
•
Compensation payable by us to our Advisers and their affiliates for their various services, which may not be on market terms and is payable, in some cases, whether or not our stockholders receive distributions;
•
The possibility that our Advisers, their officers and their respective affiliates will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of properties and other investments, and that such conflicts may not be
resolved in our favor, thus potentially limiting our investment opportunities, impairing our ability to make distributions and adversely affecting the trading price of our stock;
19
Table of Contents
•
The possibility that if we acquire properties from investment entities affiliated with our Advisers or their affiliates, the price may be higher than we would pay if the transaction were the result of arm’s-length
negotiations with a third party;
•
The possibility that our Advisers will face conflicts of interest, since some of their officers are also our officers and two serve as directors of ours, resulting in actions that may not be in the long-term best interests
of our stockholders;
•
Our Advisers have considerable discretion with respect to the terms and timing of our acquisition, disposition and leasing transactions;
•
The possibility that we may acquire or merge with our Advisers, resulting in an internalization of our management functions; and
•
The possibility that the competing demands for the time of our Advisers, their affiliates and our officers may result in them spending insufficient time on our business, which may result in our missing investment
opportunities or having less efficient operations, which could reduce our profitability and result in lower distributions to stockholders.
Any of these and other conflicts of interest between us and our Advisers could have a material adverse effect on the returns on our investments, our ability to make distributions to stockholders and the
trading price of our stock.
Our Advisers, their officers and their respective affiliates will face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase and leasing of real estate investments, and
such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor.
Conflicts created by our Advisers’ relationships with us and with other investment entities affiliated with our Advisers or their affiliates, as described above, may severely curtail our investment
opportunities, impair our ability to make distributions and reduce the value of stockholders’ investment in us. Our Advisers also advises other clients and such clients may compete with us for investments. Our Advisers have policies
in place to deal with such potential conflicts, but such policies may result in other clients buying assets that may be in our best interest to purchase.
Our Advisers, and the personnel they provide are not exclusively dedicated to management of our business.
If the competing demands for the time of our Advisers, its key personnel, its affiliates and our officers result in them spending insufficient time on our business, we may miss investment opportunities
or have less efficient operations, which could reduce our profitability and result in lower distributions to stockholders.
We have not adopted any specific conflicts of interest policies, and, therefore, other than in respect of the restrictions placed on our Advisers in the Advisory
Agreements, we will be reliant upon the good faith of our Advisers, officers and directors in the resolution of any conflict.
We do not have a policy that expressly restricts any of our directors, officers, stockholders or affiliates, including our Advisers and their officers and employees, from having a pecuniary interest in
an investment in or from conducting, for their own account, business activities of the type we conduct. This may mean that our ability to access the best investments may be curtailed, which could result in greater than expected
operating expense, losses and reduced distributions to our shareholders.
Risks Associated with Debt Financing
We expect to use mortgage and other debt financing to acquire properties or interests in properties and otherwise incur other indebtedness, which increases our
expenses and could subject us to the risk of losing properties in foreclosure if our cash flow is insufficient to make loan payments.
We are permitted to acquire real properties and other real estate-related investments, including entity acquisitions, by either assuming existing financing secured by the asset or borrowing new funds.
In addition, we may incur or increase our mortgage debt by obtaining loans secured by some or all of our assets to obtain funds to acquire additional investments or to pay distributions to our stockholders. We also may borrow funds if
necessary to satisfy the requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual “REIT taxable income” (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain), or otherwise as is necessary or
advisable to assure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
There is no limit on the amount we may invest in any single property or other asset or on the amount we can borrow to purchase any individual property or other investment. If we mortgage a property and
have insufficient cash flow to service the debt, we risk an event of default which may result in our lenders foreclosing on the properties securing the mortgage and the loss of our interests in such properties if we are unable to
repay or refinance.
20
Table of Contents
High levels of debt or increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our loan payments, which could reduce the cash available for distribution to
stockholders.
Our policies do not limit us from incurring debt. For purposes of calculating our leverage, we assume full consolidation of all of our real estate investments, whether or not they would be
consolidated under GAAP.
High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, resulting in higher debt service payments, and may be accompanied by restrictive covenants. Interest we pay reduces cash available for
distribution to stockholders. Additionally, with respect to our variable rate debt, increases in interest rates increase our interest costs, which reduces our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to you. In addition, if
we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments and could
result in a loss. In addition, if we are unable to service our debt, our lenders may foreclose on our interests in the real property that secures such debt.
High mortgage rates may make it difficult for us to finance or refinance properties, which could reduce the number of properties we can acquire, our cash flow from
operations and the amount of cash distributions we can make.
To qualify as a REIT, we generally will be required to distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain)
to our stockholders in each taxable year, limiting our ability to retain internally generated cash. Accordingly, our ability to acquire properties or to make capital improvements to or remodel properties will depend on our ability to
obtain debt or equity financing from third parties or the sellers of properties. If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on properties,
we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the debt becomes due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance the properties, our income could be reduced. The
interest rate may increase on some of our fixed-rate debt after the initial fixed rate period. If any of these events occurs, our cash flow would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to stockholders
and may hinder our ability to raise additional capital.
Our ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms would be impacted by negative capital market conditions.
Recently, domestic and international financial markets have experienced unusual volatility and uncertainty. Liquidity has tightened in overall financial markets, including the investment grade debt and
equity capital markets. Consequently, there is greater uncertainty regarding our ability to access the credit market in order to attract financing on reasonable terms. Investment returns on our assets and our ability to make
acquisitions could be adversely affected by our inability to secure financing on reasonable terms, if at all.
If we are required to make payments under any “bad boy” carve-out guaranties that we may provide in connection with certain mortgages and related loans, our
business and financial results could be materially adversely affected.
In obtaining certain nonrecourse loans, we may provide standard carve-out guaranties. These guaranties are only applicable if and when the borrower directly, or indirectly through agreement with an
affiliate, joint venture partner or other third party, voluntarily files a bankruptcy or similar liquidation or reorganization action or takes other actions that are fraudulent or improper (commonly referred to as “bad boy”
guaranties). Although we believe that “bad boy” carve-out guaranties are not guaranties of payment in the event of foreclosure or other actions of the foreclosing lender that are beyond the borrower’s control, some lenders in the real
estate industry have recently sought to make claims for payment under such guaranties. In the event such a claim were made against us under a “bad boy” carve-out guaranty following foreclosure on mortgages or related loan, and such
claim were successful, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected.
Interest-only indebtedness may increase our risk of default and ultimately may reduce our funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
We may finance our property acquisitions using interest-only mortgage indebtedness. During the interest-only period, the amount of each scheduled payment will be less than that of a traditional
amortizing mortgage loan. The principal balance of the mortgage loan will not be reduced (except in the case of prepayments) because there are no scheduled monthly payments of principal during this period. After the interest-only
period, we will be required either to make scheduled payments of amortized principal and interest or to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. These required principal or balloon payments will increase the amount of our
scheduled payments and may increase our risk of default under the related mortgage loan. If the mortgage loan has an adjustable interest rate, the amount of our scheduled payments also may increase at a time of rising interest rates.
Increased payments and substantial principal or balloon maturity payments would reduce the funds available for distribution to our stockholders.
21
Table of Contents
We may use floating rate, interest-only or short-term loans to acquire investments.
The Real Estate Adviser has the right, in its sole discretion, to negotiate any debt financing, including obtaining (i) interest-only, (ii) floating rate and/or (iii) short-term loans to acquire
Investments. If the Real Estate Adviser obtains floating rate loans, the interest rate would not be fixed but would float with an established index (probably at higher interest rates in the future). No principal would be repaid on
interest-only loans. Finally, we would be required to refinance short term loans at the end of a relatively short period. The credit markets have recently been in flux and are experiencing a malaise. No assurance can be given that
the Real Estate Adviser would be able to refinance with fixed-rate permanent loans in the future, on favorable terms or at all, to refinance the short-term loans. In addition, no assurance can be given that the terms of such future
loans to refinance the short-term loans would be favorable to us.
Risks Related to Our Taxation as a REIT
Our failure to qualify as a REIT would result in higher taxes and reduced cash available for stockholders.
We intend to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our initial and continued qualification as a REIT depends on our satisfaction of certain
asset, income, organizational, distribution, and stockholder ownership requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy some of the asset tests depends upon the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not able to
be precisely determined and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals.
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and certain statutory relief provisions were not available, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable
alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and distributions to stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and
would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution.
Unless entitled to relief under certain Internal Revenue Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to
qualify as a REIT. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business
and raise capital, and it would adversely affect the value of our securities.
Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for distributions to
our stockholders.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the federal income tax laws commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. We believe that we have and will continue to operate in a manner
qualifying us as a REIT for our taxable year ended December 31, 2023 and intend to continue to so operate.
However, we cannot assure the stockholders that we will remain qualified as a REIT. Moreover, our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through
actual annual operating results, certain qualification tests set forth in the federal tax laws. Tax counsel will not review our compliance with those tests on a continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that our actual
results of operations for any particular taxable year will satisfy such requirements.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will face serious tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for distributions to our stockholders because:
•
we would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which under current law, among other things, means being unable to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income and being subject to U.S.
federal income tax on our taxable income at corporate income tax rates;
•
we could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes;
•
we would be required to pay taxes and, therefore, our cash available for distribution to stockholders would be reduced for each of the years during which we did not qualify as a REIT and for which we had taxable income; and
•
unless we are entitled to relief under certain U.S. federal income tax laws, we could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year after the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT.
In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will no longer be required to make distributions. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand
our business and raise capital, and it would adversely affect the value of our securities.
22
Table of Contents
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our liquidity.
In order to maintain our REIT status and to meet the REIT distribution requirements, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis or sell assets, even if the then-prevailing market conditions are
not favorable for these borrowings or sales. To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid
and excluding any net capital gain.
In addition, we will be subject to corporate income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income including any realized net
capital gain. We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for REITs and to minimize or eliminate our corporate income tax obligation to the extent consistent with
our business objectives.
Our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to fund required distributions as a result of differences in timing between the actual receipt of income and the recognition of income for federal
income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt service or amortization payments. The insufficiency of our cash flows to cover our distribution requirements could
have an adverse impact on our ability to raise short- and long-term debt or sell equity securities in order to fund distributions required to maintain our REIT status. We will be subject to regular corporate income taxes on any
undistributed REIT taxable income each year. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our
ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.
Further, amounts distributed will not be available to fund investment activities. We expect to fund our investments by raising equity capital and through borrowings from financial institutions and the
debt capital markets. If we fail to obtain debt or equity capital in the future, it could limit our ability to grow, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of our preferred shares.
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of
our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our capital stock. In order to meet these tests, we may be required to forego investments we might otherwise make. Thus, compliance with the REIT
requirements may hinder our performance.
In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The
remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or
more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer, among other limitations.
In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities, qualified real estate assets and taxable REIT subsidiaries) can consist of the securities of any
one issuer, and no more than 20% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we generally must
correct the failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required
to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.
The tax status of the Operating Partnership and other partnerships could impact our qualification as a REIT.
If the IRS were to successfully challenge the status of the Operating Partnership or any other partnership in which we invest as a
partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such partnerships could be subject to an entity level tax and could, depending on the circumstances, jeopardize our ability to qualify as a REIT.
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flows.
Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some
activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes.
23
Table of Contents
The stock ownership limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Code for REITs and in our Charter may inhibit market activity in our stock and may restrict our business
combination opportunities.
In order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) at any time during the last half of each taxable year. Additionally, at least 100 persons must beneficially own our capital stock during at least 335
days of each taxable year. Our Charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT.
Unless exempted by the Board of Directors, no person may own more than 9.8% of the aggregate value of the outstanding shares of our stock or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is
more restrictive, of the aggregate outstanding common or preferred shares of the Company. The Board of Directors may not grant such an exemption to any proposed transferee whose ownership in excess of 9.8% of the value of our
outstanding shares or more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, would result in the termination of our status as a REIT. These ownership limits could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in
our control that might be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
The maximum tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” payable to U.S. stockholders that are taxed at individual rates is 20%. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible
for the reduced rates on qualified dividend income. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are taxed at individual rates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively
less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including our preferred shares.
However, under current law, continuing through 2025. individual taxpayers may be entitled to claim a deduction in determining their taxable income of 20% of ordinary REIT dividends (dividends other than
capital gain dividends and dividends attributable to certain qualified dividend income received by us), which temporarily reduces the effective tax rate on such dividends. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor regarding the
effect of this change on your effective tax rate with respect to REIT dividends.
The prohibited transactions tax may subject us to tax on our gain from sales of property and limit our ability to dispose of our properties.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property other than foreclosure property, held primarily
for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.
Although we intend to acquire and hold all of our assets as investments and not for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, the IRS may assert that we are subject to the prohibited
transaction tax equal to 100% of net gain upon a disposition of real property.
Although a safe harbor to the characterization of the sale of real property by a REIT as a prohibited transaction is available, not all of our prior property dispositions qualified for the safe harbor
and we cannot assure the stockholders that we can comply with the safe harbor in the future or that we have avoided, or will avoid, owning property that may be characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary
course of business.
Failure to make required distributions would subject us to U.S. federal corporate income tax.
We intend to continue to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In order to remain qualified as a REIT, we generally are required to distribute at least 90%
of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each year to our stockholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less
than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay to
our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Code.

