The Company seeks to apply the expertise of CIM Group Management, LLC (“CIM Group”) and its affiliates to the acquisition, development and operation of premier multifamily properties and creative office assets that cater to rapidly growing industries such as technology, media and entertainment in vibrant and emerging communities throughout the United States.
The Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), is currently traded on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “CMCT”, and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (the “TASE”) under the ticker symbol “CMCT.”
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For more information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2024.
Interim Financial Information—The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain information and note disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the 2023 Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has controlling interests in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts in that entity, the Company analyzes its investments in real estate in accordance with standards set forth in GAAP to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s judgment with respect to its level of influence or control over an entity and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors, including the form of the Company’s ownership interest, the Company’s voting interest, the size of the Company’s investment (including loans), and the Company’s ability to participate in major policy-making decisions. The Company’s ability to correctly assess its influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in real estate on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has determined that the trust formed for the benefit of the note holders (the “Trust”) for the securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of the Company’s SBA 7(a) loans receivable is considered a VIE. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct activities through its role as servicer and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. In addition, as of June 30, 2024, the Company has determined that its Unconsolidated Joint Ventures (as defined below) are considered VIEs. Applying the consolidation requirements for VIEs, the
CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary based on its lack of power to direct activities and its obligations to absorb losses and right to receive benefits. Therefore, the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures do not qualify for consolidation. The Company accounts for its investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures as equity method investments.
Investments in Real Estate—Investments in real estate are stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Buildings and improvements | | 15 - 40 years |
| Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | | 3 - 5 years |
| Tenant improvements | | Lesser of useful life or lease term |
The fair value of real estate acquired is recorded to acquired tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, land improvements, building and improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of acquired above-market and below-market leases, in-place leases and ground leases, if any, based in each case on their respective relative fair values. Loan premiums, in the case of above-market rate loans, or loan discounts, in the case of below-market rate loans, are recorded based on the fair value of any loans assumed in connection with acquiring the real estate.
Capitalized Project Costs
The Company capitalizes project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest expense, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, or construction of a project, while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Improvements and replacements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Recoverability of Investments in Real Estate—The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Investments in real estate are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If, and when, such events or changes in circumstances are present, the recoverability of assets to be held and used requires significant judgment and estimates and is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets and their eventual disposition. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. The process for evaluating real estate impairment requires management to make significant assumptions related to certain inputs, including rental rates, lease-up period, occupancy, estimated holding periods, capital expenditures, growth rates, market discount rates and terminal capitalization rates. These inputs require a subjective evaluation based on the specific property and market. Changes in the assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of impairment charge, if any, or both. Any asset held for sale is reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. When an asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the asset. The Company did not recognize any impairment of long-lived assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (Note 3).
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities—The Company accounts for its investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures (the “Unconsolidated Joint Ventures”) under the equity method, as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investments. The Unconsolidated Joint Ventures record their assets and liabilities at fair value. As such, the Company records its share of the Unconsolidated Joint Ventures’ unrealized gains or losses as well as its share of the revenues and expenses on a quarterly basis as an adjustment to the carrying value of the investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and such share is recognized within the Company’s income from unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Derivative Financial Instruments—As part of risk management and operational strategies, from time to time, we may enter into derivative contracts with various counterparties. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their estimated fair value. On the date that we enter into a derivative contract, we designate the derivative as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, a foreign currency fair value or cash flow hedge, a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or a trading or non-hedging instrument.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has interest rate caps that are used to manage exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the requirements to be designated as hedging instruments. The change in fair value of the derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges is recorded directly to earnings as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 8 for further disclosures about our derivative financial instruments and hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition—At the inception of a revenue-producing contract, the Company determines if a contract qualifies as a lease and if not, then as a customer contract. Based on this determination, the appropriate treatment in accordance with GAAP is applied to the contract, including its revenue recognition.
Revenue from leasing activities
The Company operates as a lessor of both office and multifamily real estate assets. When the Company enters into a contract or amends an existing contract, the Company evaluates if the contracts meet the definition of a lease using the following criteria:
•One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset;
•The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract; and
•The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract.
The Company determined that the Company’s contracts with its tenants explicitly identify the premises and that any substitution rights to relocate tenants to other premises within the same building stated in the contract are not substantive. Additionally, so long as payments are made timely under such contracts, the Company’s tenants have the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and can direct how and for what purpose the premises are used to conduct their operations. Therefore, the contracts with the Company’s tenants constitute leases.
All leases are classified as operating leases and minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases is recorded as deferred rent. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is 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 considered the owner of the improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as an incentive. Lease incentives paid to tenants are included in other assets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, lease incentives of $3.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, are presented net of accumulated amortization of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Reimbursements from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, and other recoverable costs, are recognized as revenue and are included in rental and other property income in the period the expenses are incurred, with the corresponding expenses included in rental and other property operating expense. Tenant reimbursements are recognized and presented on a gross basis when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service and control that specified good or service before it is transferred to the

tenant. The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components as the pattern of revenue recognition does not differ for the two components, and the non-lease component is not the primary component in the Company’s leases.
In addition to minimum rents, certain leases, including the Company’s parking leases with third-party operators, provide for additional rents based upon varying percentages of tenants’ sales in excess of annual minimums. Percentage rent is recognized once lessees’ specified sales targets have been met.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized rental income as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Rental and other property income | | | | | | | | |
Fixed lease payments (1) | | $ 16,338 | | $ 15,198 | | $ 32,686 | | $ 27,672 |
Variable lease payments (2) | | 2,911 | | 2,854 | | 5,336 | | 5,266 |
| Rental and other property income | | $ 19,249 | | $ 18,052 | | $ 38,022 | | $ 32,938 |
______________________
(1)Fixed lease payments include contractual rents under lease agreements with tenants recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including amortization of acquired above-market leases, below-market leases and lease incentives.
(2)Variable lease payments include expense reimbursements billed to tenants and percentage rent, net of bad debt expense from the Company’s operating leases plus cash payments from tenants deemed not probable of collection.
Collectability of Future Lease Payments
The Company continually reviews whether collection of future lease payments, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants is probable. The determination of whether collectability is probable takes into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of future lease payments is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be not probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of future lease payments is based on the best information available at the time of estimate. The Company does not use a general reserve approach. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had identified certain tenants where collection was no longer considered probable and decreased outstanding receivables by $504,000 and $868,000, respectively, across all operating leases.
Revenue from lending activities
Interest income included in interest and other income is comprised of interest earned on loans and the Company’s short-term investments and the accretion of loan discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned with the accrual of interest suspended when the related loan becomes a Non-Accrual Loan (as defined below).
Revenue from hotel activities
The Company recognizes revenue from hotel activities separate from its leasing activities. At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its contracts with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or bundle of goods or services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or implied by customary business practices. Various performance obligations of hotel revenues can be categorized as follows:
CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
•cancellable and noncancelable room revenues from reservations and
•ancillary services including facility usage and food or beverage.
Cancellable reservations represent a single performance obligation of providing lodging services at the hotel. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these reservations over time as services are rendered to the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with noncancelable reservations at the earlier of (i) the date on which the customer cancels the reservation or (ii) over time as services are rendered to the customer.
Ancillary services include facilities usage and providing food and beverage. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services at a point in time when the good or service is delivered to the customer.
At inception of a contract with a customer for hotel goods and services, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate.
The Company presents hotel revenues net of sales, occupancy, and other taxes.
Below is a reconciliation of the hotel revenue from contracts with customers to the total hotel segment revenue disclosed in Note 17 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Hotel properties | | | | | | | | |
| Hotel income | | $ 11,696 | | $ 11,182 | | $ 22,960 | | $ 22,105 |
| Rental and other property income | | 345 | | 402 | | 835 | | 892 |
| Interest and other income | | 114 | | 84 | | 214 | | 163 |
| Hotel revenues | | $ 12,155 | | $ 11,668 | | $ 24,009 | | $ 23,160 |
Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements
Tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements are related to construction projects in which the Company’s tenants have agreed to fully reimburse the Company for all costs related to construction. These services include architectural, permit expediter and construction services. At inception of the contract with the customer, the contractual price is equivalent to the transaction price as there are no elements of variable consideration to estimate. While these individual services are distinct, in the context of the arrangement with the customer, all of these services are bundled together and represent a single package of construction services requested by the customer. The Company satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenues associated with these services over time as the construction is completed. No such amounts were recognized for tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. As of June 30, 2024, there were no remaining performance obligations associated with tenant recoveries outside of the lease agreements.
Loans Receivable—The Company’s loans receivable are carried at their unamortized principal balance less
unamortized acquisition discounts and premiums, retained loan discounts and reserves for expected credit losses. Acquisition discounts or premiums, origination fees and retained loan discounts are amortized as a component of interest and other income using the effective interest method over the expected life of the respective loans, or on a straight-line basis when it approximates the effective interest method. All loans were originated pursuant to programs sponsored by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program (the “SBA 7(a) Program”).
Pursuant to the SBA 7(a) Program, the Company sells the portion of the loan that is guaranteed by the SBA. Upon sale of the SBA guaranteed portion of the loans, which are accounted for as sales, the unguaranteed portion of the loan retained by the Company is recorded at fair value and a discount is recorded as a reduction in basis of the retained portion of the loan.
CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Unamortized retained loan discounts were $8.0 million and $8.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
A loan receivable is generally classified as non-accrual (a “Non-Accrual Loan”) if (i) it is past due as to payment of principal or interest for a period of 60 days or more, (ii) any portion of the loan is classified as doubtful or is charged-off or (iii) the repayment in full of the principal and/or interest is in doubt. Generally, loans are charged-off when management determines that the Company will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement, either through liquidation of collateral or other means. Interest income, included in interest and other income, on a Non-Accrual Loan is recognized on the cost recovery basis.
Current Expected Credit Losses—On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and subsequent amendments (“ASU 2016-13”). The current expected credit losses (“CECL”) required under ASU 2016-13 reflects the Company’s current estimate of potential credit losses related to the Company’s loans receivable included in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial expected credit losses recorded on January 1, 2023 is reflected as a direct charge to distributions in excess of earnings on the Company’s consolidated statements of equity; however, subsequent changes to CECL are recognized through net income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. While ASU 2016-13 does not require any particular method for determining CECL, it does specify the allowance should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts for the duration of each respective loan. In addition, other than a few narrow exceptions, ASU 2016-13 requires that all financial instruments subject to the credit loss model have some amount of loss reserve to reflect the GAAP principal underlying the credit loss model that all loans, debt securities, and similar assets have some inherent risk of loss, regardless of credit quality, subordinate capital, or other mitigating factors.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company recorded a cumulative-effective adjustment to the opening distributions in excess of earnings in its consolidated statement of equity as of January 1, 2023 of $619,000. This represents a total CECL reserve transition adjustment of approximately $783,000, net of a $164,000 deferred tax asset. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a total CECL of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
The Company estimates CECL for its loans primarily using its historical experience with loan write-offs, historical charge-offs from third-party firms, and the weighted average remaining maturity method, which has been identified as an acceptable method for estimating CECL reserves in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Q&A Topic 326, No. 1. This method requires the Company to reference historical loan loss data across a comparable data set and apply such loss rate to each loan investment over its expected remaining term, taking into consideration expected economic conditions over the relevant timeframe. The Company considers loans that are both (i) expected to be substantially repaid through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and (ii) for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, to be “collateral-dependent” loans. For loans that the Company determines that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company measures the expected losses based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For collateral-dependent loans with respect to which the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, the Company applies a practical expedient to estimate expected losses using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. The Company may use other acceptable alternative approaches in the future depending on, among other factors, the type of loan, underlying collateral and availability of relevant historical market loan loss data.
Quarterly, the Company evaluates the risk of all loans receivable and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, which are grouped as follows: (i) loan and credit structure, including the as-is loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio and structural features; (ii) quality and stability of real estate value and operating cash flow, including debt yield, dynamics of the geography, local market, physical condition and stability of cash flow; and (iii) quality, experience and financial condition of the borrower.

