NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 19, 2018. On May 17, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”). The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions. Prior to the completion of the IPO and the formation transactions, the Company had no operations.

The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of OP Units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. As of September 30, 2023, the Company held an approximately 81.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 1,434 properties located in 49 states and one territory. The Company’s properties are leased primarily to a single tenant, the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”). The Company also owns several, and may in the future further acquire, land parcels that may be added to existing or future leases with the USPS or used for other purposes that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.

In addition, through its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), Real Estate Asset Counseling, LLC (“REAC”), the Company provides fee-based third-party property management services for an additional 397 properties, which are owned by Andrew Spodek, the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO"), and his affiliates, and certain advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.

Pursuant to the Company’s articles of amendment and restatement, the Company is currently authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 27,206 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Voting Equivalency stock”), and up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with the Company's short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its REIT taxable income for each tax year to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. Additionally, any income earned by the TRS and any other TRS the Company forms in the future will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose, as the Company has done, to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE

that could be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company relate to the Operating Partnership.

A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2023. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates are related to the valuation of investments in real estate properties and impairment of long-lived assets. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering and Other Costs

Offering costs are recorded in “Total Stockholders’ Equity” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Deferred Costs

Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt, including the term loan facility component of the Company's existing credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest rate method, and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility component (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of the Credit Facilities are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Escrows and Reserves

Cash includes unrestricted cash with a maturity of three months or less. Escrows and reserves consist of restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and escrows and reserves reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Revenue Recognition

The Company has operating lease agreements with tenants, some of which contain provisions for future rental increases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, certain lease agreements provide for reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, which are recorded on an accrual basis as part of “Rental income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s determination of the probability to collect lease payments is impacted by numerous factors, including the Company's assessment of the tenant’s creditworthiness, economic conditions, historical experience with the tenant, future prospects for the tenant and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable of collection are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income. For certain leases with lease incentive costs, such costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.

Fee and other primarily consists of (i) property management fees, (ii) income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases and (iii) fees earned from providing advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.

The management fees arise from contractual agreements with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s CEO. Management fee income is recognized as earned under the respective agreements.

Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease inception, the Company records an asset within "Investment in financing leases, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the Company’s net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future minimum lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property, if any, less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and interest is recognized as revenue in “Fee and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and produces a constant periodic rate of return on the "Investment in financing leases, net".

Revenue from advisory services is generated from service contracts generally based on (i) time and expense arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues based on hours incurred and contracted rates), (ii) fixed-fee arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues earned to date by applying the proportional performance method) or (iii) performance-based or contingent arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the client receives the benefit of the promised service). Reimbursable expenses for the advisory services, including those relating to travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues and in general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

POSTAL REALTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(CONTINUED)

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets (excluding derivatives), accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facilities approximates carrying value because such borrowings are subject to a variable market rate, which reprices frequently. The fair value was determined using the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, plus an applicable spread under the Credit Facilities, a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings aggregated approximately $26.7 million and $27.5 million as compared to the principal balance of $33.0 million and $33.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s secured debt was categorized as a Level 3 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

The Company's derivative assets and liabilities, comprised of interest rate swap derivative instruments entered into in connection with the Credit Facilities, are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected amount of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities was categorized as a Level 2 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative assets was approximately $11.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap derivative liabilities was approximately $0.1 million included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Disclosures about fair value of assets and liabilities are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2023 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further details.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the

10

POSTAL REALTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(CONTINUED)

time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risks

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s properties were leased primarily to a single tenant, the USPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 13.5% of the Company’s total rental income, or $6.0 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 15.4% of the Company's total rental income, or $5.6 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of its leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in Pennsylvania or other regions where the Company operates in and could have a material effect on the Company’s overall business results.

The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of equity-based compensation expense as such forfeitures occur.

The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal to the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.

See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity for further details.

Insurance Accounting

The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to certain losses, including those relating to property damage and business interruption. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is not recorded in other income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Insurance recoveries for business interruption for lost revenue or profit are accounted for as gain contingencies in their entirety, and therefore are not recorded in income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company.

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, long term incentive units of the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend and dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units and RSUs are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted EPS is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. See Note 10. Earnings Per Share for further details.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The guidance changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaced the previous "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" approach. The guidance also requires entities to disclose information about how they developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. ASU No. 2018-19 excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of this guidance. This guidance became effective for the Company and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company had two direct financing leases with a net investment balance aggregating approximately $16.1 million prior to any credit loss adjustment. Historically, the Company has had no collection issues related to these direct financing leases and its other leases in which the Company is the lessor; therefore, the Company assessed the probability of default on these leases based on the lessee’s status as an independent agency of the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, financial condition and business prospects and the remaining term of the leases. Based on the aforementioned, the Company did not recognize any credit loss adjustment for such leases.

Explanatory Notes:

(1)On August 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Facilities, which included the $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan"). On May 11, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Facilities to, among other things, add a new $75.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), replace the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark interest rate and allow for a decrease in the applicable margin by 0.02% if the Company achieves certain sustainability targets. On December 6, 2022, the Company exercised $40.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment") to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Facilities and further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2021 Term Loan and, on a delayed-draw basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan (which was fully drawn down on September 27, 2023).

The Credit Facilities include an accordion feature which permits the Company to borrow up to an additional $150.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary terms and conditions. As of September 30, 2023, the accordion feature under the Term Loans has been fully exercised. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2026, which may be extended for two six-month periods subject to customary conditions, the 2021 Term Loan matures in January 2027 and the 2022 Term Loan matures in February 2028. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities carry an interest rate of, (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% per annum, or (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 0.95% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 1.95% per annum, in each case depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company will pay, if the usage is equal to or less than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.20% per annum, or if the usage is greater than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facilities contain a number of customary financial and non-financial covenants.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.07 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.06 million and

$0.2 million, respectively, of unused facility fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facilities’ debt covenants.

(2)Based upon the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, which is SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”). Upon the Company's achievement of certain sustainability targets for 2022, the applicable margins for the Credit Facilities were reduced by 0.02% for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is reflected in the margins noted in the table above.

(3)Five properties are collateralized under this loan and Mr. Spodek also provided a personal guarantee of payment for 50% of the outstanding amount thereunder. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the five year weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, as made available to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Five-Year Treasury Rate"), plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(4)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.625% for the first five years (ending in August 2026), then adjusting annually thereafter to a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate with a minimum annual rate of 3.625%.

(5)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the Five-Year Treasury Rate, plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(6)In connection with the acquisition of a property, the Company obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount of $0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $0.1 million with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0% interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025.

(7)The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on an industrial property located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 2.80% with interest-only payments for the first five years and fixed payments of principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule.

The weighted average maturity date for the Company's indebtedness as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately 4.6 years and 5.5 years, respectively.

The scheduled principal repayments of indebtedness as of September 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

Explanatory Note:

(1)Reflects the all-in effective interest rate for the specified portion of the Term Loans hedged by the interest rate swaps.

