Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, 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”). We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provision for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions or variations thereof and include, without limitation, statements regarding our future estimated base rent, funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations and our dividend. Among other things, forward looking statements with respect to (i) estimates of base rent and rental income exclude variable rent (including tenant reimbursements) and the adjustments required by GAAP to present rental income, (ii) estimates of base rent may not, unless otherwise expressly indicated, reflect the expenses (e.g., real estate expenses, interest, depreciation and amortization or any one or more of the foregoing) with respect to the associated property, (iii) anticipated property purchases, sales, financings and/or refinancings may not be completed during the period or on the terms indicated or at all, (iv) estimates of gains from property sales or proceeds from financing or refinancing transactions are subject to adjustment, among other things, because actual closing costs may differ from the estimated costs and (v) anticipated rent increases, including those tied to filling of vacancies or as a result of market-to-market opportunities (i.e., renewing leased premises at higher rental rates) may not be realized. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performance or achievements.

The uncertainties, risks and factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:

In light of the factors referred to above, the future events discussed or incorporated by reference in this report and other documents we file with the SEC may not occur, and actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.  Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on any forward-looking statements.

Except as may be required under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make in our reports that are filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Challenges and uncertainties facing the St. Louis Park, Minnesota property

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million with respect to our retail property located at St. Louis Park, Minnesota. At June 30, 2026, approximately 75% of the property is vacant. Based on the lease in effect at July 1, 2026, we expect this property to generate rental income (excluding tenant reimbursements) of approximately $500,000 for 2026 and, in 2025, we generated $917,000 of rental income (excluding tenant reimbursements) from this property. We estimate that this property will incur unreimbursed real estate expenses of approximately $260,000 during the six months ending December 31, 2026. We are pursuing the sale and/or lease of this property and may be required to take additional impairment(s) with respect thereto.

Overview

We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. To qualify as a REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of ordinary taxable income to our stockholders. We intend to comply with these requirements and to maintain our REIT status.

We acquire, own and manage a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial properties (and in particular, warehouse and distribution facilities). As of June 30, 2026, we own 109 properties with approximately 12.2 million square feet (including 80 industrial properties with approximately 11.0 million square feet) located in 33 states. Based on square footage, our overall occupancy rate at June 30, 2026 is approximately 97.6% and the occupancy rate by property type is: 98.3% for our industrial properties, 87.8% for our retail properties and 100% for our other properties.

We face a variety of risks and challenges in our business, including the possibility we will not be able to: lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all; collect amounts owed to us by our tenants; renew or re-let, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring or otherwise terminating; acquire or dispose of properties on acceptable terms; or grow, through acquisitions or otherwise, our property portfolio so as to generate additional net income and cash for distribution.

Other than with respect to our continuing focus on acquiring industrial properties, we generally seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by (i) diversifying among locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations, mortgage maturities and lenders, and (ii) minimizing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations.

Table of Contents

We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenant’s financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements or other financial information, obtaining other tenant related information, reviewing changes in tenant payment patterns, regular contact with tenant’s representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenant’s financial condition is unsatisfactory.

In acquiring and disposing of properties, among other things, we evaluate the terms of the leases, the credit of the existing tenants, the terms and conditions of the related financing arrangement (including any contemplated financing) and engage in a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be bought or sold. This fundamental analysis takes into account, among other things, the estimated value of the property, local competition and demographics, and the ability to re-rent or dispose of the property on favorable terms upon lease expiration or early termination. In addition, in evaluating property sales, we take into account, among other things, the property type (i.e., industrial, retail or other), our perception of the property’s long-term prospects (including the likelihood for, and the extent of, any further appreciation or diminution in value), the term remaining on the related lease and mortgage debt, the price and other terms and conditions for the sale of such property and the returns anticipated to be generated from the reinvestment of the net proceeds to us from such property sale.

