Corporate Update ▪ Resilient Portfolio Built for Long Term Success: We believe that the financial strength of the tenants in our portfolio will offset some of the potential disruption from the COVID - 19 crisis and will continue to position NYCR well in the long - term. Although we are likely still in the middle stages of this economic event, we are pleased with the resiliency our portfolio has shown thro ugh these uncertain times ▪ Corporate Response: Beginning in early March, we took proactive steps to prepare for and actively mitigate potential disruptions COVID - 19 would cause. Our advisor enacted safety measures, both required or recommended by local and federal authorities, including remote work policies, cooperation with localized closure or curfew directives, and social distancing measures ▪ Proactive Approach with Positive Results: We remain in direct contact with our tenants since the crisis began, creating open dialogue and deepening the fundamental relationships that we have carefully developed through prior transactions. Thanks to these conversations and the strenuous due diligence and underwriting standards our team has adhered to over the last several years, we’ve experienced great success in our Cash Rent collection efforts during this pandemic ▪ For the month of April, NYCR received 73% of the Cash Rent due across the portfolio ▪ Of the April Cash Rent remaining, rent Deferral Agreements (2) have been approved for 9% of the unpaid Cash Rent while another 16% of Cash Rent is currently in deferral Negotiation (3) NYCR’s focused effort in response to COVID - 19 successfully resulted in over 73% of April Cash Rent (1) collected Note: April Cash Rent collection data as of April 30, 2020.

12 Risk Factors There are risks associated with an investment in our Company . The following is a summary of some of these risks .

There can be no assurance we will be able to resume paying distributions at our previous level or at all ; • Our properties may be adversely affected by economic cycles and risks inherent to the New York metropolitan statistical area, especially New York City ; • We are subject to risks associated with a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the ongoing global COVID - 19 pandemic, including negative impacts on our tenants and their respective businesses ; • We are obligated to pay fees, which may be substantial, to our Advisor and its affiliates ; • We may fail to continue to qualify to be treated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ; • Because investment opportunities that are suitable for us may also be suitable for other AR Global - advised programs or investors, our Advisor and its affiliates may face conflicts of interest relating to the purchase of properties and other investments and such conflicts may not be resolved in our favor, meaning that we could invest in less attractive assets, which could reduce the investment return to our stockholders ; • Any potential future acquisition is subject to market conditions and capital availability and may not be identified or completed on favorable terms ; • No public market currently exists, or may ever exist, for shares of our common stock and our shares are, and may continue to be, illiquid ; • Our stockholders are limited in their ability to sell their shares pursuant to our share repurchase program which is currently suspended and may have to hold their shares for an indefinite period of time ; • If we and our Advisor are unable to find suitable investments, then we may not be able to achieve our investment objectives, or pay distributions ; and • As of March 31 , 2020 , we owned only eight properties and therefore have limited diversification .
