NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Modiv Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 15, 2015 as a Maryland corporation. The Company changed its name from Modiv Inc. to Modiv Industrial, Inc., effective August 11, 2023, upon achieving a super-majority of industrial properties in its portfolio. The Company has the authority to issue 450,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 2,000,000 shares are designated as 7.375% Series A cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), 300,000,000 shares of Class C common stock (“Class C Common Stock”), $0.001 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of Class S common stock, $0.001 par value per share. The Company's Series A Preferred Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol MDV.PA and has been trading since September 17, 2021. The Company's Class C Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “MDV” and has been trading since February 11, 2022.
The Company holds its investments in real property primarily through special purpose limited liability companies which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Modiv Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Operating Partnership was formed on January 28, 2016. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owned an approximate 82% and 68% partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Operating Partnership's limited partners are holders of Class C Operating Partnership units, as described in Note 12.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's portfolio of approximately 4.5 million square feet of aggregate leasable space consisted of investments in 42 real estate properties, comprised of: 38 industrial properties, which represent approximately 75% of the portfolio (expressed as a percentage of annual base rent (“ABR”) as of March 31, 2024) and includes an approximate 72.7% tenant-in-common interest in a Santa Clara, California industrial property (the “TIC Interest”), three office properties, which represent approximately 14% of the portfolio, and one retail property, which represents approximately 11% of the portfolio.
At the Market Offering
On March 30, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263985), and on May 27, 2022, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, to issue and sell from time to time, together or separately, the following securities at an aggregate public offering price that will not exceed $200,000,000: Class C Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units. The Form S-3, as amended, became effective on June 2, 2022, and the Company filed a prospectus supplement for the Company’s at-the-market offering of up to $50,000,000 of its Class C Common Stock (the “ATM Offering”) on June 6, 2022. On November 13, 2023, the Company filed Supplement No. 1 to the Prospectus Supplement dated June 6, 2022, and to the Prospectus dated June 2, 2022, to reflect the Amended and Restated At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated November 13, 2023, and the change in the Company's corporate name. From January 1, 2024 to January 31, 2024, the Company sold and issued 76,991 shares of Class C Common Stock for $1,137,028 net of sales commissions of $23,205, and no additional shares were sold and issued through March 31, 2024. The resulting net proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $933,364 after legal, accounting, investor relations and other offering costs of $203,664.
On March 12, 2024, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 for the purpose of converting the Registration Statement on Form S-3 into Registration Statement on Form S-11 because, upon filing the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company was no longer eligible to use Form S-3. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 includes an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Company's DRP (as defined below), and 395,457 of those shares of common stock have been issued through March 31, 2024. The Company's Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 became effective on March 21, 2024. No additional securities were registered under Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
On February 15, 2022, the Company's board of directors amended and restated the Company's distribution reinvestment plan (the “Second Amended and Restated DRP”) with respect to the Class C Common Stock to change the purchase price at which the Class C Common Stock is issued to stockholders who elect to participate in the Company's distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”). The purpose of this change was to reflect the fact that the Company's Class C Common Stock was listed on the NYSE and no longer priced based on net asset value (“NAV”) per share. As more fully described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP, the purchase price for the Class C Common Stock under the DRP depends on whether the Company issues new shares to DRP participants or the Company or any third-party administrator obtains shares to be issued to DRP participants by purchasing them in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The purchase price for the Class C Common Stock issued directly by the Company is 97% of the Market Price (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) of the Class C Common Stock, reflecting a 3% discount (or such other discount as may then be in effect). This discount is subject to change from time to time, in the Company’s sole discretion, but will be between 0% to 5% of the Market Price.
The purchase price for the Class C Common Stock that the Company or any third-party administrator purchases from parties other than the Company, either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, will be 100% of the “average price per share” (as described in the Second Amended and Restated DRP) actually paid for such shares of Class C Common Stock, excluding any processing fees. The Second Amended and Restated DRP also reflects the $0.05 per share processing fee that will be paid to the Company's transfer agent by DRP participants for each share of Class C Common Stock purchased through the DRP. The Second Amended and Restated DRP was effective beginning with distributions paid in February 2022.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 21, 2022, the Company's board of directors authorized up to $15,000,000 in repurchases of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (“2023 SRP”). Repurchases made pursuant to the 2023 SRP were made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any other manner as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases were determined by the Company in its discretion and were subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Under the 2023 SRP, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 93,357 shares of its Class C Common Stock for an aggregate value of $1,129,162 at an average cost of $12.10 per share.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's board of directors has not authorized a new stock repurchase program for the repurchase of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
All adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2024. Please see the Company's Annual Report for significant accounting policies as the significant accounting policies are consistent with those in the Annual Report.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year statement of operations accounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not affect net income (loss) in the prior year consolidated statement of operations. Interest expense, including unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swaps and net of derivative settlements, was presented in the prior year as a component of operating expenses and was reclassified as other income (expense). Management fee income was reclassified from other income (expense) to total income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Immaterial Error Correction
The statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 has been corrected to subtract, rather than add, the amortization of unrealized holding gain on interest rate swap from net loss. As a result, the comprehensive loss attributable to Modiv Industrial, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased from $3,549,552 to $3,975,892. This correction is limited to the statement of comprehensive loss and did not have any impact on the Company’s balance sheet, statements of operations, cash flows or equity. Consequently, this correction did not impact income from continuing operations, net income, or per share amounts and it did not impact any key performance metrics including FFO, AFFO, leverage and debt covenants. Similar immaterial corrections will be made for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 when the Company files its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 was properly presented. Management discovered these presentation errors during the preparation of the Company's quarterly financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and related reconciliations of the 2023 amounts.