The Company’s objectives in using the interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company uses the interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with any gain or loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Credit Facilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $5.1 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as a decrease to interest expense.

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Amount of gain recognized on derivative in "Accumulated other comprehensive income"	$	3,345	$	5,397	$	5,897	$	8,198
Amount of income (loss) reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive income" into interest expense	$	1,275	$	45	$	3,265	$	(169)

"Interest expense, net" presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded, totaled $2.6 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.8 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 7. Leases

Lessor Accounting

As of September 30, 2023, the Company's properties were leased primarily to the USPS, with leases expiring at various dates through May 31, 2031. Certain leases had expired and were in holdover status as of September 30, 2023 as discussed below. Certain leases contain renewal, termination and/or purchase options exercisable at the lessee’s election.

Therefore, such options are only recognized once they are deemed reasonably certain, typically at the time the option is exercised. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases with the exception of two that are direct financing leases. The Company's operating leases and direct financing leases are described below.

Rental income related to the Company’s leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single combined operating lease component under Topic 842. As a result, rental income and tenant reimbursements were aggregated into a single line within rental income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The following table represents rental revenue that the Company recognized related to its operating leases (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Fixed payments	$	13,299	$	11,435	$	38,703	$	31,581

	$	15,438	$	13,181	$	44,699	$	36,665

Future minimum lease payments to be received as of September 30, 2023 under non-cancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount (1)(2)(3)
2023 - Remaining	$	12,148
2024	46,309
2025	39,645
2026	31,298
2027	17,646
Thereafter	17,101
Total	$	164,147

Explanatory Notes:

(1)The above minimum lease payments to be received do not include reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other reimbursed expenses.

(2)As of September 30, 2023, the leases at 51 of the Company's properties were expired, and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant. As such, the above minimum lease payments to be received do not include payments under these holdover leases. Holdover rent is typically paid as the greater of estimated market rent or the rent amount due under the expired lease.

(3)In August 2023, the Company received notice from the USPS to terminate the lease for one property effective in February 2024.

Purchase Option Provisions

As of September 30, 2023, operating leases for 72 of the Company’s properties provided the USPS with the option to purchase the underlying property either at fair market value or at fixed prices, in each case as of dates set forth in the lease agreement. As of September 30, 2023, 68 of these properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $53.3 million with an aggregate purchase option price of approximately $66.6 million and the remaining four properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $2.9 million with purchase options exercisable at fair market value.

Investment in Financing Leases, Net

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, financing leases for two of the Company's properties provide the USPS with the option to purchase the underlying property at fixed prices as of dates set forth in the lease agreement. The components of the Company’s net investment in financing leases as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
Total minimum lease payment receivable	$	32,362	$	33,215
Less: unearned income	(16,300)		(17,085)
Investment in financing leases, net	$	16,062	$	16,130

Revenue earned under direct financing leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is recorded in "Fee and other" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Future lease payments to be received under the Company’s direct financing leases as of September 30, 2023 for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount
2023 – Remaining	$	284

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which were classified as operating leases. As of September 30, 2023, these leases had remaining terms, including renewal options, of less than a year to 55 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.9 years. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expense and other, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
ROU asset – operating leases	$	857	$	1,010
Lease liability – operating leases	$	863	$	1,014

The difference between the recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of the below market ground lease intangible asset which was included within the ROU assets recognized upon transition.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a discount rate ranging from 4.25% to 6.37% based on the yield of its current borrowings in determining its lease liabilities.

Note 8. Income Taxes

TRS

In connection with the IPO, the Company and REAC jointly elected to treat REAC as a TRS. REAC performs management services, including for properties the Company does not own, and advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties. REAC generates income, resulting in federal and state corporate income tax liability for REAC. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, income tax expense related to REAC was $0.02 million and $0.05 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, income tax (benefit) expense related to REAC was $(0.02) million and $0.01 million, respectively.

Other

In connection with the IPO, the indirect sole shareholder of United Postal Holdings, Inc. ("UPH"), a portion of the Company's predecessor, agreed to reimburse the Company for unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to the utilization of certain loss carryforwards at UPH. The Company recorded an indemnification asset in the same amount as the unrecognized tax benefits. The indirect sole shareholder of UPH will be responsible for all tax related matters related to UPH.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had remaining unrecognized tax benefits of $0.02 million, which were inclusive of interest and penalties, and a corresponding indemnification asset, which were included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reversed the remaining $0.02 million of unrecognized tax benefits and the corresponding indemnification asset due to the expiration of statute of limitations.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

Management Fee Income

REAC recognized management fee income of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, from various parties which were affiliated with the Company's CEO. These amounts are included in “Fee and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Related Party Lease

On May 17, 2019, the Company entered into a lease for office space in Cedarhurst, New York with an entity affiliated with the Company’s CEO (the “Office Lease”). Pursuant to the Office Lease, the monthly rent is $15,000 subject to escalations. The term of the Office Lease is five years commencing on May 17, 2019 and will expire on May 16, 2024. Rental expenses associated with the Office Lease for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $0.05 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and was recorded in “General and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company determined this Office Lease was an operating lease. For further details, see Note 7. Leases.

Guarantees

As disclosed above in Note 5. Debt, Mr. Spodek personally guaranteed a portion of or the entire amount outstanding under the Company's loans with First Oklahoma Bank and Vision Bank, totaling $1.9 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As a guarantor, Mr. Spodek's interests with respect to the amount of debt he is guaranteeing (and the terms of any repayment or default) may not align with the Company’s interests and could result in a conflict of interest.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of income from operations used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data).

Basic and diluted earnings per share	$	0.04	$	0.04	$	0.08	$	0.10

Explanatory Note:

(1) Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted shares and RSUs issued under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity) and the impact of the Company's forward sale agreements. The effect of such shares and RSUs would not be dilutive and were not included in the computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented in the table above. OP Units and LTIP Units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of Class A common stock on an one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units and LTIP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as non-controlling interests in these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units and LTIP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted EPS.

Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity

ATM Program

On November 4, 2022, the Company entered into separate open market sale agreements for its at-the-market offering program (the "ATM Program") with each of Jefferies LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Truist Securities, Inc., as agents, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of its Class A common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $50.0 million. The

agreements also provide that the Company may enter into one or more forward sale agreements under separate master forward confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with affiliates of certain agents. On August 8, 2023, the Company amended the ATM Program to increase the aggregate offering amount under the program from up to $50.0 million to up to $150.0 million.

The following table summarizes the activity under the ATM Program for the period presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 1,114,997 shares and 1,435,304 shares were issued under the ATM program, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 227,473 shares were issued under the ATM program. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $117.3 million remaining that may be issued under the ATM Program.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had an additional 198,847 shares of forward sales transactions that had yet been settled. On October 11, 2023, the remaining 198,847 shares were settled for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million.

