Real Estate Monetizations

In order to support our liquidity, we have monetized certain of our real estate holdings. Details of those monetizations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, are provided below.

The disposal group consists of our Cannon Park City Center and Cannon Park Discount Center properties, comprising approximately 9.4-acres. The sale of the property was completed on May 21, 2025, at a gross sale price of $20.7 million. The proceeds were used principally to pay off our NAB bridging facility, and to reduce our Bank of America debt. We retained a lease over the cinema.

Disposal Groups Held for Sale

A ‘disposal group’ represents assets to be disposed of in a single transaction. A disposal group may represent a single asset, or, multiple assets.

Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania

In June 2023, we classified our industrial property at Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. The property is part of our historic railroad operations, consisting of land and an industrial building, and certain rail bed improvements. No adjustments to the book value of the assets contained within this disposal group were required. Sales efforts continue, and the property continues to meet the ASC 360 held for sale criteria.

Real Estate Acquisitions

On December 19, 2025, we purchased Sutton Hill Associates, a California general partnership. As a consequence of that transaction we took on $13.6 million in long term debt owed by Sutton Hill Associates to a third party, and short term payables in the amount of $7.1 million owed by our Company to certain Sutton Hill Associates subsidiaries were eliminated on consolidation. The long term debt is carried on our balance sheet at $7.6 million, reflecting the fact that the debt has a term maturing on September 30, 2035, with no interim payments of principal, is unsecured and bears interest at only 4.75% per annum payable quarterly in arrears. A description of this transaction is provided at Note 21 – Related Parties.