Operating Leases:
The Company’s real estate properties are primarily leased to tenants under net leases for which terms and expirations vary. The Company monitors the credit of all tenants to stay abreast of any material changes in credit quality. The Company monitors tenant credit by (1) reviewing the credit ratings of tenants (or their parent companies or lease guarantors) that are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies; (2) reviewing financial statements and related metrics and information that are publicly available or that are required to be provided pursuant to the lease; (3) monitoring news reports and press releases regarding the tenants (or their parent companies or lease guarantors), and their underlying business and industry; and (4) monitoring the timeliness of rent collections. Except for properties leased to Solar Turbines Incorporated in San Diego, California and State of California's Office of Emergency Services in Rancho Cordova, California, all of the Company's operating leases contain options to extend the lease terms of one- to six-5 year extensions or one- to two-10 year extensions.
The Company is continuing to explore potential lease extensions for certain of its other properties.

The TIC Interest | | | | | | $ | 73,854 | | | $ | 55,567 | |
TIC Interest
During 2017, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, acquired an approximate 72.7% TIC Interest. The remaining approximate 27.3% undivided interest in the Santa Clara, California property is held by third parties. The Santa Clara property does not qualify as a variable interest entity and consolidation is not required as the Company's TIC Interest does not control the property. Therefore, the Company accounts for the TIC Interest using the equity method. The property lease expiration date is March 16, 2026, and the lease provides for three five-year renewal options. The mortgage on this property bears interest at 3.86% and has a maturity date of October 1, 2027.
The Company receives an approximate 72.7% of the cash flow distributions and recognizes approximately 72.7% of the results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received cash distributions of $304,667 and $65,696, respectively, from the TIC Interest.
The following is summarized financial information for the Santa Clara property as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

NOTE 5. INVESTMENT IN PREFERRED STOCK
The Company’s investment in preferred stock as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Preferred Stock |
| | | | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Fair value of GIPR preferred shares | | | | $ | — | | | $ | 11,038,658 | |
On August 10, 2023, the Company disposed of 13 properties consisting of 11 retail properties and two office properties in a sale to Generation Income Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GIPR) (“GIPR”). These 13 properties were sold for $42,000,000 with $30,000,000 paid in cash and the remaining $12,000,000 paid in 2,400,000 shares of GIPR's newly-created Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “GIPR Preferred Stock”) with a liquidation preference of $5.00 per share and an annual dividend yield of 9.5% from August 10, 2023 to August 9, 2024, and an annual dividend rate of 12.0% thereafter.
The investment in GIPR Preferred Stock did not qualify as a variable interest entity since GIPR is a publicly owned REIT with a majority of independent directors. The Company's investment allowed no voting or control over GIPR, therefore, consolidation was not required. The Company elected to record its investment in preferred stock at fair value. The fair value of the GIPR Preferred Stock at the closing date of the sale of the Company's 13 properties was included in the net proceeds from sale to determine the loss on sale.
On December 29, 2023, GIPR notified the Company of its intent to exercise its right to redeem all 2,400,000 shares of the GIPR Preferred Stock for 2,794,597 shares of GIPR common stock (the “GIPR Common Stock”) on January 31, 2024. On December 29, 2023, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution of 0.28 shares of GIPR Common Stock for each share of the Company’s Common Stock or Class C OP Units held as of the record date of January 17, 2024. GIPR redeemed all 2,400,000 shares of the GIPR Preferred Stock on January 31, 2024 based on the (i) product of the volume weighted average price per share of GIPR common stock for the 60 days of trading prior to GIPR's redemption notice which was $3.9036 per share and (ii) 110% resulting in $4.2940 per share. The GIPR Preferred Stock liquidation value of $12,000,000 divided by the price per share of $4.2940 resulted in 2,794,597 GIPR shares of Common Stock issued to the Company on January 31, 2024.
Consistent with treatment of the GIPR Preferred Stock, the Company recorded the investment in GIPR Common Stock at fair value. The Company then made an immediate distribution of the majority of GIPR's shares of Common Stock to the Company’s stockholders and holders of Class C OP Units as of the January 17, 2024 record date based on the distribution ratio of 0.28 GIPR shares for each share of the Company’s Class C Common Stock or unit of Class C OP Units resulting in 2,623,153 shares distributed. The value of the 171,444 shares of GIPR Common Stock retained by the Company is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Company's balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 (see Note 6 for additional details).