The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the time when it entered into the forward sales transactions under the ATM Program. The Company determined that such forward sales transactions met the criteria for equity classification and, therefore, were exempt from derivative accounting. The Company recorded the forward sales transactions at fair value at inception, which was determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

Dividends

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company declared and paid dividends of $6.1 million and $17.9 million, respectively, to Class A common stockholders, Voting Equivalency stockholders, OP unitholders and LTIP unitholders, or $0.2375 per share or unit and $0.713 per share or unit, respectively, as shown in the table below.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests in the Company represent OP Units held by the Company's prior investors and certain sellers of properties to the Company and LTIP Units primarily issued to the Company’s employees and the Board of Directors in connection with the IPO and/or in lieu of their cash compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 143,288 LTIP Units to the Company’s CEO for his 2022 incentive bonus, his election to defer 100% of his 2023 annual salary and for long term incentive compensation, 75,489 LTIP Units to the Company’s president for his 2022 incentive bonus and his election to defer 50% of his 2023 annual salary, 57,057 LTIP Units to the Company's Chief Financial

This represented approximately 18.2% and 19.2% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. OP Units and shares of Class A common stock generally have the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will generally have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for cash, or at the Company's sole discretion, shares of Class A common stock, on an one-for-one basis determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 402,433 OP Units were redeemed for 402,433 shares of Class A common stock. For redemption of OP Units using shares of Class A common stock, the Company adjusted the carrying value of non-controlling interests to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Partnership reflecting the change in the Company’s ownership of the Operating Partnership. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reallocation of non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 37,500 OP Units were also redeemed for cash for the total amount of $0.6 million.

The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to their percentage ownership of OP Units.

Pursuant to the Company’s Plan, the Company may grant equity incentive awards to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining shares available under the Plan for future issuance was 1,025,868. The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards, other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units) and dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of performance units and other equity-based awards.

There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent, that the Company will close the transactions contemplated by such contracts on time, or that the Company will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract.

Note 13. Business Acquisition

On March 4, 2022, the Company acquired a postal real estate consulting business and its employees through the issuance of 79,794 OP Units and $0.2 million in cash for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.7 million to complement the Company's core business of acquiring, managing, servicing and being a consolidator of postal properties.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset related to the customer relationships and trade name of approximately $0.2 million in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which is being amortized over the estimated useful life of four years, and goodwill of approximately $1.5 million. The goodwill recorded is deductible for income tax purposes. All assets acquired in connection with the business acquisition were assigned to the Company’s single reportable segment. The results of operations of this acquired business have been included since the acquisition date. Pro forma information has not been presented for this business acquisition because such information is not material to the financial statements.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

In addition to the subsequent events discussed elsewhere in the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, the following events occurred subsequent to September 30, 2023:

The Company's Board of Directors approved, and on October 23, 2023, the Company declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.2375 per share, which is payable on November 30, 2023 to stockholders of record as of November 1, 2023.

As of October 30, 2023, the Company had $200.0 million drawn on the Credit Facilities, with $75.0 million drawn on the 2021 Term Loan, $125.0 million drawn on the 2022 Term Loan and no amount drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of October 30, 2023 and during the period subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company acquired six leased properties for approximately $1.9 million, excluding closing costs.

As of October 30, 2023 and during the period subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company had entered into definitive agreements to acquire 19 properties for approximately $5.3 million. However, the Company can provide no assurances that the acquisitions of these properties will be consummated on the terms and timing the Company expects, or at all.

Overview

Company

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 19, 2018 and commenced operations upon completion of our initial public offering and the related formation transactions. We conduct our business through a traditional UPREIT structure in which our properties are owned by our Operating Partnership directly or through limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we acquired 148 properties leased to the USPS for approximately $58.4 million, including closing costs. As of September 30, 2023, our portfolio consists of 1,434

27

owned properties, located in 49 states and one territory and comprising approximately 5.7 million net leasable interior square feet.

We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership through which our properties are directly or indirectly owned. As of October 30, 2023, we owned approximately 81.9% of outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”), including long term incentive units of our Operating Partnership (the “LTIP Units”). Our Board of Directors oversees our business and affairs.

ATM Program

On November 4, 2022, we entered into separate open market sale agreements for our at-the-market offering program (the "ATM Program") with each of Jefferies LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Truist Securities, Inc., as agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $50.0 million. The agreements also provide that we may enter into one or more forward sale agreements under separate master forward confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with affiliates of certain agents. On August 8, 2023, we amended the ATM Program to increase the aggregate offering amount under the program from up to $50.0 million to up to $150.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 1,435,304 shares were issued under the ATM Program (including 600,000 shares that were issued in September 2023 in settlement of forward sales transactions that we entered into in July 2023). As of September 30, 2023, we had an additional 198,847 shares of forward sales transactions that had yet been settled. On October 11, 2023, the remaining 198,847 shares were settled for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $117.3 million of availability remaining under the ATM Program.

Executive Overview

We are an internally managed REIT with a focus on acquiring and managing properties leased primarily to the USPS, ranging from last-mile post offices to larger industrial facilities. We believe the overall opportunity for consolidation that exists within the postal logistics network is very attractive. We continue to execute our strategy to acquire and consolidate postal properties that we believe will generate strong earnings for our shareholders.

Geographic Concentration

As of September 30, 2023, we owned a portfolio of 1,434 properties located in 49 states and one territory and leased primarily to the USPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 13.5% of our total rental income was concentrated in Pennsylvania.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have availed ourselves of these exemptions; although, subject to certain restrictions, we may elect to stop availing ourselves of these exemptions in the future even while we remain an “emerging growth company.”

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenue equals or exceeds $1.235 billion (subject to periodic adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

28

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and have elected to take advantage of certain scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

We elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), beginning with our short taxable year ended December 31, 2019 and intend to continue to qualify as a REIT. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that we distribute our taxable income for each tax year to our stockholders.

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations

The USPS

We are dependent on the USPS’ financial and operational stability. The USPS is currently facing a variety of circumstances that are threatening its ability to fund its operations and other obligations as currently conducted without intervention by the federal government. The USPS is constrained by laws and regulations that restrict revenue sources and pricing, mandate certain expenses and cap its borrowing capacity. As a result, among other consequences, the USPS is unable to fund its mandated expenses and continues to be subject to mandated payments to its retirement system and benefits. While the USPS has recently undertaken, and proposes to undertake, a number of operational reforms and cost reduction measures, such as higher rates and slower deliveries for certain services and closure, relocation or consolidation of certain facilities and delivery units, the USPS has taken the position such measures alone will not be sufficient to maintain its ability to meet all of its existing obligations when due or allow it to make the critical infrastructure investments that have been deferred in recent years. These measures have also led to significant criticism and litigation, which may result in reputational or financial harm or increased regulatory scrutiny of the USPS or reduced demand for its services. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to prevent its spread have also had a material and unpredictable effect on the USPS’ operations and liquidity, including significant additional operating expenses caused by pandemic-related disruptions. The COVID-19 pandemic and other geopolitical and economic factors have also created significant inflationary pressures resulting in higher compensation, benefits, transportation and fuel costs for the USPS. If the USPS becomes unable to meet its financial obligations or its revenue declines due to reduced demand for its services, the USPS may reduce its demand for leasing postal properties, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. For additional information regarding the risks associated with the USPS, see the section entitled “Risk Factors - Risks Related to the USPS” under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues

