Risk Factors Dashboard
Once a year, publicly traded companies issue a comprehensive report of their business, called a 10-K. A component mandated in the 10-K is the ‘Risk Factors’ section, where companies disclose any major potential risks that they may face. This dashboard highlights all major changes and additions in new 10K reports, allowing investors to quickly identify new potential risks and opportunities.

If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed, and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by the following:
Risks Relating to Ownership Structure
The controlling shareholder group may be able to vote its shares in favor of its interests that may not align with the interests of shareholders not part of such group. The controlling shareholder group includes a corporation that owns a significant percentage of the Company’s common stock and which does business with the Company, as further described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2026 Annual Report to Shareholders. The controlling shareholder group includes a corporation that owns a significant percentage of the Company’s common stock and which does business with the Company, as further described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain conflicts of interest may be perceived by the relationship between the Company and its largest shareholder. A shareholder not a part of the controlling group will be outvoted on any issue in which it disagrees with such the controlling shareholder group.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
We are a part of the communities in which we do business. Accordingly, like other businesses in our communities, we are subject to the following risks:
| · | changes in the rate of economic growth in the commercial real estate leasing market, and interest rates both nationally and locally; |
| · | existing indebtedness, including the potential for accelerated maturities; |
| · | the ability to obtain additional financing to fund our necessary capital expenditure projects on reasonable terms or at all, including but not limited to the success of any proposed strategic transactions with respect to our properties; |
| · | changes in the financial condition of our customers; |
| · | changes in the regulatory environment and particularly burdens of increasing local, state, and federal requirements and taxes; |
| · | increasing trend of lease cancellations and loss of key tenants at our properties; |
| · | changes in our estimates of costs; |
| · | loss of key personnel; |
| · | war and/or terrorist attacks, global, national and local political unrest and protests could significantly impact buildings leased to tenants; |
| · | the continued availability of insurance for various policies at reasonable rates; |
| · | outcomes of pending and future litigation; |
| · | increasing competition by other landlords and building management companies, including the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies among competitors; |
| · | compliance with our loan covenants; |
| · | impact of climate change on our properties and the geographic regions in which we operate; |
| · | recoverability of claims against our customers and others by us and claims by third parties against us; |
| · | changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies; |
| · | cybersecurity and data privacy breach threats or incidents; and |
| · | pandemics and the related trends of office versus remote work practices. |

Our investment in property development may be limited by increasing costs required to make improvements to property leased to tenants. Also, as the cost of fitting up properties increases, we may be required to wait and forsake opportunities that would be revenue producing until such time that we obtain the necessary financing of such ventures. This risk may be mitigated by obtaining lines of credit and other financing vehicles, although such have significant limitations on the amounts that may be borrowed at any point in time.
We also may be subject to environmental liability as an owner or operator of properties. Many of our properties are old and when we need to fit up a property for a new tenant, we may find materials and the like that could be deemed to contain hazardous elements requiring remediation or encapsulation.
As online retail operations continue to expand nationwide, retailers are facing increased competition which reduces the need for the leasing of properties. Remote work practices have resulted in tenants’ careful evaluation and reduction of office space needs and a decline in demand of commercial office space rentals from increasing competition. Remote work since the pandemic has resulted in tenants’ careful evaluation and reduction of office space needs and a decline in demand of commercial office space rentals from increasing competition. The Company emphasizes retention of tenants over a long period of time which helps in difficult economic conditions.
We try to lease our properties to tenants with adequate finances. As a result of the current high interest rate environment and less liquidity available to smaller businesses, even formerly financially strong tenants may be at risk.