June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans receivable are rated “1” through “5,” from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:
1-Acceptable — These are assets of high quality;
2-Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”) — These are assets that are generally profitable but exhibit potential weakness or weaknesses, including, but not limited to, no significant pay history as detailed below for loans originated generally within the last year. Such weaknesses could result in deterioration if not corrected;
3-Substandard — These assets generally have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses which could hinder collection efforts;
4-Doubtful — These assets have weakness or weaknesses similar to substandard loans; however, the weakness or weaknesses are so extreme that significant loss potential exists in all cases and
5-Loss — Assets assigned this classification have no value and thus have been or are in the process of being charged off.
The Company generally assigns a risk rating of “2” to all newly originated loans (generally within one year of origination) due to lack of management experience and/or lack of adequate historical debt coverage at the origination date. These loans likely will be classified to acceptable within two years of origination.
Deferred Rent Receivable and Charges—Deferred rent receivable and charges consist of deferred rent, deferred leasing costs, deferred offering costs (Note 11) deferred financing costs and other deferred costs. Deferred leasing costs, which represent lease commissions and other direct costs associated with the acquisition of tenants, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Deferred offering costs represent direct costs incurred in connection with the Company’s offerings of Series A1 Preferred Stock (as defined below), Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below), and, after January 2020, Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below) and Series D Preferred Stock (as defined below), excluding costs specifically identifiable to a closing, such as commissions, dealer-manager fees, and other offering fees and expenses. Generally, for a specific issuance of securities, issuance-specific offering costs are recorded as a reduction of proceeds raised on the issuance date and offering costs incurred but not directly related to a specifically identifiable closing of a security are deferred. Deferred offering costs are first allocated to each issuance of a security on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of the number of securities issued in a given issuance to the maximum number of securities that are expected to be issued in the related offering. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued in June 2024 and thereafter, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, beginning in June 2024 and thereafter, deferred offering costs allocated to each issuance are recorded as reductions to temporary equity and will subsequently be reclassified to permanent equity on the first anniversary of each issuance. In the case of the Series A Preferred Stock issued prior to February 2020, the issuance-specific offering costs and the deferred offering costs allocated to such issuance were further allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants issued in such issuance based on the relative fair value of the instruments on the date of issuance. The deferred offering costs allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants were reductions to temporary equity and permanent equity, respectively, with the deferred offering costs allocated to Series A Preferred Stock being reclassified from temporary equity to permanent equity on the first anniversary of each issuance. Deferred financing costs related to the securing of a revolving line of credit are presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. As such, the Company’s current and corresponding prior period total deferred costs, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets relate only to the revolving loan portion of the credit facilities.

Redeemable Preferred Stock—Beginning on the date of original issuance of any given shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A1 Preferred Stock”), with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value”), Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value”), or Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”), with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value”), the holder of such shares has the right to require the Company to redeem such shares, subject to certain limitations as discussed in Note 11. The Company records the activity related to the Series A1 Preferred Stock (for issuances prior to June 2024), Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants and Series D Preferred Stock in permanent equity. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued in June 2024 and thereafter, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash. As a result, beginning in June 2024 and thereafter, the Company records issuances of Series A1 Preferred Stock in temporary equity. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued in June 2024 and thereafter, on the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of a particular share of Series A1 Preferred Stock the Company reclassifies such share of Series A1 Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity as the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date.
Non-controlling Interests—Non-controlling interests represent the interests in various properties owned by third parties.
Restricted Cash—The Company’s mortgage loan and hotel management agreements provide for depositing cash into restricted accounts reserved for capital expenditures, free rent, tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations. Restricted cash also includes cash required to be segregated in connection with certain of the Company’s loans receivable and with its SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases such estimates on historical experience, information available at the time, and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances at such time. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-05, Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide users of joint venture financial statements with more decision-useful information. The amendments are effective prospectively for all joint venture

Fixed Rate Mortgage Payable—The Company’s fixed rate mortgages payable are secured by a deed of trust on the properties underlying such mortgages and assignments of rents receivable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s fixed rate mortgages payable had fixed interest rates of 4.14% and 6.25% per annum, respectively, with payments of interest only due on July 1, 2026 and June 7, 2025, respectively. In regards to the mortgage payable maturing on June 7, 2025, the Company has a one-year extension option at its discretion. These loans are non-recourse.
Variable Rate Mortgages Payable—The Company’s variable rate mortgage payable is secured by a deed of trust on the property and assignment of rents receivable. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s variable rate mortgage payable had a variable interest rate of SOFR plus 3.36%, with monthly payments of interest only due on July 7, 2025 with an extension option subject to certain conditions being met. The loan is non-recourse.
The Company has been in discussions with the lender under the variable rate mortgage to restructure the terms of the mortgage, as rent payments from the property will likely be insufficient to meet debt service payments under the mortgage. There can be no assurance that such restructuring will occur. If the Company and the lender under the variable rate mortgage cannot agree on a modification of the mortgage and the Company fails to make a required monthly debt service payment, such failure will constitute an event of default under the mortgage and the lender may, among other remedies, declare principal and

interest under the mortgage loan to be immediately due and payable. The mortgage relates to Channel House, a multifamily property in Oakland, California.
Secured Borrowings—Government Guaranteed Loans—Secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans represent sold loans which are treated as secured borrowings because the loan sales did not meet the derecognition criteria provided for in ASC 860-30, Secured Borrowing and Collateral. These loans included cash premiums that are amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and are fully amortized when the underlying loan is repaid in full. As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s secured borrowings-government guaranteed loans included $890,000 of loans sold for a premium and excess spread, with a variable rate, reset quarterly, based on prime rate with weighted average coupon rate of 9.29% at June 30, 2024, and $1.5 million of loans sold for an excess spread, with a variable rate, reset quarterly, based on prime rate with weighted average coupon rate of 6.87% at June 30, 2024.
2022 Credit Facility—In December 2022, the Company refinanced its 2018 credit facility and replaced it with a new 2022 credit facility, entered into with a bank syndicate, that includes a $56.2 million term loan (the “2022 Credit Facility Term Loan”) as well as a revolver allowing the Company to borrow up to $150.0 million (the “2022 Credit Facility Revolver”), both of which are collectively subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2022 Credit Facility is secured by certain properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio: six office properties and one hotel property (as well as the hotel’s adjacent parking garage and retail property). The 2022 Credit Facility bears interest at (A) the base rate plus 1.50% or (B) SOFR plus 2.60%. As of June 30, 2024, the variable interest rate was 7.93%. The 2022 Credit Facility Revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2022 Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants. The 2022 Credit Facility matures in December 2025 and provides for two one-year extension options under certain conditions, including providing notice of the election and paying an extension fee of 0.15% of each lender’s commitment being extended on the effective date of such extension. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $0 and $53.0 million, respectively, was available for future borrowings.
As of each of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant under the 2022 credit facility. Such non-compliance constituted an event of default under the 2022 credit facility. On May 14, 2024, lenders under the 2022 credit facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending March 31, 2024. On August 7, 2024, lenders under the 2022 credit facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Second Modification Agreement, the Company will not be able to borrow under the 2022 credit facility without the consent of the lenders until certain conditions are satisfied, including delivery of a revised business plan acceptable to the lenders and re-establishing compliance with the financial covenant. There can be no assurance as to when or if such conditions will be satisfied. The Company believes that it could rely on other sources for its liquidity needs, including, among other things, (i) obtaining new or modifying existing credit facilities and term loans; (ii) offerings of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity and or debt securities of the Company; (iii) the addition of senior recourse or non-recourse debt using existing assets as collateral; (iv) the sale of existing assets; (v) partnering with co-investors; and or (vi) cash flows from operations. Among other restrictions, the Second Modification Agreement also prohibits subsidiaries of the Company that own properties that secured the 2022 credit facility from making any distributions to its parent entities. The Second Modification Agreement did not waive compliance with the financial covenant for the test period ending September 30, 2024 or any future period. Simultaneously with the execution of the Second Modification Agreement, the Company repaid $4.0 million of principal under the 2022 credit facility.
While the Company has been in discussions with the administrative agent of the 2022 credit facility to come to a satisfactory solution to the Company’s non-compliance with a financial covenant, there can be no assurance that such resolution will be achieved. If the Company is unsuccessful in coming to a resolution with the administrative agent of the 2022 credit facility, and is not able to re-establish compliance with the financial covenant for the test period ending September 30, 2024 or any future period, lenders thereunder may, among other remedies, declare their commitment thereunder to be terminated and/or declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, to be immediately due and