Credit Facility, Net
The Company's Operating Partnership entered into an agreement for a line of credit (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) on January 18, 2022, which was amended on October 21, 2022, primarily to increase the line of credit. The Credit Agreement currently provides a $400,000,000 line of credit comprised of a $150,000,000 four-year revolving line of credit, which may be extended by up to 12 months subject to certain conditions (the ‘‘Revolver’’) and a $250,000,000 five-year term loan (the ‘‘Term Loan’’ and together with the ‘‘Revolver,’’ the ‘‘Credit Facility’’) with KeyBank and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the ‘‘Lenders’’), including KeyBank as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the ‘‘Agent’’). The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness and capital expenditures.
The Credit Facility includes an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional Revolver and Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750,000,000 subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of new commitments from the Lenders. The Company's Revolver and Term Loan’s maturity is in January 2026 and in January 2027, respectively, with options to extend the Revolver for a total of 12 months.
On December 20, 2022, the Credit Agreement was again amended to allow the Company to draw on the additional $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment up to five times by April 19, 2023, in exchange for a quarterly unused fee. The $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment was fully drawn by April 19, 2023 and unused fees amounted to $92,569 during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on the Company's actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With the Company's leverage ratio at 48% as of December 31, 2023, the spread over the secured overnight financing rate (‘‘SOFR’’), including a 10-basis point credit adjustment, is 185 basis points and the interest rate on the Revolver was 7.1625% on March 31, 2024; however, there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. The Company also pays an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and incurred total unused fees of $94,792 and $93,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a swap agreement, effective from May 31, 2022 to January 17, 2027, subject to the Company counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 2.258% with respect to its original $150,000,000 Term Loan. The Company has begun to explore, and intends to further explore, various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option. The swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 4.058% on the Term Loan based on the Company's leverage ratio of 48% as of March 31, 2024.
On October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a second swap agreement, effective from November 30, 2022 to November 30, 2027, subject to the Company counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 3.44% with respect to its expanded Term Loan. The Company has begun to explore, and intends to further explore, various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option. The swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 5.240% on the additional $100,000,000 borrowed under the expanded Term Loan based on the Company's leverage ratio of 48% as of March 31, 2024.
The Credit Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants regarding minimum fixed charge coverage of 1.50x, minimum tangible net worth of $208,629,727 plus 85% of net offering proceeds after January 18, 2022, and maximum consolidated leverage of 60%. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the Operating Partnership’s equity interests in certain of the single-purpose, property-owning entities (the ‘‘Subsidiary Guarantors’’) that are indirectly owned by the Company, and various cash collateral owned by the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors. In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors entered into an Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance in favor of the Agent, pursuant to which the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agreed to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Compliance with All Debt Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of mortgage notes payable on certain of the Company’s properties and the Credit Facility, the Company and/or the subsidiary borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. The Company and/or the subsidiary borrowers were in compliance with such financial loan covenants as of March 31, 2024.

Interest expense, net | | | | | | $ | 2,307,149 | | | $ | 4,018,792 | |
(1) The Company entered into two swap transaction instruments for (i) its original $150,000,000 Credit Facility Term Loan (first swap) effective May 31, 2022 and (ii) its additional $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment (second swap) effective November 30, 2022, as described in Note 8.
(2) Due to the Company's $150,000,000 derivative instrument's failure to qualify as a cash flow hedge because it was deemed ineffective for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as described in Note 8, the $3,804 and $1,144,018 losses on the swap valuation for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are recognized as an increase in interest expense. Furthermore, the unrealized gain on interest rate swap derivative previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and noncontrolling interest in operating partnership is being amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to interest expense through the maturity date of the loan agreement (see Note 8 for more details).
(3) The Company's $100,000,000 derivative instrument was not designated as a cash flow hedge and, therefore, the $(1,040,075) gain and $828,476 loss on the valuation of this swap for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are reflected as a (reduction) increase in interest expense (see Note 8 for more details).
NOTE 8. INTEREST RATE SWAP DERIVATIVES
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, entered into a five-year swap agreement on May 10, 2022 to fix SOFR at 2.258% effective May 31, 2022 related to the variable interest rate on its original $150,000,000 Term Loan. The swap agreement matures on January 15, 2027 and the financial institution counterparty has a one-time option to cancel the swap on December 31, 2024. The Company designated the pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap with the terms described in the table below as of July 1, 2022 as a cash flow hedge which was effective through December 31, 2022. The derivative instrument failed to qualify as a cash flow hedge during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2024 as described below.
The Company, through its Operating Partnership, entered into another five-year swap agreement on October 26, 2022 to fix SOFR at 3.440% effective November 30, 2022 related to the variable interest rate on its additional $100,000,000 Term Loan commitment. The Company did not designate the pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap with the terms described in the table below as of November 30, 2022 as a cash flow hedge. The swap agreement matures on November 30, 2027, and the financial institution counterparty has a one-time option to cancel the swap on December 31, 2024.
