14. RISKS AND UNCERTANTIES



COVID-19

The novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) has continued to impact the U.S. and global economies. The U.S. financial markets have experienced disruption and constrained credit conditions within certain sectors. Although more normalized activities have resumed, at this time the Company cannot predict the full extent of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and its properties and the COVID-19 pandemic could have a delayed adverse impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company will continue to monitor the pandemic’s effects and will adjust its operations as necessary.

 

The full impact of COVID-19 on the real estate industry, the credit markets and consequently on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is uncertain and cannot be predicted at the current time as it depends on several factors beyond the control of the Company including, but not limited to (i) the uncertainty around the severity and duration of the pandemic and the emergence and

severity of COVID-19 variants, (ii) the effectiveness of the United States public health response, including the rate and level of persons receiving vaccinations and the efficacy of such vaccines, (iii) the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, (iv) the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the pandemic, (v) the timing and speed of economic recovery, and (vi) the negative impact of the above on our properties.



Credit Risk

Credit risk - Financial assets that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and certain portions of accounts receivable including rents receivable from our tenants. Risk to collection of rents receivable is mitigated by: (i) dispersion of rents receivable across many tenants, (ii) marketing targeted to tenants that have established credit, (iii) use of autopay, and (iv) use of collection procedures. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are on deposit with highly rated commercial banks.