We may be unable to generate sufficient revenue from operations, operating cash flow or portfolio income to pay our operating expenses, and our operating expenses
could rise, diminishing our ability and to pay distributions to our stockholders.
As a REIT, we are generally required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain, each year to our
stockholders. To qualify for the tax benefits accorded to REITs, we intend to continue to make distributions to our stockholders in amounts such that we distribute all or substantially all our REIT taxable income each year, subject to
certain adjustments.
However, our ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by the risk factors described herein. Our ability to make and sustain cash distributions is based on many factors, including the
return on our investments, the size of our investment portfolio, operating expense levels, and certain restrictions imposed by Maryland law.
Some of the factors are beyond our control and a change in any such factor could affect our ability to pay future distributions. No assurance can be given as to our ability to pay distributions to our
stockholders. In the event of a downturn in our operating results and financial performance or unanticipated declines in the value of our asset portfolio, we may be unable to declare or pay annual distributions or make distributions
to our stockholders. The timing and amount of distributions are in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, which considers, among other factors, our earnings, financial condition, debt service obligations and applicable debt
covenants, REIT qualification requirements and other tax considerations and capital expenditure requirements as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could reduce the market price of our shares.
At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new U.S. federal income tax law,
regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation,
or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in the U.S. federal income tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations.
On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), The IRA includes numerous tax provisions that impact corporations, including the implementation of
a corporate alternative minimum tax as well as a 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases and economically similar transactions. However. REITs are excluded from the definition of an “applicable corporation” and therefore are not
subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax. Additionally, stock repurchases by REITs are specifically excepted from the 1% excise tax. The impact of tax reform and any potential tax changes on our shares is uncertain.
Investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding changes in tax laws.
Risk Related to COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases
COVID-19, or the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, has and could continue to materially and adversely impact or disrupt our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, as well as adversely affect our and our tenants’ financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating results depend, in large part, on generating revenues from leases to residential or commercial tenants, which in turn requires tenants to generate sufficient income to pay their rents in a
timely manner. The market and economic challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, and measures implemented to prevent its spread, may adversely affect our operations and, as a result, our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders or to realize appreciation in the value of our investments. Any future local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, including COVID-19 and its variants, MERS, SARS, H1N1 influenza virus,
avian flu or any other similar illness, could result in further increases in unemployment, decrease the willingness of customers to patronize our tenants’ retail facilities, discourage residents from renting in our multi-family
communities, cause shortages of employees to staff our tenants’ operations, interrupt supplies from third parties upon which our tenants rely, cause us or our tenants to temporarily close one or more of our properties, result in
governmental regulation adversely impacting our or our tenants’ businesses and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, especially where a tenant may be unwilling or
unable to pay rent in full on a timely basis. In some cases, the companies in which we have invested may have to restructure tenants’ rent obligations, and they may not be able to do so on terms as favorable to us as those currently
in place. Numerous state, local, federal, and industry-initiated efforts may also affect property owners’ ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. This may lead to reduction or cancellation of
distributions, which will in turn effect our ability to pay our expenses and to pay distributions to our shareholders.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our securities are currently not listed on any exchange, and we do not intend to list our securities on any securities exchange until at least 2024. Therefore, we do not expect a public market for them
to develop in the foreseeable future. Therefore, a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder, if at all.
Our public offering to sell our shares of common stock terminated in October 2020.
Holders
As of September 28, 2023, we had 13,305,608.63 shares of our common stock and 727,506.11 shares of our Series A preferred stock outstanding, held by a total of 3,137 common stockholders and 373 Series A
preferred stockholders, respectively.
Distributions to Stockholders
We pay quarterly distributions to stockholders to the extent that we have income from operations available. Our quarterly distributions, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors after a
review and distributed pro-rata to holders of our shares; we declare distributions on a monthly basis, but pay each quarter. Any distributions to our stockholders will be declared out of assets legally available for distribution. In
no event are we permitted to borrow money to make distributions if the amount of such distribution would exceed our annual accrued and received revenues, less operating costs. Distributions in kind are not permitted, except as
provided in our Charter.
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code. As a REIT, we are not subject to federal income taxes on amounts that we distribute to the stockholders, provided that, on an annual basis, we
generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain) to the stockholders and meet certain other conditions. To the extent that we
satisfy the annual distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to
a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
We have a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of our dividends and other distributions on behalf of stockholders for any individual stockholder who elects to participate
in the DRIP, provided that the DRIP is permitted by the state in which the stockholders reside. We can offer no assurance that we will achieve results that will permit the payment of any cash distributions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements by MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc., together with its subsidiaries as discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements included in this report (collectively, the “Company,”
“we,” or “us”) contained herein, other than historical facts, may constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements may relate to, among other things, future events or our future performance or financial condition. In some
cases, stockholders can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “might,” “believe,” “will,” “provided,” “anticipate,” “future,” “could,” “growth,” “plan,“ “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “if,” “seek,”
“possible,” “potential,” “likely” or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any anticipated results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These include, without limitation,
the risk that an economic downturn could impair our portfolio companies’ ability to continue to operate, which could lead to the loss of some or all of our investments in such portfolio companies; the risk that a contraction of
available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our lending and investment activities; and the risk that interest rate volatility could adversely affect our results, particularly if we elect to use
leverage as a part of our investment strategy.
Further, we may experience fluctuations in our operating results due to a number of factors, including the effect of the withdrawal of our BDC election, the return on our equity
investments, the interest rates payable on our debt investments, the default rates on such investments, the level of our expenses, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree
to which we encounter competition in our markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any period should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future periods.
For a discussion of additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from forward-looking statements contained herein, please see the discussion under the heading
“Risk Factors” above in Item 1A of this report.
Overview
Historically, we were an externally managed non-diversified closed-end management investment company that elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, but we withdrew our election to be treated as
a BDC on December 31, 2020. Our objective remains to generate both current income and capital appreciation through real estate-related investments. We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Code and as a REIT, we are not
subject to federal income taxes on amounts that we distribute to the stockholders, provided that, on an annual basis, we generally distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid
deduction and excluding any net capital gain) to the stockholders and meet certain other conditions. To the extent that we satisfy the annual distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will
be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we pay to our stockholders in a calendar year is less
than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws. Our wholly owned subsidiary, MacKenzie NY Real Estate 2 Corp. (“MacKenzie NY 2”), Inc. is subject to corporate federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular
statutory rates.
We are managed by the Advisers, and MacKenzie provides the non-investment management services and administrative services necessary for us to operate.
Investment Plan
We generally seek to invest in real estate assets. We intend to invest at least 80% of our total assets in equity or debt in real estate assets. We can invest up to 20% of our total assets in investment
securities of real estate companies. A real estate company is one that (i) derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and
land; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate. We will not invest in general partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities that do not afford limited liability to their security holders. However, limited
liability entities in which we invest may hold interests in general partnerships, joint ventures, or other non-limited liability entities. When purchasing securities, we generally favor purchasing securities issued by entities that
have (i) completed the initial offering of their securities, (ii) operated for a period of at least two years, and typically more than five years, from the completion of their initial offering, and (iii) fully invested their capital
in real properties or other real estate related investments.
Our investment objective is to generate current income and capital appreciation through the acquisition of real estate assets and debt and equity real estate-related investments. Our independent
directors review our investment policies periodically, at least annually, to confirm that our policies are in the best interests of our stockholders. Each such determination and the basis thereof are contained in the minutes of our
Board of Directors meetings.
30
Table of Contents
We seek to accomplish our objective by rigorously analyzing the value of and risks associated with potential acquisitions, and, for up to 20% of our total assets, by acquiring real estate securities at
significant discounts to their net asset value.
We intend to expand our investment strategy to include acquisition of distressed real properties. Like our other investments, we would expect to hold distressed properties and infuse funds as necessary
to extract unrealized value.
We will engage in various investment strategies to achieve our overall investment objectives. The strategy we select depends upon, among other things, market opportunities, the skills and experience of
the Advisers’ investment team and our overall portfolio composition. We generally seek to acquire assets that produce ongoing distributable income for investors, yet with a primary focus on purchasing such assets at a discount from
what the Advisers estimates to be the actual or potential value of the real estate.
We intend to continue our historical activities related to launching tender offers to purchase shares of non-traded REITs in order to boost our short-term cash flow and to support our distributions,
subject to the constraint that such securities will not exceed 20% of our portfolio. We believe this niche strategy will allow us to pay distributions that are supported by cash flow rather than paying back investors’ capital,
although there can be no assurance that some portion of any distribution is not a return of capital.
Rental and Reimbursement
We generate rental revenue by leasing office space and apartment units to a building’s tenants. These tenant leases fall under the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, and are
classified as operating leases. Revenues from such leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements.
Investment Income
We generate revenues in the form of operating income, capital gains and dividends on dividend-paying equity securities or other equity interests that we acquire, in addition to interest on any debt
investments that we hold. Further, we may generate revenue in the form of commitment, origination, structuring or diligence fees, monitoring fees, fees for providing managerial assistance and possibly consulting fees and
performance-based fees. Any such fees are generated in connection with our investments and recognized as earned.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of: (i) advisory fees to our Advisers; (ii) our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by MacKenzie in performing its obligations
under the Administration Agreement; and (iii) other operating expenses as detailed below. Our investment advisory fees compensate our Investment Adviser and Real Estate Adviser for their work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating,
closing, monitoring and servicing our investments. Our expenses must be billed to and paid by us, except that MacKenzie may be reimbursed for actual cost of goods and services used by us and certain necessary administrative expenses.
We will bear all other expenses of our operations and transactions, including:
•
the cost of operating and maintaining real estate properties;
•
the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services;
•
the cost of effecting sales and repurchases of our shares and other securities;
•
interest payable on debt, if any, to finance our investments;
•
fees payable to third parties relating to, or associated with, making investments, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence reviews of prospective investments and third-party advisory fees;
•
transfer agent and safekeeping fees;
•
fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
•
federal and state registration fees, any stock exchange listing fees in the future;
•
federal, state and local taxes;
•
independent directors’ fees and expenses;
•
brokerage commissions;
•
fidelity bond, directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance, and other insurance premiums;
•
direct costs and expenses of administration and sub-administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff;
31
Table of Contents
•
fees and expenses associated with independent audits and outside legal costs;
•
costs associated with our reporting and compliance obligations under the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act and applicable federal and state securities laws; and
•
all other expenses incurred by either MacKenzie or us in connection with administering our business, including payments under the Administration Agreement that are based upon our allocable portion of overhead and other
expenses incurred by MacKenzie in performing its obligations under the Administration Agreement, including rent, the fees and expenses associated with performing compliance functions, and our allocable portion of the costs of
compensation and related expenses of our chief compliance officer and our chief financial officer and any administrative support staff.
Portfolio Investment Composition
As of June 30, 2023, we owned various real estate limited partnerships and REITs that are listed in the “Investments, at fair value” in the table below. We also owned various investments in entities
that own real estate which gave us enough control such that the investments are not securities for 1940 Act purposes, but not enough to consolidate the financial statements of such entities with our own; these are listed below as