payable, and foreclose on or take other secured creditor remedies with respect to the properties that secure the 2022 credit facility.
Junior Subordinated Notes—The Company has junior subordinated notes with a variable interest rate which resets quarterly based on the three-month SOFR plus 3.51%, with quarterly interest only payments. The junior subordinated balance is due at maturity on March 30, 2035. The junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at the Company’s option.
SBA 7(a) Loan-Backed Notes—On March 9, 2023, the Company completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of its SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $54.1 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes (with net proceeds of approximately $43.3 million, after payment of fees and expenses in connection with the securitization and the funding of a reserve account and an escrow account). The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes mature on March 20, 2048, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) 30-day average compounded SOFR plus 2.90% and (ii) prime rate minus 0.35%. As of June 30, 2024, the variable interest rate was 8.15%. The Company reflects the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on its consolidated balance sheet and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on its consolidated balance sheet. The restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included funds related to the Company’s SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes was $3.7 million as of June 30, 2024.
Other—Deferred debt issuance costs, which represent legal and third-party fees incurred in connection with the Company’s borrowing activities, are capitalized and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line or effective interest method over the life of the related loan. Deferred debt issuance costs are presented net of accumulated amortization and are a reduction to total debt.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued interest and unused commitment fees payable of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Future principal payments on the Company’s debt (face value) as of June 30, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may use certain types of derivative instruments for the purpose of managing or hedging its interest rate risk. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements in connection with the assumption of two mortgage loans. In December 2023, the Company terminated one of its interest rate cap agreements.
The following table summarizes the terms of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement as of June 30, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Outstanding Notional | | | | | | | | Fair Value of Assets as of |
| Balance Sheet | | Amount as of | | Strike | | Effective | | Maturity | | June 30, |

| Interest Rate Caps | Other assets | | $ 87,000 | |
4.5% | | 5/03/2023 | | 7/07/2025 | | $ 472 |
____________________________________
(1)The index used for the Company’s interest rate cap agreements is 1-Month Term SOFR.
Additional disclosures related to the fair value of the Company’s derivative instrument is included in Note 13. The notional amount under the derivative instrument is an indication of the extent of the Company’s involvement in the instrument, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rate or market risks.
Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. The Company has an interest rate cap that is used to manage exposure to interest rate movements but does not meet the requirements to be designated as a hedging instrument. The change in fair value of the derivative instrument that is not designated as a hedge is recorded directly to earnings as interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $73,000 and $18,000, respectively, which was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to its interest rate cap. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $614,445 and $275,112, respectively, which was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations related to its interest rate caps.
9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
On April 3, 2015, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) unanimously approved the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s stockholders. On June 27, 2023, the Equity Incentive Plan was amended by the Board of Directors, and subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders, to authorize additional shares of Common Stock for issuance as compensation. The Company has granted awards of restricted shares of Common Stock to each of the independent members of the Board of Directors under the Equity Incentive Plan as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Grant Date (1) | | Vesting Date | | Restricted Shares of Common Stock - Individual | | Restricted Shares of Common Stock - Aggregate |
| June 2022 | | June 2023 | | 7,746 | | 30,984 |
| August 2023 | | August 2024 | | 12,222 | | 48,888 |
______________________
(1)Compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock is recognized over the vesting period, and generally vests based on one year of continuous service. The Company recorded compensation expense related to these restricted shares of Common Stock in the amount of $55,000 and $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $110,000 and $92,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
As of June 30, 2024, there was $18,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of Common Stock which will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")
The computation of basic EPS are based on the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding. No shares of Series D Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, or Series A1 Preferred Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024 or 2023 were included in the computation of diluted EPS because they had no dilutive effect. Outstanding Series A Preferred Warrants were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 because their impact was either anti-dilutive or such warrants were not exercisable during such periods (Note 12).
EPS for the year-to-date period may differ from the sum of quarterly EPS amounts due to the required method for computing EPS in the respective periods. In addition, EPS is calculated independently for each component and may not be additive due to rounding.
The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator used in computing the Company’s basic and diluted per-share amounts for net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Series A1 Preferred Stock—Since June 2022, the Company has been conducting a public offering with respect to shares of its Series A1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share with an initial stated value of $25.00 per share, subject to adjustment.
Shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued from June 2022 through May 2024 were recorded in permanent equity at the time of their issuance. With respect to Series A1 Preferred Stock, for shares issued in June 2024 and thereafter, in the event a holder of Series A1 Preferred Stock requests redemption of such shares and such redemption takes place prior to the first anniversary of the date of original issuance, the Company is required to pay such redemption in cash, As a result, net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock in June 2024 and thereafter are initially recorded in temporary equity at an amount equal to the gross proceeds allocated to such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock minus the costs specifically identifiable to the issuance of such shares and the non-issuance specific offering costs allocated to such shares. With respect to shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock issued in June 2024 and thereafter, on the first anniversary of the issuance of a particular share of such Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Company will reclassify such shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity as the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had made no such reclassification from temporary equity to permanent equity.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had issued in registered public offerings 11,492,002 shares of the Series A1 Preferred Stock and received gross proceeds of $284.6 million, and additionally had issued 200,000 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock as payment for services to the CIM Service Provider, LLC (the “Administrator”), for which no cash proceeds were received. In connection with the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, $21.0 million of costs specifically identifiable to the offering of Series A1 Preferred Stock was allocated to the Series A1 Preferred Stock. Such costs include commissions, dealer manager fees and other offering fees and expenses but do not include non-issuance-specific costs of $11.6 million related to the Company’s offering of Series A Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Warrants, Series A1 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had reclassified and allocated $4.5 million from deferred

charges to Series A1 Preferred Stock as a reduction to the gross proceeds received. Such reclassification was based on the cumulative number of securities issued relative to the maximum number of securities expected to be issued under the offering.
If the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock are less than the redemption value of such shares at the time they were issued, or if the redemption value of such shares subsequently becomes greater than the carrying value of such shares, an adjustment is recorded to increase the carrying amount of such shares to their redemption value as of the balance sheet date. Such adjustment is considered a deemed dividend for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS. The Company recorded redeemable preferred stock deemed dividends related to such adjustments of $428,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and recorded no deemed dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Proceeds and expenses from the sale were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance.
From February 2020 through June 2022, the Company conducted a continuous public offering with respect to shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which, since February 2020, was no longer being issued as a unit with an accompanying Series A Preferred Warrant.

In connection with the cumulative issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants, $17.0 million and $142,000 of costs specifically identifiable to the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants, respectively, were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had reclassified and allocated $1.9 million and $5,000 from deferred charges to Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants, respectively, as a reduction to the gross proceeds received. Such reclassification was based on the cumulative number of securities issued relative to the maximum number of securities expected to be issued under the offering.
On the first anniversary of the issuance of a particular share of Series A Preferred Stock, the Company reclassifies such share of Series A Preferred Stock from temporary equity to permanent equity as the feature giving rise to temporary equity classification, the requirement to satisfy redemption requests in cash, lapses on the first anniversary date. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had reclassified an aggregate of $199.6 million in net proceeds from temporary equity to permanent equity.

The total cost to complete the Series L Redemption, including transaction costs of $93,000 (or $0.03 per share), was $83.8 million.
Dividends—With respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the Series A1 Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock rank on parity with respect to each other and senior to the Common Stock.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.50% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.34375 per share per quarter) (the “Series A Dividend”). Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and declared by the Company out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series D Preferred Stock at an annual rate of 5.65% of the Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.35313 per share per quarter) (the “Series D Dividend”).

12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Dividends
Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if, as and when authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Company out of legally available funds. In determining the Company’s dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including the amount of cash resources available for dividend distributions, capital spending plans, cash flow, the Company’s financial position, applicable requirements of the MGCL, any applicable contractual restrictions, and future growth in NAV and cash flow per share prospects. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis does not necessarily correlate directly to any individual factor. Cash dividends per share of Common Stock paid in respect of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consist of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Declaration Date | | Payment Date | | Type | | Cash Dividend Per Share of Common Stock |
| June 25, 2024 | | July 22, 2024 | | Regular Quarterly | | $ 0.085 |
| March 27, 2024 | | April 8, 2024 | | Regular Quarterly | | $ 0.085 |
| | | | | | |
| June 27, 2023 | | July 24, 2023 | | Regular Quarterly | | $ 0.085 |
| March 20, 2023 | | April 11, 2023 | | Regular Quarterly | | $ 0.085 |
Series A Preferred Warrants
Prior to February 2020, the Series A Preferred Stock was sold as a unit that included one share of Series A Preferred Stock and one Series A Preferred Warrant that could be exercised to purchase 0.25 of a share of Common Stock. The Series A Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the date of their original issuance until and including the fifth anniversary of the date of such issuance. At the time of issuance, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant was at a 15.0% premium to the per share estimated NAV of the Company’s Common Stock then most recently published and designated as the applicable NAV. However, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Warrants, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split was automatically adjusted to reflect the effect

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
of the Reverse Stock Split and, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the Special Dividend was adjusted to reflect the effect of the Special Dividend.
Proceeds and expenses from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants using their relative fair values on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 988,794 Series A Preferred Warrants outstanding to purchase 250,777 shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company’s offering of Series A Preferred Units and allocated net proceeds of $370,000, after specifically identifiable offering costs and allocated general offering costs, to the Series A Preferred Warrants in permanent equity.
Share Repurchase Program
In May 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock (the “SRP”). Under the SRP, the Company, in its discretion, may purchase shares of its Common Stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of purchases of shares will depend on a number of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of shares, trading volume, general market conditions and compliance with applicable securities law. The SRP has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
There were no repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased 662,462 shares of Common Stock for $4.7 million.
13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company determines the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Management’s estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is based on a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy established for disclosure of how a company values its financial instruments. In general, quoted market prices from active markets for the identical financial instrument (Level 1 inputs), if available, should be used to value a financial instrument. If quoted prices are not available for the identical financial instrument, then a determination should be made if Level 2 inputs are available. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not active (i.e., markets in which there are few transactions for the financial instruments, the prices are not current, price quotations vary substantially, or in which little information is released publicly). There is limited reliable market information for the Company’s financial instruments and the Company utilizes other methodologies based on unobservable inputs for valuation purposes since there are no Level 1 or Level 2 inputs available. Accordingly, Level 3 inputs are used to measure fair value.
In general, estimates of fair value may differ from the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities primarily as a result of the effects of discounting future cash flows. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data and develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are made at a point in time and may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 (Unaudited) – (Continued)
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities.
Debt—The carrying amounts of the Company’s secured borrowings - government guaranteed loans, SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes, 2022 Credit Facility and variable rate mortgage payable approximate their fair values, as the interest rates on these securities are variable and approximate current market interest rates. The Company determines the fair value of fixed rate mortgage notes payable and junior subordinated notes by discounting the expected cash flows based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of the measurement date. Current and prior period liabilities’ carrying and fair values exclude net deferred financing costs.
Loans Receivable—The Company determines the fair value of loans receivable by performing a present value analysis for the anticipated future cash flows using an appropriate market discount rate taking into consideration the credit risk and using an anticipated prepayment rate. The value of the government guaranteed portions of loans held for sale is based primarily on the anticipated proceeds to be received upon sale. The following summarizes the ranges of discount rates and prepayment rates used to arrive at the estimated fair values of the Company’s loans receivable:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| Discount Rate | | Prepayment Rate | | Discount Rate | | Prepayment Rate |
| SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to credit risk | 7.83% - 11.00% | | 4.88% - 17.50% | | 7.83% - 11.00% | | 4.88% - 17.50% |
| SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to loan-backed notes | 10.00% - 11.00% | | 4.88% - 17.50% | | 10.00% - 11.00% | | 4.88% - 17.50% |
| SBA 7(a) loans receivable, subject to secured borrowings | 10.00% - 10.50% | | 5.00% - 17.50% | | 10.00% - 10.50% | | 5.00% - 17.50% |
Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative instruments are comprised of interest rate caps. All derivative instruments are carried at fair value and are valued using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of these instruments is determined using interest rate market pricing models. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the fair values to account for the Company’s potential nonperformance risk and the performance risk of the respective counterparties.
Other Financial Instruments—The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, Level 1 inputs are utilized to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments.
The estimated fair values of those financial instruments which are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | | |

The Fee Waiver is effective retroactively to January 1, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). Pursuant to the Fee Waiver, the Administrator agreed to voluntarily waive any fees in excess of those set forth in the Fee Waiver, to the extent it would otherwise have been entitled to such additional compensation under the Master Service Agreement, and the Operator agreed to voluntarily waive any fees in excess of those set forth in the Fee Waiver, to the extent it would otherwise have been entitled to such additional compensation under the Investment Management Agreement. Following the end of each quarter, the Administrator will deliver to the Company (i) a calculation of the cumulative fees earned by the Operator and the Administrator under the methodology prescribed by the Fee Waiver from the Effective Date through the end of such quarter and (ii) a calculation of the cumulative fees that would have been earned by the Operator and the Administrator during such period under the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement without giving effect to the Fee Waiver. If, in respect of any quarter, the aggregate fees that are payable under the methodology prescribed by the Fee Waiver exceed the aggregate fees that would have been payable under the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver, such quarter will be deemed an “Excess Quarter”. For any quarter following an Excess Quarter, the Company (upon the direction of the independent members of the Board) may, at its option and upon written notice to Administrator, elect to calculate all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator in accordance with the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver, from and after such Excess Quarter. Any such election by the Company will be irrevocable, and all fees due to the Administrator and the Operator from and after such election will be calculated in accordance with the Master Services Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement, without giving effect to the Fee Waiver.
The fees payable to the Operator and the Administrator are determined as follows under the Fee Waiver.
1.Base Fee: A base asset management fee (the “Base Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Operator in an amount equal to an annual rate of 1% (or 0.25% per quarter) of the average of the “Net Asset Value Attributable to Common Stockholders” as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter. Net Asset Value Attributable to Common stockholders is defined as (a) the sum of the Company’s (1) investments in real estate at fair value, (2) cash, (3) loans receivable at fair value and (4) the book value of the other assets of the Company, excluding deferred costs and net of other liabilities at book value, less (b) the Company’s (i) debt at face value, (ii) outstanding preferred stock at stated value, and (iii) non-controlling interests at book value; provided, that, non-controlling interests in any UPREIT operating partnership relating to the Company shall not be excluded.

2.Incentive Fee: An incentive fee (the “Revised Incentive Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator with respect to the quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75% (i.e., 7.00% on an annualized basis) of the Company’s “Adjusted Common Equity” (as defined below) for such quarter (“Excess Core FFO”) as follows: (i) no Revised Incentive Fee in any quarter in which the Excess Core FFO is $0; (ii) 100% of any Excess Core FFO up to an amount equal to the product of (x) the average of the Adjusted Common Equity as of the first and last day of the applicable quarter and (y) 0.4375%; and (iii) 20% of any Excess Core FFO thereafter. Revised Incentive Fees payable for any partial quarter will be appropriately prorated.
“Adjusted Common Equity” means Common Equity plus Excluded Depreciation and Amortization. “Common Equity” means Total Stockholders’ Equity minus Excluded Equity. “Total Stockholders’ Equity” means the amount reflected as total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Equity” means the sum of all preferred securities of the Company and its subsidiaries classified as permanent equity in accordance with GAAP on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the last day of a given quarter. “Excluded Depreciation and Amortization” means, for a given quarter, the amount of all accumulated depreciation and amortization of (i) the Company and its subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent allocable to the Company and its subsidiaries, the unconsolidated affiliates, in each case as of the last day of such quarter that corresponds to the periodic depreciation and amortization expense calculated in each case in accordance with GAAP that is a permitted add back to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP when calculating funds from operations.
3.Capital Gains Fee: A capital gains fee (the “Capital Gains Fee”) is payable quarterly in arrears to the Administrator in an amount equal to (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses (in each case since the Effective Date), minus (ii) the aggregate capital gains fees paid since the Effective Date. Realized capital gains and realized capital losses are calculated by subtracting from the sales price of a property: (a) any costs incurred to sell such property, and (b) the current gross value of the property (meaning the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements thereon paid for by the Company).
Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the asset management fee prior to January 1, 2022 fee was calculated (without giving effect to the Fee Waiver) as a percentage of the daily average adjusted fair value of CIM Urban’s assets as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Daily Average Adjusted Fair Value of CIM Urban’s Assets | | |
Quarterly Fee Percentage |
| From Greater of | | To and Including | |
| $ | — | | | $ | 500,000 | | | 0.2500% |
| $ | 500,000 | | | $ | 1,000,000 | | | 0.2375% |
| $ | 1,000,000 | | | $ | 1,500,000 | | | 0.2250% |
| $ | 1,500,000 | | | $ | 4,000,000 | | | 0.2125% |
| $ | 4,000,000 | | | $ | 20,000,000 | | | 0.1000% |
Asset management fees are included in asset management and other fees to related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Under the Master Services Agreement, for fiscal quarters prior to April 1, 2020, the Company paid a base service fee (the “Base Service Fee”) to the Administrator initially set at $1.0 million per year (subject to an annual escalation by a specified inflation factor beginning on January 1, 2015), payable quarterly in arrears. On May 11, 2020, the Master Services Agreement was amended to replace the Base Service Fee with an incentive fee pursuant to which the Administrator was entitled to receive, on a quarterly basis, 15.00% of the Company’s quarterly core funds from operations in excess of a quarterly threshold equal to 1.75% (i.e., 7.00% on an annualized basis) of the Company’s average Adjusted Common Equity (defined above) for such

quarter. The amendment was effective as of April 1, 2020 and was further modified by the Fee Waiver described above. No such incentive fee was paid by the Company.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Master Services Agreement, the Administrator may receive compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for the Company and its subsidiaries that are not covered by the Base Fee. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, such services performed by the Administrator and its affiliates included accounting, tax, reporting, internal audit, legal, compliance, risk management, IT, human resources, corporate communications, operational and on-going support in connection with the Company’s offering of Preferred Stock. The Company will also reimburse the Administrator for the Company’s share of broken deal expenses that are incurred by the Administrator and its affiliates (i.e., fees and expenses relating to investments that were contemplated but the Company did not make and/or transactions that could have been executed by the Company but that the Company did not consummate, including fees and expenses associated with performing due diligence review and negotiating the terms of such investments or transactions). The Administrator’s compensation is based on the salaries and benefits of the employees of the Administrator and/or its affiliates who performed these services (allocated based on the percentage of time spent on the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries). The expense for such services is included in expense reimbursements to related parties—corporate in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Property Management Fees and Reimbursements—CIM Management, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “CIM Management Entities”), all affiliates of CIM Group, provide property management, leasing, and development services to properties owned by the Company. Property management fees earned by the CIM Management entities and onsite management costs incurred are included in rental and other property operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of certain onsite management costs which are capitalized in some cases. Leasing commissions earned are capitalized to deferred charges on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Construction management fees and development management reimbursements are capitalized to investments in real estate on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Lending Segment Expenses—The Company has a Staffing and Reimbursement Agreement with CIM SBA Staffing, LLC (“CIM SBA”), an affiliate of CIM Group, and the Company’s subsidiary, PMC Commercial Lending, LLC. The agreement provides that CIM SBA will provide personnel and resources to the Company and that the Company will reimburse CIM SBA for the costs and expenses of providing such personnel and resources. The expense for such services is included in expense reimbursements to related parties—lending segment in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Offering-Related Fees—CCO Capital, LLC (“CCO Capital”) became the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s public offering of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants effective as of May 31, 2019. CCO Capital is a registered broker dealer and is under common control with the Operator and the Administrator. The Company’s offering of the Series A Preferred Warrants ended at the end of January 2020. On January 28, 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, pursuant to which CCO Capital acted as the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s public offering of its Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. The Second Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement was subsequently amended by the Company and CCO Capital to address changes to, among other things, selling commissions and dealer manager fees.
On November 22, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, pursuant to which CCO Capital has been acting as the exclusive dealer manager for the Company’s public offering of its Series A1 Preferred Stock. Thereunder, the Company agreed to compensate CCO Capital, as the dealer manager for the offering, as follows: (1) a dealer manager fee of up to 3.00% of the selling price of each share of Series A1 Preferred Stock sold and (2) selling commissions of up to 7.00% of the selling price of each share of Series A1 Preferred Stock sold. The Company has been informed that CCO Capital generally reallows 100% of the selling commissions on sales of Series A1 Preferred Stock and generally reallows substantially all of the dealer manager fee on sales of Series A1 Preferred Stock, to participating broker-dealers. In addition, pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement, CCO Capital will no longer solicit or make any offers for the sale of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company acquired an interest in four assets from entities indirectly wholly-owned by a fund that is managed by affiliates of CIM Group for $282.9 million (exclusive of transactions costs). See Note 3 and Note 7 for more information.
Other
On May 15, 2019, an affiliate of CIM Group entered into an approximately 11-year lease for approximately 32,000 rentable square feet with respect to a property owned by the Company (4750 Wilshire). The lease was amended on August 7, 2019 to reduce the rentable square feet to approximately 30,000 rentable square feet. In February 2023, the Company sold an 80% interest in 4750 Wilshire and now holds its retained 20% interest in the property through the 4750 Wilshire JV. Prior to the sale, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded rental and other property income related to this tenant of $194,000.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Loan Commitments—Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer when the terms established in the contract are met. The Company’s outstanding commitments to fund loans were $19.6 million as of June 30, 2024, all of which are for prime-based loans to be originated by the Company’s subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program lending, the government guaranteed portion of which is intended to be sold. Commitments generally have fixed
CREATIVE MEDIA & COMMUNITY TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

