Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

Board of Directors and Stockholders

CTO Realty Growth, Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Revenues and Direct Costs of Revenues of Madison Yards (the “Property”) for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes (the “Historical Summary”).

In our opinion, the accompanying Historical Summary presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and direct costs of revenues of the Property for the year ended December 31, 2021, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit of the Historical Summary in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of CTO Realty Growth, Inc., and the Property and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Responsibilities of management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Historical Summary that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Historical Summary, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Property’s ability to continue as a going concern for the time period set by the applicable financial reporting framework; for US GAAP: one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the Historical Summary.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Historical Summary, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary.
--- ---
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
--- ---

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the Historical Summary.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Property’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
--- ---

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 2 to the Historical Summary, which describes that the accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purposes of complying with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8-K of CTO Realty Growth, Inc.) and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenues and direct expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2021

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

On July 8, 2022, CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (the “Company” or “CTO”) completed the acquisition of a retail center located in Atlanta, Georgia (“Madison Yards” or the “Property”) from a certain project owner (the “Seller”) for a purchase price of $80.2 million. The acquisition was funded using (a) available cash, (b) 1031 like-kind exchange proceeds generated from certain of the Company’s previously completed property dispositions, and (c) proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying historical summary of revenues and direct costs of revenues (the “Historical Summary”) includes the operations of the Property and has been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, the Historical Summary is not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as revenues, and certain operating expenses, which may not be directly attributable to the revenues and expenses expected to be incurred in the future operations of the Property, have been excluded. Such items include depreciation, amortization, interest expense, interest income, and amortization of above- and below-market leases.

INCOME PROPERTY LEASE REVENUE

The rental arrangements associated with tenants of the Property are classified as operating leases. Accordingly, base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Tenant reimbursement revenue is recognized as the related expenses are incurred and become recoverable from tenants.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances may affect the reported revenues. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Leasing revenue consists of long-term rental revenue, which is recognized as earned, using the straight-line method over the life of each lease. The components of leasing revenue are as follows (in thousands):

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Leasing Revenue
Lease Payments $ 1,228
Variable Lease Payments 354
Total Lease Income $ 1,582

​ ​

For the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Leasing Revenue
Lease Payments $ 4,972
Variable Lease Payments 1,402
Total Lease Income $ 6,374

NOTE 4. MINIMUM FUTURE RENTAL RECEIPTS

Minimum future rental receipts under non-cancelable operating leases, excluding percentage rent and other lease payments that are not fixed and determinable, having remaining terms in excess of one year subsequent to March 31, 2022, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Year Ending December 31, ****
Remainder of 2022 $ 3,915
2023 5,069
2024 4,988

2026 4,823
2027 4,864
2028 and thereafter (cumulative) 28,295
Total $ 56,729

NOTE 5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

There are two tenants in the Property presented in the Historical Summary that accounted for an aggregate of  46.2% and 45.7% of base rent revenues reported for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

​<br><br>​<br><br>​ A GROCERY-<br><br>IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA FOR $80.2 MILLION<br><br>​
FOR<br><br>IMMEDIATE<br><br>RELEASE ​<br><br>CTO REALTY GROWTH ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF GROCERY-<br><br>ANCHORED RETAIL PROPERTY IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA FOR $80.2 MILLION

WINTER PARK, FL – July 11, 2022 – CTO Realty Growth, Inc. (NYSE: CTO) (the “Company” or “CTO”) today announced it has acquired Madison Yards, a 162,500 square foot property located in the Inman Park/Reynoldstown submarket along the Memorial Drive corridor of Atlanta, Georgia (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $80.2 million. The purchase price represents a going-in cap rate below the range of the Company’s guidance for initial cash yields.

“We are very excited to be increasing our presence in Atlanta with our acquisition of Madison Yards, fortifying it as our portfolio’s largest market and adding to our grocery-anchored property exposure,” said John P. Albright, President and Chief Executive Officer of CTO Realty Growth. “Atlanta has benefitted from sustained population growth and tremendous corporate investment in recent years, and Madison Yards is a terrific opportunity for us to invest in a high-quality, newly built grocery-anchored shopping center in an infill location along Atlanta’s Beltline at an attractive risk-adjusted yield.”

Madison Yards was constructed in 2019, sits on more than 10 acres right off the Atlanta’s Beltline Eastside Trail and is conveniently located just two miles from Downtown Atlanta. The broader market corridor has seen more than 2,000 multi-family units delivered in the last five years, including Greystar’s Elan Madison Yards project, and benefits from excellent demographics with a five-mile population of 374,000 and five-mile average household incomes of more than $125,000.  The Property is 98% occupied, anchored by Publix and AMC Theatres, includes a well-crafted mix of retailers and restaurants, including AT&T, First Watch, and Orangetheory Fitness, and is the Company’s first Publix-anchored center.

The Property was purchased through a 1031 like-kind exchange using $17.5 million of restricted cash generated from the Company’s previously completed property dispositions, available unrestricted cash, and draws from the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The acquisition was structured as a reverse like-kind exchange in order to account for possible future dispositions of income properties by the Company.