There are no present plans for the improvement or development of any property except for the vacant land discussed below. Each property is being held for income production and increased occupancy and/or
rental rates. We have property and liability insurance policies on all properties which we believe are adequate. The annual property taxes for Commodore are estimated to be $201,806; for The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments),
$237,503; for Hollywood Property, $259,446; for Shoreline Apartments, $320,480; for First & Main Office Building, $251,857; for 1300 Main Office Building, $110,281; for Woodland Corporate Center Office Building, $47,428; for Main
Street West Office Building, $72,404; and for Satellite Place Office Building $190,574.
Aurora Land Development
We also own a parcel of entitled land of approximately 2.75 acres located at the corner of Business Center Drive and Healthcare Drive in Fairfield, California. We plan to build a multi-family
residential community on this land which will include 72 units and a club house. The City is currently reviewing our development application and we hope for the approval and commencement of the construction in the fall of 2023.
Current Market and Economic Conditions
The markets in which our properties (those consolidated and those that are not yet consolidated) operate are highly competitive, and each property faces unique competitive challenges based upon local
economic, political, and legal factors. Our West coast multi-family properties are generally restricted from raising rents significantly by local rent control laws. Two of our unconsolidated investments in apartment properties,
Lakemont Partners and Capitol Hill, are also subject to rent control. Rent control can result in average rents that are significantly below market, and this provides some buffer against declining rents in a recession. However, in
order to encourage development, rent control usually does not apply to newer properties. Since older properties may be unable to raise rents as needed, they may be unable to make improvements that could allow them to compete with
newer properties.
Our consolidated office properties, 1300 Main, First and Main, Main Street West, Satellite Place, and Woodland Corporate Center Two, are all Class A suburban office properties and are located in Napa,
California, Napa, California, Napa, California, Duluth, Georgia, and Woodland, California, respectively. All properties must compete with every other office property in the market, as well as facing the uncertainty of workers
returning to the office after COVID-19.
Our unconsolidated investment in a hotel property, Citrus Park Hotel, is a Courtyard by Marriott located in the Tampa/St. Petersburg market that competes for business and leisure travel.
Recently, the broader economy began experiencing increased levels of inflation, higher interest rates and tightening monetary and fiscal policies. The Federal Reserve has increased its targeted range
for the federal funds rate, leading to increased interest rates and it foresees further interest rate increases. We currently have fixed and variable interest rates for our loans. The rise in overall interest rates has caused an
increase in our variable rate borrowing costs resulting in an increase in interest expense. The higher interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve to address inflation may also adversely impact real estate asset values. In addition,
a prolonged period of high and persistent inflation could cause an increase in our expenses. The current market and economic conditions could have a material impact on our business, cash flow and results of operations. It could also
impact our ability to find suitable acquisitions, sell properties, and raise equity and debt capital.

Table of Contents
Rental and reimbursements revenues:
Rental and reimbursement revenues are generated from our commercial and residential real estate properties. During the year ended June 30, 2023, we generated $15.11 million in rental and reimbursements
revenues, of which $9.10 million was generated from our six commercial properties (Addison Corporate Center, Satellite Place Office Building, First & Main Office Building, 1300 Main Office Building, Main Street West Office
Building and Woodland Corporate Center Office Building), and $6.01 million was generated from our four residential properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline
Apartments). During the year ended June 30, 2022, we generated $10.37 million in rental and reimbursements revenues, of which $7.47 million was generated from two commercial properties (Addison Corporate Center and Satellite Place
Office Building) and $2.90 million from our four residential properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments). The increase in rents from commercial
properties and residential properties was mainly due to the acquisition of four commercial properties, as well as two existing residential properties reporting a full year of operations during the year ended June 30, 2023.
Investment income:
Investment income was made up of dividends, distributions from operations, distributions from sales/capital transactions, interest, and other investment income. Total investment income for the years
ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $11.31 million and $4.91 million, respectively. During the year ended June 30, 2023 we received $10.82 million of distributions from operations, sales, and liquidations as compared to $3.67 million
during the year ended June 30, 2022. During the year ended June 30, 2023, we received dividends, interest, and other investment income of $0.49 million as compared to $1.24 million received during the year ended June 30, 2022. The
increase in investment income is due to the increase in distributions from liquidated investments offset by the decrease in dividend income due to decrease in our investment portfolio since June 30, 2022. The majority of the sales
distributions received during the year ended June 30, 2023, was from Dimension 28, LLP (“Dimension 28”). Dimension 28 sold the underlying property and distributed the majority of the proceeds from the sale in February 2023. We
received $21.56 million from Dimension 28, of which $11.48 million was a return of capital and the remaining $10.08 million was recorded as distribution income from sales transactions. As of June 30, 2023, we have investments with
total cost basis of $25.67 million as compared to $50.10 million as of June 30, 2022.
Other income:
During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recognized net other income of $14.49 million, of which $14.84 million was gain on extinguishment of debt income resulting from the sale of Addison Property Owner
offset by $0.35 million of loss on disposal of real estate of Addison Corporate Center. There was no such other income (loss) during the year ended June 30, 2022.
Expenses:
Our asset management and incentive management fees are based on the advisory agreements that were effective January 1, 2021.
Asset management fee:
The asset management fees for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $3.00 million and $2.73 million, respectively. The slight increase was due to an increase in the Invested Capital since June 30,
2022.
Incentive management fee:
Under the Advisory Management Agreement, we pay an incentive management fee that is equal to 15% of all distributions once shareholders have received cumulative distributions equal to 6% from the
effective date of the Agreement. We did not incur any incentive management fee for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Administrative cost and transfer agent reimbursements:
Costs reimbursed to MacKenzie for the year ended June 30, 2023 were $0.73 million as compared to $0.61 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The slight increase was due to an increase in the
allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by MacKenzie in comparison to June 30, 2022, as a result of the increase in our capital raising activities.
Transfer agent cost reimbursements paid to MacKenzie for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $0.09 million and $0.11 million, respectively.

Property operating and maintenance expenses:
Operating and maintenance expenses mainly consist of real estate taxes, utilities, repair and maintenance, cleaning, landscape, security, property management fees, insurance, and various other
administrative expenses incurred in the operation of our commercial and residential real estate assets. During the year ended June 30, 2023, we incurred operating and maintenance expenses of $9.03 million, of which $6.51 million were
incurred in the operation of our six commercial properties (Addison Corporate Center, Satellite Place Office Building, First & Main Office Building, 1300 Main Office Building, Woodland Corporate Center Office Building and Main

Office Building) and $1.49 million were incurred in the operation of our four residential properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments).
Depreciation and amortization:
During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded depreciation and amortization of $5.27 million, of which $3.01 million was attributable to the depreciation and amortization of real estate and
intangible assets of our five commercial properties (Satellite Place Office Building, First & Main Office Building, 1300 Main Office Building, Woodland Corporate Center Office Building and Main Street West Office Building ) and
$2.26 million was attributable to our four residential properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments). During the year ended June 30, 2022, we recorded
depreciation and amortization of $4.54 million, of which $3.39 million was attributable to the depreciation and amortization of real estate and intangible assets of our two commercial properties (Addison Corporate Center and Satellite

Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2023 was $7.10 million, of which $4.14 million was incurred on the mortgage notes payable associated with our five commercial properties (Addison Corporate
Center, First & Main Office Building, 1300 Main Office Building, Woodland Corporate Center Office Building and Main Street West Office Building ) and $2.96 million was incurred on the mortgage notes payable associated with our
four residential properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments). Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2022 was $2.35 million, of which $1.09
million was incurred on the notes payable associated with Addison Corporate Center, Hollywood Property and Shoreline Apartments, $1.24 million was incurred on the mortgage notes payable associated with our four residential
properties (Commodore Apartments, The Park View (f/k/a as Pon De Leo Apartments), Hollywood Apartments, and Shoreline Apartments) and $0.02 million was incurred on short sale fees.
Other operating expenses:
Other operating expenses include professional fees, directors’ fees, printing and mailing expense, and other general and administrative expenses. Other operating expenses for the years ended June 30,
2023 and 2022, were $1.63 million and $1.35 million, respectively. The increase in other operating expenses is due to the following: (i) the acquisition of new properties: First & Main Office Building in July 2022, 1300 Main
Office Building in October 2022, Woodland Corporate Center Office Building in January 2023 and Main Street West Office Building in February 2023, resulting in higher amount of general and administrative operating expenses during the
year ended June 30, 2023, and (ii) three existing properties, Hollywood Apartments acquired in October 2021, Shoreline Apartments acquired in May 2022 and Satellite Place Office Building acquired in June 2022, reporting a full year of
operations during the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to less than two months of operations during the year ended June 30, 2022.
Net realized gain on sale of investments:
During the year ended June 30, 2023, we had a realized gain of $0.66 million as compared to $7.35 million during the year ended June 30, 2022. Total realized gains for the year ended June 30, 2023, were
realized from the sale of three limited partnership interest with net realized gain of $0.43, nine non-traded REIT securities with net realized gain of $0.17 million, one investment trust with net realized gain of $0.05 million, and
one publicly traded REIT securities with total realized gains of $0.01 million. Total realized gains for the year ended June 30, 2022, were realized from the sale of three publicly traded REIT securities with total realized gains of
$0.11 million and sixteen non-traded REIT securities with net realized gain of $9.13 million offset by a realized loss of $1.89 million from four limited partnership interest.
Net unrealized gain (loss) on investments:
During the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net unrealized loss on investments of $10.28 million, which were net of $8.30 million of unrealized gain reclassification adjustments. The
reclassification adjustments are the accumulated unrealized gains or losses as of the end of the prior period that are realized during the current period. Accordingly, the net unrealized loss on investments for the year ended June 30,
2023 was $1.98 million, which resulted from fair value depreciations of $1.80 million from non-traded REIT securities and $0.67 million from limited partnership interests, offset by a net fair value appreciation of $0.49 million from
general partnership interests.