expiration dates. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
General—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company has certain obligations for the payment of tenant improvement allowances and lease commissions in connection with new leases and renewals. The Company had a total of $6.3 million in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, $2.5 million was funded to reserve accounts included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for these tenant improvement obligations in connection with the mortgage loan agreement entered into in June 2016.
Employment Agreements—The Company has an employment agreement with one of its officers. Under certain circumstances, this employment agreement provides for (1) severance payment equal to the annual base salary paid to the officer and (2) death and disability payments in an amount equal to two times and one time, respectively, the annual base salary paid to the officer.
Litigation—The Company is not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceedings nor, to the Company’s knowledge, are any material legal proceedings currently threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, the Company is periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to the Company’s business. While the outcome of these legal actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock
A subsidiary of the Company is a defendant in a lawsuit in connection with injuries sustained by a third-party contractor at a property previously owned by such subsidiary. Such subsidiary has reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit with the plaintiff pursuant to which such subsidiary’s share of the settlement payment will be approximately $700,000. The Company anticipates that such payment will be made directly from the Company’s insurance carrier, which will be responsible for the entire payment. Accordingly, the Company does not expect this lawsuit to have any adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain the level of distributions on the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
SBA Related—If the SBA establishes that a loss on an SBA guaranteed loan is attributable to significant technical deficiencies in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded or serviced under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program, the SBA may seek recovery of the principal loss related to the deficiency from the Company. As of June 30, 2024, the Company serviced an aggregate of $225.6 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) loans. With respect to the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that have been sold, the SBA will first honor its guarantee and then seek compensation from the Company in the event that a loss is deemed to be attributable to technical deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the Company does not expect that this contingency is probable to be asserted. However, if asserted, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate properties, the Company may be potentially liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters, including asbestos-containing materials. The Company has not been notified by any governmental authority of any noncompliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties, and the Company is not aware of any other environmental condition with respect to any of the properties that management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or the Company’s ability to satisfy its debt service obligations or to maintain its level of distributions on Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to future growth of our business and availability of funds. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “expect,” “intend,” “might,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” “pursue,” “potential,” “forecast,” “seek,” “plan,” “should” or “goal” or the negative thereof or other variations or similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements also include, among others, statements about our plans and objectives relating to future growth and outlook. Such forward-looking statements are based on particular assumptions that our management has made in light of its experience, as well as its perception of expected future developments and other factors that it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of our management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include those associated with (i) the timing, form, and operational effects of our development activities, (ii) our ability to raise in place rents to existing market rents and to maintain or increase occupancy levels, (iii) fluctuations in market rents, (iv) the effects of inflation and continuing higher interest rates on our operations and profitability and (v) general economic, market and other conditions. Additional important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are discussed in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations and there can be no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements expressed or implied herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update them to reflect changes that occur after the date they are made, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
The following discussion of our financial condition as of June 30, 2024 and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with the 2023 Form 10-K. For a more detailed description of the risks affecting our financial condition and results of operations, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed to those terms in “Part I — Financial Information” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained therein. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Definitions
We use certain defined terms throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have the following meanings:
The phrase “ADR” represents average daily rate. It is calculated as trailing six-month room revenue divided by the number of rooms occupied. For sold properties, ADR is presented for the Company’s period of ownership only.
The phrase “annualized rent” represents gross monthly base rent, or gross monthly contractual rent under parking and retail leases, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.
The phrase “net annualized rent” represents gross monthly base rent, or gross monthly contractual rent under parking and retail leases, net of total rent abatements granted in the applicable month, multiplied by 12. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.
The phrase “RevPAR” represents revenue per available room. It is calculated as trailing six-month room revenue divided by the number of available rooms. For sold properties, RevPAR is presented for the Company’s period of ownership only.
Executive Summary
Business Overview
Creative Media & Community Trust Corporation is a Maryland corporation and REIT. We primarily acquire, develop, own and operate both premier multifamily properties situated in vibrant communities throughout the United States and Class A and creative office real assets in markets with similar business and employment characteristics to our multifamily investments. We seek to apply the expertise of CIM Group to the acquisition, development and operation of premier multifamily properties and creative office assets that cater to rapidly growing industries such as technology, media and entertainment. All of our real estate assets are and will generally be located in communities qualified by CIM Group as described further below. These communities are located in areas that include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, which have high barriers to entry, high population density, positive population trends and a propensity for growth. We believe that the critical mass of redevelopment in such areas creates positive externalities, which enhance the value of real estate assets in the area. We believe that these assets will provide greater returns than similar assets in other markets, as a result of the population growth, public commitment and significant private investment that characterize these areas.
CIM is headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, with offices in Atlanta, GA, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, London, UK, New York, NY, Orlando, FL, Phoenix, AZ, and Tokyo, Japan. CIM also maintains additional offices across the United States and in South Korea to support its platform.
Properties
As of June 30, 2024, our real estate portfolio consisted of 27 assets, all of which were fee-simple properties and five of which we own through investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures. Our Unconsolidated Joint Ventures contain two office properties (one of which is being partially converted into multifamily units), one multifamily site currently under development, one multifamily property and one commercial development site. As of June 30, 2024, our 13 office properties, totaling approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet, were 82.5% occupied, and our one hotel with an ancillary parking garage, which has a total of 503 rooms, had RevPAR of $167.57 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and our three multifamily properties were 92.5% occupied. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, we had nine development sites (three of which were being used as parking lots).
Strategy
We are a Maryland corporation and REIT. Our portfolio of investments currently consists of premier multifamily, Class A and creative office real assets in vibrant and improving metropolitan communities throughout the United States. We also own one hotel in northern California and a lending platform that originates loans under the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) loan program. We seek to apply the expertise of CIM Group to the acquisition, development and operation of premier multifamily properties situated in vibrant communities throughout the United States. We also seek to acquire, develop and operate creative office assets that cater to rapidly growing industries such as technology, media and entertainment in markets with similar business and employment characteristics to our multifamily investments. All of our multifamily and creative office assets are and will generally be located in communities qualified by CIM Group as described further below. These communities are located in areas that include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, which have high barriers to entry, high population density, positive population trends and a propensity for growth. We believe that the critical mass of redevelopment in such areas creates positive externalities, which enhance the value of real estate assets in the area. We believe that these assets will provide greater returns than similar assets in other markets, as a result of the population growth, public commitment and significant private investment that characterize these areas.
Our investments in multifamily and creative office assets may take different forms, including direct equity or preferred investments, real estate development activities, side-by-side investments or co-investments with vehicles managed or owned by CIM Group and/or originating loans that are secured directly or indirectly by properties primarily located in qualified communities (“Qualified Communities”) that meet our strategy. Further, we leverage the investor relationships of CIM Group to execute on our investment pipeline using an asset-light approach for certain of our investments. Under this approach, we co-invest with one or more third parties on an asset-level basis by raising capital from such third parties, maintain an economic interest in the asset and, in some cases, earn a management fee and a percentage of the profits. We believe this is a compelling model that is expected to contribute to strong returns on invested capital while reducing risk by reducing our capital outlay.
We intend to dispose of assets that do not fit into our strategy over time and opportunistically (i.e., we do not have any specific time frame with respect to such dispositions). Further, as a matter of prudent management, we regularly evaluate each asset within our portfolio as well as our strategy. Such review may result in dispositions when, among other things, we believe the proceeds generated from the sale of an asset can be redeployed in one or more assets that will generate better returns, or the market value of such asset is equal to or exceeds our view of its intrinsic value.
CIM Group Operations
CIM Group believes that a vast majority of the risks associated with acquiring real estate are mitigated by accumulating local market knowledge of the community where the asset is located. As a result, CIM Group typically spends significant resources over a period of between six months and five years evaluating communities prior to making any acquisitions. The distinct districts that CIM Group identifies through this process as targets for acquisitions are referred to as “Qualified Communities.” Qualified Communities typically have dedicated resources to become, or are currently, vibrant communities where people can live, work, shop and be entertained, all within walking distance or close proximity to public transportation. These areas, which include traditional downtown areas and suburban main streets, generally have high barriers to entry, high population density, positive population trends, a propensity for growth and support for investment. CIM Group believes that the critical mass of redevelopment in such Qualified Communities creates positive externalities, which enhance the value of real estate assets in the area. CIM Group targets acquisitions of diverse types of real estate assets, including retail, residential, office, parking, hotel, signage and mixed-use through CIM Group’s extensive network and its current opportunistic activities.
CIM Group seeks to maximize the value of its holdings through active onsite property management and leasing. CIM Group has extensive in-house research, acquisition, credit analysis, development, finance, leasing and onsite property management capabilities, which leverage its deep understanding of metropolitan communities to position properties for multiple uses and to maximize operating income. As a vertically-integrated owner and operator, CIM Group has in-house onsite property management and leasing capabilities. Property managers prepare annual capital and operating budgets and monthly operating reports, monitor results and oversee vendor services, maintenance and capital improvement schedules. In addition, they ensure that revenue objectives are met, lease terms are followed, receivables are collected, preventative maintenance programs are implemented, vendors are evaluated and expenses are controlled. In addition, CIM Group’s real assets management committee (the “Real Assets Management Committee”) reviews and approves strategic decisions related to financing strategies and hold/ sell analyses and performance tracking relative to the overall business plan. CIM Group’s organizational structure provides for continuity through multi-disciplinary teams responsible for an asset from the time of the original investment recommendation, through the implementation of the asset’s business plan, and any repositions or ultimate disposition activities.
CIM Group’s Investments and Development teams are separate groups that work very closely together on transactions requiring development or redevelopment. While the Investments team is ultimately responsible for acquisition analysis, both the Investments and Development teams perform due diligence, evaluate and determine underwriting assumptions and participate in the development management and ongoing asset management of CIM Group’s assets under development. The Development team is also responsible for the oversight and/or execution of securing entitlements and the development/repositioning process. In instances where CIM Group is not the lead developer, CIM Group’s in-house Development team continues to provide development and construction oversight to co-sponsors through a shadow team that oversees the progress of the development from beginning to end to ensure adherence to the budgets, schedules, quality and scope of the project in
order to maintain CIM Group’s vision for the final product. Both the Investments and Development teams interact as a cohesive team when sourcing, underwriting, acquiring, executing and managing the business plan of an opportunistic acquisition.
Financing Strategy
We may finance our future activities through one or more of the following methods: (i) offerings of shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), preferred stock or other equity and/or debt securities of the Company; (ii) issuances of interests in our operating partnership in exchange for properties; (iii) credit facilities and term loans; (iv) the addition of senior recourse or non-recourse debt using target acquisitions as well as existing assets as collateral, including the securitization of portions of our loan portfolio; (v) the sale of existing assets; (vi) partnering with co-investors; and/or (vii) cash flows from operations.
Rental Rate Trends
Office Statistics: The following table sets forth occupancy rates and annualized rent per occupied square foot across our office portfolio as of the specified periods (includes 100% of our properties partially owned through Unconsolidated Joint Ventures):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | As of June 30, |
| | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Occupancy (1) | | 83 | % | | 83 | % |
| Annualized rent per occupied square foot (1)(2) | | $ 58.85 | | $ 56.71 |
______________________
(1)The information presented in this table represents historical information as of the date indicated without giving effect to any property sales occurring thereafter.
(2)Represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified periods, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent. Annualized rent for certain office properties includes rent attributable to retail. Total abatements, representing lease incentives in the form of free rent, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $2.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Giving effect to abatements, net annualized rent per occupied square foot was $58.34 and $54.56 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (See Definitions for more detail).
Over the next four quarters, we expect to see expiring cash rents as set forth in the table below (includes 100% of our properties partially owned through Unconsolidated Joint Ventures):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | For the Three Months Ended |
| | | September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2024 | | March 31, 2025 | | June 30, 2025 |
| Expiring Cash Rents: | | | | | | | | |