We derive revenues primarily from rent and tenant reimbursements under leases with the USPS for our properties and fee and other from the management of postal properties owned by Andrew Spodek, our chief executive officer, and his affiliates managed by our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases and revenue from providing certain advisory services. Rental income represents the lease revenue recognized under the leases primarily with the USPS which includes the impact of above and below market lease intangibles as well as reimbursements to us made by our tenants for the real estate taxes paid at each property where tenants are responsible for such taxes under the leases. Certain of our leases include annual rent escalators. Fee and other principally represents (i) revenue our TRS received from postal properties owned by Mr. Spodek and his affiliates pursuant to the management agreements and is a percentage of the lease revenue for the managed properties, (ii) revenue our TRS received from providing advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties and (iii) income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases. As of September 30, 2023, properties leased to our tenants had an average remaining lease term of approximately 3.2 years. Factors that could affect our rental income and fee and other in the future include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to renew or replace expiring leases and management agreements; (ii) local, regional or national economic conditions; (iii) an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, postal space; (iv) changes in market rental rates; (v) changes to the USPS’ current property leasing program or form of lease; and (vi) our ability to provide adequate services and maintenance at our properties and managed properties.

Operating Expenses

We lease our properties primarily to the USPS. The majority of our leases are modified double-net leases, whereby the tenant is responsible for utilities, routine maintenance and reimbursement of property taxes and the landlord is responsible for insurance, roof and structure. Thus, an increase in costs related to the landlord’s responsibilities under these leases could negatively influence our operating results. Refer to “Lease Renewal” below for further discussion.

Operating expenses generally consist of real estate taxes, property operating expenses, which consist of insurance, repairs and maintenance (other than those for which the tenant is responsible), property maintenance-related payroll and

29

depreciation and amortization. Factors that may affect our ability to control these operating costs include but are not limited to: the cost of periodic repair, age and durability of our properties, renovation costs, the cost of re-leasing space, inflation and the potential for liability under applicable laws. Recoveries from the tenant are recognized as revenue on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related expenditures are incurred. Tenant reimbursements and the related property operating expenses are recognized on a gross basis, because (i) generally, we are the primary obligor with respect to the real estate taxes and (ii) we bear the credit risk in the event the tenant does not reimburse the real estate taxes.

The expenses of owning and operating a property are not necessarily reduced when circumstances, such as market factors and competition, cause a reduction in income from the property. If revenues drop, we may not be able to reduce our expenses accordingly. Costs associated with real estate investments generally will not be materially reduced even if a property is not fully occupied or other circumstances cause our revenues to decrease. As a result, if revenues decrease in the future, static operating costs may adversely affect our future cash flow and results of operations.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense represents personnel costs, professional fees, legal fees, insurance, consulting fees, information technology costs and other expenses related to our day-to-day activities of being a public company. While we expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to rise as our portfolio grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our revenues will decrease over time due to efficiencies and economies of scale.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

All equity-based compensation expense is recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as components of general and administrative expense and property operating expenses. We issue share-based awards to align our directors' and employees’ interests with those of our investors.

Indebtedness and Interest Expense

On August 9, 2021, we entered into a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan"). On May 11, 2022, we amended the Credit Facilities (the "First Amendment") to, among other things, add a new $75.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2021 Term Loan, the “Credit Facilities”), replace the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark interest rate and allow for a decrease in the applicable margin by 0.02% if we achieve certain sustainability targets. On December 6, 2022, we exercised $40.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, we amended the Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment") to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Facilities and further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2021 Term Loan and, on a delayed-draw basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan.

We intend to use the Credit Facilities for working capital purposes, which may include repayment of mortgage indebtedness, property acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. We amortize on a non-cash basis the deferred financing costs associated with our debt to interest expense using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method over the terms of the related loans. Any changes to the debt structure, including debt financing associated with property acquisitions, could materially influence the operating results depending on the terms of any such indebtedness.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our net taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders. Under the Code, REITs are subject to numerous organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they distribute each year at least 90% of their REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income for that year will be taxed at regular corporate rates, and we would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT. Even though we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may still be subject to state and local taxes on our income and assets and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. Additionally, any income earned by our existing TRS and any other TRS we form in the future will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.

30

Lease Renewal

As of October 30, 2023, the leases at 60 of our properties, representing approximately 522,000 net leasable interior square feet, were expired and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant. As of the date of this report, the USPS had not vacated or notified us of its intention to vacate any of these properties. When a lease expires, the USPS becomes a holdover tenant on a month-to-month basis typically paying the greater of estimated market rent or the rent amount under the expired lease.

While we currently anticipate that we will renew the leases that have expired or will expire, there can be no guarantee that we will be successful in renewing these leases, obtaining positive rent renewal spreads or renewing the leases on terms comparable to those of the expiring leases. Even if we are able to renew these expired leases, the lease terms may not be comparable to those of the previous leases. If we are not successful, we will likely experience reduced occupancy, rental income and net operating income, as well as diminished borrowing capacity under our Credit Facilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to shareholders. Refer to “Risk Factors - Risks Related to the USPS” under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information regarding the risks associated with the USPS.

General and administrative – General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to expanding our staff, an increase in information technology related costs as a result of our continued growth and an increase in equity-based compensation expense related to awards that have been granted to our employees throughout 2022 and 2023.

Depreciation and amortization – Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.6 million to $14.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the volume of our acquisitions.

Other Income

Other income primarily includes insurance recoveries related to property damage claims. Other income decreased by $0.2 million to $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to lower insurance recoveries.

Total Interest Expense, Net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred total interest expense, net of $7.3 million compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense is primarily related due to additional borrowings under the Credit Facilities and increased interest rates.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

We had $2.5 million of cash and $0.4 million of escrows and reserves as of September 30, 2023 compared to $4.6 million of cash and $0.3 million of escrows and reserves as of September 30, 2022.

Cash flows from operating activities – Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $2.8 million to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $18.6 million for the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to the volume our acquisitions, all of which have generated additional rental income and related changes in working capital.

Cash flows to investing activities – Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of $54.9 million of acquisitions and $2.4 million of escrow deposits for acquisition and construction, capital improvements and other investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of $96.4 million of acquisitions and $4.1 million of escrow deposits for acquisition and construction, capital improvements and other investing activities, offset by $0.6 million of insurance proceeds that were received.

Cash flows from financing activities – Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $42.9 million to $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $79.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily related to less proceeds received on the Credit Facilities and an increase in dividends and distributions. This is offset by an increase in net proceeds received from issuance of shares in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately $2.5 million of cash and $0.4 million of escrows and reserves as of September 30, 2023.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

On August 9, 2021, we entered into the Credit Facilities, which include the $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and the $50.0 million 2021 Term Loan, with Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and BMO Capital Markets Corp., M&T Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Truist Securities, Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners. Additional participants in the Credit Facilities include Stifel Bank & Trust and TriState Capital Bank. On May 11, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to, among other things, add the 2022 Term Loan (and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loans"). On December 6, 2022, we exercised $40.0 million of accordion feature under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment and further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2021 Term Loan and, on a delayed-draw basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan (which was fully drawn down on September 27, 2023).

