 guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the property. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, our financial condition could suffer.

If a transaction intended to qualify as a Section 1031 Exchange is later determined to be taxable or if we are unable to identify and complete the acquisition of a suitable replacement property to effect a Section 1031 Exchange, we may face adverse consequences, and if the laws applicable to such transactions are amended or repealed, we may not be able to dispose of properties on a tax deferred basis.

When possible, we dispose of properties in transactions that are intended to qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (each such transaction, a "Section 1031 Exchange"). It is possible that the qualification of a transaction as a Section 1031 Exchange could be successfully challenged by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") and determined to be currently taxable or that we may be unable to identify and complete the acquisition of a suitable replacement property to effect a Section 1031 Exchange. In such case, if there are no alternatives available to us (including the use of our net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits), we may have to pay corporate income tax with respect to the disposition of such properties, possibly including interest and penalties. In addition, if a Section 1031 Exchange was later determined to be taxable, we may be required to amend our tax returns for the applicable year in question, including any information reports we sent the Company’s stockholders. Moreover, Section 1031 of the Code permits exchanges of real property only. Legislation that could modify or repeal the laws with respect to Section 1031 Exchanges could be enacted, which could make it more difficult or not possible for us to dispose of properties on a tax-deferred basis. If we are unable to complete transactions as Section 1031 Exchanges, our taxable income and earnings and profits could increase, which would increase the portion of any distribution with respect to our common stock that is treated as dividend income instead of return of capital.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2024, we had $99.6 million of California net operating loss carryforwards as well as approximately $87.6 million of foreign tax credits, which