The Company has begun to explore, and intends to further explore, various alternatives available to extend or restructure both cancellation options discussed above.
The following table summarizes the notional amount and other information related to the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(i)The notional amount of the Company’s swaps correspond to the principal balance on the Term Loan. The minimum notional amount (outstanding principal balance at the maturity date) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $250,000,000.
(ii)Based on the terms of the Credit Facility, the fixed pay rate increases if the Company's leverage ratio increases above 50%.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments (Level 2 measurement), as well as their classification in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 | | |
Derivative Instrument | | Balance Sheet Location | | Number of Instruments | | Fair Value | | Number of Instruments | | Fair Value | | Change in Fair Value |
Interest Rate Swaps | | Asset - Interest rate swap derivatives, at fair value | | 2 | | $ | 3,533,656 | | | 1 | | $ | 2,970,733 | | | $ | 562,923 | |
Interest Rate Swap | | Liability - Interest rate swap derivatives, at fair value | | — | | $ | — | | | 1 | | $ | (473,348) | | | $ | 473,348 | |
The interest rate swap derivative on the original $150,000,000 Term Loan was designated as a cash flow hedge for financial accounting purposes from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. Based on the Company's prospective effectiveness testing of the derivative instrument during each of the quarters in the fifteen months ended March 31, 2024, the derivative instrument failed to qualify as a cash flow hedge because the swap was deemed ineffective due to the potential for a reduced term of the swap that could result from the cancellation option described above as compared with the maturity of the Term Loan.
As a result, the net change in fair value of the first Term Loan swap resulted in a losses of $3,804 and $1,144,018 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts were recorded as a component of interest expense and resulted in increases to interest expense in the Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Interest expense was also reduced by the $253,092 and $253,311 amortization of the unrealized gain on this swap for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as further described below.
Due to the above $150,000,000 Term Loan derivative instrument's failure to qualify as a cash flow hedge for the five quarterly periods ended March 31, 2024, the unrealized gain on interest rate swap derivative of $4,105,103 as of December 31, 2022 (recorded in the Company's financial statements as follows: (i) $3,502,616 of accumulated other comprehensive income and (ii) $602,487 of noncontrolling interest in operating partnership) is being amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction to interest expense through the maturity date of the swap agreement. There is no income tax expense resulting from this amortization.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's unamortized unrealized gain on interest rate swap derivative in accumulated other comprehensive income and noncontrolling interest in operating partnership in the Company's consolidated balance sheet amounted to $2,836,860. The Company estimates that $764,840 of the remaining unrealized gain on interest rate swap derivative will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income and noncontrolling interest in operating partnership as a reduction to interest expense in the Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations over the next nine months in 2024.
The second interest rate swap derivative on the additional $100,000,000 Term Loan was not designated as a cash flow hedge for financial accounting purposes. The (increase) decrease in the fair value of $(1,040,075) and $828,476 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were recorded as unrealized (gain) and loss, respectively, on interest rate swap valuation and reflected as a (reduction) increase in interest expense in the Company's accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The unrealized gain during the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects an overall increase in the forward curve for future SOFR rates through December 31, 2024 (the one-time cancellation option date).
NOTE 9. PREFERRED STOCK AND COMMON STOCK
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In connection with an underwritten public offering in September 2021 (discussed below in detail), the Company classified and designated 2,000,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 2,000,000 shares of authorized Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
Series A Preferred Stock - Terms
Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends in the amount of $1.84375 per share each year, which is equivalent to the rate of 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share per annum. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless redeemed, converted or otherwise repurchased. Except in limited circumstances relating to the Company's qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as described in the articles supplementary governing the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Articles Supplementary”), the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to September 17, 2026.
On and after September 17, 2026, at any time and from time to time, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at a cash redemption price of $25 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event or a Change of Control (each as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the Company may, subject to certain conditions, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, (i) after the first date on which the Delisting Event occurred or (ii) on, or within 120 days after, the first date on which the Change of Control occurred, as applicable, by paying the liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid (whether or not authorized or declared), if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control during a continuing Delisting Event, unless the Company has elected to exercise its redemption right, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have certain rights to convert the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Delisting Event, the dividend rate will be increased on the day after the occurrence of the Delisting Event by 2.00% per annum to the rate of 9.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share per annum (equivalent to $2.34375 per share each year) from and after the date of the Delisting Event. Following the cure of such Delisting Event, the dividend rate will revert to the rate of 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share per annum. The necessary conditions to convert the Series A Preferred Stock into the Company's Class C Common Stock have not been met as of March 31, 2024.
The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's Class C Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Voting rights for holders of Series A Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to the ability to elect two additional directors to the board of directors if six or more quarterly dividends (whether or not authorized or declared or consecutive) payable on the Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, and with respect to voting on amendments to the Company’s charter (which includes the Articles Supplementary) that materially and adversely affect the rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or create additional classes or series of shares of the Company’s capital stock that are senior to the Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the limited circumstances described above and in the Articles Supplementary, holders of Series A Preferred Stock do not have any voting rights.