Table of Contents
During the year ended June 30, 2022, we recorded net unrealized gains of $8.87 million, which were net of $0.38 million of unrealized gain reclassification adjustments. The reclassification
adjustments are the accumulated unrealized gains or losses as of the end of prior period that are realized during the current period. Accordingly, the net unrealized gains for the year ended June 30, 2022 were $9.25 million,
resulted from fair value appreciations of $7.19 million from limited partnership interests, $2.04 million from non-traded REIT securities, $0.01 million from investment trust, and $0.01 million from publicly traded securities. The
unrealized gain from non-traded REIT securities includes $2.56 million of unrealized gain recorded on the FSP Satellite shares that we owned prior to June 30, 2021.
Income tax provision (benefit):
The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT for tax purposes under the Code and, as a REIT, is not subject to federal income taxes on amounts that it distributes to the stockholders, provided
that, on an annual basis, it generally distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any capital gain) to the stockholders and meets certain other
conditions. To the extent that it satisfies the annual distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable income.
In addition, it will be subject to a 4% excise tax if the actual amount that it pays to its stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
The Parent Company satisfied the annual dividend payment and other REIT requirements for the tax year ended December 31, 2022. Therefore, it did not incur any tax expense or excise tax on its income
from operations during the quarterly periods within the tax year 2022. In addition, for the tax year 2023, we intend to pay the requisite amounts of dividends during the year and meet other REIT requirements such that it will not owe
any income taxes. Therefore, the Parent Company did not record any income tax provisions during any fiscal periods within the tax year 2023.
TRS and MacKenzie NY 2 are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates. However, these subsidiaries did not have material taxable income for tax
year 2022. In addition, as discussed in Note 1, TRS was terminated effective December 31, 2022. Therefore, TRS, and MacKenzie NY 2 did not record any income tax provisions during any fiscal periods within the tax year 2022. As of June
30, 2023, MacKenzie NY 2, as a taxable corporate subsidiary of the Parent Company, did not have any taxable income. Therefore, we did not record any tax provisions for tax year 2023. MacKenzie Satellite is a qualified REIT subsidiary
of the Parent Company. Therefore, it does not file a separate tax return.
The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership. Hollywood Hillview, MacKenzie Shoreline, Madison, and PVT are limited liability companies. First & Main, 1300 Main, Woodland Corporate Center Two,
and Main Street West are limited partnerships. Accordingly, all income tax liabilities of these entities flow through to their partners, which ultimately is the Company. Therefore, no income tax provisions are recorded for these
entities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources:
We offered to sell up to 5 million shares of common stock in our first public offering and up to 15 million shares of common stock in each of our
second and third public offerings. We have raised total gross proceeds of $119.10 million from the issuance of common stock under the three public offerings, $42.46 million from our first public offering, which concluded in October
2016, $67.99 million from the second public offering, which concluded in October 2019, and $8.65 million from our third public offering, which concluded in October 2020. In addition, we have raised $14.19 million from the issuance
of common shares under the DRIP. Of the total capital raised from the public offerings of our common stock as of June 30, 2023, we have used $13.36 million to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program. In November 2021,
the SEC qualified our offering statement pursuant to Regulation A to sell up to $50,000,000 of shares of our Series A preferred stock at an initial offering price of $25.00 per share. On October 14, 2022, we amended our offering
statement and increased the offering to sell up to $75 million of shares of our Series A preferred stock. We had raised $16.37 million through the sale of our Series A preferred stock pursuant to the Offering Circular as of June 30,
2023. In addition, we have raised $0.08 million from the issuance of Series A preferred shares under the DRIP. We plan to fund future investments with the net proceeds raised from our preferred equity offering and any future
offerings of securities and cash flows from operations, as well as interest earned from the temporary investment of cash in U.S. government securities and other high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less. We also
may fund a portion of our investments through borrowings from banks and issuances of senior securities. We also may borrow money within the underlying companies in which we have majority ownership. In addition, from time to time, we
may draw on the Company’s margin line of credit on a temporary basis to bridge our investment purchases and sales or capital raising. For additional information concerning our margin borrowing activity, please see Note 9 - Margin
Loans in the financial statements included in this report.
We intend to utilize leverage to enhance the total returns of our portfolio. Historically, we were only able to access leverage at attractive costs through a credit facility, but the termination of our
BDC status effective December 31, 2020 has provided us with greater flexibility in choosing among different alternatives for raising debt capital going forward.
We also expect to have greater flexibility in issuing securities with common equity participation features (such as warrants and convertible notes) and/or additional classes of stock (such as preferred)
in order to facilitate capital formation since we are no longer subject to the restrictions of the 1940 Act.
Our aggregate borrowings (if any), secured and unsecured, are expected to be reasonable in relation to our net assets and will be reviewed by the Board of Directors at least quarterly.
We used the funds raised from our public offerings to invest in portfolio companies and to pay operating expenses.
We finished the year ended June 30, 2023, with cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and receivables of $19.35 million, and approximately $4.01 million of current liabilities. Because of our
strong liquidity and the liquidity preservation measures taken by the board, we are currently capable of meeting all of our obligations and continuing our operations for the foreseeable future. We intend to continue to qualify as a
REIT and to meet the associated testing requirements, including paying out at least 90% of our taxable income.
Cash Flows:
Fiscal 2023:
For the year ended June 30, 2023, we experienced a net increase in cash of $9.14 million. During this year, net cash used in our operating activities totaled $6.62 million, while we generated net cash
of $15.31 million from our investing activities and $0.45 million from our financing activities.
The net cash outflow of $6.62 million from operating activities resulted from $23.71 million of cash used in operating expenses offset by cash inflow of $15.19 million of rental revenues and $1.90
million of investment income.
The net cash inflow of $15.31 million from investing activities resulted from (i) the sale of investments, and distributions received from investments of $15.24 million, (ii) the sale of real estate of
$8.69 million of and (iii) distributions received from our investments that are considered return of capital of $12.96 million, offset by cash outflow from (i) real estate acquisitions through our subsidiaries of $18.70 million, (ii)
purchases of equity investments of $1.62 million, (iii) payment on the contingent liability of $1.16 million and (iv) payment of investment acquisition advance of $0.10 million.

Fiscal 2022:
For the year ended June 30, 2022, we experienced a net increase in cash of $1.24 million. During this year, we generated cash of $4.62 million from our operating activities and $28.79 million from our
financing activities, partially offset by the use of $32.17 million in our investing activities.
The net cash inflow of $4.62 million from operating activities resulted from $10.48 million of rental revenues and $4.91 million of investment income offset by $10.77 million of cash used in operating
expenses.
The net cash outflow of $32.17 million from investing activities resulted from real estate acquisitions through our subsidiaries of $63.24 million and purchases of equity investments of $24.87 million,
partially offset by cash inflows of $33.69 million from sale of investments and $22.25 million from distributions received from our investments that are considered return of capital.
The net cash inflow of $28.79 million from financing activities resulted from note payable proceeds received of $34.45 million for financing the real estate acquisitions, $2.94 million proceeds from
issuance of preferred stock, $1.07 million of capital contributions received from the non-controlling interest holders, and $0.09 million proceeds from capital pending acceptance offset by payments on existing note payable of $3.96
million, payments of dividends of $2.82 million, redemption of common stock of $1.43 million, payments of deferred finance cost of $0.83 million, payments of syndication cost amounting to $0.71 million, and capital distributions to

Material Cash Obligations
We have entered into two contracts under which we have material future commitments: (i) the Advisory Management Agreement, under which the Real Estate Adviser serves as our adviser, and (ii) the
Administration Agreement, under which MacKenzie furnishes us with certain non-investment management services and administrative services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Each of these agreements is terminable by either
party upon proper notice. Payments under the Advisory Management Agreement in future periods will be (i) a percentage of the value of our Invested Capital; (ii) Acquisition Fees, and (iii) incentive fees based on our performance above
specified hurdles. Payments under the Administration Agreement will occur on an ongoing basis as expenses are incurred on our behalf by MacKenzie. However, if MacKenzie withdraws as our administrator, it will be liable for any
expenses we incur as a result of such withdrawal. For additional information concerning the terms of these agreements and related fees paid, see Note 8 – Related Party Transactions in the consolidated financial statements included in
this report.
Borrowings
We do not have any current plans to borrow money at the Parent Company level. In the event that we do so borrow, we would expect to be subject to various customary covenants and restrictions on our
operations, such as covenants which would (i) require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including asset coverage, debt to equity and interest coverage, and a minimum net worth, and/or (ii) restrict our ability to incur liens,
additional debt, merge or sell assets, make certain investments and/or distributions or engage in transactions with affiliates. While we do not have any plans to borrow money at the Parent Company level, we borrow money within the
underlying companies in which we have majority ownership. The below table presents the total loan outstanding at the underlying companies as of June 30, 2023 and the fiscal years those loans mature:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that management considers critical in that they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters
that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be
reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. In addition
to the discussion below, our critical accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements, which are part of this Annual Report beginning on page F-1.
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocations
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we evaluate whether the transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. If the
transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination, we record the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their relative fair values.
Acquisition-related costs are capitalized in the period incurred and are added to the components of the real estate assets acquired. We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets,
and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates
of future cash flows are based on several factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value
of the property as if it was vacant. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated fair value of the net cash flows of leases in place at the time of acquisition, as compared to the net cash
flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases, which
is on average five years. Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses,
carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, prevailing interest rates, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions could result in an
incorrect valuation of acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, which could impact the amount of our net income (loss). Differences in the amount attributed to the fair value estimate of the
various assets acquired can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.

Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observables used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price is impacted by a number
of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally
will have a higher degree of market price observables and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level I – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I are publicly
traded equity securities. We do not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II – Price inputs are quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that
are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. Investments which are generally included in this category are publicly traded equity
securities with restrictions.
Level III – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair values for these investments are
estimated by management using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values
on public exchanges for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, financial condition, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair
value require significant judgment by management. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market for these investments existed.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement, in its entirety, requires judgment and considers factors
specific to the investment.
Valuation of Investments:
Our consolidated financial statements include investments that are measured at their estimated fair values in accordance with GAAP. Our valuation procedures are summarized below:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange will be valued at such price as of the closing price on the day closest to the valuation date. Where a security is traded but
in limited volume, we may instead utilize the weighted average closing price of the security over the prior 10 trading days. We may value securities that do not trade on a national exchange by using published secondary market trading
information. When doing so, we first confirm that GAAP recognizes the trading price as the fair value of the security.
Securities for which reliable market data are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or provides a valuation or methodology that, in the
judgment of the Investment Adviser or Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, which we expect will represent a substantial portion of our portfolio of securities investments, shall each be valued as follows: (i) each
portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our senior management; and (iii)
the Board of Directors will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where appropriate and necessary, the respective
third‑party valuation firms. The recommendation of fair value will generally be based on the following factors, as relevant:
43
Table of Contents
•
the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
•
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;
•
the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flow;
•
the markets in which the issuer does business; and
•
comparisons to publicly traded securities.
Securities for which market data is not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include the following:
•
private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;
•
securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;
•
debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;
•
securities whose prices are stale;
•
securities affected by significant events; and
•
securities that the Investment Adviser believes were priced incorrectly.
Valuation of Real Property:
When property is owned directly, the valuation process includes a full review of the property financial information. An Argus model is created using all known data such as current rent rolls,
escalators, expenses, market data in the area where the property is located, cap rates, discount rates, mortgages, interest rates, and other pertinent information. We estimate future leasing and costs associated, generally over a
ten-year period, to determine the fair value of the property. Once the fair value is determined, and reviewed by the board of directors, a determination of whether any impairment is required is made and documented. In addition, once
per year, in preparation of net asset value, we obtain a third-party appraisal on directly owned properties.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements will express the uncertainty of such valuations, and any change
in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.
Below is a discussion of additional accounting policies and estimates. While management determined these to be not critical, they are still considered to be significant and relevant for understanding
and evaluating our reported financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported asset values, liabilities, revenues, expenses and unrealized gains
(losses) on investments during the reporting period. These estimates are susceptible to change, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates, which in turn could have material impacts on our reported financial
results.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue, net of concessions, which is derived primarily from lease contracts and includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement, is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectability is determined to be probable.
Minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives, and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases
when collectability is probable. Amounts expected to be received in later years are recorded as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting
purposes, are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant
improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that
is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term.
44
Table of Contents
Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
•
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
•
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
In accordance with ASC Topic 842, we determine whether collectability of lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the lease payments are not probable of collection, we fully
reserve for rent and reimbursement receivables, including deferred rent receivable, and recognize rental income on a cash basis.
Distributions received from investments are evaluated by management and recorded as dividend income or a return of capital (reduction of investment) on the ex-dividend date. Operational dividends or
distributions received from portfolio investments are recorded as investment income. Distributions resulting from the sale or refinance of an investee’s underlying assets are compared to the estimated value of the remaining assets and
are recorded as a return of capital or as investment income as appropriate.
Realized gains or losses on investments are recognized in the period of disposal, distribution, or exchange and are measured by the difference between the proceeds from the sale or distribution and the
cost of the investment. Investments are disposed of on a first-in, first-out basis. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) reflects the net change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of
previously recorded unrealized gains or losses.
Variable Interest Entities
We evaluate the need to consolidate other entities in when we have invested in their securities in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In
determining whether we have a controlling interest in a variable interest entity that requires us to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and
contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary.
Real Estate Assets, Capital Additions, Depreciation and Amortization
We capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred for capital additions, including redevelopment, development, and construction projects. We also allocate certain department costs,
including payroll, at the corporate levels as “indirect costs” of capital additions, if such costs clearly relate to capital additions. We also capitalize interest, property taxes, and insurance during periods in which redevelopment,
development, and construction projects are in progress. Cost capitalization begins once the development or construction activity commences and ceases when the asset is ready for its intended use. Repair and maintenance and tenant
turnover costs are expensed as incurred. Repair and maintenance and tenant turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed on the
straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and anticipate the estimated useful lives of assets by class to be generally as
follows:
Buildings
16 - 45 years
Building improvements
1 - 15 years
Land improvements
5 - 15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3 - 11 years
In-place leases
1 - 10 years
45
Table of Contents
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of
potential impairment emerge, we assess whether we will recover the carrying value of the asset through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. Based on this assessment, if we do not believe that we will
recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets, we will record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
We classify long-lived assets or disposal groups to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:
•
Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group);
•
The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (disposal groups);
•
An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been initiated;
•
The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control
extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year;
•
The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The price at which a long-lived asset (disposal group) is being marketed is indicative of
whether the entity currently has the intent and ability to sell the asset (disposal group). A market price that is reasonable in relation to fair value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale,
whereas a market price in excess of fair value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is not available for immediate sale; and
•
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
On the day that these criteria are met, we suspend depreciation on the investment properties held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization
of acquired in-place leases. The investment properties and liabilities associated with those investment properties that are held for sale are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting
period and recorded at the lesser of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

