Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As detailed in Note 1 under the heading “—Merger with MedAmerica Properties Inc.” there are six Mergers that have not been completed. The Company will issue an aggregate of 10,400,779 shares of common stock and 573,529 OP units as consideration for the additional Mergers. Until the closing of the remaining Mergers, the Company will continue to manage these six properties and earn management fees.

Contingencies

Impact of COVID-19

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including the impact on its tenants and rental revenue. The Company has observed the impact of COVID-19 manifest in the form of temporary closures or significantly limited operations among its tenants, with the exception of tenants operating in certain “essential” businesses, which has resulted, and may in the future result in, a decline in on-time rental payments and increased requests from tenants for temporary rental relief. In some cases, the Company may have to restructure tenants’ long-term rent obligations and may not be able to do so on terms that are as favorable to the Company as those currently in place. In addition, lease renewals and new leasing activity are expected to be adversely impacted as businesses delay executing leases amidst the immediate and uncertain future economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on the Company’s future operational and financial performance, financial condition and liquidity will depend on future developments, including the duration and intensity of the pandemic, the timing and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, the duration of government measures to mitigate the pandemic and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Given this uncertainty, the Company cannot accurately predict the effect on future periods, but the Company expects the pandemic and the related government measures to have an adverse impact on its financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows and the impact could be material.

Beginning in April 2020 and through the date of these financial statements, the Company has entered into lease modifications that deferred approximately $0.4 million of contractual revenue and waived approximately $0.3 million of contractual revenue. To date, the weighted average payback period of deferred rent is approximately seven months which commences at various times beginning in July 2020 through June 2021. Rent deferrals to date may not be indicative of rent deferrals in any future period.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.

It also appropriated funds for the SBA PPP loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The Company received funds under the PPP as described in Note 5 under the heading (PPP Loans”). Additionally, the Company has utilized the deferred payment of the employer portions of social security taxes that would otherwise be due from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020, without penalty or interest charges.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company or its properties may be subject to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s lessees and borrowers have indemnified, and are obligated to continue to indemnify, the Company against all liabilities arising from the operations of the properties and are further obligated to indemnify it against environmental or title problems affecting the real estate underlying such facilities. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, if resolved against the Company, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