Series A Preferred Stock Dividends
Dividends on the Company's Series A Preferred Stock accrue in an amount equal to $1.84375 per share each year ($0.460938 per share each quarter) to holders of Series A Preferred Stock, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25 liquidation preference per share per annum. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year (or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day) to holders of record on the applicable record date. Any accrued and unpaid dividends payable with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock become part of the liquidation preference thereof.
On March 1, 2024 and March 9, 2023, the Company’s board of directors declared Series A Preferred Stock dividends payable of $921,875 for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023. The amounts were accrued as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and were paid on April 15, 2024 (see Note 14) and April 17, 2023, respectively.
Common Stock Offerings
On March 30, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263985), and on May 27, 2022, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3, to issue and sell from time to time, together or separately, the following securities at an aggregate public offering price that will not exceed $200,000,000: Class C Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units. The Form S-3, as amended, became effective on June 2, 2022 and the Company filed a prospectus supplement for the Company's at-the-market offering of up to $50,000,000 of its Class C Common Stock (the “ATM Offering”) on June 6, 2022 (the “ATM Prospectus”).
On November 13, 2023, the Company filed Supplement No. 1 to the ATM Prospectus to reflect the Amended and Restated At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, dated November 13, 2023, and the change in the Company's corporate name. During January 2024, the Company sold and issued 76,991 shares of Class C Common Stock for $1,137,028 net of sales commissions of $23,205, resulting in net proceeds of $933,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, after legal, accounting, investor relations and other offering costs of $203,664.
On March 12, 2024, the Company filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 for the purpose of converting the Registration Statement on Form S-3 into Registration Statement on Form S-11 because, upon filing the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company was no longer eligible to use Form S-3. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 includes an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class C Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Company's DRP, and 395,457 of those shares of common stock have been issued through March 31, 2024. The Company Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on Form S-11 became effective on March 21, 2024.

Transactions with Other Related Parties
On January 31, 2022, the Company acquired an industrial property and related equipment leased to Kalera Inc. (“Kalera”) in Saint Paul, Minnesota, for $8,079,000. Kalera was introduced to the Company by Curtis B. McWilliams, one of the Company’s independent directors. Since Mr. McWilliams was serving as an executive of Kalera at the time of the acquisition, all of the disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors approved this transaction in January 2022.
On April 4, 2023, Kalera filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code and Mr. McWilliams was appointed as Kalera’s independent director as Kalera continued to operate its business while in bankruptcy. Mr. McWilliams served as Kalera Inc.’s independent director from April 2023 until December 2023 and recused himself from any matters that related to the Company’s property in Saint Paul, Minnesota which was previously leased to Kalera (see in Note 11 for additional information on the Saint Paul, Minnesota property).

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, a real estate property owner may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances at, on, in or under such property as well as certain other potential costs relating to hazardous or toxic substances. These liabilities may include government fines, penalties and damages for injuries to persons and adjacent property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the property owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or disposal of such substances. Although most of the tenants of properties in which the Company has an interest are primarily responsible for any environmental damage and claims related to the leased premises, in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of the tenant of such leased premises to satisfy any obligations with respect to such environmental liability, or if the tenant is found not responsible, the Company's property owner subsidiary may be required to satisfy any of such obligations, should they exist. In addition, the property owner subsidiary, as the owner of such property, may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims irrespective of the terms and provisions of any lease. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was not aware of any environmental matter relating to any of its real estate investments that would have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations, the uses and conditions of properties in the vicinity of the Company’s properties, the activities of its tenants and other environmental conditions of which the Company is unaware with respect to the properties could result in future environmental liabilities.
Tenant Improvements
Pursuant to lease agreements, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had obligations to pay $2,355,380 and $2,439,098, respectively, for on-site building and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants.
Legal Matters
From time-to-time, the Company or its subsidiaries may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Except for the Kalera bankruptcy proceeding, the Company, including its subsidiaries, is not a party to any legal proceeding, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.
Kalera filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on April 4, 2023. During June 2023, Kalera conducted an auction of all of its assets, and the sale of Kalera’s assets to the winning bidder, Kalera’s lender, was approved by the bankruptcy court on June 30, 2023. The sale of Kalera’s assets closed on September 29, 2023 and did not include its interest in the Company's lease for the Saint Paul, Minnesota property.
On October 31, 2023, Kalera filed a motion with the bankruptcy court to reject the Company’s lease and abandon all of its property located at the premises effective as of October 31, 2023, subject to approval of the motion by the bankruptcy court. On November 21, 2023, the Company filed (i) a limited objection to retroactive rejection of its lease and (ii) a motion to compel Kalera to pay post-petition rent and related charges with the bankruptcy court. The Company and Kalera entered into a settlement agreement for these claims on March 18, 2024, which was approved by the bankruptcy court on April 12, 2024. Kalera’s October 31, 2023 motion to reject the Company’s lease remains subject to bankruptcy court approval.
