9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.

 

Litigation. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits or legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s properties are presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, is there any material threatened litigation.

 

Environmental Matters. The Company monitors its properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, the Company is not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Further, the Company is not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that the Company believes would require additional disclosure or recording of a loss contingency.

 

Financial Markets.  The Company monitors concerns over economic recession, the COVID-19 pandemic, interest rate increases, policy priorities of the U.S. presidential administration, trade wars, labor shortages, or inflation may contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and markets. Additionally, concern over geopolitical issues may also contribute to prolonged market volatility and instability. For example, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions have imposed severe economic sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests, have removed Russia from the SWIFT system, and have threatened additional sanctions and controls. The impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is unknown. We have not currently experienced a direct material impact to our Company or operations; however, we will continue to monitor the financial markets for events that could impact our commercial real estate properties.

 

Sponsorship of Special Purpose Acquisition Company.  On January 7, 2022, we announced our sponsorship, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Murphy Canyon Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”), of a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) initial public offering. The SPAC raised $132,250,000 in capital investment to acquire businesses in the real estate industry, including construction, homebuilding, real estate owners and operators, arrangers of financing, insurance, and other services for real estate, and adjacent businesses and technologies targeting the real estate space, which we may refer to as “Proptech” businesses. We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, owned approximately 23.5% of the issued and outstanding stock in the entity upon the initial public offering being declared effective and consummated (excluding the private placement units described below), and that following the completion of its initial business combination that the SPAC will operate as a separately managed, publicly traded entity. The SPAC offered 132,250,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant.  The warrants were evaluated using the guidance in ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" and we concluded that the warrants are indexed to Murphy Canyon's common stock and meets the criteria to be classified in stockholders' equity.

 

The SPAC's ability to complete a business combination may be extended in additional increments of three months up to a total of six (6) additional months from the closing date of the offering, subject to the payment into the Trust Account by the Sponsor (or its designees or affiliates) of the sum of $1,322,500, representing the sum of $0.10 per share of Common Stock sold to Public Stockholders, and which extension payments, if any, shall be added to the Trust Account.  The Company has committed to provide additional funds if needed to make such a deposit for the extension.

 

The Murphy Canyon IPO, of 13,225,000 units (“Units”) and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the (“Public Shares”), closed on February 7, 2022, raising gross proceeds for Murphy Canyon of $132,250,000, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. In connection with the IPO, we purchased, through the Sponsor, 754,000 placement units (the “placement units”) at a price of $10.00 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,540,000.  The Sponsor has agreed to transfer an aggregate of 45,000 placement units (15,000 each) to each of Murphy Canyon’s independent directors.  These proceeds were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Murphy Canyon public shareholders and are included in Investments held in Trust in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2022In connection with the initial public offering, Murphy Canyon incurred $7,738,161 in issuance costs, including $2,645,000 of underwriting discounts and commission, $4,628,750 of deferred underwriting fees and $464,411 of other offering costs.  These costs were allocated to temporary and permanent equity and offset against the proceeds.

 

Immediately following the IPO, Murphy Canyon began to evaluate acquisition candidates in the real estate industry, including construction, homebuilding, real estate owners and operators, arrangers of financing, insurance, and other services for real estate, and adjacent businesses and technologies targeting the real estate space with an aggregate combined enterprise value of approximately $300 million to $1.2 billion. Murphy Canyon’s goal is to complete its initial business combination (“IBC”) within one year of its IPO.  We expect Murphy Canyon to operate as a separately managed, publicly traded entity following the completion of the IBC, or “De-SPAC”.