Item 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our portfolio primarily consists of equity and debt investments in smaller U.S. companies that primarily own commercial real estate that are either illiquid or not listed on any exchange, and our
investments are considered speculative in nature. As a result, we are subject to risk of loss which may prevent our stockholders from achieving price appreciation, dividend distributions and a return of their capital. At June 30,
2023, financial instruments that subjected us to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments, which represented approximately 10% of our total assets as of that date. As discussed in Note 4 – Investments,
to our consolidated financial statements, these investments primarily consist of securities in companies with no readily determinable market values and as such are valued in accordance with our fair value policies and procedures. Our
investment portfolio sometimes also includes shares of publicly traded REITs, which are valued at recently quoted trading prices. Our investment strategy represents a high degree of business and financial risk due primarily to the
general illiquidity of our investments. We may make short-term investments in cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and other high-quality investments that mature in one year or less, pending investments in portfolio companies
made according to our principal investment strategy.
In addition, we are exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our variable-rate indebtedness, generally an increase in interest rates would directly result in higher interest expense. We seek to
manage our exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing a mix of fixed and floating rate financing, and through interest rate hedging agreements to fix or cap our variable rate debt. As of June 30, 2023, the outstanding principal
balance of our variable rate indebtedness was $17.5 million, which is the mortgage debt on Hollywood Property. The debt is indexed to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In order to mitigate the raising interest rate risk, we
have executed an interest rate cap. For the year ended June 30, 2023, a 10% increase in SOFR would have resulted in no change in interest expense, net of the impact of our interest rate cap.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the 1934 Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the 1934 Act. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the 1934
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s Board of Directors,
management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
1.
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and the dispositions of our assets;
47
Table of Contents
2.
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors; and
3.
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control system as of June 30, 2023, was based on the framework for effective internal control over financial reporting described in
Internal Control- Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on management’s assessment, as of June 30, 2023, our system of internal control over financial
reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to
attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts non-accelerated filers from the auditor attestation requirement of
section 404 (b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of the Company’s
fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the
SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation
to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon the Company’s review of copies of such reports furnished to it through the date hereof, or written representations that no other reports were
required to be filed, the Company believes that during its fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 all officers, directors and ten percent shareholders complied with the filing requirements applicable to them, except for the omission to have
filed a Form 3 Initial statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities for Angche Sherpa, which will be corrected by filing a Form 3 subsequent to fiscal year end.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors and
employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each employee
and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code of Ethics.
A copy of the Code, as amended from time to time, has been posted to the “Corporate Documents” section of our web site at http://www.mackenziecapital.com/sec-filings.
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee in accordance with 1934 Act §3(a)(58)(A). The Audit Committee operates under a Charter approved by our Board of Directors, which contains the
responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter, as amended from time to time, has been posted to the “Corporate Documents” section of our web site at http://www.mackenziecapital.com/sec-filings. The
Audit Committee’s responsibilities include establishing guidelines and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the valuation of our loans and investments, selecting our independent registered public accounting firm,
reviewing with such independent registered public accounting firm the planning, scope and results of their audit of our consolidated financial statements, pre‑approving the fees for services performed, reviewing with the independent
registered public accounting firm the adequacy of internal control systems, reviewing our annual consolidated financial statements and periodic filings and receiving our audit reports and consolidated financial statements. The Audit
Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Dozois and Frame, both of whom are Independent Directors as described under Item 13 below. Mr. Dozois serves as chairman of the Audit Committee. We have determined that Mr. Dozois is a “audit
committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a Charter approved by our Board of Directors. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, as amended from time
to time, has been posted to the “Corporate Documents” section of our web site at http://www.mackenziecapital.com/sec-filings.The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are Messrs. Dozois and Frame, both of whom
are Independent Directors. Mr. Frame serves as chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for selecting, researching and nominating directors for
election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, developing and recommending to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and overseeing the
evaluation of the Board of Directors and our management. The nominating and corporate governance committee currently does not consider nominees recommended by our stockholders.
51
Table of Contents
The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board of Directors, our operations, and our
stockholders. In considering possible candidates for election as a director, the nominating committee takes into account, in addition to such other factors as it deems relevant, the desirability of selecting directors who:
•
are of high character and integrity;
•
are accomplished in their respective fields, with superior credentials and recognition;
•
have relevant expertise and experience upon which to be able to offer advice and guidance to management;
•
have sufficient time available to devote to our affairs;
•
are able to work with the other members of the Board of Directors and contribute to our success;
•
can represent the long‑term interests of our stockholders as a whole; and
•
are selected such that the Board of Directors represents a range of backgrounds and experience.
The nominating and corporate governance committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. In determining whether to recommend a
director nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board of Directors as a whole. The nominating and corporate governance
committee generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities that
contribute to the Board of Directors, when identifying and recommending director nominees. The nominating and corporate governance committee believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting
director nominees is consistent with the nominating and corporate governance committee’s goal of creating a Board of Directors that best serves our needs and the interests of our stockholders.
Compensation Committee
We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us.
Item 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We do not have a compensation committee because our executive officers do not receive any direct compensation from us.
Compensation of Directors
Our Independent Directors received an annual retainer of $28,000 for fiscal years up to June 30, 2021; the annual retainer was increased to $48,000 per year beginning July 1, 2021, because the directors
approved of our discontinuing directors’ liability insurance due to the exorbitant cost. They also receive $1,000 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each board meeting in
person and $500 for each telephonic meeting, and also receive $500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending each committee meeting. In addition, the chairman of the Audit Committee
receives an annual fee of $1,000 and each chairman of any other committee receives an annual fee of $1,000 for their additional services, if any, in these capacities. No compensation is expected to be paid to directors who are
non-independent directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of September 28, 2023, to our knowledge, there were no persons that beneficially owned more than five percent of our voting securities.
The following table shows the amount of our common and preferred stocks beneficially owned and based on a total of 13,305,608.63 shares of our common stock and 727,506.11 shares of our preferred stock
outstanding on September 28, 2023, as of that date, by (1) each of our directors and nominees for director, (2) our executive officers and (3) all directors and executive officers as a group. To our knowledge, no other person owns
more than 5% of our common stock. The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined under the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial
ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the individual has the right to
acquire within 60 days of September 28, 2023, through the exercise of any instrument. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has the sole investment and voting power, or shares such powers with his spouse, with respect to the shares

Item 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
We are managed by MacKenzie, which is owned by three sub-partnerships that are owned in varying percentages by MacKenzie and the Advisers employees and the extended family of Messrs. C. E. Patterson,
Chip Patterson, Glen Fuller and Robert Dixon. The general partner of MacKenzie is MCM-GP, Inc., a California corporation owned by the same individuals. The majority of the beneficial interests of MacKenzie are owned by C. E.
Patterson, Berniece A. Patterson, Robert Dixon, Glen Fuller, and Chip Patterson, in addition to other family members. All of the ownership interests are owned by either executive officers of the Company or related persons, and thus
all of the amounts paid by the Company to MacKenzie benefit such related persons. Certain non-family employees of MacKenzie own non-controlling interests in MacKenzie that represent in the aggregate less than 10% of the equity in
MacKenzie. MacKenzie manages all of our affairs except for providing investment advice.
We are advised by the Investment Adviser, whose investment team members have an average of nearly 20 years of experience investing in real estate-related securities. The Investment Adviser is registered
with the SEC and is owned by the same beneficial owners and in the same proportions as MacKenzie. The Investment Adviser is led by its investment team: Glen W. Fuller, who serves as Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of the
General Partner of MacKenzie and the Investment Adviser; Chip Patterson, who serves as Managing Director and General Counsel, and Director of the General Partner of MacKenzie and the Investment Adviser; Robert E. Dixon, who serves as
Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director of the General Partner of MacKenzie and the Investment Adviser; and Christine E. Simpson, who serves as Chief Portfolio Manager and Senior Vice President of Research for the General
Partner of MacKenzie and the Investment Adviser.
We also are advised by the Real Estate Adviser, about 93% of which is owned by the executive officers and related persons of the Company and the remainder of which is owned by certain employees of the
Real Estate Adviser or their affiliates. Thus, 93% of the ownership interests are owned by either executive officers of the Company or related persons, and thus 93% of the amounts paid by the Company to MacKenzie benefit such related
persons.
We have entered into three affiliated contracts — the Advisory Management Agreement, under which the Real Estate Adviser serves as our real estate investment adviser, the Amended and Restated Investment
Advisory Agreement, under which the Investment Adviser serves as our securities portfolio adviser and the Administration Agreement, under which MacKenzie furnishes us with certain non-investment management services and administrative
services necessary to conduct our day-to-day operations. Each of these agreements is terminable by either party upon proper notice. In Fiscal 2023 and 2022, Management fees accrued to the Real Estate Adviser under the Advisory
Management Agreement were $3,004,725 and $2,725,588, respectively. Administration fees accrued and payable under the Administration Agreement for Fiscal 2023 and 2022, were $726,000 and $609,600, respectively. Administration Agreement
fees occur on an ongoing basis as expenses are incurred on our behalf by MacKenzie. However, if MacKenzie withdraws as our administrator, it is liable for any expenses we incur as a result of such withdrawal. For additional
information concerning the terms of these agreements and related fees paid, see Note 8 – Related Party Transactions in the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Related Party Transaction Approval
In order to ensure that we did not engage in any transactions with any persons affiliated with us that are prohibited by the 1940 Act, we implemented certain written policies and procedures whereby our
executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations between the issuer in which we invest, us, companies controlled by us and our executive officers and directors. We do not enter into any agreements
unless and until we are satisfied that doing so does not violate our Charter or raise concerns under the 1940 Act or, if such concerns existed, we took appropriate actions to seek board review and exemptive or other relief for such
transaction. Our Board of Directors reviews these on an annual basis. In addition, our Board of Directors approves all our advisory and administrative agreements.
We have also adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to, among others, our senior officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of our officers, directors
and employees. Our Code of Ethics requires that all employees and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. Pursuant to our Code of Ethics, each
employee and director must disclose any conflicts of interest, or actions or relationships that might give rise to a conflict, to our Chief Compliance Officer. Our Audit Committee is charged with approving any waivers under our Code
of Ethics.

Director Independence
We have determined that both Messrs. Dozois and Frame are Independent Directors. In addition, although our shares are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange, a majority of our
directors, and all of the members of the Audit Committee and the Conflicts Committee, are “independent” as defined by the New York Stock Exchange. The New York Stock Exchange standards provide that to qualify as an independent
director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, our Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that a director has no material relationship with us (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an
organization that has a relationship with us). Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Dozois and Frame each satisfies the New York Stock Exchange independence standards.

Audit Fees were for professional services rendered for the audit of our consolidated financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial
statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by Moss Adams in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and include quarterly reviews and security counts.
Audit-Related Fees were for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial
statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees”. These services include accounting consultations in connection with acquisitions, consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.
Tax Fees were for professional services for federal, state and international tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning and include preparation of federal and
state income tax returns, and other tax research, consultation, correspondence and advice.
All Other Fees are for services other than the services reported above. These fees were incurred for their review of our registration statements and Regulation
A offering statement.
The Audit Committee has concluded the provision of the non-audit services listed above is compatible with maintaining the independence of Moss Adams LLP. Moss Adams LLP did not bill the Advisers or
MacKenzie, for any non-audit services in Fiscal 2023 and 2022.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related
services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The
independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services
performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes and financial statement schedule (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As
part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts
or disclosures to which it relates.
Purchase Price Allocation for Acquisitions
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired certain real estate properties during the year ended June 30, 2023, that were accounted for as asset acquisitions.
For each asset acquisition, the Company assesses the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted
cash-flow analysis) that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and other available market information to allocate the purchase price to land, buildings, and identified intangible assets and liabilities. Estimates of the
fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market
absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment.
The principal consideration for our determination that the fair value measurements used in the purchase price allocation of real estate acquisitions is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment
by management to determine the fair value measurements of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities to allocate the purchase price; (ii) significant auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in evaluating audit evidence related to the
significant assumptions used in the fair value measurement; (iii) the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the significant underlying assumptions; and (iv) use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in
performing the procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
•
With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of certain significant fair value inputs used in the purchase price allocations related to acquired real estate
properties such as market lease rates, carrying costs during lease-up periods, capitalization rates, discount rates, market absorption periods, and prevailing interest rates. The evaluation included comparison of Company assumptions
to independently developed ranges using market data from industry transaction databases and published industry reports.
•
We evaluated the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models and performed procedures over the completeness and accuracy of the data provided by management.

