•the risk that shareholder litigation in connection with the Merger (defined below) may result in significant indemnification costs;
•tax audits and other regulatory inquiries;
•the Company's ability to maintain compliance with the financial and other covenants in its debt agreements;

Except for ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. All of the above factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect the Company's actual results and may be beyond the Company's control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company's management to predict all such factors or to assess the effects of each factor on the Company's business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's current expectations will be realized.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation/Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statement disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring accruals) have been included. The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods covered by the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K").
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and its subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods beginning after the effective date, but entities may elect to apply the ASU retrospectively to any or all

prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Other accounting standards that have been recently issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies are not currently applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 3. Real Estate
A significant portion of the Company's land, buildings and improvements serve as collateral for the Company's secured term loans. Accordingly, restrictions exist as to the encumbered properties' transferability, use and other common rights typically associated with property ownership.
The Company's depreciation expense on real estate was $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $3.2 million and $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, deferred costs and other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, due to WHLR and below market lease intangibles approximate their fair value due to their terms and/or short-term nature.
The fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans was estimated using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates the Company believes it could obtain with similar terms and maturities. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company's fixed rate secured term loans, which were determined to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, was $134.1 million and $137.5 million, respectively, and the carrying value of such loans, was $134.5 million and $134.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of the April 2025 Bridge Loan (as defined below) approximated its carrying value as it is a variable-rate loan.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements consist of assets held for sale, which, if applicable, are measured on a nonrecurring basis, and have been determined to be (1) Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, where applicable, based on the respective contracts of sale, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, or (2) Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, where applicable, based on estimated sales prices, adjusted for closing costs and expenses, determined by discounted cash flow analyses, income capitalization analyses or a sales comparison approach if no contracts had been concluded. The discounted cash flow and income capitalization analyses include all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period and, where applicable, any estimated debt premiums. These cash flows were composed of unobservable inputs, which included forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon existing in-place leases, market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these analyses were based upon observable rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. The sales comparison approach is utilized for certain land values and includes comparable sales that were completed in the selected market areas. The comparable sales utilized in these analyses were based upon observable per acre rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties.

August 2025 Credit Facility
On August 15, 2025, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement with KeyBank National Association to draw up to $20.0 million (the "August 2025 Credit Facility") pursuant to which the Company may request a loan advance no more frequently than once per calendar month and which can only be used in conjunction with the 2025 Repurchase Program (as defined below). The interest rate under the August 2025 Credit Facility for each draw is at the Company's option of either a base rate, daily simple SOFR or term SOFR, plus an applicable margin. Interest payments are due monthly, and any outstanding principal is due at maturity on August 15, 2027. The total outstanding principal under the August 2025 Credit Facility must be reduced to no greater than $10.0 million by February 15, 2027. The August 2025 Credit Facility was collateralized by three properties, consisting of Carll's Corner, Fieldstone Marketplace, and the South Philadelphia parcels, and is guaranteed by the Company and WHLR. Upon the 2025 dispositions of a South Philadelphia land parcel, Carll's Corner and Fieldstone Marketplace, they were each released from collateral and the Company paid down approximately $10.3 million of the August 2025 Credit Facility. Although the August 2025 Credit Facility provides for total borrowings of up to $20.0 million, the Company did not have access to the full commitment as of June 30, 2026. Availability under the facility is subject to certain covenants and conditions established at origination, including requirements tied to projected asset sales and projected net sales proceeds.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Lease Commitments
The Company is a lessee under one ground lease agreement at June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company's remaining lease term is approximately 44.9 years, and the discount rate used to calculate the Company's lease liability is approximately 8.6 %. Rent expense under the Company's ground lease agreements was approximately $0.1
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including, but not limited to commercial disputes. The Company believes that such litigation, claims and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position or its results of operations. The Company records a liability when it considers the loss probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Preferred stockholders of the Company have filed a putative class action suit against the directors of the Company prior to its August 2022 merger (the "Merger") with a WHLR subsidiary (collectively, the "Former Directors") in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (the "Circuit Court") captioned Anthony Aquino, et al. v. Bruce Schanzer, et al., Case No.: C-15-CV-25-000731 (the "Aquino Action"). The Aquino Action alleges that the Former Directors breached their duties to the Company’s preferred stockholders through the Merger. The plaintiffs in the Aquino Action have alleged as damages the decline in value of the Company's preferred stock after the Merger was announced. The Company and, pursuant to the agreement entered into in connection with the Merger, WHLR, have a contractual obligation to indemnify the Former Directors, including for reasonable costs and legal fees. On May 5, 2026, the parties to the Aquino Action and WHLR entered into a term sheet to resolve the litigation subject to
13