34

As of September 30, 2023, we had $200.0 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding under our Credit Facilities, with $75.0 million drawn on the 2021 Term Loan, $125.0 million drawn on the 2022 Term Loan and no amount drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Facilities include an accordion feature which permit us to borrow up to an additional $150.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to customary terms and conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2026, which may be extended for two six-month periods subject to customary conditions, the 2021 Term Loan matures in January 2027 and the 2022 Term Loan matures in February 2028. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities carry an interest rate of, (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% per annum, or (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 0.95% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 1.95% per annum, in each case depending on a consolidated leverage ratio. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, we will pay, if the usage is equal to or less than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.20% per annum, or if the usage is greater than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Facilities are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by us and certain of our indirect subsidiaries and contain customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens on assets, make certain types of investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, sell assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and pay dividends or make distributions. The Credit Facilities require compliance with consolidated financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth, maximum secured leverage ratio, maximum unsecured leverage ratio, minimum unsecured debt service coverage ratio and maximum secured recourse leverage ratio. The Credit Facilities also contain certain customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under the Credit Facilities, any event or condition that makes other material indebtedness due prior to its scheduled maturity, the failure to satisfy certain covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of the Credit Facilities’ debt covenants.

As of September 30, 2023, we had seven interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $200.0 million that are used to manage our interest rate risk and fix the SOFR component on the Term Loans of the Credit Facilities (together, the "Interest Rate Swaps"). See Note 6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 herein for further details regarding the Interest Rate Swaps.

Capital Resources and Financing Strategy

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, cash, borrowings under our Credit Facilities and the potential issuance of securities. We have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we may issue equity financing through the instruments and on the terms most attractive to us at such time, including through our $150.0 million ATM Program.

Our long-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term indebtedness including our Credit Facilities and mortgage financing, the issuance of equity and debt securities and proceeds from select sales of our properties. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Credit Facilities pending permanent property-level financing.

We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, in the future, there may be a number of factors that could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including unfavorable conditions in the overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base, borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders, general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance, liquidity and market perceptions about us. The success of our business strategy will depend, to a significant degree, on our ability to access these various capital sources. In addition, we continuously evaluate possible acquisitions of postal properties, which largely depend on, among other things, the market for owning and leasing postal properties and the terms on which the USPS will enter into new or renewed leases.

35

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make distributions to our stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gains. As a result of this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are not REITs. If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to find alternative ways to fund those needs. Such alternatives may include, among other things, divesting ourselves of properties (whether or not the sales price is optimal or otherwise meets our strategic long-term objectives), incurring indebtedness or issuing equity securities in public or private transactions, the availability and attractiveness of the terms of which cannot be assured.

Consolidated Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $233.0 million of outstanding consolidated principal indebtedness. The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2023 with respect to our outstanding indebtedness (in thousands):

Explanatory Notes:

(1)See above under "—Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans" for details regarding the Credit Facilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $0.07 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of unused facility fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility.

(2)Based upon the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, which is SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”). Upon our achievement of certain sustainability targets for 2022, the applicable margins for the Credit Facilities were reduced by 0.02% for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is reflected in the margins noted in the table above.

(3)Five properties are collateralized under this loan and Mr. Spodek also provided a personal guarantee of payment for 50% of the outstanding amount thereunder. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the five year weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, as made available to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Five-Year Treasury Rate"), plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(4)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.625% for the first five years (ending in August 2026), then adjusting annually thereafter to a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate with a minimum annual rate of 3.625%.

(5)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the Five-Year Treasury Rate, plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

36

(6)In connection with the acquisition of a property, we obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount of $0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $0.1 million with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0% interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025.

(7)The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on an industrial property located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 2.80% with interest-only payments for the first five years and fixed payments of principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule.

Secured Borrowings as of September 30, 2023

As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $33.0 million of secured borrowings outstanding, all of which are currently fixed-rate debt with a weighted average interest rate of 2.89% per annum.

Dividends

To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to pay dividends to stockholders at least equal to 90% of our REIT taxable income determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we paid cash dividends of $0.2375 and $0.713 per share, respectively. Our Board of Directors approved, and on October 23, 2023, we declared a third quarter common stock dividend of $0.2375 per share, which will be paid on November 30, 2023 to stockholders of record as of November 1, 2023.

Inflation

Because most of our leases provide for fixed annual rental payments without annual rent escalations, our rental revenues are fixed while our property operating expenses are subject to inflationary increases. A majority of our leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes and thus the tenant must reimburse us for real estate taxes. We believe that if inflation increases expenses over time, increases in lease renewal rates will materially offset such increase.

Subsequent Real Estate Acquisitions

As of October 30, 2023 and during the period subsequent to September 30, 2023, we have acquired six properties in individual or portfolio transactions for an aggregate of approximately $1.9 million, excluding closing costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. As of September 30, 2023, our indebtedness was approximately $233.0 million, consisting of approximately $200.0 million of variable-rate debt and approximately $33.0 million of fixed-rate debt. Of the $200.0 million variable-rate debt, $75.0 million related to the 2021 Term Loan and $125.0 million related to the 2022 Term Loan as of September 30, 2023, which had all been fixed through the Interest Rate Swaps. When factoring in the Term Loans as fixed-rate debt through the Interest Rate Swaps, as of September 30, 2023, none of our indebtedness was variable-rate debt as the entire Revolving Credit Facility was undrawn.

Subject to maintaining our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we manage our market risk on variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps that fix the rate on all or a portion of our variable rate debt for varying periods up to maturity, such as the Interest Rate Swaps. In the future, we may use other derivative instruments such as interest cap agreements to, in effect, cap the interest rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements will be to reduce our floating rate exposure. However, we provide no assurance that our efforts to manage interest rate volatility will successfully mitigate the risks of such volatility in our portfolio and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization and Description of Business

Organization and Description of Business

Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 19, 2018. On May 17, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”). The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions. Prior to the completion of the IPO and the formation transactions, the Company had no operations.

The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of OP Units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. As of September 30, 2023, the Company held an approximately 81.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of 1,434 properties located in 49 states and one territory. The Company’s properties are leased primarily to a single tenant, the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”). The Company also owns several, and may in the future further acquire, land parcels that may be added to existing or future leases with the USPS or used for other purposes that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.

In addition, through its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), Real Estate Asset Counseling, LLC (“REAC”), the Company provides fee-based third-party property management services for an additional 397 properties, which are owned by Andrew Spodek, the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO"), and his affiliates, and certain advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.

Pursuant to the Company’s articles of amendment and restatement, the Company is currently authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 27,206 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Voting Equivalency stock”), and up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with the Company's short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its REIT taxable income for each tax year to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. Additionally, any income earned by the TRS and any other TRS the Company forms in the future will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose, as the Company has done, to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE

that could be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company relate to the Operating Partnership.

