- Confirm the closing of the subsequent sales in Champaign, IL, and El Paso, TX, and the resulting debt paydowns.
- Monitor the utilization of the $100 million credit facility, which had $32 million outstanding at quarter-end.
- Review the lease termination fee income ($1.3 million) as a non-recurring item affecting Q1 comparability.
- Assess the weighted average interest rate on mortgage debt (4.91%) relative to current market rates for refinancing needs.