Table of Contents
Fair Value Measurements of Investments
As disclosed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, investments held by the Company have been classified as Level III investments as pricing inputs for these are unobservable and there
is little, if any, market activity for such investments. Establishing fair values of investments is inherently subjective and is often dependent upon significant estimates and modeling assumptions that are unobservable and generally
requires the Company to establish the use of internal assumptions about future cash flows, including the cash flows of underlying real property, and appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates. Fair values inputs for investments classified
as Level III are estimated by management using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, and local market
conditions. Management uses a valuation model that includes critical inputs such as cap rates, discount rates, and consideration of the market where the property is located. The inputs into the determination of fair value require
significant judgment by management.
The principal consideration in our determination that the Level III fair value inputs used in the valuation of investments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management to
determine the fair value measurements; (ii) significant auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in evaluating audit evidence related to the significant assumptions used in the fair value measurement; (iii) the sensitivity of the
respective fair values to the significant underlying assumptions; and (iv) use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing the procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
•
With the assistance of valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used in management’s valuation models such as future cash
flows, including the cash flows of underlying real property, risk-adjusted discount rates, cap rates, nature of the investment, and local market conditions. The evaluation included comparison of the Company’s assumptions to market
data from industry transaction databases and published industry reports.
•
For investments sold during the year or subsequent to year end, we evaluated management’s ability to reasonably estimate fair value by comparing management’s historical estimates to actual results
from those sales.
•
We evaluated the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models and performed procedures over the completeness and accuracy of the data provided by management.

MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2023
NOTE 1 – PRINCIPAL BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
MacKenzie Realty Capital, Inc. (the “Parent Company” together with its subsidiaries as discussed below, collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or
“our”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of Maryland on January 25, 2012. We have elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares, of which (i) 80,000,000 are designated as common stock, with a $ 0.0001 par value per share;
and (ii) 20,000,000 are designated as preferred stock, with a $ 0.0001 par value per share. We commenced our operations on February 28, 2013, and our fiscal year-end is June 30.
We filed our initial registration statement in June 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register the initial public offering
of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The initial public offering commenced in January 2014 and concluded in October 2016. We filed a
second registration statement with the SEC to register a subsequent public offering of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. The second
offering commenced in December 2016 and concluded on October 28, 2019. We filed a third registration statement with the SEC to register a public offering of 15,000,000
shares of our common stock that was declared effective by the SEC on October 31, 2019. The third offering commenced shortly thereafter and expired on October 31, 2020.
The Parent Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, MRC TRS, Inc., (“TRS”) was incorporated under the general corporation laws of the State of California
on February 22, 2016 and operates as a taxable REIT subsidiary. MacKenzie NY Real Estate 2 Corp., (“MacKenzie NY 2”), a wholly owned subsidiary of TRS, was formed for the purpose of making certain limited investments in New York companies. We
terminated TRS effective December 31, 2022, after the sale of its sole investment and transferred the ownership of MacKenzie NY 2, to the Parent Company. The financial statements of TRS (through its termination date) and MacKenzie NY 2 have been
consolidated with the Parent Company.
On
May 20, 2020, we formed an operating partnership, MacKenzie Realty Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”) for the purpose of acquiring and operating real estate assets. As of June 30, 2023, we own all limited partnership units of
the Operating Partnership except for 85,243.43 Class A Limited Partnership units and 473,570.94 preferred units, which would be entitled to receive, at liquidation of the Operating Partnership, 85,243.43 common shares of the Company (stated value of $ 10.25 per share) and $ 11,839,274 (based on the stated value of $ 25
per share for the preferred units) in liquidation preference, respectively. The Parent Company has contributed $ 72,090,886 in capital to
the Operating Partnership since inception; thus the Class A and Series A Preferred Units represent approximately 14.99 % of
all capital contribution s.
In March 2021, we, together with our joint venture partners, formed two operating companies: Madison-PVT Partners LLC (“Madison”) and PVT-Madison Partners LLC (“PVT”), to acquire and operate two residential apartment buildings located in Oakland, California. We own 98.45 %
and 98.75 % of equity units of Madison and PVT, respectively. The joint venture partners own the remaining 1.55 % and 1.25 % equity units of Madison
and PVT, respectively, and also hold a carried interest in both companies. We are the controlling majority owner of both companies; therefore, effective March 31, 2021, we have consolidated the financial statements of these companies.
On April 13, 2021, we filed a preliminary offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) pursuant to Regulation A with the SEC to sell up to $ 50,000,000 of shares of our Series A preferred stock at an initial offering price of $ 25.00 per share. The sale of shares pursuant to this offering began in November 2021 after the definitive version of the Offering Circular was qualified by the SEC on November 2, 2021. We
filed a post-effective amendment to the Offering Circular on October 14, 2022, and increased the offering to sell up to $ 75 million of
shares of our Series A preferred stock. The post-effective amendment to this Offering Circular was declared effective on November 13, 2022.

On October 4, 2021, through the Operating Partnership, we acquired a 90 % economic interest in Hollywood Hillview Owner, LLC (“Hollywood Hillview”), a Delaware limited liability company, to acquire and operate a
multifamily building located in Los Angeles, California. The remaining 10 % economic interest in Hollywood Hillview is owned by an
unaffiliated third party, True USA, LLC. Hollywood Hillview owns 100 % of the membership interests in PT Hillview GP, LLC (the “PT
Hillview”). We are the controlling majority owner of Hollywood Hillview; therefore, effective December 31, 2021, we have consolidated the financial statements of Hollywood Hillview.
On January 25, 2022, through the Operating Partnership, we acquired a 98 % limited liability company interest in MacKenzie BAA IG Shoreline LLC (“MacKenzie Shoreline”), formed to acquire, renovate, and own the 84-unit
multifamily building located at 1841 Laguna Street, Concord, CA. The joint venture partners own the remaining 2 % of the limited
liability company interest as well as a carried interest. We are the controlling majority owner of the MacKenzie Shoreline; therefore, effective June 30, 2022, we have consolidated the financial statements of MacKenzie Shoreline.
On April 1, 2022, we, and our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, FSP
Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into a reverse triangular merger agreement with FSP Satellite Place Corp. (“FSP Satellite”), pursuant to which the Merger Sub would be merged with and into FSP Satellite with FSP Satellite as the surviving
entity, but renamed MacKenzie Satellite Place, Inc. (“MacKenzie Satellite”). On June 1, 2022, the merger closed, and MacKenzie Satellite became our wholly owned subsidiary, which owns the Satellite Place Office Building, a six-story Class “A”
suburban office building containing approximately 134,785 rentable square feet of space located on approximately 10 acres of land in Duluth, GA. The former shareholders of FSP Satellite received cash or shares of the Company, based upon their election. All former
shareholders of FSP Satellite holders elected to be paid in cash with the exception of two shareholders who elected to receive common
and preferred stocks in the amount of $ 27,503 and $ 13,752 , respectively. Subsequent to the completion of the merger, we have consolidated the financial statements of MacKenzie Satellite effective June 30, 2022.
On May 6, 2022, the Operating Partnership purchased 100 % of the membership interests in eight
limited liability companies (“Management Companies”) and one parcel of entitled land from The Wiseman Company, LLC (“Wiseman”) for $ 18,333,000 and $ 3,050,000 , respectively.
The limited liability companies own the general partnership interests in eight limited partnerships, each of which own a Class A or B
office property in Napa, Fairfield, or Woodland, California (the “Wiseman Properties”). Each Management Company is the sole general partner of each of the limited partnerships. The membership interest purchase price is subject to adjustments and
holdbacks as provided in the membership interest purchase agreement. As part of the purchase agreement, $ 4,650,000 of the purchase price
was paid through the issuance of 206,666.67 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership and $ 750,000 of the land purchase price was paid through the issuance of 77,881.62
Class A units of the Operating Partnership. Further details of this acquisition are discussed in Note 5. We have consolidated the financial statements of the eight limited liability companies, which hold the general partnership interests in the limited partnerships, effective June 30, 2022.
Wiseman is a full-service real estate syndicator, developer, broker, and property manager. It was founded in 1979 and served as the general partner for nine currently active partnerships owning the Wiseman Properties. Concurrently with acquiring the general partnership interests in the Wiseman
Properties, the Operating Partnership also negotiated the right to acquire the limited partnership interest in each Wiseman Property at pre-determined prices over the following two years . Management believes this transaction is strategically important as it focuses the portfolio on our desired geographic area (Western United States) and creates a
captive pipeline of properties which we can acquire when convenient over the next two years . On July 23, 2022, in addition to the
general partnership interest in First & Main, LP (“First & Main”), the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 %
of the limited partnership interest in First & Main for total purchase price of $ 3,376,322 , of which $ 2,711,378 was paid through issuance of 120,505.66
Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. We consolidated the financial statements of First & Main during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. On October 1, 2022, in addition to the general partnership interest in 1300 Main, LP (“1300
Main”), the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership interest in 1300 Main for total
purchase price of $ 6,480,582 . We consolidated the financial statements of 1300 Main during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. On
January 3, 2023, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership interest in Woodland Corporate
Center Two, LP (“Woodland Corporate Center Two”) for total purchase price of $ 5,636,966 , of which $ 3,242,557 was paid through the issuance of 144,113.63
Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. On February 1, 2023, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the
limited partnership interest in Main Street West, LP (“Main Street West”) for total purchase price of $ 8,277,016 . We consolidated the
financial statements of Woodland Corporate Center Two and Main Street West during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

On February 6, 2023,
we formed a new entity, MRC Aurora, LLC (the “MRC Aurora”) for the purpose of owning, developing, renovating, leasing, managing, renting, and potentially selling certain real property and building and improvements located at 5000 Wiseman Way,
Fairfield, California (the “Aurora Project”). The Parent Company is the manager and the Operating Partnership is the sole common member of MRC Aurora. The Operating Partnership contributed the entitled land located at 5000 Wiseman Way, Fairfield,
California in exchange for the common membership interest. MRC Aurora plans to raise $ 10 million in preferred capital and also obtain a
construction loan to fund the development of the Aurora Project. As of June 30, 2023, MRC Aurora has not commenced selling the preferred units, making the Operating Partnership the sole equity holder
of MRC Aurora. Therefore, we have consolidated the financial statements of MRC Aurora .
We are externally
managed by MacKenzie Capital Management, LP (“MacKenzie”) under the administration agreement dated and effective as of January 1, 2021 (the “Administration Agreement”). MacKenzie manages all of our affairs except for providing investment advice.
MCM Advisers, LP (the “Investment Adviser”) advises us in our assessment, acquisition, and divestiture of securities under the advisory agreement amended and restated effective January 1, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Investment Advisory
Agreement”). MacKenzie Real Estate Advisers, LP (the “Real Estate Adviser”; together, the “Investment Adviser” and the “Real Estate Adviser” may be referred to as “Adviser” or “Advisers” as appropriate) advises us in our assessment, acquisition,
and divestiture of real estate assets. We pursue a strategy focused on investing primarily in real estate assets, and to a lesser extent (intended to be less than 20 % of our portfolio) in illiquid or non-traded debt and equity securities issued by U.S. companies generally owning commercial real estate. These companies are likely to be non-traded
REITs, small-capitalization publicly traded REITs, public and private real estate limited partnerships, and limited liability companies.
As of June 30, 2023, we have raised approximately $ 119.10
million from our three common stock public offerings and $ 16.37 million from our Series A preferred stock offering pursuant to the Offering Circular. As of June 30, 2023, we have issued common and preferred shares with gross proceeds of $ 14.19 million and $ 0.08 million,
respectively, under our dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). Of the total shares issued by us as of June 30, 2023, approximately $ 13.36
million worth of common and preferred stock shares have been repurchased under our share repurchase program.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Policy
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-K and Regulation S-X. We follow the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries and
majority-owned controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current year end presentation. The reclassification has no effect on our consolidated balance sheet or the consolidated statement of
operations as previously reported .
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported asset values,
liabilities, revenues, expenses and unrealized gains (losses) on investments during the reporting period. Material estimates that are susceptible to change, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
Variable Interest Entities
We evaluate the need to consolidate our investments in securities in accordance
with ASC 810. In determining whether we have a controlling interest in a variable interest entity and whether to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and
contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners, as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 7 for additional information .

