Material Changes vs. Prior Period

Interest expense increased by $327,984 (three months) and $1,435,904 (nine months), driven by new mortgage debt and CEO guaranty fees. Building expenses and depreciation/amortization also increased due to the Modiv acquisition.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Going Concern Warning: Management has expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year following the issuance of these financial statements due to recurring losses, projected cash needs, and current liquidity levels. The Company's ability to continue is contingent on successfully executing plans to improve liquidity and profitability.
- Debt Modifications: In August 2024, the Company modified terms for two secured mortgage loans (totaling $11.6 million) that were set to expire in late 2024. Maturities were extended to August 2029 with an interest rate of 6.15%.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Liquidity Position: Verify the sufficiency of the $1.58 million cash balance against upcoming debt maturities and preferred equity redemption obligations, particularly the LC2-NNN Pref, LLC interest due August 2025.
- Dividend Policy: Confirm the status of the suspended dividend and the criteria required for its reinstatement.
- Debt Covenants: Review compliance with Debt Service Coverage Ratios (DSCR) and Loan-to-Value (LTV) covenants, especially given the recent debt modifications and interest rate environment.
- Going Concern Mitigation: Assess the specific management plans outlined to alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
- Asset Disposition: Monitor the status of the Huntsville, AL property classified as "held for sale" and the potential for further impairment losses if the sale is delayed.