NOTE 12. OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS
Prior to March 31, 2024, the Company had issued three types of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Class M OP Units,” “Class P OP Units,” and “Class R OP Units”), all of which automatically converted to units of Class C limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Class C OP Units”), and some of which were then exchanged for the Company's Class C Common Stock as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 13. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company reports a dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS uses the if-converted method to compute for the potential dilution that would occur if holders of Class C OP Units exercise their right to exchange for Class C Common Stock (see Note 12 for additional information).
The following table presents the computation of the Company's basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the weighted average dilutive effect of 2,818,689 shares related to units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership discussed in Note 12 were excluded from the computation of Diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. There were no other outstanding securities or commitments to issue common stock that would have a dilutive effect for the period then ended.

Real Estate Acquisition
On April 26, 2024, the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire an industrial manufacturing property in a sale and leaseback transaction for $6,400,000 with a company that produces optical systems for the defense and aerospace industries. The property is located in the Tampa Florida metropolitan area and the tenant is expected to enter into a 20-year lease at an initial cap rate of 8.13% and a weighted average cap rate of 10.75%, with annual rent escalations of 2.85%.

As a result of the City of Issaquah’s setback requirements, the number of townhomes planned for the property had to be reduced. The Company and the homebuilder therefore agreed to reduce the sales price from $28,650,000 to $25,300,000, with the ability to increase the purchase price by $325,000 for each additional townhome the buyer can add to the development prior to closing. The buyer completed its due diligence on April 26, 2024 and deposited $1,407,500 into escrow on May 1, 2024, bringing the total non-refundable deposit to $1,432,500. Completing the sale remains subject to the buyer obtaining development approvals and the sale will not close until 15 days following the earlier of (a) buyer obtaining all necessary development approvals, or (b) tenant vacating the property, but not prior to February 1, 2025, and not later than August 15, 2025 unless extended. The amendment to the purchase and sale agreement provides that the buyer can extend the outside closing date up to three times for 60 days for each extension. The nonrefundable extension fee for the first extension is $300,000 with 50% applicable to the purchase price. The nonrefundable extension fees for the second and third extensions are $200,000 and$300,000, respectively, and none of these extension fees will be applicable to the purchase price. The buyer is not affiliated with the Company or its affiliates.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

On January 10, 2024 and February 28, 2024, we sold one industrial real estate property and one office real estate property with aggregate leasable area of 163,230 square feet for aggregate contract sales prices of $15,025,000 with net proceeds of $14,782,626 (net of commissions and closing costs) and net gains on sales of $3,187,806.
Recent Events and Uncertainties
There are continuing significant uncertainties in the market in which we operate related to inflation and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and negative impacts associated with the violence and unrest in the Middle East, the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine and sanctions which have been implemented by the United States and other countries against Russia and Iran. Volatility in stock and bond markets, and particularly the uncertainty regarding if and when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates may negatively impact our operating results, liquidity and sources of borrowings.
The debt market remains sensitive to the macro environment, such as inflation, Federal Reserve interest rate policy, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on office properties, market sentiment and regulatory factors affecting the banking and commercial mortgage-backed securities industries. We, our tenants and operating partners are impacted by currently elevated inflation and interest rates. While the rate of inflation has declined from historic highs, inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target and there is significant uncertainty over the future rate of inflation. Depending on the future course of inflation, as well as other macroeconomic factors, the Federal Reserve may refrain from reducing interest rates to try to rein in inflation, which actions could contribute to a recession and would negatively impact our future results due to higher borrowing costs on any future borrowing. As of March 31, 2024, 100% of our $281,200,000 outstanding debt is at fixed rates with a weighted average rate of 4.52% as a result of the swap agreements entered into in May 2022 and October 2022. However, these swap agreements are subject to cancellation on December 31, 2024 and we could be subject to increases in interest rates thereafter if we do not extend or restructure the cancellation options.
In addition, elevated interest rates would make the costs of future borrowing and refinancing of our current indebtedness more expensive for us. Any future uncertainties in the capital markets may cause difficulty in refinancing debt obligations prior to maturity at terms as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. If we are not able to refinance our indebtedness on attractive terms, or at all, at the various maturity dates, we may be forced to dispose of some of our assets. Market conditions can change quickly, potentially negatively impacting the value of real estate investments. However, we do not have any debt maturities prior to January 2027.
Possible future declines in rental rates and expectations of future rental concessions, including free rent to renew tenants early, to retain tenants who are up for renewal or to attract new tenants, may result in decreases in cash flows from our three office properties. We expect these impacts to be less significant to us because our real estate portfolio includes only three office properties, one of which, our office property in Issaquah, Washington is under contract to be sold as described in Note 14 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our office property in Rancho Cordova, California is leased to the State of California’s Office of Emergency Services (“OES”) until December 31, 2034.