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)
approval by the Circuit Court and agreement by the Circuit Court to stay the current discovery schedule. By Order entered on July 2, 2026, the Circuit Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement and scheduled a hearing for final approval on October 8, 2026 following notice to members of the settlement class and their opportunity to object. The outcome of the matter cannot be predicted if the settlement is not given final approval.
WHLR has agreed to pay an amount not expected to exceed $0.9 million toward the settlement (the "Aquino Settlement"). During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, WHLR recorded a liability for the loss related to the Aquino Settlement in the amount of $0.4 million.
In addition, there is a dispute between WHLR and the Former Cedar Directors with respect to the amount of indemnification for their legal fees and costs. The amount in dispute is currently between $1.3 million and $1.4 million. WHLR contests the demand. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the applicable agreement calls for litigation to be brought in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. At this juncture, the outcome of the matter cannot be predicted.

Note 11. Segment Reporting
The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers. The CODM reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis and, accordingly, each property represents an individual operating segment. The CODM uses net operating income ("NOI") to assist in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess the Company's financial performance. The Company defines NOI as revenues (rental and other revenues), less real estate and other property-related taxes, insurance and property operating expenses. Common area maintenance expenses, utilities, ground rent and management fees are reviewed by the CODM collectively as property operating expenses. The Company has no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, the Company has aggregated its properties into one reportable segment as the properties share similar long-term economic characteristics and have other similarities including the fact that they are operated using consistent business strategies, are typically located in similar markets, and have similar tenant mixes.
The following tables provide information about the Company's segment revenues, significant segment expenses, NOI and a reconciliation of NOI to the Company’s consolidated operating income:

Executive Summary
The Company is a fully-integrated real estate investment trust that focuses on owning and operating income producing retail properties with a primary focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers, predominantly located in the Northeast, and is a subsidiary of WHLR. At June 30, 2026, the Company owned a portfolio of 12 properties.
The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents and operating expense reimbursements received pursuant to leases. The Company's operating results therefore depend on the ability of its tenants to make the payments required by the terms of their leases. The Company primarily focuses its investment activities on grocery-anchored shopping centers. The Company believes that, because of the need of consumers to purchase food and other staple goods and services generally available at such centers, its type of "necessities-based" properties should provide relatively stable revenue flows even during difficult economic times.

