Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Orion OP, and a consolidated joint venture and are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The portion of the consolidated joint venture not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of equity.
The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal, recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026. Information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and U.S. GAAP.
For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one or more of the
following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity; or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates entities that are not VIEs if it has a majority voting interest or other rights that result in effectively controlling the entity.
The Company then qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate VIEs based on standards set forth in U.S. GAAP.
Reclassification
Other income and other expenses, which were previously combined as other income (expenses), net on the consolidated statements of operations, have been separately presented for all prior periods presented to be consistent with the presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This reclassification had no impact on the reported net loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes significant estimates regarding real estate impairments, other than temporary equity method investment impairments, notes receivable reserves and purchase price allocations.
Revenue Recognition
Rental Revenue
For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, the Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis, including the effect of any free rent periods, over the lease term when collectability of lease payments is probable. Variable lease payments are recognized as rental revenue in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.
Certain of the Company’s leases also contain provisions for tenants to reimburse the Company for real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance and other property operating expenses. Such reimbursements are included in rental revenue on a gross basis. Property operating expenses paid directly by tenants are recorded on a net basis (i.e., treated as fully offset by an identical amount of assumed reimbursement revenue) and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Company continually reviews receivables related to rent, straight-line rent and property operating expense reimbursements and determines collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. The review includes a binary assessment of whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as cash is received and the Company reduces rental revenue for any straight-line rent receivables. The Company recognizes all changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease as an adjustment to rental revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a reduction to rental revenue of less than $0.1 million for income not probable of collection. No such amounts were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Rental revenue also includes lease termination income collected from tenants to allow for the tenants to settle their lease obligations and/or to vacate their space prior to their scheduled termination dates and recognized over the remaining or modified terms of the respective lease. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized lease termination income of $1.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Amortization of above and below-market leases and lease incentives is also included in rental revenue and is discussed further in Note 3 – Real Estate Investments and Related Intangibles.
Fee Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
The Company provides various services to the Unconsolidated Joint Venture in exchange for market-based fees. Total asset and property management fees earned in connection with this entity were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 3 – Real Estate Investments and Related Intangibles - Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture for discussion regarding the recognition of these fees on a cash basis beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in bank accounts, as well as investments in highly-liquid funds with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash as of March 31, 2026 was primarily comprised of reserves held by the lender under the CMBS Loan (as defined in Note 6 – Debt, Net). In connection with the February 2026 modification of the CMBS Loan discussed in Note 6 – Debt, Net, a new all-purpose reserve was established by the lender into which all existing tenant improvement, leasing commission and other borrower reserve amounts were funded (a total of $37.7 million on the loan modification date), the Company funded an additional $7.74 million into the all-purpose reserve, and the Company agreed that a portion of all future excess cash flows from the 19 properties will be used to continue to fund the all-purpose reserve. The all-purpose reserve may be used to pay leasing costs and capital expenditures associated with the 19 properties collateralizing the CMBS Loan, as well as to pay any property operating expenses not otherwise fully covered by revenues from the 19 properties.
The Company deposits cash with high quality financial institutions. These deposits are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to an insurance limit of $250,000. At times, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash may exceed federally insured levels. Although the Company bears risk on amounts in excess of those insured by the FDIC, it has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses due to the high quality of the institutions where the deposits are held.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates in one business segment: commercial real estate. This segment is characterized as owning, managing and leasing commercial real estate assets under long-term agreements. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Company is the chief executive officer. The CODM reviews net loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, when assessing performance and making operating decisions, including the allocation of resources. The CODM uses net loss as it informs comparative period trends for the forecasting process and is the baseline measurement for any additional measures of profit or loss of the Company’s consolidated financial results. Additionally, the CODM reviews the following significant expenses when measuring segment performance: property operating expenses for properties that were substantially vacant or became substantially vacant during the reporting period (“Vacant Property Operating Expenses”) and general and administrative expenses. A property is considered to be substantially vacant with an occupancy rate of 15% or less.
Segment revenues, profit or loss and general and administrative expenses are all disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Vacant Property Operating Expenses included in property operating expenses of the accompanying consolidated statements of operations were $3.0 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Asset information for the segment is not used by the CODM to measure performance but is disclosed in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers, and its revenues have been generated in and all long-lived assets are located within the United States.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures). ASU 2024-03 serves to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide detailed information about expense categories commonly presented in cost of sales, research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The standard requires public business entities to disaggregate expense captions from the consolidated statements of operations, in tabular format, if they include expense categories such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective or retrospective basis. Although the Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, it is expected to result in incremental disclosures within the notes to consolidated financial statements.