Potential future declines in economic conditions could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio, which could have the following negative effects on us: the values of our investments in commercial properties could decrease below the amounts paid for such investments; and/or revenues from our properties could decrease due to fewer tenants and/or lower rental rates, making it more difficult for us to make distributions or meet our debt service obligations. In addition, sustained elevated inflation rates may negatively impact our longer term leases if contractual rent increases are not sufficient to keep up with market leases.
We successfully negotiated lease extensions for three properties during 2023; however, changing circumstances may make future lease extensions more difficult. We have no leases expiring in the next 12 months.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Generally, our cash requirements for property acquisitions, debt payments and refinancings, capital expenditures and other investments will be funded by bank borrowings through our Credit Facility, mortgage indebtedness on our properties, real estate property sales and internally generated funds, or potential offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock.
Purchases of properties in the near-term will be funded primarily with cash on hand and potential proceeds from dispositions of remaining non-core properties. In the future, we expect to sell additional shares of our Class C Common Stock, subject to market conditions. We have $150 million of borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility (defined below) which we may utilize in the near or medium-term if we identify attractive investment opportunities in advance of completing dispositions or raising additional equity, which could result in temporary increases in leverage.
Our cash requirements for operating and interest expenses, dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and distributions on our Class C Common Stock will be funded by internally generated funds. We expect to have adequate liquidity to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.
Credit Facility and Mortgages
Modiv Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (our “Operating Partnership”), entered into an agreement for a line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”) on January 18, 2022, which was amended on October 21, 2022, and currently provides a $400,000,000 line of credit agreement comprised of a $150,000,000 four-year revolving line of credit (the ‘‘Revolver’’), which may be extended by up to 12 months subject to certain conditions, and a $250,000,000 five-year term loan (‘‘Term Loan’’) with KeyBank National Association (‘‘KeyBank’’) and the other lending institutions party thereto (collectively, the ‘‘Lenders’’), including KeyBank as Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”), as further described in Note 7 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, repayment of existing indebtedness and capital expenditures.
The Credit Facility includes an accordion option that allows us to request additional Revolver and Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750,000,000 subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of new commitments from the Lenders. The Revolver’s maturity is in January 2026 with options to extend for a total of 12 months, and the Term Loan’s maturity is in January 2027.
The Credit Facility is priced on a leverage-based grid that fluctuates based on our actual leverage ratio at the end of the prior quarter. With our leverage ratio at 48% as of December 31, 2023, the spread over SOFR, including a 10-basis point credit adjustment, is 185 basis points for the Revolver. Therefore, the interest rate on the Revolver was 7.1625% as of April 30, 2024; although there was no outstanding balance on the Revolver. We also pay an annual unused fee of up to 25 basis points on the Revolver, depending on the daily amount of the unused commitment, and paid total unused fees of $94,792 and $93,667 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
On May 10, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from May 31, 2022 to January 17, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 2.258% with respect to our original $150,000,000 Term Loan. We granted the cancellation option because it reduced the swap rate by approximately 50 basis points. We have begun to explore, and intend to further explore, various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option. This swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 4.058% on our original $150,000,000 Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 48% as of March 31, 2024, as described in Note 8 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
On October 26, 2022, we entered into a swap agreement, effective from November 30, 2022 to November 30, 2027, subject to our counterparty’s one-time cancellation option on December 31, 2024, to fix SOFR at 3.44% with respect to our expanded Term Loan. We granted the cancellation option because it reduced the swap rate by approximately 50 basis points. We have begun to explore, and intend to further explore, various alternatives available to extend or restructure the cancellation option. This swap agreement resulted in a fixed interest rate of 5.24% on the additional $100,000,000 borrowed under the expanded Term Loan based on our leverage ratio of 48% as of March 31, 2024, as described in Note 8 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of our mortgage notes payable on the operating properties was $31,153,337 and $31,200,000, respectively, our Revolver outstanding principal balance was zero, and our Term Loan outstanding principal balance was $250,000,000 as of both balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our approximately 72.7% pro-rata share of the TIC Interest’s mortgage note payable was $9,197,045 and $9,256,466, respectively, which is not included in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Compliance with All Debt Agreements
Pursuant to the terms of our Credit Facility and our two mortgage notes payable secured by certain of our properties, we and/or our subsidiary borrowers are subject to certain financial loan covenants. We and/or our subsidiary borrowers were in compliance with such financial loan covenants as of March 31, 2024.
Acquisitions and Sales of Real Estate Investments
Acquisitions:
We did not acquire any real estate property during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
On April 26, 2024, we entered into a letter of intent to acquire an industrial manufacturing property in a sale and leaseback transaction for $6,400,000 with a company that produces optical systems for the defense and aerospace industries. The property is located in the Tampa Florida metropolitan area and the tenant is expected to enter into a 20-year lease at an initial cap rate of 8.13% and a weighted average cap rate of 10.75%, with annual rent escalations of 2.85%. We define “initial cap rate” for property acquisitions as the initial annual cash rent divided by the purchase price of the property and we define “weighted average cap rate” as the average annual cash rent including rent escalations over the lease term, divided by the purchase price of the property. The transaction remains subject to negotiation of a definitive purchase and sale agreement, completion of due diligence and customary closing conditions. We plan to fund this acquisition with available cash on hand.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we acquired two industrial manufacturing real estate properties for $11,913,362. These properties are located in Princeton, Minnesota and Savage, Minnesota and had a weighted average lease term of approximately 12.9 years.