Same-Property Net Operating Income
Same-property net operating income ("Same-Property NOI") is a widely-used non-GAAP financial measure for REITs. The Company believes that Same-Property NOI is a useful measure of the Company's property operating performance. The Company defines Same-Property NOI as property revenues (rental and other revenues) less property and related expenses (property operation and maintenance and real estate taxes). Because Same-Property NOI excludes above (below) market lease amortization, straight-line rents, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on sale or capital expenditures and leasing costs and impairment charges, it provides a performance measure, that when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from operating income. The Company uses Same-Property NOI to evaluate its operating performance since Same-Property NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact of factors, such as occupancy levels, lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, have on the Company's results, margins and returns. Properties are included in Same-Property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared ("Same-Property" or "Same-Properties"). Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from Same-Property NOI.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is consolidated operating income. Same-Property NOI should not be considered as an alternative to consolidated operating income prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Further, Same-Property NOI is a measure for which there is no standard industry definition and, as such, it is not consistently defined or reported on among the Company's peers and thus may not provide an adequate basis for comparison among REITs.
The following table is a reconciliation of Same-Property NOI from operating income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company funds operating expenses and other liquidity requirements, including debt service and loan maturities, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions, primarily from its operations, asset sales and the $17.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2026. The Company does not have any scheduled debt maturities for the twelve months ending June 30, 2027, except for the principal payments relating to Timpany Plaza. The Company is working to increase revenue by improving occupancy, which includes backfilling vacant anchor spaces and replacing defaulted tenants. Tenant improvements and leasing commissions for these efforts will be partially funded by restricted cash, strategic disposition of assets and financing of properties.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company retired a total of 14,950 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 127,050 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company retired a total of 14,950 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 421,050 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Since 2024, the Company retired a total of 607,322 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and a total of 3,191,828 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which carried an aggregate liquidation value of $95.0 million, for approximately $53.4 million, including fees and expenses. Part of these retirements were funded by asset sales, the April 2025 Bridge Loan and the August 2025 Credit Facility, and part related to contributions from WHLR. The shares retired since 2024
23
will reduce future annual dividend payments by $6.3 million. The Company intends to continue repurchasing its Preferred Stock as both series are currently trading at a discount to their liquidation value, presenting a strategic opportunity to buy back shares at favorable prices. By reducing the number of shares eligible for dividend payments, the Company believes it may partially offset the net operating income lost from the recent sales of certain properties as it seeks to enhance its financial stability, strengthen its balance sheet, optimize its capital allocation, and maximize shareholder value.
In order to continue qualifying as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company paid preferred stock dividends through the second quarter of 2026 and has continued to declare preferred stock dividends through the third quarter of 2026. Future dividend declarations will continue to be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, capital requirements, annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Net cash provided by operating activities, before net changes in operating assets and liabilities, was $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were primarily the result of net proceeds received from the sales of real estate and the Company's expenditures for property improvements. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $0.7 million of expenditures for property improvements. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received $13.9 million of net proceeds from the sale of Webster Commons and $2.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of Oregon Avenue, partially offset by $1.8 million of expenditures incurred for property improvements.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid $2.4 million of preferred stock dividends and made $0.1 million of principal payments for the Timpany Plaza Loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased $31.8 million of preferred stock, paid down borrowings of $9.2 million primarily for the October 2022 Term Loan, paid $3.7 million of preferred stock dividends, paid $0.5 million in a loan prepayment premium and paid $0.2 million of deferred financing costs, which was partially offset by $10.0 million of proceeds received from the April 2025 Bridge Loan.
Funds From Operations
We use funds from operations ("FFO"), a non-GAAP measure, as an alternative measure of our operating performance, specifically as it relates to results of operations and liquidity. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999, April 2002 and December 2018). As defined by Nareit, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs), plus impairment of real estate related long-lived assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including us, consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions and excluding depreciation, FFO is a helpful tool that can assist in the comparison of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods, or as compared to different companies. Management uses FFO as a supplemental measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated with using GAAP net income alone as the primary measure of our operating
24
performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, while historically real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Accordingly, we believe FFO provides a valuable alternative measurement tool to GAAP when presenting our operating results.
We believe the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit's definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. These items include, but are not limited to, legal settlements, non-cash amortization on loans and acquisition costs. Therefore, in addition to FFO, management uses Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"), which we define to exclude such items. Management believes that these adjustments are appropriate in determining AFFO as they are not indicative of the operating performance of our assets. In addition, we believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for the investing community to use in comparing us to other REITs as many REITs provide some form of adjusted or modified FFO. However, there can be no assurance that AFFO presented by us is comparable to the adjusted or modified FFO of other REITs.
A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders to FFO and AFFO is as follows:

Macroeconomic Considerations
Evolving macroeconomic conditions, including global macroeconomic challenges such as changes in trade policies, sanctions, treaties, tariffs, regulatory requirements, uncertainty in the financial markets, economic instability and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates, may affect our business. Substantially all of the Company's leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require tenants to reimburse the Company for inflation-sensitive costs such as real estate taxes, insurance and many of the operating expenses it incurs. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on the Company's business. Conversely, deflation could lead to downward pressure on rents and other sources of income.
Fluctuations in interest rates and governmental tariff-related measures could significantly impact our operating portfolio and overall financial performance. Interest rate increases could result in higher incremental borrowing costs for the Company and our tenants. The duration of the Company's indebtedness and our relatively low exposure to floating rate debt have mitigated the direct impact of inflation and interest rate increases. In a low or stable interest rate environment, we may benefit from lower borrowing costs, enabling strategic investments, acquisitions, or capital returns to shareholders. Additionally, we monitor market conditions to adjust our capital allocation accordingly, maintain a disciplined financial approach and seek to optimize returns while managing exposure to interest rate volatility. The degree and pace of these changes have had and may continue to have impacts on our business. Changes in macroeconomic conditions could lead to construction cost variances for the Company, additional tenant costs, which may affect rental rates, and shifts in tenant mix that may impact the Company's operating income.