| Expiring rent per square foot (2) | | $ 50.82 | | $ 52.33 | | $ 52.86 | | $ 72.86 |
______________________
(1)Month-to-month tenants occupying a total of 6,670 square feet are included in the expiring leases in the first quarter listed.
(2)Represents gross monthly base rent, as of June 30, 2024, under leases expiring during the periods above, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we executed leases with terms longer than 12 months totaling 52,346 and 89,307 square feet, respectively. The table below sets forth information on certain of our executed leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, excluding space that was vacant for more than one year, month-to-month leases, leases with an original term of less than 12 months, related party leases, and space where the previous tenant was a related party:

| | Number of Leases (1) | | Rentable Square Feet | | New Cash Rents per Square Foot (2) | | Expiring Cash Rents per Square Foot (2) |
| Three months ended June 30, 2024 | | 9 | | 47,130 | | $ 48.53 | | $ 58.71 |
| Six months ended June 30, 2024 | | 18 | | 82,872 | | $ 50.01 | | $ 55.86 |
______________________
(1)Based on the number of tenants that signed leases.
(2)Cash rents represent gross monthly base rent, multiplied by twelve. This amount reflects total cash rent before abatements. Where applicable, annualized rent has been grossed up by adding annualized expense reimbursements to base rent.
Fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and terms of leases cause large variations in these numbers and make predicting the changes in rent in any specific period difficult. Our rental and occupancy rates are impacted by general economic conditions, including the pace of regional and economic growth, and access to capital. Therefore, we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current market rates. Additionally, decreased demand and other negative trends or unforeseeable events that impair our ability to timely renew or re lease space could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
Multifamily Statistics: The following table sets forth occupancy rates and the monthly rent per occupied unit across our multifamily portfolio for the specified periods (includes 100% of our property partially owned through an Unconsolidated Joint Venture):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | As of June 30, |
| | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Occupancy | | 93 | % | | 84 | % |
| Monthly rent per occupied unit (1) | | $ 2,647 | | $ 2,914 |
______________________
(1)Represents gross monthly base rent under leases commenced as of the specified period, divided by occupied units. This amount reflects total cash rent before concessions. Net of rent concessions granted in the specified period, monthly rent per occupied unit was $2,469 and $2,336 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Hotel Statistics: The following table sets forth the occupancy, ADR and RevPAR for our hotel in Sacramento, California for the specified periods:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | For the Six Months Ended June 30, |
| | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Occupancy | | 80 | % | | 81 | % |
| ADR | | $ | 211 | | | $ | 202 | |
| RevPAR | | $ | 168 | | | $ | 163 | |
Seasonality
Our revenues and expenses for our hotel property are subject to seasonality during the year. Generally, our hotel revenues are greater in the first and second quarters than the third and fourth quarters. This seasonality can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in revenues, segment net operating income, net income and cash provided by operating activities. In addition, the hotel industry is cyclical and demand generally follows, on a lagged basis, key macroeconomic factors.
Lending Segment
Through our loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Program, we are a national lender that primarily originates loans to small businesses. We identify loan origination opportunities through personal contacts, internet referrals, attendance at trade shows and meetings, direct mailings, advertisements in trade publications and other marketing methods. We also generate loans through referrals from real estate and loan brokers, franchise representatives, existing borrowers, lawyers and accountants.
The SBA 7(a) Loan Program is the SBA’s most common loan program. The maximum loan amount for an SBA 7(a) loan is $5.0 million. Key eligibility factors are based on what the business does to generate its income, its credit history, the liquidity of the borrower, size standards and where the business operates. We work with potential borrowers to identify the type of loan that would be appropriate for each such borrower’s needs. Our SBA 7(a) term loans have monthly repayment terms of principal and interest and are originated with variable interest rates based on the prime rate. Most of our SBA 7(a) loans have maturities of approximately 25 years.
While we have focused on originating real estate loans almost exclusively to the limited service and mid-scale hospitality industry, we intend to increase our efforts to originate other real estate collateralized loans. These loans are anticipated to be primarily concentrated in industries in which we previously had positive experience, including convenience store, RV park and single purpose building owner-occupied restaurant operations and may include owner-occupied industrial operations/warehouse buildings.
Property Concentration
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Incorporated, which occupied space in one of our Oakland, California properties, accounted for 29.5% of our annualized office rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
2024 Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Net Loss and FFO

| Net loss | | $ | (852) | | | $ | (18,361) | | | $ | 17,509 | | | (95) | % |
Net loss was $852,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $17.5 million. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $14.0 million and an increase of $4.2 million in segment net operating income (discussed in more detail in the following Summary Segment Results).
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties
in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”).
Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
The following table sets forth a historical reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Three Months Ended June 30, |
| | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Net loss attributable to common stockholders(1) | | $ (9,667) | | $ (23,815) |
| Depreciation and amortization | | 6,456 | | 20,472 |
| Non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of depreciation and amortization | | (68) | | (883) |
FFO attributable to common stockholders(1) | | $ (3,279) | | $ (4,226) |
______________________
(1)During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $567,000 and $315,000, respectively, of redeemable preferred stock redemptions. Such amounts are included in, and have the effect of increasing net loss attributable to common stockholders and FFO attributable to common stockholders because redeemable preferred stock redemptions are not an adjustment prescribed by NAREIT.
FFO attributable to common stockholders, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $(3.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $0.9 million compared to $(4.2) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in FFO was primarily due to an increase of $4.2 million in segment net operating income (discussed in more detail in the following Summary Segment Results). This was partially offset by an increase in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments of $952,000, an increase in redeemable preferred stock dividends of $1.7 million, and an increase in redeemable preferred stock redemptions of $252,000.
Summary Segment Results
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we operated in four segments: office, hotel and multifamily properties and lending. Set forth and described below are summary segment results for our operating segments (dollar amounts in thousands).

Revenues
Office Revenue: Office revenue includes rental revenue, expense reimbursements and lease termination income from office properties. Office revenue was $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, consistent with $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Hotel Revenue: Hotel revenue increased to $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in average daily rate and revenue per available room during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Multifamily Revenue: Multifamily revenue was $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to higher rental revenues at our multifamily properties in Oakland, California due to increased occupancy and increased monthly rent per occupied unit, net of rent concessions, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Lending Revenue: Lending revenue represents revenue from our lending subsidiaries, including interest income on loans and other loan related fee income. Lending revenue was $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in premium income as a result of lower loan sale volume and decreased interest income due to higher loan payoff volume during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Income (loss) From Unconsolidated Office Entities: The income from our Unconsolidated Joint Ventures included in office segment net operating income increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $710,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an unrealized gain on the value of real estate at one of the unconsolidated office entities recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Loss From Unconsolidated Multifamily Entity: The loss from our Unconsolidated Joint Venture included in the multifamily segment net operating income was $81,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $194,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the unrealized loss on the value of real estate at the Unconsolidated Joint Venture included in our multifamily segment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, increased to $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily related to interest earned on money market accounts during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Expenses
Office Expenses: Office expenses were $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the same as for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Hotel Expenses: Hotel expenses increased to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased wage expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Multifamily Expenses: Multifamily expenses decreased to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower property-level general and administrative expenses at multifamily properties in Oakland, California for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Lending Expenses: Lending expenses represent expenses from our lending subsidiaries, including interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fees to related parties. Lending expenses decreased to $1.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense resulting from the amount of principal repayments on our SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as well as a decrease in allocated payroll expenses, primarily as a result of lower loan origination volume.
Asset Management and Other Fees to Related Parties: Asset management fees and other fees to related parties, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $627,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was a result of a reduction in asset management fees related to a decrease in our net asset value, primarily resulting from a reduction in the fair value of our investments in real estate as of the end of 2023.
Expense Reimbursements to Related Parties—Corporate: The Administrator receives compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for the Company and its subsidiaries. Expense reimbursements to related parties-corporate were $612,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, generally consistent with expenses of $677,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest Expense: Interest expense, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, increased to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase
was attributable a higher average outstanding principal balances on our 2022 Credit Facility Revolver for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and an increase in the SOFR components of interest rates on our variable-rate debt for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, generally consistent with $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Transaction-Related Costs: Transaction costs, which related to potential real estate transactions, were $135,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with no such costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in acquired in-place lease intangible assets amortization at multifamily properties located in Oakland, California acquired during the first quarter of 2023, which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2023, partially offset by incremental increases to fixed asset depreciation expense related to the acquired properties.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was $288,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $159,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is due to higher taxable income at our taxable REIT subsidiaries compared to the prior year period.

| Net loss | | $ | (4,757) | | | $ | (25,937) | | | $ | 21,180 | | | (81.7) | % |
Net loss was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $21.2 million. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $17.0 million, a $2.5 million decrease in transaction-related costs, and an increase of $4.9 million in segment net operating income (discussed in more detail in the following Summary Segment Results). These were partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments.
Funds from Operations
We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”), a non-GAAP measure, is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of a REIT and that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO represents net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, which reflects the deduction of redeemable preferred stock dividends accumulated, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, impairment of real estate, and real estate depreciation and amortization. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “NAREIT”).
Like any metric, FFO should not be used as the only measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our real estate properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our operating results. Other REITs may not
calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the NAREIT; accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFOs of other REITs. Therefore, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flows from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
The following table sets forth a historical reconciliation of net loss attributable to common stockholders to FFO attributable to common stockholders (in thousands):

______________________
(1)During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $1.4 million and $688,000, respectively, of redeemable preferred stock redemptions. Such amounts are included in, and have the effect of increasing net loss attributable to common stockholders and FFO attributable to common stockholders because redeemable preferred stock redemptions are not an adjustment prescribed by NAREIT.
FFO attributable to common stockholders, which is a non-GAAP measure, was $(9.2) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $180,000 compared to $(9.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in FFO was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase in interest expense not allocated to our operating segments and a $4.1 million and $685,000 increase in redeemable preferred stock dividends and redemptions, respectively. These were partially offset by an increase of $4.9 million in segment net operating income (discussed in more detail in the following Summary Segment Results) as well as a $2.5 million decrease in transaction-related costs.
Summary Segment Results
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, we operated in four segments: office, hotel and multifamily properties and lending. Set forth and described below are summary segment results for our operating segments (dollar amounts in thousands).