Our Base Rent is approximately $84.0 million; Base Rent represents the base rent payable to us during the twelve months ending June 30, 2027 under leases in effect at July 1, 2026 (excluding tenant reimbursements and after giving effect to any abatements, concessions, deferrals or adjustments). It excludes an aggregate of $619,000 representing the Base Rent of two retail properties which we sold in July 2026 and anticipate selling in August 2026 (i.e., Monroeville, Pennsylvania and Chicago, Illinois).

The following table sets forth information about our properties by industry sector as of June 30, 2026:

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

​

Overview

​

We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT focused on acquiring, owning and managing a geographically diversified portfolio consisting primarily of industrial properties. As of February 1, 2026 and after giving effect to the ten industrial properties we acquired in January 2026, we own 113 properties with approximately 12.5 million square feet, including 79 industrial properties with approximately 11.0 million square feet, and we anticipate that our industrial properties will generate approximately 81.6% of our 2026 base rent.

​

General Challenges and Uncertainties

​

In addition to the challenges and uncertainties described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, and “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, we, among other things, face additional challenges and uncertainties, including the possibility we will not be able to: lease our properties on terms favorable to us or at all; collect amounts owed to us by our tenants; renew or re-let, on acceptable terms, leases that are expiring or otherwise terminating; acquire or dispose of properties on acceptable terms; or grow, through acquisitions or otherwise, our property portfolio so as to generate additional rental and net income. If we are unable to address these challenges successfully, we may be unable to sustain our current level of dividend payments.

​

Other than with respect to our continuing focus on acquiring industrial properties, we generally seek to manage the risk of our real property portfolio and the related financing arrangements by (i) diversifying among locations, tenants, scheduled lease expirations, mortgage maturities and lenders, and (ii) minimizing our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. As a result, as of December 31, 2025:

​

​

We monitor the risk of tenant non-payments through a variety of approaches tailored to the applicable situation. Generally, based on our assessment of the credit risk posed by our tenants, we monitor a tenant’s financial condition through one or more of the following actions: reviewing tenant financial statements or other financial information, obtaining other tenant related information, reviewing changes in tenant payment patterns, regular contact with tenant’s representatives, tenant credit checks and regular management reviews of our tenants. We may sell a property if the tenant’s financial condition is unsatisfactory.

​

We monitor, on an ongoing basis, our expiring leases and generally approach tenants with expiring leases (including those subject to renewal options) at least a year prior to lease expiration to determine their interest in renewing their leases. During the three years ending December 31, 2028, 70 leases for 64 tenants at 47 properties representing $30.9 million, or 37.4%, of 2026 base rent expire.

​

In acquiring properties, we balance an evaluation of the terms of the leases and the credit of the existing tenants with a fundamental analysis of the real estate to be acquired, which analysis takes into account, among

Recent Developments

​

We purchased, on January 29, 2026, a 637,633 square foot portfolio comprised of ten industrial properties (the “Portfolio Acquisition”) located in seven markets (i.e., Greensboro, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, Birmingham, Alabama, Omaha, Nebraska, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Salt Lake City, Utah and Jackson, Mississippi) and leased to six tenants (i.e., Mondelez Global, Husqvarna U.S. Holdings, L&W Supply Corporation, Owens & Minor Distribution, Bimbo Bakeries USA, and HABE USA), for $56.7 million, including new mortgage debt on six of the properties of $17.0 million bearing an interest rate of 5.53% and maturing in 2033. We also borrowed $30.0 million from our credit facility (which bears a fluctuating interest rate of 5.45% at January 29, 2026) in connection with this purchase. We anticipate paying down our credit facility debt from the net proceeds of property sales and mortgage financing on two of the unencumbered properties included in the Portfolio Acquisition. As of January 29, 2026, the base rent in 2026 for these properties is approximately $2.8 million, and we estimate that after giving effect to anticipated lease renewals (as to which no assurance can be provided), the 2026 base rent for these properties will be approximately $3.6 million. We also estimate that in 2026, these properties will generate $2.6 million of interest expense (including $1.7 million of such expense from the credit facility assuming an interest rate of 5.45% and that $30.0 million remains outstanding thereon).

​

As of February 27, 2026, $30.0 million is outstanding under our credit facility bearing a floating rate of interest of 5.42% per year.
