The vested share restrictions will be removed upon the first annual anniversary of the award. Results of Operations Our management team's evaluation of operating results includes an assessment of our ability to generate cash flow necessary to pay operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, debt service, and to fund dividends to our stockholders. As a result, our management team's assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effects of unrealized gains and losses and other non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but have no impact on cash flows. Our management team's evaluation of our potential for generating cash flow includes on-going assessments of our existing portfolio of properties, our non-stabilized properties, long-term sustainability of our real estate portfolio, our future operating cash flow from anticipated acquisitions, and the proceeds from the sales of our real estate assets. In addition, our management team evaluates our portfolio and individual properties' results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality and quantity of properties in our real estate holdings. Our management team focuses its efforts on improving underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals and rental rates. Properties that have reached goals in occupancy and rental rates are evaluated for potential added value appreciation and, if lacking such potential, are sold with the equity reinvested in properties that have better potential without foregoing cash flow. Our ability to increase assets under management is affected by our ability to raise borrowings and/or capital, coupled with our ability to identify appropriate investments. 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our results of operations for the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021 are not indicative of those expected in future periods, as we expect that rental income, interest expense, rental operating expense, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization will significantly change in future periods as a result of growth through future acquisitions of real estate related investments.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended
Revenue
For twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 , total revenue from operations was$5,432,462 as compared to$3,900,096 for the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2021 . Revenue increased by$1,532,366 for the twelve-months endedDecember 31, 2022 from the acquisition of four additional properties partially offset by the revenue generated from one property sold inAugust 2021 .
Expenses
During the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021 expenses incurred were as follows: Twelve months ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change General and administrative expense$ 1,647,987 $ 1,111,029 $ 536,958 Building expenses 1,208,192 768,182 440,010 Depreciation and amortization 2,110,975 1,508,340 602,635 Interest expense, net 1,620,237 1,310,950 309,287 Compensation costs 1,310,796 849,701 461,095 Total expenses$ 7,898,187 $ 5,548,202 $ 2,349,985 • General and administrative expense increased by$536,958 due to an increase in legal and audit expense, an increase in corporate filing fees incurred for our first annual report and shareholders' meeting, an increase in insurance expense, and an increase in investor relations expense offset by a decrease in consulting services.
•
Building expenses increased by$440,010 due to an increase in tenant reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf of tenants from the acquisition of four additional properties. Reimbursement revenues included in Rental income offset related Building expense.
•
Depreciation and amortization increased by$602,635 from the acquisition of four additional properties offset in part by the expense incurred by one property sold inAugust 2021 .
•
Interest expense, net increased by$309,287 due to interest on the mortgage loans from the four additional properties offset by the reduction in interest expense due from the mortgage loans refinanced or adjusted to a lower interest rate and further offset by the interest expense from the mortgage loan associated with the one property sold inAugust 2021 . Additionally, during the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 , we incurred a guaranty fee expense payable to our President and CEO of$128,901 which was recorded to interest expense.

Gain on Disposal of Property

Income on Investment in Tenancy in Common
For the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, our share of earnings on our investment in tenancy in common acquired in August of 2021 and accounted for under the equity method generated income of$37,298 and$12,495 , respectively. 38

Net Loss Attributable to Non-controlling Interests
For the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, we allocated net income attributable to non-controlling interest of$490,462 and$513,581 , respectively. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the redeemable non-controlling interest for the property sold inAugust 2021 and a reduction for partners who redeemed certain non-controlling interests during the year. The decrease was offset by an increase from additional redeemable non-controlling interests issued to finance the acquisition of properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require capital to fund our investment activities and operating expenses. Our capital sources may include net proceeds from offerings of our equity securities, cash flow from operations and borrowings under credit facilities. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we had total cash (unrestricted and restricted) of$3,752,996 , properties with a cost basis of$56,917,321 and outstanding debt of$36,733,878 .

