ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Risks Relating to Ownership Structure

The controlling shareholder group may be able to vote its shares in favor of its interests that may not always coincide with the interests of shareholders not part of such group. This risk may be counter-balanced to a degree by the actions of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) which is made up of a majority of independent directors.

1The controlling shareholder group includes a corporation that owns a significant percentage of the Company’s common stock and which does business with the Company, as further described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders. Certain conflicts of interest may be perceived by the relationship between the Company and its largest shareholder. Nevertheless, the Company and its largest shareholder have put in place some controls to reduce the effects of any perceived conflict of interest, including ensuring that the Board is composed of a majority of independent directors.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

We are a part of the communities in which we do business. Accordingly, like other businesses in our communities, we are subject to the following risks:

• changes in the rate of economic growth, and interest rates both nationally and locally; • existing indebtedness, including the potential for accelerated maturities; • the ability to obtain additional financing at reasonable costs and interest rates; • changes in the financial condition of our customers; • changes in the regulatory environment and particularly burdens of increasing local, state, and federal requirements and taxes; • lease cancellations and particularly loss of key tenants; • changes in our estimates of costs; • loss of key personnel; • war and/or terrorist attacks could significantly impact buildings leased to tenants; • the continued availability of insurance for various policies at reasonable rates; • outcomes of pending and future litigation; • increasing competition by other companies; • compliance with our loan covenants; • climate change; • recoverability of claims against our ~~customers~~tenants and others by us and claims by third parties against us; • changes in estimates used in our critical accounting policies; • cybersecurity threats or incidents; and • pandemics and the related trends of office versus remote work practices.

Our investment in property development may be limited by increasing costs required to make improvements to property leased to tenants. Also, as the cost of fitting up properties increases, we may be required to wait and forsake opportunities that would be revenue producing until such time that we obtain the necessary financing of such ventures. This risk may be mitigated by obtaining lines of credit and other financing vehicles, although such have significant limitations on the amounts that may be borrowed at any point in time.

We also may be subject to environmental liability as an owner or operator of properties. Many of our properties are old and when we need to fit up a property for a new tenant, we may find materials and the like that could be deemed to contain hazardous elements requiring remediation or encapsulation.

Since 2020, the demand for commercial real estate rental space has declined. As online retail operations continue to expand nationwide, retailers are facing increased competition which reduces the need for the leasing of properties. Remote work since the pandemic has resulted in tenants’ careful evaluation and reduction of office space needs and a decline in demand of commercial office space rentals from increasing competition. The Company emphasizes retention of tenants over a long period of time which helps in difficult economic conditions. The Company also aggressively markets available space to tenants including governmental agencies, medical, industrial, and educational institutions.

The Company also aggressively markets available space to tenants including governmental agencies, medical, industrial, and educational institutions.

We try to lease our properties to tenants with adequate finances. As a result of the current high interest rate environment and less liquidity available to smaller businesses, even formerly financially strong tenants may be at risk. The Company mitigates the risk of tenants with less than adequate finances by leasing our properties to multiple tenants, where applicable, in order to diversify the tenant base.

ITEM 1C.

CYBERSECURITY.

Risk Management and Strategy

We have implemented and maintain various information security processes designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical computer networks, hardware, software, third-party hosted services, and data.

We rely on third-party service providers to help manage our information systems, including network security service providers with experienced information technology professionals. We also work with third parties to identify, assess, and manage actual and perceived cybersecurity threats and risks, and we evaluate cybersecurity risk as part of our overall risk management strategy. With the assistance of these third-party service providers, we implement and maintain various technical, physical, and administrative controls and processes to manage and mitigate material risks from cybersecurity threats to our information systems. This includes procedures for incident detection and response, network security controls, access controls, physical security, systems monitoring, and backup and recovery procedures.

Our operations rely on third-party service providers and software programs. For instance, our accounting and financial reporting-related systems use software obtained from third-party service providers, and these systems are necessary for the efficient and consistent operation of our business. We use these systems to communicate with tenants, banks, vendors, and others, and to manage our accounting, financial reporting, and for other recordkeeping purposes. We, thus, maintain a process to identify and evaluate cybersecurity risks and incidents associated with key third-party providers. When utilizing third-party software for key services, we seek to engage those that are reliable, reputable, and maintain cybersecurity controls. To address risks associated with third-party providers for critical services, we review available audit reports of controls from such providers to assess and manage any identified risks.

Notwithstanding the effort we place on cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on the Company. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any cybersecurity threats or incidents which have materially affected or are likely to materially affect our Company, results of operations, or financial condition.

Governance

Our Board ~~of Directors~~ maintains oversight responsibility of risks from cybersecurity threats. This oversight is facilitated primarily through the Audit Committee (the “Committee”), which is responsible for oversight of our information system risk, including cybersecurity threats. The Committee oversees the risk management program designed to implement adequate controls to mitigate cybersecurity risks.

The Committee receives periodic updates from management on potential risks, threats, and controls to mitigate identified risks. The Committee reports to the full Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board of Directors also receives briefings from management on the cybersecurity risk management program as needed.

Our management, represented by our Chief Financial Officer, Ward Lyke, provides leadership for implementation and maintenance of our cybersecurity risk management processes. Mr. Lyke has served as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer since January 2024, and as an Executive Vice President and Officer of the Company since 1984, including as Assistant Treasurer since 2003. Mr. Lyke currently manages key functions

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(A) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company’s management reviewed the Company’s internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of July 31, ~~2024~~2025, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of, and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in its periodic SEC filings.

(B) CHANGE TO INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses noted, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

(C) MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

The Company’s ~~management~~ management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f). Our internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and its Board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems that have been determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of our internal ~~control~~ control over financial reporting as of July 31, ~~2024~~2025. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework published in 2013. Based on the Company’s assessments, we believe that, as of July 31, ~~2024~~2025, its internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

This Form 10-K Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption for non-accelerated filers from the internal control audit requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