A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2023. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates are related to the valuation of investments in real estate properties and impairment of long-lived assets. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering and Other Costs

Offering costs are recorded in “Total Stockholders’ Equity” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Deferred Costs

Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt, including the term loan facility component of the Company's existing credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest rate method, and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility component (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of the Credit Facilities are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Escrows and Reserves

Cash includes unrestricted cash with a maturity of three months or less. Escrows and reserves consist of restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and escrows and reserves reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

	As of
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in thousands)
Cash	$	2,462	$	1,495
Escrows and reserves:
Maintenance reserve	287		206
Real estate tax reserve	93		240
ESPP reserve	45		101
Cash and escrows and reserves	$	2,887	$	2,042

Revenue Recognition

The Company has operating lease agreements with tenants, some of which contain provisions for future rental increases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, certain lease agreements provide for reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, which are recorded on an accrual basis as part of “Rental income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s determination of the probability to collect lease payments is impacted by numerous factors, including the Company's assessment of the tenant’s creditworthiness, economic conditions, historical experience with the tenant, future prospects for the tenant and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable of collection are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income. For certain leases with lease incentive costs, such costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.

Fee and other primarily consists of (i) property management fees, (ii) income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases and (iii) fees earned from providing advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.

The management fees arise from contractual agreements with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s CEO. Management fee income is recognized as earned under the respective agreements.

Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease inception, the Company records an asset within "Investment in financing leases, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the Company’s net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future minimum lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property, if any, less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and interest is recognized as revenue in “Fee and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and produces a constant periodic rate of return on the "Investment in financing leases, net".

Revenue from advisory services is generated from service contracts generally based on (i) time and expense arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues based on hours incurred and contracted rates), (ii) fixed-fee arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues earned to date by applying the proportional performance method) or (iii) performance-based or contingent arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the client receives the benefit of the promised service). Reimbursable expenses for the advisory services, including those relating to travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues and in general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.

Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets (excluding derivatives), accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facilities approximates carrying value because such borrowings are subject to a variable market rate, which reprices frequently. The fair value was determined using the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, plus an applicable spread under the Credit Facilities, a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings aggregated approximately $26.7 million and $27.5 million as compared to the principal balance of $33.0 million and $33.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s secured debt was categorized as a Level 3 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

The Company's derivative assets and liabilities, comprised of interest rate swap derivative instruments entered into in connection with the Credit Facilities, are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected amount of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities was categorized as a Level 2 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative assets was approximately $11.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap derivative liabilities was approximately $0.1 million included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Disclosures about fair value of assets and liabilities are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2023 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further details.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the

time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. No impairments were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risks

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s properties were leased primarily to a single tenant, the USPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 13.5% of the Company’s total rental income, or $6.0 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 15.4% of the Company's total rental income, or $5.6 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of its leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in Pennsylvania or other regions where the Company operates in and could have a material effect on the Company’s overall business results.

The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of equity-based compensation expense as such forfeitures occur.

The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal to the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.

See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity for further details.

Insurance Accounting

The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to certain losses, including those relating to property damage and business interruption. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is not recorded in other income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Insurance recoveries for business interruption for lost revenue or profit are accounted for as gain contingencies in their entirety, and therefore are not recorded in income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company.

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, long term incentive units of the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend and dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units and RSUs are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted EPS is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. See Note 10. Earnings Per Share for further details.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The guidance changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaced the previous "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" approach. The guidance also requires entities to disclose information about how they developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. ASU No. 2018-19 excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of this guidance. This guidance became effective for the Company and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company had two direct financing leases with a net investment balance aggregating approximately $16.1 million prior to any credit loss adjustment. Historically, the Company has had no collection issues related to these direct financing leases and its other leases in which the Company is the lessor; therefore, the Company assessed the probability of default on these leases based on the lessee’s status as an independent agency of the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, financial condition and business prospects and the remaining term of the leases. Based on the aforementioned, the Company did not recognize any credit loss adjustment for such leases.

Explanatory Notes:

(1)On August 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Facilities, which included the $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan"). On May 11, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Facilities to, among other things, add a new $75.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), replace the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark interest rate and allow for a decrease in the applicable margin by 0.02% if the Company achieves certain sustainability targets. On December 6, 2022, the Company exercised $40.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment") to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Facilities and further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2021 Term Loan and, on a delayed-draw basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan (which was fully drawn down on September 27, 2023).

The Credit Facilities include an accordion feature which permits the Company to borrow up to an additional $150.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary terms and conditions. As of September 30, 2023, the accordion feature under the Term Loans has been fully exercised. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2026, which may be extended for two six-month periods subject to customary conditions, the 2021 Term Loan matures in January 2027 and the 2022 Term Loan matures in February 2028. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities carry an interest rate of, (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% per annum, or (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 0.95% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 1.95% per annum, in each case depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company will pay, if the usage is equal to or less than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.20% per annum, or if the usage is greater than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facilities contain a number of customary financial and non-financial covenants.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.07 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.06 million and

$0.2 million, respectively, of unused facility fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facilities’ debt covenants.

(2)Based upon the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, which is SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”). Upon the Company's achievement of certain sustainability targets for 2022, the applicable margins for the Credit Facilities were reduced by 0.02% for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is reflected in the margins noted in the table above.

(3)Five properties are collateralized under this loan and Mr. Spodek also provided a personal guarantee of payment for 50% of the outstanding amount thereunder. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the five year weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, as made available to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Five-Year Treasury Rate"), plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(4)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.625% for the first five years (ending in August 2026), then adjusting annually thereafter to a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate with a minimum annual rate of 3.625%.

(5)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the Five-Year Treasury Rate, plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(6)In connection with the acquisition of a property, the Company obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount of $0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $0.1 million with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0% interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025.

(7)The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on an industrial property located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 2.80% with interest-only payments for the first five years and fixed payments of principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule.

The weighted average maturity date for the Company's indebtedness as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately 4.6 years and 5.5 years, respectively.

The scheduled principal repayments of indebtedness as of September 30, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had seven interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $200.0 million that are used to manage its interest rate risk and fix the SOFR component on the Term Loans of the Credit Facilities:

Notional Amount ($ in thousands)	Fixed Rate (1)	Effective Date	Maturity Date
$50,000	2.27%	May 2022	January 2027
$25,000	4.217%	May 2022	February 2028
$25,000	4.217%	May 2022	February 2028
$25,000	4.79%	July 2022	February 2028
$40,000	4.932%	December 2022	February 2028
$25,000	5.736%	July 2023	January 2027
$10,000	6.049%	September 2023	February 2028

Explanatory Note:

(1)Reflects the all-in effective interest rate for the specified portion of the Term Loans hedged by the interest rate swaps.

The Company’s objectives in using the interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company uses the interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with any gain or loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Credit Facilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $5.1 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive income” as a decrease to interest expense.