OnOctober 26, 2021 , theOperating Partnership entered into a Commitment Letter withAmerican Momentum Bank (the "Lender") for a$25 million master commitment credit facility (the "Facility") to be used for the acquisition of income producing real estate properties. Borrowings under the Facility will accrue interest at a variable rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime rate, adjusted monthly, subject to a floor interest rate of 3.25% per annum. OnMay 9, 2022 , theOperating Partnership amended the Facility with the Lender, by entering into a new Facility, to increase the available borrowings from$25.0 million to$50.0 million to be used for the acquisition of income producing real estate properties under the same terms as provided by the agreement entered into onOctober 26, 2021 . The new Commitment Letter will become effective contingent upon the Company completing a future capital raise of$25.0 million or more, and prior to such time, the current Commitment Letter will remain in place. OnSeptember 9, 2022 , we and the Lender combined the prior commitment letters entered into inOctober 2021 andMay 2022 into a single Commitment Letter, and have amended the rate index used for borrowing to be a variable rate equal to the 30-Day CME Term SOFR Rate, plus a margin of 2.40%, adjusted monthly, subject to a floor interest rate of 3.25% per annum. All other terms under the prior commitment letters remained materially the same. As ofDecember 31, 2022 we did not have an outstanding balance on the Facility and as ofDecember 31, 2021 we had borrowed approximately$2.4 million , respectively, under the Facility. OnApril 1, 2022 , we entered into two loan agreements with an aggregate balance of$13.5 million as ofDecember 31, 2022 to refinance seven of the Company's properties. The loan agreements consist of one loan in the amount of$11.4 million secured by six properties and allocated to each property based on each property's appraised value, and one loan in the amount of$2.1 million on the property held in the tenancy-in-common investment at an interest rate of 3.85% fromApril 1, 2022 through and untilMarch 31, 2027 . EffectiveApril 1, 2027 and through the maturity date ofMarch 31, 2032 , the interest rate adjusts to the 5-yearTreasury plus 2.5% and is subject to a floor of 3.85%. During the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 , the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of$144,029 related to the write off of unamortized debt issuance costs previously incurred on refinanced mortgage loans including a prepayment penalty incurred of$21,000 . Our President and CEO has personally guaranteed the repayment of the$11.0 million due under the 7-11 -Washington, DC ; Starbucks-South Tampa, FL ; and Pratt & Whitney-Huntsville, AL loan as well as the$1.3 million loan secured by our Sherwin-Williams -Tampa, FL mortgage loan. In addition, our President and CEO has also provided a guaranty of the Borrower's nonrecourse carveout liabilities and obligations in favor of the lender for the GSA &MAERSK andPRA Holdings, Inc. -Norfolk, VA mortgage loans with an aggregate principal amount of$12.3 million as well as six mortgage loans secured by the remaining properties within the portfolio with an aggregate principal amount of 11.4 million. The Company's CEO entered into a guaranty agreement pursuant to which he guaranteed the payment obligations under the promissory notes if they become due as a result of certain "bad-boy" provisions, individually and on behalf of theOperating Partnership . During the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 , we incurred a guaranty fee expense payable to our President and CEO of$128,901 recorded to interest expense. No guaranty fee expense was incurred during the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2021 . OnAugust 9, 2022 , we entered a Redemption Agreement with a unit holder. As such, we recorded an Other payable - related party in the amount of$2,912,300 upon execution of the Redemption Agreement entered intoJuly 20, 2022 and made the first installment payment of$325,000 onSeptember 13, 2022 with a remaining balance of$2,587,300 outstanding as ofDecember 31, 2022 . OnOctober 14, 2022 , we entered into a loan transaction that is evidenced by a secured non-convertible promissory note toBrown Family Enterprises, LLC , a preferred equity partner and therefore a related party, for$1.5 million that is due onOctober 14, 2024 , and bears a 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fixed interest rate of 9%, simple interest. Interest is payable monthly. The loan may be repaid without penalty at any time. The loan is secured by theOperating Partnership's equity interest in its current direct subsidiaries that hold real estate assets pursuant to the terms of a security agreement between theOperating Partnership andBrown Family Enterprises, LLC . We currently obtain the capital required to primarily invest in and manage a diversified portfolio of commercial net lease real estate investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of equity offerings, debt financings, preferred minority interest obtained from third parties, issuance ofOperating Partnership units and from any undistributed funds from our operations. We anticipate that our current cash on hand and availability under the Facility combined with the revenue generated from investment properties and proceeds from debt arrangements will provide sufficient liquidity to meet future funding commitments for at least the next 12 months.