Table of Contents
Assets
and Liabilities Held for Sale
We classify long-lived assets or disposal groups to be sold as held for sale in the period in
which all of the following criteria are met:
•
Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group);
•
The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary
for sales of such assets (disposal groups);
•
An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) have been
initiated;
•
The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for recognition as
a completed sale within one year, except if events or circumstances beyond our control extend the period of time required to sell the asset or disposal group beyond one year;
•
The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The
price at which a long-lived asset (disposal group) is being marketed is indicative of whether the entity currently has the intent and ability to sell the asset (disposal group). A market price that is reasonable in relation to fair
value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale, whereas a market price in excess of fair value indicates that the asset (disposal group) is not available for immediate sale; and
•
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan
will be withdrawn.
On the day that these criteria are met, we suspend
depreciation on the investment properties held for sale, including depreciation for tenant improvements and additions, as well as on the amortization of acquired in-place leases. The investment properties and liabilities associated with those
investment properties that are held for sale are classified separately on the consolidated balance sheets for the most recent reporting period and recorded at the lesser of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Our cash and cash equivalents represent current bank accounts and other bank deposits free of encumbrances and having maturity dates of three
months or less from the respective dates of deposit. We limit cash investments to financial institutions with high credit standing; therefore, we believe our cash investments are not exposed to any significant credit risk. The restricted cash
includes escrow accounts for real property taxes, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements, and debt service and leasing costs held by lenders. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to
certain limits. At times, the cash balances held in financial institutions by us may exceed these insured limits.
Restricted cash is subject to legal or contractual restrictions as to withdrawal or use, including restrictions that require the funds to be used
for a specified purpose and restrictions that limit the purpose for which the funds can be used.
Investments Income Receivable
Investment
income represent dividends, distributions, and sales proceeds recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy but not yet received as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The amounts are generally fully collectible
as they are recognized based on completed transactions. We monitor and adjust our receivables, and those deemed to be uncollectible are written-off only after all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. We have determined that all
investments income receivable balances outstanding as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, are collectible and do not require recording any uncollectible allowance .
Rents and Other Receivables
We will periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required
payments under lease agreements. We exercise judgment in establishing these allowances and consider payment history and current credit status of tenants in developing these estimates. As of June 30, 2023, we recognized an allowance for doubtful
accounts of $ 150,786 . As of June 30, 2022, we have determined that all rent receivable balances outstanding, are collectible and do
not require recording any uncollectible allowance.
F-12
Table of Contents
Capital Pending Acceptance
We conduct closings for new issuance of our stocks twice per month and admit new stockholders effective beginning the first of each month. Subscriptions are effective
only upon our acceptance. Any gross proceeds received from subscriptions which are not accepted as of the period-end are classified as capital pending acceptance in the consolidated balance sheets . As of June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 , capital pending acceptance was $ 538,600
and $ 85,000 , respectively.
Organization and Offering Costs
Organization costs include, among other things, the cost of legal services
pertaining to the organization and incorporation of the business, incorporation fees, and audit fees relating to the public offerings and the initial statement of assets and liabilities. These costs are expensed as incurred. Offering costs
include, among other things, legal fees and other costs pertaining to the preparation of the registration statements and pre- and post-effective amendments. The offering costs incurred by us on the Offering Circular to sell the Series A preferred stock have been classified
as a reduction of equity .
Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Liability
The Parent Company has elected to be treated as a REIT for tax purposes under the Code and as a REIT, is not subject to federal income taxes on
amounts that it distributes to the stockholders, provided that, on an annual basis, it generally distributes at least 90 % of its REIT
taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain) to the stockholders and meets certain other conditions. To the extent it satisfies the annual distribution requirement but distributes
less than 100 % of its REIT taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable
income. In addition, it will be subject to a 4 % nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that it pays to its stockholders in a
calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.
The Parent Company satisfied the annual dividend payment and other REIT requirements for the tax year ended December 31, 2022. Therefore, it did
not incur any tax expense or excise tax on its income from operations during the quarterly periods within the tax year 2022. In addition, for the tax year 2023, we intend to pay the requisite amounts of dividends during the year and meet other
REIT requirements such that the Parent Company will not owe any income taxes. Therefore, the Parent Company did not record any income tax provisions during any fiscal periods within the tax year 2023.
TRS and MacKenzie NY 2 are
subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates. As discussed in Note 1, TRS terminated effective December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, these subsidiaries did not have material taxable
income for tax year 2022. Therefore, TRS, and MacKenzie NY 2 did no t record any income tax provisions during any fiscal period within the tax year 2022. As of June 30, 2023, MacKenzie NY 2 , as a taxable corporate subsidiary of the Parent Company, did no t have any
taxable income. Therefore, we did no t record any tax provisions for tax year 2023. MacKenzie Satellite is a qualified REIT
subsidiary of the Parent Company. Therefore, it does not file a separate tax return.
The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership.
Hollywood Hillview, MacKenzie Shoreline, Madison, and PVT are limited liability companies. First & Main, 1300 Main, Woodland Corporate Center Two, and Main Street West are limited partnerships. Accordingly, all income tax liabilities of
these entities flow through to their partners, which ultimately is the Company. Therefore, no income tax provisions are recorded for these entities.
We follow ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), to account for income taxes using the asset and liability
method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax liabilities attributable to the net unrealized investment gain (losses) on existing investments. In estimating future tax consequences, we consider all
future events, other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates will be recognized as income or expense in the period of enactment. In addition, ASC 740 provides
guidance for recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no uncertain tax positions. Management’s determinations regarding ASC 740 are subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax
laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

Table of Contents
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the date of the consolidated balance sheets but before the date the consolidated
financial statements are issued. Subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the consolidated balance sheets are considered in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements presented
herein. Subsequent events that occur after the date of the consolidated balance sheets that do not provide evidence about the conditions that existed as of the date of the consolidated statements of changes in equity are considered for disclosure
based upon their significance in relation to our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair
value estimates are made at discrete points in time based on relevant information. These estimates may be subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. We
believe that the carrying amounts of our financial instruments, consisting of cash, restricted cash, investments income, rent and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, mortgage notes payable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, below-market lease liabilities, net, deferred rent and other liabilities and due to related entities, approximate the fair values of such items based on their nature, terms, and interest rates .
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue, net of concessions, which is derived primarily from lease contracts and include rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of
each lease agreement, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectability is determined to be probable.
Minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives, and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line
basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is probable. Amounts expected to be received in later years are recorded as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant
improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased
asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s
rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the lease term.
Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
•
whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
•
whether the lessee or lessor supervises the construction and bears the risk of cost overruns;
•
whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates;
•
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
•
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and
•
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
In accordance with ASC Topic 842, we determine whether collectability of lease payments in an operating lease is probable. If we determine the
lease payments are not probable of collection, we fully reserve for rent and reimbursement receivables, including deferred rent receivable, and recognize rental income on a cash basis.
Distributions
received from investments are evaluated by management and recorded as dividend income or a return of capital (reduction of investment) on the ex-dividend date. Operational dividends or distributions received from portfolio investments are
recorded as investment income. Distributions resulting from the sale or refinance of an investee’s underlying assets are compared to the estimated value of the remaining assets and are recorded as a return of capital or as investment income as
appropriate.
Realized gains or
losses on investments are recognized in the period of disposal, distribution, or exchange and are measured by the difference between the proceeds from the sale or distribution and the cost of the investment. Investments are disposed of on a
first-in, first-out basis. Net change in unrealized gain (loss) reflects the net change in portfolio investment values during the reporting period, including the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains or losses.
F-14
Table of Contents
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends (and distributions, if any) to stockholders are recorded on the date of declaration. The amount, if any, to be paid as a quarterly
dividend (or distribution, if any) is approved quarterly by the Board of Directors and is generally based upon management’s estimate of our earnings for the quarter.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observables used in measuring
investments at fair value. Market price is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can
be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observables and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level I –
Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I are publicly traded equity securities. We
do not adjust the quoted price for these investments even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level II –
Price inputs are quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not active; and
model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. Investments which are generally included in this category are publicly traded equity securities with restrictions.
Level III –
Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. Fair values for these investments are estimated by management
using valuation methodologies that consider a range of factors, including but not limited to the price at which the investment was acquired, the nature of the investment, local market conditions, trading values on public exchanges for
comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, financial condition, and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant
judgment by management. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had an active market for these investments existed.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an
investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement, in its
entirety, requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
Valuation of Investments
Our consolidated financial statements include investments that are measured at their estimated fair values in accordance with GAAP. Our valuation
procedures are summarized below:
Securities for which market quotations are readily available on an exchange will be valued at such price as of the closing price on the day closest
to the valuation date. Where a security is traded but in limited volume, we may instead utilize the weighted average closing price of the security over the prior 10 trading days. We may value securities that do not trade on a national exchange by using published secondary market trading information. When doing so, we first confirm that GAAP recognizes the trading price
as the fair value of the security.
Securities for which reliable market data are not readily available or for which the pricing source does not provide a valuation or methodology or
provides a valuation or methodology that, in the judgment of the Investment Adviser or Board of Directors, does not represent fair value, which we expect will represent a substantial portion of our portfolio of securities investments, shall
each be valued as follows: (i) each portfolio company or investment is initially valued by the investment professionals responsible for the portfolio investment; (ii) preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with our
senior management; and (iii) the Board of Directors will discuss valuations and determine the fair value of each investment in our portfolio in good faith based on the input of the Investment Adviser and, where appropriate and necessary, the
respective third‑party valuation firms. The recommendation of fair value will generally be based on the following factors, as relevant:
F-15
Table of Contents
•
the nature and realizable value of any collateral;
•
the portfolio company’s ability to make payments;
•
the portfolio company’s earnings and discounted cash flow;
•
the markets in which the issuer does business; and
•
comparisons to publicly traded securities.
Securities for which market data is not readily available or for which a pricing source is not sufficient may include the following:
•
private placements and restricted securities that do not have an active trading market;
•
securities whose trading has been suspended or for which market quotes are no longer available;
•
debt securities that have recently gone into default and for which there is no current market;
•
securities whose prices are stale;
•
securities affected by significant events; and
•
securities that the Investment Adviser believes were priced incorrectly.
Valuation of Real Property
When property is owned directly, the valuation process includes a full review of the property financial
information. An Argus model is created using all known data such as current rent rolls, escalators, expenses, market data in the area where the property is located, cap rates, discount rates, mortgages, interest rates, and other pertinent
information. We estimate future leasing and costs associated, generally over a ten-year period, to determine the fair value of the property. Once the fair value is determined, and reviewed by the board of directors, a determination of
whether any impairment is required is made and documented. In addition, once per year, we obtain a third-party appraisal on directly owned properties.
Determination of fair value involves subjective judgments and estimates. Accordingly, the notes to our consolidated financial statements will
express the uncertainty of such valuations, and any change in such valuations, on our consolidated financial statements.
Equity Securities
We have minority and non-controlling equity investments in various limited partnerships and non-traded entities, which do not have readily
determinable fair values. We do not have controlling interests in these entities. Thus, these investments have been recorded as investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC Topic 321, Investments –
Equity Securities , and measured at fair value. The changes in the fair value of these investments are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
Equity Method Investments with Fair Value Option Election
We elected the fair value option of accounting for the investments listed below that would have otherwise been recorded under the equity method
of accounting. The primary purpose of electing the fair value option was to enhance the transparency of our financial condition. Changes in the fair value of these investments, which are inclusive of equity in income, are recorded in the
consolidated statement of operations during the period such changes occur. The below list of investments would have been accounted for under the equity method if the fair value method had not been elected and have been included in investments in
the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Unconsolidated Investments (Non-security) at Fair Value
These are equity method investments that do
not meet the consolidation requirements under ASC 810. Under the 1940 Act, these investments are considered “voting securities” as opposed to “investment securities”. Therefore, we listed these equity method investments separately from the
rest of the equity method investments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2023, our investments in Green Valley Medical Center, LP, Martin Plaza Associates, LP, One Harbor Center, LP and Westside Professional
Center I, LP are considered to be voting securities under the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2022, our investments in 1300 Main, LP, First & Main, LP, Dimensions 28, LLP, Green Valley Medical Center, LP, Main Street West, LP, Martin Plaza
Associates, LP, One Harbor Center, LP, Westside Professional Center I, LP and Woodland Corporate Center Two, LP were considered to be voting securities under the 1940 Act. Therefore, these investments were shown as unconsolidated investments
(non-security), at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. For GAAP purposes, these investments have been recorded under the equity method investments, for which we have elected the fair value option as discussed above.
Lease Accounting Topic 842
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). Under ASU 2016-02, an entity is required to recognize
right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing. ASU 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor, and parties to sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors
are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to facilitate assessment the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
In July 2018, the
FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”). ASU 2018-11 provides lessors with a practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components if both (i) the timing and pattern of revenue
recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. We adopted the practical expedient as of July 1, 2019, to account for
lease and non-lease components as a single component in lease contracts where we or one of our subsidiaries is the lessor.
Our current portfolio consists of commercial office properties and residential apartment buildings whereby we generate rental revenue by leasing office space and apartment units to the building’s tenants. These
tenant leases fall under the scope of Topic 842, and are classified as operating leases. Revenues from such leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements. Non-lease components of our leases are combined
with the related lease components and accounted for as a single lease component under Topic 842. The balances of net real estate investments and related depreciation on our consolidated financial statements relate to assets for which we are the
lessor .