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative instruments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Amount of gain recognized on derivative in "Accumulated other comprehensive income"	$	3,345	$	5,397	$	5,897	$	8,198
Amount of income (loss) reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive income" into interest expense	$	1,275	$	45	$	3,265	$	(169)

"Interest expense, net" presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded, totaled $2.6 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.8 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

Leases

Lessor Accounting

As of September 30, 2023, the Company's properties were leased primarily to the USPS, with leases expiring at various dates through May 31, 2031. Certain leases had expired and were in holdover status as of September 30, 2023 as discussed below. Certain leases contain renewal, termination and/or purchase options exercisable at the lessee’s election.

Therefore, such options are only recognized once they are deemed reasonably certain, typically at the time the option is exercised. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases with the exception of two that are direct financing leases. The Company's operating leases and direct financing leases are described below.

Rental income related to the Company’s leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single combined operating lease component under Topic 842. As a result, rental income and tenant reimbursements were aggregated into a single line within rental income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The following table represents rental revenue that the Company recognized related to its operating leases (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Fixed payments	$	13,299	$	11,435	$	38,703	$	31,581

	$	15,438	$	13,181	$	44,699	$	36,665

Future minimum lease payments to be received as of September 30, 2023 under non-cancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount (1)(2)(3)
2023 - Remaining	$	12,148

2026	31,298
2027	17,646
Thereafter	17,101
Total	$	164,147

Explanatory Notes:

(1)The above minimum lease payments to be received do not include reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other reimbursed expenses.

(2)As of September 30, 2023, the leases at 51 of the Company's properties were expired, and the USPS was occupying such properties as a holdover tenant. As such, the above minimum lease payments to be received do not include payments under these holdover leases. Holdover rent is typically paid as the greater of estimated market rent or the rent amount due under the expired lease.

(3)In August 2023, the Company received notice from the USPS to terminate the lease for one property effective in February 2024.

Purchase Option Provisions

As of September 30, 2023, operating leases for 72 of the Company’s properties provided the USPS with the option to purchase the underlying property either at fair market value or at fixed prices, in each case as of dates set forth in the lease agreement. As of September 30, 2023, 68 of these properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $53.3 million with an aggregate purchase option price of approximately $66.6 million and the remaining four properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $2.9 million with purchase options exercisable at fair market value.

Investment in Financing Leases, Net

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, financing leases for two of the Company's properties provide the USPS with the option to purchase the underlying property at fixed prices as of dates set forth in the lease agreement. The components of the Company’s net investment in financing leases as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

Less: unearned income	(16,300)		(17,085)
Investment in financing leases, net	$	16,062	$	16,130

Revenue earned under direct financing leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is recorded in "Fee and other" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Future lease payments to be received under the Company’s direct financing leases as of September 30, 2023 for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31,	Amount

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which were classified as operating leases. As of September 30, 2023, these leases had remaining terms, including renewal options, of less than a year to 55 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.9 years. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expense and other, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
ROU asset – operating leases	$	857	$	1,010
Lease liability – operating leases	$	863	$	1,014

The difference between the recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of the below market ground lease intangible asset which was included within the ROU assets recognized upon transition.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a discount rate ranging from 4.25% to 6.37% based on the yield of its current borrowings in determining its lease liabilities.

Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Operating lease expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.05 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.06 million and $0.2 million, respectively. See Note 9. Related Party Transactions for more details.

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which were classified as operating leases. As of September 30, 2023, these leases had remaining terms, including renewal options, of less than a year to 55 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.9 years. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expense and other, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2023		As of December 31, 2022
ROU asset – operating leases	$	857	$	1,010
Lease liability – operating leases	$	863	$	1,014

The difference between the recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of the below market ground lease intangible asset which was included within the ROU assets recognized upon transition.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a discount rate ranging from 4.25% to 6.37% based on the yield of its current borrowings in determining its lease liabilities.

Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Operating lease expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.05 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.06 million and $0.2 million, respectively. See Note 9. Related Party Transactions for more details.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of income from operations used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data).

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Basic and diluted earnings per share	$	0.04	$	0.04	$	0.08	$	0.10

Explanatory Note:

(1) Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted shares and RSUs issued under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity) and the impact of the Company's forward sale agreements. The effect of such shares and RSUs would not be dilutive and were not included in the computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented in the table above. OP Units and LTIP Units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of Class A common stock on an one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units and LTIP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as non-controlling interests in these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units and LTIP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted EPS.

The

agreements also provide that the Company may enter into one or more forward sale agreements under separate master forward confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with affiliates of certain agents. On August 8, 2023, the Company amended the ATM Program to increase the aggregate offering amount under the program from up to $50.0 million to up to $150.0 million.

The following table summarizes the activity under the ATM Program for the period presented (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, 1,114,997 shares and 1,435,304 shares were issued under the ATM program, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 227,473 shares were issued under the ATM program. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $117.3 million remaining that may be issued under the ATM Program.

(1)Includes 600,000 shares that were issued in September 2023 in settlement of forward sales transactions that were entered into by the Company in July 2023. Additionally, as of September 30, 2023, the Company had an additional 198,847 shares of forward sales transactions that had yet been settled. On October 11, 2023, the remaining 198,847 shares were settled for net proceeds of approximately $2.9 million.

The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the time when it entered into the forward sales transactions under the ATM Program. The Company determined that such forward sales transactions met the criteria for equity classification and, therefore, were exempt from derivative accounting. The Company recorded the forward sales transactions at fair value at inception, which was determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

Dividends

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company declared and paid dividends of $6.1 million and $17.9 million, respectively, to Class A common stockholders, Voting Equivalency stockholders, OP unitholders and LTIP unitholders, or $0.2375 per share or unit and $0.713 per share or unit, respectively, as shown in the table below.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests in the Company represent OP Units held by the Company's prior investors and certain sellers of properties to the Company and LTIP Units primarily issued to the Company’s employees and the Board of Directors in connection with the IPO and/or in lieu of their cash compensation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 143,288 LTIP Units to the Company’s CEO for his 2022 incentive bonus, his election to defer 100% of his 2023 annual salary and for long term incentive compensation, 75,489 LTIP Units to the Company’s president for his 2022 incentive bonus and his election to defer 50% of his 2023 annual salary, 57,057 LTIP Units to the Company's Chief Financial

Officer for his 2022 incentive bonus and for long term incentive compensation, 40,635 LTIP Units in June 2023 to the Board of Directors for their annual retainers as compensation for their services as directors, 25,510 LTIP Units to an employee for his 2022 incentive bonus, his election to defer a portion of his 2023 annual salary and for long term incentive compensation and 8,447 LTIP Units to a consultant under the consultancy agreement with the Company.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, non-controlling interests consisted of 3,936,516 OP Units and 887,294 LTIP Units and 4,133,619 OP Units and 536,868 LTIP Units, respectively. This represented approximately 18.2% and 19.2% of the outstanding Operating Partnership units as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. OP Units and shares of Class A common stock generally have the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will generally have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for cash, or at the Company's sole discretion, shares of Class A common stock, on an one-for-one basis determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 402,433 OP Units were redeemed for 402,433 shares of Class A common stock. For redemption of OP Units using shares of Class A common stock, the Company adjusted the carrying value of non-controlling interests to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Partnership reflecting the change in the Company’s ownership of the Operating Partnership. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a reallocation of non-controlling interest in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 37,500 OP Units were also redeemed for cash for the total amount of $0.6 million.

