The company's customer base is diverse, comprising tenants from various sectors such as financial services, government, non-profit, and retail. As of December 31, 2023, the company's top 10 tenants accounted for 59% of its annualized rental income. Notably, 24% of its tenants come from the financial services sector, 13% from government, and 9% from non-profit organizations.

The company's office properties segment is its most significant and largest segment, consisting of seven mixed-use office and retail condominium buildings primarily located in Manhattan.

In terms of financing, the company has historically relied on cash on hand and property-level financings to fund its operations. Recently, the company has also issued shares of its Class A common stock in lieu of cash to its Advisor and Property Manager as payment for providing services to the company. However, the company's ability to fund its capital requirements will depend on its ability to generate cash from its operations and outside sources, which may not be available on acceptable or favorable terms, or at all. The company's financial performance has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected the New York City real estate market and the company's ability to collect cash rent from its tenants.