Real Estate Assets, Capital Additions, Depreciation and Amortization
We
capitalize costs, including certain indirect costs, incurred for capital additions, including redevelopment, development, and construction projects. We also allocate certain department costs, including payroll, at the corporate levels as
“indirect costs” of capital additions, if such costs clearly relate to capital additions. We also capitalize interest, property taxes and insurance during periods in which redevelopment, development, and construction projects are in progress.
Cost capitalization begins once the development or construction activity commences and ceases when the asset is ready for its intended use. Repair and maintenance and tenant turnover costs are expensed as incurred. Repair and maintenance and
tenant turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed on the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life . We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and anticipates the estimated
useful lives of assets by class to be generally as follows:
Buildings
16 – 45 years
Building improvements
1 – 15 years
Land improvements
5 – 15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3 – 11 years
In-place leases
1 – 10 years
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocations
In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, upon the acquisition of real estate properties, we evaluate whether the transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. If the
transaction does not meet the definition of a business combination, we record the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date, measured at their relative fair values. Acquisition-related
costs are capitalized in the period incurred and are added to the components of the real estate assets acquired. We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities using
methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on
several factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.
Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated fair value of the net cash flows of leases in place at the time of acquisition, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property
been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the respective leases, which is on average five years . Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require us to make significant assumptions to estimate
market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, prevailing interest rates, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of
inappropriate assumptions could result in an incorrect valuation of acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities, which could impact the amount of our net income (loss). Differences in the amount attributed
to the fair value estimate of the various assets acquired can be significant based upon the assumptions made in calculating these estimates.
Contingent Consideration in an Asset Acquisition
Contingent consideration recognized is included in the initial cost of the assets acquired. Subsequent changes in the recorded amount of contingent
consideration will generally be recognized as an adjustment to the cost basis of the acquired assets, in accordance with ASC 323-10-35-14a and ASC 360-10-30-1. The subsequent changes will be allocated to the acquired assets based on their
relative fair value at the date of acquisition.
Subsequent change in contingent consideration impacts the cost basis of acquired assets, which may also impact the statement of operations through
subsequent accounting for the acquired asset. We are aware of diversity in practice regarding the subsequent treatment of the statement of operations effect of changes to the cost basis of the acquired assets. We generally believe the
depreciation or amortization of these assets should be recognized as a cumulative “catch up” adjustment, as if the additional amount of consideration that is no longer contingent had been accrued from the outset of the arrangement.

Leases
The three partnerships that we acquired during the year ended June 30, 2023; 1300 Main, Main Street West and Woodland Corporate Center Two had solar equipment leases
in place at the time of our acquisition. Therefore, these existing solar leases were reassessed at the acquisition date and were recorded as finance leases in accordance with ASC 842. We record leases on the consolidated balance sheet in the form
of a lease liability for the present value of future minimum payments under the lease terms and a right-of-use asset equal to the lease liability adjusted for items such as deferred or prepaid rent, lease incentives, and any impairment of the
right-of-use asset. The discount rate used in determining the lease liability is based upon incremental borrowing rates that we could obtain for similar loans as of the date of commencement or renewal. We do not record leases on the consolidated
balance sheets that are classified as short term (less than one year).
At lease inception, we determine the lease term by considering the minimum lease term and all optional renewal periods that we are reasonably certain to renew. The
lease term is also used to calculate straight-line rent expense. The depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the estimated lease term, including renewals if they are reasonably certain to be renewed. Our leases do not contain
residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments that will impact our ability to pay dividends or cause us to incur additional expenses.
The amortization of the right-of-use asset arising from finance leases is expensed through depreciation and amortization expense and the interest on the related
lease liability is expensed through interest expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
We
continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment emerge, we assess whether we
will recover the carrying value of the asset through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. Based on this assessment, if we do not believe that we will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related
intangible assets, we will record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets . No
impairment charges on assets held for use were recorded for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. However, we recorded an impairment loss of $ 8,121,090
and $ 9,126,461 on our assets held for sale during the year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is discussed in Note 5.
Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Investments
Gains
on sales of rental real estate are not considered sales to customers and will generally be recognized pursuant to the provisions of ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which
applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets or in substance nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business. Generally, our sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset as
defined by ASC 610-20. ASC 610-20 refers to the revenue recognition principles under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers (Topic 606). Under ASC 610-20, if we determine we do not have a controlling financial
interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, we will dispose of the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset
transfers to the buyer.
Reportable Segments
ASC 280, Segment Reporting , establishes standards for reporting financial and descriptive information
about an enterprise’s reportable segments. We have one reportable segment, income-producing real estate properties, which consists of
activities related to investing in real estate. The real estate properties are geographically diversified throughout the United States, and we evaluate operating performance on an overall portfolio level.

Operating Leases:
Our real estate assets are leased to tenants under operating leases that contain varying terms and expirations. The leases may have provisions to extend the lease agreements, options
for early termination after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. We retain substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a
lease, we do not require a security deposit from tenants on our commercial real estate properties, depending upon the terms of the respective leases and the creditworthiness of the tenants. Even when required, security deposits generally are not
significant amounts. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of the security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to tenant leases are included in other accrued
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and were immaterial as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 .

Summarized Financial Statements for Equity Method Investments (Fair Value Option)
Our investments in securities are generally in small and mid-sized companies in a
variety of industries. In accordance with the Rule 8-03(b)(3) of Regulation S-X applicable for smaller reporting companies, we must determine which of our equity method investments measured at fair value under the Fair Value Option are
considered “significant”, if any. Regulation S-X mandates the use of three different tests to determine if any of our investments are considered significant investments: the investment test, the asset test, and the income test. The rule
requires summarized financial statements for any significant equity method investments in an annual and interim report if any of the three tests exceed 20% .
In addition to the SEC rules, ASC 323-10-50-3(c) requires summarized financial statements of our equity method investments, including those reported under the fair value option,
if they are material individually or in aggregate. Our investment in Citrus Park Hotel Holdings, LLC were determined to be significant under the income test as of June 30, 2023. In addition, our equity method investments accounted under the
fair value option were material in the aggregate as of June 30, 2023.
The summarized financial information of Citrus Park Hotel Holdings, LLC and aggregated summarized financial information of all equity method investees as of June 30, 2023 is as

Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiaries
In accordance with SEC Rules 3-09 and 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X, we must determine which of our investments in securities are considered
“significant subsidiaries”, if any. Regulation S-X mandates the use of three different tests to determine if any of our controlled investments are significant subsidiaries: the investment test, the asset test, and the income test. Rule 3-09 of
Regulation S-X requires separate audited financial statements for any unconsolidated majority-owned subsidiary in an annual report if any of the three tests exceed 20%. Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X requires summarized financial information in
an annual report if any of the three tests exceeds 10%.
As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, none of our investments in securities was considered an unconsolidated significant subsidiary under the SEC

The Operating
Partnership’s preferred units are issued with a $ 25 liquidation preference, but because Wiseman agreed to a 4 -year “lock-up” we agreed to a discounted issuance price of $ 22.50 per unit. Thus, the value of the preferred units listed above is $ 22.50 per unit.
As discussed in Note 1, on July 23, 2022, in addition to the general partnership interest, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership interest in First & Main for total purchase price of $ 3,376,322 ,
of which $ 2,711,378 was paid through issuance of 120,505.66 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. On October 1, 2022, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership interest in 1300 Main for total purchase price of $ 6,480,582 ,
all of which was paid in cash. The Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership interests in
Woodland Corporate Center Two on January 3, 2023 for a total purchase price of $ 5,636,966 , of which $ 3,242,557 was paid through the issuance of 144,113.63
Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of 100 % of the limited partnership
interests in Main Street West on February 1, 2023 for a total purchase price of $ 8,277,016 , all of which were paid in cash.

Contingent Consideration
As discussed in our June 30, 2022 consolidated
financial statements, p ursuant to the membership interest purchase agreement, the purchase price paid at closing for the general partnership interests was reduced by 20 % as of the closing date for the property companies that had not received fully executed and in force leases, the annualized scheduled rents of which are equal to or greater than the
target scheduled rent as stated in the membership interest purchase agreement. This 20 % holdback will be paid upon a property company
reaching the stabilization threshold, reduced by stabilization costs, as defined in the membership interest purchase agreement. Management believes that it is probable that the stabilization thresholds will be reached for each of the property
companies that did not meet this threshold at the acquisition date. Hence, the 20 % holdback in the amount of $ 2,715,000 was recorded as a contingent liability as of the acquisition date. During the year ended June 30, 2023, we paid $ 1,154,125 of the total contingent liability. In addition, we reduced the contingent liability by $ 57,875 as of June 30, 2023, due to the actual holdback payment on Westside Professional Center I being lower than the original estimated amount. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, contingent liability amounted to $ 1,503,000 and $ 2,715,000 , respectively .
Debt Guaranty
The Wiseman partnerships have mortgage loans with various banks and the loans are guaranteed by Wiseman and its owner, Doyle Wiseman and his trust. The mortgage loans of 1300
Main, LP, One Harbor Center, LP, Martin Plaza Associates, LP, and Main Street West, LP are also guaranteed by the partnerships’ general partner as the co-guarantor .
On July 1, 2022, subsequent to Operating Partnership’s acquisition of the management companies, Wiseman’s owner, Doyle Wiseman and the Operating
Partnership entered into an indemnity agreement whereby the Operating Partnership will indemnify Doyle Wiseman for any losses suffered by him through the default of a limited partnership on the mortgage secured by the property owned by the limited
partnership. Historically, none of the limited partnerships has had any defaults on any mortgages and Doyle Wiseman has not had to satisfy any mortgage default through a guaranty. Furthermore, each of the limited partnerships is adequately
capitalized, has sufficient cash flow from operations to service the mortgage notes and has not required Doyle Wiseman to provide any subordinated financial support to the limited partnerships. Therefore, we have no t recorded any liability related to the guaranty on the mortgage loans as of June 30, 2023.
Acquisition of Land
The Operating Partnership acquired a parcel of entitled land of approximately 3 acres located at the corner of Business Center Drive and Healthcare Drive in Fairfield, California from Wiseman on May 6, 2022.
As part of the land acquisition, the Operating Partnership acquired all development agreements and rights, civil, design and building plans, right,
benefits and privileges held by Wiseman. The total acquisition price of the land was $ 3,050,000 , of which $ 750,000 was paid through the issuance of 77,882
Class A units of the Operating Partnership.