•Percentage changes in excess of 100% are deemed to be not meaningful (“NM”)
Revenues
Office Revenue: Office revenue includes rental revenue, expense reimbursements and lease termination income from office properties. Office revenue increased to $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $27.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher rental revenues at an office property in Beverly Hills, California due to increased occupancy.
Hotel Revenue: Hotel revenue increased to $24.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in average daily rate and revenue per available room during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Multifamily Revenue: Multifamily revenue was $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the six months ended June 30, 2024 benefiting from two full quarters of income from properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Lending Revenue: Lending revenue represents revenue from our lending subsidiaries, including interest income on loans and other loan related fee income. Lending revenue was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in premium income and a decrease in interest income as a result of lower loan originations and loan sale volume during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Income (loss) From Unconsolidated Office Entities: The income from our Unconsolidated Joint Ventures included in office segment net operating income increased to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $774,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an unrealized gain on the value of real estate at one of the unconsolidated office entities recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
(Loss) income From Unconsolidated Multifamily Entity: The loss from our Unconsolidated Joint Venture included in the multifamily segment net operating loss was $524,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to income of $638,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an unrealized loss on the value of real estate at the Unconsolidated Joint Venture included in our multifamily segment during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest and Other Income: Interest and other income, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, increased to $314,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily related to interest earned on money market accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Expenses
Office Expenses: Office expenses increased to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher operating expenses at our office properties in Beverly Hills, California, and Los Angeles, California as a result of increased occupancy, and our office property in Oakland, California from increased utilities and repairs and maintenance expense. These were partially offset by lower real estate tax expense at our office property in Austin, Texas.
Hotel Expenses: Hotel expenses increased by 4.9% to $15.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased wage expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Multifamily Expenses: Multifamily expenses increased to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the six months ended June 30, 2024 including two full quarters of expense from properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Lending Expenses: Lending expenses represent expenses from our lending subsidiaries, including interest expense, general and administrative expenses and fees to related parties. Lending expenses were $3.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, largely consistent with expenses of $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Asset Management and Other Fees to Related Parties: Asset management fees and other fees to related parties, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $819,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was a result of a reduction in asset management fees related to a decrease in our net asset value, primarily resulting from a reduction in the fair value of our investments in real estate as of the end of 2023.
Expense Reimbursements to Related Parties—Corporate: The Administrator receives compensation and/or reimbursement for performing certain services for the Company and its subsidiaries. Expense reimbursements to related parties-corporate were $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the same as for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Interest Expense: Interest expense, which has not been allocated to our operating segments, increased to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to mortgages assumed in connection with our multifamily acquisitions during the first quarter of 2023, higher average outstanding principal balances on our 2022 Credit Facility Revolver for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 and an increase in the SOFR components of interest rates on our variable-rate debt for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses, which have not been allocated to our operating segments, were $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, generally consistent with $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Transaction-Related Costs: Transaction costs were $825,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was related to costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of two multifamily properties in Oakland, California in the first quarter of 2023, which increased these costs in the prior year period.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense: Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in acquired in-place lease intangible assets amortization at multifamily properties located in Oakland, California acquired during the first quarter of 2023, which were fully amortized as of December 31, 2023, partially offset by incremental increases to fixed asset depreciation expense related to the acquired properties.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate: Gain on sale of real estate of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was related to the sale of 80% of our interest in an office property in Los Angeles, California. There were no dispositions during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes: Provision for income taxes was $558,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, consistent with $415,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash Flow Analysis
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the real estate assets owned, occupancy level of our real estate assets, the rental rates achieved through our leases, the occupancy and ADR of our hotel, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants, and loan related activity. Our cash flows from operating activities are also impacted by fluctuations in operating expenses and other general and administrative costs. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease resulting from a higher level of net working capital used compared to the prior period and a decrease in net proceeds from the sale of loans of $1.8 million, partially offset by a reduction in net loss adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense and other non-cash items of $5.2 million.
Our cash flows from investing activities are primarily related to property acquisitions and dispositions, expenditures for the development or repositioning of properties, capital expenditures and cash flows associated with loans originated at our lending segment. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $76.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an decrease in acquisitions of real estate of $96.7 million and a decrease in cash outlays of $6.2 million related to our investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Partially offsetting the decrease in net cash used in investing activities are $29.5 million in proceeds from the sale of a property to the 4750 Wilshire JV during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Our cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by borrowings and capital activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily as a result of net proceeds from our 2022 Credit Facility and mortgages of $13.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $71.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the issuance of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes of approximately $54.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and a
$23.2 million decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock. The aforementioned amounts decreasing net cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by a decrease in redemption of preferred stock of $75.3 million and a decrease in the payment of deferred debt origination costs of $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
On a short-term basis, our principal demands for funds will be for the acquisition of assets, development or repositioning of properties (as further described below) (including pre-construction costs such as obtaining entitlements and permits and architectural work), or re-leasing of space in existing properties, capital expenditures, paying interest and principal on current and any future debt financings, SBA 7(a) loan originations, paying distributions on our Preferred Stock and Common Stock and making redemption payments on our Preferred Stock. We may finance our future activities through one or more of the following methods: (i) offerings of shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), preferred stock or other equity and/or debt securities of the Company; (ii) issuances of interests in our operating partnership in exchange
for properties; (iii) credit facilities and term loans; (iv) the addition of senior recourse or non-recourse debt using target acquisitions as well as existing assets as collateral, including the securitization of portions of our loan portfolio; (v) the sale of existing assets; (vi) partnering with co-investors; and/or (vii) cash flows from operations. In December 2022, we completed a refinancing of our 2018 credit facility, which was set to mature in October 2023, replacing it with the new facility (the “2022 Credit Facility”). The 2022 Credit Facility includes a $56.2 million term loan as well as a revolver allowing the Company to borrow up to $150.0 million, both of which are collectively subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2022 Credit Facility matures in December 2025 and provides for two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions being satisfied. On December 23, 2022, the Company announced it would redeem all remaining outstanding shares of its Series L Preferred Stock in cash on January 25, 2023 for a total cost of $83.8 million. The payment for the Series L Redemption was made on January 25, 2023 and was funded by a combination of proceeds from the sale of our Series A1 Preferred Stock, draws on our 2022 Credit Facility, and cash on hand.
Our long-term liquidity needs will consist primarily of funds necessary for acquisitions of assets, development or repositioning of properties, or re-leasing of space in existing properties, capital expenditures, paying interest and principal on debt financings, refinancing of indebtedness, SBA 7(a) loan originations, paying distributions on our Preferred Stock or any other preferred stock we may issue, any future repurchase of Common Stock and/or redemption of our Preferred Stock (if we choose, or are required, to pay the redemption price in cash instead of in shares of our Common Stock) and distributions on our Common Stock. Additionally, our outstanding commitments to fund loans were $19.6 million as of June 30, 2024, substantially all of which reflect prime-based loans to be originated by our subsidiary engaged in SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program lending. A majority of these commitments have government guarantees of 75% (as the government guarantee has now reverted to 75%) and we believe that we will be able to sell the guaranteed portion of these loans in a liquid secondary market upon fully funding these loans. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. To the extent we decide to proceed with development work on any of our development sites (in addition to those discussed below), we will have increased liquidity needs.
An Unconsolidated Joint Venture (the “4750 Wilshire JV”), in which we have a 20% ownership interest, is in the process of converting two of the three floors of an office building in Los Angeles, California from office-use into 68 for-lease multifamily units (the “4750 Wilshire Project”), with the first floor of the building continuing to function as 30,335 square feet of office space. The total cost of the 4750 Wilshire Project is expected to be approximately $31.0 million (our share of which will be $6.2 million), which will be financed by a combination of equity contributions from us and co-investors as well as a mortgage loan from a third-party lender. In connection with the 4750 Wilshire JV, we received cash sales proceeds from the joint venture partners, enhancing our liquidity. Further, we have earned and will continue to earn management fees from co-investors in connection with their co-investment in the 4750 Wilshire Project. As of June 30, 2024, total costs of $23.6 million had been incurred by the 4750 Wilshire JV in connection with the 4750 Wilshire Project. The 4750 Wilshire Project is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2024.
In addition to the 4750 Wilshire Project, our long-term liquidity needs include our plan to renovate the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Sacramento, California (the “Hotel Renovation”), which primarily entails renovating the hotel’s guest rooms and corridors and is expected to cost approximately $20.9 million. As of June 30, 2024, $2.0 million of pre-construction costs had been incurred with respect to the Hotel Renovation, which the Company has started construction as of July 2024, with anticipated completion by the end of of 2024. Additionally, an Unconsolidated Joint Venture (the “1910 Sunset JV”), in which we have approximately a 44% ownership interest, has begun construction to develop a multifamily apartment building with 36 multifamily units at 1915 Park Avenue in Los Angeles, California (the “1915 Park Project), which development is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2025 and with an estimated cost of approximately $19.3 million (our share of which will be $8.5 million). The 1910 Sunset JV plans to finance the project through a combination of cash from operations at its office property, additional equity contributions from existing investors, and proceeds from a mortgage loan from a third-party lender (which is in-place but currently has no outstanding borrowings and is subject to additional equity contribution requirements which have not yet been met). As of June 30, 2024, the 1910 Sunset JV had incurred total costs of $3.9 million in connection with the 1915 Park Project.
We may not have sufficient funds on hand or may not be able to obtain additional financing to cover all of our long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis in the form of dividends, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long-term. While we will seek to satisfy such needs through one or more of the methods described in the first paragraph of this section, our ability to take such actions is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in “Risk Factors” in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If we cannot obtain funding for our long-term liquidity needs, our assets may generate lower cash flows or decline in value, or both, which may cause us to sell assets at a time when we would not otherwise do so which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.
Sources and Uses of Funds
Mortgages