The change is primarily due to the acquisition of three properties in 2022 for$12,850,360 as compared to the acquisition of three properties in 2021 for$8,288,954 offset by the proceeds of$5,245,856 from the sale of one property during the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2021 .
Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was$5,826,284 and$13,606,159 for the twelve months endedDecember 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the net proceeds from debt financing in 2022 of$7,844,271 as compared to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants in 2021 of$14,375,857 . 41

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As a company primarily involved in owning income generating real estate assets, management considers the following accounting policies critical as they reflect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. Investments in Real Estate. Acquisitions of real estate are recorded at cost. The Company assigns the purchase price of real estate to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on fair value. Tangible assets consist of land, buildings, site improvements and tenant improvements. Intangible assets and liabilities consist of the value of in-place leases and above or below market leases assumed with the acquisition. At the time of acquisition, the Company assesses whether the purchase of the real estate falls within the definition of a business under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805 and to date has concluded that all asset transactions are asset acquisitions. Therefore, each acquisition has been recorded at the purchase price whereas assets and liabilities, inclusive of closing costs, are allocated to land, building, site improvements, tenant improvements and intangible assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value of the in-place leases are estimated as the cost to replace the leases including loss of rent, commissions and legal fees. The in-place leases are amortized over the remaining team of the leases as amortization expense. The fair value of the above- or below- market lease is estimated as the present value of the difference between the contractual amount to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease and the estimated current market lease rate expected over the remaining non-cancelable life of the lease. The capitalized above or below market lease values are amortized as a decrease or increase to rental income over the remaining term of the lease inclusive of the renewal option periods that are considered probable at acquisition.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our reported results are presented in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also disclose funds from operations ("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), core funds from operations ("Core FFO") and core adjusted funds of operations ("Core AFFO") all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO and related measures do not represent cash generated from operating activities and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements; accordingly, they should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss as a performance measure or cash flows from operations as reported on our statement of cash flows as a liquidity measure and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by theBoard of Governors of theNational Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude extraordinary items (as defined by GAAP), net gains from sales of depreciable real estate assets, impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate assets, and real estate related depreciation and amortization, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries. We then adjust FFO for non-cash revenues and expenses such as amortization of deferred financing costs, above and below market lease intangible amortization, straight line rent adjustment where the Company is both the lessor and lessee, and non-cash stock compensation to calculate Core AFFO. FFO is used by management, investors, and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers primarily because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions. We believe that AFFO is an additional useful supplemental measure for investors to consider because it will help them to better assess our operating performance without the distortions created by other non-cash revenues or expenses. FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. We believe that Core FFO and Core AFFO are useful measures for management and investors because they further remove the effect of non-cash expenses and certain other expenses that are not directly related to real estate operations. We use each as measures of our performance when we formulate corporate goals. As FFO excludes depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions that are available for distribution to stockholders and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss. However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties which could be significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations. Additionally, FFO does not reflect distributions paid to redeemable non-controlling interests.
The following tables reconcile net income (net loss), which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure, to FFO, Core FFO, AFFO and Core AFFO:

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act")
InApril 2012 , the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act") was enacted into law. The JOBS Act provides, among other things, exemptions for emerging growth companies from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years. In general, under the JOBS Act a company is an emerging growth company if its initial public offering ("IPO") of common equity securities was effected afterDecember 8, 2011 and the company had less than$1.07 billion of total annual gross revenues during its last completed fiscal year. We currently qualify as an emerging growth company, but will no longer qualify after the earliest of:
•
the last day of the fiscal year during which we have annual total gross revenues
of
•
the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our common equity securities in an offering registered under the Securities Act;
•
the date on which we issue more than
•
the date on which we become a large accelerated filer, which generally is a
company with a public float of at least
As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to include audited financial statements required for only two fiscal years and limited executive compensation information.
Pursuant to the relief for emerging growth companies under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to file an attestation report on our internal controls over financial reporting and is exempt from the mandatory auditor rotation rules.
In addition, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standard. The decision by companies to "opt out" of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable. We are not electing to opt out of the JOBS Act extended accounting transition period. We intend to take advantage of the extended transition period provided under the JOBS Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. To the extent we take advantage of the reduced disclosure requirements afforded by the JOBS Act, investors may be less likely to invest in us or may view our shares as a riskier investment than a similarly situated company that does not take advantage of these provisions.