The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to their percentage ownership of OP Units.

Restricted Stock and Other Awards

Pursuant to the Company’s Plan, the Company may grant equity incentive awards to its directors, officers, employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining shares available under the Plan for future issuance was 1,025,868. The Plan provides for grants of stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards, other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units) and dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of performance units and other equity-based awards.

The following table presents a summary of the Company's outstanding restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units and RSUs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE

that could be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company relate to the Operating Partnership.

A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2023. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates are related to the valuation of investments in real estate properties and impairment of long-lived assets. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering and Other Costs

Offering and Other Costs

Offering costs are recorded in “Total Stockholders’ Equity” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Deferred Costs

Deferred Costs

Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt, including the term loan facility component of the Company's existing credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest rate method, and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility component (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of the Credit Facilities are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Escrows and Reserves

Cash and Escrows and ReservesCash includes unrestricted cash with a maturity of three months or less. Escrows and reserves consist of restricted cash.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company has operating lease agreements with tenants, some of which contain provisions for future rental increases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, certain lease agreements provide for reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, which are recorded on an accrual basis as part of “Rental income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s determination of the probability to collect lease payments is impacted by numerous factors, including the Company's assessment of the tenant’s creditworthiness, economic conditions, historical experience with the tenant, future prospects for the tenant and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable of collection are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income. For certain leases with lease incentive costs, such costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.

Fee and other primarily consists of (i) property management fees, (ii) income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases and (iii) fees earned from providing advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.

The management fees arise from contractual agreements with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s CEO. Management fee income is recognized as earned under the respective agreements.

Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease inception, the Company records an asset within "Investment in financing leases, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the Company’s net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future minimum lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property, if any, less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and interest is recognized as revenue in “Fee and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and produces a constant periodic rate of return on the "Investment in financing leases, net".

Revenue from advisory services is generated from service contracts generally based on (i) time and expense arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues based on hours incurred and contracted rates), (ii) fixed-fee arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues earned to date by applying the proportional performance method) or (iii) performance-based or contingent arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the client receives the benefit of the promised service). Reimbursable expenses for the advisory services, including those relating to travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues and in general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets (excluding derivatives), accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facilities approximates carrying value because such borrowings are subject to a variable market rate, which reprices frequently. The fair value was determined using the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, plus an applicable spread under the Credit Facilities, a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings aggregated approximately $26.7 million and $27.5 million as compared to the principal balance of $33.0 million and $33.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s secured debt was categorized as a Level 3 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.

The Company's derivative assets and liabilities, comprised of interest rate swap derivative instruments entered into in connection with the Credit Facilities, are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected amount of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities was categorized as a Level 2 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative assets was approximately $11.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap derivative liabilities was approximately $0.1 million included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Disclosures about fair value of assets and liabilities are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since September 30, 2023 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesIn accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further details.

Impairment

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the

time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Concentration of Credit Risks

As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s properties were leased primarily to a single tenant, the USPS. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately 13.5% of the Company’s total rental income, or $6.0 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 15.4% of the Company's total rental income, or $5.6 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of its leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in Pennsylvania or other regions where the Company operates in and could have a material effect on the Company’s overall business results.

The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Equity Based Compensation

Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of equity-based compensation expense as such forfeitures occur.

The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal to the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.

Insurance Accounting

Insurance Accounting

The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to certain losses, including those relating to property damage and business interruption. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is not recorded in other income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Insurance recoveries for business interruption for lost revenue or profit are accounted for as gain contingencies in their entirety, and therefore are not recorded in income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, long term incentive units of the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend and dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units and RSUs are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted EPS is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. See Note 10. Earnings Per Share for further details.

Recently Adopted and Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The guidance changed how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaced the previous "incurred loss" model with an "expected loss" approach. The guidance also requires entities to disclose information about how they developed the allowances, including changes in the factors that influenced estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. ASU No. 2018-19 excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of this guidance. This guidance became effective for the Company and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2023. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company had two direct financing leases with a net investment balance aggregating approximately $16.1 million prior to any credit loss adjustment. Historically, the Company has had no collection issues related to these direct financing leases and its other leases in which the Company is the lessor; therefore, the Company assessed the probability of default on these leases based on the lessee’s status as an independent agency of the executive branch of the U.S. federal government, financial condition and business prospects and the remaining term of the leases. Based on the aforementioned, the Company did not recognize any credit loss adjustment for such leases.

Explanatory Notes:

(1)On August 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Facilities, which included the $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan"). On May 11, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Facilities to, among other things, add a new $75.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), replace the London Interbank Offered Rate with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark interest rate and allow for a decrease in the applicable margin by 0.02% if the Company achieves certain sustainability targets. On December 6, 2022, the Company exercised $40.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment") to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Facilities and further exercised $25.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2021 Term Loan and, on a delayed-draw basis, $10.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan (which was fully drawn down on September 27, 2023).

The Credit Facilities include an accordion feature which permits the Company to borrow up to an additional $150.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to customary terms and conditions. As of September 30, 2023, the accordion feature under the Term Loans has been fully exercised. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2026, which may be extended for two six-month periods subject to customary conditions, the 2021 Term Loan matures in January 2027 and the 2022 Term Loan matures in February 2028. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities carry an interest rate of, (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.0% per annum, or (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.45% to 0.95% per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 1.95% per annum, in each case depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company will pay, if the usage is equal to or less than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.20% per annum, or if the usage is greater than 50%, an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facilities contain a number of customary financial and non-financial covenants.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.07 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.06 million and

$0.2 million, respectively, of unused facility fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facilities’ debt covenants.

(2)Based upon the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR, which is SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10%, subject to a 0% floor (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”). Upon the Company's achievement of certain sustainability targets for 2022, the applicable margins for the Credit Facilities were reduced by 0.02% for the year ending December 31, 2023, which is reflected in the margins noted in the table above.

(3)Five properties are collateralized under this loan and Mr. Spodek also provided a personal guarantee of payment for 50% of the outstanding amount thereunder. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the five year weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years, as made available to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Five-Year Treasury Rate"), plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(4)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.625% for the first five years (ending in August 2026), then adjusting annually thereafter to a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate with a minimum annual rate of 3.625%.

(5)The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69% for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the Five-Year Treasury Rate, plus a margin of 2.75%, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75%.

(6)In connection with the acquisition of a property, the Company obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount of $0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $0.1 million with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0% interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025.

(7)The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on an industrial property located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 2.80% with interest-only payments for the first five years and fixed payments of principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule.