We have mortgage loan agreements with an outstanding balances of $250.7 million as of June 30, 2024. Our mortgage loans mature on various dates from June 7, 2025 through July 1, 2026, with the two mortgage loans with maturity dates in 2025, each including a 1-year extension option, one of them at the Company’s discretion and one subject to certain conditions being met.
The Company has been in discussions with the lender under the variable rate mortgage to restructure the terms of the mortgage, as rent payments from the property will likely be insufficient to meet debt service payments under the mortgage. There can be no assurance that such restructuring will occur. If the Company and the lender under the variable rate mortgage cannot agree on a modification of the mortgage and the Company fails to make a required monthly debt service payment, such failure will constitute an event of default under the mortgage and the lender may, among other remedies, declare principal and interest under the mortgage loan to be immediately due and payable. The mortgage relates to Channel House, a multifamily property in Oakland, California.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In October 2018, we entered into the 2018 revolving credit facility that, as amended, allowed us to borrow up to $209.5 million, subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2018 revolving credit facility was secured by properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio: eight office properties and one hotel property. In December 2022, the Company refinanced its 2018 credit facility and replaced it with a new 2022 Credit Facility, entered into with a bank syndicate, that includes a $56.2 million term loan (the “2022 Credit Facility Term Loan”) as well as a revolver allowing the Company to borrow up to $150.0 million (the “2022 Credit Facility Revolver”), both of which are collectively subject to a borrowing base calculation. The 2022 Credit Facility is secured by properties in the Company’s real estate portfolio: six office properties and one hotel property (as well as the hotel’s adjacent parking garage and retail property). The 2022 Credit Facility bears interest at (A) the base rate plus 1.50% or (B) SOFR plus 2.60%. As of June 30, 2024, the variable interest rate was 7.93%. The 2022 Credit
Facility Revolver is also subject to an unused commitment fee of 0.15% or 0.25% depending on the amount of aggregate unused commitments. The 2022 Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company is subject to certain financial maintenance covenants. The 2022 Credit Facility matures in December 2025 and provides for two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions being satisfied, including providing notice of the election and paying an extension fee of 0.15% of each lender’s commitment being extended on the effective date of such extension. As of August 1, 2024, June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, $173.2 million, $173.2 million, and $153.2 million, respectively, was outstanding under the 2022 Credit Facility and approximately $0.0, $0.0 and $53.0 million, respectively, was available for future borrowings.
As of each of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with a financial covenant under the 2022 credit facility. Such non-compliance constituted an event of default under the 2022 credit facility. On May 14, 2024, lenders under the 2022 credit facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending March 31, 2024. On August 7, 2024, lenders under the 2022 credit facility and the Company entered into an agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) pursuant to which the lenders waived such event of default with respect to the test period ending June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Second Modification Agreement, the Company will not be able to borrow under the 2022 credit facility without the consent of the lenders until certain conditions are satisfied, including delivery of a revised business plan acceptable to the lenders and re-establishing compliance with the financial covenant. There can be no assurance as to when or if such conditions will be satisfied. The Company believes that it could rely on other sources for its liquidity needs, including, among other things, (i) obtaining new or modifying existing credit facilities and term loans; (ii) offerings of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity and or debt securities of the Company; (iii) the addition of senior recourse or non-recourse debt using existing assets as collateral; (iv) the sale of existing assets; (v) partnering with co-investors; and or (vi) cash flows from operations. Among other restrictions, the Second Modification Agreement also prohibits subsidiaries of the Company that own properties that secured the 2022 credit facility from making any distributions to its parent entities. The Second Modification Agreement did not waive compliance with the financial covenant for the test period ending September 30, 2024 or any future period. Simultaneously with the execution of the Second Modification Agreement, the Company repaid $4.0 million of principal under the 2022 credit facility.
While the Company has been in discussions with the administrative agent of the 2022 credit facility to come to a satisfactory solution to the Company’s non-compliance with a financial covenant, there can be no assurance that such resolution will be achieved. If the Company is unsuccessful in coming to a resolution with the administrative agent of the 2022 credit facility, and is not able to re-establish compliance with the financial covenant for the test period ending September 30, 2024 or any future period, lenders thereunder may, among other remedies, declare their commitment thereunder to be terminated and/or declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, to be immediately due and payable, and foreclose on or take other secured creditor remedies with respect to the properties that secure the 2022 credit facility.
Other Financing Activity
On March 9, 2023, our lending division completed a securitization of the unguaranteed portion of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable with the issuance of $54.1 million of unguaranteed SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes (with net proceeds of approximately $43.3 million, after payment of fees and expenses in connection with the securitization and the funding of a reserve account and an escrow account). The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes are collateralized by the right to receive payments and other recoveries attributable to the unguaranteed portions of certain of our SBA 7(a) loans receivable. The SBA 7(a) loan backed notes mature on March 20, 2048, with monthly payments due as payments on the collateralized loans are received. The SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (i) 30-Day average compounded SOFR plus 2.90% and (ii) prime rate minus 0.35%. As of June 30, 2024, the variable interest rate was 8.15%. We reflect the SBA 7(a) loans receivable as assets on our consolidated balance sheet and the SBA 7(a) loan-backed notes as debt on our consolidated balance sheet.
We have junior subordinated notes with a variable interest rate that resets quarterly based on the three-month SOFR plus 3.51%, with quarterly interest‑only payments. The junior subordinated balance is due at maturity on March 30, 2035. The
junior subordinated notes may be redeemed at par at our option. The aggregate principal balance of the junior subordinated notes was $27.1 million as of June 30, 2024.
Securities Offerings
We conducted a continuous public offering of Series A Preferred Stock from October 2016 through January 2020, where one Series A Preferred Warrant was issued along with each issued share of Series A Preferred Stock. During the tenure of the offering, we issued 4,603,287 Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Warrants and received aggregate net proceeds of $105.2 million after commissions, fees and allocated costs.
The Series A Preferred Warrants are exercisable beginning on the first anniversary of the date of their original issuance until and including the fifth anniversary of the date of such issuance. At the time of issuance, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant was equal to a 15.0% premium to the per share estimated NAV of our Common Stock most recently published and designated as the applicable NAV by us at the time of issuance. However, in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Warrants, the exercise price of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the reverse stock split in 2019 (the “Reverse Stock Split”) was automatically adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split and, in the discretion of our Board of Directors, the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Series A Preferred Warrant issued prior to the special dividend in 2019 was adjusted to reflect the effect of the Special Dividend. As of June 30, 2024, there were 988,794 Series A Preferred Warrants to purchase 250,777 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
From February 2020 through June 2022, we conducted a continuous public offering of our Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock. Since June 2022, the Company has been conducting a public offering with respect to shares of its Series A1 Preferred Stock. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes, acquisitions of shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, whether through one or more tender offers, share repurchases or otherwise, and acquisitions consistent with our acquisition and asset management strategies. As of June 30, 2024, we had issued 11,492,002 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, 8,251,657 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 56,857 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and received aggregate net proceeds of $446.9 million after commissions, fees and allocated costs.
Dividends on and Redemptions of Preferred Stock
Holders of Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, as and when authorized by our Board of Directors, and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share as follows: (1) at the of greater of (i) an annual rate of 6.0% of the Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.3750 per share per quarter) and (ii) the Federal Funds (Effective) Rate for such quarter and plus 2.5% of the Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value divided by four, up to a maximum of 2.5% of the Series A1 Preferred Stock Stated Value per quarter, (2) 5.50% of the Series A Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.34375 per share per quarter), and (3) 5.65% of the Series D Preferred Stock Stated Value (i.e., the equivalent of $0.35313 per share per quarter), respectively.
We expect to pay dividends on the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock in arrears on a monthly basis, unless our results of operations, our general financing conditions, general economic conditions, applicable requirements of the MGCL or other factors make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of dividends declared and paid on our Preferred Stock will be determined by our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and may vary from time to time.
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if, as and when authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by us out of legally available funds. In determining our dividend policy, the Board of Directors considers many factors including the amount of cash resources available for dividend distributions, capital spending plans, cash flow, our financial position, applicable requirements of the MGCL, any applicable contractual restrictions, and future growth in NAV and cash flow per share prospects. Consequently, the dividend rate on a quarterly basis does not necessarily correlate directly to any individual factor.
From the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock may require us to redeem such shares at a discount to the Series A1 Preferred Stock, Series A
Preferred Stated Value and Series D Preferred Stated Value, respectively. From and after the fifth anniversary of the date of original issuance of any share of our Preferred Stock, we generally (subject to certain conditions) have the right (but not the obligation) to redeem, and the holder of such share may require us to redeem, such share at a redemption price equal to 100% of the stated value of such share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends in respect of such share as of the effective date of the redemption. The redemption price in respect of any share of Preferred Stock, whether redeemed at our option or at the option of a holder, may be paid in cash or in shares of Common Stock in our sole discretion. As of June 30, 2024, we redeemed 2,065,479 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 151,074 shares of Series A1 Preferred Stock, and 8,410 shares of Series D Preferred Stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Our recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future income, cash flow and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We are exposed to market risk in the form of changes in interest rates and the potential impact such changes may have on the cash flows from our floating rate debt or the fair values of our fixed rate debt. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (including our variable rate mortgages payable subject to interest rate cap agreements and excluding premiums, discounts, and deferred loan costs), $250.7 million (or 51.3%) and $250.7 million (or 52.7%) of our debt, respectively, was fixed rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (excluding our variable rate mortgages payable subject to interest rate cap agreements as well as premiums, discounts and deferred loan costs), $237.7 million (or 48.7%) and $224.7 million (or 47.3%), respectively, was floating rate borrowings. Based on the level of floating rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a 50 basis point change in SOFR would result in an annual impact to our earnings of approximately $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. We calculate interest rate sensitivity by multiplying the amount of floating rate debt by the respective change in rate.
As of June 30, 2024, we had one interest rate cap agreement outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $87.0 million and an aggregate fair value of the net derivative asset of $472,000. As of June 30, 2024, an increase or decrease of 50 basis points in interest rates would not result in a significant change to the fair value of the derivative asset.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, as of June 30, 2024, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are not currently involved in any material pending or threatened legal proceedings nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings currently threatened against us, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the normal course of business, we are periodically party to certain legal actions and proceedings involving matters that are generally incidental to our business. While the outcome of these legal actions and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in management’s opinion, the resolution of these legal proceedings and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow or our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations or to maintain our level of distributions on our Common Stock or Preferred Stock.

Under the SRP, the Company, in its discretion, may purchase shares of its Common Stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of purchases of shares will depend on a number of factors, including the price and availability of shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The SRP has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased 662,462 shares of Common Stock for $4.7 million.