Dispositions:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we sold two real estate properties (one industrial and one office) comprised of 163,230 square feet for aggregate contract sales prices of $15,025,000, with net proceeds of $14,782,626 (net of commissions and closing costs) and net gains on sales of $3,187,806 (see Note 3 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details of these dispositions).
We did not dispose any real estate property during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvements
Other than as discussed below, we do not have other plans to incur any significant costs to renovate, improve or develop our properties. We believe that our properties are adequately insured. Pursuant to lease agreements, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had obligations to pay $2,355,380 and $2,439,098, respectively, for future on-site building and tenant improvements to be incurred by tenants. We expect that such improvements will be funded with cash on hand, operating cash flow, borrowings under our Credit Facility or potential offerings of shares of Class C Common Stock.
In addition, we have identified approximately $859,223 of capital expenditures that are expected to be completed in the next 12 months which are not recoverable from tenants with double-net leases. These improvements will be funded from cash on hand or operating cash flows. More information on our properties and investments can be found in Note 3 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Cash Flow Summary
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 2,986,984 | | | $ | 2,784,870 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | 14,681,483 | | | $ | (12,120,523) | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | (2,392,891) | | | $ | 14,007,109 | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $202,114 primarily reflects an increase in rental income and decrease in property expenses during the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The net cash provided by investing activities during the first three months of 2024 primarily reflects the net proceeds from two real estate property sales aggregating $14,782,626 during the quarter. There were no dispositions during the first quarter of 2023. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months of 2023 primarily reflects funds used for two acquisitions during the first quarter of 2023.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2024 primarily reflects our dividends and distributions paid to preferred and common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders, partially offset by net proceeds from offering of common stock. The net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2023 primarily reflects our net borrowings of $17,000,000 from the Credit Facility, partially offset by funds used to repurchase common stock and dividends and distributions paid to preferred and common stockholders and Class C OP Unit holders.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
In order to provide a more complete understanding of the operating performance of a REIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) promulgated a measure known as Funds from Operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures, preferred dividends and real estate impairments. Because FFO calculations adjust for such items as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current Nareit definition or may interpret the current Nareit definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, stock-based compensation, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation intangibles, deferred financing fees, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, and write-offs of due diligence expenses for abandoned pursuits. We also believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance of the REIT industry. Further, we believe AFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and ability to sustain our current distribution level. More specifically, AFFO isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results or our future ability to pay our dividends. By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to income or loss from operations, net income or loss and cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. AFFO is useful in assisting management and investors in assessing our ongoing ability to generate cash flow from operations and continue as a going concern in future operating periods. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund distributions since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. Therefore, FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than income or loss from operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, Nareit, nor any other applicable body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, the SEC or Nareit may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.
The following are the calculations of FFO and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Property Portfolio Information
Although we only have a single segment for financial reporting purposes, given our strategic initiative to focus solely on acquiring and operating industrial manufacturing properties, we are presenting the following information regarding our property portfolio to help investors better understand our strategic direction:

(1) We categorize Tactical Non-Core Assets as those assets that offer compelling value-add or opportunistic investment characteristics when measured over a near-term or interim holding period. We currently hold three such assets: (i) our tactical non-core acquisition of a leading KIA auto dealership located in a prime location in Los Angeles County acquired in January 2022, which was structured as an UPREIT transaction resulting in a favorable equity issuance of $32,809,550 of units of Class C limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Class C OP Units”) at a cost basis of $25 per share; (ii) our 12-year lease with OES executed in January 2023 for one of our existing assets located in Rancho Cordova, California that includes an attractive purchase option; we expect to hear in the near-term if OES plans to exercise their option since the option period begins on May 1, 2024; and (iii) our property leased to Costco located in Issaquah, Washington which offers compelling redevelopment opportunities following Costco's lease expiration given its higher density infill location and the fact that the land is zoned to allow for multi-family development. We have entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Costco property with KB Home, a national homebuilder (See Note 14 of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details of the potential sale).
(2) Other non-core asset includes (1) one legacy office property leased to Solar Turbines and (2) the results from the legacy office property leased to Cummins which was sold on February 28, 2024 (see Note 3 of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details of this sale). We define legacy assets as those inherited through prior mergers and acquisitions activity and such assets that were acquired by different management teams utilizing different investment objectives or underwriting criteria.
(3) We do not allocate non-property expenses across our property-specific segments; therefore, we report these expenses separately under the Non-Property & Other caption in the table above. Such expenses can include stock compensation expense, general and administrative, unrealized gains and losses on interest rate hedges, and other comprehensive items.
(4) Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding includes the following:
(i) 8,568,353 shares of Class C Common Stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024;
(ii) 2,790,905 Operating Partnership Units for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
